Because this was a public place, Regner did not use all his strength in this punch. But even so, the muffled sound when his fist collided with Harsen's face still attracted the attention of many people.
Halson took a few steps back, stretched out his left hand and gently tapped the corner of his mouth. The place was burning and painful, and a salty liquid gradually spread in his mouth.
"Bah!" Halson spit out a mouthful of blood-streaked saliva, and then pretended to be very innocent and asked: "I don't know, Mr. Regnar, why on earth did you hit me?"
"You deserve a beating." In order to take care of Irene's mood, Regnar could only explain it simply.
"Can I take this as your provocation against me?" Halson's eyes began to turn cold. He knew that he had successfully angered Regnar, so now it should be a public slap in the face that he loved to see.
"I'm not low enough to provoke a loser like you!" Regnar still didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so he coldly said this and prepared to leave here with Irene.
Halson looked at Regner's back, and then slowly took off his leather gloves. He glanced at everyone who came to watch, and then said: "I think everyone has seen it."
After Halson finished speaking, he threw his gloves to the back of Erin's head. Among nobles, throwing gloves meant inviting a duel. But Halson did not throw the glove to Regnar, but threw it to Irene, because he knew that this would be a greater insult to Regnar, and also, this would increase the possibility of Regnar refusing the duel. Smaller.
"Hmm..." Irene couldn't help but scratch the back of her head after being hit by a leather glove. Although it didn't hurt when hit by a leather glove, it was somewhat inexplicable for the half-elf to be hit suddenly, so she turned around in confusion.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I threw it at the wrong person. Please forgive me." Halson said, taking off his other glove again, and this time he threw it in front of Irene's face.
Regnar's eyes flashed when he saw the second glove flying over. He turned his body slightly to one side to block Irene behind him, and then danced his hands twice at a speed that was difficult for others to detect. . So the glove that originally flew towards Irene's face turned into dozens of pieces of skin with no shape or rules.
Regnar slightly took out the fighting spirit from his hand, and then he delicately controlled his shadow fighting spirit to collect all the scraps of skin that were almost scattered in the air into his hand.
All the scraps of skin were held in Regnar's hands. He glanced at Halson coldly, and then said, "Isn't it just a duel? I'll accompany you."
"Oh, it looks like there will be more entertainment programs tonight, right?" Joffrey's voice rang from the outside of the crowd. After hearing this, the nobles stepped aside and gave way to the eldest prince of the empire. the way.
"Good evening, His Highness Joffrey." Halson bowed quickly when he saw Joffrey. His father was one of the strongest henchmen of the Imperial Chancellor Alfred, and Alfred and Joffrey He has a close relationship with him, so Joffrey is naturally considered to be on his side.
"Hello, Halson." Joffrey smiled at Halson, then turned to look at Regnar, and asked knowingly: "What is going on?"
"It's nothing." Halson was quite capable of beating Zhu Bajie. He pretended to be very innocent and said, "I just wanted to invite the lady next to Lord Regnar to dance, but Lord Regnar seemed... hey-hey… "
"It's just a dance, Regnar, why are you so stingy?" Joffrey intervened like a good old man, but in fact even an idiot could see that he was speaking for Halson.
"Irene doesn't want to dance with him." Regnar said coldly, "I don't want Irene to dance with him either."
"I wonder if I can ask." Joffrey's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "What is the relationship between this Miss Irene and you?"
"..." Regnar was silenced by the sudden question. He understood how insidious Joffrey's question was. If he did not admit the relationship between Erin and him at this time, then this would undoubtedly break the half-elf's pure and fragile heart at that moment. But if he admits it now...
The entire Hawke Empire knew that the relationship between Annelotte and Regnar had always been ambiguous. If he now revealed his relationship with another woman in public, it would be a mistake. I'm afraid this matter will become more complicated.
Regnar thought for a while and finally made a decision. He raised his head and said loudly in front of everyone: "Her name is Irene, and she is my fiancée."
Wow!
The nobles immediately fell into an uproar when they heard what Regnar said. They gathered together in twos and threes and whispered about something. But no matter what they said, Regnar was sure that these guys definitely didn't say anything good about him.
