Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!-Chapter 27 : Open Threat

Everyone's attention was on the Third Prince, whose reputation was of a troublemaker in the entire Dynasty. In fact, no one thought that he was going to be well-behaved, even in this situation.

The long period of silence looked somewhat awkward. Unlike the other Princes, no one dared to get close to the Third Prince, as if he was a walking calamity that could destroy anyone who got close to him.

The long period of silence was eventually broken by a calm yet dignified voice that could be heard clearly in this silence.

"Third Brother, you're here. It's good to see you finally taking our father's invitation seriously."

Xu Shan raised his head, looking at the source of the voice. It didn't take him long to recognize the person who had spoken. It was a chubby young man in his late twenties who was clad in a Royal Robe.

His hair was jet black, just like his eyes. However, on the back of his left hand, a Seventh Grade Star Mark was visible.

Generally, Xu Shan wanted to avoid unnecessary attention, but with his identity, the most suspicious thing would've been for him to not create any trouble.

"Second Brother." He lazily responded, walking closer to the far end of the hallway where the other Princes were staying.

"You've gotten even bigger. Shouldn't you start dieting? I don't want to watch you die of a heart attack at such a young age. It would be such a pity if you couldn't attend First Brother's coronation and died before that."

His words clearly revealed the carefree attitude that didn't care about anyone around him. In fact, it made the others in the hall even more taken aback.

The Third Prince clearly didn't show any respect. Moreover, he pressed all the pain points of the Second Prince, who had always wanted to become the next Emperor.

The second prince wasn't the Crown Prince, but his ambitions for the throne weren't hidden from anyone. That's why he'd been competing with the First Prince.

The Second Prince's face turned somewhat ugly in anger. In his mind, he was cursing Xu Shan for talking ill of him, but he didn't show it on his face.

He could only laugh in response, hiding his true face behind his calm exterior. "Hahaha, it's good to see Third Brother being so concerned about me."

"Don't worry about me though. I'm sure I'll live a long life. The same can't be said about you though. I heard you've made a lot of enemies. You should really be careful, third brother. The world is much more cruel and dangerous than you can imagine."

As he spoke, he seriously tried to hide the killing intent in his voice, but it was noticed by Xu Shan.

Even though the Third Prince didn't have any interest in the throne or the crown but because he was the favorite of the Emperor, all the Princes were concerned that he might just convince the Emperor to give him the throne one day. None of them wanted to see that day!

Xu Shan stopped before the Second Prince, with only an arm's distance between the two.

"Do you think the hypocrites who dream day and night about killing me can actually do it?

He placed his hand on the shoulder of the Second Prince, looking into his eyes.

"Who knows, I might just be waiting for them to take action so that I can get an opportunity to stab a Sword right through their heart openly?"

The Second Prince didn't know why it was, but as soon as Xu Shan placed his hand on his shoulders, he felt an innate sense of fear deep within, as if he could die anytime.

He subconsciously took a few steps back without even realizing it. It was only when he came out of his daze that he realized that his forehead was covered in sweat.

It wasn't just the Second Prince who was momentarily frozen. Even the Crown Prince, who was standing not too far from them, heard those words clearly. It was as if the words were targeted toward them in the form of a threat.

He didn't show any reaction and just brought his glass of wine close to his lips, taking a sip before he continued talking with the heirs of the influential clans who had gathered around him.

In the distance, Chen Rouyin subconsciously moved behind the Eldest Princess. She hadn't forgotten what happened a few days ago when she went to meet the Third Prince. And to hear such an open threat from him in this place, she couldn't help but shudder.

The hall once again returned to silence. This time, no one spoke, worried that they might attract the attention of the calamity that didn't even hesitate in threatening the second prince in such a manner.

The vast hall was so silent that if one were to close their eyes, they would've thought that there was no one there.

Xu Shan didn't pay attention to the others. He had achieved his purpose. He simply picked up a glass of wine and started waiting to see who the guest was.

The long silence was broken by the sound of the large metallic doors opening.

Xu Shan turned to the door like the rest. There, he noticed his father, looking just as majestic as always.

His father's aura was nothing like he had ever felt before. It was like his father was brimming with strength. Even he didn't know how strong his father was. However, he had heard that his father was one of the rare few Heavenly Celestials in the entire continent! 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

His father wasn't walking alone this time. He was accompanied by another person.

Surprisingly, the person next to him wasn't very old. In fact, it was a man who looked to be in his late twenties only. Despite his young age, the man had a Royal Aura around him that didn't pale in comparison to his father.

Even though the two had a huge difference in strength, they both had similar temperament of a monarch!

The young man was dressed in black, but his clothes were slightly different than his father's.

While his father wore an ancient Royal Robe made from the most expensive materials, the young man next to him wore something that reminded Xu Shan of the official attire of military generals back on earth.

The clothes weren't completely identical, but there were a few similarities. From the shoulders of the young man's clothes, a green dragon robe was draping down, moving as he walked.

His short black hair complimented his deep blue eyes under the lights in the Royal Hall.

Xu Shan didn't know if it was his misconception, but he felt as if the young man was occasionally looking at him.

While Xu Shan was thinking about it, he heard Xinren's voice next to him. "This shouldn't be…."
