"The targets are all in that house."

This is what the black-haired beast is trying to convey.

Sun Fei sneered inwardly.

He could already sense that after He Shengzhen sneaked into the hall, he stopped running away. Looking around, he saw figures moving around in the windows. There seemed to be quite a few people in the hall, and judging from the aura they exuded, several of them were much stronger than the guards in the courtyard. The hall was brightly lit, with many figures, clinking glasses, and occasional noises, as if a lively banquet was in progress.

"Ha, how brilliant I was! I caught those bastards completely off guard! Looks like they really weren't prepared at all!"

Sun Fei decided not to give the other side any time to prepare.

He leaped from Black Whirlwind's back, transforming into a blur as he rushed forward. He was certain this was the location of the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on his burly man, so he showed no mercy, smashing two massive black wood doors to pieces with a deafening kick, sending wood chips flying everywhere...

Bang!

The hall fell silent immediately.

Everyone was stunned by the scene. After a brief silence, screams and shouts rang out, and the sounds of swords being drawn and weapons being brandished were continuous.

Who dares to be so insolent?

"How dare you! Don't you know Prince Highness is entertaining guests?"

"Guards! Seize this foolish thief!"

Amidst the flickering lights, the figures at the banquet moved swiftly. Eight scantily clad women resembling maids and a dozen or so men dressed as warriors and guards overturned the stone tables and chairs in front of them, quickly forming a human wall to protect the people seated at the head of the table...

Woof woof woof!

The Big Black charged in, baring its teeth and howling furiously, a menacing growl emanating from its throat. It exuded an imposing aura, while the group opposite it froze, startled by the monster before them. Was it a horse or a dog? It was enormous!

Who are you?

Surrounded by the crowd, a pale-faced man with long flaxen hair and lavish clothes pointed at Sun Fei and angrily questioned him.

Sun Fei chuckled coldly.

This time, he was determined to catch the adulterers in the act and seize the stolen goods.

So, his first action after rushing in wasn't to figure out who was in the hall, but to find the hiding place of the burly man who had tried to assassinate him. He charged over in a majestic manner, unleashing the berserk power of a level 21 Barbarian, and a sudden gust of wind rose up in the hall.

boom!

He unleashed a powerful punch.

The bluestone floor beneath their feet was cracked, and the ground itself was shaken open, creating a fissure.

Sun Fei laughed and reached out, grabbing He Shengzhen, who was half-dead from vomiting blood after risking serious injury to escape, and pulled him out of the soil like a radish.

Clang!

The half-dead He Shengzhen was left in the middle of the hall.

The orange-yellow flames of Dou Qi aura flickered, and the burly man's body began to liquefy again, attempting to escape once more. However, [ Black Whirlwind ] did not give him such a chance, rushing forward and revealing its sharp white teeth, biting down on He Shengzhen's ankle. The burly man screamed in agony and fainted.

This series of changes happened in the blink of an eye.

Both the ferocity of the Big Black and the shrewdness of Sun Fei stunned everyone in the hall.

The guards, who had originally wanted to show off in front of their master, felt their legs tremble at the sight and dared not move their feet. The guy who had suddenly barged in was far too violent and aggressive. They had no doubt that if they rushed at him, he could smash them into a pile of minced meat with just one punch.

"Speak! Who are you people? Why did you send assassins to kill me?"

Sun Fei stepped on He Shengzhen's face, which was covered in mud and blood, put his hands on his hips, and scanned the surroundings, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, but no one dared to meet his eyes even for a moment.

At that moment, the guards outside the courtyard rushed in.

The commotion in the hall was so great that even the soldiers in the distance could hear it. The footsteps grew louder and louder, and more and more soldiers rushed in like a tide, crowding around and surrounding him. Swords and spears were like a forest, and halberds gleamed like snow, their cold, sharp blades pointing directly at Sun Fei, ready for battle.

The entire formation resembled a blooming crab claw chrysanthemum.

Sun Fei and the Big Black were like the delicate stamens of a chrysanthemum.

However, despite being surrounded, no one in the hall felt safe. Even the dapper young man in fine clothes, protected in the very center of the crowd, looked uneasy. The undisguised, surging, and violent energy emanating from Sun Fei Sun Fei made them realize that even if they were all tied together, they wouldn't be a match for the man and dog in front of them.

Woof woof woof!

The Big Black [ Black Whirlwind ], relying on its master's power, arrogantly barked wildly in unison, its throat emitting a low growl, giving people the illusion that the next time this beast opened its mouth, it would spew out a world-destroying flame like a sacred dragon, capable of burning everything in the world.

"Who's in charge here? Step forward!"

