1179 Let Them Die
In the monitoring center of the s.p.a.ce station on Planet Ricardo.
Paramel frowned as he looked at the scene playing on the virtual screen in silence.
The scene on the virtual screen was the scene that had happened outside and in Lone Star City.
The loud declaration of that fatty and his companion, the reaction of the crowd below, and the conflict between them and Chu Nan were all clearly displayed on the virtual screen without any mistakes.
!!After looking at it for a while, a deputy of Paramel leaned over and asked softly, “Commander, do you think… we should do something? Otherwise, at this rate, I’m afraid those princes and princesses will be in danger…”
Paramel frowned deeply and did not answer.
He indeed did not expect that the other young martial artists partic.i.p.ating in the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly would actually join forces like this and target the descendants of the royal family of the empire.
Due to the Declan Empire, the descendants of the royal family partic.i.p.ating in the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly were originally the targets of attention. If they were really allowed to develop freely according to the current situation, it was not strange for them to be surrounded by those partic.i.p.ating martial artists from other countries.
However, compared to what danger they might encounter, Paramel was more concerned about another problem.
It was not strange for others to know that those descendants of the royal family would use Spatial Extermination to escape. This was something that could not be hidden to begin with, but how did those guys know the existence of the Star-Grade Martial Artists?
Could it be that Chu Nan had leaked it?
However, from the conflict between that group of people and Chu Nan, it did not seem to be the case.
Moreover, Chu Nan’s relationship with Princess Romanti and Princess Viennelle seemed to be good. If he really hated the descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire like those easily incited idiots, he would not have saved her previously, let alone spend so much effort to help her recover after this.
If he really wanted to target the descendants of the royal family of the empire, just announcing the matter of Princess Viennelle was enough.
The Garden Hunting a.s.sembly held by the royal family of the Declan Empire received much attention from the outside world. Although because of the persistence of the royal family of the Declan Empire, no media was allowed to broadcast interviews at close range, the information about the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly was still continuously reported by the outside world. Once such a huge piece of news was made, not only would he, the commander in charge of the first stage, and the entire compet.i.tion’s organizing committee, but even the entire royal family and the entire empire would suffer great pressure.
Although Paramel had not interacted with Chu Nan many times, he could tell that this kid was not the kind of young man who was extremely shrewd or did not know the severity of things and only knew how to be impulsive. Therefore, he believed that this matter had nothing to do with him.
However, it was precisely because of this that it was even more important to know how this matter happened and who the mastermind was behind it.
After thinking for a moment, Paramel ordered his a.s.sistant beside him, “Pa.s.s down the order to strengthen the monitoring of the entire planet. In addition, inform Supremacy Yamucha and the others that I hope they’ll work harder these few days, because more descendants of the royal family might encounter danger. Moreover, if I’m not wrong, there’s a high chance that some of those young martial artists from other countries know how to deal with Spatial Extermination. Therefore, those descendants of the royal family might really lose their lives if they’re not careful. We have to be vigilant and be prepared at any time…”
“There’s no need!”
A clear voice suddenly sounded from the door of the monitoring room and interrupted Paramel.
Everyone in the monitoring room was immediately stunned and turned around in unison.
Paramel was even more shocked. He turned around and his gaze landed on the person who was walking in from the door. He said in surprise and joy, “Your Highness, when did you return?”
The person who suddenly entered was Prince Lekas, who had left for many days!
Prince Lekas strode into the monitoring room and glanced at the chaotic scene that was still playing on the virtual screen. He chuckled and nodded at Paramel, “I just arrived. I didn’t expect to hear such a thing happen as soon as I arrived. It’s really surprising.”
Paramel immediately looked awkward and lowered his head in shame.
“Your Highness, this is a mistake in my work. Please punish me.”
“Are you sure it’s your work mistake?” Prince Lekas looked at Paramel with a faint smile.
Hearing the mockery and mockery in Prince Lekas’s tone, Paramel looked up at him in surprise and frowned slightly.
“Your Highness, you mean…”
Prince Lekas turned to look at the virtual screen again. He seemed to be answering Paramel, but he also seemed to be muttering to himself.
“It’s not only these young kids from other places who don’t like our Empire’s royal family…”
Paramel’s expression immediately became strange. Countless bad rumors instantly flashed through his mind. He did not dare to answer Prince Lekas at all. He only lowered his head again and remained silent.
After a strange silence, Prince Lekas suddenly laughed.
“Ha, Paramel, don’t you think this is a good opportunity?”
“A good opportunity?” Paramel looked up at Prince Lekas in surprise again.
“Yes. Have you forgotten that I’ve always been very against those old fellows forcing every member of the royal family to learn Spatial Extermination? I’m even more against them inviting a few Star-Grade Martial Artists to protect these brats.”
Paramel was stunned, but then he recalled that this was indeed Prince Lekas’s usual saying. Moreover, he did not only say this in front of him. It was said that he had even expressed this in public at an internal meeting of the royal family before holding the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly.
“In my opinion, this has already violated the tradition of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly! Why has our royal family of Declan still stood at the top of the Milky Way for so many years and ruled a huge empire? We don’t rely on others to protect us and let others be our nanny! Why hold the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly? It’s to let these brats continuously train themselves in the bloodiest and cruelest battles and choose the strongest person from the most direct elimination to inherit the honor of the royal family!”
As he spoke, Prince Lekas actually looked excited and became impa.s.sioned. He pointed at the virtual screen and raised his voice.
“If they can’t even deal with these brats from other places, what qualifications do they have to be called members of the royal family of Declan in the future?”
After saying that, Prince Lekas suddenly turned around and stared at Paramel. He said in a low voice, “Listen carefully, Paramel. You’re not allowed to interfere, nor are you allowed to let Yamucha and the others interfere in advance. If they have to use Spatial Extermination to escape, it’s the same as giving up. Since they chose not to shoulder the honor of the royal family anymore, saving these geniuses who can no longer be considered royal can show the mercy of the empire.”
“However, if they don’t use Spatial Extermination, it means that they still haven’t given up on the honor in their hearts and still chose to fight. After making such a choice, even if they die, they’re still a member of the royal family and a member worthy of my pride! Do you understand what I mean?”
Paramel smiled bitterly and thought for a moment. He could not help but ask, “But Your Highness… what if one of them uses Spatial Extermination but is stopped by others midway and can’t completely use it, causing them to be unable to escape? What should we do?”
Prince Lekas’s expression turned even colder.
“If they can’t even use the cultivation method to escape, let them die.”
Prince Lekas’s words echoed in the entire monitoring room. Countless people, including Paramel, looked at the cold Prince Lekas and were momentarily speechless.
