Free Web NovelChapter 60: Harley: I wish Nothing More than Peace, is There a Hole I can Hide In?!
Alex had very fortunately taken hold of Darius’s weakness, so he naturally would not easily give it up. He continued aggressively, "Alchemist is the most respected, most dignified profession in the whole of Dragon City, yet you not only did not stand up to greet my master upon his arrival, but also continue to remain seated? How arrogant can you be?
Kneel down quickly and beg my Master for a punishment!"
Darius looked at this scene and bitterly smiled inwardly,’ What’s going on this earth, did power rot these people brain’s?’ He wished nothing more than to run back at his pavilion and keep working, but the system had to drag him into a mission.
He didn’t want to decline since the rewards were tempting, but he didn’t expect the situation would be same as last time, and not even an entire day had passed. Was he becoming a Chinese protagonist? Face slapping every other Chapter? He might as well stop going out at this point.
Jordan frowned slightly. Alchemists were indeed very rare and held a high status in Dragon City. For example, even though this Harleywas only in the ninth layer of True Qi Realm, as he was a Tier-1 Grade medium level alchemist, even strong cultivators of the Qi Acupoint Realm like himself and Sharley had to show him some face and satisfy Harley’s ego.
Now that Sharley and his grandson had taken advantage of this point to attack Darius, he really might encounter some trouble, much more than he intially thought.
Clasping his fists, Jordan said, "Alchemist Harley, many apologies. If my friend has done anything to offend you, I hereby apologize on his behalf. As a forgiving, generous man, please do not lower yourself to the same level as a youngster."
Harley hadn’t even noticed Darius to begin with. He only found out what was going on after hearing Alex’s reprimand, so he couldn’t control his rising dissatisfaction and said, "Snowwell family head, you’re really quite incredible. You invited me to dinner, so I offered you due respect by coming here. Yet you actually allow a youngster you brought with you to humiliate me? Snort, what kind of logic is this?"
Jordan was quite troubled, Darius had assured him that things would be fine, yet even now the young man seemed glued into his chair refusing to move,’ Why am I the one defending you and begging for forgivness, aren’t you supposed to be the one who will do this?’ He really wanted nothing more than to cry, but in such a situation he could only adapt.
He was also a shrew man, by humiliating his guest it also means rubbing his face on the dirt, Jordan could understand such things or else he wouldn’t bother to speak up that fast and defend Darius.
"Kid, kneel down now!" Alex smiled coldly. He knew very well that alchemical pills were one of the most important sources of income for the family; thus even if Jordan did not want to, he had no choice but to concede on this issue and pressure the young man to do as told.
Alex didn’t really have any enmity with him, but Darius’s tone earlier and the way he threatened him made him so furious that he wished nothing more than to punch that smug face right now and then, but since he couldn’t do it, he might as well use his master to trash him.
’Forced to kneel by Jordan, Darius would definitely be very depressed and unbearably sorrowful, wouldn’t he? Hahahahaha!"
"Alchemist Harl..." Jordan tried again to advise Harley to let things go.
Harleyonly raised his hand to stop Jordan from continuing to speak. He did not even look at Darius till this very moment but he knew he was an arrogant kid from what Alex said so far, so he only said casually, "Let your young friend kneel down in front of me to explain."
"Peng!"
Jordan slammed his hand heavily down on the table and said, "Alchemist Harley, I do not know what benefits you have received from the Silvermanes family to help them make trouble for our Snowwell family. But don’t you dare go to far. You actually want my friend to kneel down? Get lost!"
"How dare you!" Sharley immediately shouted loudly, "Jordan, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to bring ruin to the family? The family does not just belong to you alone! As someone who does not care about the big picture, what right do you have to continue to hold onto the position of Family Head of the Snowwell family?"
Jordan’s gaze turned heavy, and he said, "Who of those here is the one who does not care about the big picture? Because I considered the fact that we share the same surname, Snowwell, there were some things that I did not bring out into the open, yet you all bully my young friend in this manner. Do you really think I, Jordan, am already dead or easy to step on?"
"Enough, if you’re going to engage in a family squabble, then have your argument at home. I’m a very busy man," Harley interrupted. "Quickly make this brat kneel down in front of me in apology."
"Harley, who are you asking to kneel?" Darius finally opened his mouth as he asked calmly.

At first, Sharley and Alex were both shocked, thinking secretly that Darius was really gutsy to actually call Alchemist Harley directly by his name. Yet immediately, they looked extremely pleased...Dariush had completely offended Harley now! Jordan and his friend were definitely finished!
’Haha, I knew that this brat would bring ruin to Jordan.’ Alex wore a smug face, as though he saw through Darius’s entire personality and made this devilish plan to ruin Jordan and Darius at the same time.
"You trash, to actually call my master by his name directly, how dare you!" Alex immediately shouted. He definitely had to take advantage of such a grand opportunity to flatter Harley.
However, he had not seen that Harley’s expression quickly turned ugly. He had even stood up from his seat immediately.
This voice...how could Harley ever forget this voice?
