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 Tribulator 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 planned 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 relay 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.
