Chapter 558: Chapter 554: Stay low-key? Screw that! Chapter 558: Chapter 554: Stay low-key? Screw that! “Tsk tsk, what extravagance!” Completely unaware that he had already been discovered by the highest authority of the Uranos Empire upon his arrival, Muria was wandering around the Deep Blue Commerce Association’s floating ship harbor, his eyes filled with amazement.

This was because Muria realized that he was currently not in the main world, but in a large half-plane, specifically designed for docking floating merchant ships of all sizes. It was a completely open air half-plane. In just the short time that he had been wandering around, he had already seen hundreds of merchant ships entering and exiting through space.

“This space defense is like a sieve,” Muria sensed for a moment, “No, not a sieve. There is basically no defense. This half-plane probably can’t be carried around like mine, it can only be fixed in one place.”

Muria’s half-plane was entirely dependent on him. No matter where Muria was, he could open the door to his half-plane and summon the titan legion stationed in the half-plane.

The half-plane where Muria was at the moment should have no master, it was in an uncontrolled state. No matter who was in control, even if it was just a temporary takeover, the frequent entry and exit of floating ships would drive them crazy.

“This kind of half-plane should have a designated fixed exit, I should find Andrew first.” Muria thought, without extra mental searches. This was not his territory, better to keep a low profile.

This half-plane, which has been transformed into a sea port, has so many floating ships entering and leaving every day. Muria couldn’t believe that there was no one strong sitting in. The Deep Blue Commerce Association’s trades were not limited to just the main world, their reach extended to the expedition legions of the Empire, extending into the exotic realms. Who knew if there might be some monster from another realm who was as strong, or stronger than him, sneaking in.

…”Which exit is it?” After scanning around with his invisibility spell, Muria annoyingly realized there were hundreds of fixed space gates, each gate exuding the aura of the main world.

“Upper entities like to live in the best environments. I’ll exit from the gate that emits the most elemental aura.” Muria thought, and arrived at a narrow space gate that only allowed one person to pass.

He stepped on the defensive magic array arranged around the gate without hesitation. He crossed through it effortlessly.

Then, a thick elemental tide hit him. It made Muria feel warm and very comfortable. It was a high-energy environment that was very friendly for living beings.

“Do you really look down on our Deep Blue Commerce Association, sir?” Before Muria could observe his surroundings, an aging voice echoed in Muria’s ear, “With just a seven-circle magic, you tried to infiltrate the headquarters of the Deep Blue Commerce Association.”

Without giving Muria a chance to react or respond, a sense of spatial change came over him. When Muria came back to his senses, he found himself in a space made entirely of elements. Elemental beasts formed by the basic elements of earth, wind, water and fire were on the verge of moving, emanating a strong killing intent unabashedly, giving Muria immense pressure.

Muria looked at the old mage standing in front of him, dressed in a gray and white mage robe, holding a magic staff, with a long white beard, and his heart throbbed. He was a high-level legendary mage. If he confronted him at his current level, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

The mage, a career that relied on both intelligence and talent, had very little constrains from their bloodline. After reaching the legendary level, most human mages were basically no longer human. They were just purely wearing a human disguise to represent their faction.

Take this old mage in front of him for example. No matter how frail he looked, if Muria dared approach him, this mage would definitely show his true colors, possibly turning into a violent giant beast wielding an elemental giant, and play a melee game with him using the magic staff. Given his current entry level legendary status, he might not even be able to defeat him.

But facing the killing intent coming from all directions, Muria’s heart was unmoved. He took off his hood and looked up, looking straight at the old mage, his voice casual, “Where is Andrew? Have him come see me.”

His casual tone carried arrogance and a commanding air, but the old mage did not get angry. His pupils constricted as he examined the face of the stealthy intruder in front of him.

He was tall and emanated a strong vitality, like an ancient giant beast. His face was not clear because it was covered with a metal mask, but his dazzling golden eyes were striking and made the old mage’s heart thump.

“Your Majesty!” The old mage immediately bowed slightly to Muria. The elemental beasts surrounding Muria immediately disintegrated and disappeared in no time.

He had no desire to confirm the royal identity of the figure in front of him. The fact that the figure hid his aura and carried a mask clearly explained everything. He did not wish to expose his identity.

