"What? Jia Yan pays respect!"
Apart from Kama, there was also the giant monster, Heise, inside the palace.
At this moment, hearing the name Jia Yan, his entire figure trembled, and his expression turned grim.
A decade or so ago, the Country of Taia had experienced turmoil, and then, with the help of a strong one, Kama had recaptured Taia, and through that strong oneās renown, had dominated for a period of time.
Though after the strong one left, Taia quickly returned to its former weak status, but that strong oneās presence had always been a matter of concern for the other forces in the central area.
And that strong oneās name...
was precisely Jia Yan!?
"Oh no, could it be that Jia Yan didnāt leave, and is merely in seclusion within Taia? Though heās rumored to be just a dignitary, he once had the experience of defeating a semi-permanent star level entity, Iām no match for him!"
Heise became tense.
When Kama heard Jia Yanās name, her beautiful eyes froze, and she quickly ignored Heise beside her, directly announcing Jia Yanās audience! Of course, she didnāt care about Heise.
If it truly was Jia Yan, then what was there to fear? With Jia Yan here, she wouldnāt even fear a semi-permanent star level strong one, let alone a secondary level being?!
Heiseās face turned sullen, looking towards the entrance of the great hall.
Kama was filled with anticipation, gazing at the scene outside the door.
They were both waiting for the appearance of the legendary Giant Mosquito, said to be dozens of meters in size.
But in the next moment, the smile on Kamaās face froze.
Heise was startled for a moment, then the heaviness and gloominess in his demeanor lightened, and a smirk appeared.
Because they saw that stepping through the entrance was not a colossal entity, but rather a humanoid creature that appeared much smaller than the average Bella clan person.
This was a man with black hair and black eyes, walking steadily, step by step into the hall, his expression calm and composed, with eyes that seemed to contain immense confidence.
His steps appeared slow, but in fact, he moved extremely swiftly.
He reached the center of the hall, standing side by side with Heise.
Even though the giant monster beside him loomed large at two hundred meters, making the black-haired man look like an ant beside a mountain, he did not appear overshadowed in the least.
"Kama... Your Majesty, long time no see."
The man lightly looked at Kama sitting in the high position and said with a smile.
"Oh, hello, are you called Jia Yan?" Kama, seated in the highest position, felt a loss of hope, only managing a wry smile and shaking her head.
True, in her mind, Jia Yan was still with the Bella clan, how could he arrive at the Country of Taia so quickly?
Before the small humanoid could answer, Heise, standing to the side, burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, Kama, I must say, this joke youāve arranged truly scared me. To intentionally bring such a fellow during our discussion, was it to remind me of Jia Yanās existence?"
He gazed menacingly at the ant-like man with black hair at his feet.
"I was really scared, but if you intend to use the nonexistent Jia Yan to threaten me, then youāre underestimating me, Heise. Therefore, I shall... kill!"
His eyes turned sharp.
To be frightened by such an insignificant ant-like creature was an insult to him, and only killing could cleanse this embarrassment.
To speak bluntly, it was anger out of shame!
He believed the scene before him was Kamaās intentional use of a false title to deceive him during important negotiations, and he was extremely furious.
He raised his big foot and stepped towards the small figure beside him!
"Spare him!"
Kama, on the high seat, though a bit dizzy and not recognizing the male figure below, upon seeing Jia Yanās human form, smaller even than their Bella clan by a few sizes, could not help but intervene.
Her strength had recently reached the venerable level, supported by royal resources.
Boom!
Brainwave Power erupted, she intended to use her Brainwave Power to stop Heiseās descending foot instantly.
She had achieved the status of a dignitary, her strength naturally unmatched by ordinary strong ones.
Moreover, faintly, with Kamaās talent, she seemed beyond a typical dignitary, possibly nearing the level of a bottom-tier genius.
But even so, in the face of a secondary level strong one, it was still insufficient!
Heiseās strength at the secondary level, upon sensing Kamaās move, smirked coldly.
"Merely a dignitary trying to stop me?"
He didnāt halt his descending foot, directly stepping down, and Kamaās blasting Brainwave Power was unable to block the moment.
Boom!!!
The entire hall erupted with a terrifying roar of a massive tremor.
In the great hall, the spot where the giant foot landed completely cracked open, with fissures extending in all directions, destroying the foundation of the entire hall.
"Heise, how dare you kill someone in my Taia Nation Palace?! Even if this matter is reported to the Director of the Red Hall, I will seek justice!"
