Capítulo 1700: Chapter 540: Cutting Off the Source (Part 5)
“Otaine, are you really giving no face to the Emperor? You’ll regret it later!”
Fergus threatened Otaine.
“Haha!”
At this moment, Kadonmo and others burst into mocking laughter, looking at Fergus as if he were an idiot.
Those from the Land of Lost have nothing to lose, fearless of threats.
As Prince Fergus listened to the ridicule, the muscles on his face twitched; this bunch is truly insane!
If it weren’t for the Dark Star Empire launching an all-out attack on the Federation, he wouldn’t have bothered to waste words with them.
At this moment, Otaine spoke coldly to Prince Fergus.
“Fergus, don’t waste your efforts. Escort the guest out!”
“Fine, fine, fine!”
Prince Fergus didn’t say much more, turned on his heel, and left with a grim face.
After Prince Fergus had gone.
A man of even build, with a stern expression and deep-set eyes, sitting on the last chair, spoke to Otaine.
“Father, isn’t it a bit unwise to drive away Prince Fergus like that? I think we should consider his final proposal; merely holding back the Holy Army doesn’t break our rules, satisfies the Emperor, and we could gain the greatest benefits….”
Before he could finish, Otaine picked up the tea beside him and smashed it straight into the man’s face, speaking coldly.
“Shut up.”
“Yes, father.”
The man immediately shut his mouth after taking the hit.
Hovido then spoke mockingly.
“Little brother, stop flaunting your little schemes.”
“Second brother’s rebuke is correct.”
Fager hung his head in silence.
Among the six brothers, he was the least favored by their father.
Otaine then rose from his throne, casting a fierce glance at everyone, saying.
“The Land of Lost has stood firm here for years, and it’s all because of the rules. Whoever breaks them, I will personally take their head, no matter who they are.”
“Yes!”
Everyone responded promptly.
“Dismissed!”
Otaine ordered everyone.
Then Fager and the others got up and left.
…
Moments later.
Fager returned to his villa, sitting directly in the chair in the hall, his face grim to the extreme.
At this time, an elderly, white-haired butler in a tailcoat approached, lowering his voice to Fager.
“Young master, an envoy from the Dark Star Empire seeks an audience.”
“Let him in.”
Fager’s expression flickered before speaking.
“Yes, everyone is dismissed!”
The butler commanded all the servants in the hall.
“Yes!”
All the servants withdrew.
The butler then turned and left.
Soon, Prince Fergus entered, smiling as he spoke.
“Young Master Fager!”
“Why have you come to see me? If it’s about the Holy Army, you can go back.”
Fager stated directly.
Prince Fergus did not take offense, smiling as he said.
“Master Fager, if I am not mistaken, your heart leans toward our Dark Star Empire.”
“What if it does?”
“It only proves your father is extremely pedantic, unwilling to heed your advice.”
“How do you know?”
Fager asked with a furrowed brow.
“No need to ask that, we have our ways.”
“Hmph, so what if I am inclined toward you, what’s the use?”
“Young Master Fager, this is for you.”
Prince Fergus handed the V-type Gene Potion to Fager.
Fager did not accept it, speaking grimly.
“Do you think this will be of any use to me? My father will not agree, and I can’t persuade him.”
“Young Master Fager, have you considered taking his place?”
Prince Fergus said with a sinister smile.
Upon hearing this, Fager’s eyes shone sharply but soon returned to calmness, speaking lightly.
“Prince Fergus, you don’t expect that with this bottle of V-type Gene Potion, I can rise to power, do you?”
“Young Master Fager, our Dark Star Empire isn’t without influence in the Land of Lost!”
Prince Fergus subtly reminded.
“Even so, it’s not enough; my father and the brothers aren’t so easily dealt with. Don’t overestimate yourselves, if your strength were sufficient, would you need us to deal with the Holy Army for you?”
Despite being tempted, Fager did not lose his wits.
“What if they were all dead, Young Master Fager?”
Prince Fergus asked, smiling broadly.
“Prince Fergus, that joke isn’t funny.”
Fager’s heart skipped a beat, gazing at Fergus with uncertain eyes.
“Whether it’s a joke or not, I’ll take you to see something, and you’ll understand!”
Prince Fergus spoke temptingly.
“Alright, I’d like to see just what it is.”
Fager’s expression flickered before he finally spoke.
“Please follow me!”
Prince Fergus said with a smile.
Fager then followed Prince Fergus and left.
Over an hour later.
Prince Fergus led Fager to a secret base of the Dark Star Empire in Lost City.
They passed through layers of guards and arrived at an elevator.
The two entered the elevator.
The elevator doors closed, descending downward.
Soon they reached the first basement level, and as the elevator doors opened.
Fager’s eyes widened, his face showing immense joy.
“This is….”
…
——————————-
Days later.
In the Dark Forest Starry Sky.
The Thunder Extreme was traveling at high speed, while Su Ming sat in the command chair with Little Grey in his arms.
Little Grey lazily extended a paw, pointing in a direction.
Timi immediately adjusted the course of the ship.
