Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Audrey seemed to find it even more interesting. She smiled and said, "You're here to look for the Star of Brilliance? Could it be that you're a bandit who wishes to rob me of my necklace? "
Fang Xingjian said, "I'm not a bandit. If I have no other choice, I can even use money to buy it. Of course, I can also do some things for you in exchange for your necklace. Star of Brilliance? "
"Buy?" Audrey seemed to have heard something funny and laughed out loud. She only stopped after a long while, shook her head, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, "Do you know how much money the Pop Clan has? They monopolize almost half of the food business in the entire Beize Region. The wealth of the entire Pop Clan is enough to buy up the entire Beize Region's capital. "
Audrey then looked at Fang Xingjian curiously and said, "With so much money, they can get anyone to do anything they want? It's really amazing that you were able to sneak into my backyard without a sound. But if you're able to help me, I wonder if you dare to assassinate the leader of the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon, Xia? "
The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon was the number one dark influence within the Empire's borders. They controlled the strongest assassins, killers, and mercenaries in the entire south of the continent. They could be said to be the strongest civilian military force and had done all sorts of dark things.
If the Great River Alliance, which the Fist Emperor was in charge of, was said to be a gang, then the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon was a terrorist organization through and through.
Their leader was Xia. No one knew where he came from or who his parents were. They only knew that when he had first entered the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon, he had been called Xia.
Right now, more people called him the Undying Xia, one of the ten great Divine level experts in the Empire.
Hearing Audrey's words, Fang Xingjian fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know why you want to kill him. But if you're willing to hand the Star of Brilliance over to me, even if I can't kill Xia, I can at least guarantee that he won't be able to harm you. "
"Hehe." Audrey looked at the strange man in front of her. Her smooth feet swung back and forth. Her fair skin was as delicate as a baby's, and an amused smile appeared on her face.
She looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "That's the Undying Xia, one of the ten great Divine level experts in the Empire. I heard that he has experienced several thousand situations where he would definitely die but survived all of them. Back then, when he had yet to become a Divine level expert, he assassinated a disciple of the Myriad Stars Palace. Thereafter, he was chased by the Myriad Stars Palace's Astral Ancestor and was on the run for three consecutive years. However, he still managed to survive. I don't know where your confidence comes from. "
However, at the next moment, Fang Xingjian suddenly disappeared before her eyes. She blinked and looked around. Fang Xingjian was nowhere to be seen. Even the conversation she had just had seemed like an illusion.
"What happened?"
"Was that person just now a human or a ghost?"
Just as Audrey was thinking about this, an elderly man appeared before Audrey. The elderly man had a steady disposition, and the aura he exuded was like the great waves of the ocean. He had a disposition of a formidable character.
However, at this moment, there was only fatigue in his eyes.
When Audrey saw the elderly man, she temporarily put aside her doubts about Fang Xingjian's appearance and disappearance. She said directly, "Father, are you here to persuade me again?"
"Audrey, my most beloved Princess." Seeing Audrey's cold expression, the elderly man smiled bitterly and said, "If the situation allows it, I'm also willing to let you find your lover. It doesn't matter if he's poor, rich, weak, or useless. It's fine as long as you like him. "However, reality doesn't allow me to do this. The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's representative will be coming to the banquet tonight …"
"Eight Directional Crimson Dragon … You really want to marry me to Xia?" Audrey stood up and said angrily, "That Xia … Don't you know what kind of person he is? He has countless women, and it's said that he's even built an Elysian Palace for himself, filled with women that he's plundered. The women there are never allowed to wear clothes, and they spend all day and night having fun with him. "You want me to marry such a person?"
Assassins and mercenaries were extremely tense during battles. When they were relaxed, it was easy for them to act recklessly and indulge in pleasures. Of course, there were also a small portion of mercenaries who would look for some simple things as hobbies.
However, it was clear that the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's Xia was not such a person. As the leader of an international terrorist organization, not only did he enjoy pleasures, but he was even more reckless than ordinary mercenaries.
After finding out that Audrey was the top beauty in the Northern Ice Region, he sent someone to send an invitation, wanting to marry Audrey.
For the sake of this, the elderly man had gone to almost all the major influences in the Northern Ice Region. However, when all the factions heard that they wanted to go against the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon, they all shook their heads and rejected him.
As for the Empire's government, they might support this under normal circumstances. However, what was the situation in the Empire right now? In the Xingwu Region, the First Prince was dealing with the two Divine level influences, the Myriad Stars Palace and the Full Moon Shrine.
The royal family's King and the Abyss Lord were making preparations to join forces with the Mage Association to summon and kill the evil gods. How could they possibly complicate matters and treat the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon as an enemy?
The head of the Pop Clan, Andolf, looked at Audrey with a pitiful expression and said, "There's nothing I can do either. I'm really at my wit's end. "For the past three months, the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon has only said a few words, and we've lost another 30% of our business. If this were to go on, even without Xia taking action, our clan will collapse. "Father has let you down, but I'm really at my wit's end. "If you don't marry Xia, it probably won't be long before our entire Pop Clan goes into a complete decline."
When Audrey saw the state her father was in, a hint of pity flashed in her heart. She sat back down very quickly and did not say a word. She merely looked out at the flower fields, and the sorrow in her eyes grew even stronger.
When her father, Andolf, saw the state his daughter was in, his heart also ached greatly. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only continue to say, "This matter was originally a secret, but it seems like they can't wait any longer. Tonight, they'll send someone over to announce your engagement at the banquet. "By then, the entire Northern Ice Region will know about this, and they'll even send people to take care of you day and night …"
"Are they trying to force me to my death?!"
Seeing how Audrey looked as if she was dead, Andolf sighed and retreated slowly. As a man, how could he not want to fight to the death to protect his daughter?
However, as a clan head, he really did not have the courage to sacrifice his clan to fight against the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon.
After Andolf left, Fang Xingjian appeared once again. However, Audrey's gaze did not change at all. She merely stared at the flower fields as if she was dead.
However, after sensing Fang Xingjian's appearance, she could not help but say, "How is it? Do you know what's going on? Do you still dare to work for me? "
Fang Xingjian said, "So that's how it is. Is the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon trying to force you into a marriage? I understand now. Then I'll help you fend off the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon and guarantee that Xia will never be able to force you into a marriage. Hand over the Star of Brilliance to me. "
Audrey looked at Fang Xingjian in surprise, as if she had not expected him to say something like this.
After a long while, she broke out into a smile that was like a hundred flowers blooming. Although Fang Xingjian's words seemed childish and laughable to her, at the very least, he was the only person who had expressed that he was willing to help her during this period of time.
"Don't force yourself. Leave quickly. Otherwise, if the guards discover you, you won't be able to leave.
"As for the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon, I can only blame my bad luck."
