“Darling, are you and Felicia going to stay in the hotel or come with us for a walk?” Billy turned to Harleen and asked.
“I want to go shopping!” Without waiting for Harleen’s response, Felicia exclaimed. She was someone who liked to join in on the fun and wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
“Harleen, it’s still early. How about we go out and see the night view together?” Ivy looked at Harleen and suggested.
“Sure!” Harleen smiled and then looked at Opal, “Opal, would you like to come too?”
“I’ll pass. You guys go ahead and come back early!” Opal waved her hand and turned to walk back to her room.
A few minutes later, Billy and his group left the hotel and arrived on the streets. The once quiet town had become bustling and lively due to the tournament. Neon lights flickered along the streets, and people of various ethnicities filled the roads. Billy and his group strolled aimlessly, while he released his powerful mental strength, spreading it around. Just as he had speculated, apart from the crowd in the hotel, there were also several Sovereign realm experts hiding in the shadows.
“Harleen, there are many unique handicrafts from different countries over there. Let’s go and take a look!” After a while, Felicia pointed to a lively pedestrian street a few hundred meters away.
“Alright!” Harleen smiled and walked over with Ivy and Night Orchid.
“What do you guys want to do? Get out of my way!”
Just as Billy was about to lead Casey and the others to follow, a voice came from not far away.
“Boss, that voice sounds a bit familiar.” Said Stout.
“If I guess correctly, it should be Princess Aquilandia.” Casey responded with a slight nod.
“That’s right!” Stout and Judge exclaimed at the same time.
Just as they were talking, a muffled sound came, followed by a figure flying out from the corner of the building. The person fell to the ground, mouth spewing a mouthful of blood, before convulsing a few times and becoming motionless. Billy and the others recognized this person. He was one of the Aquilandia participants who had followed Caruno to Glavale’s capital a week ago.
“Damn it, you killed him!” Immediately, another man’s voice sounded. “Your Highness, run! We’ll fight them!”
As the voice fell, a series of impacts could be heard one after another. Shortly after, three or four Aquilandia participants were sent flying from the corner.
“Boss, should we go take a look?” Azure Dragon turned to Billy.
“Casey and Bob, come with me to check it out. The rest of you stay with Harleen, Ivy, and the others.” Billy nodded slightly and walked over. Casey and Bob followed closely behind.
Although the life and death of the Aquilandia people had little to do with him, they were still allies to some extent, and they might be of some use in the future. Meanwhile, in a square outside the corner, two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle. Strictly speaking, one side was completely overpowering the other.
The Aquilandia group, including Eligina, consisted of only seven or eight people, while the other side consisted of twenty to thirty tall white men. A man with a hooked nose, who was about to attack Princess Eligina, displayed formidable martial arts skills, reaching the level of a Fourth Rank Sovereign.
“Your Highness, quickly go find Lord Victor!” At that moment, an Aquilandian man stepped forward to block the man with the crooked nose’s attack and shouted loudly.
Eligina knew that she was the target, and if she stayed, it would only put others in danger. So, without hesitation, she swiftly dodged to the side.
“Can you escape?” The man with the crooked nose with the hooked nose spoke in a deep voice, raising his hand and sending the Aquilandian man flying with a single palm strike. Immediately, he chased after Eligina with lightning speed, closing the distance to a hundred meters in an instant. Then, with a casual lift of his hand, a powerful gust of wind rushed towards Eligina.
“Your Highness!” A man from Aquilandia shouted. Although he had the intention to go and rescue her, he was too late, and he could only watch as the man’s attack headed towards their princess.
Whoosh!
Just then, a sword aura shot out like lightning, intercepting the man with the crooked nose’s palm strike. Eligina was pushed back by the residual shockwave, flying more than ten meters away, her face slightly pale.
“Who are you?” The man with the crooked nose with the hooked nose furrowed his brow and asked Casey, who had just made the move.
“Lord Dragon?” Eligina, who had caught her breath, was surprised to see Billy. A hint of joy appeared on her face, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn’t have much of a relationship with Billy, she knew that he would never let her die in front of him.
“Are you Glavale’s people?” Although the man with the crooked nose had never heard of the title “Lord Dragon,” he could guess from the appearance of Billy and his companions.
“Lord Alexis, he is Commander Gardner of Glavale!” A woman’s voice sounded, followed by several men and women with Oriental features walking over from the side.
“What a coincidence?” Casey squinted his eyes slightly when he recognized the woman leading the group.
“Casey, do you know her? Who is she?” Bob asked in surprise.
“The princess of Veridiania!” Casey replied. As he said, the person who had arrived was indeed Princess Liz, whom they had met in Veridiania last time. The Veridiania martial arts master that Billy had defeated in the Imperial City of Veridiania was her teacher.
“Another princess?” Bob exclaimed with a hint of sigh.
“Boss, from the looks of it, it seems like Veridiania has made amends with Northfortia and Xidengia again!” Casey said to Billy.
Last time in the Veridiania Imperial City, Billy forced the Veridiania ruler to execute all those from Northfortia and Xidengia. They thought it would be difficult for Veridiania to reconcile with the two countries, but they didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
“As expected!” Billy shrugged his shoulders. “With Veridiania’s tendency to grovel, it’s easy for them to resolve such minor issues!”
“That’s true!” Casey nodded slightly.
As the two were conversing, the conflict between the two sides came to a halt.
“Thank you for your assistance, Lord Dragon!” Eligina walked over with several injured Aquilandians, bowing in gratitude and showing her appreciation.
“Your people from Aquilandia sure are confident. Your princess is out here handling things, and she doesn’t even have a ancient accompanying her?” Bob clicked his tongue.
With the upcoming tournament, the town was filled with danger and shady characters everywhere. Although Eligina was a Sovereign martial artist, in this town, Sovereigns were a dime a dozen. Shouldn’t the people from Aquilandia be worried about their princess?
“We didn’t expect Xidengia and their people to be so audacious. We will remember this debt!” A man from Aquilandia looked at Alexis and spoke sternly. He had the confidence to say such words, as Aquilandia’s strength might be inferior to Northfortia, but it didn’t mean that Xidengia could surpass them.
“Alright then!” Bob shrugged his shoulders.
“Who are they? What happened?” Billy pointed at Alexis and the others and asked.
