Seeing how respectful everyone was towards Li Xuan, the old Marquis was completely stunned.
Who is this person?
The blonde witch was submissive in front of him?
Doctor Balance didn't dare to say a word in front of him?
The terrifying Golden Palace follows you around like a loyal old dog?
Looking around the whole world, the old Marquis could not imagine anyone being able to do this.
But this scene actually happened in front of him, and there was no doubt about it.
The old Marquis took a deep breath and asked tremblingly: "Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"
Li Xuan did not speak.
Maggie said on his behalf: "Marquis Sebastian, your daughter has kidnapped one of our friends.
I need to see her right away, otherwise our friends will be wiped off the face of the earth."
The whole place was silent.
If someone had dared to say that before, no one would have taken it seriously.
Although the Sebastian family is no longer the powerful family it was hundreds of years ago, it still has a good social status, power and wealth in modern society, and cannot be bullied by just anyone.
But now, everyone took what Maggie said to heart.
They believed that if Maggie could say it, she could do it.
The old Marquis trembled all over and immediately shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Call quickly and find that prodigal woman!"
Alexander and August immediately took out their mobile phones, and everyone else also tried various methods, hoping to contact Juliet.
Time passed by second by second, and every second was like torture for the people of Sebastian's family.
No matter how hard they tried to contact her, Juliette just refused to answer the phone.
Finally, just as the five-minute limit was about to expire, the call was connected.
"Juliat, where are you?"
When Alexander dialed the phone, his voice was already trembling with excitement.
A string of voices came from the microphone. Alexander's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "She said she'll be there in a few minutes. The phone is almost out of battery. We'll talk about it when we get there."
At this point, the five-minute timer ends.
Hannah glanced at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan said calmly: "Wait."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited quietly.
The old Marquis blinked his eyes, plucked up the courage to raise his voice and said, "Don't you even want to state your name clearly?
After all, the Sebastian family is an ancient aristocracy of the Technetium Kingdom and has many relatives throughout Europe. Even the current royal families of the Eagle Kingdom are closely related to us by blood."
The implication of these words is very obvious. They are meant to remind Li Xuan that the Sebastian family is not fish on the chopping board and will not be slaughtered by others.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan did not respond.
The old Marquis gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so arrogant. Is there anything that is non-negotiable?
Even if Julia has offended your friend, the worst we can do is apologize and even make some compensation, so there’s no need to break up, right?"
What was a hint before is now a threat.
The subtext is: You have Tiangong as your backing. I admit that you are strong, but don’t think that our Sebastian family is easy to bully.
I'll take a step back now. Hello, I'm okay, everyone is okay, but if you are aggressive, don't blame me for being rude! Of course the old Marquis has the confidence.
He is afraid of Heavenly Palace, but the more reason is that he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
But the Heavenly Palace is not an invincible existence outside the law, and it also has its fears.
Once the Tiangong kills an old noble like Sebastian without any reason, causing fear and counterattack among the ancient aristocracy, even the Golden Palace may not be able to bear the consequences.
The old Marquis believed that his sensible analysis and soft yet hard threats could make the other party restrain themselves.
After all, no one would do something thankless.
Since it was just one of the other party's friends who was kidnapped by Juliette, it shouldn't be a big deal.
We don't have any big grievances, so why should we be so tense?
I'll give you some face and some compensation, so that big things can be reduced to trivial matters, trivial matters can be turned into trivial matters, and conflicts can be turned into friendship, so forget it.
The old Marquis felt that he had already spoken up to this point. If Li Xuan was a sensible person, he should have come down quickly while he had given him a step, so as not to make everyone look bad in the end.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuan still remained calm, as if he didn't understand the steps given by the old Marquis.
The old Marquis's face changed, even a little angry.
It's shameless to rely on the Heavenly Palace, right?
I want to see what you can do to me! At this moment, August came over and whispered: "Father, I just contacted the strong men of the wolf tribe, they will arrive soon!"
Wolf tribe! The old Marquis’s eyes lit up: “Auguste, are you talking about...the wolf tribe that swept across Europe recently?”
"That's right!"
August said.
The old Marquis suppressed the excitement in his heart: "I heard that they are the overlords of the European underground forces and control the underworld in Europe. You actually know them?"
August said proudly: "It was also by chance that I met several wolves.
Later, I often walked around with them and became familiar with them.
No matter how awesome the people in Tiangong are, they still have to listen to the wolves in this land of Europe!"
The old Marquis sneered and said: "I heard that behind the wolf clan stood a powerful man who uprooted all the Seven Deadly Sins and the Black Witch Cult that were rampant back then.
Even if Tiangong is arrogant, it is impossible for him to dare to compete with that person! Since you have invited the wolf clan, then we have nothing to fear!"
After receiving the news that the wolves were coming to help, the old Marquis straightened his back a lot, and looked at Li Xuan a little wildly.
"Young man, I admit that you have a great background, you can even be taken as a slave by the Heavenly Palace.
However, there is heaven and earth, and there are people outside the world. In this European continent, Tiangong is not the strongest force! If you think that relying on Tiangong can overwhelm our Sebastian family, you are totally wrong!"
"Friends of our family will be here soon.
If we can't reach a mutually satisfactory result by then, you may not look good."
The old Marquis's attitude was obviously much tougher, and the guests were all a little shocked when he saw it, and they couldn't help but start talking.
"As expected of a long-established nobleman, you don't even care about the Heavenly Palace?"
"Perhaps Sebastian's family has some hidden cards?"
"Which of the old nobles doesn't have a trump card?
Seeing how determined the old Marquis is, Tiangong may not be able to take advantage this time."
Just when the old Marquis and Li Xuan were in a stalemate, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.
The next moment, a woman walked in quickly and said in surprise as soon as she entered the door: "What's going on? You don't have a banquet. What do you mean by standing here in a daze?"
