Chapter 592: Someone Who Don’t Kick People When They Are Down



Those who were seeing Ethan for the first time couldn\'t help but observe him carefully. At first, they thought that he was just an ordinary teenager who would suddenly get cold feet after being stared at by hundreds of people.

Contrary to their expectations, Ethan\'s steps were firm, and there were no signs of anxiety in his actions.

This impressed some of the representatives from the four kingdoms of the Shire Continent.

"Sit here, Ethan," Professor Rinehart said as he pointed at the seat beside him.

Ethan nodded and took his place between Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret.

They were seated at the center of the Conference Room, with everyone surrounding them from all sides.

The King of Men, Beastkin, and Dwarves looked at him with solemn expressions on their faces.

The Queen of Elves and the Queen of Fairies, on the other hand, looked at the young man with a smile.

They were the leaders of each race, and they had traveled thousands of miles just to see him.

Everyone came for one purpose, and one purpose only.

To discuss the information that Ethan received from the Fomorians and the threat they posed to their Domains.

"I know that some of you came here for reasons that are known only to you," Professor Rinehart said. "So, before we start the conference, Ethan is willing to answer any question that is unrelated to the Fomorians. However, the questions must be important and of relevance. Raise your hand if you want your voices to be heard."

Ethan knew that there would be inquiries that he wouldn\'t be able to escape from.

Putting this into consideration, he asked Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret to allow others to question him before the matter of the Fomorians was discussed.

He also understood that his proposal might not change the minds of those who hated him.

But it was also a good way to let the rest of the people gathered here learn the truth and later disseminate the facts among the masses. That way, they wouldn\'t be led by the nose by those who planned to control any and all information related to him.

Just as he expected, dozens of hands rose up, and one of them was Zack Kerr\'s, making King Austen, as well as Professor Rinehart, frown.

But since the one who would have the power to choose whose question he wanted to answer was Ethan, they didn\'t make any move and simply waited for the question and answer session to unfold.

"Zack Kerr, you may ask your question," Ethan said calmly.

His first choice made Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret glance at him, caught off guard by Ethan\'s boldness.

Neither of them knew that Ethan knew who Langston\'s father was, but after seeing how calm he was, they realized that he might have a plan in mind.

"I came here to ask whether you are truly the one who is in full control of your consciousness?" Zack Kerr said. "Those who have let their greed get the better of them in the past have tried to obtain the powers of an Epic Legacy.

"But instead of controlling this power, the power controlled them, turning them into beasts that threatened the safety of the Shire Continent. I am only worried that you are no longer the promising young man who I knew and is now merely a puppet of Queen Celestia, who once tried to drown this continent and kill all lives on it.

"Ethan Gremory, are you really the one in control of your power, or is it controlling you? Also, can you give us a justification as to why you chose to greedily take the Epic Legacy instead of destroying it, which was what everyone agreed to do before entering the Legacy Domain?"

Ethan smiled after listening to the middle-aged man\'s lengthy question. He had tried his best to look as if he was someone who truly cared about Ethan, and he even looked remorseful for the loss of such a talented individual.

Of course, everyone who knew Zack Kerr understood that this was merely a ploy to drag Ethan down to despair and then let the leaders of Eastshire put a leash on his head.

"To answer the question, I am indeed in full control of Queen Celestia\'s power," Ethan replied. "When I came inside the Legacy Domain, my original plan was to destroy the Legacy Tome. But things happened, preventing me from doing that."

"Isn\'t it because you just became greedy for power?" Zack Kerr interjected. "The allure of power can easily make someone stray off the right path. I\'m saddened to hear that even someone like you failed to resist the temptation."

Ethan smiled before answering the question.

"I find it very amusing that someone who has had his Noble Rank stripped from him due to greed and hunger for power is willing to play the clown in front of everyone in the conference for our entertainment," Ethan chuckled. "You even had the audacity to target my family to try and use them as bargaining chips to put me under your control.

"Of course, what I am saying are facts. The Magistratus have already confirmed it. You were even given the chance to prove them wrong by undergoing their inquiry, but you knew that you had too many skeletons in your closet.

"I find His Majesty, King Austen, too kind. Imagine raising a snake like you in his backyard? If it were me, not only would I have demoted that person\'s rank, I would have sent him into exile.

"But I\'m not someone who likes to rub the salt in someone\'s wounds or kick them while they are down. I advise you to reflect on your actions and to not be too greedy for power.

