Chapter 4101 What makes him so special?
Since he was to serve His Highness, he could not be negligent... This was another order from His Highness after countless years, and the Crimson Grand Duke was somewhat excited.
His mind stirred slightly.
The last time I met Your Highness was in that rather special little world called [Azure].
I remember His Highness once mentioned that he would come in person if he had time... Although His Highness has not been able to make time to come since then, the Crimson Grand Duke has not urged him at all.
What kind of logic is it for a subject to urge the royal family, especially His Highness the heir?
All he needs to do is quietly guard this [Void Arena].
However, even if His Highness cannot come, he cannot use this as an excuse to go, since it seems that the royal family's secret plan has succeeded...
As a descendant of the empire, it's really not wise to keep jumping around in front of the [Root]... After all, if you keep jumping around, you might just disappear.
His survival from the empire's collapse is due not only to the unique features of the Void Arena, but most importantly, to his extreme caution (and survivability)...
"Well, since Your Highness isn't coming on your own initiative, I certainly can't go there myself... Could I send someone to Your Highness's side to be at his beck and call?"
Actually, the Crimson Grand Duke had a similar idea last time when they were in Azure, but at the time he didn't know he would meet His Highness, and he didn't have any suitable people with him.
【Crimson Grand Duke】Lin Yuan quickly thought of some of the people he had cultivated over the years, and soon made a plan.
He lightly tapped his finger on the armrest of the throne. "Venus."
A halo of light suddenly appeared on the floor, and then a man with slightly dark skin, dressed in a suit, and with a serious expression slowly walked out from the halo.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
[Crimson Grand Duke] said calmly, "There was a man named Papillon who once bought a slave here. He should be a half-demon boy. Check the information on this half-demon boy."
Too many combat slaves have entered the Void Arena, and not every one of them will be remembered by the Crimson Duke. Only those who survive and demonstrate sufficient value will come into his sight.
Venus was freed from slavery by becoming the victor.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Venus is now a mid-to-upper-level manager in the arena, and he prefers internal affairs work. Most of the buying and selling of slaves goes through his hands.
Soon, information about the demon's son was presented to the Crimson Grand Duke.
Then, the Crimson Grand Duke opened a passage leading to the Science Side—Venus immediately saw a sapphire-like planet at the other end of the passage.
“This is… [Marindor]?” A look of surprise appeared on Venus’s calm face.
“Indeed, it is indeed Marindo, the ancestral star of the [Abrier] Empire.” [Crimson Grand Duke] chuckled. “You should be familiar with it.”
Venus nodded calmly. Although he was not from the [Abriel] Empire, as a [Science Side] person, he was naturally familiar with the empire's ancestral planet.
“Very well, Venus, take this document over.” The Crimson Grand Duke commanded like a supreme monarch, “Then, you will remain there as an attendant. Remember, all of that gentleman’s orders are superior to mine…”
Faced with the Crimson Grand Duke's highly impactful statement, Venus remained calm and asked, "Then, Master, should I listen to you, or to that gentleman I've never met?"
"Didn't you understand what I mean? All orders are above me." [Crimson Grand Duke] said calmly, "But you are still a member of the arena and can use all the powers within your authority."
This was even more contradictory, but Venus finally nodded. "I understand."
Although he has been freed from his status as a slave in the arena, he is still the private property of the Crimson Grand Duke.
Perhaps, from the moment I first stepped into this arena, there was no possibility of freedom left?
Years have passed, and Venus has long since accepted this fate.
As for resistance.
The Crimson Grand Duke is the supreme being of the Sun...
……
……
【Marindor】, 【Babillon】, the Lord's estate.
roar--!!!
The sleeping Titan King Kong was now awakened. Perhaps because it was stimulated awake from its deep sleep, it instantly pounded its chest wildly and let out a deafening roar.
At the same time, the metal ring around the neck of the demon boy who was sitting curled up with his knees drawn up also lit up green... As if he had received some kind of signal, the demon boy slowly got up.
One is a Titan King Kong with royal blood, and the other is a demon-hybrid boy with a terrifying 27-game winning streak in the Void Arena.
This is a very exciting gladiatorial battle.
But at that moment, Titan King Kong, after roaring to the sky, suddenly charged towards the audience seats!
Its arms were raised high, and its fists slammed wildly against the energy barrier, clearly out of control.
