Half an hour later!
Ye Cangtian arrived at the agreed location with two subordinates. It was an incredibly luxurious manor.
The entire estate was vast, covering at least a hundred acres. Even entering or exiting required an electric sightseeing cart, otherwise, one would be exhausted from walking.
The asphalt road was lined with various precious and rare plants, and ahead lay a large golf course.
At the center of the estate, a magnificent villa, resembling a castle, stood out even more.
As for the dozen or so top-tier supercars and extended Rolls-Royces parked outside the villa, there was nothing more to be said!
Everything here exuded an aura of inhumane opulence.
“It is currently the Prince’s afternoon warm-up time. The three of you will have to wait here for a moment,” a butler said indifferently to the trio.
Clearly, even an ordinary butler of Prince Sam carried an air of superiority.
Even the butler did not show much courtesy to Ye Cangtian and his companions.
The butler then left. Twenty meters away, a middle-aged man, dressed in a white robe and wearing a headscarf, was elegantly playing golf.
He did not stop his so-called afternoon warm-up project at all due to the arrival of Ye Cangtian and his group.
The trio felt neglected at this moment.
Huang Wu grumbled, “What’s so great about being arrogant? We’re here to help, yet they make us wait here!”
Huang San, standing beside him, nodded in agreement, feeling quite displeased.
Ye Cangtian, however, smiled, took out a cigarette, and said nonchalantly, “We’ll wait. Everyone has been tired these past two days, let’s rest first!”
The other two no longer complained and sat on chairs to rest.
However, Prince Sam showed no signs of stopping. A full hour passed before he finally threw his golf club to a servant.
The afternoon warm-up was finally over!
But the prince turned and walked towards the large villa. Only a servant approached Ye Cangtian and his companions: “The Prince needs to take a bath after his warm-up. Please wait patiently for a moment.”
“Damn it, isn’t this messing with us?” Huang Wu muttered.
“It’s fine!”
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and then said to the servant, “We’ll wait a bit longer then.”
These were just the bad habits of the wealthy, he was used to it!
Another hour passed!
It was then that Prince Sam finally emerged from the villa, accompanied by four or five servants, and walked towards them.
“Haha, I apologize for keeping distinguished guests waiting!”
The Prince Sam was around fifty years old, dressed in a white robe, with fair skin, but a full beard on his face.
However, the next moment, the Prince frowned, looking displeased, “Respected guests, I do not wish for anyone to smoke in my manor. It is extremely impolite!”
Ye Cangtian chuckled, stubbed out his cigarette, and then said, “Prince Sam, my name is Xuan Qi. I have been sent by the organization to assist Your Highness.”
Prince Sam’s expression improved slightly. Served by his attendants, he sat down opposite them.
He said plainly, “What about the previous one? Xuan… Xuan something, it wasn’t you who was sent to liaise with me last time!”
“That person sacrificed himself not long ago, so the organization sent me to take over his work!”
“Died? You people are so weak, what qualifications do you have to help me?” Prince Sam pouted, showing utter disdain for Ye Cangtian and his companions.
“How do you know if we are weak or not, Your Highness, without trying?” Ye Cangtian revealed a smile.
“Try? Heh, alright. If the three of you can leave this manor alive, I will believe you have the ability! What do you say, dare you?” Prince Sam said with smug satisfaction.
Ye Cangtian’s lips curved slightly upwards. He knew very well why the Prince was so confident.
“Your Highness seems to have some means of assurance!”
He looked around, a bright smile on his face, “If I’m not mistaken, there are at least fifteen snipers in the vicinity, and they have already locked onto the three of us! In addition, there is a guard contingent of yours a few hundred meters away.”
Prince Sam was taken aback, then sneered, “I underestimated you. But what if you see through it? The snipers have you locked on. Do you think you have any chance of escaping?”
Huang Wu and Huang San both showed expressions of anger.
They were here to help the other party, yet the other party was testing them in such a manner. How could this not enrage them?
But Ye Cangtian showed no displeasure. Instead, he chuckled, “Your Highness, how about we make a bet? We are now three meters apart. I bet whether I can kill you before your snipers take me down, and then safely escape your manor!”
“However, I fear Your Highness might not be able to afford the bet!”
“…”
Prince Sam’s expression changed slightly. Could the other party do it? Perhaps not? But did he dare to try?
At his status and wealth, even if he knew the other party might not succeed, he still cherished his own life dearly.
After a long period of contemplation, Prince Sam took a deep breath, then burst into laughter, “Hahaha… Mr. Xuan Qi, you jest. As I can cooperate with your Dark Association, I naturally believe in your strength. I was just playing a joke on everyone earlier!”
“If that’s the case, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation this time!” Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and lit another cigarette.
Prince Sam’s cheek twitched. This time, he didn’t say anything, but smiled and replied, “Of course!”
Only then did Huang Wu and Huang San breathe a sigh of relief.
They finally realized that Prince Sam had been trying to put them in their place, to gain the upper hand during their discussions.
It was fortunate that their Lord Xuan Qi had extraordinary courage and was not intimidated by the other party.
…
At the same time!
The Saudi royal palace, a super large and luxurious place, was where the king and important members of the royal family currently resided.
In one of the palaces, Xibeya half-knelt by the bed, personally feeding the medication before standing up and sighing softly.
“That Shanhai Vine is also known as the Root of Immortality. Legend has it that it is a magical precious medicine, but my father has been taking it for a week. Apart from his complexion improving, there is no sign of him waking up at all!”
Xibeya gazed at His Majesty the King lying in bed, her face filled with worry.
Although their royal family possessed endless wealth, no matter how much money they spent or how many top world-class doctors they hired, they were powerless against her father’s illness!
The royal family was currently in turmoil, and her acting on behalf of the King had already displeased many. If this situation continued, she feared the royal family would fall into chaos.
She took a deep breath and asked, “Haven’t they found Saki yet?”
Behind her, a female guard knelt on one knee and replied, “Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, Saki has not been found yet, but he may no longer be in the royal city. Your subordinate does not dare to send people to search too openly, for fear that the various princes will notice and seize the opportunity to move against you!”
Xibeya said coldly, “At this point, does it matter if they make a move? From now on, all of you will search with all your might! You must find Prince Saki.”
“Yes!” the female guard acknowledged and left.
Only then did Xibeya reveal a bitter expression. Prince Saki was her own younger brother and the sole heir to the royal family.
Once His Majesty the King abdicated or passed away, her brother would be the next king!
But her brother seemed to never grow up, and to avoid inheriting the throne, he had run away from home multiple times. This time, his absence was even longer.
Now, the royal family was rife with undercurrents, and some princes were also making subtle moves. Xibeya had been under immense pressure recently, sometimes not knowing what to do!
“If only he were here. It’s a pity, we probably won’t see each other again!”
