Chapter 13 Conflict
When he saw the rough Hengling City again, Owen felt like he was reborn as a human being.

Three days ago, the children of ordinary nobles called their friends and friends, surrounded by a group of guards and mercenaries, and marched aggressively to the depths of Hengling.

Three days later, he came back alone, standing outside the north gate of Hengling City, lamenting to the sky alone.

The term "lonely" is a bit inaccurate, at least there is another person beside him, a very sturdy and mysterious boy.

Owen's cronies and followers have all entered the belly of the monster at this moment.Returning to Hengling City again, he didn't think about what to do for a while.Hearing that Anthony was going to the mercenary union to complete the mission, Owen, who had nowhere to go, naturally went with him.

Just arrived at the intersection in front of the mercenary union, and saw a large group of people walking towards them.Although the few people in front looked anxious and worried, they couldn't hide their majestic aura at all.Looking at their gorgeous and elegant clothes, they turned out to be a group of nobles.

"Father, why are you here?" Owen suddenly exclaimed.

It turned out that among the leading nobles, one of them was actually his father, the head of the Hilton family, Silvio Hilton.

When Silvio Hilton saw Owen suddenly, his face beamed with joy, then his face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice: "You little bastard, you dare to go to Hengling to explore without weighing yourself? Is that where you can go?"

Owen seemed to be very afraid of his father. Silvio Hilton reprimanded him, but he just lowered his head and didn't dare to vent his anger.

Silvio Hilton saw his son's pitiful appearance, and the clothes on his body were also tattered and covered with mud.He has suffered a lot in Hengling, so he couldn't help but soften his tone: "How is it? Is there any injury on your body? Let me see."

Owen shook his head and didn't speak.But I was cheering loudly in my heart: "Oye! Passed the test again."

"Nephew Owen, where is my Matthew now? How is he?" An old nobleman with gray hair and beard next to him, managed to find a chance, and quickly interjected.

"Nephew Owen, and my Pei Wen?"

"Nephew Owen, my family..."

A group of aristocratic masters put aside their family affairs, big and small, and rushed to this remote Hengling City in person, all in order to find their wayward young master.Seeing Owen, one of the members of the "adventure group", immediately surrounded him to inquire.

"This one……"

Owen suddenly felt that although he saved his life and avoided the bad luck of being buried in the belly of the beast, the trouble was far from over.Now he especially wanted to drag Matthew, who proposed to explore Hengling, out of the stomach of a monster, and then stuffed it back.

"Except for this young master, the sons of all of you old people are already dead, and even the bones will become the poop of monsters, and they will never be found again."

Is there any great poet who can teach me how to convey the above sentence in the most artistic, literary and acceptable way to the group of aristocrats who are eagerly looking forward to the answer.

It is obvious that even the greatest poets shrink back from this most intractable problem in the history of literature.As for Master Owen, he could only tell the truth honestly.

"What? Matthew is dead? How is this possible!" The bearded nobleman could not accept this fact as expected.

"Pei Wen died too..." More than one person couldn't accept the fact.

A group of aristocratic parents rushed to Hengling in a hurry. Unexpectedly, only three days later, they were separated from their beloved sons forever, and even the bones could not be found.This kind of grief made Owen and his son put aside the joy of reunion after the catastrophe, and comforted the nobles.

Suddenly, the painting style changed without warning.

"Why did everyone die, and you, Owen, escaped alone. In terms of strength, Matthew is a bronze novice, much stronger than you. He couldn't survive the disaster, but you were able to escape?" While mourning, the bearded nobleman suddenly came up with this idea for some reason.At this time, where are there any worries, just say what comes to mind.

Silvio Hilton's expression changed, and he shouted in a low voice, "Count Bearzot! What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Isn't that obvious?" The bearded Earl Bearzot had just popped this thought into his mind, and didn't think deeply about it.Now he suddenly realized that there was indeed a big doubt here.Why did those monsters let go of Owen who is weak?
The other nobles also put aside their mourning for their beloved son for the time being, and looked at Owen and his son thoughtfully.Obviously, the words of Earl Bearzot with the beard also aroused their suspicion.

Facing the doubts of many nobles, Owen's father also changed his face.Although the Hilton family is the leading businessman in the province of Edinburgh, their financial resources and strength are quite strong.But at the same time offending so many nobles, including two earls, he also felt a bit overwhelmed.

Owen is also well aware of the seriousness of the problem, and hastily explained: "As I explained just now, we entered the territory of a large group of Galewolves by mistake. We managed to get out of the siege, and more than half of the family guards were killed or killed, and almost everyone brought them to the territory. Later, I was targeted by a middle-level monster Lightning Leopard, and it used its speed to hunt down one by one. In the end, I was the only one left. At the critical moment, fortunately, Lord Anthony Bruce helped me to kill the Lightning Leopard. Scared away. Otherwise, I would have been killed by it long ago."

When explaining the adventure of the noble children for the first time, Owen only detailed the first half of the distress process, omitting the content of Anthony's rescue later.It is because Owen is worried that involving Anthony in this matter will cause trouble for the savior.

However, the current situation forced him not to tell the truth.Otherwise, it would be difficult for Owen to explain clearly how to safely escape from danger with his strength.

It's a pity that Owen's mind is quite good, but his experience in dealing with people is still far behind his father.He thought that as long as he told the truth, he would be able to win the trust of the nobles in front of him and eliminate their doubts about him.

But he didn't understand that sometimes the truth sounds more unbelievable than a lie.

"Anthony? Bruce 'Lord'? A mercenary?" This time it was another earl who questioned, Earl Brazilero.He looked at the mercenary badge on Anthony's chest and asked with disdain.

The badges issued by the mercenary union have obvious differences in appearance at different levels.Count Brazileiro could tell Anthony's mercenary level with a glance.

"Count Silvio, I think you need to give us an explanation." Another viscount said to Owen's father with an unkind expression.

"Perhaps, we can find another person to ask." The bearded Earl Bearzot said to a warrior behind him: "Mr. Alfredo, please have a good talk with this 'lord'. I think' Your lord would have a different opinion of the matter."

On the other side, Count Brazileiro also said to a fighter beside him: "Mr. Bernabeu, please also take action together. This 'lord' is carrying a burden, and he can fight in a very dangerous situation." A strong man who can come and go freely. I'm afraid he won't be willing to talk to us."

Then he turned his head and said apologetically to Alfredo who was about to do it, "Mr. Alfredo, you don't mind?"

Alfredo raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Of course not, my lord count."
