Chapter 2710 Sincerity
“Mr. Chance!” Yuven greeted Jared politely with a bow when he saw the latter.
Julius was shocked speechless and kept his head low as he watched from behind.
As Jared had some questions for Yuven, he didn't let Julius follow them as they headed into Imperial Beast City.
After entering a private room, Jared got straight to the point and asked, “Yuven, how well do you know Norwal
City?”
Yuven was a little surprised when he heard Jared ask about Norwal City all of a sudden. “I know quite a lot about
Norwal City, My Lord. King Lucian and I are neighbors, so I deal with him very often. By the way, I have just
returned from Norwal City. I am planning to have my daughter marry King Lucian's son. That way, both our families

City, My Lord?”
“What do you think of King Lucian, then?” Jared asked after giving it some thought.
“He is extremely power-hungry, greedy, and will do anything to achieve his goals,” Yuven replied, revealing Lucian's
characteristics without any hesitation whatsoever.
Jared froze and stared at him in confusion. “If he is as bad as you say, then why would you have your daughter
marry his son?”
Yuven let out a wry chuckle as he explained, “You may not know this, My Lord, but I don't really have a choice in this
matter. If I don't do so and unite our families through marriage, someone else might. When that happens, Imperial
Beast City will have no means of defending itself and be conquered by them. As such, I have no choice but to
sacrifice my daughter. On top of that, if we ally with Norwal City, we will be able to join forces and attack
Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk's Hawk King Cave. The Hawk King Cave contains a heavenly thunder tree that is tens of
thousands of years old. According to legend, the heavenly thunder tree has been struck by heavenly thunder
eighty-one times and survived. The heavenly thunder fruit is a great resource for cultivation!”
Yuven's eyes were filled with greed when he mentioned the heavenly thunder tree.
“Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk? Heavenly thunder tree? Is Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk one of the three kings and four
archons?” Jared asked with a confused frown.
Yuven shook his head. “No. Apart from us three archons and four kings, there are many other beast races out there
that are out of our jurisdiction. Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk is one of them. He is outside of Imperial Beast City and
Norwal City's jurisdiction. He refuses to listen to anyone simply because he has the heavenly thunder tree in his
cave. Many have coveted the heavenly thunder tree over the years, but none have succeeded. Eventually, people
just stopped going after Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk altogether. The strong prey upon the weak in this world, after

a move because we also had to watch out for each other. Now that Imperial Beast City and Norwal City are going to
team up, however, we will be able to take on Hawk King Cave and share the heavenly thunder tree!”
After hearing Yuven's explanation, Jared finally understood the situation. Demon beasts like Bloodthirsty
Thunderhawk were most likely similar to rogue cultivators in that they refused to conform to existing forces.
“How sincere do you think King Lucian is in collaborating with you through this arranged marriage?” Jared asked.
“I... I have no idea,” Yuven replied while shaking his head.
Little did Yuven know, the arranged marriage was nothing but a ruse. What Lucian really wanted was to take over
Imperial Beast City.
“I think you should hold off on your collaboration with Norwal City. They stole something from me, so I need to get it
back first,” Jared said.
