The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5033

“A million celestial gems?” Malgor froze, clearly stunned. After a moment, he nodded eagerly. “Deal. I'll contact my allies right away. We'll crush Caxton Continent!”

“Mr. Haverford, please rest here for a bit. I'll go find someone,” Malgor said.

“Go,” Braxton replied dismissively with a wave.

After Malgor left, Thorley turned to Braxton. “Father, do we even have a million celestial gems?”

Even if they did, the Eighth Hall wouldn't have had to loot resources from level one.

“It's a lie, of course. Otherwise, why would these scum work themselves to death for us?” Braxton chuckled coldly.

Thorley nodded, finally understanding the trick.

Back on the Caxton Continent, the Floating Island was a breathtaking paradise. Waterfalls cascaded like rivers of light, birds chirped in harmony, and the air was filled with the fragrance of blossoms.

“It's so beautiful…” Jemina said, lying down in the grass. “Of all the things I missed, this Floating Island tops the list.”

“Seriously? You miss the island more than me?” Nilou teased, rolling her eyes.

“Of course not. I missed you, too,” Jemina replied with a sly smile.

Nilou had already ordered spiritual fruit brews to be laid out for the guests. Everyone was seated among blooming flowers. Cranes soared in the sky above, and the surroundings radiated a dreamlike serenity, like a hidden paradise untouched by time.

“Here, Mr. Chance, try our Ninefold Spirit Wine. It's a specialty of the Caxton Continent,” Nilou offered warmly, holding up a cup. “It's made from thousand-year-old spiritual fruits. Fantastic for cultivation!”

Jared took the cup, sipping lightly. Instantly, a warm energy coursed through him, refreshing his body and mind.

“This is amazing,” he exclaimed.

Flaxseed had already finished his glass and was grinning ear to ear. “Hahaha! This beats any wine back home!”

Jared was about to ask more when suddenly...

Boom!

A deafening blast echoed across the horizon. The ground trembled violently beneath their feet.

“What was that?” Nilou jumped up, her face pale.

A cultivator from the Caxton Continent rushed in, his face stricken with fear. “Urgent news! Malgor and a host of Demonic Cultivators are attacking our border formations!”

“What?” Everyone was taken aback.

“We've never had conflict with Hollow City. Why would they come after us?” Nilou demanded, her tone sharp. “Besides, Hollow City's strength is no match for ours, not on its own!”
