Hail the King

Chapter 738: Chris Sutton (Part One)

The news about Imperial Martial Saint Alexander taking in [One Sword]’s only child, Luffy, as a disciple quickly spread around St. Petersburg, and the phrase, [One Sword] is innocent, was also passed to everyone’s ears.

The residents who had seen what happened at that execution ground where Fei appeared told everyone they knew about what they experienced and what their hypotheses were. Therefore, the story about how [One Sword] acted as the spy of the Empire and went undercover at the enemies also got spread around.

Under the purposeful push of the [Letter Office], the story about [One Sword] battling until death at Chambord City and killing a prince of Ormond was made known to people.

Therefore, [One Sword] turned from the biggest traitor in the history of Zenit to the most loyal and honorable warrior of Zenit just because of Fei’s words.

Even the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Royal Family of Zenit retracted their verdict on [One Sword]. Although they didn’t officially accept and promote the heroic stories about [One Sword] that were passed around in public, this simple retraction was enough to prove some points.

What surprised a lot of people was that Fei’s reputation and influence as the new Imperial Martial Saint didn’t decrease due to this incident. Instead, it was growing and taking on an upward trend.

The residence that the Xuelun Kingdom had in St. Petersburg was also being visited by a lot of people, and a lot of nobles waited in line to connect with them.

With a royal as the disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint, very few people dared to mess with the Xuelun Kingdom anymore.

...

-The second day-

Before noon, a black carriage that was pulled by horses slowly came out of the residence of the Xuelun Kingdom and traveled toward Martial Saint Mountain that was located in the middle of the City.

On the way, many people glanced at this carriage with envy and jealousy; they all knew that the little Prince Luffy of Xuelun was heading to Martial Saint Mountain to become the official disciple of Martial Saint Alexander. His luck was beyond disbelief!

Except for little Prince Luffy, there was his mom, Laura, and his grandparents in the carriage.

The journey was smooth, and they reached the foot of Martial Saint Mountain soon.

The people of Martial Saint Mountain were already waiting.

After Martial Saint Krasic died in battle, Martial Saint Mountain was under lockdown. Most of Krasic’s disciples followed Fei; they were all powerful and were great loyal subordinates. Fei placed most of them into the [Letter Office], but he kept a small number of them close by.

Now that Fei was the new Imperial Martial Saint, he reopened Martial Saint Mountain and called back a portion of Krasic’s disciples to maintain its operations.

The muscular young man who was waiting for Little Luffy was Matri, and he was one of the most talented disciples of Krasic. He was a Six-Star Warrior, and his strength grew by a lot after he started to follow Fei. Now, he was already at peak Eight-Star, and his long blond hair would flutter when he spoke with a smile on his handsome face.

After taking Luffy off the carriage, Matri said respectfully, “Luffy Your Highness, welcome to Martial Saint Mountain. Mr. Martial Saint is waiting for you. Laura Your Highness, you can also come to Martial Saint Mountain with Luffy His Highness and take care of him. King and Queen of Xuelun, please head back after saying goodbye to Luffy His Highness!”

Matri was respectful toward Luffy and Laura, but he was neutral toward the King and Queen of Xuelun.

Since Luffy was now Fei’s disciple, he was a young master of Martial Saint Mountain. That was why Matri was respectful toward him. As a member of Martial Saint Mountain, Matri didn’t really care about the king of an affiliated kingdom.

The pretty woman, Laura, was pleasantly surprised.

She thought that she wouldn’t be able to see her son for a long time from this point on, but the Martial Saint allowed her to be with her son, so they didn’t need to be separated.

However, the King of Xuelun was a little disappointed. He came with his grandson in hopes that he could go on Martial Saint Mountain and get closer to Fei. After hearing Matri’s words, he knew that this wasn’t possible.

Therefore, after greeting Matri and saying goodbye to Luffy and Laura reluctantly, he got back onto the carriage with his wife and left.

“Luffy Your Highness, please wait for a moment. There are a few more people who are here to visit Mr. Martial Saint today.”

After Matri led Luffy and Laura to a pavilion on the side, he went back to the square before Martial Saint Mountain and waited.

After a while, Luffy saw a handsome young man in golden armor coming to the square. After he spoke with Matri a little, he walked over with a smile on his face when Matri pointed in Luffy’s direction.

“You must be Little Luffy, right? I’m Chris Sutton from the Imperial Knight Palace. It is nice to meet you, Little Guy!”

After the self-introduction, this handsome young man patted Luffy’s head intimately.

He was the Golden Sun Knight, Chris Sutton. He battled alongside Fei and became the youngest Moon-Class Elite in the Zenit Empire.

He was here to visit the Martial Saint as well.

“Ah! Really? You are Brother Sutton who battled alongside my master?” With a thrilled expression on his face, he said in his childish tone, “I didn’t know that I will see you here today! I’m so happy!”

This little guy was great at complimenting people.

As a master of Zenit who battled alongside Fei, his temperament and courage stunned a lot of people.

In addition, he was already famous from before. His talent, handsome looks, and young age all added to his fame. Therefore, it wasn’t strange that Luffy, who admired all kinds of heroes and masters, had heard of him before.

On the side, Laura just learned Sutton’s real identity and quickly dragged Luffy who acted childishly as she bowed. “It is you, Mr. Execution Knight. We apologize for...”

“Please don’t be so polite with me, Your Highness,” Sutton quickly said as he stopped them, “Luffy His Highness is now a disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint. He is of prestigious status, and he shouldn’t bow to me.”

Sutton was a conceited character, and he had never acted this way toward someone who was younger than him. However, Luffy complimented him and was Fei’s disciple.

Even though there were grudges between Fei and him, all of those disappeared after the battle yesterday. Since Fei helped him advanced into the Moon-Class, he could be considered as Fei’s half-disciple. Therefore, Sutton and Luffy were technically senior brothers and junior brothers, so that was why Sutton was more intimate.

The three of them continued to wait; there were still a few more people coming to Martial Saint Mountain.

Sutton’s cultivation strength was on par with [One Sword] before that golden skeleton possessed the latter, and he was experienced and knowledgeable. Since he was fond of Luffy, he answered several of Luffy’s questions, and they were having a good time.

Laura just stood on the side and watched patiently with a smile on her face.

About ten more minutes passed, and a series of clip-clopping noises sounded.

Sutton turned around, and his face changed color.
