There was chaos in the venue, the princess Ai was kidnapped, this is a big thing, neither the royal family nor the Ogden family, who are about to be married, can tolerate such a thing! Especially the Duke of Vernon, who held the ball this time, was almost dizzy with anger, this was an opportunity for him to be loyal to the second prince and show favor to the Ogden family. And how to get along in the aristocratic circle? I'm afraid that after today, the entire Velma family will have to become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle because of this incident!
In order to be able to leave the imperial capital safely, Rick reluctantly chose Catherine's "Jianyì", in the name of kidnapping Elle in this ball, forcing the nobles and various strong people to throw a rat bogey, so that Rick could leave the imperial capital with Eri.
Rick smiled and shook the dagger resting on Elle's neck, to be honest, Rick felt that he was doing a very good job of such a hijacking, and it seemed that he had the potential to be a hijacker.
The constantly shaking dagger on Elle's neck continued to attract the exclamations of many women in charge, until the entire venue was silent, Rick nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Very good, you seem to have calmed down, so that we can communicate easily, so that the next negotiation can reach a satisfactory result for both parties, do you say?" His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Oh, and Lord Count Ressel? β
"Say? What exactly do you want? The second prince, Jonad, said quietly.
"Very good, Your Royal Highness Second Prince, it seems that you understand the current situation very well. You know. I managed to sneak into the Duke of Vernon's ball. Of course, it can't be for a little profit, and in the same way, I don't dare to do anything to Her Royal Highness Princess Elle, I can't afford to mess with the royal family and the Ogden family, but if you do anything rashly, then I can't guarantee that my dagger will have a close contact with Her Royal Highness's thin white neck, you must know that this dagger has a strong poison on it, just lightly touch the blood. I believe that even the Pope of the Holy See of Light will not be able to save Her Royal Highness the beautiful Princess! So, should a few sneaky friends over there give up on your behind-the-scenes actions? β
The voice pointed directly at the direction behind Rick and Elle, the senior knight and mage of You, obviously with at least earth-level strength and advanced cultivation at the level of a magister, was secretly moving towards Rick when Rick spoke, and even one of the mages directly used stealth magic that few people could use, but under the shroud of Rick's divine sense, he became unrecognizable.
Feeling the pressure exerted by Rick and the dagger that was already extremely close to Elle's neck, Jonad waved his hand helplessly, signaling his men to leave, he didn't want any accidents to happen. And the same is true of Risel.
"All right, Your Excellency. You don't have to threaten us, don't worry, no one will risk the safety of the princess to attack you, now please tell your conditions, as long as I am not very demanding in the name of the royal family, I will definitely agree to any of your conditions beyond our ability! But if you dare to hurt the princess, then you will suffer the madness of the entire Sea and Sky Empire! Jonad said solemnly.
"Please let go of your past first, we can promise you all the conditions!" Ryser said anxiously.
Nodding, Rick said: "Don't worry, my hands are very stable, as long as you don't make any boring moves, then there is no problem with the safety of the princess, well, now let's talk about the ransom issue first, I think 50 million gold coins shouldn't be a problem for the royal family, right?" β
"Oh my God! This madman actually asked for 50 million gold coins! A young nobleman in the room exclaimed.
50 million gold coins! In the aristocratic hierarchy of the Haitian Empire, even if it is a duke family, the annual income is only 10 million gold coins, and 50 million is the total income of the duke family for the entire five years, of course, this is only announced to the public, and no one knows what secret income is inside.
And a regular army of 500,000 people, the annual consumption of troops and all kinds of materials is only 8 million gold coins, and 50 million is also enough to raise an army of 1 million for several years, and the price offered by Rick is definitely a reason to scream!
However, Jonad did already have the demeanor of a future emperor, and almost did not agree with a blushing face: "Yes, 50 million gold coins, I guess you still need a space ring, right?" I'll give it to you all together! Turning his head to whisper a few words to a relative next to him, he hurried away.
A little surprised, he was about to say that he was going to prepare space equipment, this Jonad had already thought about it for himself, it seems that this person is indeed extremely shrewd, and in some respects he does have commendable skills.
"Very good, since His Royal Highness the Second Prince has thought so thoughtfully, then we will negotiate the next step, and the ransom has been negotiated, so can you guarantee my departure?
"No problem, as long as you take the ransom and let go of the princess and leave the Haitian Empire immediately, then you are leaving the Haitian Empire for safety, I guarantee you can leave safely in the honor of the royal family!
