Chapter 303 Entering the Contract Array
His Majesty Rhys Landor's eyes flickered as he weighed whether to destroy Hollande first or Hoggin first.
Compared to Holland's righteousness, in some ways, the deep-thinking Hoggitz posed a greater threat to him.
Even if Holland harbored hatred for the Empire, his nature made it impossible for him to commit treason or oppose the people.
However, he was a little unsure about Hoggia.
Meeting Hogg's seemingly all-knowing, mocking gaze, His Majesty Rhys Landor made his decision immediately.
"This child must not be allowed to live." His Majesty Rhys Landor's heart tightened, and his killing intent was made no attempt to conceal itself.
A few breaths later, he said with a smile, "Of course."
Holland, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
"Gezi, come back."
Huo Gezhi paused, turning around in surprise: "Cousin?"
Holland looked up at Hoggia and said calmly, "Come back."
Hoggia nodded and stepped back behind Hollande.
This unconditional obedience startled His Majesty Rhys Landor once again.
The more powerful and influential the major families of the empire became, the more internal strife they engaged in.
Although the Huo family was small in number, their unity was unmatched by other prominent families.
"We cannot allow Holland to have a chance to stand up," His Majesty Rhys Landor silently resolved in his heart.
He gestured to Rhys Calandi with his eyes.
Rhys Calandi received a signal from Rhys Landor and urged, "Since General Hog is unwilling to give the Flame Lion to Young Master Hogzi, then hurry up and make the contract."
Ignoring Rhys Calandi's attempts to sow discord, Holland said, "Second Uncle, Second Brother, please step back."
Hawthorne and Hoggia followed each instruction and took a step back in perfect unison.
Even though Holland is now in a wheelchair and still recovering from serious injuries.
He remained the undisputed authority in the Huo family.
The moment Holland regained consciousness, the position of head of the Holland family was handed back to Holland by Hawthorne.
Even though the two were worried about a royal conspiracy and feared that Holland's injuries would worsen.
However, they will unconditionally support any decision Holland makes, whether right or wrong.
Holland maneuvered his wheelchair alone toward the contract array.
Hawthorne and Hoggia clenched their fists, staring intently at Hollande.
The white-bearded old man, the three marshals, Prince Rhys Calandi, and His Majesty Rhys Landor all involuntarily revealed smiles of triumph.
When Holland stood up from his wheelchair and slowly but firmly stepped into the contract array.
Marshal Li grabbed the level eight fire lion from its cage with one hand and threw it into the contract array.
The white-bearded elder, who had been waiting outside the contract array, immediately activated the protective shield, sealing the contract array and Holland and the level eight fire lion inside it.
The Flame Lion, with its fiery temper, had been imprisoned by the royal family for three days. Now, it saw a human wandering around in front of it.
Without a second thought, it roared and charged at Holland.
Holland channeled his mental energy, covering his fist, and sent the Flame Lion flying. Because his body had not yet recovered, the recoil caused him to fall to the ground as well.
The Flame Lion shook its head and pounced on Holland even more fiercely.
Flames erupted around him, instantly raising the temperature of the surrounding air.
The white-bearded old man, the three marshals, Prince Rhys Calandi, and His Majesty Rhys Landor all stared intently, their faces filled with anticipation and a desire to see a good show.
Hawthorne and Hoggia paused, holding their breath in tension, clenching their teeth, their eyes fixed on the person and beast inside the protective shield.
