My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner
Chapter 388: Finalized

"That’s not a problem at all. We will be back here tomorrow, same time and I better receive a positive answer from you," Xander replied.

The king and queen glared daggers at the trio as they exited the palace. If looks could kill, they’d have ordered the guards to finish them off right there. After all, the trio hadn’t even brought bodyguards to protect them—an oversight the royal couple found tempting.

"There’s no way this is going to happen," said King Theous as he left the chair and headed to his room.

His wife immediately followed him.

As soon as they stepped into their massive bedroom—almost as spacious as the living room—she gently closed the door, leaving it slightly ajar.

"Just who do those people think they are to enter my palace and threaten me with such a thing?!" The king roared, his skin turning crimson red as a sign to show how furious he was at that moment. "How did they even get their hands on that information?"

"You need to get a grip," his wife said softly, patting his shoulder in an attempt to soothe him. "We have to figure out our next move, but first, you need to calm down so we can think this through properly."

"There’s no need to think things carefully. I’ll be sending a few guards to the hotel they’re staying at and have them assassinated. That’s the only right thing that’ll happen right now."

Jelzem sighed.

"Can you even hear yourself?" she snapped, her voice rising with frustration. "Do you really think they came here without telling anyone? If you kill them now, everyone will start looking at us with suspicion. And what about the evidence they have? If it gets out—especially if something happens to them—our entire plan will fall apart. We’ll be back to square one!" Her tone was sharp, exasperation etched across her face.

The king was now calm as he gave some thought to what his wife had just suggested.

"Even so, we need to figure out how they uncovered this information about us!" he snapped, his frustration bubbling over. "Drug trafficking and everything else has been carried out in complete secrecy for over a decade. No one’s ever gotten close to finding out until now!" His jaw tightened as his mind raced. The thought of some outsiders showing up and threatening to dismantle everything he had built from the ground up was unbearable.

"We can deal with that later. But for now, we have to let them build whatever they want to build here. Otherwise, we’ll lose everything we’ve worked hard for."

The king took a seat on his bed, rubbing his temple in frustration. He’d never expected the day to turn out this way.

He had only wanted to listen to Xander’s business proposal out of courtesy, and now he was being cornered and threatened.

"Fine," he said after a long pause, his voice tight with reluctant acceptance. "I’ll give them the permissions they want, including the security. It’s better than losing everything we’ve worked so hard to build."

"And while they’re doing that, you order your henchmen to find the original evidence they have and kill all the victims who dared to turn their back on us," Jelzem suggested. "When all the evidence they have is destroyed, we get rid of them and throw their body into the ocean of another city so it won’t be linked back to us."

"This is why you’re my favorite queen. You always know how to come up with the best ideas," the king complimented as he walked up to her and pecked her softly on the cheeks.

"If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be able to solve any of your issues."

"I can’t argue that at all."

Unbeknownst to them, someone had been listening to their conversation since they entered their room.

With a deep breath, the person left the scene.

The next day

Anastasia, Xander, and Samantha arrived, and just as they’d expected, the king and queen gave them what they wanted.

The king also proposed they stay in one of his other properties instead of the hotel where they would spend money.

The offer was suspicious, and thankfully, Xander declined the offer.

They also noticed that the king and queen were a lot nicer than the previous day.

Anastasia couldn’t shake the feeling that they were up to something. It made sense—they had every reason to be plotting something.

After everything was finalized, the king gave them land where they could build their baby factory.

However, Xander hit them with another proposal.

"If you don’t mind, I would like to advertise my work here," he said.

"What do you mean?" Thus questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I’m willing to offer money to girls who don’t mind being surrogate mothers to my clients here," he explained.

The king could see that his proposal was a surprise as Samantha and Anastasia both turned to look at Xander with a questionable look.

However, they didn’t stop him.

The king and queen shared a look as they silently gritted their teeth.

"Isn’t that going to draw unwanted attention towards you? You do realize what you’re doing is illegal—"

"That’s where your protection comes in," Xander replied.

The king glared at him so hard that if looks could kill, he would be six feet under the ground already.

But he shrugged it off like it was nothing.

"You’re going to ask your people about recruiting. If you want, you can make it private or public. It all depends on you."

With gritted teeth, the king replied, "I’ll handle it."

Several other things were taken into consideration and when they were done, Anastasia decided to take a stroll around the palace.

The land was vast so it was difficult to cover half of it before she started sweating profusely. Even so, she didn’t stop.

Then she saw Izara walking in her direction.

"You should leave here as soon as possible," the girl ordered.