"Lord Babilon, it seems you haven't trained this Titan King Kong well." Li Guo smiled faintly, with an attitude of watching a joke.
[Babilon] Qing smiled slightly and said, "The Titan that has lost its wildness has lost everything. From the moment I obtained it, I never thought of taming it... Moreover, as an audience member, don't we appreciate its ferocity even more?"
Li Guo remained noncommittal, simply resting his chin on his hand and looking at Boss Luo beside him.
At tonight's banquet, her gaze was actually on this place for half the time.
“I’m even more curious about this half-breed demon boy now,” Francis suddenly said, his gaze fixed on the demon boy.
The record of 27 consecutive wins in the Void Arena is indeed very high, but he knows that there are many more 50-time champions, 60-time champions... and even 100-time champions in the Void Arena.
He felt that [Babilon] was actually exaggerating (bragging)... What the hell is the owner of [Void Arena] on good terms with?
Given his position as the regional president of the "science sector," people wouldn't even give him a second glance.
Yes, President Francis is actually a regular at the Void Arena, and occasionally he can even catch the Crimson Duke in person, but there is always a layer of mystery between them, and they have never even had a chance to talk.
"That boy is about to make his move." Miss Sheryl suddenly exclaimed softly, instinctively covering her small mouth that could utter the "voice of the gods."
Inside the arena, the handsome demon boy did indeed make a move. With a light step, he flashed behind Titan King Kong's head, his five fingers tightly clenched together, and suddenly thrust out!
This is designed to deal direct, fatal damage.
"Roar--!!!"
Titan Kong was instantly struck on the back of the head with a terrifying attack, and he fell to the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented... The entire manor shook violently!
Is the battle really over just like that?
not at all!
The fallen Titan King Kong instantly unleashed a massive hand that slammed down on the demon boy!
The demonic boy raised his arms high, managing to withstand hands hundreds of times the size of his body, his frail frame unleashing incredible power.
At the same time, the battle between the two sides officially began.
This was not a brutal massacre with a huge disparity in strength, but a bloody battle between evenly matched forces. It seemed that within the demon boy's body lay a beast that was in no way inferior to the Titan King Kong with the bloodline of a king!
"Ah...this child is so outstanding, I really want to hold him in my arms and cherish him!"
Some of the elaborately made-up women had their eyes shining, and some even had their legs clenched together!
"Hahaha, kill him!! Titan King Kong!! Kill the son of the devil!"
Most male nobles were more excited by the Titan's brutality, wildness, and size!
It wasn't exactly a series of disgraceful acts; it was just average.
Li Guo coldly observed the fervent imperial nobles in the audience, feeling a pang of displeasure, yet he made no attempt to stop them. At least to the empire, these people possessed a cruel and violent side, an aggressive nature, which was better than cowardice and incompetence.
But there were only a few.
Seeing that the audience's enthusiasm had been ignited by the fighting in the arena, Lord Papillon smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, Lord Francis, in the past, the winners of gladiatorial combat have always received prizes."
His words successfully attracted the attention of both Li Guo and Francis.
[Babilon] said slowly, "Why don't we make a small bet on which side will win this gladiatorial contest?"
Francis seemed to instantly become interested, his eyes lighting up slightly. "Lord Babylon, how does the betting work, and what are the prizes?"
Li Guojing awaits further developments.
[Babilon] slightly opened his hands, and a huge light screen appeared directly in the stands. "This is a resource-rich, pristine planet. Its current civilization level is 0.73, and its coordinates are located in the Chaotic Starfield."
The prize is a resource-rich planet, which is already a huge fortune for many nobles in the arena... After all, apart from the great nobles and royalty, it is difficult for nobles of average size to acquire new fiefdoms.
The fiefdoms had long been divided up by the ancient nobles.
However, the nobles in the audience were just watching the spectacle—such a betting game, which served as a "prize," was clearly not open to them.
This is a "little game" specially designed by Lord Papillon for President Francis, and perhaps now it also includes His Highness Anle?
On that day, given the wealth of the princess and President Francis, even a rare resource-rich star wouldn't have cared too much... but the feeling of winning is often very pleasant.
Francis glanced at the corner of the planet displayed on the screen. "It's a very beautiful planet. Since it's a gamble, I can't be stingy. Here's what I'll do: I also have some businesses, including two planets that haven't been developed yet. Although the initial exploration only revealed moderate resources, the advantage is that these two planets are twin planets, which is quite unique."
