Chapter 1225 - 1225 Prince Consort of the Declan Empire?
1225 Prince Consort of the Declan Empire?
It took more than ten minutes to announce some details about the second stage on the virtual screen, leaving only one sentence.
“Please head to the space station yourself. The next journey will be freely decided by you.”
Seeing this row of words, Henrik curled his lips in disdain.
“Hmph, I thought that we had at least passed the first stage. The royal family of the Declan Empire should be more generous and arrange it for us. I didn’t expect you to be so stingy and actually ignore it.”
“This is their usual style. It’s not strange.” Nowell shook his head and asked, “I plan to head straight to the Dark Forest Star System and discuss the situation there first. What about you?”
“I plan to go back directly.” Pinto smiled and said, “If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach in 20 Earth days.”
“Heh, Pinto, if you go back like this, there will definitely be many reporters from the federation interviewing you.” Henrik suddenly became excited, as if he had never despised Pinto. He grabbed his shoulder and said happily, “When you return, tell those reporters that I, Henrik, have successfully entered the second stage and will definitely successfully pass the final test and obtain the best martial technique from those guys from the royal family of the Declan Empire. Do you understand what I mean?”
Pinto blinked, clearly stunned by Henrik’s expression.
“Alright, Henrik, I think you shouldn’t be in a hurry to brag. In my opinion, only Chu Nan has hope of obtaining an S-rank martial technique as a reward among the three of us. It’s already not bad that the two of us can survive and obtain an A-rank martial technique. You’re so confident now. If you don’t do it at that time, you’ll become the laughing stock of the entire federation.” Nowell frowned.
“Hmm…” Henrik frowned and thought for a moment, “Alright, you’re right. Then, Pinto, don’t speak nonsense even if you’re interviewed after you return. You only need to tell them that the three of us performed well and successfully entered the second stage.” After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Nan, “Hey, Chu Nan, I plan to go to the Dark Forest Star System in advance to see the situation like Nowell. What about you?”
“Me?” Chu Nan turned to look in the other direction, “I still have some things to deal with. I’m afraid I have to stay for a few days. I can’t leave with you.”
“Oh?” Henrik followed Chu Nan’s gaze and his gaze landed on the group of descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire. His expression immediately became strange, “Heh, Chu Nan, tell me honestly, how did you get involved with those descendants of the royal family? Especially that little beauty who took the initiative to find you. She seems to be quite a famous princess, right?”
At this point, Henrik raised his eyebrows at Chu Nan and his expression became very ambiguous and wretched.
“Kid, don’t tell me you plan to transform into the prince consort of the Declan Empire after participating in the Garden Hunting Assembly?”
“You’re the one who wants to be the emperor’s son-in-law.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes at him, “I only got to know Princess Romanti after fighting a few times. How can we have the relationship you think? Alright, since you’ve all decided, quickly leave. I still have something on, so I won’t send you off. I’ll think of a way to contact you when I reach the Dark Forest Star System. As for Pinto, if the three of us successfully pass the Garden Hunting Assembly, let’s come out for a meal and gather after returning to the Earth Federation.”
“Alright! I agree with this suggestion!” Henrik was the first to agree loudly.
Nowell also nodded lightly. “If I can return successfully, I should have a break after reporting.”
A simple and honest smile appeared on Pinto’s face. “I welcome you to my house as guests. I believe both my family and Master will be very happy to see you.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Chu Nan smiled and patted his shoulder before waving goodbye to Henrik and Nowell. He turned around and walked towards the group of descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire.
Seeing Chu Nan walk away, Henrik suddenly sighed.
“Sigh… to be honest, I’ve always been quite unconvinced by this guy in the past.”
“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t believe the two of you were very convinced when you saw those guys from the federation reporting how talented this kid was. I dare say that you must be thinking in your hearts that this kid was simply bragged by those guys, right?”
Nowell and Pinto looked at each other and revealed awkward smiles.
“Hmph, I originally thought so too. I thought to myself that this kid had never been famous or had a good master. Even if his talent was not bad, it was impossible for him to be strong. The reason why he was so famous was only that he happened to catch up to those few famous things. I didn’t expect… his strength was really so strong…”
At this point, Henrik actually revealed a trace of palpitations.
In fact, although he had been chatting normally with Chu Nan earlier, he had secretly observed, sensed, and even secretly tested him.
However, no matter how he observed, sensed, and tested, he could not accurately determine Chu Nan’s strength.
There were only two explanations for this situation. One was that Chu Nan actually did not have much strength. No matter how he probed, it could only be a show. Secondly, Chu Nan’s strength far exceeded his and he could not probe at all.
However, now that the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly had ended, Chu Nan had already confirmed that he had passed the first stage of the test. Moreover, he had a record of fighting different experts, which was enough to prove that it was impossible for him to only be a show. In that case, it could only be that Chu Nan’s strength far exceeded Henrik’s.
This fact was very difficult for Henrik to accept.
Before this, he had always thought that he was only 19 years old and could have the powerful strength of a fourth-stage Heaven Control expert. He was definitely talented and not many people could compare.
Even in the Garden Hunting Assembly that gathered the geniuses of the entire Milky Way, he would definitely be at the top.
However, when he really arrived at the Garden Hunting Assembly, he discovered that his strength could not be considered outstanding at all. There were many people stronger than him.
Although this did not completely destroy his confidence, it also made him recognize the cruel reality—he was not the most talented one.
Now that he had truly seen Chu Nan and experienced his shocking strength, he was no longer filled with hostility and disdain towards him like when he was still in the Earth Federation. Instead, he was truly filled with admiration and doubt.
This guy clearly did not have an especially outstanding inheritance. How did he become so powerful?
This question also existed in Pinto and Nowell’s hearts, but it was naturally impossible for them to run to Chu Nan and ask. They could only watch from afar as he walked to the group of descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire and watched as he was welcomed by them and fused into that group without any obstruction. Their hearts were filled with doubt.
How did this guy… get along so well with these descendants of the royal family?
