The nobles in the Sovereign City and the young genius Reclassers had thought that Aiden was trying to resolve the conflict with Henry.
After all, in their eyes, being hated by the prince of the Great Shaw Empire was a terrifying thing.
Even if Aiden was now a national hero and the top scorer in the College Testing, it would still be hard to solve this problem.
Who could have imagined that Aiden not only didn’t ask for rcy for Henry, but actually brought up the bet he had with Logan in public.
This wasn’t easing the tension. It was an open challenge!
At this mont, Logan was lying in bed, a vegetable.
No one had ever dared to treat a prince of the Great Shaw Empire like this.
Before Aiden arrived, not even Henry himself, let alone his son Logan, was soone people would dare to provoke.
Sure enough, the next second, Henry, full of rage, struggled wildly. His eyes were full of bloodshot, and he stared at Aiden with a fierce look, shouting.
"What do you an?"
"Because of you, my son beca a vegetable. Now you’re still thinking about that 10 billion?"
"Aiden, you should die!"
Facing Henry’s anger, Aiden just gave him a calm look and said slowly.
"I’m just asking for what I won. Is there a problem with that?"
"Even if Logan is dead, the bet is still valid! Oh, I forgot, he’s basically dead now anyway."
His words were calm, but they carried a huge amount of provocation.
Henry ignored the several high-level Reclassers around him and desperately tried to rush toward Aiden.
Aiden didn’t back down at all. He t Henry’s eyes, which were full of killing intent.
Anyone who wanted to kill him would not go unpunished.
That naturally included Henry.
And Aiden had a clear understanding of the situation. Right now, Empress Eira definitely needed him to take part in the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournant.
Her punishnt of Henry just now had already shown her attitude to everyone around.
Aiden wasn’t stupid. He was trying to make Henry angry.
A person in a fit of rage would do so very unreasonable things.
Seeing Henry’s anger and killing intent, Aiden’s lips slowly curled into a small smile. Then he prepared to use Blacklight Ward and Shadow Stealth at any mont.
He walked toward Henry on purpose and said calmly.
"It’s just 10 billion. If you don’t have that much money, I can pay it for you."
"I wonder, when the others in the Sovereign City find out about this, will they think that Logan not only beca a useless person, but also broke his promise..."
Before Aiden could finish speaking, Henry, full of anger, tried his best to break free from the chains. Even though the spikes kept making him bleed, he didn’t hesitate at all.
"I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!"
"You wait, Aiden. I will make you regret this for the rest of your life. You’ll wish you were dead!"
At this mont, Henry was acting like a madman.
Empress Eira frowned and said in a serious tone."Stay calm."
But Henry didn’t calm down. Instead, he shouted at Eira."Aiden is just a stranger. Logan is related to you by blood!"
"Let go! I want to kill Aiden!"
Eira’s face showed a flash of anger as she said sharply."Shut up! Everything will be sorted out after the investigation is done!"
At that mont, Henry was so full of anger that he didn’t even think before speaking:
"Kelsey is suffering from a strange illness. She won’t live much longer. The Great Shaw Empire needs a new heir, but..."
By the ti he realized what he had said, it was too late.
Kelsey stood behind Empress Eira, looking extrely sad. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she anxiously pulled at Eira’s robe.
Tension.
The atmosphere suddenly beca extrely heavy.
Empress Eira’s anger disappeared, and her face was completely expressionless.
Henry stopped struggling against the chains.
Jas and Atlas silently looked at Aiden for a mont, then slowly lowered their heads.
Whether it was the nobles from the Sovereign City, the young genius Reclassers, or Felix and the imperial ministers, everyone lowered their heads and fell into a complete silence.
A deathly quiet. No one dared to make the slightest sound.
Everyone knew about Princess Kelsey’s illness, but no one had ever ntioned it in such a situation.
Eira was not only the ruler of the Great Shaw Empire, but also a mother.
Even a fool would not say what Henry just said.
Henry swallowed hard. All his anger and killing intent disappeared, and he nervously stared at Eira.
Eira spoke in a calm, emotionless voice: "Take Henry to the royal prison. No one is allowed to visit him without my permission."
