Chapter 529 Magic in the Kitchen

Smirking as he gave an additional condition that was truly preposterous, Algernon waited for Marcus to refuse.

He had no desire to engage in a bet to begin with and would rather deal with this situation with political power.

His family was one of the leading powers in the kingdom, and honestly it would not be difficult for them to crush a baronetess no matter how strong they were individually.

Still, with all of the onlookers around and his own lackeys seated next to him, he had to make it seem like he was at least willing to take this bet, or he would lose some face.

Of course, the prospect of getting an adamantine weapon made was tempting but he figured that once his family was done, they would have taken all of Marcus' wealth as compensation.

Unfortunately, for this arrogant noble that was far too used to everything going his way, he had no idea who he was really dealing with.