Seeing Heiseās massive foot land, Kama assumed that the black-haired man who had just walked into the hall surely couldnāt survive, and her expression turned extremely grim. Her massive chest heaved with anger.
Although she didnāt recognize the man, she instantly knew he was likely related to the Bella clan, yet he hadnāt even spoken a word, and she didnāt know why he was called āJia Yanā. To be brutally stomped to death by Heise without uttering a word felt unbearably humiliating to her.
"Haha, why wouldnāt I dare to kill? If he dares to insult me, Heise, a dignified Secondary Level powerhouse, he must suffer my wrath!"
Heise laughed heartily, his expression extremely arrogant.
It seemed this incident gave him a reason.
"Kama! Not only him, but your Taia country as well dared to insult me during negotiations. Unless you agree to double the compensation, youāll have to come with me to the Red Hall and personally apologize to our Lord Director."
"What? Murder someone, and you want me to apologize?! This is outrageous, simply outrageous!"
Kamaās face finally shed its regal, queenly expression, resembling the Kama from over a decade ago in the Desolate Star System. Her demeanor was no longer calm.
"Dream on. Iām telling you, we Taia arenāt at the mercy of your Red Hall. If you wish to destroy our nation, then bring it on. Now, leave!"
Kama shouted angrily, and soldiers who were ready outside swarmed into the hall like a tide, instantly surrounding Heise.
However, in the face of a Secondary Level powerhouse, the soldiers, at most of Venerable level, seemed weaker.
"You want me to leave? Very well, now I have another reason to kill. Kama, this is the reason you gave me, hahaha..."
Heise laughed and then activated his Brainwave Power, as if he intended to completely suppress the surrounding soldiers.
But at that moment, a calm voice softly echoed from Heiseās side.
"A reason to kill, right? Youāve shown me disrespect, so I have a reason to kill you too."
This voice was extremely indifferent, but the moment it appeared, every creature in the hall seemed to feel an irresistible, terrifying pressure.
And Heise, being the first to bear the brunt, suddenly felt a tremendous force directly pressing against his body.
Boom!
With a loud crash, Heise, who was about to erupt, found his legs weakened and was immediately forced to kneel on the ground by that overwhelming force.
As he knelt, the owner of that voice caught the attention of Kama and everyone else from Taia, and they all looked at him.
He was the very āJia Yanā who just entered the hall and was supposed to be crushed to mush by Heiseās foot!
"How... how can this be?!"
Heise was now on the ground, unable to stand.
The little black-haired man stood right in front of his eyes, and he could clearly see his features.
Heise was completely bewildered at this moment.
When the little man entered earlier, he particularly sensed the manās strength and detected nothing. He thought he was just an awfully ordinary Bella clansman. Little did he expect that the man not only evaded his stomp but now unleashed such terrifying power!
He was completely suppressing Heise. Considering he was a Secondary Level powerhouse, for someone to suppress him so easily, could this person be at the Semi-permanent Star Level?!
When did Taia gain such a Semi-permanent Star Level powerhouse?!
"Bastard! Who are you really?!"
Heise frantically struggled, but to no avail. No matter how much strength he used, the force pressing down on him felt like Mount Tai, utterly unmoved by his efforts.
"You..."
In his extreme shock and anger, Kama, who stood up from her throne, now meticulously re-evaluated the black-haired man who had suddenly unleashed terrifying power and completely subdued Heise, a figure that Taia could never manage before.
Finally, after careful scrutiny, disbelief flickered in her eyes.
"Are you Lord Jia Yanās avatar?! Lord Jia Yan!"
She suddenly shouted with extreme joy, and simultaneously, her expression turned to one of immense delight, as if she had seen the person she most wanted to meet in the world.
No wonder; she had only seen an avatar created by Jia Yan in Taia once before, and that avatar was hurriedly crafted, so it was normal for her not to recognize it now.
Furthermore, this avatar wasnāt even made by Taia anymore; it was made by Xi Bala. Its aura and principle differed significantly from many aspects of Taia, so it was natural for her not to recognize it.
Upon being recognized, Jia Yan also faintly smiled.
"Haha, Kama, after more than a decade, your voice is still as loud as ever."
"Lord!" Upon hearing this, Kamaās face flushed red immediately.
There were many of her soldiers around this time. In the past, Kama always presented herself as a dignified empress in front of them. Jia Yan directly exposed her true nature, and she blushed naturally.
"Alright, letās catch up later. Empress Kama, this guy has provoked me, may I kill him?"
