Richard Wang's expression was very calm and elegant, with a hint of playfulness and disrespect.

  This kind of playing with the world is a naturally emitted noble style, it's the demeanor of a true superior, distinguishing itself from ordinary nobles and commoners.

  The prince furrowed his brow, and the black "king" character on his forehead scrunched up together.

  He glanced at these fierce human mercenaries and then looked at Liu Zhen who seemed to be unrelated.

  The mercenaries were swept away by his disdainful gaze, and some of them trembled in their hearts, immediately turning their heads to avoid the overwhelming gaze that dominated the world.

  "Your Highness, I'm going to file a complaint with the Witherstone Elder's Council!" The lead human, a stout man with cunning little eyes, shouted again: "Even if it's the noble High Priest, you can't deceive us foreign merchants! The words of the noble priests are as precious as magic crystals - when they say something, they must do it! I strongly demand that Your Highness preside over justice and conduct fair trade! Otherwise, the Merchant Guild of Dolotte will formally lodge a complaint with the Elder's Council in Bimon's capital!"

  Prince Richard listened to the chatterbox fatty's clamor while also listening to Cui Peishan and him explaining the situation in a clear and concise manner. When he heard that the object of the transaction was a mermaid slave, the prince was also startled, only then noticing the two stunning beauties who were so beautiful they took his breath away, and he never dreamed that one of them would be a mermaid princess from the sea.

  "Is that so......" The prince muttered to himself.

  It's not good to intervene in this matter, the trade between human merchants and Bimon is now very important, can't afford to offend, but he also has no right to force a priest who serves the god of war to do something.

  "I protest..." The fat merchant gloated, speaking with increasing fervor: "My mercenaries were just injured by this gentleman, I strongly protest..."

  On the ground was a patch of bloodstains, trampled by chaotic footprints, dark red and twisted. As soon as he said this, everyone looked down at the ground.

  Liu Zhen was taken aback, and his eyes landed on a white-robed priest among the humans. The priest was waving a cross over a burly man who lay on the ground with a bloody head wound. Beams of pure white holy light flashed by, and the wound on the blood-covered man's forehead was slowly healing at a visible rate.

  The "Sacred Light Healing" of the pastor is a special ability that surpasses even the winged healing of the Bimon Shaman, and it was this very ability that humans and Bimon suffered greatly from during the Haigal War.

  Liu Zhen looked at Gu De with a sideways glance.

  "He spoke disrespectfully to Miss Jingyu, a frivolous person who needs to be taught a lesson." Gu De said: "Since I've been following the master, I've always shown mercy, but he's too much, I only used one-tenth of my strength."

  "Next time use full force." Liu Zhen said.

  "I protest! I want to make a statement! This is too much!" The human merchant, seeing the priest's arrogance, also became somewhat flustered and began to gesticulate wildly.

  "Do you believe I can turn you into a disabled person right now?" Liu Zhen's hand grasped his collar, slowly lifting the fat man off the ground. Liu Zhen's eyes were inches from his, staring at him with malice.

  The human merchant apparently didn't expect a shrine maiden to treat him like that and was slightly taken aback.

  Several loyal mercenaries immediately let out a low growl, "swish" as they drew their large swords. Before they could even make a move, Liu Zhen had already landed an elbow strike on the face of one of the mercenaries who was closest to him, followed by a fierce knee strike to his groin. The people around them immediately heard a sound similar to that of an egg cracking open.

  Liu Zhenhong grasped the mercenary's brown curly hair with one hand and slammed it heavily onto the bronze sculpture beside him, instantly leaving a wet mark on the waist of the giant bear made of rice sacks.

  This string of dazzling movements was completed by Liu with extraordinary agility, and his single hand still held the stout human merchant.

  The other mercenaries were stunned there.

  If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would have thought that they had encountered a habitual thief rather than a martial artist! Is this even weaker than the weakest martial artist in Meng Zhong? Those unconventional moves actually knocked down one of the strongest mercenaries with just one blow.

  "Ah...~~~~" The white-robed priest's mouth was agape, his eyes wide with terror as the cross in his hand fell to the ground.

  Not just them, even Prince Richard and Choi Beom-seo, who were specialized in martial arts, were stunned.

  Prince Richard still remembered the combination of Frostbite Puchi on the trial ground earlier, and he had always been suspicious of this existence in his heart, now it was finally all cleared up.

