Knights, Magic, and Technology
the chapter 70

"oh....

very good story"

Arcane was still sitting and eating the snack leisurely while Brian was surprised at the serenity that Arcane let alone his always flat eyes were expressionless.

"then? why did you even come into contact with the Underworld instead of going and looking for a new life? "

arcane.

Brian was a little embarrassed to answer, he then looked at his wife with a look of affection and a gentle smile.

"because there was him when the slave became the slave the servant had fallen in love with him.

in addition you must know why I did not get out of this capital besides that by intersecting with the underworld indirectly I protect my son and wife."

Arcane nodded in understanding because if Brian came out of this city it would only make someone without a background an easy target to be made a slave.

this was a normal sight for the underworld, though, but Brian's decision is the right decision to form a place that can be a link both the underworld and the kingdom indirectly where it must be protected.

although not in full with the risks of damage and large losses that are always threatening, this choice is better than no progress in life.

"who is the child who helped you? " said Arcane briefly.

Brian chuckled and then replied to Arcane.

"haha.....

you always forget the good you did"

Arcane tilted his head still confused by the Answer given, but then a young woman approached Brian and said softly.

"dad, is he the most valuable person in your life? "

Brian turned his head and found his daughter who could be said to be a teenager around 17 years old he nodded and introduced Arcane to his family.

"Lou my son, Hana my wife introduced the man who saved me from the restraints of the slave chain he was the one we always supported.

the 3rd Prince Arcane Fortis"

Hana was surprised and immediately knelt down as she said.

"thank you, thank you for saving him from falling"

while Lou's expression was the opposite he did not even accept.

"what! I will never acknowledge this kind of person as the savior of the family, I better return to being an animal!!!"

"Lou wait!!! " said Brian who saw Lou leaving the room.

meanwhile, Hannah prostrated herself and begged for mercy.

"forgive the son of the master's servant, he does have a stubborn attitude"

Arcane glanced at Hana and said with a little emphasis.

"forgive? what do you mean forgive? "

Brian there immediately sweated a diminiin, he immediately prostrated beside his wife and said.

"prince I beg for your mercy, he is our adopted son but even so we have considered his own flesh and blood So begging servant"

before Brian said any further, Arcane cut him off.

"Brian, what exactly are you doing? "

hearing Arcane's words he got more goosebumps and now he banged his head against the floor, saw that Arcane was leaning on the sofa and crossed his legs.

Arcane then stared at the dark window and the sound of rain was still heard.

"What do you bow down to me when I am neither a god nor a God.... "

when Arcane said like that Brian glanced at Hana with a confused look Hana also did the same thing and then Arcane then said back.

hearing that Brian ventured to look up and see Arcane.

"prince ham-"

before finishing his words Arcane instantly cut him off.

"..... hey do you think I really like the rumors that are circulating or the person who used to help you?

well even though I don't remember when that happened"

brian's eyes now widened because no matter when he started to go with the flow and believe the rumors that circulated, he then smiled shyly and slapped himself.

"plaque"

"what are you doing" said Arcane, who noticed Brian's behavior

"honey!?" said Hana who was worried for Brian.

but Brian instead laughed and said confidently while kneeling paying his respects.

"haha.....

really I don't know why I'm even following the flow of slander about you prince"

Hana was also astonished by this situation but she still did not dare to be disrespectful, then Arcane again said.

"Then why are you still on your knees? you are not my subordinate so there is no need to kneel! stand up...."

but instead of standing up Brian even saluted and said with confidence.

"prince servant please make the servant one of your followers, I believe I can be useful to you"

Arcane glanced at Brian then said with a flat look.

"if you want to talk to me like that you have to stand up and sit in front of me first and then look at me instead of the floor"

Brian is confused by Arcane's words, isn't the way to ask something to a person of higher status should be like this? arcane has the blood of a noble.

confusion also struck Hana although she could understand the situation but she did not know why her husband wanted to follow the person in front of her, and honestly he also believed what the public said about the 3rd prince.

Brian hesitantly stood up and sat down in front of Arcane he then looked at Arcane with a hint of fear for being disrespectful.

then their views meet, Brian starts to get a little nervous while Arcane's views get sharper and sharper.

a moment later Arcane smiled and said.

"don't be nervous like that I do things differently when I lift someone up, and when I see you it seems like I can accept you"

finished talking Arcane instantly stretched out his hand, Brian smiled he was still nervous in Arcane's way and subconsciously he also grabbed Arcane's hand and shook his.

"i thought you were the one I worked with, and now tell me in detail about this gambling place and what you call 'we', you must also have someone working with you.

Brian is now starting to be relieved and he also talked about the business he has.

as the previous explanation of his business is a public gambling place besides that this place also offers VIP gambling rooms and private rooms to make transactions.

this gambling place is also usually used to make transactions between various groups, and why this place is an option because Brian himself announced that whatever is in this gambling place will be forever hidden.

brian's words proved to be true because every time an officer came to look for clues about any transaction that occurred in this place they would only reach a dead end.

that's because they will mix various information, so investigators will get information about the wrong person or even false information.

and the Kingdom cannot arbitrarily close this place because this place has been protected by groups that receive benefits.

then Brian also explained what he did as 'them'.

"prince is actually unknowingly you help and help those who are in a decision even though no one knows.

they secretly band together and form a group called the dead bath"
