Chapter 1398: Chapter 1398: The Royal Way

This arrow, swift as lightning!

Although Solaris Grove was a godly archer, his only thought was that Broxton Leopold wanted to witness his prowess.

He never intended to kill, nor did he expect the other party to suddenly strike back!

At such close range, Solaris Grove couldn’t dodge!

He could only try to avoid his vital areas, fighting to survive!

Clang!

But suddenly!

A small pebble cut through the air, striking precisely against the steel arrow!

The arrow’s trajectory deviated, grazing past Baylor Davenport’s hair!

The arrowhead directly shattered the hairpin, causing Baylor Davenport’s black hair to cascade down.

Having done all this, Julius Reed rolled up the carriage window and continued to stay on the Golden Avenue.

“Protect the princess!”

Solaris Grove roared, and the guards of The North Sea delegation quickly surrounded the area.

“Leopold Shopkeeper, what is the meaning of this! You actually intend to assassinate the princess of The North Sea!” Solaris Grove drew his bow, his face full of murderous intent!

Dare to harm his goddess!

Even if it cost him his life, he would seek justice for Baylor Davenport.

And The North Sea delegation drew their weapons, positioning light and heavy cannons directly on the Golden Avenue.

“You…” Broxton Leopold was somewhat shocked.

That one arrow, he was confident it would kill his opponent.

But why did the arrow deviate?

If General Whitaker of The North Sea openly kills Finch Jackson, even if the matter reaches the City Lord’s Mansion, Ghost Market would be in the right.

But Baylor Davenport has no direct connection to this affair.

If Baylor Davenport were truly shot dead, it would mean Ghost Market and The North Sea would be irreconcilably at odds.

This was the scenario Broxton Leopold least wanted to see.

But what he was curious about was why the arrow had deviated?

Could it be that this General Whitaker of The North Sea really possessed exceptional abilities?

Recalling Nicholas Pendleton’s words, Broxton Leopold did not retract the balance.

“I, Broxton Leopold, as the chief shopkeeper of Ghost Market, deal in commerce. But what my scales measure is good and evil! General Grove has accrued a mountain of sins, and my Morality Ruler could not help but fluctuate; no one else is to blame!”

He coldly looked at Solaris Grove, then glanced over the array of cannons before him and narrowed his eyes, saying, “Are you not clear about what you’ve done, General Grove?”

“I…”

Solaris Grove’s heart raced!

Through his recent understanding, he realized that on his wedding day, Baylor Davenport did not know the groom was him.

She had never thought about castrating him.

All of it, was the idea of The North Sea’s son-in-law!

He was just a scapegoat!

Solaris Grove wanted to confess, but he lacked the courage.

But…why does Leopold Shopkeeper know about this?

If Baylor Davenport hadn’t castrated him, would he have inadvertently deceived the goddess with his body?

Solaris Grove was very relieved that Baylor Davenport had unhesitatingly castrated him; otherwise, he believed he wouldn’t have been able to control himself in what followed.

This was deception!

His deception of Baylor Davenport.

“How about it? Nothing to say, right?” Broxton Leopold sneered coldly: “My hand holds the Morality Ruler, designed to weigh one’s heart! Speak, why did you want to harm her!”

Unexpectedly for Broxton Leopold, and to his anger,

This General Whitaker of The North Sea seemed to tacitly acknowledge it.

The death of Finch Jackson not only deprived Ghost Market of a talent but also caused the prestige of Lord Ghost Seven and the ‘Ghost’ flag to hit rock bottom.

The resultant loss was incalculable.

“I never intended to harm her!” Solaris Grove glanced painfully at Baylor Davenport and took a deep breath: “I too am a victim! But in the end, I did it, and I never thought about seeking her forgiveness!”

He knew that once Baylor Davenport found out about this, he might never be forgiven in his lifetime!

“Good! Good! Good!” Broxton Leopold trembled with anger: “It seems today I must excavate your heart and weigh it on this Morality Ruler!”

Having said so, he violently tossed the balance into the air!

A martial artist has qi within his body.