"It's just her fiancée." Joffrey had obviously expected Regnar's answer, and he continued: "If you have to control your fiancée even when she dances with others, Regnar, don't you think your control is too lenient? That's it. Well, my father hasn’t come here yet, so you might as well let me make the decision on this matter today. You two will have a simple competition according to the previous regulations. As for the winner, you can... "
"I accept Halson's challenge, but I won't use Irene as any bargaining chip." Regnar interrupted Joffrey: "If we lose, just let him slap me in the face. Isn't this Is it what you want?"
Joffrey and Halson looked at each other, and Joffrey finally made the decision: "Yes, but I have a condition."
"tell me the story."
"In order to prevent too much damage, neither person is allowed to use grudges." Joffrey suggested sinisterly.
As someone who had had many frictions and collisions with Regnar, Joffrey naturally knew how strong Regnar was. Although that Harson is also a high-level warrior, if he faces Regnar who becomes serious, he will only be beaten while hanging.
But if the fighting spirit is closed, everything will be different. Because Harson is a warrior known for his strength, his physical fitness is undoubtedly much better than Regner's. Moreover, once an assassin loses his fighting spirit, the sharpness of his attack will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. In this way, Halson is still very confident of defeating Regnar.
"Okay." Regnar agreed very simply. He was really annoyed by this guy who jumped out of nowhere today. At this time, Regnar was also angry, so he said regardless of the situation. : "But I also want to add one more thing. If I win, I will slap both of you!"
This time, it was Joffrey's turn to hesitate. Although he had tried his best to create an advantageous environment for Harson, he himself could not guarantee whether Harson could win. If he really loses, it will be ugly to both of them...
"What? Don't you dare?" Regnar sneered.
"Since the other party doesn't dare to do this, sir, how about letting your subordinates do it for you?" A steady male voice sounded behind Regnar.
Regnar turned around unexpectedly. When he saw the person who spoke, he couldn't help but froze as if he had been struck by lightning.
As the director of the Military Intelligence Division, Regnar would naturally remember the faces and names of all the Military Intelligence agents operating in Merindel. However, he had never seen the person in front of him who called him "Sir".
It was an uncle who looked to be about forty years old. He has short black hair similar to Regnar's. Although he now has a rather wild beard, it can be seen from his facial features alone that this man must have been a delicate and delicate young man back then.
But no matter what, Regner was sure that he had never seen this face before. This guy is definitely not from the Military Intelligence Agency.
"Who exactly is he?" Such a question popped up in Regnar's mind.
The man seemed to notice the doubts in Regnar's heart, so he blinked his eyes, revealing a look that was extremely familiar to Regnar.
Therefore, Regnar was stunned because of this look.
"How is it, sir?" The man lowered his head and asked respectfully.
Regnar fell into hesitation and struggle. He looked at the man, and then found that the man was also looking at him with a pair of dark eyes. The look was still the same as before, which made Regnar's heart twitch from the deepest part of his soul.
So Regnar nodded: "Okay."
He turned to Joffrey and Halson and said: "Forget it if you are afraid of me. Could it be that you are also afraid of an assassin under our Military Intelligence Department? Halson?"
"Then, please wash your face for a while." Halson looked at the man and nodded. Although the matter this time was somewhat changed due to the sudden intervention of Joffrey and this man, as long as he could slap Regnar twice, Halson would not mind if the matter develops elsewhere.
As for that Erin…
Halson glanced greedily at Irene who was timidly hiding behind Regna, and then thought about how to deal with this little bitch who liked to pretend to be innocent and pretend to be pitiful tonight.
"Then, come with me. Let's find a relatively open place." Joffrey had no objection. He waved his hand and motioned for others to make way.
"Why are you here?" Regnar took the opportunity to ask the man while following Joffrey to find a suitable duel venue.
"I said I missed you, do you believe it?"
"Damn it! There are northerners everywhere here. Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you at this time?" Regnar asked in a broken voice.
"You won't catch me, I believe you." The man smiled.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Regnar asked helplessly in a low voice, "No. 1?"
