Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 506 - 335: The Princess’s Invitation

(Chapter 333 released)

Ji Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

With Princess Sofia’s power and influence, finding someone in Ivangrad was too easy. Disguises could fool ordinary people but not the ubiquitous facial recognition systems.

Both he and Man Ying did not speak the language of the New Roman Empire; they relied on the real-time translation feature of their sunglasses while touring Ivangrad today.

However, Princess Sofia was speaking the language of the Asia-Pacific Community. Although with an accent, she spoke it very fluently, clearly having put a lot of effort into mastering the language.

In the New Roman Empire, not many people spoke the language of the Asia-Pacific Community.

When Sofia spoke, she also performed a lady’s etiquette gesture.

You don’t hit a smiling face, so Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying exchanged a look, took off their sunglasses, stood up and replied, "Your Highness."

"Do you mind if I sit down?" Sofia asked politely.

"Please, feel free."

Ji Xinghuo made a gesture inviting her to sit.

"Thank you." A Legendary Bodyguard beside Sofia immediately pulled out a chair for her; after she softly expressed her thanks, she took a seat.

The Princess’s every move was graceful, demonstrating good manners befitting her noble birth.

It was only then that the other guests around realized that the couple sitting beside them were actually the first and second ranked on the ladder, and they watched the pair unblinkingly, their eyes filled with curiosity, quietly whispering to their friends, and some even taking out their phones to take pictures.

Sofia was also observing Ji Xinghuo.

She glanced at a bodyguard, who snapped his fingers, releasing an invisible barrier that separated their table from the surrounding noise.

"Mr. Ji, you are much more handsome than I expected," Sofia said with admiration in her eyes, "No wonder you are a match for the beautiful Sword Immortal."

"I like hearing that," Ji Xinghuo said with a smile, "The Princess is also more beautiful in person than in videos." Sofia was well-preserved; although in her fifties, she appeared to be in her twenties.

His attitude was very casual, lacking the humility one would expect when facing an Imperial Princess, causing one of the bodyguards to frown.

The New Roman Empire was a feudal monarchy with ranks of nobility from the Emperor downward, and class distinctions were deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. Citizens paid close attention to each other’s social status in interactions, following detailed etiquette rules.

Ji Xinghuo was naturally aware of this.

As a citizen of the Asia-Pacific Community, of course, he didn’t care about this set of etiquette and directly asked, "Your Highness, what brings you to us?"

"I am here for ’Absolute Hit’," Sofia didn’t beat around the bush.

Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "The Princess should be aware of the wager of my duel with Li Xuan. I apologize, but I can’t break the agreement."

After Absolute Hit was revealed, it attracted the attention of many Mutant powerhouses from around the globe.

Both domestically and internationally, Legendary Heavenly Kings.

And people with enormous reach even contacted the leader via Li Hui, but they were all blocked by the leader.

Li Xuan was under even greater pressure, so after just one day, he raised the betting stakes to 150 billion and hastily signed the wager contract.

Once the contract was signed and made public, those eager for Absolute Hit quieted down for the time being.

They were all waiting for the outcome of the duel.

"Of course," Sofia nodded lightly, her ice-blue eyes staring at Ji Xinghuo, and said, "I’m not here to ask you to break your agreement. What I want to discuss is whether you might be willing to sell ’Absolute Hit’ to me after the duel is over?"

"Oh?" Ji Xinghuo smiled, "Does the Princess actually have faith in me?"

Actually, he had heard about it.

Many Legendary, Heavenly Kings had been communicating with Li Xuan, hoping he would agree to transfer the Star-falling Species after winning the duel, which Li Xuan had refused.

For this reason, Li Xuan made a specific announcement that he was not accepting any deals for "Absolute Hit."

A smile played at the corners of Sofia’s mouth, as if she were amused.

Ji Xinghuo understood.

"Hmph." Man Ying, who had been silent until now, snorted lightly, showing her displeasure.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Mr. Ji," Sofia quickly apologized, "but I did not want to deceive the two of you."

Ji Xinghuo snorted, "Then why are you looking for me?"

"Although I think Mr. Ji’s chances of winning are very low, less than 1%, I am willing to take a chance on that 1% possibility," Sofia said earnestly, "If Mr. Ji wins the duel, may I ask how you plan to deal with Absolute Hit?"

"No comment," Ji Xinghuo replied brusquely.

Sofia paused, then said softly, "I am willing to purchase Mr. Ji’s Mutant with Ether Crystals, surely to your satisfaction."

"Oh? How much are you offering?" Ji Xinghuo suddenly became interested, sitting up straight.

Money from Earth wasn’t very useful, but Ether Crystals were a different story. If the other party offered a high enough price, he wouldn’t mind being a middleman this once.

Sofia’s eyes shone slightly, "1500 pieces."

"The Princess may as well leave," Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

He had purchased Absolute Hit from the Void Spirit Guest for 1300 Ether Crystals; a profit margin of 200 Crystals wasn’t tempting.

"1800 pieces," Sofia immediately raised her offer.

Ji Xinghuo was still unmoved.

Whether it was currency from Earth or Ether Crystals, it all ultimately needed to be converted into Strength, and he could fuse Absolute Hit with Man Ying.

Unless the other party offered a price so high that he couldn’t refuse.

"2000 pieces!" Sofia made another offer, "Earth cannot produce Ether Crystals, and they are hard to collect in the Star Realm too. This is my highest offer."

Ji Xinghuo looked at Zhao Man Ying across from him; she simply blinked once.

The two had a psychic connection.

Man Ying, using her True Eye, judged that Princess Sofia was telling the truth and relayed it silently to Ji Xinghuo.
