Chapter 2716

“Ah …………”

With a furious hiss, Huben lunged at Kai once again!

However, Kai swiftly drew his Dragon Chopping Sword. A flash of cold light appeared as the blade was pressed firmly against Huben’s neck!

The sudden chill brought Huben back to his senses!

Gazing at the Dragon Chopping Sword in Kai’s grip, panic flickered in Huben’s eyes!

“Are you really going to kill me?”

“Let me remind you, I am the esteemed general of the imperial city’s guards. If you take my life, you won’t be able to leave this place!”

Huben threatened Kai with a fierce glare!

“If you weren’t the Great General of the Imperial City Guard, you’d already be losing your head. Now, get out of here!”

Kai spoke coldly, unwavering in his stance!

Feeling the intensity of Kai’s murderous intent, Huben clenched his teeth, ultimately choosing to retreat!

“Just wait, I won’t let this go unpunished ……”

After walking a short distance, Huben turned back and roared at Kai!

Unfazed, Kai sheathed his Dragon Chopping Sword and fixed a cold stare at Li Xing!

Li Xing said nothing and simply walked away!

Instead of returning home, Li Xing headed straight to Huben’s mansion!

As the great general of the Imperial City guards, Huben must be seething with anger after being publicly humiliated by Kai!

Moreover, Li Xing was aware that Huben had his sights set on Isha and harbored feelings for her!

“Ah ………… I’m so furious! How dare that little human humiliate me like this!”

“I must kill him! I absolutely must kill him ……”

Upon returning to his mansion, Huben began to smash anything in sight, venting his frustration!

A few slaves stood nearby, trembling in fear!

Just then, Li Xing entered with a smile. Huben was taken aback to see him!

Yet, in his anger, Huben coldly questioned Li Xing, “What brings you here?”

“Are you here to witness my disgrace?”

After all, Li Xing was also vying for Isha’s hand, and anyone who sought to take her from him was his adversary!

This included Knight Star …

“Great General Huben, how could I possibly laugh at your misfortune? Given our ages, I should still refer to you as an elder brother. As your junior, I would never mock you!”

Li Xing said, a faint smile on his face!

It was clear that Knight Star had humbled himself significantly; as the prince of Ming Li King City, he had no need to lower his status!

Yet, Knight Star aimed to gauge the strength of Demon Emperor City and facilitate its annexation!

As the commander of the Imperial City’s guards, winning Huben to his side would greatly simplify the process!

Although Huben remained angry, he found himself somewhat flattered by Li Xing’s brotherly address!

After all, being called “brother” by a prince was quite an honor!

“Prince Knight Star, though you hold royal status, I am merely a general. Please, do not address me in such a manner!”

Huben replied, adjusting his tone!

“Brother Huben, titles matter little to me. I admire your character, and if you don’t mind, I would be honored to consider you a brother!”

“That way, I could refer to you as Brother in name only!”

Li Xing said earnestly!

Huben’s face lit up with surprise; he never envisioned that Knight Star, a prince, would wish to bond with him in such a way!

However, after a moment, Huben shook his head and replied, “Prince Knight Star, you mustn’t! Soon, you will be the son-in-law of our Princess Isa, the aunt of our Demon Emperor City. How could we possibly form such a bond?”
