1085 Just a Misunderstanding
Under Sierra’s lead, ten minutes later, Chu Nan finally saw Earl Viscanin in the huge building that looked like a palace.
Chu Nan was certain that he had never seen this Earl before. He had even first learned of his existence from Sierra two hours ago.
However, when he saw Chu Nan, Earl Viscanin was very enthusiastic. His enthusiasm even exceeded his imagination.
Seeing Chu Nan enter the hall, Earl Viscanin actually took the initiative to stand up. Although he did not directly welcome him, he still took the initiative to reach out to him. At the same time, he had a warm smile on his face and an amiable appearance that made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
Chu Nan was puzzled, but his expression did not change. He did not choose to shake hands with Earl Viscanin. Instead, he stopped at a distance and bowed slightly.
Seeing Chu Nan’s reaction, Earl Viscanin was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at him deeply and put down his hand before gesturing to him.
“Please sit.”
Chu Nan found a seat not far away from Earl Viscanin and sat down. Then, he raised his head to look at him again and carefully sized him up.
From his appearance, this Earl of the Declan Empire should be close to 50 years old this year. Although he clearly had not cultivated martial techniques for a long time, so he displayed all kinds of signs of age that middle-aged people should have like ordinary people, because he had taken good care of himself, regardless of whether it was his face or mental state, he looked very good. He looked noble and dignified, but there was no lack of affinity. It could be said that he was a very standard old “noble of the Declan Empire”.
If one looked carefully, his appearance, especially his facial features, was a little similar to Cardale’s, causing Chu Nan to further confirm his identity.
After sizing each other up for a moment, Earl Viscanin spoke first.
“Chu Nan, I heard from Sierra that you took the initiative to see me?”
“Yes, Earl.” Chu Nan nodded lightly, “Do you know what the first thought in my mind was when I saw Miss Cardale?”
“Oh? Don’t you think Cardale is beautiful?”
“No, thinking that Miss Cardale is beautiful is only natural praise. In fact, my first thought is a question.” At this point, Chu Nan looked straight into the eyes of Earl Viscanin, “What kind of family can teach an outstanding figure like Miss Cardale?”
Earl Viscanin’s eyes moved slightly, and the smile on his face faded slightly.
How could he not hear the mockery in Chu Nan’s words? However, since he did not say it explicitly, he naturally would not expose him.
The main reason why he agreed to meet Chu Nan and personally receive him was naturally because of the powerful strength he had displayed. The more direct reason was Supremacy Lampari’s evaluation of him.
He really wanted to see why this young martial artist who came from a completely unknown country like the Earth Federation was evaluated so highly by Supremacy Lampari.
Now that he had personally seen Chu Nan, he could not tell anything else, but this kid’s calmness after seeing him was very obvious.
This guy even dared to mock him in front of him!
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but Earl Viscanin still maintained a perfect smile. He nodded and said, “You’re indeed a very smart young man. You’re right. Cardale is my only daughter. Regarding the misunderstanding between her and you previously, as her father, I sincerely apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you can forgive her youth and rashness.”
“Misunderstanding?” Chu Nan smiled and shook his head, but he could not be bothered to continue dwelling on this problem.
His goal in taking the risk to come and see this Earl was not to blow this matter up.
Originally, when he saw that Cardale could actually use six high-level Void Break Martial Artists and a powerful third-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist to ambush him, he knew that it was impossible to take revenge under normal circumstances.
Later on, when Sierra appeared and he knew the existence of this Earl, he knew even better that it was best for him to temporarily give up on his thoughts of revenge.
Finding the daughter of an Earl to take revenge in the territory of the Declan Empire was not revenge. It was courting death. Chu Nan was not that stupid.
“Earl, I don’t have anything to forgive Miss Cardale because I’m not injured, right?” Chu Nan smiled, “However, I really want to understand a question. When did I offend Miss Cardale? If I don’t figure this out, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to sleep or eat in peace in the future. I’m worried that Miss Cardale will appear to find trouble with me at any time. This is probably not good for me, Miss Cardale, or even you, right?”
Earl Viscanin’s expression immediately changed slightly.
Of course, he had completely understood the cause of this entire matter.
However, he could not tell Chu Nan that the reason why Cardale found trouble with him was only that Chu Nan’s performance in the beast tide test was too good. Therefore, he spoiled Sarkris’s mood and caused him to want to teach Chu Nan a lesson. Later on, he even convinced Cardale to deliberately set a trap to ambush him.
If he really said that, not to mention whether Chu Nan would accept it, where would his reputation as Earl Viscanin go?
After thinking for a moment, Earl Viscanin revealed an awkward smile. He coughed lightly and replied, “This… is indeed only a misunderstanding. In the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition you participated in, weren’t there a few representatives sent by our Declan Empire? One of them was a good friend of Cardale, but he was defeated and injured by you in the competition. The reason why Cardale found trouble with you was only to take revenge for this friend. She doesn’t have any other intentions.”
“Is that so?” Chu Nan nodded lightly and nodded to show that he understood.
Of course, he would not believe the nonsense of Earl Viscanin.
What did he mean by injuring the representative of the participating students sent by the Declan Empire? What a joke. In the seven competitions he participated in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition, no opponent was from the Declan Empire!
However, Chu Nan could not be bothered to expose Earl Viscanin’s lie. Since he had put on such an attitude, it proved that he also had the intention to reconcile. This was already very rare for an Earl of the Declan Empire. It could even be said that he was humble.
Of course, Chu Nan knew why Earl Viscanin had such an attitude. The reason was very simple. Clearly, it was because of the strength he had displayed.
If Chu Nan had not defeated the people who had ambushed him that Cardale had prepared, or if he had not defeated Sierra, he was certain that he would definitely not have the chance to see Earl Viscanin, let alone let him talk to him so amiably.
In fact… he might even be a dead man now.
Therefore, in the end, strength was everything in this world, especially in a country like the Declan Empire that had always advocated personal strength.
