Harshavardhan stared in disbelief. "An ungraded weapon capable of killing a seven-star rank expert from several kilometers away?"
He slowly looked toward the king.
"Who exactly is this Kiara, King Caleb?"
Even Caleb Crescent could only smile bitterly. "I ask myself the same question sometimes. Her background appears ordinary. Yet after arriving in the Phoenix Empire…"
"She suddenly rose like a dragon emerging from deep waters."
Then the king turned toward Philip again.
"Reply to her. Tell her I will personally attend. And summon Treasurer Zaros immediately."
He paused briefly before adding.
"Also, contact Lunar Bank. We may require a substantial loan."
Harshavardhan's expression changed instantly.
"Your Majesty… the Aryavarta Empire can assist with that."
Both Caleb Crescent and Philip looked toward him.
Harshavardhan continued.
