“Mr Billy, rest assured, I have no intention of asking you to divorce your wife,” Rhett Byrne’s wife continued.
“For a young talent like Mr Billy, having multiple wives is quite normal.”
“If Mr Billy agrees, Danica and Miss Knight can peacefully coexist.”
Upon hearing this, even Opal and Amber’s mouths twitched.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!” Billy’s lips twitched slightly. “However, in this life, I have no intention of being with any other woman…”
“Mr Billy is probably worried that Miss Knight might not agree, right?” Rhett Byrne’s wife directly interrupted him.
“Rest assured, Mr Billy, I will personally speak to Miss Knight, and she should agree.”
“Your Majesty misunderstood, this matter has nothing to do with my wife, it is my own choice to decline!” Billy responded.
“Mr Billy, there’s no need to rush to refuse!” at this moment, Rhett Byrne spoke up.
“If Mr Billy marries my daughter, not only you, but also your brothers and sisters will rise to prominence.”
“Even within the entire Rainbow Moon Empire, no one would dare to cause trouble for you!”
“Thank you for your kindness, but I’m sorry, I cannot agree to this matter,” Billy smiled again.
Upon hearing his words, Rhett Byrne’s expression changed.
Standing not far away, Rayan Byrne opened his mouth as if to say something, but decided to remain silent.
He was well aware of the king’s character – once he made a decision, no one could change his mind.
If he spoke out now, it would only backfire.
“Mr Billy, are you really not considering it seriously?” Rhett Byrne’s wife continued.
As a king, he saw himself as lowering his status by asking this much.
“No need,” Billy replied.
“A little over a month ago, Mr Billy, did you not kill the Prince Ronan of Wind Swift Kingdom at the Star Moon Sect?” Rhett Byrne adjusted his mood and continued.
“To be honest, yes, that did happen!” Billy nodded.
“Mr Billy is quite straightforward!”
Rhett Byrne did not expect Billy to answer so directly, then paused and continued speaking.
“I’ll be honest with Mr Billy, the people from Wind Swift Kingdom are currently within this palace. They want me to hand you over, in exchange for a city!”
“Is that so?” Billy responded nonchalantly. “What is your plan?”
“If Mr Billy becomes the husband of my daughter, I can compensate them with a city to settle this feud!” Rhett Byrne replied.
He did not doubt Rhett Byrne’s words too much. If he agreed to marry Danica Byrne, they might indeed do as promised.
However, compromise was not his style.
“Mr Billy, do you think my daughter is not worthy of you?” Rhett Byrne’s tone turned cold at Billy’s continued refusal.
“No, she’s nice but I don’t like her.” Billy shrugged.
“Heh…” Rhett Byrne gave a cold smile. “If Mr Billy were in my position, what would you choose?”
“Follow your heart,” Billy replied.
Rhett Byrne’s tone turned serious. “In that case, don’t blame me, Mr Billy!”
“Your majestic, are you trying to trade me for a city?” Billy smiled.
“Don’t worry. You saved my life, so I won’t repay kindness with enmity. Otherwise, I couldn’t face my subjects,” Rhett Byrne continued.
“However, in doing so, I have given up a city for you, which can be considered as repaying your life-saving grace!”
“From now on, we are even! If you encounter any trouble within the kingdom, I will no longer intervene!”
“In that case, should I thank you for sparing my life?” Billy raised a corner of his mouth.
“Mr Byrne, escort them out!” Rhett Byrne had lost his patience.
“Farewell!” Billy smiled again before turning to leave, with Opal and the others following closely behind.
Two minutes later, led by Rayan Byrne, the group headed towards the palace gates.
Boom!
As Billy and his group departed, Rhett Byrne raised his hand and smashed several elaborately carved chairs into pieces.
His face darkened.
“Honey, calm down,” Rhett Byrne’s wife stood up and spoke.
After a brief pause, she continued, “Mr Billy has saved us. If we let them fend for themselves like this, will it…”
“I have done all I can for him. It is his own fault for not knowing how to appreciate it,” Rhett Byrne cut her off.
“But…” After taking a deep breath, Rhett Byrne’s wife continued speaking.
“That’s enough, there’s no need to discuss this further,” Rhett Byrne interrupted once more.
After saying this, he left with a flick of his sleeve.
“Mr Billy, I apologize. I had no idea what the king called you here for!” Rayan Byrne said apologetically as they walked.
“Mr Byrne, there is no need for you to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you,” Billy responded with a smile.
Though he had little interaction with Rayan Byrne, he had a basic ability to judge people. Rayan Byrne and Uriel Gentry were at least decent people he could associate with.
“Mr Billy, although the king has allowed you to leave, the people of Wind Swift Kingdom will not let it go easily,” Rayan Byrne continued.
“The king made his intentions clear. He will not harm you, but if the people of Wind Swift Kingdom intercept you, he will not lend a hand either.”
“After leaving the royal city, try to leave this place as soon as possible. Once you are outside the borders of Tengamine Kingdom, you will be relatively safer!”
“Of course, for absolute safety, it would be best to leave Rainbow Moon Empire!”
“Mr Byrne, what is the cultivation level of the strongest among the people from Wind Swift Kingdom who came this time?” Casey asked.
“They won’t pose a threat to you, Mr Billy!” Rayan Byrne replied.
“Except for their second prince, who is at third-rank Divine Realm, there is another man at the third-rank realm too.”
“However, I guess they must have someone lurking in the royal city, likely their protector at the fifth-rank Divine Realm!”
“Understood!” Casey nodded in response.
“Thank you, Mr Byrne!” As they reached the gates of the palace, Billy looked at Rayan Byrne. “Farewell, until we meet again!”
“Mr Billy, take care!” Rayan Byrne took a deep breath before responding.
“Farewell!” After Billy finished speaking, he turned and left.
Watching the backs of the four as they departed, Rayan Byrne murmured to himself. “King, this time, I’m afraid you have made a mistake that you will regret for a lifetime!”
“Boss, someone is tailing us!” Soon after, as they walked down the main street, Casey spoke up.
“Ignore them,” Billy had already sensed it.
“Billy Boy, the people from Wind Swift Kingdom probably won’t make a move within this royal city. Should we leave the city now?” Amber looked at Billy and asked.
“Let’s leave the city,” Billy replied in a low voice.