"Well, is it that after I leave the Sea and Sky Empire, I will be hunted down by the Killer Guild" I can't guarantee this! β
"Very good, you are very honest, but I can't believe your assurance, you are now only a quarter of the territory of the Haitian Empire, and you are not qualified to guarantee the entire Haitian Empire!" Rick shook his head, his face showed a promise to Jonad, in fact, he also wanted to brush this guy's face here, so that he mistakenly thought that he was sent by other hostile forces to brush his face as the future emperor, and the opportunity to divert his gaze, of course Rick would not waste it.
"You!" Jonad's face became even more ugly, and he was thinking about Rick's origin in the direction that Rick wanted.
"In this way, in the name of the Ogden Golden Family, I guarantee that as long as you release Her Royal Highness the Princess, then if you are embarrassed by anyone when you leave the Sea and Sky Empire, you will suffer the crazy revenge of our Ogden Golden Family! What do you think? Riser said with a sworn face.
Rick still shook his head, as if thinking about something, and said after a while: "Okay, I don't want to trouble either, I need a boat, I will leave your territory by boat, and when I get to the border of your territory, I will put the princess back in ......"
Before he finished speaking, he immediately encountered everyone's opposition.
"No, how can this be!"
"Your Royal Highness, don't believe the words of this evil root!"
"Yes! Do you know if this person will be released back to Her Royal Highness at that time? What if I don't let it go? β
Jonad stared at Rick carefully and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that this kind of idea of yours is difficult for us to accept!" I think it's better for you to let the princess go, and leave directly with the calf! β
"No, no, no, you don't have a choice, I need to leave, but I don't feel safe by land, it's better to leave by boat, I think your naval corps should have warships on standby outside the imperial capital, right?" Just give me one, I believe there should be no problem, right? β
Rick is gambling, betting that Jonad doesn't know the true strength of that mysterious man Bruce, otherwise, Jonad will definitely not be as easy to talk as he is now, and the Holy Magister's domain will be able to control a single qiΔ in the domain, so Rick's so-called threat will not be able to be implemented normally.
Jonad sank, and Rick's words suppressed him everywhere, which made him very angry, but Elle was in Rick's hands, but Jonad was also a rat thrower, and the actions of his subordinates were also discovered by Rick, which really made him a little embarrassed! Today's person is really going to lose face, the princess of the dignified empire was kidnapped, and she was extorted a full 50 million gold coins, and now she is a "bandit"
I want to take the talisman card of Ai Bao'er and leave his control range, I'm afraid that even if it is really as the "bandits" said that Ai Jia'er will be released, the 50 million gold coins will not be able to be taken back, and it is estimated that it will definitely be robbed by the eldest prince and the fourth prince who received the news, right?
Especially the eldest prince, Jonad's eldest brother, he is short of money over there, isn't this an enemy? Even Jonad's fourth brother, the fourth prince is trying to feed the wolf in the dark sky, and wants some troops to defend his southern territory!
Jonad couldn't help but hate the forces behind Rick openly, what a root! Not only did he greatly reduce his prestige, but he could also get such a huge amount of money, but he also had to accept it, because the plan to marry the Ogden family was absolutely unchangeable, otherwise, the shape of the Haitian Empire would be more and more unfavorable to him Jonad, even if he barely withstood his eldest brother's army, it would be a three-point sea and sky situation, Jonad couldn't accept such a situation, what he wanted was the emperor of a superpower, not a king of a middle country with only economic advantages!
As the cronies sent out earlier returned with the ring containing 50 million gold coins, Jonad nodded fiercely and said, "Okay! Since this is the case, then you should wait for the crazy revenge of all the Haitian people after leaving the Haitian Empire! But before that, I can agree to your request, this is a space ring that holds 50 million gold coins, you can accept it first! Jonad then tossed the ring he had just received to Rick.
Rick continued to compare the dagger to Ai Ji'er's neck with one hand, caught the ring with the other, and randomly divided a part of his divine sense to check the situation in the ring, more than sixty tons of gold were quietly stuffed into hundreds of cubic meters of space ring, it seems that Jonad was not cheating in it, Rick put it in his pocket casually, and actually put it into his own space ring, "Yes, since this is the case, then everyone, you can give way, you see that the moonlight is just right now, and now you can prepare the warship, I will release the princess at the junction of the territories of your two princes in the south! Before leaving, Rick glanced at the mysterious Bruce, this person sat in the dark corner next to him from beginning to end, ignoring everything that happened in the ball, as if it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even release his spirit, but Rick kept most of his consciousness firmly in his direction, beware of this person from breaking out, but until now, didn't this person vote for *Jonad? (To be continued......)
