Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 505 - 334 Imperial Princess_2

Ji Xinghuo found An Yitian quite interesting, without the haughtiness of a senior or a legend, lively and sincere in personality, and humorous in conversation—he was a friend worth making.

His sister, An Zhisu, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, cold as ice, not fond of talking, as if she had a social phobia.

This created a stark contrast with their professions.

One with a fiery passion and liveliness, while the other, despite being a "fiery madman," was cold as frost, making a deep impression at first sight.

During their pleasant chat, the plane landed at Ivangrad’s airport.

After disembarking, Ji Xinghuo exchanged contact information with the siblings, agreed to hang out if the opportunity arose, completed the entry procedures, and then took off from the airport.

He did not fly very fast to avoid triggering Ivangrad’s air defense systems. This was the New Roman Empire, where the air defense systems were much more powerful than those of the Indi Kingdom, and with several Heavenly Kings around, causing trouble was not advisable.

It was midsummer, and the weather in Ivangrad was not particularly hot; skyscrapers were everywhere, but the architectural style was distinctly unique.

Many of the building designs featured round, pointed tops, creating a strong religious atmosphere.

There were also retro stone palaces, magnificent and majestic.

This historical city, in the 23rd century, once again became the capital of the Roman Empire, although this "Rome" was not exactly orthodox.

After all, a new Luo is still a Luo.

In the distance, a huge Silver Palace was located in the center of Ivangrad, covering a vast area, with sharply defined architectural angles like a fortress, almost as if cast from steel.

That was the Imperial Palace.

Due to its unique, robust architectural style, people referred to it as the "Iron Palace."

Ji Xinghuo navigated between buildings, with crowds swarming the streets below. Some people looked up to see him but were not overly surprised. In those days, many participants arriving for the Global Marathon were a common sight in the skies.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo reached a luxurious hotel by the Black Coast where members of the Emperor Star Club were staying.

Zhao Manying had already completed the procedures for him; all he had to do was register.

Through electromagnetic induction, he scanned the hotel; Zhao Manying was lying alone on the suite’s balcony, wearing a bikini, sunbathing.

Ji Xinghuo flew over to the balcony.

"You’re here!"

Zhao Manying showed a delighted face and sat up.

Ji Xinghuo bent down and gave her a light kiss, admiring her tall, perfect figure, and asked with a smile, "No training today?"

"Training’s all done, tactics are all set, just waiting to claim victory tomorrow." Zhao Manying relaxed, brimming with confidence, her strength had greatly increased since merging with the True Eye, having not lost a single match so far.

She beckoned, and a set of casual clothes flew out from the room, "I bought these clothes for you, change quickly, let’s go out."

"Okay."

Ji Xinghuo quickly changed into the clothes, a short-sleeve shirt and shorts, along with a pair of stylish sunglasses, looking cool and relaxed.

The only mismatch was the pair of silver and black running shoes he wore.

Zhao Manying knew these were Sky-controlling Flying Shoes and couldn’t be exchanged.

She also put on a matching outfit, revealing her fair shoulders, putting on sunglasses, her long legs accentuating her youthful allure.

"What about Qing Hong?"

"I left it at home." Ji Xinghuo felt a bit helpless mentioning Qing Hong, "Ever since it learned how to surf the internet, it’s been lying at home watching dramas all day and orders delivery dozens of times a day, spending millions of Ya Yuan in half a month."

Zhao Manying chuckled lightly, "Let it eat, you’re not short of money anyway."

"It’s not the money I’m worried about, but that it might turn into a homebody. It’s already gotten quite fat." Ji Xinghuo said with a speechless expression.

He had just returned to Earth recently and had the sudden idea to teach Qing Hong how to read.

The intelligence of Qing Hong was about that of a seven- or eight-year-old child; it quickly learned hundreds of words, then became hopelessly addicted to the internet.

It seldom wanted to go outdoors whenever called.

If it weren’t for the housekeeping robots cleaning up, the house would have turned into a dump long ago.

"Let’s go."

Zhao Manying happily linked arms with Ji Xinghuo, and they left the hotel together. Ivangrad is a world-famous tourist destination, with many modern architectural marvels as well as grand historical sites preserved.

