They had swapped conditions when Ambrose was in Megan’s hand. Ambrose had promised Megan three conditions in return for helping him get the Seven Exquisite Elixir.
Megan had never forgotten about that!
“Alright, I’ll help you!” Ambrose took a deep breath before nodding and agreeing!
In truth, Ambrose was displeased about Megan’s slightly forceful way while asking for his favor. He was the current Prince. Who would talk to him in such manners?
However, he had to fulfill his promises as this principle could not be defied.
Ambrose said seriously as that thought crossed his mind, “I still owe you two favors once this is done.”
Megan pursed her lips and smiled. She could not help but tease, “Why? This handsome young man has slowly grown up, so you’re afraid I’ll come and disturb you too often in the future?”
Ambrose could not be bothered dealing with her as he flatly said, “I’m busy. I’m returning to the palace if there’s nothing else.”
He then turned and returned to the palace.
‘Kid!’
Megan smiled and froze there with quite the malicious look upon seeing Ambrose leaving.
‘The following two matters might not be so easy for you!’
…
The Royal City Prison at midnight.
Although the violent battle during the daytime had ceased for a couple of hours, a bloody smell still hung in the air.
In the huge prison, Master Leonard, Sect Master Endless, Naomi Grand, and the other sect masters sat there with their heads lowered—feeling dejected and depressed.
They initially thought they would be able to successfully rescue Darryl’s friends and family by joining forces this time.
However, they had not expected that not only did the Royal Army quickly come to support, but the Incandescent Sect came to help out as well which ultimately caused them to fail.
“Sigh!”
At that moment, the nearby Susan gently sighed and could not help but said, “Master Leonard, Sect Master Endless—all of you were too rash. You should have thoroughly thought out a plan before coming to save us.”
She looked at Zoran who was covered in blood from head to toe as she said that while feeling heartbroken.
It seemed like the World Universe was done for with so many sects captured.
Sect Master Endless, Naomi Grand, and the others were extremely chagrined upon her words.
“Who knew that Lord Kenny would be so sly to ally with the Incandescent Sect…”
“Yes, the Royal Army was nothing to be worried about were it not for them…”
“Alright, alright. It’s too late to say anything now!”
All of them dejectedly chimed in.
Thud! Thud!
Megan slowly walked over with a smile. “Emei Sect had something going on previously, so we came late. I hope my fellow sect masters won’t blame me.”
Megan then waved her hands.
The surrounding Emei disciples quickly walked into the prison cells and uncuffed all the other sects. The entire process was smooth with not a single New World soldier noticing the Emei Sect rescuing them.
This was of course because Megan and Ambrose had already discussed it, hence Ambrose had long sent the Royal Army away. There were no Royal Army soldiers in the surrounding of the prison at that moment which was the reason Megan could so smoothly save all those sects.
However, the Emei disciples did not do the same for the Carter family and Darryl’s friends after uncuffing all those sects.
‘W-what’s going on?”
Master Leonard, Sect Master Endless, and the other sect masters were instantly befuddled.
Master Leonard looked at Megan the next second and could not help but asked, “Master Castello, why aren’t you rescuing the Carter family and the rest?”
Megan laughed lightly and said at a moderate pace, “Why should I save them?”
Uh…
Master Leonard’s expressions were tense upon hearing that and did not know what to say!
At that moment, Megan’s pretty face had hints of detest as she continued, “I come here to save my fellow sect masters for the sake of your sects’ continuity.
As for the Carters and Elysium Gate… What did their life and death have to do with me?”
