"I hit you because you deserved it!"
Jiang Yi shrugged. "If you're not convinced, you can hit back, but that depends on whether you have the ability!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tian's face turned green with anger.
He knew Jiang Yi's skills well. If he were to fight Jiang Yi, he would only end up getting beaten.
"Jiang Yi, how can you cause trouble in a situation like this!"
Lord Barrage frowned and spoke to Jiang Yi.
"It's not that I wanted to cause trouble, but Jiang Tian looks so punchable that I couldn't help myself and gave him a slap!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
These words greatly angered Lord Barrage.
"Prince Matthew, you must uphold justice for me! It's fine if I get beaten, but his actions clearly show disrespect towards you, Prince Matthew. Such a person must be taught a lesson!"
Jiang Tian said to Prince Matthew with a wronged expression.
"Jiang Yi, you have indeed gone too far!"
Prince Matthew's face showed anger.
The faces of the other nobles were also filled with anger.
In their eyes, Jiang Yi's actions were not only disrespectful to Prince Matthew but also to them.
For the nobility, they always considered themselves superior.
They advocated for equality, but in their minds, they were always above it.
Whether it was Jiang Yi, Jiang Tian, or Song Quan, they were always inferior in their eyes.
Therefore, Jiang Yi and the others were naturally like playthings in their view.
"Guards, seize Jiang Yi!"
Prince Matthew shouted furiously.
"Yes!"
Several armored guards responded and walked towards Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly. In this situation, he could only take action!
Jiang Yi never sat idly by and waited for death. No matter who the other party was, a prince or anyone else, reasoning was useless in such a situation. It was a matter of who had the stronger fist.
"Wait!"
Lord Barrage shouted to the armored guards and then, frowning, said to Prince Matthew, "Prince Matthew, only Jiang Yi can cure your illness. If you kill Jiang Yi, no one will be able to treat you!"
"There is already someone who can cure my illness. Keeping him is useless!"
"He dared to commit violence in front of me. If I don't punish him, won't I, as Prince, become a laughingstock throughout the Eagle Kingdom!"
Prince Matthew said angrily.
"In that case, please allow me to handle him, Prince Matthew!"
"After all, I was the one who brought him to treat you. It would be more appropriate for me to handle him. I hope you agree!"
Lord Barrage said helplessly.
"Alright, then I will hand him over to you for punishment!"
Prince Matthew agreed.
"Thank you, Prince Matthew!"
Lord Barrage said with great respect.
Then, Lord Barrage frowned and walked towards Jiang Yi.
"Let's go, why are you standing there?"
Lord Barrage said, looking at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi shrugged and followed Lord Barrage out of the hall.
Natasha saw this and quickly followed.
"Why are you following?"
Lord Barrage frowned and said, "I will handle this matter. Don't interfere!"
"Father, you can't harm my teacher!"
"If you want to kill my teacher, then kill me first!"
Natasha stood in front of Jiang Yi.
"Nonsense!"
Lord Barrage reprimanded her angrily.
"I'm not being nonsensical. He is my teacher, and I cannot stand by and watch him be killed. If you lay a hand on my teacher, I will never speak to you again!"
Natasha said coldly.
"Natasha, it is Prince Matthew who wants his life. What can I do? If I let him go, you, I, and everyone in the family will have no chance of survival!"
"I must punish him!"
Lord Barrage had no intention of letting Jiang Yi go.
Natasha's face was filled with anxiety, but she was helpless.
"Jiang Yi, I asked Prince Matthew to hand you over to me for punishment just now because I wanted you to have a quick death and avoid suffering. I had no other choice!"
Lord Barrage took a deep breath.
Jiang Yi was stunned. He hadn't expected Lord Barrage to be serious.
It seemed that Lord Barrage intended to act against him to protect himself.
This ungrateful old scoundrel.
"If you make a move on me now, you will regret it!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"What do you mean?"
Lord Barrage asked.
"The reason I acted against Jiang Tian just now, besides my dislike for him, was for another purpose!"
Jiang Yi said.
"What purpose?"
Lord Barrage showed a hint of confusion. He didn't know what Jiang Yi was up to.
"I wanted Song Quan, who was invited by Jiang Tian, to treat Prince Matthew first. Song Quan cannot cure Prince Matthew at all. By then, Prince Matthew will have to rely on me for treatment. After I cure his strange illness, he will be even more grateful to me!"
"To be honest, I also want to rise in status through Prince Matthew!"
Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lord Barrage was stunned.
"You mean, Song Quan cannot cure Prince Matthew's illness?"
Lord Barrage asked.
"That's right. Apart from me, no one else can cure Prince Matthew's illness!"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Lord Barrage's expression became grave.
"I need to make Prince Matthew beg me to treat him so that I can be in a dominant position!"
Jiang Yi chuckled.
"Alright, you brat! You're even scheming against Prince Matthew. Do you know that you were playing with your life just now? Prince Matthew could take your life at any moment!"
Lord Barrage felt like he had also been tricked by Jiang Yi.
"I had no choice. Prince Matthew seems like a heartless and ungrateful person. Even if I cure him, he will at most give me some money as a reward, and what I need is not money!"
"I must make him realize that only I can cure him. That way, I can obtain more of what I desire!"
Jiang Yi's lips curved upwards.
"You are right. Prince Matthew is indeed a heartless and ungrateful person. Even if you cure him, he won't be truly grateful. He'll just dismiss you with a bit of money!"
Lord Barrage took a deep breath.
"Lord Barrage, if we work together, you can also benefit significantly!"
Jiang Yi looked at Lord Barrage.
"Fine, then I'll trust you this time!"
Lord Barrage said to Jiang Yi, then looked at the armored guards behind him.
"You will keep an eye on Jiang Yi here. If Song Quan cures Prince Matthew later, then you will execute him. If Song Quan cannot cure him, then you will release him!"
"Yes!"
The armored guards responded in unison.
"Jiang Yi, you're on your own!"
Lord Barrage said, then walked directly into the hall.
