"One hundred forty-nine seconds ?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw Melkon walk towards Archimedes, and their eyes followed his movements. It wasn't that no one wanted to know where Archimedes came from, but no one knew him. Everyone's heart was filled with doubt, but no one spoke to break the mood. They all wanted to see if this human youth could bring them a surprise. When they saw Archimedes' power level, they couldn't help but secretly shake their heads. They could almost see Archimedes beaten up.

When he was four or five paces from Archimedes, Melkon said in a cold voice, "Are you the one who tried to deceive Josephine?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Archimedes, even though he knew he could not defeat the other, did not weaken in the least. He stood up and said, "Josephine is already my woman. Do you have any objections?"

There was a gasp at the party, and they all tried to get confirmation from Josephine, only to find that Josephine had already left. Although everyone was very suspicious, they still had a bit of trust in the depths of their hearts. This was Josephine's home, and in front of so many people. He probably wouldn't lie.

Although the beastmen had been at loggerheads with the humans, they had yet to go up and tear them apart. There were quite a few human beings in the beast race's territory. Moreover, it was quite common for two people to get married together. In this regard, there were clear differences between the Beastmen and the Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, and Druids. The Beastmen did not care about the chaos in their blood.

The beastmen were called orcs because their evolution wasn't complete. Although they looked more than 90% alike to humans, they still had some traces of their own species on them. For example, the tail of a fox, the colourful fur on the four limbs of a tiger, the nose of a lion, and the ears of a wolf ? "I don't just have objections, I'm going to kill you!" As Malkin spoke, he suddenly jumped up and dashed toward Archimedes.

The battle, which was supposed to take place when Melkon asked Josephine's grandfather to marry him, was brought forward, and the guests, fearful of the consequences, got up and moved aside.

The middle-aged man behind Melkon wanted to stop him, but he realized that he had already rushed over. He did not dare to forcefully stop him, and could only watch helplessly as he charged towards Archimedes.

At this moment, Archimedes no longer had a way out. He took the greatsword out of his interspatial ring and hacked at Melkan's head.

When the monsoon saw that Archimedes was no match for Melkan, it immediately used its spiritual energy to wrap up some of the dark elemental fire element. It instantly condensed into a small fireball and flew towards his lower abdomen.

Milken was still very strong. Although the small fireball condensed from dark elemental fire couldn't be seen, he was still aware of the danger. He subconsciously wanted to change his move, but the fireball formed by Ji Feng was right in front of him. Furthermore, due to his anger, his speed was very fast. Although he had already sensed the danger and made the corresponding movements on the mountain wall, it was already too late. The two dark elemental fireballs pierced through his armor and entered his lower abdomen.

Malcolm froze, then fell. Archimedes did not know that Ji Feng was helping him from the shadows. By the time he realized that something was wrong with Malcolm, it was too late for him to stop. However, he also knew that if he killed Milken, he and Ji Feng would be hunted down by the Tigers. Although it was too late to stop, Archimedes had changed his direction midway. His greatsword had changed direction as a result. It landed on Melkon's face, creating a deep cut on it. Blood immediately spurted out.

Melkan fell to the ground in front of the crowd and let out a roar. This howl was caused by both pain and anger.

The wind picked up, pulling Archimedes, who was still in a daze, with it, as he ran towards the backyard. After running two steps, Archimedes finally reacted. He broke away from Ji Feng's hand, sheathed his greatsword, and followed closely behind Ji Feng. Soon, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The middle-aged man behind Malkin immediately shouted, "Who is the healer?"

Those who were invited were all experts, so naturally, there was a healer. Under the constant onslaught of several therapists, Melkan's injuries quickly stabilized.

There was a large round table in the living room of the courtyard where Austen lived. Most of the chairs around the table were already occupied. Austen, as the main character, was naturally present, and those who could sit here were naturally not ordinary people. Otherwise, based on his status, he would not have personally come to receive them, and would even be in his courtyard.

"Old fox, time flies. In the blink of an eye, you're already 150 years old?" The one who spoke was the grand elder of the wolf clan, Bud.

"Yeah, thinking about how we peeked at the Fairy girl bathing under the nagging of those fellows from the human race, that was the only time I ever ran away. Hehe ?" The former patriarch of the Lion Tribe, Atwood, laughed.

Just like the Tigers, the Lions did not have Elders Guild. These two clans' method of selecting their clan leader was the same as the Beast Race's election for the position of emperor. They respected the strong. The tribes had chosen a warrior, and the victor was the patriarch. Different from the time when the Emperor was about to die, the patriarchs of these two clans changed every thirty years. Of course, this was without any accidents.

Yatwood's words brought back memories among the crowd. They talked about things they used to be happy about, occasionally letting out soft laughs. At this moment, hurried footsteps approached, and they even pushed open the door without reporting.

It was the butler, Fredrick, who entered the room. The butler displeased Austen with his performance, and asked him immediately, "What happened? Did you come in without knocking?"

But this matter was too important. If he did not report it immediately, he would be punished even more severely. After all, he had seen much of the world.

Before he could finish, a figure darted out. It was Malcolm's grandfather, Gustav.

"Everyone, please wait for a moment. I'll go take a look."

As soon as his voice fell, Attwood said, "Let's go take a look as well. I want to see what kind of background those two humans have. They can actually injure Melkon in one move."

"Shall we go together?" The one who spoke was the elder of the bear clan, Boris.

By the time they left, Gustav was long gone. Seeing that Fredrick was hesitating to speak, Austen knew that he must have something that was inconvenient to say. "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Fredric glanced at the people behind the old man, knowing that he could not hide his expression from them. "Master," he said, "Miss Josephine brought those two back."

"Where is he?"

"He fled."

"He ran away? What are you all doing? "

"As soon as they wounded Melkan, they ran away. Melkan was severely injured at that time, and none of them could react. After Malkin's injuries stabilized, people began to think of the two of them. The two of them have already escaped through the back door. "

"You sure are a good housekeeper. There's actually someone who can come and go freely in this mansion?"

Fredrick broke out in a cold sweat. He had been too preoccupied with Melkon to stop Monsoon and Archimedes, and Josephine had brought them back with him. If he had stopped them, he would not have had a good time if the Eldest Miss had been angry. The person the old tutor doted on the most was his granddaughter. No one knew whether or not the old tutor knew beforehand.

By this time Josephine had received the news, and she had been so frightened that she had not expected such a great deviation. She had intended to goad Malcolm into a duel. Even if Archimedes couldn't beat Melkon, she would still use Archimedes as a shield to reject him. However, the development of the situation was completely different from what he had expected.