"Hahaha, Lord Francis!" Lord [Babilon] laughed heartily, "You underestimate me, don't you? As the host, how could I possibly play against such an honored guest? I was referring to the prizes, not the actual betting!"
Has it made a move? Is this old fox actually planning to give it away for free?
However, it would be fine if only His Highness Anle or President Francis were present... But if both of them were present, it could backfire and offend both sides.
Francis glanced at Babylon meaningfully, then his gaze fell on Princess Anle, and he said with a faint smile, "Your Highness Anle, which one do you favor more? Titan King Kong, or the Demon Child?"
Suddenly, Li Guo's beautiful eyes fell on Boss Luo, and her voice was gentle with a hint of doting, "Li Wei, who do you think will win?"
This question instantly shocked the group of nobles who were watching the drama unfold, and even the blood-pumping battle seemed less exciting!
[Anle] When did Your Highness start asking the male servant beside you for advice when making decisions...? What the hell? Is he really the official boyfriend, and not just one of those playthings from before?
No, what gives him the right?
[Babilon]'s eyes narrowed slightly. Li Guo's attitude was a mystery, but regardless of whether Li Guo truly favored this Li Wei, at least his posture was there... He really should consider Leonardo's well-being and whether he should remove some obstacles.
Miss Sheryl looked at the man beside Princess Anle with a hint of curiosity.
She already knew about Princess Anle of Abrier... and as a woman herself, she sometimes even envied her.
"He really does have a handsome face..."
Since she entered, she has always adhered to her role as Francis's companion, never glancing to the side. The occasional eye contact she makes is always focused on Francis, maximizing her emotional value.
It was only by taking this opportunity that she could get a full look at Princess Anle's "boyfriend".
Miss Shirley didn't have any prejudice against the man who was attached to Princess Anle; on the contrary, she felt a strange sense of empathy for him.
When one lacks the ability to protect oneself, actively seeking refuge with the powerful is a rational choice.
Miss Sheryl feels that she is actually quite shameless, but she is never ashamed of it. This is her way of surviving. This is a gold digger's understanding of a gold digger!
"Don't feel pressured. Just tell me which one you think is better," Li Guo said calmly.
Boss Luo, however, paid no attention to the gazes of others and shook his head slightly, saying, "Whether it's Titan King Kong or that demon boy, they are both very powerful in my opinion, making it difficult to choose."
--really.
[Babilon] sneered inwardly. This kid who popped out of nowhere wasn't stupid enough to think he could actually make decisions for Li Guo.
However, he immediately abandoned his contempt. This kid was no arrogant fool; Leonardo posed a greater threat.
"Oh? You're not going to choose, or you're afraid to choose?" Li Guo narrowed his eyes. "Are you afraid that Lord Babilon will blame you?"
—TM's Li Guo!
[Babilon] said with a slightly aggrieved tone, "What are you saying, Your Highness? I am utterly loyal to the Empire. Mr. Li Wei is your close friend. How could I possibly blame him? Your Highness, aren't you putting this old minister in an unjust position?"
“I am well aware of Lord Babylon’s loyalty,” Li Guo said with a slight smile. “It’s just that my Li Wei is a little nervous.”
[Babilon] smiled and said, "Your Highness Li Wei, which one do you favor?"
He even addressed him as "Your Highness," and there was no sign of hypocrisy whatsoever... at least not outwardly. The nobles were all secretly amazed by Lord Papillon's composure at this moment.
If this Li Wei were really a prince, that would be one thing, but he's just someone who's attached to Li Guo!
But what is the status of the Lord of Babylon?
The head of the former empress's maternal family, and also the empress's nephew!
The pressure suddenly fell on the "boyfriend" that Princess Anle had officially announced... He was like a clueless lamb who had suddenly stumbled into the most dangerous vortex of power in the Abriel Empire.
Under everyone's gaze, "Li Wei" pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Then, let fate decide."
As he spoke, Boss Luo casually took out an unidentified coin. "The front side is Titan, and the back side is Demon Boy."
[Babilon] was taken aback.
Li Guo's gaze towards Li Wei grew increasingly appreciative.
Boss Luo casually tossed a coin, which landed on the back of his hand, and then slowly moved it away under the gaze of [Babilon].
front.
Titan!
"Then I'll choose this one." Li Guo waved his hand and said, "Lord Papillon, I choose Titan King Kong!"
