Frederick the 32nd pointed at Meng Lei and declared, “There is no limit to your perverseness! Your intentions are punishable by death!
“Men, capture him! He is to be sent to the Dragon Flesh-Scraping Platform three days later and publicly beheaded as a warning to descendants of the royalty!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
A group of golden-armored guards charged into the hall.
“Please be lenient, Your Majesty!”
At the sight of this, President Fred immediately wanted to beg for mercy but was stopped by Frederick the 32nd.
“Even if he’s royalty, a rebel like Meng Lei is, in truth, no different from devil spies like Adolf! Whoever begs for mercy on his behalf shall be seen as having committed the same crime as him!”
“Your Majesty...”
“This is the ring you lent me, President,” said Meng Lei as he stopped President Fred, who was intending to continue begging for mercy.
After he returned the ring, Meng Lei said with a laugh, “In Heaven’s Vault Continent, it’s the strong that are the most revered. If you aren’t strong enough, no matter how much you say, it is nothing more than just the tragic lamenting of the weak.”
He turned to Frederick the 32nd and, with a smile, said, “The Dragon Flesh-Scraping Platform is probably somewhere meant exclusively for killing members of the royalty, right? So sorry, but I’m not royalty, so you can come at me right away.
“If all of you are that capable, I’m very happy to become Timon Barton the 2nd and perish ‘unexpectedly’! If not, and if you can’t kill me, then don’t hold it against me if I annihilate all of you!
“To sum it up—either you kill me, or I’ll kill you!”

“Either you kill me, or I’ll kill you!”
Boom!
His words were virtually a Magnitude 10.0 earthquake that shocked and enraged all the high-ranking officials, nobles, and more than 1,000 Saint Domains present.
Madness! He’s gone mad!
Everyone gasped in unison as they stared at Meng Lei as though they were looking at a lunatic.
He was but a puny little 16-year-old Saint Domain and a child that hadn’t even fully matured!
And yet he dared to utter such things in front of so many Saint Domains in the most dignified place in the empire!?
Just how outrageous was he? Just how arrogant was he? And just how foolish was he?
“How dare a child like you behave so outrageously!”
Frederick the 32nd crushed the throne with a strike of his palm as he roared furiously, “Where are the golden-armored guards?! Why haven’t you arrested him? What are you waiting for?!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The dozen or so golden-armored guards responded loudly, and then, they swarmed toward Meng Lei.
“You’d better behave!”
“Get on your knees!”
“Don’t put up a fight!”
As sentries guarding the conference hall, every one of them was only a step away from becoming a Saint Domain. With so many of them joining hands, even a Saint Domain would have to bow down to them.
Unfortunately, they were destined for tragedy this time.
Just as the golden-armored guards charged over fiercely, a strong, surging recoil force suddenly burst forth from Meng Lei.
Boom!
The wild, violent force erupted all of a sudden, instantly sending all the golden-armored guards flying backward. Blood sprayed from their mouths as they became still and motionless—all of them had actually died from the impact.
“What?”
“They’re dead?”
A huge jolt went through everyone in the hall.
“You... How dare... How dare you?!”
Frederick the 32nd looked infuriated, his visage savage-looking as he roared hysterically, “Take him down! Take him down!!”
“President Fred, so this is the great student that the Fire Dragon Magic Academy has produced!”
Someone rushed forward out of nowhere, giving President Fred a cold, icy look before glaring furiously at Meng Lei.
“You crazy fool who has lost all reason, you’ve got a lot of nerve! Give yourself up at once!”
“Who are you?” asked Meng Lei as he gazed at the black-haired elderly man with a pair of black horns in front of him.
“The academy president of Black Dragon Academy of the Black Dragon Kingdom... Angus!”
Angus ordered calmly, “You audacious and impudent maniac, get on your knees and kowtow to His Majesty and beg for forgiveness at once. Otherwise, don’t hold it against me if I show you no civility!”
“Show me no civility? How are you planning to do that?” Meng Lei flicked his fingers and stated calmly, “I’d like to have a taste of that very much!”
“How audacious!!”
Angus’ eyes widened. Rather than anger, he was pleased instead. He declared, “Since you have a death wish, kid, no-one will say anything even if I slaughter you right here and now!”
Whoosh!
Before he’d even finished speaking, Angus had already abruptly charged out, coming right up to Meng Lei in an instant.
There were no extra flourishes to his actions but just a simple and violent punch.
This single punch was more than enough.
“That guy has actually gotten ahead of me!”
The other Saint Domains who were intending to attack stopped in their tracks one by one, secretly more or less a little displeased.
Although they were dissatisfied with how Angus had acted one step faster than them, they nevertheless had to acknowledge his strength. As an old-timer Saint Domain, Angus had already made a name for himself since several hundred years ago. He possessed unfathomably great power.
In particular, he was even a pure-blooded Black Dragon and owned an incredibly strong and sturdy body. There weren’t many present who would dare claim certain victory over him. With him attacking, there wasn’t much left for the others to do anymore.
The next moment, however, everyone’s eyes widened dramatically as
