When Mike arrived at the palace, he first glanced at Akari, who gave him a negative look. Mike instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
Mike said to the Ruler, âYour Majesty, thereâs something I want to say to you.â
The Ruler nodded and said to Mike, âThereâs no harm in saying it.â
Mike said, âYour Majesty, the situation on the other side of the river is already very bad. Iâm afraid that there are already tens or even hundreds of divine-tier battle prowess gathered at the Otherworldâs port. If you donât take action now, youâll probably be at a great disadvantage in the future.â
The Ruler felt that Mike was exaggerating. He asked, âTell me, how did you know that the Otherworld has tens or hundreds of divine-tier battle prowess? Where did the Otherworld get these tens or hundreds of divine-tier battle prowess from?â
Mike said to the leader, âWhat if the enemy is in contact with the outside world? Itâs true that outsiders can not enter the high-level barrier, but the materials can enter. If there is a potion inside that can create divine-tier battle prowess, wouldnât all of this make sense?â
The Ruler frowned. He understood that what Mike said was indeed a place worth paying attention to. He looked at Mike and asked, âIs there anything else?â
Mike frowned and asked, âMay I ask Your Majesty, are these not enough to attract your attention? These are enough. There are tens to hundreds of divine-tier enemies. This is not a battle between ordinary people. If they activate the power of heaven and earth at the same time, you must be very clear about the destructive power they will produce.â
The Ruler said, âOf course, Iâm clear about this matter. However, you should at least give me some time to set up a defense, right? How many of the experts you want to draw will need to be carefully considered. If youâre in a hurry, you can bring your men up to hold them off for a while. I can write a written approval for you.â
Mike cursed the Ruler in his heart a thousand times. He shook his head and said, âSince His
sajesty is clear about the pros and cons, then Iâll take my leave.â
The Ruler said to Mike, âYou and Akari are both rare talents on this realm. In the future, you must help each other kill the king and live tenaciously on this land.â
Mike could feel that the Ruler was a little angry
Mike thought that he could not stay here any longer, so he said goodbye to the Ruler.
The Ruler looked at Mikeâs disappearing figure and said to the princes on both sides, âWhat do you think of these two people?â
The Sea King immediately understood what the Ruler meant. He immediately jumped out and said, âThese two people are extraordinarily talented and powerful. They are both rare talents. Unfortunatelyâ¦â
The Ruler raised his eyebrows and asked, âUnfortunately for what?â
The Sea King hurriedly replied, âBut we canât use him. Look at him just now. Itâs as if he is the master of the other world, and he was belittling you.â
When the Ocean King heard this, his heart was shocked. He had underestimated the extent of the Sea Kingâs shamelessness. He hurriedly said, âShut up! Iâve never seen a person like you who instigates things like this! When Mike came in just now, his words were filled with obedience. Even if he went against His Majesty, it was just the arrogance of youth. It wasnât as serious as you said. If it was as you said, then Mike wouldnât be able to live! Are you treating His Majesty as a foolish leader? What exactly are your intentions?â
The Ruler sighed. When he heard what the Ocean King said, he understood that the Ocean King was determined to protect Mike. The Ruler quickly stood up and said, âMy two royal brothers, donât be angry. Itâs not worth it for us to quarrel for the sake of an outsider. Letâs put Mikeâs matter aside for now. Letâs discuss whether or not we should send more troops to the port.â
The Sea King laughed coldly. âHow do you know that he isnât bluffing us with a fake piece of news? Mike has gone crazy from wanting to take over the Otherworld. Itâs understandable for him to use such a foolish move.â
The Sea King looked at the Ruler, cupped his hands, and said, âYour Majesty, this subject has long since found out that there are only two divine-tier experts in the Otherworld. We only need to transfer the county governors of the two prefectures to the region harborâs exit. Why would we need to go through so much trouble just for a piece of fake news?â
The Sea King wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by the Ruler. The Ruler said, âIâll think about this. All of you can leave first. Iâll call for all of you in a while.â
Everyone left the palace.
Seeing that everyone had left, the Ruler suddenly said, âWhich one of them do you think is true?â
A phantom appeared from the virtual space. He said, âWhat that Mike said might not be true, but what that Sea King said must be false.â
The Ruler suddenly opened his eyes and asked, âAre you sure?â The phantom said, âYou can choose not to believe me. Iâm just a reference. Iâm just a contracted beast of yours. You can think about it for yourself. Would an organization that has more than five high-level divinet-tier experts only send two divine-tier experts?â
The Ruler nodded, took a deep breath, and said to the phantom, âThen from today onwards, increase the surveillance on the Sea King. As long as he makes any strange movements, immediatelyâ¦â The Ruler makes a throat-slicing motion. The phantom nodded and said to the Ruler, âUnderstood.â
The leader stood up, drew the treasured sword at his waist, looked at the sharp blade, and said, âMike, are you a disaster or not? Are you also looking for that thingâ?â.
As soon as the Ruler finished his words, he slashed out with his sword, and a moth was immediately cut into countless halves.
Mike walked quickly on the road outside the palace. His face was gloomy and he did not say a word. The guard who led the way and Akari were far behind him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mike walked to the front of the palace, and a guard stopped him. âStop, what are you doing?â
âGet lost!â Mike shook the guard away.
In an instant, all the guards raised their weapons toward Mike, summoned their summoned beasts, and looked at Mike nervously.
âStop!â The guard leading the way walked over and asked, âWhat happened?â
Another guard walked over and recounted the situation in detail.
The guard who was leading the way looked at Mike, whose expression was uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he said to Mike and Akari, âPlease go back first, the matters here will be handled.â
Akari nodded, pulled Mike, and left.
After Mike left, the guard who was leading the way said to the guard at the center gate, âBrothers, please forgive us for todayâs matter.â
The guard asked when he heard the guardâs words, âWho is he?â
The guard said, âHe is here to face His Majesty directly, and twice. I donât know why he is like this. I only know that if none of you are injured, it is best to put this matter behind us. This is good for everyone. I will tell your superior and let him remember your merits.â
The few of them were initially very indignant, but when they heard the word ârememberâ, all of their anger disappeared. They promised to forget about this matter.
The guard heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and looked back at the palace in surprise. He did not understand what had happened. Suddenly, he recalled the expression of the Ruler he saw when he opened the palace door, what kind of expression was that? It looked a little angry and a little disdainful, but at the same time, it seemed to hide a hint of worry.
The guard was stunned. Then, he laughed. That was the Ruler, the master of the Otherworld, an existence that all the princes and dukes of the Otherworld had to fear. How could there be anything that could make him worry?
The guard shook his head, trying to forget this entire matter. However, the more he tried to forget about this matter, the more it was like a nail, firmly nailed to his mind.
The guard was a little terrified. He decided to first call in sick and take a look.
