Chapter 468: City Lord!

The lead judge's voice echoed through the silent arena, his cold, emotionless tone delivering the final verdict that would change the fate of the Doom family forever. "King Hoom Doom, the final price is calculated. In addition to the initial 500 million superior mana stones and one thousand carts of elemental crystals, the value of the Treasure Trove Palace is several times the annual revenue of the Frost family."

King Hoom Doom's face paled as the weight of the words crashed over him like a tidal wave. His hands trembled as he struggled to maintain composure. "How… how much?" he managed to stammer, his voice barely audible.

The judge didn't blink as he replied, "One billion superior mana stones and five thousand carts of seven elemental crystals, in total."

A collective gasp rose from the spectators. It was a price so astronomical that even the wealthiest kingdoms would struggle to pay.
