Chapter 1606 Why Am I Stronger?
Chapter 1606 Why Am I Stronger?
"Kid, you have such guts." His Majesty Gremayne looked at Chu Nan with a faint smile, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to barge into the palace without permission? Moreover, you actually barged into the Eldest Princess\'s bedroom."
Chu Nan touched his nose awkwardly.
"This… Your Majesty, I thought that was no longer within the royal palace."
"Heh, you still want to quibble?" His Majesty Gremayne shook his head, "Alright, tell me, what\'s going on? Why did you fight with the Eldest Princess? What were you doing in the house for so long?"
Chu Nan thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to hide from him. Moreover, if he did not explain clearly, it would probably be very difficult for him to escape from His Majesty Gremayne, so he decided to tell him the truth.
"I was asked by someone…"
Chu Nan roughly explained what had happened after he saw Anise after being entrusted by Supremacy Quediro to find her.
He noticed that after he said Supremacy Quediro\'s name, His Majesty Gremayne\'s expression clearly changed. His gaze instantly became much sharper and he could even sense a trace of killing intent from him. However, after Chu Nan described Anise\'s reaction, the expression on his face became complicated. His gaze turned to the direction of her hut and he did not speak for a long time.
After Chu Nan finished speaking, His Majesty Gremayne was still silent for a long time before asking, "In the end, the Eldest Princess said to let Pamela contact her for you?"
"Yes, that\'s indeed what the eldest princess said." Chu Nan nodded and looked at His Majesty Gremayne with anticipation.
He knew very well that even if the Eldest Princess said so, if he really wanted to achieve this goal, he definitely had to get His Majesty to agree.
His Majesty Gremayne\'s reaction exceeded Chu Nan\'s expectations. He actually smiled when he heard this and smiled very happily.
Chu Nan looked at him in confusion. It was unknown what he had thought of, but his reaction made him heave a sigh of relief.
Since he was not angry and was even smiling so happily, there should be no problem…
"Very good." His Majesty Gremayne stopped laughing and stretched out his hand to pat Chu Nan\'s shoulder with an appreciative expression, "Kid, you really surprise me. Since the Eldest Princess has said so, do as you\'re told. Moreover, you\'ve already sensed the cultivation method problem in the Eldest Princess\'s body. Then, just like Pamela, you can treat it as the target of your research. If you can resolve the problem of their cultivation methods, that\'s the most meaningful thing to our Declan royal family. Kid, I think very highly of you. Don\'t disappoint me."
Chu Nan smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I\'m under a lot of pressure like this. The Exterminating Heart Technique is the number one cultivation method in the Milky Way. Are you so confident that I can make suitable improvements? You have to know that so many powerful ancestors of your Declan royal family were unable to resolve these problems."
"If there\'s a chance, you should try. There\'s no harm in trying." His Majesty Gremayne waved his hand and his expression became serious, "If you can do it, it\'s naturally a great contribution. If not, do you really think the crime of secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique will be so easily let go by the Elder Council?"
Alright, this was a blatant threat.
Chu Nan nodded helplessly, "I\'ll do my best, but I can\'t guarantee that I\'ll succeed."
"We\'ll talk about it after trying."
His Majesty Gremayne talked to Chu Nan about the details of his meeting with Anis before waving his hand to let him leave.
Just as Chu Nan was about to walk out, he suddenly thought of a problem.
"Right, Your Majesty, that… according to the rules, the participants who successfully pass the Garden Hunting Assembly should have the corresponding reward, right? I feel that… my performance in the Garden Hunting Assembly should be not bad…"
Looking at Chu Nan\'s expectant expression, His Majesty Gremayne was immediately amused.
He shook his head with a regretful expression.
Just as Chu Nan\'s expression sank and he thought that His Majesty Gremayne was going to reject this request, he smiled and said, "You should ask Lekas this question because he organized the Garden Hunting Assembly this time and confirmed the reward. I don\'t care."
Prince Lekas\' face flashed through Chu Nan\'s mind and he could not help but smile bitterly.
