421 Chapter 325: Can Richard Have the Same Glory as Qingqiu?
Solan City.
The Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
In a luxuriously decorated room, the owner of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce, Lady Windsor, sat behind a large desk and carefully reviewed documents.
Sometimes she frowned, and sometimes her face relaxed.
Onyx stood in front of the desk with two documents in his hands. He waited respectfully. He even slowed his breathing for fear of disturbing the other party.
Although he was cautious and meticulous, the girl with the silver crown on her head at the side tea table didn’t seem to mind.
He looked at the other young man who had just entered the room with interest and asked in a clear voice.
“Did you get the latest news about the grace mainland lord?”
The lady immediately turned to Onyx while he stood in front of the desk to deliver documents when she saw that the young man was hesitant about whether to answer.
“Onyx, can you help me ask Big Sister Vanessa if it’s convenient for an outsider like me to hear about the grace mainland lord?”
Onyx looked at the quick-witted lady and laughed bitterly.
“Your Highness, with your relationship with Chairman Windsor, the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce has never kept any secrets from you.”
It made the young lady smile sweetly.
Lady Windsor sat behind the desk and read through the documents in her hand before she looked up at the young man caught in a dilemma.
“What is it?”
The other party immediately heaved a sigh of relief and took two steps forward. The young man didn’t dare to look at the lady anymore and lowered his head.
“President, according to the latest news, the grace mainland lords have all returned from that other dimension.”
Windsor frowned slightly.
“Did you find out if the grace mainland’s lords could travel to the other planes?”
The messenger’s eyes turned serious.
There’s only one possibility… Great god.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze as soon as she finished speaking.
Lady Windsor’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. It was like a sword that could pierce through armor.
The pressure from her body gushed out like a tsunami.
It was like she had pressed a massive rock into everyone’s heart. And even breathing became difficult.
‘God…’
She muttered the word that would make all the natives of the “Shining Era” tremble in fear and fall into deep thought.
After a long time, Lady Windsor returned to her senses and retracted the terrifying aura.
She looked at the reporter with a dignified gaze.
“Is there any other news?”
Sweat dripped into the young man’s forehead. But he didn’t dare to wipe it off. He replied with a trembling voice.
“President, we also heard that in that particular plane, the gods have selected the most soul-devouring one million out of the 20 billion grace mainland lords to fight to the death…
“Oh?”
Lady Windsor’s eyes narrowed.
“Deathmatch? Millions of people?”
“That’s right, and each lord can lead 300 troops to participate in the battle. Only one lord can win in this gladiator fight…
The young man’s eyes revealed a strong sense of admiration and yearning.
“And the one who killed millions of grace mainland lords and ascended the throne in this deathmatch is a lord named Qingqiu.
“Not only did they show their strength in the previous battle, but in the last battle, they even led 300 troops to fight against 30,000 hundreds of lords.
“In the end, Qingqiu beheaded all his opponents and became the final winner with an absolute advantage. He was undeniably the King of Gladiator.
“Other than that, there’s also…”
He then described everything Richard had done in the dungeon. Such as the sudden surge in points and the crushing of ten billion people.
There was no way to hide this information that all players knew.
Towards the end, he seemed immersed in it, and his tone was unusually excited.
“That Qingqiu is a legend among the grace mainland lords.
“The strongest of 20 billion people!”
Even Lady Windsor, used to all kinds of things, couldn’t help but look around after she heard all this.
The system will select the mightiest one million from the 20 billion people to fight.
In the end, facing countless pressures, he killed his way out of millions of people and took the crown in front of several people!
How bold was that grace mainland lord?
It was a pity that the other party was away from Solan City. If only she could meet him and make him hers…
Onyx sat beside her and was also full of amazement.
Although the current grace mainland was still far from being soul-devouring, he knew how powerful it was to reach the top among 20 billion people.
For some reason, he suddenly found the territory deep in the desert in his mind.
‘I wonder who will win if Lord Richard were to go head-to-head with Qingqiu?’
Although the grace mainland lord Qingqiu had an impressive record, Onyx had a feeling that Twilight City was not inferior to him.
The lady with the silver crown had the same thought as Onyx and looked at him with interest.
“Onyx, the desert lord you hold in high regard, compared to this Qingqiu, who is better?”
“Last time, you said that Mr. Richard has unlimited potential and that even the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce is not qualified for him to join…”
Onyx blinked his eyes as she said that.
“I wonder what rank Lord Richard competes with the grace mainland lords?”
Onyx naturally understood the lady teased. But he still responded solemnly.
“Your Highness, even if that Qingqiu is first, I don’t think Lord Richard will lose.”
“Are you that confident in that lord?”
Onyx nodded firmly.
“Naturally.”
Christy shook her head. She didn’t understand why he was so optimistic about that territory.
Although he had heard a lot of information about the extraordinary territory from Onyx, more should be needed to make a merchant hero who had been doing business for decades to be so stubborn, right?
He didn’t dwell on this topic and looked out the window with some emotion.
“I wonder where Rebecca is now… I hope she can get a satisfactory answer when she looks for Lord Richard.”
The eldest daughter of the Ice Empire’s Grand Duke had already brought a hefty gift to Twilight City three days ago to purchase the fire dragon rabbit fur.
As for whether the other party could get what she wanted, no one knew.
Onyx consoled.
“Your Highness, you don’t have to worry. There’s no danger that we can’t deal with on the road to Twilight City.
“With Miss Rebecca’s speed, she’ll arrive by the 15th of September at the latest.
“Lord Richard is a man of his word. With the letter from me and the crouching Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce, he won’t make things difficult for Miss Rebecca, regardless of whether the deal is successful.”
Christy looked at Onyx with a strange expression.
“Rebecca has brought three squadrons of level 15 troops… Could that territory even make things difficult for Rebecca?”
Onyx didn’t argue and simply added.
“Your Highness, Twilight City is not the territory grace mainland lord as you know. It is Twilight City, a city full of miracles.”
After Onyx said that, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the slightly dazed President Windsor.
“President, I invited Lord Richard to Solan City before. Now that all god’s grace lords have returned from the other planes, I’m afraid he’s about to make his move.
“Maybe he’ll come back with Miss Rebecca.
When Lady Windsor heard this, she nodded slightly.
“I’d like to meet this god grace overlord that you hold in such high regard.”
“Let’s see if he has some of Qingqiu’s radiance…”
