“Prince Nelson, you are too kind!” Bailey Kemp took a deep breath and slightly bowed.
“Since Prince Nelson has intervened, let’s drop the matter here!” After speaking, he glanced at Billy, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
For him, he naturally dared not to oppose Nelson Morris’s suggestion, nor would he actually accept those five thousand highest-grade spirit stones. He didn’t have the courage to accept compensation from the royal family, unless Falling Skies Sect didn’t intend to stay in Rainbow Moon Empire anymore.
Moreover, he knew his own limitations. He definitely couldn’t be Billy’s opponent. He was just acting on impulse earlier.
There will be plenty of opportunities to kill Billy in the future, no rush at this moment.
“Thank you, Mr Kemp!” Nelson Morris responded with a smile.
Then, he led everyone else into the main hall, who then took their seats.
“First of all, thank you all for coming!”
After the people below filled everyone’s glasses with wine, Nelson Morris raised his glass and looked at everyone before speaking loudly, “Let’s drink to each other!”
“Prince Nelson, you’re too kind!” Yousef Buck and others raised their glasses and drank in unison.
Billy and his group also raised their glasses and took a sip.
“Prince Nelson, when exactly will the entrance to the Forbidden Phantom Valley be open?” After everyone sat down again, a man asked loudly.
“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be at noon tomorrow!” Nelson Morris replied. “So, we should set off early tomorrow morning!”
“No problem!” the man responded again.
“Prince Nelson, please rest assured. We will work together and will not let Prince Nelson down!”
“Haha, thank you all!” Nelson Morris smiled in response.
“On the day of our triumphant return, I will host a banquet in the imperial city to thank you all for your great help!”
After saying that, he drank another glass of wine. “I invite you all to get to know each other and to discuss some things in advance.”
“Please go ahead, Prince Nelson!” a woman responded.
“Okay!” After nodding, Nelson Morris began to speak.
The content of the speech mainly revolved around some precautions for entering the Forbidden Phantom Valley.
During the process, from time to time, someone would raise some questions, and Nelson Morris answered them as much as he could.
However, his knowledge was limited, and many questions could only be answered after truly entering that environment.
About an hour or so later, the meeting came to an end.
Then, everyone bid farewell and agreed to gather here tomorrow morning.
“Mr Billy, please stay a moment!”
As Billy and his group were about to leave, Nelson Morris walked over.
“Is there anything else, Prince Nelson?” Billy asked.
“Mr Billy, can I take up a bit more of your time?” Nelson Morris said.
“Please, go ahead,” Billy responded.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” After that, Nelson Morris looked at Hank Cantu and said, “Elder Hank, please accompany Mrs Billy to sit here for a while. I’ll talk to Mr Billy about something.”
“Okay!” Hank Cantu nodded.
“Mr Billy, shall we take a walk outside?” Nelson Morris then turned to Billy.
“Sure!” Billy responded.
Soon, the two went outside.
“Mr Billy, you had a conflict with Natasha at the ‘Joy Restaurant’ before, right?” Walking along the corridor, Nelson Morris spoke.
“Prince Nelson, you’re well informed!” Billy smiled faintly.
“Natasha is self-willed. Please don’t take her offense to heart. I apologize on her behalf,” Nelson Morris said.
“It’s nothing,” Billy responded.
“What do you think of Tristen George?” Nelson Morris suddenly asked.
“Tristen George?” Billy was slightly stunned. “Are you referring to the man who had a conflict with your princess at the ‘Joy Restaurant’?”
He really didn’t know the name of the man in the gray robe.
“That’s right!” Nelson Morris nodded.
“He should be someone invited by your big brother, right?” Billy asked back.
Since he appeared here not on Nelson Morris’s side, it was obvious that he was on the opposite side, most likely because of the matter of the Forbidden Phantom Valley.
“Yeah!” Nelson Morris looked serious. “There’s something Mr Billy may not know yet.”
