Chapter 716

Cultivating good relations with the Wang Shiguizu of the Geya Kingdom does not seem like a bad thing.

All benefits, no drawbacks!

At the very least,

Lu En does not need to give much in return.

At most, he'd occasionally help the Geya Kingdom by clearing out some restless pirates.

Such a trivial matter is effortless for him.

"But…"

"Now is not the time."

Lu En, eager to return home, did not wish to delay his journey back to Windmill Village.

Cultivating ties with the Wang Shiguizu of the Geya Kingdom need not be rushed.

Right now,

Lu En holds the initiative!

Those who wish to flatter him…

Are members of the Wang Shiguizu of the Geya Kingdom.

And it is not Lu En who seeks to flatter the Geya Kingdom's royal house.

Thus,

Lu En, upon thinking of this, could only shake his head and politely decline the invitation: "I'm sorry, but I haven't returned to my hometown in over a year."

"So…"

"Please allow me to postpone my visit to the Wang Gong for now."

With those words spoken,

Bruce felt no anger whatsoever; on the contrary, he found it perfectly reasonable.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu En speaks wisely—I was thoughtless. Mr. Lu En has been away from his hometown for over a year; he ought to return and see it properly."

"How about this…"

"If Mr. Lu En is willing, when the time comes, please call my Denji Chong—I will send personnel to personally come to Windmill Village and escort you to the Wang Gong."

"What do you say?"

It was clear that

Bruce was utterly serious about flattering Lu En.

Even after being refused, he showed no sign of displeasure.

Beside him,

Nalisi and Jiake remained silent, heads bowed.

They had never seen—

Prince Bruce, always so haughty, actually lower himself to deliberately flatter a child.

Today,

they had witnessed something entirely new.

At the same time,

they could not help but wonder:

Could that five-year-old boy…

Really be that terrifying?

To make Prince Bruce humiliate himself just to flatter him!

"The Fist Demon, Lu En?"

"Is this man truly that strong?"

"Is he really worth such desperate flattery from Prince Bruce?"

"Is this the influence of the strongest genius of the seas?"

The two thought to themselves.

Bruce's humble demeanor also shocked the countless guards and servants surrounding them.

"Good heavens…"

"Is Prince Three really this subservient?"

"What status and background does that boy have? How could he make Prince Three so reverent?"

"It's unbelievable."

"Prince Three is a prince of the Geya Kingdom, and one of the king's potential successors! What has this five-year-old boy done to deserve such flattery?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believe it."

"It's truly astonishing!"

"…."

The crowd was deeply moved and visibly shaken.

In their minds,

Prince Bruce had always been aloof and above all.

Yet,

on this very day,

what they now witnessed completely overturned their understanding of Bruce.

So…

Even someone as noble as Prince Three must sometimes flatter others!

The most terrifying thing is,

the person Prince Three was flattering was a five-year-old boy!

"Who exactly is this He Fangshensheng?"

A group of people were utterly shaken, unable to fathom it.

Upon hearing Bruce's proposal…

Lu En pondered for a moment.

He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Then, I'll leave it to Prince Three at that time."

Since the other party had gone this far, refusing would seem ungracious.

Moreover,

he had no objection to cultivating good relations with the royal family of the Goya Kingdom.

"Mr. Lu En, here is my telephone worm."

"If you feel the time is right, please call this telephone worm."

"I will immediately send someone to escort you to Wang Gong."

Bruce broke into an excited smile.

Having secured Lu En's agreement, he felt his mood lift immeasurably.

Having accepted the telephone worm Bruce had given him…

Lu En prepared to leave.

The thought of returning soon to Windmill Village filled him with intense excitement.

After more than 117 years,

he was finally returning again!

Meanwhile,

Watching Lu En's retreating figure turn away, Bruce's eyes shimmered with anticipation.

Beside him,

Nalisi and Jiake couldn't help asking: "Third Brother, is it really worth all this fuss? He looks like nothing more than an immature boy."

Hearing this,

Bruce let out an involuntary laugh, his gaze deep and solemn and heavy.

"You don't understand."

"This person's future…"

"is boundless!"
