"Hmm? Is he from Secret Essences?" Angus Rizzo's pupils slightly contracted.
Although he wasn't from Glavale, the reputation of Secret Essences of Glavale was well-known. As the master of the Wu Du Sect, how could he not have heard of it?
A faint unease rose in his heart, and his right eyelid twitched uncontrollably a few times.
"Do you want to see my identification?" Stout glanced at him.
Angus exhaled a breath and continued, "Even if he's from Secret Essences, so what? This is all his one-sided account. Who knows if he..."
"I'll give you a chance!" Without letting him finish, Billy interrupted him, "Expose the person who ordered you, and I might spare your life."
Angus Rizzo coldly snorted.
"Nonsense. I didn't do this at all, let alone have anyone ordering me!"
"Is that so?" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I recall correctly, a year ago, your Wu Du Sect sent people to participate in that war, didn't you?"
"You should be well aware of the strength and style of the Army of Bloodshadow. In attempting to assassinate me, regardless of whether your people succeeded or not, Tyren would face a great disaster, even leading to its downfall! Not that I'm underestimating you, but your Wu Du Sect, small as it is, doesn't have the guts to bear such consequences unless someone is supporting you from behind! And if I'm not mistaken, this person's status and power in Tyren are definitely not low. They might even have the ability to replace the lord!"
"Am I analyzing it correctly!?"
Upon hearing this, a sound of cold gasps filled the entire hall, and astonishment appeared on the faces of everyone present. Especially the high-ranking members of Tyren in the hall, each of them felt waves of shock.
Hunting's face darkened. Prompted by Billy, he had already realized something. This matter was likely aimed at his position as the king of Tyren.
"I... I have no idea what you're talking about!" Panic in Angus's eyes became more pronounced.
"Don't know what I'm talking about? Let me continue analyzing for you!" Billy picked up his teacup and took another sip.
"In this matter, if it succeeds, the Army of Bloodshadow will attack Tyren. There's no doubt that the ultimate responsibility will fall on your king. At that time, the person behind you will likely fan the flames, and your king will be untenable. Furthermore, the person behind you has probably already received promises from some of my Glavale people."
"They promised him that as long as your king step down, they will operate within Glavale to downplay this matter from a big issue to a small one. And then, he will naturally and logically take the place as the king of Tyren!"
The sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed once again. Billy's words had gone to this extent, and anyone who wasn't a fool would believe it.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Billy set down his teacup and looked calmly at Angua Rizzo.
Just then, Angus shot toward Hunting like a lightning bolt. At this point, he had no illusion left and knew that he might be facing a dead end today. The only possibility was to hold the king hostage, perhaps with a slim chance of survival.
"Hmm!?" Hunting's pupils contracted to the size of needles. While he also possessed cultivation, he was only at the early stage of a Battle God, while Angus Rizzo was already at the mid-stage of Battle God. Moreover, Angus was attacking with all his might, causing Hunting to feel a strong sense of crisis.
