The crowd was shocked when they heard Sam say such a thing.
This was especially so for Penny; her face had turned as white as a sheet.
After all, Sam was from the noble family of Artoria, the top family in the entire nation! In addition to that, he was also a skilled fighter!
If he wanted someone dead tonight, they would surely not survive until daybreak.
However, Nathan remained seated calmly and glanced at Sam. He inquired, "The Lance family were looking for trouble. Is the Artoria family going to get themselves involved as well?"
Sam scoffed, "Both of our families are of a royal bloodline and have established strong ties. We will naturally support each other. You've killed Pike and injured Alfie. Since I got to know of this matter, I can't possibly let you have your way."
Penny stood before Nathan and yelled, "Pike and Alfie were the ones who started
this whole thing! I won't allow you to hurt my husband, so leave before I call the police!"
Alfie, Sam, and the others burst into laughter.
Alfie chuckled, "Ms. Smith, I don't think you understand the power our families hold. With Mr. Artoria here, even the mayor of Channing would have to bow down in front of Mr. Artoria. The governor of the South would have to treat him with respect!"
Penny's face turned pale. Naturally, she had heard of the power held by the nobles.
She knew the nobles had high authority in both the military and in politics. As a mere businesswoman, she was certainly no match for them! A government official officer could easily crush her business!
Penny felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness when she faced the Artoria and Lance families.
