I also want to see the tournament

The next day five hawks the size of a small room carrying all of the Alba family, plus Frey and other close friends.

As for the Kingdom, they left it to the prime minister and the two deputy ministers. if these idiots tried to make a coup d'etat they would only kill them.

Meanwhile Lewis and Joanna who were in a Hawk have expressions difficult to describe. These were Elementary Half Step Falcons!

And they were Five!

It was known that the great powers had only 2 flying beasts each and the only people who could use them at will were Sect master and the great Elder but now his ex-wife had almost half of those on her own,

If this didn't show how strong Anna had become, what would she do?

While Joanna could only resign herself, Apparently her husband was wise to tell her to stop the war with Anna, If she followed her she would only end up dead.

In fact she had asked her father to refrain from doing anything to Anna's business and even went to the Snow Kingdom to ask the ex queen for forgiveness. Accepting defeat.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go on but the loss of a warehouse in addition to the money stored there hit her hard.

Many did not know it but Walter had saved for several decades in order to buy a fleet of Great Waves Dynasty iron ships in order to expand his business along the sea coast of 25 countries and even go to the small islands surrounding the mainland. If he could do this, his benefits would have been monumental.

Walter normally wouldn't have that much gold with him, in fact neither would the chambers of commerce in the Northern states have that liquid money.

So commercial families did not live together and had a great variety of branches with a small part of their total wealth, making it impossible to steal all their wealth or annihilate them in one fell swoop.

If they hit the family or headquarters, the branches took their share of wealth and hid in safe houses for a couple of decades until they could slowly appear.

Because of this, Walter divided his wealth into five, leaving a large part of the wealth in his house in case one day something happens in his house. No doubt he would flee through tunnels made by himself with part of the wealth.

If an enemy attacks him he will have to divide his labor into five which will make him have enough time to escape, the commercial families were not foolish and did what merchants do best. Copy the competitor.

No one knows who made this system but no doubt they thought it was a business family to prevent others from having bad intentions with their money, Because by doing this, Even if they stole the wealth the labor involved to do so would make the profits small compared to the effort.

If you really wanted to destroy a commercial family you would have to launch a simultaneous attack on the headquarters and all its branches, something that would only be done by a madman with many resources to waste or someone very powerful who could kill them just by seeing them.

Now Walter had been robbed of a fifth of his wealth which was the same as taking an arm, this would delay several years in his plans. He had no energy to waste in the shower of the throne and worse knowing that the enemy was so strong.

To match it he would have to hire strong experts but without their own strength these experts could get out of control betraying him, because of this at best he smuggled experts in the first level Gathering Qi.

So the best thing was to surrender with your strength you couldn't help your grandson even if he wanted to and knew that the power of money was limited. Deciding that now he would only spend his life doing business avoiding politics.

Since the third prince killed two Great Elders of the Sea Palace, he was no fool and realized that his grandson was very inferior to that monster, only waiting for that grandson of his to realize this and choose to live in the shadow of his brother. It didn't sound pretty but it was better than dying. Besides, with the third prince in command it seemed that the uprising of the Alba family was only a matter of time.

The only thing that puzzled Walter was that the third prince was so talented because none of the six powers had established cordial relations with him?

Of the six powers, only three will be able to have good relations with the third prince they were: The iron fortress, Clan Grey and the Martial City.

But none of them had.

Meanwhile, the third generation of the Alba family is happy riding the falcon this was the first time they left the Kingdom capital!

Among them only the first princess went out to train while members under the age of 14 were forbidden to leave the Royal Palace unsupervised and could not leave the capital.

Among them were two people with a bad face.

The first one was the second princess, I couldn't believe that Alexander hid such amazing and beautiful animals from her.

the second was the third princess.

She didn't like the outdoors and preferred to spend time reading in her room outside the outside world but now she was being bathed in the rays of the sun, making her feel uncomfortable. She didn't want to come but seeing that the whole family including the concubines would go to the Martial City she had no choice but to go with them.

While Jackys, Guy, Britt and Elise were in a good mood. Everyone wanted to sightsee in their own way. and Elise was excited to see the competition.

They soon spent hours and half a day in Martial City. Five huge Falcons could be seen on the horizon. Alarming everyone.

Because the beasts of that size were at least half step Elemental beasts!

Apparently they were in V formation making the experts realize that they were being controlled by Someone, This reassured them but they also thought, Who comes in those mounts.

Soon in front of the martial city was the Lord of the City to welcome the distinguished guests.

Apart from him, there was also a middle-aged man in a black uniform and on his back was written "Eternal radiance".

This was the man in charge of watching over the competition of this region! and belonged to one of the most powerful forces of the Prim State!

The pavilion of the Eternal Radiance!

This was a force where Elemental half step cultivators could be counted as hundreds! If only one of them took the final step they could become a mortal country!

In the eyes one could see the Arrogance of man as he thought: "Who in this desert land could have so many mounts half an Elemental step?"