The air also contains qi, and one who can control this qi is near the pinnacle of martial arts!

Compared to Boss Finch Jackson, Broxton Leopold was clearly one step ahead.

Infinitely close, yet not quite a master.

And that balance, just like that, hung mid-air!

Suspended between the two of them!

“Leopold Shopkeeper invites General Grove to step on the scale, let’s weigh our respective merits and faults!”

After finishing his words, Broxton Leopold leapt into the sky!

One foot, actually suspended right above that balance!

Boom!

Suddenly, an invisible force field spread out.

And Solaris Grove, felt an overwhelming pressure surging skyward!

The balance was beginning to tilt.

As this equilibrium was disrupted, Solaris Grove felt short of breath, as if his neck was being squeezed!

He struggled to breathe!

He desperately struggled, but the scale, after a short pause, continued to tilt!

“This guy, he actually wields Superior power,” said Julius Reed inside the carriage, rolling down the window again.

Leopold Shopkeeper from Ghost Market, ranked third among the four major shopkeepers!

Holding the Morality Ruler, he measured the hearts of all under heaven!

Those with Superior power could force their opponents to submit with their absolute ability!

Clearly, under this mighty oppression of Superior power, Solaris Grove was close to death!

“Car, move forward a bit,” Julius Reed ordered.

It was somewhat distant; intervening would be extremely inconvenient!

Resisting Superior power was actually quite simple.

Just don’t lose to the opponent, and Superior power loses its value!

The Mont Horse neighed fiercely, struggling to withstand the pressure, and suddenly knelt on the ground, mouth spilling fresh blood.

As for Solaris Grove himself, his face turned purplish, agony written in his eyes!

The scale continued to tilt.

Those wielding Superior power aimed to force their opponents to bow at their feet!

To kill the spirit as well as the body!

“Stop!”

Baylor Davenport was utterly shaken, but soon her anger ignited!

After all, Solaris Grove was the General of The North Sea.

The current Leopold Shopkeeper not only had the audacity to try to kill her but now also forced The North Sea General to kneel?

She drew her sword immediately!

However, it seemed as though there was an invisible barrier around Broxton Leopold in midair, barring Baylor Davenport from getting close!

Solaris Grove and Broxton Leopold were in a straight line, with the central balancing scale as the midpoint!

As Broxton Leopold rose higher, Solaris Grove was being pressed so low, he was nearly flattened to the ground!

Even with Solaris Grove fighting with all his might, he still couldn’t lift his head.

Broxton Leopold, lofty above, had a hint of smugness in his eyes.

In another half a minute, The North Sea General Whitaker would be crushed into a pulp by this Superior power!

At this moment, a golden carriage happened to pass by.

The golden avenue was very wide.

Everyone’s attention was on the battlefield; nobody cared about this passing carriage.

But inside the carriage, Julius Reed took a sharp breath, his eyes tightly closed!

Boom!

A force field, smashed down directly!

The Morality Ruler was different from a normal balance scale; its tilting was completely opposite.

The stronger stood high atop.

The weaker were on the sinking side of the scale!

When that tyrannical aura descended from the skies!

Plop!

Broxton Leopold, like being struck by a heavy blow, fell straight from the air!

His knees hit the ground!

Crack!

That was the sound of kneecaps breaking!

At the same time, the oppressive force on Solaris Grove completely dissipated!

“Aah!”

Solaris Grove let out a roar, grasping an arrow feather, and charged madly toward Broxton Leopold!

Squelch!

The sharp arrow pierced through the chest, penetrating Broxton Leopold’s heart!

The entire scene went silent, dumbfounded.

The people of Ghost Market had not anticipated that a match they thought was surely won would be turned on its head!

Solaris Grove also didn’t expect, facing such a powerful adversary, why didn’t he dodge?

Allowing himself to be impaled so stiffly?

Until his dying breath, Broxton Leopold couldn’t figure out why all of a sudden, an overbearing force destroyed his Superior power and pinned him to the road, unable to move!

“I… I’ve killed someone?” Solaris Grove staggered back a few steps, the blood-stained arrow feather dropping to the ground.
