Chapter 486: Fatherly Love and Filial Son
Facing Cavendish's challenge, Zhang Da also said: "I'm sorry, I refuse."
"Huh?" Cavendish seemed to have heard something incredible. Someone actually rejected him. "Why would you refuse? It's your honor to perform on the same stage with this prince. It might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"You're a prince. If I hit you, you'll be in trouble. Maybe one punch from me will turn you into a wanted criminal. There's no benefit at all. Why should I play with a little brat like you?"
Cavendish was only fifteen or sixteen years old, only slightly older than Perona. In Zhang Daye's eyes, he was just a mischievous little brat. Wait a minute!
Zhang Da suddenly realized that he was fifteen or sixteen years old now, which meant that he was only twelve or thirteen three years ago? Was that when women all over the country started to not want to get married and wait for him to grow up?
Beast, he's still just a child!
Zhang Da also looked at Cavendish with a little pity in his eyes.
"What's that look?" Cavendish exploded. "Who are you calling a kid?!"
"He gets angry about this little thing and says he's not a child."
"Damn it! I'm going to beat you right now! If you can hold out for a few more moves, I'll give you all my savings!"
As soon as Cavendish finished speaking, he drew the rapier named Durandal from his waist and stabbed it towards Zhang Daye: "Beautiful Sword - Blue Bird!"
The rapier pierced Zhang Daye's chest with a sound like a bird's cry, and the blade seemed to be shrouded in a layer of air. This man even had such a beautiful fighting posture, he really lived up to the name "Beautiful Sword".
"Lord Cavendish!" Cheers rang out again, but Cavendish had no time to enjoy it.
Because Zhang Da also quickly found the Tianlun Sword, and with a slight tilt of his body, the sword tip had already stopped in front of Cavendish's throat.
The cheers around him stopped abruptly, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on Cavendish's forehead: "How could it be so fast..."
"Is this all right?" Zhang Da also retracted his sword. "After all, I've trained hard for a long time. If I can be defeated so easily by you, then I'm done."
Speaking of long-term exercise, Zhang Da also feels a little guilty.
"I lost." Cavendish was very straightforward, but he looked a little distraught when he turned and left.
This was the biggest blow he had ever experienced. In his words, he had never eaten a devil fruit, nor had he made any effort. He had reached his current level solely by relying on his own talent and ability.
He was a swordsmanship genius. Hard work was completely unnecessary for him. He was naturally capable of reaching a level many others couldn't reach. But today, he lost. On the way back, Cavendish muttered, "Hard work...?"
The white horse Faruru lowered his head, nudged Cavendish's shoulder, and snorted.
Cavendish touched Faruru's cheek and smiled: "Thank you, Faruru. Although I am no match for him now, I will put in a little effort next time."
"I will defeat them all, and the ultimate popularity will definitely be mine! When that time comes..."
"Ah~ Isn't that the famous star who refuses to give in to failure?"
"Huh? Big star, are you talking about me?"
…
Cavendish quickly recovered his spirits, but Zhang Daye's situation was a little awkward.
After Cavendish left, he was surrounded by a group of angry fans surrounding Zhang Daye:
"He actually defeated Lord Cavendish. He must have cheated!"
"Damn it! How dare you make His Royal Highness so sad!"
"Give me back Lord Cavendish's smile!"
Ye Yan slipped away when he saw that the situation was not right. He also released the flag monster to persuade his other companions to leave in advance, and then waited happily to see Zhang Daye's fun.
When Tom saw the crowd surrounding him, he was so scared that he bit his fingers and trembled. When they were not paying attention, he slipped out through the gap in the crowd.
"Tom! Even you are so disloyal!" Zhang Da also looked at Tom's escape route and felt that it would be somewhat immoral if he imitated it.
To be honest, he had imagined being surrounded by a large group of beautiful women before, but it was definitely not a scene like today: "Everyone calm down, calm down!"
However, the fanatical fans were not so easy to appease. Before they pounced on him to tickle him, Zhang Da finally remembered that he had a flying skill. He used the Moon Step to jump high into the air and flew away.
…
Cavendish was a celebrity after all, and news of his disastrous failure in challenging the Amber Travel Group soon spread across the country.
Within a day, Zhang Da became the most hated person among all the unmarried women in the country - how dare he let our prince suffer such injustice!
At the same time, he became the most grateful person among unmarried men in the country - we have wanted to teach Cavendish a lesson for a long time.
Zefa was now sitting across from Zhang Daye helplessly: "I heard that you beat up the prince?"
Zhang Da also said: "Rumors, I didn't even touch him. My sword was at least 0.01 centimeters away from his throat, and he quickly gave in!"
"The sword is on the prince's neck. Isn't this more serious? Do you need to draw the sword to deal with him?" Zefa had a headache. This time he was not going to fight the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but the prince instead, right?
Zhang Da also said, "Mr. Zefa, you know me well. Actually, according to my habit, I should take out the folding stool and hit him in the face, but I felt that if his face swelled up from my beating, it would be a big trouble, so I used the sword. Besides, he was the one who started the trouble."
"..." Zefa actually found it very convincing. He also had to thank Zhang Da for not saying anything in return. "Anyway, even we have been affected. Today, everyone who went out to investigate encountered some obstacles."
"What the hell is this..." Zhang Da was also a little distressed. In his most angry moments, he had thought about beating or maiming anyone who dared to cause trouble, no matter who they were... But teaching one or two a lesson was fine, he couldn't really kill them all, could he? So when he was surrounded again when he went out, he had to strike the Soul-Calming Gong and run away.
Zhang Da also tried to comfort Zefa: "If you think about it carefully, it's good to encounter some difficulties. Navy work is not always smooth sailing. Sometimes some people will not cooperate. It's a good thing to let the trainees practice in advance."
Now that things have come to this, Zefa can only think this way.
At this time, Rui Mengmeng brought in a person: "Boss, the palace sent someone, saying it's the king's guard."
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang Daye?"
"I am."
"Excuse me for interrupting you. Actually, His Royal Highness ordered me to deliver something." The guard put down one of the two suitcases in his hands. "Here is His Royal Highness's deposit of 81 million baileys for you."
"Ah?" Zhang Daye then remembered that Cavendish had said that if he lost, he would give . This man was quite trustworthy, and... this kid was rich enough. For a minor to hold the entire Crocodile bounty in his hands was an exaggeration even for a prince.
Weiwei's previous savings were not even one percent of his, and it was only for this long trip that Cobra gave her more.
The guard put down another suitcase. "Here is an extra thank-you gift from His Majesty the King. It's 119 million berries. Together with the Prince's deposit, it totals 200 million berries. Please confirm."
"Huh?" Zhang Da didn't react. Why didn't he want medical expenses but instead gave money after his son was beaten? What was the king thinking?
"His Majesty the King has sent me his greetings, and has also sent me to tell you that the prince has caused you trouble, and that if you have the opportunity, you will teach him a lesson without mercy."
