I alone am the Honoured One!

290  The party!

A middle-aged man wearing a costly black suit walked through the hallways of the Lycan Kingdom and beside him was another young man who was looking around the architecture and grandeur in awe.

"Boss, this palace looks so majestic. This Emperor of this Lycan Kingdom is surely rich, hah."

The middle aged man's lips twitched upon hearing his Personal assistant's mumblings "Can you shut up for a while. It is our prestige that I got invited to this party, which many big shots around this nation are attending."

"The invitation is in your hands, right?"

The young man nodded his head and showed the pocket on his shirt "Yes Boss, it's all ready and safe in my hands." He smiled proudly.

The middle aged man nodded his head and after a while of walking through the royal hallways, they finally reached a grand door that was closed, and outside of it stood a bodyguard wearing a sleek black suit.

The bodyguard looked at the middle-aged man, who was wearing a mask, walking towards him. As he came closer, he extended his hand. "Esteemed guest, can I see your invitation?"

The middle-aged man turned his gaze to his personal assistant, who was standing nearby and the young man nodded his head as he put his fingers inside his pocket to retrieve the invitation.

E-Eh? But not seeing any invitations in his pocket, he panicked, "B-Boss... the invitation. Huh?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What happened?"

"The invitation card is missing."

"WHAT?!"

The bodyguard narrowed his eyes upon seeing the little commotion and at this time, hearing footsteps, he turned his head to the man who was walking close to him, wearing a white suit and his white hair could be seen.

He was also hiding his face with a mask.

"Esteemed guest, can I see your invitation?" The bodyguard stretched his hand toward the man and the man took 'his' invitation card from his pocket and showed it to the bodyguard.

Checking the invitation card, the bodyguard nodded and pushed the door open. "You can enter."

With a nod, Zhao Tian entered the grand room and the room was dimly lit. His eyes glanced around, looking at the multitude of tables and people were sitting around the table.

The waiters are walking here and there, serving beverages to the guests. Zhao Tian silently entered and took a seat at the back of the tables, his gaze wandering around the hall.

'There are many powerful cultivators here. They must be the bodyguards of these big shots.'

His eyes glanced at the people at the front and his eyes narrowed: '7th, 8th and 9th level of the Monarch Astral Stage, who are they? Are they the ministers of this Lycan Kingdom.'

White patterns appeared on his eyes as he scanned through the whole palace 'Hm. I can't sense any soul of a cultivator at Half-Empyream realm or something.'

"Can I sit beside you?" At this time, he heard a sweet voice and he turned his gaze to the woman standing beside him, her blonde hair falling down her shoulders and he could see her purple eyes through her mask.

Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and Natalie Thompson sat on the chair beside him.

As she sat, Zhao Tian spoke in a low voice so only she could hear, "I saw you stealing the invitation card."

Natalie Thompson was surprised to hear this because she was sure no one was looking at her at that time and squinted her eyes "I also saw you buying this suit."

Zhao Tian gave a nod as he looked into her purple eyes "Yeah, I also noticed you. After all, how can I ignore the presence of a cultivator who is in the 9th level of the Monarch Astral Stage?"

Natalie Thompson's eyes shook hearing this 'He saw through my cultivation? But what is his cultivation- huh? why can't I see through his cultivation?. Has he already stepped into the Half-Empyrean?'

'But his voice seems quite young and his physique too, so how?'

Her eyes narrowed 'This is bad!'

Zhao Tian mumbled under his breath "Don't be tensed up. I am not going to do anything."

With a sudden *click* sound, a bright white spotlight illuminated the front of the room, drawing the attention of all the attendees to the middle-aged man who stood confidently at the center of the tables. As everyone was about to stand, Minister Silas Beckett waved his hand "No need for that. I will quickly finish this and tell you the reason why our Emperor has invited all of you to this party."

Silas Beckket spoke with a slight smile on his face "You all know about Zhenzhu, right?" As he spoke, a projector's light fell on the wall back to him, showing the picture of Zhenzhu shot from the sky.

"Currently this is the strongest place and organization on this planet. The astral energy is rich in that place and there are a lot of people in Monarch Astral Stage there."

"Our Lycan Kingdom is below them. Even if we used all of our forces, we couldn't beat them."

"So we searched for a solution. How can we overcome this? How can our Kingdom be the strongest in the world and as you know we created the serum that gives us regeneration powers."

"But still... we couldn't beat the people from Zhenzhu. So, we thought of utilizing modern technology."

"If cultivators do not exist on the planet, what is the most powerful weapon that man has created?"

"Nuclear weapons. Each country has its own nuclear station and weapons. So we took it one step further and combined both this cultivation and nukes."

"A nuclear weapon created from the beast stone of the astral beasts."

At this time, a video played on the screen showing a normal nuclear bomb that could erase large cities.

And after that, another video of a nuclear bomb being blasted in a desert was shown.

"The second one you saw is the test done by our researchers with the nuke we created. It is only 10 percent of a normal nuke but it causes more destruction than that of a normal nuke."

Seeing all of this, Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes 'Why are they saying it to the big shots?'

Meanwhile, Natalie Thompson clenched her fist in fury looking at video of the nuclear bombs.
