“Thank you, Opal!” Judge and the others were slightly taken aback, but their faces immediately lit up with joy as they bowed in gratitude. They understood that Opal Fraley was about to help them break through their limits.
Just then, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door, and soon Urban Woolery and Otis Hum walked in quickly.
“Greetings, Minister Woolery. Greetings, Lord Hum!” Brigham Bush led his SHADOW brothers and bowed respectfully.
“Is Lord Dragon alright?” Urban asked as he walked.
“He’s fine!” Brigham Bush led the two of them towards the square.
“Lord Dragon, how are you? What about that old guy from Genesis Sect? Did he harm you?” Urban asked Billy loudly as they walked.
“Thank you for your concern, Minister Woolery, I’m fine!” Billy smiled and greeted him, “He’s already dead!”
“Dead?” Urban was slightly taken aback. “I heard Ivy say he was an Eighth-rank Sovereign. Who killed him?”
Based on his understanding of Billy, even if he had broken through to the fifth-rank realm, it would still be unrealistic to think that he could kill an Eighth-rank Sovereign. But other than Billy, who else at the scene could have such strength?
“Minister Woolery, long time no see!” At this moment, Opal Fraley walked over and gave Urban Woolery a faint smile.
“Fairy Opal?” Urban was slightly stunned. Then, he burst into laughter and said, “Haha, you’re already here? I thought you would arrive in a few days!”
Otis Hum, who was standing beside him, also recognized Opal Fraley and had a similarly surprised expression on his face. Upon hearing the Prime Minister’s address, Casey and the others couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. Fairy? That was quite a unique title.
“Minister Woolery, it’s been a while. You’re looking more energetic and younger!” Opal Fraley smiled faintly at Urban Woolery and greeted Otis Hum.
“Haha, really?” Urban laughed again and asked, “Is the old master and your teacher doing well?” Once he recognized Opal Fraley, he no longer cared about who killed the Eighth-rank Sovereign. He knew very well that with Opal Fraley’s strength, let alone one Eighth-rank Sovereign, even if there were ten, it probably wouldn’t be enough for her to slap.
“Thank you for your concern. The old master and my teacher are both doing well!” Opal Fraley responded.
“That’s good!” Urban continued to smile and said, “We’ll have to trouble you this time!”
“My pleasure. It’s all in a day’s work!” Opal Fraley smiled lightly.
“I wonder if Fairy Opal has any plans for tonight?” Urban asked again. “If you don’t have any other plans, why don’t we have dinner together at the Cabinet Courtyard? The people from Aquilandia should be arriving soon.”
“I won’t go.” Opal Fraley waved her hand. “I have something to take care of.”
“Alright then! If you need anything, just let Ivy know!” Urban Woolery responded. He knew that Opal Fraley wasn’t the type to join in on the fun, so he didn’t insist.
“Okay.” Opal Fraley nodded.
Two minutes later, Opal Fraley bid farewell to everyone and left.
“Minister Woolery, has Yin Yang Shrine Sect sent anyone to the capital?” Billy asked Urban Woolery after Opal Fraley left. Last time, before he left the Yin Yang Shrine Sect, he had left a message. He had given them a deadline of half a month to send ten martial artists of the third-tier realm to the capital and then follow the capital’s arrangements to go to the Polar Domain.
“Yin Yang Shrine Sect?” Urban Woolery frowned slightly and shook his head. “Haven’t seen anyone.”
“Darn it! I knew they wouldn’t be so honest!” Azure Dragon spoke up, his voice low. Then he turned to Billy and asked, “Boss, should we pay their sect another visit?”
“Let’s wait until after the competition.” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly. At this stage, the most important thing was undoubtedly the competition. Everything else could be put on hold for now.
“Understood!” Azure Dragon nodded in response.
After chatting for a while, Urban Woolery and Otis Hum bid their farewells and left.
Around five in the evening, Billy and his group arrived at the Imperial Court. The reception was arranged at the square in front of the State Banquet Hall. By the time Billy and his entourage arrived, everything had already been set up. Aquilandia’s Prime Minister, Caruno, led a group of Aquilandians who were already seated, accompanied by several ministers from the Imperial Court.
“Billy, are they the people from Aquilandia?” asked Harleen.
“Yes!” Billy nodded. He had met Caruno last time in the Northern Territory, so he recognized him.
“What about that beautiful woman who keeps staring at you? Is she your friend?” Harleen asked again. Billy was slightly choked by his own saliva. His wife’s focus of attention was indeed different from others.
“I don’t know her, it’s my first time meeting her,” Billy replied, shaking his head after recovering slightly.
“You don’t know her?” Harleen looked disbelieving. “Then why is she looking at you like that? Because you’re handsome?”
Billy’s mouth twitched again. Ivy stifled a smile beside him.
“Harleen, that woman is the daughter of Aquilandia’s ruler, Princess Eligina. She must have seen Billy’s photos before, so she recognizes him,” Ivy explained.
“Princess?” Harleen was slightly surprised.
“Yes!” Ivy smiled lightly and continued, “Not only is she a princess of Aquilandia, but she is also a rare genius in Aquilandia for hundreds of years. Among the participants sent by Aquilandia for this competition, she is officially ranked third in terms of strength. Just like you, she has reached the Third-rank Sovereign realm.”
“I am Aquilandia’s Prime Minister Caruno, Greetings, Lord Dragon!” Just then, Caruno saw Billy and got up, walking over.
“Minister Caruno, greetings!” Billy smiled lightly in response. They had come all the way to Glavale to show goodwill, so he couldn’t be too rigid.
“Minister Caruno, this should be Lord Dragon, right?” At this moment, Ilygina walked over with a group of young men and women.
“Lord Dragon, let me introduce you.” Caruno looked at Billy and smiled, “This is the daughter of our Aquilandia’s ruler, Princess Eligina.”
“Lord Dragon, I’ve heard of your great name for a long time. It’s an honor to meet you today!” Ilygina extended her right hand and smiled at Billy.
“Nice to meet you!” Billy smiled again and shook her hand.
“I didn’t expect the famous Lord Dragon of Glavale to be so young. Truly admirable!” Ilygina spoke again. After speaking, she turned to Ivy and said, “If I guess correctly, this should be Glavale’s First Assistant Minister, Lord Chandler, right?”
“Welcome to Glavale!” Ivy smiled lightly and pointed at Harleen, “Princess Eligina, let me introduce you. This is Lord Dragon’s wife.”
Upon hearing Ivy’s words, Ilygina paused for a moment, then extended her right hand to Harleen. “I’ve heard that Lord Dragon’s wife is the most beautiful woman in Glavale. Today, seeing you in person, it’s truly not an exaggeration. Nice to meet you!”
“Thank you for the kind compliment, Princess Eligina. You’re quite beautiful yourself!” Harleen shook her hand generously. “Let’s sit down and chat!”
“Thank you!” Eligina nodded in response.
Soon, both sides took their seats.
“Lord Dragon, I heard that you welcomed the arrival of the Nine Nations’ Fortune in Kun Lun Mountains last time.” Caruno said as he turned to Billy.
