Chapter 469: Retaliation From the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom
“Qiangan Kingdom, although I was able to obtain the Saint Ruler’s skeleton, you have found trouble with me. I no longer need to abide by our earlier agreement. Wait and see, when I have time, I will visit again to merit out fairness.” Jian Chen muttered under his breath as he floated in the air. At the same time, he felt worried about the Huang family. Although he had once helped Huang Luan, the skeleton of a Saint Ruler wasn’t beneath a Ruler Armament in rarity and value. Whether or not the patriarch of the Huang family would trouble him for the skeleton, Jian Chen didn’t know. All he knew was that the skeleton was indeed a great boon for the patriarch if he had gotten it.
However as an Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom, Jian Chen held a certain amount of power over even the greatest of clans on the continent. Even the patriarch of the Huang family would presumably avoid overstepping his boundaries to deal with Jian Chen.
“It seems that being able to use the Chaotic Force is even more important than ever. This way, I will have a weapon to use against those of the Saint Ruler level.” Jian Chen muttered in resolute determination. After he returned, he would refine the energy within the Saint Ruler’s skeleton straight away.
Transforming into a jet of azure and violet light, Jian Chen flew off in the direction of the Gesun Kingdom before ultimately disappearing into the horizon.
At the same time in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, a single squadron had entered the imperial palace. All the guards had knelt on both sides as a polite gesture of welcoming.
After several days of traveling, the second prince and the prime minister had finally returned to the imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
The very moment they had entered the palace, the travel-weary second prince and prime minister instantly dismounted from their horses and walked straight for the halls to report to the king.
Notified of their arrival to the large halls for a discussion within the palace, the king had sat in his throne. On both sides, twenty armored experts stood without moving, looking more like statues than humans. Each one of them was stony-faced, but their eyes emitted a sharp contrast.
The second prince and prime minister walked into the palace. When they saw the king sitting high above upon his throne, they immediately knelt down in subservience.
“Your servant pays his respect to his Majesty!”
“Your child pays his respects to his Majesty!”
Taking the teacup offered to him by the nearby maid, the king smiled. “Let’s skip the formalities. My son, prime minister, has our proposal with the Gesun Kingdom gone smoothly?”
“Father, the Gesun Kingdom is far too insolent, not only do they see themselves as higher than everyone else, but they do not even see our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom as above them. Not only did they injure senior Georgien, we were barely able to escape from the imperial palace.” The second prince immediately told the king what had transpired in the Gesun Kingdom and had added his own details to it to make it seem even worse.
Hearing the second prince speak, the king’s smile slowly began to grow darker and darker until he looked to the prime minister and asked slowly, “Prime minister, is what my son says true? Has the Gesun Kingdom acted in such a way?”
“Your Majesty, the second prince speaks truly. The Gesun Kingdom has without a doubt placed our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom beneath them. Furthermore, Georgien was indeed injured by them and they were just about to take us in forever.” The prime minister spoke respectfully.
“What bullies they are!” The king roared angrily as his hand slapped the armrest of his throne, “Men! Call for senior Georgien.”
