Capítulo 865: Chapter 216 Your Majesty Bullies People_1
"Ridiculous!"
Xu Jiawei's face was filled with fury, "Do you know how much the Empire has sacrificed for those three Titled Douluo-level experts? What's wrong with asking you to compensate for part of the loss now? When a national crisis looms, isn't it every person's duty to contribute?"
The Empire had already suffered such great losses, so what was wrong with asking the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to bear part of the cost? He believed there was nothing unreasonable about this; it was all because the woman before him was being unreasonable and stubbornly entangled in nonsense.
"Does His Majesty think that because we are widows and orphans, without anyone to rely on, that we are easy to bully?"
The Duchess held her ground.
She knew very well that she absolutely could not give up this money.
With the Duke Bai Hu gone, the future status of Duke White Tiger's Mansion was bound to plummet, and no one knew what kind of situation they would end up in.
Especially as long as there was no Titled Douluo-level expert capable of leading the charge, there was absolutely no possibility of rising again.
So making money in the future would be difficult.
50 million golden soul coins was not a small amount.
When the Duke was alive, he had worked hard for most of his life to have such a foundation.
With no one left to expand the territory, she must guard this foundation.
"Besides, if I really had the heart to take out these 50 million golden soul coins, I might as well issue a bounty and ask someone from the Adventurer's Association to kill that scoundrel Dai Yuhao."
The Duchess began to scheme anew.
Xu Jiawei's expression grew even more unsightly.
He coldly watched the Duchess.
Plotting in his heart how to make her bleed a little.
However, just then, outside the grand hall, a terrified voice suddenly rang out.
"Who dares to barge into the imperial palace without permission!"
"Guards, stop them!"
"Assassins!"
One after another, the alarmed cries echoed.
Not good!
Assassins!
Xu Jiawei's face also drastically changed.
The Duchess appeared even more panicked, "Who? Who dares be so bold as to act recklessly in the imperial palace?"
"My Lady Mother, I know you are panicked, but I hope you do not panic. I will protect you."
Dai Yueheng spoke and directly positioned himself in front of the Duchess.
At the same time.
The tightly closed doors of the great hall were opened.
No.
To be precise, they were blasted open.
The terrifying surge of energy sent Dai Yueheng and the Duchess flying out.
With Dai Yueheng's strength, he simply had no power to resist.
"Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Xingluo Empire!"
Xu Jiawei shouted sternly, and at the same time, a Glittering Star Crown appeared above his head, and 9 sparkling Soul Rings materialized beneath his feet.
Indeed, he too was a powerful Titled Douluo-level expert.
It was only that people paid attention to his status, but forgot about his talent.
It should be known that he was one of the rare cultivation geniuses in Star Crown Clan in recent decades.
Even his cultivation talent was superior to Xu Jiujiu's.
"His Majesty the Emperor, please do not be anxious. I come from Shrek Academy."
With the sound of this voice, a person walked into the great hall.
He was dressed in Shrek Academy attire.
A deep weariness was evident in his expression.
"Dean Yan Shaozhe?"
Upon recognizing the person before him, Xu Jiawei appeared utterly astonished.
Beside him, Dai Yueheng also exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it's me,"
Yan Shaozhe nodded, "I have come uninvited and even in such an extreme manner to see His Majesty. It really is a last resort, I hope His Majesty will forgive me."
"However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I haven't harmed a single person. I merely repelled them."
As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe clasped his hands together and gave a slight bow.
Hearing this, Xu Jiawei shook his head slightly, and at the same time, he withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.
He could tell from Yan Shaozhe's disheveled appearance that something significant must have happened.
This was not the time for petty grievances.
He was desperately curious to know what exactly had transpired.
"If Dean has come personally, it must be to deliver some important news. I, Xu Jiawei, am not unreasonable. Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures, I won't hold it against Dean.
Dean, please state your business directly."
"His Majesty truly understands the broader picture. Therefore, I will get straight to the point. We came here to inform His Majesty that the Sun-Moon Empire is likely to undergo major changes, and they may even attack the various Empires soon. I advise His Majesty to prepare your defenses in advance," Yan Shaozhe said gravely.
"What?" Xu Jiawei looked startled, "Where did Dean get this information?"
"It's from our Shrek Academy..."
"Please, Dean, enlighten me," Xu Jiawei was somewhat confused.
It would be credible if this news came from the Sun-Moon Empire.
But what did it mean coming from Shrek Academy?
Yan Shaozhe said bitterly, "It's like this... Shrek City was destroyed just a few days ago... Without the deterrence of Shrek City, it's only a matter of time before the Sun-Moon Empire starts a war."
"What?"
"Dean, are you serious?"
"At such a critical time, why would Dean joke about such a matter!"
Xu Jiawei, the Duchess, and Dai Yueheng all had varied expressions on their faces.
Clearly, they did not expect such significant news either.
"This matter is absolutely true; there's no need for any doubt. However, Shrek Academy is still a distance away from the Xingluo Empire. I'm faster than the communication soldiers, so the news hasn't reached the Xingluo Empire yet, but it won't be long now," Yan Shaozhe said solemnly.
"But, I heard that there were Hao Tian Clan experts supporting Shrek Academy..."
Xu Jiawei asked again.
"Do not underestimate evil Soul Masters; their strength is extremely formidable. The Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao, who was once renowned throughout Soul Land, has joined the ranks of the evil Soul Masters.
It's also because he defeated the Second Master of the Hao Tian Clan, that those people abandoned us, leading to such a severe defeat," Yan Shaozhe explained, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Now, the two people he hated the most were Long Xiaoyao and Titan.
One had destroyed Shrek Academy, and the other had abandoned Shrek Academy.
Once a sword's in hand, let all who wronged me be vanquished!
Yan Shaozhe had sworn to himself countless times on his journey.
"To think there's a Level 99 super-expert backing them! How could evil Soul Masters be so powerful..."
Xu Jiawei was shocked once more.
"Yes, I also did not expect them to be so formidable... If only we had taken harsher measures earlier," Yan Shaozhe said through gritted teeth.
Shrek Academy had always been suppressing the evil Soul Masters in a rather lax manner, treating them more like training tools.
But Shrek's policy was to kill the evil Soul Masters but not eradicate them.
Otherwise, what achievements would Shrek Academy have left?
Never did they expect them to grow so strong.
