As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: I’m Off Duty!
Accompany him? !
Ace’s words made everyone freeze on the spot.
Since when had Monn and Her Highness the Saintess developed to such an extent?
The Holy Knights were shocked.
Bowen’s face turned green.
What would the Sixth Prince do when he heard this?
He was anxious.
But when he thought of what would happen to him if he did not bring the Saintess back, he could not help but shudder.
He could not care less. Seeing that they were getting further and further away, he hurriedly chased after them.
At the same time, his mind worked extremely fast.
He immediately thought of a solution.
Since the Saintess said that she wanted to be with the cardinal, why not invite the cardinal along?
Although doing so might cause the Sixth Prince to be unhappy, it was at least much better than the Saintess not going.
“Wait a minute, Saintess!”
Bowen hurriedly ran in front of them and said with rapid breathing, “Cardinal, His Highness the Sixth Prince invites you to go over.”
Although he was the one who made the decision on his own, everyone would be honor if they were invited by the Sixth Prince.
“I’ve already finished work. Please don’t disturb my private time.”
Monn’s footsteps did not stop as he passed Bowen. His lips moved slightly as he let out a cold voice.
Bowen was stunned.
He was ejected? !
Bowen was momentarily in a daze. He even thought that he heard it wrong.
But as he looked at the two figures that were getting further and further away, he immediately sobered up.
He did not hear it wrong. This cardinal actually dared to not give face to the Sixth Prince!
“How dare you!”
His old body began to tremble in anger.
He shouted with all his strength, “It’s your honor that the Sixth Prince invited you! It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but how dare you refuse it?!”
He waved his hand and ordered directly, “Smith! Bring this cardinal who has no sense of propriety to the Sixth Prince!”
He looked at Ace again with a disgusting smile. “Since Saintess is on a mission with this little cardinal, why don’t you come together?”
Ace ignored him.
Her eyes were filled with disgust and mockery towards his behavior.
She shook her head and sighed at their ignorance.
On the other side, Smith waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to take down Monn.
Just as they took a few steps forward, a row of holy knights suddenly stood in their way.
Smith was stunned for a moment, then he teased, “Oh? Are you sure you want to stop me?”
He was very confident in his top amethyst level strength.
A mere Holy Knight, he could take on as many as he wanted.
He did not even care about the cardinal.
He charged his attack.
Next second, the paladins who had been hit in the front all changed their expressions.
It was as painful as being hit by a wave.
Their bodies started to tremble uncontrollably.
The metal armors on their bodies also let out an ear-piercing collision sound because of their trembling.
However, not a single one of them retreated. All of them gritted their teeth and holding on, not taking a step back.
These days, the Cardinal Monn had become a sacred existence in their hearts.
Now, there was actually someone who wanted to assault the Cardinal Monn in front of them. How could they allow that!!
Smith let out a soft exclamation and then became furious. “You want to die? Then I’ll grant your wish!”
Smith pulled out the huge sword on his back with his right hand.
His muscles bulged, and pitch-black flames quickly wrapped around the entire sword.
With a power that seemed to be able to cut through mountains, he hacked down heavily.
He grinned hideously, as if he could see these knights being smashed into minced meat by his heavy sword.
Suddenly, two slender fingers appeared in Smith’s eyes.
Under his incredulous gaze, the fingers easily caught his mighty greatsword.
Even black flame that could burn everything, could not do anything to these two fingers.
The two fingers gently exerted force. Then a cracking sound was heard.
The powerful heavy sword in Smith’s hand broke in an instant.
Holding the broken heavy sword in his hand, he took a few steps back in a daze.
He finally saw the owner of the two fingers clearly.
It was the little cardinal that he did not care about.
Monn’s cold expression was reflected in his eyes.
Fear rose in his heart, and he shouted, “Holy… Holy Rank powerhouse!”
Only a Holy Rank powerhouse could easily block a blow from his peak Amethyst Level strength!
“No! Impossible!” Hearing Smith’s shout, Bowen’s face was filled with fear.
How could a mere cardinal have the strength of a Holy Rank warrior!
However, looking at the broken blade on the ground, he had no choice but to believe it.
At this moment, his body trembled like reed in the wind, fear filling his entire body.
Monn flicked his fingers, his expression was indifferent.
“Is the royal family all such stupid people?”
Prince Burton was the same last time, asking him to do some boring things in his private time.
This time, the Sixth Prince’s butler was the same.
All these things caused his patience to gradually wear down.
His eyes were cold, and he approached Smith step by step.
Smith was instantly terrified, and he quickly took a few steps back, shouting, “I am the Sixth Prince’s subordinate, you can’t hurt me!”
Monn ignored him and walked up to him.
He took his step slowly and emitted a threatening aura.
Seeing that the Sixth Prince’s reputation could not intimidate him, Smith gritted his teeth, and his expression became ferocious.
“You forced me to do this!”
He suddenly roared and the veins on his entire body bulged, igniting pitch-black flames.
He was like a dark knight from hell.
He clenched his fist, as if he had grasped something extraordinary.
His entire aura rose abruptly.
Even his strength, which had been at the peak of the Amethyst Rank, began to weaken, and he was about to reach the early stage of the Holy Rank.
He twisted his neck, and he became arrogant. The gaze he used to look at Monn also became fierce.
This was a temporary increase in his strength that he had obtained by burning his life force.
And this little red figure before him, which had caused him to expend his life force…
Smith would definitely not let him off!
When Bowen saw Smith’s body suddenly increase in size, his aged body instantly straightened up.
Before he could act arrogantly, Monn’s right hand lightly slapped him.
Boom!!
Smith, who was burning with pitch-black flames, was instantly sent flying, smashing the wall in the distance.
Falling into the pile of rubble, Smith began to doubt his life.
His entire body seemed to have fallen apart, and it was extremely sore.
His eyes gradually became hollow.
He had clearly used a forbidden spell to expend his own life force to raise his strength to the initial stage of the Holy Rank, but in the end, he was slapped away by that cardinal?
This was something he could not accept.
Monn lowered his right hand.
Although the slap was quite powerful, he had no intention of killing anyone.
At most, it could be considered a punishment.
He looked at the royal family members who were frightened and said coldly, “Don’t bother me when I’m off work in the future.”
After saying that, Monn turned around and left.
The royal family members stayed where they were, and no one dared to jump out again.
Seeing this, Ace hurriedly chased after him.
When Monn was far away, the royal family members finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Bowen even sat on the ground and almost peed his pants.