Sun Fei thoroughly enjoyed playing the role of a peerless master this time. Since there were no 'acquaintances' present, he completely let loose, revealing his slightly roguish nature from his previous life. He completely abandoned the etiquette and demeanor that a noble King should have, and his smug and arrogant manner with his foot on He Shengzhen's big face made him look more like a highway robber. He was just short of saying, "This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass through here, leave your toll. If you utter half a toothless 'no,' I'll kill you and not bury you."

"Cough cough cough..." After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke, "Your Majesty, you..."

"Don't try to get close to me, get lost! Who's your emperor?" Sun Fei retorted immediately, thinking to himself, "You've all sent people to assassinate me, do you still think I'm the King?" Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, he suddenly realized that the voice of the person who had spoken earlier sounded somewhat familiar. It seemed like... it seemed like... wait...

Sun Fei was a little confused.

The next moment, a distinguished middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd, looking at Sun Fei with a wry smile, and said, "Your Majesty, what is this...?"

Waaaaaah!

Upon seeing this person emerge, the first to react was [ Black Whirlwind ].

The Big Black that was swaggering around like a dragon just a second ago was the first to wilted.

The beast instantly transformed from its arrogant barking into a docile state, its large tail swaying like a windmill, its cackling voice revealing a fawning and ingratiating expression. It lowered its head and walked to the person, lay down on the ground, tilted its head back, and smiled with its sly eyes as if it were seeing its mother.

Sun Fei felt as if a row of black lines had cascaded down his forehead like a waterfall from Mount Lu.

"Uh... that... uh... this... uh, Uncle Best, what are you doing here?" he said, quickly covering his face with his hands.

This person has really embarrassed himself.

It seems there's been some misunderstanding.

The man who stepped out from the crowd was none other than Sun Fei's future father-in-law, "Old White Face" Best. "Old White Face's" lips twitched a few times, but he quickly regained his composure, gave a calm bow, and then answered clearly, "Your Majesty, I am here on your orders to invite Kingdom of Lake Modrić of the Prince of Reich to tomorrow's royal banquet... Let me introduce you, this is His Highness Prince Modrić, one of the [ Ten Heroes ], a young and promising man!"

Sun Fei felt as if the world around him was spinning.

I was Mowing Grass, and this blunder is just too outrageous!

Based on Sun Fei's previous understanding, the Kingdom of Lake had been a friendly ally of Chambord City for centuries, as close as brothers. It had saved Chambord City from countless predicaments and had also secretly helped Chambord City a great deal during the last Zenit Empire military exercise. This Prince Modrić was the most typical representative of the ' Chambord City goodwill faction' in the country... No matter what, such a country and such a mission would absolutely not send an assassin to kill him.

It seems... there was a mistake.

I never expected that following the clues wouldn't lead to the melon, but instead to a cactus.

The self-righteous Sun Fei wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground like the burly man he had beaten half to death.

Fortunately, his father-in-law Best, was very tactful.

The old man showed no embarrassment whatsoever. With just a few words, he gave his impetuous future son-in-law a way out. Then, without batting an eye, he moved on from the earlier conflict and introduced Sun Fei to the handsome young man in fine clothes who was being protected by the guards. This man was Modrić other than the third Prince of the Zenit fourth-class vassal state of Kingdom of Lake, who was on good terms with Chambord City.

With Best's explanation, the atmosphere in the hall quickly eased.

The soldiers, covered in cold sweat and filled with doubt and apprehension, retreated from the hall.

The banquet continued.

Everyone looked at Sun Fei with a somewhat bewildered expression. This was truly unexpected. No one had imagined that this arrogant and ruthless thug with a dog was actually King Alexander of Chambord City. Wasn't Alexander supposed to be an idiot with the mental capacity of a seven or eight-year-old? How did he suddenly become a super expert?

Fortunately Modrić was indeed a very kind Prince. His handsome face always had a faint smile on it. He was elegant, graceful, and magnanimous. Compared to Sun Fei, the King who came to the throne halfway and had a bandit-like air about him, Modric was more like a true 'standard royal with four qualities': good manners, etiquette, style, and inner qualities.

The atmosphere at the banquet gradually reached another climax.

Sun Fei had no choice but to swallow his pride and slowly explain what had happened.

"Huh, I recognize this person?"

As the wine flowed freely, Prince Modrić observed the scene for a while, then suddenly pointed to the burly warrior on the ground, whose body and limbs were firmly bound by steel chains, and said, "This man seems to be called He Shengzhen. He is a personal bodyguard of Prince Obinna of Kingdom of Thrace, and one of the few Four-Star Class experts in Kingdom of Thrace."
