“You all stand up first!” Billy raised his hand.
“Mr Billy, I… I really have no other way… please, Mr Billy…” Danica Byrne continued to sob.
“I would rather die than marry Jared Byrne. If Mr Billy doesn’t agree, I’ll have no choice but to…”
“Princess Danica, you all stand up!” Harleen took a few steps forward and helped Danica Byrne up.
“If you want us to help save your father, you need to tell us the specific situation.”
“Otherwise, we won’t know if we have the ability to help you, how could we easily agree to your request!”
“Let’s talk inside!” Billy said, then turned and walked into the hotel.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered in a meeting room on the first floor of the hotel.
“If Jared Byrne is planning to seize power, why didn’t he just kill your father instead of imprisoning him?” Casey asked Danica Byrne.
“He won’t kill my father for now!” Danica Byrne responded.
“Even though he has taken the throne, his foundation is not strong enough to control the entire Tengamine Kingdom.”
“My father has many loyal followers, not only in the royal city but also in the prefectures under the kingdom, where most of the governors have been loyal to my father for decades.”
“If Jared Byrne kills my father, it will surely cause internal chaos. Other vassal states will take advantage of the situation, which Jared Byrne doesn’t want to see happen.”
“Furthermore, with my parents in his hands, he can better control those below to act on his behalf.”
“Understood!” Casey nodded.
“First, tell us the situation in your royal city!” Billy looked at the others and spoke.
As Harleen mentioned, he couldn’t agree easily without understanding the situation.
He was well aware that the royal city was heavily guarded, likely with a mid-level Divine Realm strongman present.
Rescuing two people from there would not be an easy task!
“Currently, the royal city is under Jared Byrne’s control, and key positions have been filled with his people,” Rayan Byrne explained.
“Additionally, he was originally the Commander of the Royal Guard, so the core members of the 100, 000 Royal Guards are under his command.”
“Moreover, we’ve learned that he has stationed another 100, 000 personal guards near the royal city, ready to follow his orders at any time.”
“What is Jared Byrne’s cultivation level?” Billy asked.
“He is a fifth-rank Divine Realm cultivator himself, and his deputy general is a fourth-rank Divine Realm expert!” Rayan Byrne replied.
“Besides, apart from Sincere Mercado, there are two more third-rank Divine Realm cultivators guarding the royal city.”
“Geez, facing such strong enemies, you want us to rescue people? This is a big joke, isn’t it?” Judge retorted.
Not only him, but Casey and the others also had skeptical expressions on their faces.
Ignoring the 200, 000 personal guards, just dealing with these four high-level experts was daunting enough.
If they were just causing a commotion in the royal city, Boss could handle it and retreat safely.
But now, the mission was to rescue two severely injured individuals, which indeed sounded like a joke.
“I understand that the task of rescuing the victims is difficult for Mr Billy!” Rayan Byrne took a deep breath and continued.
“However, if Mr Billy is willing, there is an opportunity the day after tomorrow that we can try!”
“What opportunity?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Jared Byrne has arranged a coronation ceremony for himself the day after tomorrow morning,” Danica Byrne spoke up.
“All the civil and military officials of the royal city will attend the ceremony at the palace, which is the weakest point in the city’s defense.”
“At that time, Elder Rayan will lead a group of people disguised to enter the royal city. Once the ceremony begins, they will cause chaos in the city to divert attention.”
“At that moment, if Mr Billy makes a move, the chances of success will be much higher!”
“Where are your parents imprisoned?” Billy asked after a moment of contemplation.
“My parents are both in the royal city’s dungeon, located in the military camp to the east of the royal city,” Danica Byrne replied.
“One of the third-rank Divine Realm warriors is responsible for guarding the dungeon, and he shouldn’t be attending the coronation ceremony the day after tomorrow.”
“So, to rescue my parents, we must first take him down!”
After a brief pause, she continued.
“However, in my estimation, from the moment we start until we rescue them, we’ll have at most about ten minutes.”
“After ten minutes, Jared Byrne will be able to arrive, so time is of the essence!”
“Even if Boss manages to rescue your parents within ten minutes, what’s next?” White Tiger spoke up.
“Boss will then have to escape Jared Byrne’s pursuit with two severely injured individuals,” White Tiger added.
“We’ve already thought about that,” Rayan Byrne paused before speaking again.
“About twenty to thirty kilometers away from the royal city, there is a valley with an underground space that the king instructed me to arrange ten years ago.”
“The king was originally concerned that one day strong forces from other vassal states might invade, so as a precaution, he left a last resort for the kingdom.”
“As long as Mr Billy takes the king to that space, they’ll be temporarily safe.”
“Does Jared Byrne know about that place?” Vermilion Bird asked.
“He doesn’t!” Rayan Byrne shook his head.
“That was a private arrangement from the king to me. Less than ten people in the entire royal city know about that place.”
“Even so, it may not be enough!” Vermilion Bird shook his head.
“Even if Boss manages to get the people out and into that space, Jared Byrne’s spiritual power level would easily lead him to the location.”
“He may find it, but it’s okay!” Rayan Byrne continued.
“At the entrance of the underground space, there is a high-level array set up. Without understanding arrays, he will find it challenging to locate the entrance.”
“Even if he forcibly breaks the array, it will take at least two to three hours.”
“After Mr Billy rescues the king, as long as he can detoxify and heal him within three hours, it should be successful!”
“You all seem to have a lot of faith in my Boss!” Stout chuckled and commented.
“If we hadn’t witnessed Mr Billy’s medical skills and martial arts yesterday, we wouldn’t dare to make such a request!” Rayan Byrne explained again.
“Let me think about it,” Billy replied after some consideration.
“Mr Billy…” Danica Byrne’s expression changed again upon hearing his response.
“Come on, for such a big matter, you need to give us some time to consider, right?” Black Tortoise said to the others.
“Princess, let’s go back first!” Rayan Byrne stood up after some thought: “This task indeed carries significant risks for Mr Billy, and we can’t push too hard.”
“Well… alright…” Danica Byrne took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Billy as she stood up.
Two minutes later, Rayan Byrne and his group bid farewell and left.
“Boss, this mission is quite risky. I think we should reconsider,” White Tiger said to Billy after the others had left.
“Opal, what do you think?” Billy turned to Opal for her opinion.
