Earlier, outside the prince's domain, the attack from the Chiangdas ceased when they saw their hits couldn't penetrate the magical shield. The prime minister was a bit apprehensive about being held prisoner, but as a man who was used to facing people in high places and even with greater intimidation, he didn't show his unease. Instead, he stared into the prince's eye.
"You are overestimating yourself. Prisoner? We'll see about that. Before furthering our talks, I want to see Madame Lei Lifen first."
"Don't worry. I wouldn't harm even a strand of her hair. You can't see her unless you agree to my terms."
"Agree with your terms?" He made a sarcastic laugh. "Why should I trust you? Your people attacked my people in the middle of the night. You do your work behind the shadows. Only fools would believe you."
"Change is the way of life. Challenge is the aim of life. This New Year, take up the challenge to bring about substantial changes into your life. Happy New Year!"
I missed adding a chapter yesterday because of an urgent matter with my internet provider. I thought of giving you two chapters today, but my head can't handle it anymore. Mostly with the preparation for the New Year's Eve. I'll try to add one more chapter before this week ends. Enjoy your first day of the year.
