Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2331 - 707: The Grand Finale (Part 2)_3
"Are you planning to kill me now? No longer wanting to spend the rest of your life with me?" Queen Jiabao asked fearlessly, "I realize now how cheap your love really is!"
"The wife belongs to others, the son is your own. I’m not even prepared to have a son, what do I need you for?" Richard’s gaze was akin to a gaping maw that could devour Jiabao whole, "Love is love, hatred is hatred, can’t you even distinguish between the two? The woman I want is not like you. If you are to die by someone’s hand, it might as well be by mine!"
"You don’t want a son? How can you say that without blushing? If you truly didn’t want those two sons, why did you tip us off through the Shadow Servant?" Queen Jiabao sneered, exposing Richard’s hypocritical facade, "In your heart, principles weigh more than anything else, don’t they? My dear True Martial Prince, you treasure your reputation and status, though you always refuse to admit it, often posing with an air of detachment!"
"Wench! Our conversation feels too civilized!" Richard glared at Jiabao, his teeth grinding harshly, "If you have any guts, repeat what you just said in front of me!"
It’s no surprise that Richard was so upset. Fortunately, Xiao Bei was leading a pursuit of the Demon Clan’s army within the Dorott Duchy; otherwise, Jiabao’s words would have caused an uproar. Although Richard’s initial notification to the crystal-mist-affected Jiabao and Ingricheba was for the safety of his sons, it indirectly resulted in the deaths of two human Magic Tutors, an irrefutable fact.
"Feeling guilty? Did I hit the mark?" Jiabao looked defiant, as if she had already resigned herself to life or death, laughing heartily at Richard, "Look at this, this is the true face of our Aegean Saint Xiao!"
Richard waved his hand, and the palace guards filed out the door, with Fat Luo closing the wooden doors before leaving.
"I’ll give you one last chance. What are you really here for today? If you’re here for a mere verbal spat, I’ll make you face the consequences now." Lord Saint Xiao stroked his freshly shaved head and slowly rose, drawing the Snow Iron Dragon from its sheath, pointing a chilling gleam directly at the Queen of Lich’s lips.
His gaze was not one of jest.
"I came to challenge you. When the sun rises tomorrow, we will await your arrival at the ’Space-Time Rift’ under the Bering Mountains! Three versus three, a fair competition!" Under this gaze, Queen Jiabao swallowed the words of mockery she had prepared and confessed her purpose obediently, "This battle is the final one, regardless of victory or defeat, it will put an end to this war! If we win, the Dumb Moon returns to Aegean next year, ’Space-Time Rift’ opens again, and Aegean must not invade the Demon World! If we lose, we will naturally accept our fate, whether by death or flight, and never set foot in Aegean again!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Agreed!"
"Not enough! I want you to notify all forces of Aegean Continent, swear upon the name of Kampas, the war god!" Jiabao shook her head, "This matter is of great importance, I must guard against you Aegean people going back on your word."
"You seem confident in winning against me?" Richard chuckled dryly, "You sound quite sure of it. Pardon my boldness, but what gives you such confidence? Don’t you know I’m a priest? I’m not some desperate fool risking my life with just my head on my shoulders. The other day, Monroe put most of my equipment into cooldown with the ’Black Hole Domain’; things are different now!"
"I know how formidable you are, just having a few pets and the spirit of bravery and wisdom, right? We also have the help of the ancient crocodile king of Piachinta! It stands as a supreme being just like your Aegean Holy Giant Dragon. Perhaps you didn’t know, even your most revered Holy Giant Dragon was imprisoned by the ancient crocodile king for over ten thousand years!" Jiabao declared proudly, "It’s said it’s a three-on-three duel, not a brawl. With it, plus me and Ingricheba, isn’t that enough to deal with your three champions from Florence?"
"So it’s the ancient crocodile king of Piachinta entering the battle, not Mephisto? Ha! I see, the Flame Pope must be too scared! Look at your demonic pets, what a sorry lot!" Richard whistled a rogue tune, "And the two Blood Infants? I agreed to the three-on-three, shouldn’t you return them to me first? A gentleman’s duel shouldn’t endanger family, it’s just too unpleasant!"
"Tomorrow’s battle, we’ll naturally return the two Blood Infants to you beforehand, you need not doubt our credibility. Ingricheba has been taking excellent care of them in the Netherworld Temple! But I also hope tomorrow you can have Helen dissolve the Soul Contract with Nirwinke!" Jiabao’s fair face was expressionless, "Alright, now that the main affairs are discussed, immediately use the bone-link to declare this matter to the world, I need to confirm this with each Aegean king individually!"
"So in the end, it’s all because you’re afraid of Florence ganging up on you three." Richard smacked his lips, but still pulled out the bone-link box.
This round of extensive communications took Richard at least two hours, all Aegean rulers were slippery, saying this matter was for Lord Richard to decide, however you decide, we will comply without objection.
"Feeling reassured now? With so many kings as guarantee, even if the ’Space-Time Rift’ reopens next year and I’m gone, the Demon World won’t risk an invasion." Richard shrugged at Jiabao, "Not to sound pessimistic, but have you considered the possibility of your defeat?"
