Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 774: Men's War (1)

"The Marquis of Metalon has arrived. Why didn't someone inform us first? We should have personally picked you up!"

Several flying cars were parked outside Belmond's family camp. Ten Adahua Planet people, including Metallon, alighted from the car and were welcomed into the camp by Roddy. Roddy was wearing a black suit today, but it seemed too narrow for him to outline Roddy's muscular body. Especially the collar. In order to fasten the collar, the neck of this strong man could be strangled red.

Metalon changed into casual clothes today. He was not dressed as solemnly as he was yesterday. He was obviously visiting in his personal capacity. He smiled and said, "Mr. Roddy is being too serious. Speaking of which, we are grateful that His Highness has entrusted him with the care of Beth Cord. Her Highness, she …"

"She's in the camp."

At this moment, a tall young man walked out from behind Metalon. "I'll go find him."

He nodded at Roddy and flashed into the camp. Roddy frowned. Metallon looked into his eyes and explained, "This young man called Link is His Highness' childhood friend. He was naturally a little nervous when he saw him at the end of many years. He made Mr. Roddy laugh."

"Nothing. Young man, it's normal for you to be impatient." Roddy laughed.

'"Apart from visiting His Highness, the most important thing is to cooperate with your family in the field of magic. This is Mr. Mira. He is one of the representatives of the merchant group. I think you will have a lot to talk about."

"Naturally."

As Roddy received the Adahua Planet envoy into the camp, Link found Lucy and asked Alan to leave. Alan shrugged and looked at Lucy. The latter nodded and left without disturbing the two of them. But he did not go far, and stayed under a tree in the shade of the path, cross-legged to catch a cold.

A moment later, Lucy's angry shout suddenly sounded. Alan immediately stood up and frowned. Lucy was walking out of the room angrily, and Link was following behind her. Link grabbed Lucy's hand and waved her arm angrily, wanting to shake him off. Link clenched his grip so tightly that Lucy couldn't shake it off. "Let me go, Link!" He said angrily.

"No, unless you come back with me."

"Are you crazy? I should have made it clear yesterday that it was my own idea to stay or go. It's not your turn to interfere."

'"I'm not crazy," Link pushed his glasses up his nose. "I asked my father last night. He agreed to give me the necessary support in this matter!"

"What do you mean by necessary support? Do you want to threaten me with Archduke Reibis?"

"Of course Father won't threaten you, but he also feels that we are about our age. So if you don't go back, he will probably ask Emperor Orfasis for a marriage alliance."

"What?"

"What!"

The two voices rang out at the same time. Lucy looked back in shock and saw the shocked Alan. His heart skipped a beat and he said, "Alan, that …"

Alan took a deep breath and walked up to Lucy. He reached out to hold Link's wrist and said, "Anyway, please let her go first."

"We don't need an outsider like you to interfere in our affairs!" Link's eyes flashed with anger. "What do you think you are? A mere heir to a family isn't number one. And Lucy, she's my Adahua Planet's queen. Do you really think you're worthy of her?"

"I don't think liking a person requires matching identities, but whether they attract each other and like each other!" "And now," said Alan, tit for tat, "I'm pretty sure Lucy likes me. As long as she doesn't want to leave, I won't let anyone interfere with her!"

"Do you really think you have that much weight? So big that you can fight against my father and even the entire royal court of Adahua Planet?" Link sneered.

Alan said calmly, "If you need me, I can give it a try."

"Try?" Link shook off Alan and let go of Lucy. "Is it better to say you're arrogant or ignorant? Don't you think too highly of yourself, Mr. Alan?"

'"I have never overestimated myself, nor have I ever underestimated myself. Just as Miss Shargren said yesterday, in the face of fate, there are some who stand up and some who give up. And I, am willing to be the one who rises. Because the girl behind me is worthy of me standing up and fighting!" Fire burst out from Ellen's eyes, and his gaze was fierce.

Lucy's chest rose and fell in excitement. She took a deep breath and stood beside Ellen. "Me too. If my status as the Empress had to endure this, then I would rather give up this status!"

"You can't do this!" Link roared, "How can you abandon your glory as a son and daughter of the royal family for the sake of being with this man! If you do this, where do you want your majesty and the royal court to be?"

'"If father really loves me, then he has to consider my feelings as a daughter and not impose on me what I don't want to accept. If he doesn't love me, then why should I worry about him, about a place where I've never felt warmth? Answer me, Link!" Lucy shouted. Her stubbornness and arrogance were like raging flames at this moment!

Link was speechless, but he immediately vented the flames in his heart on Ellen. Link was like an angry lion, completely losing his solemn and calm appearance from yesterday. He even pulled off his scarf and opened his collar, allowing the flames in his body to pour out several parts. The surging Origin Energy caused a crackling noise to resound in the surroundings. Lucy's expression changed when she heard it and cried, "What do you want, Link!"

"Didn't he say that he could protect you? Then, I will weigh his weight now! Your Highness, I will prove to you that the man you like is just an arrogant and ignorant fellow!" Link shouted.

"Stop! I forbid you to do this!" Lucy said anxiously.

Ellen pulled her away and smiled, "Mr. Link's idea suits me. Nothing can persuade him better, can it?"

Lucy shook her head and said, "Is that really necessary?"

Alan looked straight at Link and said, "As long as you're a man, some wars in your life are bound to happen, aren't they, Mr. Link?"

"I agree with this point."

"Then, let's begin!" Alan pushed her back and sent Lucy away with a gentle force. He immediately activated his Origin Energy, and faint flame patterns appeared on the back of his hand. Alan's body temperature rose a little, causing his skin to flush faintly. Waves of hot smoke rose out of thin air and began to circulate around him. As Alan's origin energy accelerated, the white smoke began to circulate faster.
