"right!"

Thales retorted without hesitation:

"But you, father, will bear the huge damage and loss caused by the failure of the 'Sand King', and will fall into the dilemma of being unable to do anything in the Western Wilderness, and will drift further and further away from what you want in your heart."

The king frowned.

Thales paused and chuckled:

"Of course, with the character and methods of an iron-fisted king, you will certainly not give up. You will definitely come up with new ways to repair the Western Wilderness, deceive and kidnap, take advantage of and plunder, and will not give up until you achieve your goal."

Speaking of this, Thales looked serious:

"Then, you will fall into the abyss and detonate the Western Wasteland in the next failed attempt."

"It's like detonating an eternal oil barrel."

Thales lowered his head and glanced at King Kessel coldly:

"Believe me, I have seen it. It was an unforgettable scene."

The Iron Fist King's eyes turned cold:

"Are you threatening me?"

"No," Thales chuckled and shook his head:

"I'm just showing you: the future reign of Kessel Brightstar V."

Thales' smile disappeared:

"The Western Wilderness is just the beginning. When the situation gets out of control and is completely uncontrollable..."

"You will eventually set the whole kingdom on fire."

King Kessel's expression became increasingly ugly.

"Tell me, father, do you really want to be in your own time..."

Taylor paused.

He stared at the king, took a deep breath, and said word for word: "See the next one——"

"Year of Blood?"

Year of Blood.

The voice fell.

The room was silent.

King Kessel remained silent and motionless.

Only a pair of eyes looked dimly into the void, reflecting the light.

He didn't seem to care.

And Thales stared at him aggressively.

Until the next second.

"You asked the wrong person."

The king's voice sounded faintly.

"After all, you are the one who holds the chips."

The next moment, Thales' whole body trembled, and he felt the sin of the Hell River growling angrily in his veins, causing a tingling sensation like a ray of light on his back.

It made him restless.

"You should ask yourself: If I don't accept your conditions, if I'm not willing to give you the weight of the crown," the king's words were very slow and scary:

"Then you would rather hold the chips in your hands and sit back and watch..."

"Watching the stars fall to the ground and the kingdom burn?"

Thales firmly held back the power of ending, but couldn't help but be startled.

King Kessel lowered his forehead slightly, and his gaze was like a sword leaning against his body.

"Tell me, Thales Brightstar."

Thales forced himself to look at him, but still swallowed unconsciously.

"Do you want to witness the Year of Blood with your own eyes in your lifetime?"

The king said lightly:

"Believe me, I've seen it."

"That scene was unforgettable."

Thales' breathing stagnated, and he was about to retort, but stopped talking.

The king sneered.

"Look, if you really understand what 'Born for the Stars' means, then you shouldn't hesitate on this question."

"As for whether you will execute the 'Sand King', you shouldn't care."

Thales was startled when he heard this and didn't know how to answer.

"So, this will be the last time I ask you," the king's voice gradually became stronger, no longer calm, like a sharp knife being drawn out of its sheath, "and it is also your last chance."

"That bargaining chip, that orphan girl of Emory."

"Where?"

Thales lowered his head and bit his lips.

not enough.

not enough.

King Kessel would not accept his terms.

He will not tolerate any "deals" that are beyond his control.

We will not allow even the slightest flaw to appear on the crown.

The kingdom, the interests, not even the bloody year, were enough to convince King Kessel.

Not enough to convince - the Iron-fisted King.

All the rhetoric, threats and inducements are ineffective.

He wants to do more.

More.

More!

The sin of the Hell River seemed to sense his mood and surged forward, overflowing throughout his body.

【If you want to enter this circle, Thales, even climb to the top.】

[The first thing to do is to surrender, open up your mind and body, let their world and concepts rule everything about you, and turn you into someone you don’t recognize yourself. Only in this way can you start playing

Only this game can be played successfully.】

Bow your head and bow your head.

Open your mind and body.

It turned into... an appearance that even I couldn't recognize.

So, no matter what, he has to play this card.

Even if it means doom and gloom.

Amidst the excited roar of Hell River Sin, Thales took a deep breath and raised his head:

"Father, listen..."

But the next second, his father snorted and shook his head, interrupting him:

"Okay, I see what you mean, kid."

King Kessel's eyes moved and he spit out a name:

"Bailal."

Thales was stunned:

"What?"

The king gently rubbed the back of his hand and thought:

"That's the name of the assassin who broke into the banquet for a duel, right?"

Thales clenched his fists.

Bailar.