"Otherwise, I might personally ask for an inquisition from the Magistratus and have you put through a very thorough investigation on the grounds of putting a bounty over my and my family\'s head. By the way, I still haven\'t asked you for compensation regarding that matter.

"I will file this case with the Magical Bureau right after this conference ends. Please, make sure not to run away when they come to ask you for your testimony, okay? My Grandma gets scared easily, so you will have to compensate her for her mental health as well."

A minute of silence passed before a chuckle was heard inside the Conference Room.

The Queen of Fairies held her belly as she laughed, sounding similar to the resonation of pealing bells.

"You said that you don\'t like to kick someone when they are down. But look at you making this ugly human look uglier in the eyes of everyone here," the Fairy Queen said. "We came here to talk about important matters, not listen to your petty power struggles. Can someone kick this clown out of this place? I don\'t want to laugh all day."

"I agree," the Elven Queen, who always took the side of the Fairy Queen in regards to matters of importance, stated. "I didn\'t come here to hear the politics of the Kingdom of Eastshire. If you want to talk about these things, talk about it somewhere else. We\'re not here to listen to the ramblings of a monkey."

"Hey! I take offense to that!" the Leader of the Monkey Beastkin protested.

"I\'m sorry," The Queen of the Elves apologized, which surprised everyone. "Calling him a monkey is an insult to you Beastkins. I apologize for my lack of tack."

"Apology accepted," the Monkey Beastkin replied. "I know a scummy Human when I see one. And this guy is truly scummy."

"I vote that this person be kicked out of the Conference Room," Seff said with his arms crossed over his chest. "I don\'t want to waste my time listening to scum."

"I second it!" the Fairy Queen raised her hand.

"I agree to this proposal," the Elven Queen stated.

The Dwarf King remained silent, while King Austen sighed and glanced in Zack Kerr\'s direction.

"Get out," King Austen ordered. "Or I will demote your rank once more."

Back then, the King of Eastshire didn\'t dare to directly antagonize the Nobles of his Kingdom. Zack Kerr and his faction had held considerable power, and if he dealt with them without a plan, the chances of a backlash were high.

But things were different now.

The moral high ground had shifted to his side, and he had the support of the populace of the Kingdom.

Not only that, but the Magistratus, which had always taken a neutral stance in the affairs of the Kingdom, had actively dealt a blow to Zack Kerr\'s faction, with some of their men being sent to prison.

Because of this, the power that their faction had built up over the years crumbled. King Austen naturally took advantage of this vulnerability and went in for the kill.

Not only did he demote Zack Kerr of his rank, he also confiscated his lands and other properties.

The King did the same thing to the Nobles belonging to his faction, and thanks to this, they no longer posed a serious threat to his rule.

In fact, in order to save what remained of their honor and dignity, the Nobles he punished pledged their full support to the King, forcing others to do the same.

Lord Edmond handled the aftermath, and he made sure that none of these Nobles would be able to defy the Royal Family again.

Jeers, booing, and laughter, reverberated in the Conference Room, making Zack Kerr turn pale.

He thought that he would be able to put Ethan in his place by accusing him right in front of everyone, but the young man reversed the accusation to him, making him the laughing stock of everyone in the conference room.

Left with no choice, he left with a beet-red face out of shame and embarrassment.

Ethan knew that there were other people like Zack Kerr inside the room, so he made him an example of what might happen if people were to attack him.

Perhaps, knowing that the same thing might happen to them, the people who wanted to accuse him no longer asked him any questions.

Those who did didn\'t tackle the topic about him acquiring the Epic Legacy from Queen Celestia.

Once the question and answer portion was over, he finally brought up the real topic of the discussion, which were the plans of the Fomorians.

"More than a month ago, the Fomorians managed to step foot on the Shire Continent," Ethan stated, which made everyone inside the room turn silent. "They were the scouts who were sent here for two reasons.

"The first reason was to see if the Firbolgs and their descendants were thriving in the Shire Continent."

Ethan paused for a bit before saying the second reason.

"The second reason, which is their main purpose for coming to the Shire Continent, is to find one of the ancient treasures that was passed to the Firbolgs by the Tuatha De Danann.

"It was none other than Lia Fail, or better known as the Stone of Destiny. The Fomorians are looking for it so that they can elect a King, the one who will lead their forces and allow them to rise to the surface world once again."
