My Maids Are All Antagonists!

Chapter 140: Attack!

Ron’s sudden breakthrough caused some changes in the situation on the field.

Looking at Ron who was in front of him, John’s pupils constricted slightly. He stepped back slightly, though his expression did not change.

That was because although he could feel the active fluctuation of combat aura around Ron’s body, Ron didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking him.

“Ron, although you’ve broken through, the mission this time was issued by the Family Head. Are you trying to stop us from carrying out the mission?”

Facing the current Ron, even if the other party had no intention of attacking, John still unconsciously lowered his status.

He wanted to use the order of Family Head Lowe to suppress the other party.

However, after breaking through, not once did Ron look at John, as if the red-haired knight was no longer worth his time.

His gaze focused directly on Alan, the leader of this group of people.

“I’m not stopping the mission, but I want these people alive. Your goal is only the formula, not their lives, isn’t it?”

Ron looked indifferently at Alan, who was not far away.

At this moment, he felt that his entire body was filled with power.

If he only had a 60% chance to defeat John in a fight in the past, now, he had a 90% chance of winning.

And this probability was under the premise that he was still not very familiar with his new strength.

He believed that when his realm stabilized, he would be able to easily defeat John.

In the past few years when he had trained in the kingdom’s Knight Corps, Ron had built a firm foundation for his cultivation.

It would not be a problem for him to deal with John.

This was also why he dared to make demands with Alan.

Alan’s face was already a little distorted at the moment.

A perfectly normal and simple mission had suddenly become tricky because of this variable, Ron.

He had brought Ron along intending to humiliate the other party.

If he knew this would’ve happened, it would’ve been better if he did not bring him along in the first place!

However, Alan’s tone was very harsh and he did not take the other party seriously.

You just broke through a few minutes ago, why are you so arrogant?

“Ron, there are two tier-6’s on my side, and you’re alone. Yet you want to command us? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?”

Alan’s tone was unyielding at this moment. It was obvious that he was not as relaxed as he was at the beginning.

He had the confidence to crush a tier 5 knight, but he did not have the confidence to crush a tier 6 knight.

Once a tier 6 knight got close to him, it would not be an easy matter for him to defeat the knight, there might even be big trouble.

Alan naturally did not want to let himself get hurt at such a timing.

Nobody knew if the Prince would crazily take revenge on them if he learned that they had snatched the formula when they returned to the Imperial Capital.

It was not wise to fight among themselves now.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of the other party, it was because that was indeed the case.

That was why he had said Jack was on his side in an attempt to use two tier-6 powerhouses to make the other party cower.

However, Alan might have misjudged Ron, and also Jack.

As a tier 6 knight, Jack naturally knew what it meant to become a tier 6 at the age of a teenager.

He was certain that Ron would be able to advance to become an advanced knight for sure!

This was Jack’s judgment of Ron.

As long as Ron could continue to grow like he was doing now, it was only a matter of time before he became an advanced knight.

It was a different story for himself though.

He was already in his forties, and if he couldn’t break through even when he was in the prime of his life, then it would be hopeless for him to advance any further if he didn’t have any fortuitous encounters in his life.

Although Alan had also become a tier 6 mage but compared to a tier 6 knight who was in his teens, his rarity was still a little lacking.

This made Jack, the old fox, immediately have other thoughts.

After Alan said those words, he immediately replied, “Young master Alan, our most important task now is to get the formula. We can put aside the matter of young master Ron for the time being.”

After hearing Jack’s answer, Alan looked at Jack in surprise.

This was the first time Jack had refuted his words.

Although they kept saying that the mission was the priority, everyone knew that if that was really the case, it meant that the situation was out of hand.

On top of that, Alan also noticed that Jack’s way of addressing Ron had changed.

Previously, Jack had addressed Ron as simply Ron, but now it had become young master Ron!

Jack was seriously a fence-sitter!

Alan glared at Jack but did not say anything.

He and Ron were both at tier 6, thus in their argument, Jack seemed to have become the key to the balance between them, which was crucial for the mission.

He could not casually push Jack to the other party’s side.

Now, not only did he have to hold back his anger, but he also had to speak nicely.

Alan’s heart was filled with such grievance to the point it was almost unbearable.

Alan could not help but think, “just you wait, when I become an advanced mage, all of you will have to bear my wrath! Including Jack!”

Ron naturally did not know that Alan was now deeply regretting not burning him more ruthlessly.

He just wanted to protect Eddie and the others, or rather, he did not want to be Eddie’s enemy.

In the last battle he had fought together with Eddie, Eddie had conquered Ron’s heart.

He had always been called a genius, but no matter how much of a genius he was, not once did he ever think that a tier 1 mage would be able to defeat a tier 5 mage.

There were three stages between tier 1 and tier 5!

Only after that battle ended did Ron know if he was a genius, Eddie could be considered a genius among geniuses.

If he had to go against such a person, either he had to directly destroy the other party at the beginning, or he would be destroyed by the other party in the end.

One of the things that the people on the continent had learned from experience over these years was this: don’t provoke geniuses, especially geniuses among geniuses.

It was just that the people in his family always treated his words like shit.

He wondered if it was because the temptation of the formula was too great, or because of some other reason.

If it was possible, he still hoped to befriend this little noble.

This was also the biggest difference between him and Alan.

Alan was more ruthless and did not leave any leeway. If he could fight, then he would not do it the peaceful way. In his mindset, defeating or killing the other party would get things done.

Ron, on the other hand, had been thinking about how to cooperate with the other party. If it was not necessary, he would never consider killing the other party.

With these different mindsets, it showed that these two were born to be incompatible.

Just like that, the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly turned cold.

This made John, who was at the side, feel very awkward as he was ignored by Ron after he spoke.

It also made him somewhat angry.

However, facing Ron, who had already advanced to tier six, he didn’t dare to be presumptuous.

He could only vent his anger on the others.

His first choice was the maidservants who were standing there.

“What are you standing there for? Can’t you see that we’re all tired from standing around and waiting for you? Hand over the thing in your hand! Are you deaf? I’m talking to you, shortie! Don’t look at others!”

John started to scold Thor crazily.

Although it didn’t look good to bully a maidservant, it was perfect for him to vent his anger.

In the team, although Lisa was only at tier 4, she was a rare water element healer and was also involved with the Holy Sect, thus her actual status was even on par with Family Head Lowe.

He did not dare to lose his temper at Lisa, so he naturally had to vent his anger on the maidservants.

However, just as John finished his sentence, a rapid air-whistling sound appeared in front of John.

Before John could react, the force instantly struck him!!
