In the end, it was the Imperial Decree Officer who first admitted defeat.
The Imperial Decree Officer chuckled lightly, breaking the heavy and oppressive atmosphere, and said, "Lord Lu Hong, you truly have remarkable self-restraint. I have experienced it firsthand."
Although these words seemed to praise Lu Hong, they were actually a veiled criticism of Lu Hong's disloyalty to the realm's master. But Lu Hong wasn't from the Dark Continent, so why should he regard Rongtian's Master as his sovereign and father?
Lu Hong also laughed heartily in response: "Your insight is admirable, esteemed sir. I, Lu, have always dealt with others politely. Your task of delivering the decree must have been tiresome. Why not enter Photon City to rest for a while before making further arrangements?"