“According to what Elder Hank said, just half an hour ago, Natasha took people from the palace to settle accounts with him, and there was a strong person at the eighth rank Divine Realm among them.”
“As expected,” Billy smiled faintly.
As he left the restaurant, he knew that Natasha Morris would not let it go easily, so he kindly reminded Tristen George to be careful.
“Do you know what the outcome was?” Nelson Morris continued.
“Unless something unexpected happened, they probably didn’t manage to capture him, right?” Billy replied.
“More than that!” Nelson Morris responded.
“Out of the five people Natasha brought, except for the eighth-rank Divine Realm expert, he killed all the other four.”
“And after battling him for dozens of rounds, he chopped off the arm of the eighth-rank Divine Realm expert with a single blow.”
“If it weren’t for my big brother rushing over after knowing the news, Natasha might have been dead by now.”
“Oh?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
Although he had guessed earlier that Tristen George might have the strength of an eighth-rank Divine Realm, hearing it with his own ears still surprised him.
“How did your big brother handle it later?” Billy asked after a pause.
“He made Natasha kneel in front of Tristen George and kowtow thirty times, breaking her forehead before stopping.” Nelson Morris spoke up.
“It seems like your big brother values him a lot!” Billy chuckled.
“The matter of the Forbidden Phantom Valley is a top priority for both me and my big brother,” Nelson Morris said again.
“Today, it’s all thanks to Tristen George not getting into trouble; otherwise, my big brother might have personally killed Natasha.”
“I understand!” Billy replied. “Do you know Tristen George’s background?”
“I don’t know where my big brother found him!” Nelson Morris shook his head. “I had someone look into his information, but there were no results.”
“One thing is certain, he’s probably not from Rainbow Moon Empire, but where exactly he’s from is unclear.”
“Is that so?” Billy looked somewhat surprised.
“Yeah!” Nelson Morris nodded. “From what I know, among the people my big brother invited this time, he should be the strongest.”
Speaking of this, he hesitated before asking, “Mr Billy, if you were to confront him, what are your chances of winning?”
“It’s hard to say!” Billy shook his head. “I haven’t seen him make a move personally, so maybe around fifty percent.”
“Understood!” Nelson Morris nodded with a slightly solemn expression.
“However, Prince Nelson, rest assured, there’s one thing I can guarantee. If he comes after you, I can at least ensure your safety,” Billy added.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” Nelson Morris responded.
“Will your big brother also enter the Forbidden Phantom Valley?” Billy continued.
“Yeah!” Nelson Morris nodded.
“Father’s intention is that this trip to the Forbidden Phantom Valley is an opportunity for the two of us to gain experience, so he asked us to each bring fifty people.”
“Understood!” Billy inquired again, “Do you know the situation of the personnel from the other three empires entering the Forbidden Phantom Valley this time?”
“Not yet!” Nelson Morris shook his head. “I guess that they probably won’t be too weak, especially the people sent by Crimson Flame Empire.”
“Unless something unexpected happens, there’s a good chance that among the entrants, there will be strong individuals comparable to the ninth-rank Divine Realm.”
“Yeah!” Billy nodded slightly.
He had mentally prepared for this, but he was worried if there might be even stronger entities.
“Prince Nelson!”
Just then, a man dressed in court attire hurried over.
“What’s the matter?” Nelson Morris asked.
“The Emperor summons you to the palace, saying there’s something urgent!” the man responded with a bow.
“Do you know what it’s about?” Nelson Morris asked, slightly puzzled.
“I don’t know!” the man replied again.
“Mr Billy, sorry, it seems my father’s summon might be about the Forbidden Phantom Valley…” Nelson Morris looked at Billy after a brief thought.
“Prince Nelson, just go ahead. We can talk again tomorrow!” Billy replied.
“Okay!” Nelson Morris apologized once again before leaving with the man.
Billy then turned and headed back towards the grand hall.
“Hmm?”
Just as he took a few steps, a hint of surprise flashed in Billy’s eyes.
