Smiling in face of the pressure the man called Tao Xiang was intentionally releasing, Bai Long said, "I wish to have an audience with the King. And no, someone of your status cannot ask what business I have with him."
Hearing those words everyone had a shocked face with their mouths wide open, while Tao Xiang also was stunned for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Come inside... I'll inform the Majesty, and ask if he wants to grant you his audience."
While the general public might see the Bai Kingdom as a newly made one which couldn't pose any threat to a long-existing Kingdom like theirs, Tai Xiang as the strongest general knew the truth.
The Zhu Kingdom was strong, but not much stronger than the Bai Kingdom.
Therefore, even though he had confidence in winning against the Bai Kingdom if they did go to war, Tao Xiang knew that the losses they incurred wouldn't be worth it.
