Chapter 1458 - 1458 Pamela’s Whereabouts
Although four other Star-Grade Martial Artists who had been sent elsewhere by Chu Nan and the others had already returned in the past ten minutes, Pope Lockmarton did not have the intention to continue attacking. After the last three returned, he glanced over and left with the seven Star-Grade Martial Artists.
When Prince Lekas returned, his first action was to praise Chu Nan.
“Chu Nan, you should be the first to credit for successfully escaping danger this time. To be honest, although I’ve already overestimated your strength and talent, I still didn’t expect you to be able to do such a thing that even I’m surprised by.”
Chu Nan shook his head and smiled, “No, Your Highness, the reason why I can escape danger is also because of your sufficiently powerful strength. If not for you, no matter how I have a way, it would be extremely difficult for a clever woman to cook. Not to mention successfully repelling so many Star-Grade Martial Artists, it’s impossible for me to even forcefully open the teleportation door here. In terms of the first credit, you’re the first.”
“Heh, you mean to let me fight a junior like you for the first credit?” Prince Lekas shook his head and laughed, “Not to mention what those people in the empire will think when they find out, even now, Romanti will mock me.”
To Chu Nan’s surprise, when she heard Prince Lekas’s words, not only did Princess Romanti not have the intention to help him be humble, she even raised her head and said proudly, “That’s right! Uncle Lekas, if you still don’t acknowledge Chu Nan’s contribution, your status in my heart will definitely decrease!”
Prince Lekas laughed and turned to continue asking Chu Nan, “You’ll be rewarded for your contributions. This has always been the tradition of our Declan Empire. This time, because of Chu Nan, you still have the help of Miss Angie Prairie and Miss Carola. Not only did you let Romanti and me escape danger, but you also gave those descendants of the royal family who have fallen into the hands of the enemy hope of returning safely. The three of you have made outstanding contributions to the empire and the royal family. Therefore, on behalf of the empire and the royal family, I guarantee you that I’ll definitely give you the reward you deserve. Tell me, Chu Nan, what do you want?”
“We’ll talk about rewards in the future.” Chu Nan waved his hand and asked, “Your Highness, what I want to ask is, have you asked Pope Lockmarton about Princess Pamela after talking to him for a long time?”
“Pamela?” Prince Lekas was slightly stunned before his expression turned slightly dejected. He shook his head lightly, “I’ve asked, but Lockmarton said that he doesn’t know.”
“He doesn’t know?” Chu Nan was immediately stunned, “How can he not know? Aren’t those descendants of the royal family locked up by his subordinates? I seriously searched at that time, but Princess Pamela was missing. How can he not know?”
“In that situation just now, he shouldn’t have deliberately hidden it.” Prince Lekas shook his head, “Because Pamela paid a huge price alone, it’s not beneficial to him or the Esevy Goddess Cult. It’s not even beneficial to the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance, so I believe he really doesn’t know.”
“How can that be…” Chu Nan still did not believe it, “If he doesn’t know, where did Princess Pamela go…”
Prince Lekas looked at Chu Nan’s frowning expression and his heart stirred. He suddenly asked, “Chu Nan, why are you so concerned about Pamela? Could it be that you… knew her before? According to some information I know, she shouldn’t know you.”
“Err… this… it’s a long story. I’ll tell you in the future.”
Chu Nan glanced at Princess Romanti and discovered that she also had a puzzled expression.
When he recalled that when Princess Romanti asked about his relationship with Pamela, he had also rejected saying that he would talk about it in the future, Chu Nan could not help but feel a little awkward.
His relationship with Pamela was actually not something that could not be said, but some details of their acquaintance might involve her leaking the Exterminating Heart Technique. That was, it was not convenient to say more to people.
“Speaking of which, Chu Nan, why are you so familiar with the Exterminating Heart Technique?” Prince Lekas suddenly asked, “Although the cultivation method you used can’t be considered a true Exterminating Heart Technique, you’ve already obtained a portion of the essence. Could it be that… a member of the royal family secretly revealed it to you? If it’s not Romanti, then it’s Pamela?”
Chu Nan’s heart skipped a beat. He raised his head and looked at Prince Lekas’s lightning-like gaze. When he recalled the serious consequences of Prince Montique telling him to leak the Exterminating Heart Technique, he hurriedly forcefully controlled himself and accurately controlled every inch of his muscles and even skin. He pretended to be surprised and shook his head.
“No one taught me. I’ve only come into contact with many descendants of the royal family during this period of time and deduced and evolved some cultivation method changes from some of the characteristics when they used the Exterminating Heart Technique. If Your Highness feels that this has already obtained a portion of the essence of the Exterminating Heart Technique, doesn’t that mean that my thoughts are correct? That’s great!”
Beside him, Princess Romanti also cried out, “Hey! Uncle Lekas, don’t wrong me. Although I have a good relationship with Chu Nan, how can I dare to teach him the Exterminating Heart Technique? This is a serious violation of the clan’s rules. I care a lot about the inheritance. How can I do such a thing?”
“Is that so?” Prince Lekas glanced at the two of them and smiled without asking further.
However, Chu Nan saw something different in the way he looked at him. Although it was unclear, he was certain that Prince Lekas clearly did not believe his nonsense.
“In any case, he has no evidence and can’t do anything to me.” Chu Nan comforted himself before changing his expression and continuing to ask, “Then, Your Highness, should we think of a way to find Princess Pamela?”
“There’s no need.” To Chu Nan’s surprise, Prince Lekas shook his head with an indifferent expression, “Since she didn’t appear here, she might have disappeared elsewhere in the Endless Abyss. She might have long died in the mouths of those mutated beasts. Ignore her.”
“How can I not care?!” Chu Nan immediately became excited, “Although she might be dead, what if she’s not? Could it be that you want to give up and stop looking? Could it be that you want to watch helplessly as she completely loses contact?”
Prince Lekas frowned slightly before his expression sank.
“As a member of the Declan royal family, even if she dies in this Garden Hunting Assembly, it’s her own choice. Since she chose this path, she has to bear the corresponding consequences. If she dies, it proves that her ability is insufficient. There’s no other explanation!”
“But…”
Chu Nan wanted to say more, but Princess Romanti pulled him back.
“About that… Uncle Lekas, let’s go back first,” Princess Romanti said to Prince Lekas.
“Yes, let’s go. It’s meaningless to stay here.”
After saying that, Prince Lekas glanced at Chu Nan and his voice entered his ears alone.
“There are some things that are not suitable to be done now.”
