Chapter 426 - The Ruler!
Chapter 426 The Ruler!
Mike and the person in power looked at each other. For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely cold.
However, the others had different feelings in their hearts.
Most of them were looking at Mike, wanting to see what kind of punishment he would receive.
Suddenly, a voice broke the awkwardness,
“Look, this kid has just entered the divine-tier and hasn’t seen much of the world. He’s actually scared silly by this kind of ostentation.”
After saying this, he took the lead to laugh.
When the others saw this, they could only laugh along
Hearing this, the person in power narrowed his eyes slightly and withdrew that sovereign-like aura and divine power. He nodded and said, “Young man, your name is Mike, right?” Seeing this, Mike knew that the battle in the dark had ended. He slowly bowed to the person in power and said, “Yes, greetings to Your Majesty. It’s my first time entering such a precious place. I hope Your Majesty will forgive
me.”
The person in power looked at Mike and said, “No need for formalities.”
Hearing this, Mike slowly stood up.
The person in power looked at the person who spoke first and asked, “Your actions today are a bit abnormal. Do you know this kid?”.
The Sea King walked out, bowed to His Majesty and said, “Your Majesty, I have met this kid once, so I don’t really know him. But that good-for-nothing disciple of mine once had a dispute with Luo, so it can be said that we didn’t get to know each other without fighting.”
Mike smiled at the Sea King in a friendly manner.
The people who stood on the side of the Sea King also smiled at Mike.
The people on the other side of the group looked like charcoal, looking at Mike with extremely cold eyes.
Mike sighed. He understood that he had accidentally gotten involved in the dispute of the royal family again.
When the person in power saw this scene, his expression was calm. He asked, “Do you know why I asked you to come here?” Mike shook his head and nodded.
The person in power chuckled. “Interesting. Why did you shake your head? Why did you nod later?”
Mike said,
“I shook my head because I didn’t know the reason His Majesty was looking for. I nodded because I knew His Majesty wouldn’t make things difficult for me.”
The person in power looked at Mike and laughed.
“This is really interesting. Yes, you’re right. It’s for your own good.”
Mike stood up straight and put on an expression that said he was all ears.
The person in charge said, “I heard that your hometown has been occupied by Dark Magi, and I’m heartbroken. I want to help you, but the Dark Magi didn’t send troops to the Otherworld, and I have no reason to do so. Why don’t you be my personal guard? That way, I have enough reason to help you.”
Hearing this, Mike sneered in his heart. He thought to himself, ‘What a shameless ruler. The Dark Magi’s intentions are so obvious. They want to attack the Otherworld. He and cobweb will have a battle sooner or later. It’s just a matter of defense and offense, and they want to take advantage of it. Moreover, they make it sound so grand. It’s really…’
Mike took a deep breath. In that instant, he thought of countless reasons, but in the end, he rejected all of it. He understood that in front of the ruler. Any reason would be exposed. He could only tell the truth in his heart.
Thinking of this, Mike suddenly straightened his body and said to him, “Although the Otherworld has fallen, there are no longer people to care about. Moreover, they are aiming for a higher plane, so they won’t stay for long in the High-level Summoning Realm. So… I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Everyone looked at Mike, their eyes filled with disbelief, especially the Sea King. He was just thinking that Mike was really amazing, but now it had turned out like this…
Some of the Sea King’s political enemies were already laughing secretly.
To everyone’s surprise, the person in power did not have any intention of blaming Mike. He just asked, “Is that all? Is there any other reason?”
Mike shook his head and said, “Other than some personal affairs, there is nothing worth staying on this High-level.”
The person in power pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I can’t send troops to help
you.”
Mike expressionlessly bowed to the person in charge and turned to leave. However, he heard the person in charge say, “Wait.”
Mike stopped. The person in charge said, “Let’s make a bet. If you win, I can still help you. If you lose, stay by my side and be my personal guard for a thousand years. How about that?”
Mike heard this and asked, “What bet?”
The person in charge said, “I heard that your summoned beasts are very rare. Coincidentally, my summoned beasts are also very rare. Why don’t we let them out and let them have a fight? The outcome of the bet will be decided by their victory or defeat. How about that?” Eve said to Mike, “I can try.”
Mike did not answer Eve. He just walked forward quietly.
The person in charge asked, “You still haven’t answered my question.”
Mike said, “Your Majesty, but the answer is already very obvious. How many years has Your Majesty been a divine-tier powerhouse? Let alone a summoned beast? “He and I have fought for hundreds of years. We are already like brothers. I really don’t want to see him go into danger.”
The person in power shook his head and said, “As a young man, don’t you have any spirit of taking risks?”
Mike shook his head and said, “I only take risks where I can see hope, but I don’t dare to take risks where I can’t see hope.”
Everyone looked at Mike with a stunned expression. They thought that this kid was crazy to actually dare to talk to the great person in power about such a condition. He looked at Mike. The faint anger in his heart instantly disappeared. He suddenly felt that Mike was a little interesting. He had no idea how long it had been since someone dared to talk to him like this. He decided to give Mike a chance, he laughed lightly.
“Alright. How about I let my beast’s divine power be suppressed to the same level as your summoned beast? Now we can at least compare, right?”
Mike looked at the person in power and started to mutter in his heart. He did not understand why the person in power was able to take a step back on this issue. Was it because of his confidence? Mike quickly denied this answer. He did not think that the person in power knew
The person in power looked at Mike who did not speak for a long time. He was not anxious. He just sat on the throne and looked at Mike quietly.
The actions of the person in power surprised the royal nobles who knew him. They looked at him and suddenly felt that this was the first time they had seen him like this. Mike thought for a long time and found that there was actually no more peaceful and simple way than to fight a battle. If he really could not win, he could just admit defeat. After all, the opponent was the person in power of a region, even if he lost, it would not be too surprising.
He slowly raised his head and said to the ruler, “Okay.”
The corner of the ruler’s mouth rose slightly. He looked at Mike and said with a smile, “You’re very interesting.”
Mike bowed to the ruler and said, “Please show mercy.”
The ruler smiled but did not say anything. He just looked at Mike quietly. After a long while, he said, “Follow me.”
Then, the scene in front of everyone kept changing. The next moment, everyone was actually standing on the clouds.
