“Of course there is a relationship.” Alex answered, “Nemesis is the result of a compromise between these two voices. Firstly, Nemesis passed the assessment of senior scholars at a young age, his future is full of potential, which aligns with the interests of the second voice.”

“Secondly, Nemesis is very wealthy. He contributed a lot of spiritual energy coins to the Holy Temple recently, which aligns with the interests of the first voice.”

“Nemesis’s emergence greatly alleviates the internal conflicts within our Scholar’s Temple, this is also why we strive to protect him. So, Claude, no matter what you say today, I will defend Nemesis!”

Claude quirked an eyebrow: “Oh? Nemesis has recently contributed a lot of spiritual energy coins to the Scholar’s Temple?”

“Absolutely.”

“Then let’s do this,” Claude said, a plan forming in his mind, “I’ll pay double what Nemesis has contributed in spiritual energy coins! And I won’t use this as an excuse to join the Scholar’s Temple. Can you give him to me then?”

“Well ” Alex and Camilla exchanged glance.

Seeing that the party was willing to negotiate, Claude quickly increased his offer: “What, is double not enough? Then I’ll make it triple!”

“Are you really offering three times the amount?” Alex asked, a strange expression on his face.

“Absolutely.”

“Alright, well the charmed price comes to 30 billion spiritual energy coins. Are you planning on paying in a lump sum, or installments?” Alex asked congenially.

“30 30 billion?!” Claude’s mouth fell open, he was so shocked, he couldn’t think straight.

Are you sure it’s 30 ‘billion’ and not 30 ‘million’?

The fifth-order powerhouses following Claude were also wide-eyed and surprised.

30 billion! That number was terrifying!

Nemesis invested a whopping 10 billion spiritual energy coins in the Scholar’s Temple – how did he get so rich?

And this isn’t just regular affluence, it was on an outrageous scale!

Claude’s “Strive” family that governs Orleans City, discounting the un-factorsable fixed assets, at most could have rudimentarily available assets in the range of 10 billion spirit coins.

Not only did Nemesis build a new city, the remaining money is even more than the entire Strive family’s worth!

“Did the princess give her national treasury as a dowry to Nemesis!” a fifth-order powerhouse whispered behind Claude.

“If Nemesis truly has so much money, it’s very possible!” Another agreed.

“What are you thinking about? The princess is only fourteen, she wouldn’t be able to marry and crown a prince until she is eighteen.”

“The situation is different now, Goldfinch has lost half of their kingdom, the princess getting married early to stabilize the people’s hearts is also very possible.”

“How can the princess be interested in such a kid!”

The fifth-order powerhouses behind Claude were in heated discussion.

Claude, though, was stone-faced: “Alex, are you lying to me? Does Nemesis really have so many spiritual energy coins?”

“I really didn’t lie to you.” Alex retrieved a black magic crystal card from somewhere, raised it in front of everyone and then put it away:

“Nemesis has preemptively paid us one billion spiritual energy coins to move the Scholar’s Temple headquarters from Goldfinch City to Aphi city, Camilla and I both agree to this.”

“Scholar’s Temple, in future will develop Aphi City as the main base, and Nemesis will continue to invest one billion spiritual energy coins in our Temple every year.”

“So no matter what, we are going to staunchly protect Aphi city and not let your army step into the city!”

Having finished, Alex gave a dismissive sweep of Claude’s elite group of 3000 city defense soldiers below.

In the face of Alex’s glare, many soldiers felt a tremendous sense of fear descend upon them from the sky. Some, unable to bear it, fainted and collapsed on the spot.

Seeing Alex’s actions, Claude sighed inwardly.

He finally understood completely now!

The Scholar’s Temple was short on money, but their pride as scholars made them unwilling to bow their heads to the government and business communities.

At this critical moment, the wealthy and knowledgeable Nemesis stepped forward! So the Scholar’s Temple wholeheartedly sided with Nemesis.

Nemesis would give 10 billion spiritual energy coins to Scholar’s Temple over the next ten years and in exchange, the Scholar’s Temple would move its headquarters to Aphi city indirectly becoming a part of Nemesis’s domain.

The Scholar’s Temple, nourished by Nemesis, would develop and grow stronger. Both parties would mutually benefit.

At this level, it would be harder for Claude to destroy Nemesis’s domain!

Su Yu clearly understood what Claude was thinking, so he pushed him: “City Lord, when are you going to pay the 30 billion?”

“Not to mention paying it all at once, you just need to pay one-tenth first, I will immediately let Alex take his troops back, you can have Aphi city for free!”

“Ha ha, the weather is nice today!” Claude started to laugh: “Since the Scholar’s Temple has its eye on Aphi city, I have nothing to say. But ”

Claude’s voice took a turn, his tone stern: “Alex, Camilla, I have orders from Master Xi Fan, I must kill Tina Garcia today! I may not care about Aphi city, but you have to hand over this woman!”

“Xi Fan?” Hearing this name, Alex and Camilla’s faces changed drastically.

As the local bigshots in Goldfinch City, they of course understood the terror of the “Strong dragon” Xi Fan.

Let’s put it this way, even if all the powerhouses of the Scholar’s Temple came together they would not be a match for Xi Fan, at best they would bring him a little trouble, but they couldn’t even hurt him.

This kind of frightening existence wants to kill Tina!

Those present at the temple looked at each other, uncertain what to do.

But then, Su Yu stepped forward.

Positioning himself in front of Tina, he looked dismissively at Claude: “You must be dreaming! Tina is my friend, I’ll never hand her over to you.”

“Friend?” Looking at Su Yu’s back, Tina suddenly felt warmth in her heart.

Alex and Camilla exchanged a lengthy glance, settling on a consensus. Camilla got up and declared: “Claude, I am Camilla of the Scholar’s Temple. We are firmly against you taking Nemesis’s wife in front of us. This is the line in the sand. Even if it’s an order from Master Xi Fan, it’s unacceptable!”

“Wife?!” Tina was startled by the term and instantly blushed.

But for some strange reason, she wasn’t exactly averse to being referred to that way.

Claude did not have time to pay attention to Camilla’s words.

He solemnly took out a black scroll from his bosom, which he started activating in his hands.

Endless shadow energy erupted from the scroll.

All at once, the colours of the world changed! Even the midday sun seemed dim, and the surroundings became pitch black.

“Since you guys are not willing to hand over the person, and I can’t defeat you, I guess I’ll have to summon Master Xi Fan. You all can reasoning with Master Xi Fan!”

Under the scroll’s effects, a shimmering black six-pointed star teleportation array gradually formed in front of Claude.

The silhouette of Xi Fan first appeared in the array and then solidified.

An entire seventh-stage dark sorcerer, Xi Fan, was about to be summoned!