  Choi Bong-soo was surprised to find that the legendary "Song Mu Double Xiu" actually existed! Just like in the world of magic, where there is a legend of "Mo Wu Double Xiu", the story of "Song Mu Double Xiu" has been passed down among the priests. However, it's just a strange legend, as elemental power and physical power are mutually exclusive, and it's impossible for a beastman to possess both outstanding abilities at the same time. The result of forcibly possessing them is... "Model Tumbles Head Over Heels - Neither Side Touches the Ground".

  Cui Peishan finally understood the reason why her disciple, who was a rare natural soul singer, had such low "singing power".

  Helen and they had even seen Liu Zhen's shocking scene of beating up Benny the Road Warrior, so it was only natural that they were not surprised at all, with a look of being used to seeing strange things.

  "Halt! Richard, desist!" The prince grabbed Liu's arm and said in a stern, measured tone: "Fighting is strictly forbidden on the temple grounds. If you have a personal vendetta, I suggest you settle it at the arena."

  Liu Zhenhong raised an eyebrow, clicked his tongue and let go of his hand.

  "I want to make a statement! I want to protest..." The fat merchant sat down on the ground with a thud, got up and rubbed his sore neck, and quickly slipped into the crowd of mercenaries, not daring to come out again. However, he still shouted loudly without giving in.

  "Sorry, esteemed human sir!" Prince Richard nodded elegantly to the human merchant: "The Kingdom of Bimon is a place that values law and democracy, with the just god of war watching over us from above."

  "What does it mean?" Liu Zhen was taken aback and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

  "As a noble and a priest, you have a dual identity of nobility. If you dare to tear up the agreement in the legitimate trade in front of the god of war, I have the right to propose to the Council of Elders and the Temple to strip you of all your titles." Prince Li seemed to have made up his mind to make trouble for him, with a calm tone that carried an unstoppable momentum: "A Bi Mung who does not keep his promises is the most shameful Bi Mung!"

  Liu Zhen was shocked and exhausted from his efforts, all for the sake of obtaining a noble fiefdom, but this sentence directly pierced his vital spot.

  "Haha......" Liu Zhenhong laughed loudly: "A prince is a prince after all! Alright, I've taken your words to heart and won't go back on my word. Now you should have nothing more to say, right?"

  Avery suddenly lifted her head and stared at him in disbelief.

  "I want five million gold coins! Do you have them? Take them out and I'll sell!" Liu Zhenhong sneered.

  "That's what you said." The human merchant dropped a sentence that almost choked Liu Zhen.

  "Obis! Can't believe there's so much money! Liu Zhen is stunned."

  "We'll be back, when we come with money." The human merchant smiled slyly: "You said that to the war god Kampas! With the prince as witness, you won't dare not acknowledge your debt! Let's go!"

  The plump merchant pulled out a crystal ball from his bosom, engraved with complex magical symbols. Greedy and covetous eyes stared fixedly at Aileen, the crystal ball shaking in his hand. Inside the crystal ball, a strange light circle was brewing. After two or three rotations, a small Aileen appeared inside the crystal ball, her figure proportionate and slender.

  "Memory Magic Crystal?" Cui Peishan frowned and whispered from the side.

  The fat man proudly put away the crystal ball, with a mocking gaze and the mercenaries retreated like a tide, leaving only Liu Zhen's stunned state standing in front of the temple.

  "You bastard!" Evie rushed over and punched Liu Zhen's chest with her small fists, bursting into tears with a "wow".

  "He doesn't have that much money, he's just bragging." Liu Zhen was hugging the mermaid's waist and comforting her, but in his heart, he also felt uncertain.

  "What if he really has that much money?" The mermaid's face was covered with tears, looking at Liu Zhen innocently: "Are you really going to sell me?"

  Damn! Liu Zhen was shocked and swallowed his words back, there were so many people around, it wouldn't look good.

  The mermaid saw Liu Zhen's wink at her and understood what he meant, but she was still angry and gave him another fierce punch.

  "Richard!" Cui Peishan swam forward, her delicate face covered with a layer of frost: "I don't care how you got together with Miss Mermaid, but the mermaid tribe is the royal family of the sea. Depriving others of their freedom is not something that should be done! You must give this lady the respect she deserves!"

  "Know, know......" Liu Zhen was most afraid of two women, one was Ning Yu, and the other was this newly recognized Shizu. Why be so afraid of her after just meeting for such a short time, Liu Zhen himself also found it strange.

  "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with human merchants who possess the memory magic crystal. This crystal ball can record a lot of things, and in the human world, only the wealthy and powerful can own magical items. From what I know, this kind of crystal ball often appears in the hands of human slave traders, used to record the 'goods' appearance." Cui Peishan's face didn't look very good.

