Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System
170 A Royal Audience
Determined not to let the Divine-grade weapon slip through their fingers, Zhang Feng and Wu Xian contacted their respective headquarters, requesting reinforcements. They knew that if they were to take such drastic action, they would need additional manpower and resources to ensure the success of their plan. The leaders emphasized the significance of the Divine-grade weapon and the potential advantage it could provide their organization, convincing their headquarters to send skilled cultivators to aid in their quest.
As the reinforcements arrived, both factions began to prepare contingency plans detailing every aspect of their potential heist. They studied the layout of the Khaleesi Auction House, identified escape routes, and analyzed potential security measures. They also considered the timing of their attack, aiming to catch their rivals off guard and minimize the risk of interference from other factions.
Despite their meticulous planning, the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons remained cautious, knowing that their rival faction was also vying for the Divine-grade weapon. They maintained their intelligence-gathering efforts, hoping to stay ahead of their competitors and anticipate any moves they might make.
While the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons were busy preparing for the auction, Han Dai, as the owner of the Khaleesi Auction House, had other plans in mind. He was on his way to the royal court of the Mystic Sky Kingdom, bearing gifts for the emperor and his family.
Upon arriving at the royal palace, Han Dai was asked to wait outside until he was summoned. Patiently, he stood outside the majestic palace, his eyes taking in the impressive architecture and opulence that surrounded him. The intricate designs and decorations etched into the stone walls and the sheer size of the palace left him in awe. The air around the palace was filled with a sense of importance and respect for the power it represented.
Inside the royal court, the atmosphere was one of grandeur and solemnity. Rich tapestries adorned the walls, and the hall was illuminated by the soft, warm glow of flickering candles. High, vaulted ceilings gave the court a sense of both spaciousness and authority.
The emperor of the Mystic Sky Kingdom sat on his throne, a powerful figure who exuded wisdom and authority. His features were sharp, his eyes piercing, and his beard, a symbol of his age and experience, reached down to his chest. His regal attire displayed his status and reinforced the weight of his position.
Beside him, Crown Prince Tianyu sat on a slightly lower throne, attentively observing the proceedings. As the heir to the throne, he was being groomed to someday rule the kingdom, and his presence in the court was an essential part of his education. The prince was a younger version of his father, sharing many of the emperor's striking features but with an air of eagerness and curiosity that came with his youth.
Numerous ministers filled the court, their robes denoting their rank and importance within the kingdom. They sat in rows according to their status, each one waiting for their turn to address the emperor. But the three most important advisors to the emperor sat closest to him: Minister Huang Lei, Minister Shen Hao, and Minister Liao Jun. These three individuals held significant power in the kingdom, shaping policies and decisions that would impact the lives of millions. Their wisdom and experience were invaluable assets to the emperor, and their positions at his side were a testament to their influence within the royal court.
As the court session continued, Minister Liao Jun spoke, "Your Majesty, today you are scheduled to meet the owner of the Khaleesi Auction House."
The emperor's interest was piqued. "Is it true that they are auctioning a Divine-grade weapon?"
Minister Liao Jun nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. That is the reason he requested an audience with you."
The emperor considered this for a moment before speaking, "The court will end for today. Only my three advisors shall remain." Hearing this, the other ministers and courtiers filed out of the hall, leaving the emperor, the crown prince, and the three ministers alone.
After the courtiers had left, the emperor instructed his ministers to invite the Khaleesi Auction House owner inside. When Han Dai entered, he saw the emperor, the crown prince, and the three ministers waiting for him. He approached them, bowed, and offered his greetings.
Behind Han Dai, three servants entered, each carrying a beautifully wrapped gift box. The servants stepped forward and placed the gifts in front of the emperor.
Han Dai spoke, "Your Majesty, as this humble servant is meeting you for the first time, I have brought some gifts for you. I hope Your Majesty does not mind."
The emperor nodded in acknowledgment, and one of the guards stepped forward to pick up one of the gift boxes and brought it to the crown prince. As the crown prince opened the box, the room filled with gasps of astonishment. Inside lay the highest grade of spirit jade, a precious and rare cultivation material.
Crown Prince Tianyu signaled for another guard to open the second gift box. This one contained the highest quality of spirit nectar, another highly sought-after cultivation material. The third box revealed a treasure trove of medium-grade spirit stones.
The emperor, clearly pleased with the gifts, said, "Merchant Khaleesi, I am delighted with your offerings, but they are far too precious. What requests do you have of me?"
Han Dai spoke, "Your Majesty, I have concerns about the potential for trouble at the upcoming auction. The presence of a Divine-grade weapon could attract unwanted attention and even attempts to steal it."
Emperor became furious, "What insolence! How dare someone even think of robbing a respected merchant in my kingdom!"
Crown Prince Tianyu spoke, "Father, we cannot allow such an act to take place. It would harm our kingdom's reputation."

Gifts are always appreciated, but golden tickets and power stones matter a lot too—
If we reach 1500 power stones, I will release a supplementary chapter.
