Chapter 376 Duel Agent
Since he could not open up the situation with Miss Lisa, Master Sandwich resorted to roundabout tactics and deliberately looked for opportunities to please Lisa's parents in the social arena. He hoped to win the favor of the Colts first and then change Lisa's life through the couple. Sarah's impression of herself.
Mr. Colt saw right through this kid's charlatanism and ignored him.
Mrs. Colt was a little shaken.
Especially after learning that Levant Montagu Sandwich was the nephew of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Earl Sandwich (Earl of Sandwich), he couldn't help but once again thought of marrying his daughter into a wealthy family, so he I ran to my husband to talk about it.
Mr. Colt ridiculed his wife's vanity and delusions without politeness.
He told Mrs. Colt that he had investigated Levant Montagu Sandwich's character and concluded that he was not just a prodigal, but at least a despicable person.
This self-proclaimed young aristocrat is actually just a distant cousin of the Earl of Sandwich. He can't even enter the Earl's house, but it doesn't stop him from using the Earl's name to decorate his appearance and improve his social status. This shows that this man is How vain and superficial.
Levante's father was already bankrupt, so he expected his son to marry the daughter of a nouveau riche to pay off his gambling debts.
Like a bee, LeWente circled around the social circle, flirting with women, just to find a rich lady to feed him.
If he couldn't find a rich lady, he wouldn't mind a rich widow, even if she was old enough to be his mother.
How could such a person really fall in love with Lisa, whose family was not considered wealthy?
Just for fun.
When he gets tired of playing with her, he will kick Lisa away mercilessly, just like he did to other silly girls whose emotions he toyed with before.
After listening to her husband's story, Mrs. Colt felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, completely giving up her thoughts of climbing a high branch. In the future, she would ignore Levante's attentiveness again.
Mr. Colt even made no secret of his contempt for Young Master Sandwich. He confessed in front of many colleagues in the Legal Club that he hated the young master who pursued his daughter.
"People like Levant are selfish to the core. They will never truly fall in love with any woman. They just treat women as playthings or cash slips. I will never tolerate my daughter falling into the hands of such despicable people!"
It was these few words that caused Mr. Colt a lot of trouble.
Young Master Sandwich's pursuit of Lisa was met with obstacles one after another, and he was also used as a source of ridicule by the playboys and courtesans in the social circle. He was already angry, but when he learned of Mr. Colt's harsh comments about him, he couldn't help but become angry.
He went to the Supreme Court of Avalon and filed an appeal in the name of defamation victim, requesting a judicial duel with Judge Colt who slandered him as "selfish and unfeeling" to defend his damaged reputation.
After some litigation, the court finally agreed to Levante's request and allowed him to initiate a judicial duel.
The presiding judge also saved some face for his colleagues, specifically pointing out that Mr. Colt was too old to duel with the young and strong Levant in person, and could hire a duel agent, also known as a duel agent. The "Judicial Knight" or the "Sword Lawyer" takes his place in the duel with Levant.
After receiving the notice from the Supreme Court, the Colt family was devastated.
Mr. Colt was old, and his legs and feet were not very agile. It would be suicide to duel Levante personally.
Miss Lisa felt that this misfortune was caused by herself, and she felt deeply guilty, so she went to Musk privately and revealed to her closest friend that she planned to fight on behalf of her father.
Musk firmly disagrees with her doing this.
Levant is a level 7 "Wind Elemental Warrior". He often duels with others out of jealousy, and has yet to lose a match. He can be said to be an expert in the duel field.
Had he not been confident in his swordsmanship, he would not have provoked a "judicial duel" to retaliate against the Colt family.
Miss Lisa is a level 5 "Judge". Not to mention that the "Judge" career type itself is not good at one-on-one combat. Lisa's career level is still lower than that of her opponent. Even if both parties have the same career and level, they are seriously lacking. Lisa, who has actual combat experience, cannot possibly defeat an experienced duel expert.
If she fights for her father, she will definitely lose!
Levant may not publicly kill her, but after defeating Lisa, whether he humiliates her with words or shows mercy, it will deeply hurt Lisa's self-esteem.
Perhaps this is Levant’s purpose:
If you can't make a woman fall in love with you, let her hate you. No matter if you love or hate, you will never be able to forget yourself!
But if Lisa is not allowed to duel on behalf of her father, who else can accept Levante's challenge?
Spend the money to hire a professional dueling attorney?
The Colts do have such a plan.
However, Musk feels obligated to do his part for the family.
What Levant did to Lisa deeply angered this young man who came from a slum.
An unstoppable urge swirled in his mind.
Yes, he wanted to fight Lewinter Montagu Sandwich in place of Mr. Colt and kill this shameless man with his own hands!
But is this really wise?
Do you have the strength to challenge Levante?
Reason and anger saw each other back and forth in the heart of young Musk Justice, and it was difficult to decide for a while.
Finally, Musk decided to leave his fate to his guardian angel, and let God make the most critical decision in his life for him.
…
"Here we go! Brother Musk, I am your guardian angel, your savior!"
After watching the cutscene, Gao Fei can finally "come down to earth".
Do you want to accept the duel on behalf of Mr. Colt?
Do you still need to consider this?
Fuck you! What the hell is Master Sandwich, how dare he snatch a woman from me? !
I must beat this bastard into a sandwich!
…
Historical materials: judicial duel and proxy duel
In theory, only the accuser and the defendant are the legal subjects of judicial duels.
However, if women, the elderly, children or other people who are not capable of dueling are placed in a duel situation, they are obviously no match for those strong men.
For this reason, rules that are sufficient to balance the ability gap between the duelists must be designed.
For example, if a woman is a party to a duel, then according to the rules at the time, the man duelling with her must stay in a waist-deep hole and tie one of his hands behind his back, while the female duellist can freely compete with her around the outside of the hole.
However, for women or other parties with insufficient abilities who participate in duels, they usually hire duelists to fight on their behalf.
In judicial practice, judicial duels are usually conducted between professional duelists.
