"That's all about it now, Austin. Now, I have been completely honest with you and told you everything. You can believe me when I swear to you that I have been truthful with you. I have held nothing back.
You can easily defeat warriors at the medium stage of Earth Realm within seconds. I'm very impressed by your strength. I hope you will help me get the throne."
Reuben said and looked at Austin with great sincerity in his eyes. He looked truthful at the moment.
"Your Highness, I'm a man of my word. When I was in Peace Town earlier, I had promised you that I would help you, and I will certainly keep my words. Rest assured that I will be on your side.
Also, I promise you once again that I will try my best to be at least among the top 50 in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games and obtain the qualification required to enter the Mysterious Nether World. I will find the soul-recovering fruit after I get in there and help you win. I am very sure that you will get the throne," Austin replied in a clear loud voice but in a polite tone.
This was a bold pledge to make, but he said all of this with certainly. He was positively glowing with confidence.
"Okay, with your words, I feel much relieved now. If you have my back, then I am sure that I will win."
Reuben was overjoyed. He seemed terribly impressed by Austin and believed in him a lot.
"Then I won't disturb you further, as you have to rest for now. The Outstanding Talents Exchange Games will kick off in ten days. You are welcome to stay here at my palace until that time and prepare for the fight. You need to be rested and in peak condition to win the fight," Reuben replied and then ordered, "Take Sir Austin back to his room. No one is allowed to disturb him without my permission."
The five maids who had been given the order bowed down.
"Yes, Your Highness."
They slowly got to their feet and escorted Austin out of the hall.
Seeing that the five gorgeous and beautiful maids had crowded round him, grasping his arms and enthusiastically leading the way for him, Austin gave a wry smile. However, he had no choice but to follow them.
"He is indeed extremely talented. I wonder what surprises he'll bring for me..."
Reuben muttered as he watched Austin's retreating figure gradually disappear into the darkness.
"What do you think, Milton?"
Reuben asked into the shadows and suddenly, an old man appeared out of nowhere by his side.
At the sight of the old man, the three warriors who were all at the premium stage of Earth Realm got down on one knee and bowed to him in reverence and awe, "Sir Milton!"
The old man, whose name was Milton Yu, was in his sixties. His breaths came in fits and starts, as if he had one foot in the grave. However, his eyes looked firm, and would occasionally flash with a dazzling radiance that was as brilliant as that of the stars.
"It is too early to judge but as far as I see it, among the hundreds of young talents you drew over, this one perhaps has the most potential. I suggest you try your best to win him over. He might really surprise you once the time comes."
Milton Yu cast a meaningful smile as he gazed towards the direction in which Austin had disappeared.
"Really? Do you also think highly of him?" Reuben asked, a little surprised. His habit was that whenever he would hire a young warrior, he would consult the old man in secret. The old man's face was always noncommittal. However, one thing was for sure: very few people in the world could have made him say what he had just said.
Reuben was taken aback when he heard that Milton Yu thought so highly of Austin. This high opinion boosted Reuben's confidence in Austin.