That afternoon, the two visited the history museum, church, and ruins left from Roman times, among other places.

Because they wore sunglasses and were in disguise, no one recognized them.

By evening,

when the weather had cooled, the couple enjoyed dinner in a restaurant by the Black Sea, admiring Ivangrad’s nighttime scenery.

"How’s the betting going?" Ji Xinghuo suddenly remembered.

Zhao Manying arrived a few days earlier with her team and said, "I have selected several bookmakers with the best reputations and the strongest finances, and I have placed my bets with them to ensure their ability to provide payouts."

She operated her smartphone a bit and said, "Take a look."

After checking, Ji Xinghuo found that his own odds were still very low, currently about 1 to 18.

"Is there a Global Marathon market?" he noticed some other content.

"There have always been companies setting up books for the Global Marathon. Since the Sun King announced his participation, it has become even more popular than previous editions," Zhao Manying explained.

Ji Xinghuo saw his name on it.

The most favored was naturally the Sun King, with extremely low odds, indicating that all the major bookmakers were confident in his victory.

While his own odds were very high.

The odds for other competitors were also high, with predictions giving the Sun King over a 95% chance of winning, and everyone else together less than 5%.

"Should we bet?" Zhao Manying asked.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment but eventually shook his head, "Let’s not."

Even with Sky-controlling Flying Shoes, he was not certain he could win the Global Marathon championship; there were too many variables in this race, and the key to winning was not just on the track. He had a premonition that there would inevitably be external factors interfering.

By comparison, he was more confident about defeating Li Xuan.

It was almost a sure thing.

"Playing it safe is good," Zhao Manying nodded slightly and continued, "I have prepared 50 billion for betting. How much are you planning to bet?"

"I’ll also throw in 50 billion," he replied.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t care much, with the current odds, this 50 billion could turn into 900 billion.

What he wanted more was the Ether Crystal, "Is there a company that accepts bets in Ether Crystals and also pays out in them?"

"I’ve had someone check, no," Zhao Manying also felt it was a pity.

"What a shame..."

Ji Xinghuo was speaking when several streaks of light flashed across the distant night sky, moving at high speed towards them. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Zhao Manying also saw the arrivals, surprise apparent in her eyes.

There were three people, two men and a woman.

The leader was the young woman in the middle, with black hair and blue eyes, her hair tied back, wearing a subtle crown on her head, dressed in a fitted battle suit, with a pair of frosty wings made of cold air behind her, a gun hanging at her waist, and a longsword, with a Superpower Ring on each hand.

This luxurious equipment clearly indicated her strength and status.

The two men behind her were Legendary fighters, obviously the young woman’s bodyguards.

An aura of coldness enveloped the area.

The trio landed on the beach amidst the astonished looks of many patrons at the seaside restaurant and approached Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying.

"Your Highness!"

"Princess Sofia!"

Many recognized the identity of the newcomer, and they stood up to salute her as the restaurant manager hurriedly went to greet her warmly.

Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying exchanged glances.

Both had heard about this Imperial Princess.

The Steel Emperor had many Imperial Concubines and lovers, and over two centuries did not stop producing offspring. Not including illegitimate children, there were more than fifty well-documented sons and daughters, creating a huge Imperial Family with thousands of direct descendants.

However, among these many descendants, fewer than a handful were favored, all of them gifted Mutants.

One of them was Princess Sofia.

She is the granddaughter of the Steel Emperor, born more than fifty years ago and showed great talent even before adulthood, hence was raised at the Steel Emperor’s side.

Sofia lived up to expectations, advancing to a Super Mutant at 27 and becoming a Legendary figure at 42.

She later climbed up the Legendary rankings.

Now at 54, she holds the 235th spot on the Legendary leaderboard.

In the Imperial Family of the New Roman Empire, Sofia’s talent is second only to the Steel Emperor’s, thus her position is secure and unshakeable. She frequently appears in public, familiar to the Empire’s citizens, globally recognized, and extremely popular.

Princess Sofia accepted the restaurant manager’s hand kissing and quietly instructed him for a few moments.

She then waved to the surrounding patrons with great friendliness.

Afterward, she approached Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying with a smiling face and greeted, "Sword Immortal madam, Mr. Ji, welcome to Ivangrad."