When she said the words "royal prison." Henry’s eyes showed a look of panic.
At that mont, Kelsey pulled at Eira’s robe and took a deep breath, then said slowly.
"Mother, Uncle Henry didn’t an to say that. Kelsey knows, she won’t be around much longer..."
Eira turned around and gently touched Kelsey’s head. Her eyes were filled with an unbearable kind of pain.
"Who are you waiting for? Take him away!"
The few high-level Reclassers imdiately moved quickly, dragging Henry away roughly.
Henry tried to beg for rcy a few tis, but the chains around him suddenly tightened, causing him so much pain that he couldn’t speak, and sweat poured down his forehead.
Even after Henry was gone, no one in the room dared to say a word.
Eira picked up Kelsey and left the place directly.
After a long ti, soone finally took a deep breath and whispered.
"Wow, I was scared to death. How did things turn out like this? The Empress actually sent Henry to the royal prison!"
"Only high-ranking family mbers who made a big mistake would be sent there. It’s said that just spending ten days there would make a person go crazy!"
"Ah, after Henry said that, the Empress was really angry this ti."
"Shh, don’t talk anymore. I’m a little scared. Let’s just leave first."
People gradually started to leave, while Felix slowly got up from the ground and looked deeply at Aiden.
He never expected things to turn out this way!
Even if Henry was the Empress’s brother, he would now have to stay in the royal prison for a few days.
Felix thought in his mind: "I didn’t expect Aiden to be so lucky. Even after Henry cos out, he won’t be able to do anything for a while."
"Ah, we’ll just have to wait."
In just a few seconds, most of the people had already left, leaving only John, Jas, Atlas, Luke, and Victor.
Jas was the first to speak, asking Aiden: "Were you trying to provoke Henry on purpose?"
Atlas and Luke stared at Aiden, looking full of curiosity.
Aiden smiled but didn’t answer directly. He hadn’t expected the result to be so good, and Henry was sent straight to the royal prison.
It was true—when people were angry, their actions and words were often very unreasonable.
Atlas, Jas, and Luke all took a sharp breath when they saw the smile on Aiden’s face.
Jas said directly."In that situation, you actually found Henry’s weakness and succeeded in making him lose control. Aiden, are you really only eighteen?"
As the war god of the Great Shaw Empire, Jas was also filled with strong shock.
To put it simply, through the events in The White City, Aiden’s performance in the College Testing, and the way he just pushed Henry, Jas felt that he might have misjudged Aiden.
If Aiden kept growing, he would definitely surpass even the imperial war god!
"Aiden, why don’t you just join the military departnt? Garvard University is a top Reclasser university, but I feel you can grow more in the military." Jas said without hesitation.
Before Aiden could answer, Atlas spoke up imdiately.
"No way. Aiden is the national College Testing top scorer. He should go to Garvard University. Don’t forget, I graduated from Garvard University, and I’m even a professor there!"
Jas took a deep breath and said seriously."Three years. With Aiden’s potential and intelligence, if he joins the military, he can beco the new imperial war god in as little as three years."
"In three years, Aiden will completely surpass !"
Atlas was shocked. He stared wide-eyed, feeling deeply surprised.
After all, Jas was the strongest general in the history of the Great Shaw Empire.
At just over thirty, Jas was already a level 95 Reclasser.
Could Aiden really reach Jas’s level and reputation in three years?
Atlas knew Jas’s personality. He never joked around.
He couldn’t help licking his lips, thinking, maybe Aiden really should join the military?
But Aiden didn’t think that much. He was the national College Testing top scorer, and any Reclasser university would accept him.
For him, the most urgent thing right now was to finish the Bane of All Races quest.
So Aiden said."Whether to join the military or Garvard University, I’ll decide after I think it through."
Jas and Atlas nodded, their expressions thoughtful, both thinking about how to get Aiden to join the military or Garvard University.
Normally, other examinees would dream about how to get into top universities or receive strong support from the military.
But for soone like Aiden, the situation was completely different — now both the military and the top universities were fighting to get him.
At the sa ti, in a corner, Victor and Jade were watching Aiden with complicated expressions.
Victor hesitated, wondering whether to go and find Aiden now.
Their bet had ended with his loss.
