Chapter 61: Chapter 61 – Intense

“Is the information accurate?” Chen Heng looked at the servant in front of him and softly asked.

After receiving an answer in the affirmative, Chen Heng nodded and allowed the servant to leave.

It had been four months since he had returned to Baron Kaisen’s territory, and he had been busy during the entire four months, gradually progressing his plans.

During this period of time, the Kutu Royal City had been quite lively as well.

According to Chen Heng’s information channels, the Second Prince, Grith, had returned to the Kutu Royal City.

Because his mother was the Princess of another Kingdom, he had a close connection with that Kingdom.

Many years ago, when the King’s health began to fail, Prince Grith left the Kutu Principality and went to the Olis Kingdom, which his mother came from.

Because of his mother’s identity, as well as the strength he had brought with him from the Kutu Principality, Prince Grith had developed quite well over there and even had many supporters in the Kutu Principality.

After all, for the Kutu Principality’s King, he was his only son.

For many of the more traditional noble families, having a Prince become King was much better than choosing a woman.

Normally, Prince Grith would stay at the Olis Kingdom and when he did come back, he would leave soon after.

However, this time, he stayed for two months in the Kutu Royal City.

In those two months, the Kutu Royal City went through a bit of unrest.

Chen Heng was not present so he did not have many details, but he was able to make some guesses from the information that he received.

In the past few months, those who supported Princess Olivia and those who supported Prince Grith repeatedly clashed in the Kutu Royal City. Even Knight-level existences had fought, and this had happened many times.

The situation was quite dangerous, and any ordinary people caught up would likely lose their lives.

However, Prince Grith had left, and the conflict in the Kutu Royal City would most likely be settling down.

Sitting on his chair, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and he silently made a decision.

After spending such a long time in the southern side, he had essentially done what he had wanted to do.

The trade route had been established and the surrounding rulers had all entered into agreements with him. There was not much more he could do here.

As such, it was time to leave and return to the Kutu Royal City.

Even though the southern side was warmer and not as dangerous, in the end, it was not the center of this kingdom.

Chen Heng could receive profits and support here, but if he wanted to go further, he still had to go to the Kutu Royal City.

As such, after making some arrangements, he began to return to the Kutu Royal City.

Not too long later, he arrived at the Kutu Royal City and returned to his residence.

After returning, he began to visit his friends.

“Kailin, you’re finally back.” Looking at Chen Heng, a delighted look appeared on Kelly’s face as he quickly pulled Chen Heng in.

“It’s been so many months; what have you been up to?” he asked as he looked at Chen Heng.

“What else could I be doing?”

Chen Heng smiled, “They were just some small matters. What about you? You look much more tired than before.”

Compared to a few months ago, Kelly looked evidently more tired and had some dark circles around his eyes. It looked like he hadn’t rested well in a long time.

“Don’t even mention it.”

Kelly gave a bitter smile and deeply breathed in as he explained.

“There were people hiding in your residence?”

Hearing Kelly’s words, Chen Heng could not help but frown, “Those assassins from before?”

“That’s right,” Kelly gave a bitter smile as he nodded, “those assassins from before seem to have come from the Olis Kingdom and have been hiding around my residence, making it so that I could never sleep well.”

“Olis Kingdom…” Chen Heng frowned, “do you know who was giving them instructions?”

Kelly gave a short laugh but did not reply.

Someone who wanted to kill him from the Olis Kingdom; who else could have done this?

It was most likely Prince Grith.

Kelly’s family was one of Princess Olivia’s staunchest supporters.

As such, it was not surprising at all that Prince Grith would want to shake Princess Olivia’s supporters by sending assassins.

Following this, Kelly filled Chen Heng in on everything that had happened recently.

“Was there really a duel?” After listening to Kelly, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.

“That’s right.”

Kelly nodded, “Both people were Knights, and you know one of them—Mader.

“Under Princess Olivia and Prince Grith’s arrangements, he and another Knight publicly dueled…”

“What about the result?” Chen Heng looked up and asked.

Kelly fell silent for a moment and replied, “Prince Grith’s Knight was killed by Knight Mader, but Knight Mader was forced to use Life Ignition and also lost an arm. He cannot move right now…

“Even if he recovers, he will not have the same strength as before…”

Chen Heng fell silent.

Life Ignition was a status that Knights obtained after awakening their Life Seed. However, if they used it too intensely, they would permanently damage their bodies.

From what Kelly had described, the battle was so incredibly intense that Mader had used Life Ignition to its fullest extent, making it so that he could never recover from it.

Just this would have been disastrous enough, but he also lost an arm.

Just like Kelly had said, even if he could fight again, he would never have the same strength as before.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but inwardly sigh, and at the same time, he felt incredibly grateful for his decision to leave.

The situation in the Kutu Royal City was too terrifying: One Knight had died and another had become crippled.

If Chen Heng had remained in the Kutu Royal City and not been vigilant, he could have fallen into danger.

As such, his decision to temporarily leave the Kutu Royal City and avoid this intense situation was definitely the right decision.

“Where is Knight Mader currently?” Chen Heng calmed himself down and asked Kelly before continuing to say, “Putting everything else aside, he’s a Knight worthy of my respect. If I can, I hope that I can pay a visit to him.”
