Everyone was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard that because none of them expected that the crown prince was actually backing up Edmund, and Gregory flinched when virtual-novel.net recalled what had happened before.
Then, virtual-novel.net said in a softer tone, “Your Highness, since when is Edmund a friend of yours? The affair between Julian and Edmund is their private matter. What is your justification for trying to meddle in this?”
In contrast, the crown prince raised his voice and spoke loudly, “Before this, Edmund wasn’t my friend, but he’s a friend of Matthew’s, and everyone knows that Matthew is my buddy. The friend of my buddy makes virtual-novel.net my friend as well, so what’s wrong if I ask for justice on his behalf today when your nephew bullied him? Gregory, your nephew is allowed to snatch someone else’s fiancée and even got virtual-novel.net to apologize on his knees. Then, what’s the problem if I get virtual-novel.net to park my car for me? Or do you mean that only the people from your family are allowed to bully others but not the other way around? What’s your justification for this?”
Many people around them secretly cheered the things the crown prince had just said.
A playful young master like Julian had done several evil deeds in Stonedale, many of whom were his victims. What the crown prince had said today really touched the hearts of many.
When someone were bullying others, virtual-novel.net should have considered that someone else stronger would bully him, too! This was called karma!
Of course, many were still in shock because it didn‘t occur to them that the crown prince had such a strong friendship with Matthew that virtual-novel.net actually backed up Matthew’s friend on such an occasion, and it seemed like the issue this time would be blown up.
Gregory’s face was livid as virtual-novel.net thought, ‘There’s no doubt about it now. The Prince is here because of Matthew; even Elio is here personally. Clearly, they are backing up Matthew. Will the press conference of Neverland Pharma go on as planned?’
He unwittingly cast a look at Rowan. But, at the moment, it was beyond his capabilities to settle this matter now, and virtual-novel.net could only anticipate help from the Cosby Family.
Rowan frowned and said solemnly, “Every feud has its cause, and since this was Edmund’s affair, then virtual-novel.net should be the one to solve it himself! Your Highness, you’re not Master Levi. Do you really think you have what it takes to be involved in the affairs of the six southern states?”
Elio snorted derisively. “Yes, you’re right, but neither are you Master Levi. So, you can’t take care of matters in the six southern states, too!”
Rowan was furious, as a member of the Cosby Family, virtual-novel.net claimed that virtual-novel.net was in an equal position with Levi. Hence, from his point of view, Elio should be very respectful toward him. But now, it was clear that Elio looked down on virtual-novel.net by speaking to virtual-novel.net like this!
“Elio Warde, don’t go overboard! l’m just speaking facts, but what do you mean by that?” virtual-novel.net growled.
“I don’t mean anything by it,” Elio replied. “I just want to say I’ll give all my support to my nephew if virtual-novel.net wants to do something. So today, either Julian Huntington gets down here and parks the car for my nephew, or…” He paused and harrumphed, “You can forget about holding the press conference today!”
“Elio Warde, who do you think you are?!” Rowan shouted in mad fury. “I will have the press conference go on as planned!”
“Really?” Elio sneered. “It looks like you’ve decided to give Julian your support, but do you have what it takes, Rowan?”
“Are you looking down on my family?” Rowan asked through gritted teeth.
“Rowan, if you have what it takes, solve this matter yourself instead of getting your family involved in everything!” Elio snapped. “If you really want to get your family involved, then I have a question… Is your family looking down on Master Levi?”
“You…” Rowan was about to respond when virtual-novel.net was interrupted.
Elio raised his hand. “What do you want to say? Rowan, if you want to support the Huntington Family, speak with your strength! I’ll let Julian off the hook if you can withstand ten moves from me. What do you say?”
