Everyone was puzzled.

Why was there a commotion outside?

​​

When they came in just now, there weren't any problems.

However, Clemente and the others had grave expressions on their faces.

They subconsciously looked at Joelson, their eyes filled with worry.

"They're here."

Joelson muttered to himself in a low voice.

Clemente said in a low voice, "Looks like we won't be able to leave."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the palace.

"Joelson! Come out. Didn't you want my key too?"

"I'm coming!"

The shout echoed throughout the palace.

At this moment, everyone understood that Gladstone had come.

Clemente and the others' faces became unsightly.

Originally, he had thought that Gladstone would come back a few days later. The power of the arcane magic was powerful, so the consumption would naturally not be small.

But now, Gladstone knew that the people of the two empires were here, but he still dared to make such a ruckus. He was obviously very confident.

Gladstone was probably more difficult to deal with than they had imagined!

Joelson's face was calm as he slowly walked toward the palace gate.

The people of the two empires retreated to both sides to open a path for him.

Clemente, Valentine, as well as Toby and Edessa, followed behind him as he walked out.

Everyone arrived outside the palace.

They only saw that in the camp of the two empires, corpses were strewn all over the ground.

The others were in a panicked battle stance, staring warily at the man in midair.

The man was extremely handsome, with a faint smile on his face. His calm demeanor made people feel as though he was a young noble.

It was as though the ten thousand or so genius demigods surrounding him were merely his servants.

As soon as everyone walked out of the palace, his gaze fell upon Joelson.

It was as though he and Joelson were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Joelson looked back at him, staring back at him.

It was as though an invisible force was colliding between the two of them.

"Joelson."

"Gladstone," Joelson said in a low voice.

Everyone's eyes instantly widened, their eyes filled with shock.

He was Gladstone?

He had just killed ten thousand genius demigods of the Litlan Empire. Now he dared to cause trouble for Joelson!

It must be understood that of the ten thousand or so people of the two empires, nearly twenty thousand were still here!

Even if a peak god expert came, they were confident in being able to keep him here!

Gladstone didn't put them in his eyes at all!

However, at this moment, everyone didn't feel angry. Instead, they couldn't help but feel terrified.

They had just heard of Gladstone's terrifying deeds.

With just a single magic move, he had wiped out all ten thousand genius demigods of the Litlan Empire!

So what if they had ten thousand more people?

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Joelson.

It could be said that the outcome of the battle between the two of them was a matter of life and death for all of them!

If Joelson lost to Gladstone, then most likely none of them would be able to leave alive!

"Hahaha!"

Gladstone suddenly began to laugh wildly.

"I heard about your deeds, and I thought you were strong."

"And the two of you."

Gladstone suddenly looked at Clemente and Valentine.

"It seems that the so-called four great geniuses are all bugs like Sapir."

"No wonder you were able to defeat them. Defeating such bugs is also worth publicizing? Are the people of the mortal plane only so strong?"

Gladstone ridiculed them wantonly.

Clemente, however, wasn't angry. There was only a cautious expression on his face while his gaze towards Gladstone was filled with wariness.

With Gladstone's strength, if he were to face him, he wouldn't be able to put up any resistance at all. He truly had the qualifications.

On the other hand, Valentine's expression was extremely unsightly.

It wasn't because of Gladstone's ridicule, but because of the few people standing behind Gladstone.

"You actually betrayed the Quince Empire, you traitors!"

Valentine gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Those few people were people from the Quince Empire. They had been sent by him to search for the whereabouts of the last key.

Unexpectedly, they had now actually submitted to Gladstone!

Hearing Valentine's angry scolding, the few people were not too angry.

They only said coldly, "Betray the empire? We did not."

"Valentine, do you think that you are qualified to represent the empire?"

"I'm doing it for the empire!"

"Lord Gladstone comes from the Supreme Academy!"

"Do you know how much trouble the Quince Empire will be in if you offend him?"

"Considering that you have treated us quite well in the past, I can plead with Lord Gladstone to spare your life."

Hearing their words, the crowd immediately erupted into a frenzy. Countless discussions broke out.

"What? He's a student of the Supreme Academy?"

"It's over!"

"We're all finished!"

"Surrender to him! Perhaps we can even keep our lives!"

"Are you still shameless?"

"So what if he's from Supreme Academy? Lord Joelson also has the qualifications to become a student of the Supreme Academy!"

"That's right! Who says Lord Joelson can't beat him?"

"Lord Joelson also has four terrifying giant dragons!"

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Clemente and the others' faces turned ugly.

Especially Valentine, whose brows were almost knitted together.

"You traitors don't deserve to live in this world!"

Valentine shouted loudly.

As he spoke, his figure turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the people behind Gladstone at an extreme speed.

"Not good!" Clemente shouted in his heart.

Valentine was too anxious. Gladstone couldn't possibly watch him kill a few people.

"Hmph!"

Gladstone looked at him, snorted coldly, and threw a punch towards Valentine.

Bang!

There was no suspense at all.

Valentine was hit by Gladstone's punch, and his entire body was like a ragdoll as he rolled uncontrollably in the air.

He flew back at an even faster speed, even leaving countless afterimages in the air.

Clemente quickly went forward to catch Valentine.

If he were to crash into the palace, he might directly faint.

Even so, over a dozen of Valentine's bones had been broken.

Blood continuously spurted out of his mouth, and his body was also covered in blood.

"You dare to attack me with this bit of strength?"

"Are there only idiots like this in the Plane of Slaughter?"

Gladstone sneered, and the mockery in his eyes wasn't concealed at all.

Clemente's expression was unsightly, but there was nothing he could do.

"Is that all you have?"

Joelson's voice suddenly rang out.

Gladstone's smile instantly froze on his face, and his expression turned ugly.

"What did you say?"

Gladstone gritted his teeth and said.

He had merely defeated a few insects in the Plane of Slaughter.

How dare he speak to him like this?

Even in the higher Plane of Destruction, other than the Supreme Academy, no one dared to speak to him like this!
