James said helplessly, “If you insist on coming with us, then we’ll have to travel more discreetly.”
“Alright. I’ll arrange for it right away.”
Yelena seemed excited. She immediately made a phone call, and soon a silver Rolls Royce appeared at the castle’s gates.
The number on the license plate was incredibly overt and it was immediately recognizable as the car of the imperial family.
“Princess, this car is still too flashy. We need to keep a low profile. Do you understand the meaning of that word?” James whispered in frustration.
“Huh? Is this still too much? This is already very low-key,” Yelena replied dejectedly.
“We need a cheap and common car. We’ll also need a license plate that doesn’t attract attention.”
Yelena was confused by his request.
After attempting to explain his intent to her several more times, Yelena finally understood. She snapped her fingers and grinned at him. “I get it!”.
She quickly made another phone call.
This time, an ordinary vehicle approached.
James was finally satisfied.
There was a professional driver in the car.
James got the driver to leave and let Henry take the wheel.
Then, he opened the passenger door and moved to get into the car.
However, Yelena tugged his arm before he could get in.
“You should sit in the back with me.”
“What the…”
James wanted to curse but quickly swallowed his words.
He reluctantly got into the back seat.
Yelena hopped into the car with a contented look.
Henry started the car and drove off.
The Queen stood on the castle wall and watched as the car disappeared into the horizon.
An old man stood behind her.
It was the same man that was seated next to her during the morning banquet.
“Your Majesty, are you sure it’s safe to let Yelena go with them?” The old man had a worried expression.
“It’s alright. She’ll be safe.” The Queen’s lips curved in satisfaction.
After James demonstrated his might in the morning, she specifically sent someone to investigate his identity and background.
The person she dispatched had deep connections with Sol and knew some ancient martial artists. Thus,
he was able to acquire a lot of information about James.
“James isn’t some regular joe. Apparently, he’s a once-in-a-century martial art genius that surpassed Callan, the man who defeated Koehler a hundred years ago. Nothing will go wrong with him by her side.”
“By the way, Your Majesty. What do you think of the international martial arts exchange conference organized by Koehler?”
“Koehler has kept to himself and has not shown up in public for many years.
He must realize that his time is almost up, so he intends to redeem himself from the defeat he suffered a hundred years ago. The way he’s chosen to do that seems to be through this conference.”
The Queen paused and continued, “This is an opportunity for us to weaken the Keyes’ influence in Durandal. I hope James won’t disappoint me.”
“Your Majesty is indeed insightful and wise.”
“It’s windy outside here. Let’s head back inside.”
The Queen turned and left.
Meanwhile, Henry had already driven out of the castle’s property.
James contacted Blake, who was far away in the Capital of Sol.
While they were resting, Blake used his connections to contact an influential figure in Durandal’s underworld and set up a meeting for them.
While driving, Henry asked, “Where are we headed to, James?”
James searched for the address that Blake had sent him and skimmed over it. Then, he looked at Yelena beside him and asked, “Yelena, do you know where’s Utarbergh?”
“Of course. It’s a very famous town in Durandal. It’s more than 500 kilometers away from here.”
James instructed Henry. “Then, we’ll head to the airport to get a flight to Utarbergh.”
“Alright.” Henry turned on the navigation system and headed toward the airport.
Yelena chirped curiously. “Hey, why are you going to Utarbergh?”
“Don’t ask. Just follow us quietly, or we’ll send you back if you have any more complaints.”
James chose to keep the purpose of their trip vague, and after replying to her question, he shut his eyes to rest for a while.
At the sight of James’ irritated expression and his overall unenthused attitude towards her, Yelena grit her teeth and clenched her fist. She made a gesture suggesting that she wanted to hit him.
