After Lion King left, Bear King poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Then, he chuckled and said, “Why was he so dramatic? Didn’t he pretend to have a good relationship with his half-brother? What kind of relationship did he have with his half-brother? Could it be that he’s been pretending for so long that he’s started to believe it himself?”

“That’s what it means to fake it convincingly. Existences like us have to show an obvious weakness to others.” Tiger King also drank a cup of wine indifferently.

“That’s true. But isn’t Lion King’s brother too unreliable? What kind of identity did he have to go to Zhongyun to assassinate someone for 100,000 Vulture dollars? Does he think he can dominate the world with the name of Lion King?” Bear King clicked its tongue and shook its head.

“Heh, stop joking, Second Brother. We kings also have such unreliable fellows around us.” Tiger King shook his head.

“Uh…” Bear King was speechless for a moment because he remembered that there was such an unreliable fellow around him.

After drinking a mouthful of wine to calm his mind, Bear King continued to ask, “How should we deal with this? Zhongyun is not to be trifled with.”

Tiger King said, “It has nothing to do with Zhongyun. It’s only a target worth 100,000, so it’s not someone important. However, they must be stronger than Lion King’s brother. Seeing that Brother Lion King’s guards don’t dare to return, it’s obvious that Brother Lion King’s fate is obvious.”

“Haha, any of our subordinates is more powerful than Lion King’s brother. That guy is trash!” Bear King laughed.

“Humph, he’s spoiled and overestimates himself. He’s a piece of trash.” Tiger King laughed in disdain.

Then, he said solemnly, “This matter is nothing to the Beast King Palace and the Lion King. However, that fellow is using the name of the Lion King to flaunt himself everywhere. He already represents a portion of the Lion King’s prestige, and the majesty of the Lion King is naturally the majesty of our Beast King Palace.”

“Therefore, if we don’t deal with this matter, the prestige of the Beast King Palace will be weakened, especially when those hostile factions stir up trouble.”

Bear King’s expression turned serious. “That’s true. But are we going to send people to Zhongyun for revenge? Or directly report it to the Special Protection Department?”

“Where can I inform the Special Protection Department? Do you want this joke to spread all over the world? We can only send people to take revenge, but we can’t send powerful people from the Beast King Palace. Our elites shouldn’t be sent out for such a ridiculous matter.” Tiger King said.

“What do you mean? Send those trash? Isn’t that suicide?” Bear King frowned.

“Hehe, Lion King has a lot of treasures. I have to help him consume some.” Tiger King smiled meaningfully.

“Understood.” Bear King immediately understood. “I do have to help Lion King expend some treasures.”

Tiger King grabbed the bottle of wine and poured it while saying, “Therefore, let’s set a rule first. The person or faction that killed Lion King’s brother must suffer revenge. Otherwise, how can our Beast King Palace stand firm in the current world?”

“However, we cannot start a conflict with Zhongyun. Thus, only the Lion King’s forces can go. I believe that Lion King will not lose his elites. He knows what to do.”

“I’ve already sent the news to the kings.” He raised his glass.

Bear King also raised his wine cup. “Yes, Lion King is a smart person. He knows what to do.”

“Haha, cheers!”

“Cheers!”

——-

In Lion King’s territory, the current Lion King was no longer as sorrowful as before. Instead, his expression was indifferent as he listened to the consolation calls from the kings on the other end of the phone.

“I understand. Don’t worry. I know what to do. I won’t lose face for the Beast King Palace, and I won’t trigger the warning line.” Lion King hung up.

The subordinate who had been waiting by the side for a long time began to report on the investigation of Lion King’s younger brother.

The information was very detailed. It included the time and place where Lion King’s brother had received a bounty from the dark web, how he had prepared, who he had brought with him, the time and place he had left when he had arrived in Zhongyun, where he had gone, and where he had gone missing.

“Are you sure he wanted to show off and accepted the bounty? No one instigated him?” Lion King asked.

“If it isn’t instigation when his friends talk about the might of assassins.” the subordinate replied.

“Get rid of his friends.” Lion King waved his hand coldly.

“Yes, sir!” The subordinate accepted the order. This matter was simple. As long as it was not the people of the kings, they could even deal with the children of high officials in Gallia.

