1457 Shaking Hand and Making Up
Pope Lockmarton spent a lot of effort before returning to the alternate space and the area where he had been inexplicably teleported away when he chased after Prince Lekas.
He originally thought that after so long, Prince Lekas would probably have fled long ago. When he recalled that not only had he lost the best chance to kill him this time, he had also completely offended the royal family of the Declan Empire. It would definitely bring him and the entire Esevy Goddess Cult great pressure. Even his alliance would endure huge pressure, causing the battle to erupt at any moment, his expression was extremely gloomy.
Although the alliance had already carefully planned for a long time and prepared for a long time, if they were forced to fight, there would definitely be mistakes in many places. The effect could be great or small.
Most importantly, he originally planned to use the name of personally killing the prince of the Declan Empire to obtain the first credit for the alliance and use this to further increase the status of the Esevy Goddess Cult in the alliance and completely suppress the other two great sects. Now that Prince Lekas had successfully escaped and his plan had failed, the losses he and the entire Esevy Goddess Cult suffered were the most terrifying.
Moreover, they would definitely have to endure the crazy revenge from the Declan Empire next. Even if the sect had a deep foundation, they would definitely suffer a certain loss.
At the very least, some of the strongholds that he had spent a lot of effort to arrange to enter the Orion Arm would probably be completely destroyed and lost after this.
When he recalled the huge loss the sect had suffered this time, Pope Lockmarton’s heart ached, and at the same time, he was extremely puzzled.
What had happened when he was forcefully teleported out just now?
If it was done by Prince Lekas himself, he naturally did not believe it, because this was not something a martial artist could do.
If it was the spatial turbulence naturally produced in the alternate space that caused the teleportation door to actually open in the alternate space, then Prince Lekas’s luck was too good.
In fact, if he really had to choose, Pope Lockmarton would rather believe the first guess.
As the pope of the Esevy Goddess Cult, Pope Lockmarton naturally sneered at ordinary religions and disdained them, but he still believed in the fate of humanity.
If Prince Lekas had such a phenomenon because of luck, then if he wanted to attack a person like him who was especially favored by the gods, he would undoubtedly be punished extremely severely.
This was what Pope Lockmarton did not want to see the most.
These thoughts stopped the moment Pope Lockmarton saw Prince Lekas.
He widened his eyes and stared at the calm Prince Lekas who was floating in the alternate space. Then, he looked at Chu Nan and the other three who were floating behind him and almost rubbed his eyes without caring about his image.
This was because he suspected that he must have been wrong!
Prince Lekas did not leave!
Those four little fellows were actually not dead!
Fortunately, Pope Lockmarton was extremely shrewd after all. He only revealed a slight surprise on the surface before immediately suppressing it.
He looked around and his expression sank again.
Although he was not 100% certain that his place should be the place where their group had caught up to Prince Lekas,
Now, it seemed that Prince Lekas and the four little fellows had not moved. Instead, the twelve Star-Grade Martial Artists with him were missing.
Earlier, it was their side that had absolute strength to crush them, but now, he was facing the five of them alone. Although the four little fellows could be ignored, he was clearly not Prince Lekas’s match.
Although he did not understand how it had become like this, he could already announce that his pursuit had failed.
“Lockmarton, are you very curious where those guys you brought went?” Prince Lekas’s voice sounded.
If it was said that he had still maintained his superficial respect in front of Pope Lockmarton previously, now that the two sides had already fallen out, there was naturally no need to consider so much.
Pope Lockmarton’s expression was gloomy. He even felt that all of this was actually a trap set by the Declan Empire and was deliberately luring them to attack, luring him and the twelve Star-Grade Martial Artists he had brought here. Then, he would capture them all and greatly reduce the strength of the alliance.
However, many things would seem very unreasonable like this, because the price paid by the royal family of the Declan Empire was too great. Their royal descendants were still under the control of their subordinates. If they did this, would the Declan Empire not be worried about the safety of those royal descendants?
One had to know that to the Declan Empire, especially the royal family, those descendants of the royal family should be the most important thing.
Every one of them was a young genius qualified to enter the second stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. In the future, as long as they were nurtured well, every one of them could become the new generation of the Declan royal family. It was even very likely that several Star-Grade Martial Artists would appear.
Be it the Declan royal family or the entire Declan Empire, they should not easily give up on such an important backup force.
“Lekas, it seems that you’re confident.” After thinking for a moment, Pope Lockmarton replied in a low voice, “We’ve already missed this good opportunity. I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult to wait for a better opportunity than this next time.”
“Do you think I might give you such an opportunity again?” Prince Lekas asked.
Lockmarton sighed and shook his head slowly.
“No, I even suspect that your choice of the Endless Abyss as the competition venue of the second stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly is simply a long-planned conspiracy. Otherwise, it’s very difficult to explain why there are so many coincidences. It’s very difficult to explain why you… are still alive and well.”
“Yes, there are indeed many coincidences, but there are also many accidents.” At this point, Prince Lekas turned to look at Chu Nan beside him before turning to look at Pope Lockmarton with a serious expression, “Lockmarton, since you’ve already lost the ability to kill me, I think we should have a good chat.”
Pope Lockmarton was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at Prince Lekas deeply and nodded. “That’s right. We indeed need to have a good chat.”
Seeing Prince Lekas and Pope Lockmarton quickly approach and lean against each other like a pair of old friends, Chu Nan was a little dumbfounded.
Earlier, Pope Lockmarton had clearly brought a group of people to fight Prince Lekas and the four of them, looking like he wanted to kill them. Prince Lekas had also used the one-on-one opportunity he had helped him create to heavily injure the five Star-Grade Martial Artists brought by Pope Lockmarton and even personally killed one of them. How could the two of them actually chat so peacefully in the blink of an eye?
“Hey, do you think… they’ll suddenly fight again?” Angie Prairie glanced at the two people in the distance and sent a voice transmission to Chu Nan, Princess Romanti, and Carola.
Chu Nan shook his head to indicate that he did not understand.
However, Princess Romanti seemed to be used to it. She shook her head and said, “No. Don’t worry, to Uncle Lekas and Pope Lockmarton, fighting and even war are only methods to obtain benefits. Now that Pope Lockmarton can’t kill Uncle Lekas, he naturally has to ask for the benefits he deserves. They shouldn’t talk for long.”
“Is that so?” Chu Nan glanced at Princess Romanti in surprise, “You know quite a bit.”
“Nonsense.” Princess Romanti glared at Chu Nan, “The political class of a large country is something I have to learn before I’m ten years old. This is only the most basic knowledge.”
Chu Nan and Angie Prairie looked at each other and stuck out their tongues.
As a member of the royal family of the Declan Empire, he was indeed completely different from the education children from ordinary families in the Earth Federation like them.