“As for the inferior invisibility spell used by Muria, it must be on purpose to attract his attention, so that he could meet Andrew as quickly as possible,” thought the old mage. He quickly found a suitable reason for Muria’s actions.

If Muria knew what was going on in the mind of this high-level legendary mage, he would definitely laugh. Muria never thought he would be able to come across a high-level legendary mage. After all, having this identity and trying to seek a certain status within the empire was not a difficult task. Why would they be in a business association, even if the association is among the top ones in the empire.

“I will notify the chairman immediately for you.” There was no doubt about Muria’s identity. That domineering aura was unmistakable once seen, and the vigorous energy like a vast sea was impossible to fake.

Thus, Muria returned to the spot before the Space Gate as if everything that had just happened was an illusion. At that moment, he was only able to look around. He found himself in a manor decked out in a very low-key style, yet subtly exuding a sense of luxury. As a master-level appraiser, he knew that every plant and tree here was of great value.

As for where the manor stood—Muria didn’t know. He couldn’t dare to blindly probe with his mental power. The encounter with such an old monster just after exiting had truly shocked him.

“Your Highness!” Within a few breaths of time, Andrew, the president of the Deep Blue Commerce Association, who had once crossed paths with him, appeared before Muria, a warm smile on his chubby face. “What brings you to humble us with your exalted presence?”

Despite the surprise from suddenly received reports, upon seeing Muria, who wore a mask and hid his aura, this tactful man quickly recognized Muria’s identity. The dazzling golden pupils—he had only seen them on Muria.

“Something urgent came up. So I had to make a trip to Main Continent.” Muria said with an indifferent tone, he came to the Main Continent to find his dragon and definitely not to escape from his own marriage.

“Find a place to have a chat. I don’t want too many people knowing about my visit to Main Continent.”

“Understood.” Andrew thought of the big figure he had just met. His chubby face twitched twice, it was so coincidental to encounter such a situation.

“What? Is there anything bothering you?” Muria noticed the fleeting unease on Andrew’s face, “You can go deal with it first. I can wait somewhere.”

“Your Highness, how could that be acceptable?” Andrew’s face became flattering, “No matter how important my business is, it’s nothing compared to serving you.”

Damn, catering to such a big figure was really troublesome. He seemed friendly and gentle, but if Andrew really went to deal with his own business and let him sit and wait, he was sure that all the resources that he had invested in him might go down the drain.

Andrew would definitely not do such a stupid thing, when it came to making a choice, he was still very decisive. So, he selectively forgot the big figure he met earlier and earnestly catered to Muria. Compared to serving that big figure, it was nothing, his stance had long been set by the emperor.

…

“Your Highness! A quarter of an hour has already passed.” In a luxurious room, a female general clad in black armor, with a spirit of valour, reminded her own Lord.

“I know!” The black-haired, golden-eyed young girl picked up the slightly chilled tea in her hand, took a sip, and her expression became even colder.

“Where’s your father?” Seeing the indifference in the eyes of the Seventh Princess of the Empire she served, the black-armored female general, Catherine, looked at the panting, sweaty, chubby young man in the drawing room, and asked in a cold tone.

“There is an emergency at the Commerce Association. My father must deal with it personally. Your Highness, please wait a moment longer. As soon as my father is done, he will rush over here.” Andrew’s eldest son, Carmen, wiped the cold sweat continuously seeping from his forehead and inwardly blamed his father.

The president of the prominent Deep blue Commerce Association, how could he be so wise most times and so careless at this moment? The Seventh Princess, Gladys Criss, visited in person. After talking to the princess for a while, his father just left her alone, letting her, a royal family member with the right to inherit the throne, wait for a whole quarter of an hour. It was such an extreme act of negligence.

“Truly deserving of the Deep Blue Commerce Association. With Your Highness visiting personally, this is how the chairman treats you? What a big air!” Catherine sneered, “Even the royal family is not in his eyes.”

“Enough, Catherine, pushing him won’t help.” Gladys glanced at the sweaty Carmen, put down the slightly chilled teacup in her hand, and said, “The tea has cooled. Let’s go!”

“Your Highness, are we leaving just like that?”

“No, I want to see what urgent business Chairman Andrew is dealing with!”