Although His Majesty Gremayne did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that whether he could obtain the S-rank cultivation method reward that he was already very confident in obtaining depended on Prince Lekas\'s attitude towards him.
This time, he did not comply with Prince Lekas\'s arrangements to marry Princess Viennelle. Instead, he caused so much trouble. One could imagine Prince Lekas\'s attitude towards him…
Chu Nan could only sigh and bow to His Majesty Gremayne before turning to leave.
When Chu Nan disappeared from the half-built house of His Majesty Gremayne, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows behind and walked to his side.
His Majesty Gremayne turned to look at that person.
"What? Lekas, don\'t you even have the courage to face him?"
This person was suddenly the Prince Lekas that His Majesty Gremayne had mentioned.
Prince Lekas glanced in the direction Chu Nan left and shook his head with a dumbfounded expression.
"This kid has caused so much trouble, but he actually wants to obtain the S-rank martial technique reward. He\'s really greedy."
"However, with his performance in the Garden Hunting Assembly, logically speaking, he should be the person who deserves this reward the most, right?" His Majesty Gremayne asked.
Prince Lekas glanced at His Majesty Gremayne in surprise.
"I thought you had already rejected him."
"I\'m only suggesting," His Majesty Gremayne replied indifferently. "No matter what he did after that, there\'s nothing wrong with his performance in the Garden Hunting Assembly. Moreover, it can be said that he saved your life."
Prince Lekas\'s expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he replied expressionlessly, "I\'ll consider it. However, since he wants to obtain something from us, he must pay a sufficient price. I definitely won\'t change this thought. This kid has caused this matter to this extent. If I can\'t squeeze enough value out of him, it won\'t be worth it."
His Majesty Gremayne frowned slightly. He stared at Prince Lekas for a long time until he felt uncomfortable under his gaze. Then, he said, "Lekas, do you know why my martial technique has always been stronger than yours?"
Prince Lekas was stunned. He did not expect His Majesty Gremayne to suddenly change the topic.
He frowned and asked, "Isn\'t it because your talent is stronger than mine?"
"No." His Majesty Gremayne shook his head and sighed, "Talent is only one aspect, but I\'ve always thought that mentality is very important. You have many advantages, many advantages that I think I can\'t compare to, but your personality is very flawed. You… are too calculative. We\'re the royal family of Declan, the strongest family in the entire Milky Way. Our goal is to pursue the extreme of the martial arts. If you always focus on these small things, it\'ll really damage your mind and affect your martial arts comprehension. Do you understand what I mean?"
Prince Lekas was silent for a moment before saying coldly, "These things I\'m pursuing are not small matters. This is for the welfare of the entire Declan Empire. This should be the problem you, His Majesty, should consider the most."
His Majesty Gremayne also fell silent. After a while, he sighed and said, "You\'re right. If not for the fact that the rules of the race are that only the strongest can ascend the throne, you would have been more suitable for this position than me."
Prince Lekas sneered, "What\'s the use of saying this now? You\'re already the most respected His Majesty in the empire. I only need to assist you with all my might."
His Majesty Gremayne thought for a moment and suddenly reached out to pull off the clothes that he had just put on his upper body. Then, he waved at Prince Lekas.
"Come, it\'s still the same old rules. Let\'s resolve the argument between us brothers with our fists. No matter what, we\'ll just fight."
Prince Lekas frowned and glanced at His Majesty Gremayne. He said coldly, "I\'m not interested in you always deliberately giving way to my competition. Instead of wasting time on this, why don\'t you consider how to bring more benefits to the empire and the royal family?"
After saying that, Prince Lekas turned around and disappeared in front of His Majesty Gremayne. He broke through the spatial wall and left.
His Majesty Gremayne had originally assumed a starting posture, but Prince Lekas\'s reaction exceeded his expectations. He was stunned on the spot for a long time before slowly putting away his posture and standing up again.
A moment later, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped a huge rock beside him.
Without any sound, the six-meter-long, three-meter-tall, two-meter-wide, and hundred-ton boulder directly shattered into powder and scattered.
