“I’ve heard that the prince of Allardland was ill, but he doesn’t seem sick at all!” Archibald uttered.
“His Highness is indeed unwell. Our journey to the depths of the sea this time, accompanied by Allardland, is in pursuit of the whale beast. We want to use the oil of the whale beast to cure His Highness’ ailment.”
Carlo improvised.
He hadn’t expected that Sky Slasher Sect, which had spent years overseas, would actually be aware of Cedric’s illness.
“Are we supposed to just believe he’s Prince Cedric? Do you have any proof?”
Archibald seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
As long as he could confirm that Jared was not Cedric, he would be able to exact his revenge. He had been publicly humiliated by Jared, and he was determined to take revenge.
Jared took a step forward and asked, “Do you want to see the proof?”
Archibald nodded. “Of course! How else would know if you’re Prince Cedric?”
Jared let out a cold snort, looking disdainfully at Archibald as he said, “Hmph! Have you looked at your own behavior? Do you really think you’re worthy? If you want to see the evidence, I can show it to you. But first, you’ll have to beat me!”
“You…”
Archibald flew into a rage, ready to lash out at Jared.
Upon seeing the situation, Ventus quickly intercepted Archibald. He then turned to Jared and said, “My fellow cultivator, we only want to verify something, nothing more. In fact, we have long admired Allardland.”
“Seeing that you’re speaking politely, I suppose I can show you…”
With that, Jared tossed the token he held directly to Ventus.
That was indeed the genuine token of Allardland, so Jared had absolutely no fear of anyone seeing it.
After receiving the token, Ventus discovered that it was indeed authentic. The token even bore the unique seal and aura of Allardland.
Given that he was holding the token from Allardland, Jared’s identity was thereby confirmed.
Archibald looked at the token, a wave of fear washing over him. He realized the unthinkable consequences he would face had he decided to lay a hand on Jared just moments ago.
Upon recognizing the authenticity of the token, Ventus returned it to Jared, intending to engage in a polite exchange with him. “It’s really you, Your Highness… We…”
Yet, unexpectedly, as soon as Jared got the token, he headed straight into the cabin, completely ignoring Ventus.
As the prince of Allardland, it was only natural for him to have a bit of an attitude.
Seeing the situation, Ventus started to feel somewhat awkward.
“Mr. Mulligan, that’s just how His Highness is. You don’t need to worry too much about it!” Carlo said.
“Oh! I don’t mind it one bit. I apologize for taking up His Highness’ time!”
Ventus wouldn’t dare to mind the attitude shown. After all, that was the prince of Allardland.
In the entire Ethereal Realm, the power of Allardland was unquestionably among the top contenders.
Aside from a few reclusive sects and the dominion of certain governors, it seemed no one dared to cross Allardland.
Even Demon Seal Alliance, when encountering people from Allardland, wouldn’t dare to provoke them.
“Mr. Mulligan, can we leave now?” Carlo asked.
“Of course! You may leave. Please do make sure to bring His Highness to our little island for a visit. As for the oil of the whale beast, we, Sky Slasher Sect, already have it. There’s no need to search everywhere for it,” Ventus said.
At this point, Ventus wanted to curry favor with Jared. If they could establish a good relationship with Allardland, they wouldn’t have to survive on that desolate island year after year.
“No problem!” Carlo nodded.
Quickly, the spirit ship began to move forward at a leisurely pace. Ventus and his group could only watch as Jared’s spirit ship slowly disappeared from their sight.
Upon seeing the departing spirit ship, Archibald said with a slight furrow in his brow, “Mr. Mulligan, is that man really a prince from Allardland? I keep feeling something’s not right!”
“The token is authentic. There shouldn’t be any mistakes. Plus, if it could make the head of Duad Formation Sect personally act as a guard, then that person’s identity must be no simple matter,” Ventus said.
