Chapter 283: How was this possible?

"Give a present?"

"Is this brat trying to bribe us?"

"Hahaha, not bad. He wants us to let him live in exchange for rewards? He really underestimates us, doesn't he?"

The Dukes had a mocking smile on their faces. They couldn't even believe that Gabriel could give them something that could attract their attention at all. Moreover, even if he did have a nice thing to give, so what? They knew that they couldn't let Gabriel live now that the Emperor was here. 

'Little boy, let us see what you can give. If it's something nice, we can still take it and then kill you. Did you really think that anyone here would let you live?'

Gabriel didn't even need to look at the Dukes to know what they were thinking. At this point, he had read them up completely. 

Not only the Dukes, but even the Emperor and his children thought that Gabriel was trying to bribe the Dukes in his favor.