  "The neighboring country to our nation, the Grand Duchy of Dolotte, is in a state of turmoil as its current Grand Duke, Drueil Piero, has been bedridden with illness for quite some time and is said to be nearing his demise. The Grand Duchy of Dolotte is a vassal state under the Francisco Empire, and according to the laws of the Francisco Empire, the next Grand Duke will be chosen from among the descendants of the current Grand Duke Drueil Piero. However, the current Grand Duke has no sons, only three daughters, two of whom are already married.

  The eldest daughter is married to Count Totti Chalba, a wealthy merchant and slave owner who is also the nephew of the Prime Minister of Dolotte. The second daughter is married to Danze Tomasi, the son of the commander of the largest mercenary group in Dolotte, the 'Dragon's Whirlwind' Mercenary Group, and a Holy Knight of the Saint Paul Church.

  Since the youngest daughter has not yet been married off, it appears that the next Grand Duke will be determined by the struggle between Count Totti Chalba and Danze Tomasi, as to whose wife will become the Grand Duchess and which family's power will reach its peak."

  Everyone stared at the prince, and it seemed like there was a hidden meaning behind his words.

  "The man with whom you just had a dispute is the richest merchant and slave owner in Dolotte, Count Toti Charlabar's commercial team leader. He has the crest of the Charlabar family on his cuff, which is a mermaid holding a balance and weight, meaning that their family married a princess." The prince continued.

  "Prince Richard's observation is indeed meticulous." Cui Peishan nodded and smiled.

  "I've recently been studying the coats of arms of all the great houses on the continent, especially those of the human nobility." The prince smiled slightly.

  "What does this have to do with what just happened?" Liu Zhen asked hastily.

  "Haha......" Prince Richard smiled and said: "The envoy sent by the Francis Empire to hold the coronation ceremony this time is the key to who will be crowned as the Grand Duchess. According to reliable sources, the one who came to attend the coronation ceremony of the Grand Duke is none other than the famous 'Lustful Prince' Chamberlain of the Francis Empire. This prince is said to have the most noble bloodline, born out of incest between his mother and brother, and he is actually a half-brother of the current King of the Francis Empire."

  "It's so complicated!" Liu Zhen was stunned and dizzy.

  "This Prince Chamberlain, known for sleeping with more than four women every day, loves beauty and lovely ladies. So, the two husbands of Dolores must think of all ways to buy the most beautiful women to please this prince, whoever gets ahead in beauties will have a greater chance of winning the crown. Therefore...the leader of Earl Marshal's business team rushed over as soon as he heard about the mermaid slave, you refused to sell, they were naturally unhappy. Mermaids are not only born beauties but also royalty from the sea, no country on the mainland has ever heard of mermaid slaves, if Earl Marshal presents her to Prince Chamberlain, the title of Duke is almost certain."

  "No wonder..." Liu Zhen finally understood.

  "You think 5 million gold coins is an astronomical figure, don't you? You thought it would scare off these merchants?" Prince Wang sneered: "Li Cha, you're being reckless, saying that your business acumen is really dull. According to the strength of the Dolotte's first wealthy family, the Sharl family, 5 million is not a small amount, but in order to seek the position of Grand Duke, even if you say 10 million gold coins, they can easily come up with it for you."

  "Is that a lot of money?" Although Liu Zhen had never seen what gold coins looked like, he could also imagine what one hundred million gold coins meant.

  The God of War is above! Liu Zhen's eyes were flashing with a bright yellow light.

  "With this money, they will soon be able to make up the amount. When that time comes, I'll come find you again. What will you do?" Prince's words had a hint of schadenfreude, as he spoke, his eyes glanced sideways at Mermaid Princess Avril's expression.

  Avery's chest heaved violently, her razor-sharp eyes fixed intently on Liu Zhen.

  "Hehe... we'll talk about it later!" Liu Zhen was smiling broadly: "In any case, I really have to thank you for your 'generosity', Wangzi. Otherwise, I might have made a mistake that I shouldn't have made!"

  "It's easy for you to say." The prince also smiled casually, but the disdain in his eyes couldn't be hidden: "The Pigu tribe has always been like this, and it can't be blamed on you."

  The prince deliberately said "Pig" very loudly.

  "My ass," Liu Zhen said.

  "What did you say?" The prince stared at him, his face drastically changed.

  "I said, I really appreciate it."

  "Hmm..." Prince Tai smiled calmly: "You'd better think of a good solution, my dear Matchless Piggy."

  Those familiar with Liu Zhenyong found that Richard's eyes now had a faint reflection of murder, dark nights and shiny gold coins.
