Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 339 - 165: The Incubus Absolutely Does Not Permit Enduring the Under-Knight Humiliation (10.4K, 54/76)_6

"In this regard, although Count Rezhe’s method was equally rough, the first thing he intended to do when mentioning the actions of the magnates was to find their crime evidence.

Hang them on street lamps or chop off their heads, then publish their death photos in newspapers to every magnate, so that the successors would clearly recognize the wrongness of their actions.

Tell them that the only reason they had not been judged was that the scythe of judgment had not yet struck their heads.

If you really want to rectify those guys, what you need is not to crush them, much less have both sides come together to point fingers at me.

Instead, create a sufficiently clear law that everyone can believe in, set clear product standards, and do not let a bunch of outsiders set the standards while attempting to restrict those who actually do the work through a non-existent authority.

You are no different from them, just a group of wolves clad in human skin."

Hearing Kael’s veiled criticism, Earl Campbell knocked his cane. Although dissatisfied, he was somewhat convinced by Kael’s reasoning in his heart.

But he still felt an overwhelming fury spreading in his heart, fundamentally denying his political propositions.

Even though there was some vague acknowledgment in his heart, Earl Campbell knew that admitting it in front of Kael would cost him his bid for the Duke’s position.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, repeatedly striking the floor with his cane, the sound becoming louder each time. Eventually, he snorted coldly and changed the topic, saying,

"At least their products have undergone trials by professionals and commoners. Your product’s development time is too short, not tested extensively. Who can guarantee the Three Magic Potions from Lancaster won’t have problems?"

Kael sneered and, under Elanna’s gaze, walked straight to a shelf selling the Three Magic Potions, took down three bottles, and directly unscrewed the caps, drinking them all in one go.

It seemed he wanted to prove to Earl Campbell that he dared to drink his own developed magic potion, verifying there was no problem with the potions themselves.

Earl Campbell also thought so. When he saw Kael walking toward him, he was about to retort, "Who knows what changes these potions will cause in your body."

Or "You have Incubus blood. How can you guarantee that potions safe for Incubi are also safe for Humans."

But Kael’s next move shocked Elanna, the employees selling goods in the chamber, and the curious customers walking in.

"Ah!!!" Earl Campbell suddenly screamed, covering his left eye socket in pain.

It turned out that Kael had unexpectedly gouged out Earl Campbell’s left eyeball.

The roaring spell power permeated, condensing into a scarlet longsword in Earl Campbell’s hand, slashing toward Kael, but the next moment, a startling force descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the chamber.

Kael didn’t follow up with another attack, merely looking coldly at Earl Campbell, tossing the eyeball into the air, his tail suddenly flicking forward.

The open heart-shaped tail swallowed the eyeball like a hunting serpent.

With the small sphere on the tail slowly wriggling and finally entering Kael’s body, he showed a disgusting and disdainful expression, placing his hand on his stomach and saying with some annoyance,

"If someone falsely accuses my magic potion of being poisonous without evidence, I wouldn’t choose to cut open my stomach to prove my innocence.

I would gouge out his eye and swallow it, letting him see for himself in my stomach whether there is indeed a problem."

Earl Campbell stared coldly at Kael, but Kael merely shrugged, unmoved, as if he hadn’t just done anything.

He even smiled and conjured a giant scroll with a flash of light, throwing a divine spell at Earl Campbell.

Are you f**king kidding me?!

The infuriated Earl Campbell instinctively swung his spell-powered longsword to smash the beam of light.

He had never imagined that Kael would suddenly attack him in front of so many people, causing him to lose an eye without any defense.

Or rather, his long years in the Royal Capital had made him forget the fear of being threatened. With the Lion Heart Duke in the Royal Capital, as long as the Duke lived, he wouldn’t face true death.

Looking at Kael, who lightly licked the bloodied fingers, another biting coldness crawled from the soles of his feet to his head, the rage in his heart instantly disappearing, replaced by a strong sense of crisis and unease.

"Really, do you think, with the Lion Heart Duke protecting you, I would use an offensive divine spell on you?"

Kael placed his hand on his abdomen, laughing softly, "Just now was only so you can better see if the Three Magic Potions cause any problems in my body. Now, have you seen clearly?"

Despite the mild tone, Earl Campbell trembled, the sword in his hand formed by spell power flickering unstably.

He chose not to accept Kael’s divine spell treatment, instead taking out a potion from his space equipment and pouring it over his injured face.

As the smoke rose, his eyeball gradually regenerated, a wolfish gleam flashing in his eye, which remained fixed on Kael’s weak spot.

Finally, he revealed an unmasked sinister smile, saying,

"Fine, no wonder you are Baron Helois, so fond of brutal revenge. I admire you. Coincidentally, so am I."

He threw his blood-stained white glove at Kael’s feet, coldly saying,

"In that case, let us follow the tradition of the Ingalance Duchy and have a knight duel!"

Kael elegantly performed a noble bow, saying, "If this is your wish, anytime."

"I will limit my strength to the same Transcendent Tier Two as yours. Rest assured, I won’t play any tricks." Discover stories at NovelBin.Côm

"Listen to yourself, if you were as just and open as you claim, you wouldn’t be here in Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, pointing fingers in front of my loyal customers.

I reason with you, you talk character. I talk character, you discuss ideology. I discuss ideology, you tell me the reasoning is flawed."

Kael’s expression remained unchanged like he was looking at a dead man, saying,

"Oh? You say so much yet cannot simply drink three bottles of magic potion like me to prove if there’s an issue.

When I humor you, I argue a bit. When I don’t, Earl Campbell, who do you think you are to criticize me?"

Kael’s words dismantled the façade Earl Campbell had been trying to maintain.

Regardless of whether this guy’s words aligned with his thoughts, publicly criticizing the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce with his Noble Council and Earl status was undoubtedly an attempt to undermine the credibility of Lancaster’s products.

This world holds a particularly shameless tactic: in the process of doing something, ignoring the righteousness of the act, only assessing the person’s character or intentions behind the act.

If the character or motivation is suspect, regardless of the act’s outcome, it creates a narrative that "the result is flawed."

Clearly, Earl Campbell had mastered this tactic.

But unfortunately, this trick had long been overplayed in the Human Federation’s restroom app.
