I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 153 --Where Is My Treasury?

Listening to this crowd heap flattery upon flattery, Daniel felt a wave of disgust rise in his chest.

He walked forward directly. "You want to see what I can do? Fine. But I do have to wonder how much wealth you actually possess."

"Pfft... Hahaha!"

The king burst into laughter the moment he heard that.

"I sit atop an entire kingdom! The rare treasures in my royal treasury are beyond counting!"

His tone dripped with pride. "If I so wished, I could pave the entire Imperial City with treasure!"

Daniel’s eyes lit up.

Raising Stellar Wrath, he smiled. "So you really are rich."

The king sneered. "Of course. I could casually take out a tiny fraction of my treasures and crush you to death with them."

Daniel bared his teeth in a savage grin and swung Stellar Wrath.

"Then I’d very much like to see that."

[Skyfall Strike]!

[Permafrost Prison]!

[Thunder Abyss]!

Apocalyptic forbidden spells erupted into existence, blanketing the entire royal palace in the blink of an eye!

"Enemy attack!"

"The Royal Guard! Protect His Majesty at once! Protect the king!"

"This man really is an assassin! What are you useless guards even doing?!"

The elite royal protectors at the king’s side—those transcendent legendary-grade experts—felt that aura of absolute destruction and their expressions changed drastically.

Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that someone would actually dare strike at the king—the very ruler of the kingdom!

Several Transcendent Peak powerhouses moved at once to shield the king, intending to spirit him away.

Daniel coldly threw out a single sentence:

"You idiots aren’t going anywhere."

Without another word, he directly poured one thousand points of Immortal Singularity into his skills.

[Wind’s Embrace]!

With that thousand points of Immortal Singularity reinforcing it, this restraining skill became absurdly powerful.

Even if those Transcendent Peak guards wanted to break through it, they simply did not have enough Immortal Singularity to pour into the attempt.

At this moment, this move was a dead end.

The Transcendent Peak experts could do nothing but stare helplessly as meteor-like rain of fire smashed the entire palace into the ground.

Countless kingdom powerhouses died on the spot.

-100000000!

-100000000!

-100000000!

[Ding! You have killed the transcendent legendary-grade expert "Cassius"! Obtained gold coins +950,000! Obtained "Blade of the Holy Kingdom (legendary-grade)"!]

[Ding! You have killed the transcendent legendary-grade expert "Wangor"! Obtained gold coins +910,000! Obtained "Guardian Shield of the Holy Kingdom (legendary-grade)"!]

[Ding! You have killed the transcendent legendary-grade expert "Chester"! Obtained gold coins +980,000! Obtained "Silver Armor of the Holy Kingdom (legendary-grade)"!]

Roar—!

At that very moment, a layer of earthen-yellow light suddenly burst forth from the Holy Kingdom’s king, wrapping his entire body tightly within it.

But as the forbidden spells continued their relentless destruction, that yellow radiance grew thinner and thinner.

Daniel swept his gaze across the ruins. Aside from the king, not a single living soul remained in the palace.

Only then did he stop.

The forbidden spells ceased.

By now, the Holy Kingdom’s king was pale as paper.

A ruler of an entire nation—yet at this moment of life and death, he had been frightened nearly out of his wits.

Daniel stared at him and asked in an unhurried tone,

"So... where is my treasury?"

The Holy Kingdom’s king froze.

Wait—what?

That was his treasury. Since when had it become Daniel’s?!

But the moment he looked into Daniel’s cold, expressionless face, he understood instantly.

The only reason he was still alive had nothing to do with national fortune protecting his body.

It was simply because Daniel had chosen to spare him.

Hands trembling, the king fumbled a key out of his robes and threw it toward Daniel.

"It... it’s inside the palace. That’s the key."

Daniel’s gaze locked onto the key.

[Flash]!

He appeared at the spot where it was about to land and caught it firmly in his hand.

In that brief instant, the Holy Kingdom’s king used some unknown secret art and vanished with a whoosh.

It was hardly surprising that the ruler of an entire kingdom had a few life-saving methods hidden away.

Daniel did not care in the slightest.

After all, the mission had made it perfectly clear: his target was the Empyrean Faction. It had never specified how he was supposed to treat the Holy Faction.

He was certain that most people who received this mission would obediently join the Holy Faction and sell their lives for the king.

But he would not.

As long as one had enough strength, what did a king amount to?

Rules were made for the weak.

The strong could not only ignore rules—they could personally rewrite them.

Just like now.

So what if he killed the king of the Holy Kingdom?

Would the Holy Kingdom collapse immediately?

If it would not, then he might as well devour the Holy Kingdom’s wealth first, then slowly have his fun with the Empyrean Faction.

...

The Holy Kingdom’s treasury really was inside the palace.

The entire palace had been plowed over again and again by forbidden spells, leaving ruins and broken walls everywhere.

And yet this place alone still retained a stretch of relatively intact structures.

With the key in hand, Daniel opened the doors to the Holy Kingdom’s royal treasury.

Rumble—!

The moment the doors swung open, he froze.

Everywhere he looked, dazzling treasures were piled up like mountains, too many to count.

There were countless things inside that even he had never seen before.

Daniel did not stand on ceremony.

He looted the entire treasury clean.

[Ding! You obtained "Time Reversal Magic Array (Divine-grade · Sealed)" ×1!]

The flood of system notifications exploding in his ears like a tidal wave filled Daniel with delight.

Divine-grade!

A quality above even supreme-grade—Divine-grade!

Divine-grade treasures were the very pinnacle of all items!

In all his previous lives, he had only ever heard of such a rank. Yet today, his backpack had been stuffed full of them!

One had to remember—this was an otherworldly plane, unrestricted by the game version.

Theoretically, treasures of any rank could appear here.

So obtaining Divine-grade items was not strange at all.

But in the Stellar World Zone, such a thing would have been utterly unimaginable!

Under normal circumstances, even supreme-grade items were already objects of desperate yearning beyond the reach of countless players.

At that moment, another system notification suddenly rang out!

[Heavenscar Announcement: The Human Race’s "Faustus" has bathed the Holy Kingdom’s royal palace in blood and attempted to assassinate the Holy Kingdom’s king! The king of the Holy Kingdom has now issued a royal decree declaring the Human Race’s Faustus the eternal enemy of the Holy Kingdom—from this day onward, all Holy Kingdom powerhouses shall kill him on sight!]

[Heavenscar Announcement: The Human Race’s "Faustus," mighty beyond measure, has destroyed the Imperial City of the Holy Kingdom! Special reward granted: Title "Extreme Assassin (supreme-grade)"!]

Listening to the announcements ringing in his ears, a faint smile slowly rose on Daniel’s lips.
