The Duke White Tiger's agreement of "I promise" signified that the Xingluo Empire was about to change hands.
Xu Jiawei smiled and put down the short blade in his hand, pulling the Duke White Tiger up from the ground. He exhaled softly and said, "I can finally take a breather. I will immediately issue an imperial decree to announce this matter to the world. What happens next is all up to you. However, I want a duke's title for myself. Trading places seems quite interesting, doesn't it?"
Dai Hao looked at Xu Jiawei, who was displaying a face full of delight, understanding that he was genuinely happy. Over the past years, being the ruler of a country, Xu Jiawei had faced immense pressures. Now, with the formidable foe having retreated and his responsibilities lifted off his shoulders, he seemed much younger.
"Before you handle other matters, it's time for us to conclude our unfinished business," Huo Yuhao's voice sounded.
