"Who do you think will win?"
"Are you kidding? Portia, of course! Although Philip is quite good, the moment he entered
the Hendrix Painting, his fate fell into Portia's hands!"
"That's right! Portia is stronger than Philip in terms of strength and holy artifacts. The
outcome is certain! Philip can't escape!"
"How can an unknown person like him be compared with Portia?"
Various comments could be heard, and everyone favored Portia. Their opinion was not
wrong, at least on paper.
If Philip did not own the chimera imprint, he might have fallen under Portia's hands. Portia
certainly lived up to her reputation as a freak talent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, Verdant and the others paced back and forth in place, frowning.
After some time, Nixon looked at Verdant and said with a frown, "Philip has probably lost
to Portia. Now the question is, should we submit to the two royal families as Philip said?"
Everyone's expression changed when Nixon said this.
Submit to the two royal families?
Their original intention was to develop secretly, seize various resources, and strive to
create an establishment better than the royal families. In other words, they wanted to
create a force that was on par with the ancient Heavenly Court.
If they submitted to the royal families now, all their previous plans would be in vain.
Verdant fell silent as his mind raced, thinking of a solution to this predicament.
After a while, he looked at everyone seriously and said, "I think we can choose to submit
to the royal families if they agree not to impose a restriction or contract on us."
Everyone was stunned at Verdant's suggestion, and some people scowled.
However, Nixon was thoughtful.
Then, Nixon looked at Verdant and asked, "Are you saying we can pretend to submit,
develop under the name of the royal families, steal resources, and leave after we grow to
a certain level?"
Verdant nodded without hesitation. He added that condition precisely for this reason!
Everyone's expression eased a little, and someone said, "But the royal families will
definitely impose restrictions on us. Don't even think about it."
There was nothing wrong with this remark. The royal families had always been
domineering.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVerdant paused briefly before he said, "Maybe we can negotiate with them, but if we
choose not to listen to the royal families, they'll definitely mess with us and make things
difficult for us in the future..."
"Of course, we can still put our hopes on Philip that he can beat Portia and come out of the
painting. This is the best choice!"
Some pseudo holy beings could not help rolling their eyes when they heard this, and one
of them said in exasperation, "You can forget about it. How can someone like him beat
Portia? Do you think Portia is just boasting? I'm from the same generation as her. Back
then, Portia killed a pseudo holy being with strength at the peak of nine stars!"
As they were discussing this, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from the Hendrix
Painting, and the surrounding energy churned.
