The guard received permission to be interviewed and entered the camp.

Everyone else was arranged on the periphery, only Milante was able to carry forward the gift sent by Tulip VI for Emperor Kusha.

The guards had searched the gift box in advance, inside it was an extremely exquisite jade sculpture.

Finding no problems, they chose to let Milante carry it forward.

His long and short swords at the waist were both taken away, and as he walked through the camp, it was evident that Emperor Kusha's arrangement of the camp was very ingenious.

It seemed loose, yet possessed a unique pattern within, ensuring that upon attack these people could get on horseback to fight immediately.

The passage outside the camp was winding and narrow.

Inside, the camp roads suddenly became smooth.

The soldiers guarding here were not as loose as those on the outside, appearing disciplined.

They stood motionless under the sun, occasionally with guards crossing patrol.

Milante reached the front of the golden top tent and after being searched by the guards again, he opened the box to let the other party see the jade sculpture inside.

It was a crystal-clear elephant.

Kusha loved elephants most, using them as totems and emblems.

The guard turned inside, announced briefly, and came out again: "You can go in."

Milante carried the treasure forward.

Sturdy generals stood on both sides inside the tent.

Only one person sat there at the end.

Ganishka, the extremely brutal emperor, though not tall or strong, was just over 160 cm in height, wearing a round gold hat.

His face was square, adorned in a luxurious robe, and his fingers decorated with various gemstones.

Ganishka's eyes were as fierce as a vulture, devoid of emotion, he stared at Milante and said: "Are you the envoy?"

"Yes, I am Milante, in command of Tulip VI, specially here to visit Emperor Kusha, presenting rare treasures and beautiful women to show goodwill between the two countries."

Milante kneeled respectfully and offered up the wooden box.

With a glance, Ganishka signaled the maid forward to bring the wooden box, placing it on the table.

He opened it, seeing an immensely exquisite jade elephant inside.

"Oh~"

Ganishka was instantly attracted, picking up the jade elephant to admire it closely, "I've heard people say that the Tulip Kingdom is commercially developed, possessing various rare treasures.

This jade elephant is truly beautiful."

"Indeed, but there is a small flaw on the jade elephant, I hope the emperor doesn't mind."

Milante's words piqued Ganishka's curiosity, he examined the jade elephant thoroughly but found no sign of any flaw.

"Where is the flaw on it?"

"Can't you see it? It's right at the elephant's trunk."

Ganishka frowned slightly, stared at the elephant's trunk once more, but still saw nothing, his expression turned angry: "Are you joking with me?"

"I am grievously wronged, how could I dare joke with you! If you don't believe me, have someone else take a look."

Milante quickly protested.

Upon hearing this, Ganishka had the maid pass the jade elephant to the generals for inspection.

After a round, the jade elephant returned to his hand.

Ganishka asked, "Do you see any flaws on the elephant's trunk?"

The generals all shook their heads and said, "None."

"What?! Unexpectedly, everyone here... alas, it seems my end is near!"

Milante's face turned ashen.

Ganishka glanced at the group of generals, his eyes showing suspicion, could it be that this jade elephant really had a flaw?

If these people spotted it but chose not to speak the truth, opting to deceive him?

If they could all see it, except for himself, wouldn't it prove that there was something wrong with his vision as the emperor!

If anyone exploited this against him in the future, wouldn't he be blind?

Could it be that the woman's poison caused some kind of aftereffect?

He was still there, uncertain and suspicious.

One general couldn't help but speak out: "Emperor, I think this guy is clearly conjuring trouble, better drag him out and behead him quickly!"

"Right!" "End member believes he's clearly up to no good!"

They shouted to have Milante dragged out and beheaded, which only deepened Ganishka's doubts, he did not have anyone drag Milante off to execution, instead saying: "Come over here, point out to me, where exactly on the elephant's trunk is this flaw?"

"As you command."

Milante acted very respectfully, sweat already beginning to form in his palm.

Brutal people are often suspicious, not trusting others.

His gamble of pretending was a stroke of luck.

Milante moved forward, bending to say, "Emperor, you see there's a small flaw right here on the trunk."

Ganishka followed his direction to look but still saw no flaw.

Milante swiftly snatched the jade elephant, then fiercely smacked it against Ganishka's big face.

Slap!

A crisp sound, the jade elephant shattered, and the surrounding generals were stunned on the spot.

Milante grabbed the broken jade elephant, fiercely stabbed it into Ganishka's thick neck, blood spurted out.

"Gah!"

His throat sounded like a bellows, eyes widened.

Milante wiped the blood with the silk on the table, turned and sprinted out, shouting: "Do you want to serve such a brutal king?"

Then, he darted out of the golden top tent, leaving the generals inside with complex expressions, looking at each other.

None stepped forward, everyone continued standing there, including the maid.

They feared Ganishka's brutality greatly.

"Ugh ugh!"

Ganishka kept trying to make sounds, but his neck was pierced, the noise he managed was like a dying beast's wail.

Am I really about to die?

Ganishka couldn't believe it, especially feeling a kind of unprecedented terror toward the cold reactions around him.
