CHAPTER 1680: CHAPTER 1700: THE HONORABLE ENVOY

"Swipe~" Everyone’s eyes turned to Yusuf Zuck and the Princess, especially Casen Torres, whose gaze was as sharp as a knife, ready to strike with thunderous force if Yusuf and the Princess made any sudden moves.

Princess was very nervous; it was her first time experiencing such a situation. Moreover, she had a grudge against Casen Torres, so if she fell into his hands, her fate would be worse than death.

"No need to remove it," Yusuf whispered in her ear, then suddenly unleashed a force that pushed the surrounding people back several steps. At the same time, he coldly huffed, "You are not qualified to make me remove my hat." Yusuf spoke coldly, "Lennon Presley, when leaving, laid traps for you, Casen Torres. That woman is truly wicked!"

"Hmm? What do you mean? Who are you? You are not one of my men?" Casen Torres trembled all over, his cape flapping, as he shouted, "Retreat, encircle!"

"Swish, swish, swish, swish~" Upon Casen’s command, the people surrounding Yusuf suddenly retreated like a tide, while from other directions, eighteen individuals jumped into the battle circle, and eighteen majestic divine pets immediately soared into the sky, revolving and tightly enclosing Yusuf and the Princess in the center.

This was Casen Torres’ tactic; in his Northern Camp, no one could act recklessly!

However, despite her nervousness, the Princess saw that Yusuf seemed calm and confident, and he sneered, "Who am I? You’ve been used by Lennon Presley and still don’t realize it?"

"Hmm, if you don’t say who you are, I shall issue a slaughter order!" Casen said coldly.

"Naturally, I am also sent by the King!" Yusuf had held the suspense for quite a while before revealing his identity.

Of course, he did this to make it seem more realistic; otherwise, if he pulled out the token when Casen asked a few questions, it would appear fake.

"Hmm? You’re also sent by the King?" Surely enough, Casen was taken aback and was confused; why would the King send several teams?

"So I said you were used by Lennon Presley. Humph." Yusuf huffed coldly, deliberately making Casen think he was familiar with Lennon Presley due to some personal grudges!

"Do you have any token?" Casen’s tone softened slightly.

"Without a token, how dare I discuss matters with the high and mighty Casen Torres here?"

"Let me see the token!" Casen reached out.

"Do you think it’s appropriate to show the King’s token here?" Yusuf retorted.

"This..." Casen hesitated.

At this time, Yusuf continued, "If not for Lennon Presley purposely drawing your attention to us, we wouldn’t reveal our identities. Could Casen Torres lend me your ear for a moment?"

"Very well, please move to the tent!" Casen made a gesture, though he remained fully alert.

Yusuf took the Princess’s hand and strode into the tent beside the stage.

Inside the tent, except for a throne, there was nothing else.

"Cover your face tightly, stand behind me; this way even if Casen tries to probe with Divine Consciousness, he has to pass through me first!"

"Understood." The Princess took two steps back and took out a black cloth to cover her face.

Shortly after they entered, eighteen divine pets immediately surrounded the tent tightly, and other experts began to form layers upon layers of formations, some even inserting formation flags, for if they were enemies, even wings couldn’t help them escape.

"Clatter~" Casen, bold and skilled, and with this being his Northern Camp, entered the tent alone.

However, upon entry, he was momentarily dumbfounded because Yusuf had removed his hat, revealing his true self, and smilingly clasped his fist to Casen!

Casen, bewildered by Yusuf’s conduct, returned the salute.

And just as he bowed to return the salute, Yusuf activated the King’s Order Token in his hand, using the Faith Divine Stone as the catalyst!

"Hiss~"

"Whoosh~"

The Breath of the King emanating from the token caused the entire tent to oscillate, and Casen was greatly astonished, kneeling directly!

The Token is seen as seeing the King himself, as though the King were present, so it surpasses even an imperial edict, leaving Casen no choice but to kneel!

"Greetings, envoy sir!" Casen clenched his fists in salute!

He knew the King has Hidden Guards, belonging to the Dark forces absolutely loyal to the King, whereas those like him—lords and the like—were figureheads in the divine realm, but the Hidden Guards followed the King, battling everywhere beyond worlds, so he couldn’t afford to offend any Hidden Guards!

"Swish~" Yusuf collected the King’s Order Token, and then sat on the throne, smilingly saying, "Lennon Presley and I have some personal grudges; upon discovering me here, she used you to restrain me, but I’ve come with the King’s mission, looking for you for other matters!"

"Envoy, please speak!" Casen rose to his feet.

"Your chariot should be at home, shouldn’t it? Shortly, drive out your chariot, we’re going to escort someone back to Royal City!"

"That shouldn’t be a problem, but... Who are we escorting?" Casen inquired curiously.

"Princess!" Yusuf smiled, "We’ve already grasped the traces of Princess’s whereabouts; we’ll go fetch her shortly!"

"Isn’t Lennon Presley also looking for Princess? Why aren’t you on the same side?"

"Her?" Yusuf sneered, "Her intelligence is insignificant. The King sent four teams to search for the Princess; I am just one of the teams!"

"Oh, I see!" Casen nodded, knowing that infighting among Hidden Guards was normal. Whoever found the Princess would gain the most credit, so it was understandable for Lennon Presley to use him to pin down this envoy.

"Is there anything else I should do?" Casen asked again.

"You must return to Royal City with us, but it must be kept absolutely confidential, and you alone can accompany us without bringing anyone else. The King has already returned to Royal City."

"The King has returned?" Casen was shocked, quietly inhaling, "Alright, I’ll come with you!"

"Good, go prepare the chariot, keep it low-key, dismiss everyone else, I’ll wait here for you!"

"Yes." Casen exited the tent, followed by chaotic footsteps outside that gradually receded!

At this moment, the Princess took a deep breath and said, "That was close, but how are you going to subdue him?"

"I could kill him easily, but making him submit is somewhat difficult." Yusuf frowned, "This person’s cultivation level is strong, and he’s extremely vigilant. But my primary objective has been achieved; I just want his chariot. With his chariot, we can confidently return to Royal City!"

"Then why didn’t you just ask for the chariot earlier instead of bringing him along?" the Princess asked puzzled.

"Because this person surely has a Faith Divine Stone, and I need that thing. Besides, don’t you have a grudge against him? How about I help you deal with him?"

"Don’t let it backfire!" the Princess snorted coldly.

"It won’t. The King’s token is very effective. When he knelt down, I could have killed him with at least a ninety percent chance. But killing him here would be too loud, too impactful, making it inconvenient to use his chariot afterward. So, I have to find a secluded place to deal with him!"

"He’s coming." Just then, the Princess stepped back again, hearing the sound of horses outside.

"Envoy, the chariot has arrived!" Casen stood outside the tent.
