Chapter 3181


    Looking at Xandros, who was captured, Remus wanted to rescue him but was powerless to do So.


    “Let me give you a piece of advice. Even if you’ve seized Mr. Xandros, it’s absolutely impossible for


    you to utilize him to force King Lucian to withdraw his troops. King Lucian is very ambitious. He


    would never give up this opportunity to annex Imperial Beast City just for the sake of his son. If his


    son dies, he can simply produce more offspring. As a Tribtor cultivator, he can easily live for


    hundreds of years anyway. Moreover, he has countless concubines; having a few more sons is


    hardly a challenge to him!” Remus said to Jared.


    “Mr. Quayle, what nonsense are you talking about? My dad wouldn’t disregard me!”


    Xandros bellowed in anger at once after listening to Remus’ speech. Mr. Quayle’s statement is no


    different from sentencing me to death! If I have no value, Jared will surely kill me!


    “Don’t worry. I won’t ask for King Lucian to withdraw his troops. I just want to exchange his son for


    something,” Jared replied.


    He knew that rulers and military leaders were often ruthless. They would never abandon a territory


    within their grasp for the sake of a son. That was why Jared hadn’t nned on using Xandros to


    threaten Lucian into retreating either.

    “What do you want in exchange?” Remus asked.


    “The Divine Bow,” Jared uttered indifferently.


    “The Divine Bow?”


    Remus was instantly shocked. He widened his eyes in bewilderment at Jared. “How could King


    Lucian possibly have the Divine Bow? Have you made a mistake?”


    It seemed Remus was also aware of the Divine Bow’s existence but didn’t know the bow was in


    Lucian’s possession.


    “It doesn’t matter whether he has it or not. Your only duty is to ry the message.” With that, Jared


    started walking back to Imperial Beast City, dragging Xandros with him.


    “Mr. Quayle, save me! You must save me! Hurry up and tell my dad to give that bow to him!”


    Xandros yelled.


    He didn’t know what the Divine Bow was, but regardless, he didn’t think anything was more


    important than his life. Only after Jared hauled Xandros into Imperial Beast City did Remus let out a


    sigh and turn to leave.


    As the duo entered Imperial Beast City, Yuven,. followed by a crowd, approached them.


    As the battle at the foot of the city wall had caught the attention of the soldiers manning the wall,


    they had reported themotion to Yuven.


    When Yuven saw Jared towing Xandros along into the city, he couldn’t help but be stunned and


    asked, “Mr. Chance, w-what’s going on?”


    Yuven was under the impression that Jared had raided the enemy camp at night and captured


    Xandros.


    “This brat sneaked over, and I happened to encounter him, so I caught him,” Jared exined


    nonchntly..


    “That’s great! Now that we’ve taken him captive, King Lucian wouldn’t dare to attack us anymore.


    We can use Xandros to threaten his father to retreat,” Ivasha chirped while looking at Xandros,


    whose face was swollen and filled with fear.


    “You’re oversimplifying the matter. There’s no way King Lucian will withdraw his troops just to save


    Xandros,” Yuven responded.


    “Why not? Would he just watch his son die?” Ivasha was baffled, unable to wrap her mind around


    her father’s words. However, Yuven didn’t answer, nor did he know how to exin because that was


    just the way of royal families.


    If Ivasha were to be held hostage, and Yuven were given the choice to save her by giving up


    Imperial Beast City, he reckoned he wouldn’t abandon the city either.


    The reason was that he couldn’t sacrifice the entire Imperial Beast City and its soldiers for the sake


    of one person, no matter who that person was.


    Noticing Yuven caught in an awkward position, Jared hastily uttered, “All right. Let’s not discuss this


    anymore. It doesn’t matter even if they attack the city tomorrow. I’ve set up an offensive arcane


    array outside the city wall. If they dare to attack, a one-way trip to hell awaits them!”


    “I feel so much more at ease with you around, Mr. Chance.” Yuven nodded, then instructed his


    subordinates to lock Xandros up in the dungeon.


    Subsequently, everyone went to rest, preparing to face the great battle the next day.