And the descendants of the kings would not play together, so this mission was foolproof.

Lion King listened as he read the follow-up information. When he saw a paragraph, he could not help but frown and ask, “He went to Zhongyun to carry out an assassination mission. The Special Protection Department of Zhongyun didn’t stop him. Instead, Bauhinia Legion was trying to obstruct him?”

“Um, we found out that the stationed members of the Bauhinia Legion in Riverside City, Zhongyun were the ones obstructing him. I’m not sure if that counts as the Bauhinia Legion’s opposition,” the subordinate hesitated and said.

“Tsk, a city-level garrison. With the vast majority of its top leaders coming from Zhongyun, they dare to blatantly install their people there. Zhongyun still hasn’t eliminated them. Their relationship is really good. Our Beast King Palace can’t even send garrison personnel to all the provinces and cities in the Gallia Nation.” Lion King smacked his lips in envy.

The subordinate didn’t say anything, but he cursed in his heart.

What a joke. Even though the Bauhinia Legion did things for their benefit, when it came to the interests of Zhongyun, as long as there was no conflict of interest between the two parties, they would be inclined to help Zhongyun!

If it wasn’t for the fact that the other countries would be wary of allies, and it would be inconvenient for them to move around, the Bauhinia Legion would have allied with Zhongyun long ago!

Hence, Zhongyun turned a blind eye to the actions of the Bauhinia Legion.

On the other hand, the Beast King Palace treated the territory they occupied as a private kingdom. The officials of the Gallia would be crazy to allow the Beast King Palace to send people to guard the various provinces and cities in the country.

Even if the officials of the Gallia went crazy and agreed, the other extraordinary organizations would not allow it!

After all, the Bauhinia Legion was one of the top eight extraordinary organizations in the world. They had a reputation wherever they went.

The Beast King Palace might be one of the best in the Gallia Nation and the surrounding small countries, but in the world, it would not even be ranked in the top 100!

Of course, these words could only be silently criticized. Those who did not dare to say it, even in private, did not dare to say it because this was courting death.

“It shouldn’t be the Bauhinia Legion’s obstruction. It’s just the obstruction of a mere city guard. I think the bounty target has a personal relationship with this city guard.” Lion King made his judgment.

“Bring me a map of Zhongyun,” Lion King said.

Immediately, a large and detailed satellite map of Zhongyun appeared in front of him. His subordinate also obediently circled the location of Riverside City with a pointer.

“There’s a river, and it’s close to the sea. No wonder it’s called Riverside City.” Lion King rubbed his chin and muttered.

“Dijon,” Lion King called out his name in a low voice.

“Lion King!” A skinny man with slightly tanned skin came out and bowed.

Lion King turned his wrist, and a green flat box appeared in his hand. He then threw it to Dijon. “Take these 30 seeds and head to Riverside City. You are allowed to confirm your target. After activating the seed, you can leave Zhongyun immediately.”

Dijon, who had received the box, did not move, but a hint of panic flashed across his face. However, after hearing this, he immediately knelt and said resolutely, “Lion King, I will complete the mission! ”

Lion King’s order made everyone present, who was initially pulling a long face, involuntarily soften their expressions.

Lion King laughed. “You guys, I’m not stupid enough to take elites like you to be buried with my stupid brother. If it weren’t for the pressure from the kings, I wouldn’t even want to use those 30 seeds!”

“Lion King, you’ve endured too much humiliation.” Everyone immediately sighed.

“This is nothing. It’s just a rule. If the other kings encountered this kind of thing, I would also use words to suppress them and make them lose a portion of their strength.” Lion King waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

After saying that, he spoke to the subordinate who reported, “Galava, prepare the seed’s weapon. We must let Zhongyun understand that this is my, Lion King’s, revenge, but we don’t want to be caught red-handed.”

Galava immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, Lion King. I’ll handle it properly.”

“Right, Dijon, find my brother’s guards and execute them. I don’t blame them for not protecting my brother. I blame them for not daring to come back to see me! Someone else told me about my brother. I can’t tolerate their mistake!” Lion King finally said.

“Yes! I will make them regret not being able to appreciate your tolerance and kindness, Lion King!” Dijon said furiously.
