Chapter 1923: Chapter 1921: Various Rumors

Peter Brown had spent over ten days in the refining room this time, and his refining techniques had significantly improved.

Fondling a magic treasure, a smile appeared on Peter Brown’s face. He had named this magic treasure Heaven-Exploding Thunder, which could be infused with the energy of a 200 Star-rank. The thought of its power if detonated was something Peter Brown dared not contemplate.

Of course, the process of infusing energy was time-consuming, and Peter himself was only at the Seventeen Star Level. He had no idea how long it would take if he were to infuse it with his own energy.

However, Peter had his own schemes. When the time came, he would gather his subordinates; each would infuse one Star-rank of energy. With just two hundred people, the magic treasure would be fully charged.

As soon as Peter Brown emerged, Philips Williams showed up.

"Your Highness, have you finished closed cultivation?" Philips Williams looked at Peter Brown repeatedly.

"You arrived just in time. Gather two hundred eunuchs, the loyal ones, and bring them inside."

Shortly after, Philips Williams’s selected people arrived.

Once everyone was gathered inside, Peter Brown ceaselessly set up the formation disks, and a small formation emerged. After the formation was established, Peter Brown placed the empty Heaven-Exploding Thunder at the center.

With that task complete, Peter Brown told those who could place a palm on ten designated spots, "There’s only one thing you need to do—infuse one Star-rank of your energy into this."

Seeing that everyone understood, Peter Brown nodded slightly and commanded, "Francis Miller, supervise this task."

Francis Miller simply responded affirmatively.

The formation fully protected the Heaven-Exploding Thunder, rendering the eunuchs incapable of accessing it. All they could do was infuse their energy into it.

Without further explanation, Peter Brown walked out with Philips Williams.

"What’s the situation outside?" Peter asked, oblivious to the external world affairs due to his ten-day refining period. He had thought of escaping if something amiss emerged, but it seemed things hadn’t deteriorated.

Philips Williams responded with a complex expression, "Your Highness, all the powers have withdrawn from King’s City, even the forces from Skyreach Sect have pulled out."

"What happened?" Peter inquired, puzzled.

Just then, Sam Collins, Jett Johnson, Xandros Walker, Austin Hall, Xander Army, and Neil Armstrong entered; they could be considered Peter’s trusted followers.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Xandros Walker had always been in charge of the Army in Wavehider City and had now surprisingly arrived.

Looking at Xandros Walker, Peter said, "You must be aware of my situation?"

"No matter what Your Highness’s status is, only know that you saved us. Our Entire Army has sworn a Heavenly Oath, pledging our undying loyalty to you!"

Peter Brown nodded slightly, "You will be glad for your choices."

After some casual conversation, Peter’s expression became serious, "Let’s discuss the current situation."

Jett Johnson looked at Peter and said, "There are all sorts of rumors outside, especially concerning Your Highness."

"Rumors about me?" Peter looked at everyone, puzzled.

Sam Collins explained, "After the people from Heaven’s Realm were killed by Your Highness, their Deputy Sect Master personally led a team to the scene. After their visit, they issued a bounty for the murderer, but, they haven’t found the culprit yet."

This statement brought smiles to everyone’s faces.

Peter also smiled, understanding the intentions of the people from Heaven’s Realm; they didn’t want to clash with him directly as it would bring no benefit to them.

Jett Johnson continued, "There’s a rumor that Your Highness is supported by a major sect from far beyond the Purple River Star Region, because otherwise, your powerful methods wouldn’t be explainable. Due to this rumor, everyone is hesitant to act."

This was something Peter hadn’t anticipated. Hearing the rumor, he was initially stunned, thinking these people really had wild imaginations. On further reflection, he felt this type of rumor was actually more acceptable to people.

"What do you all think?"

As Peter inquired, everyone instead looked back at him, their expressions filled with questions.

Seeing their expressions, Peter understood—they too were speculating whether he had the support of a major sect.

Forget it, let them speculate; the more they guessed, the better it would be for him.

Sam Collins said, "If Your Highness truly has the support of a major sect, it’s actually a good thing. At least the sects wouldn’t dare to make a move against you."

"By the way, Your Highness, people from Beast Sect have come. They said, since you’re a disciple of Beast Sect, they are ready to fully support you."

Oh!

Peter Brown then realized the dynamics outside were indeed changing. Beast Sect had initially been aggressive towards him, demanding his incorporation into their sect. Now, they had shown this gesture. What were they really thinking?

Jett Johnson analyzed, "Your Highness, we’ve analyzed Beast Sect’s thoughts. They might be testing your situation."

Peter thought for a moment and then nodded, "That’s indeed the case."

Sam Collins elaborated, "Beast Sect isn’t sure whether Your Highness has the support of a major sect. This gesture is firstly a display of goodwill, but it’s also to examine whether you’re truly a disciple of a major sect. If you are, joining Beast Sect would be a joke; if not, you might consider it."

Peter remarked, "Regarding the friendly gesture from Beast Sect, we’ll adopt a nonchalant approach. I’m not entering Beast Sect again."

His statement made everyone’s eyes shine again, as Neil Armstrong laughed, "It’s good that Your Highness has confidence; it will surely intimidate them!"

Well, everyone must have confirmed that he had the support of a major sect, even assuming that he was a disciple of it.

Sitting there and carefully analyzing everyone’s psychology for a while, Peter discovered that the more he displayed strength, the more the sects would back off. If he showed weakness, perhaps they wouldn’t fear him as much.

His opportunity had arrived!

Peter saw his chance.

With a composed demeanor, Peter addressed the group, "Is King’s City already under control?"

"It’s now under Your Highness’s control. We’ve brought a large number of troops from Wavehider City."

"Many princes’ armies have also joined under us; Your Highness can now control half of the territories of Lumos Kingdom!"

"Then prepare for my ascension!"

Peter Brown wanted to make a big move.
