Rose gave Gandru a sidelong look and said, "Don't be so rude, Gandru. This is the guest the Empress personally named to have an audience with. Just leave him to me."
Gandru said nonchalantly, "Then I'll hand over here and you can take him to the Imperial Palace. I need to gather the elites to surround his army. If Her Majesty the Empress agrees to our attack, I need to ensure more heroes participate in defeating a Legendary Hero to gain powerful Commander Traits."
Lin Rui said irritably, "This kind of thing, you don't need to say in front of me. Moreover, I advise you not to make such a big deal; it's a complete waste of energy."
"Hmph! Arrogant and conceited, I await the moment the Empress orders!" Gandru turned away disdainfully and left directly.
Rose stepped forward and said to Lin Rui, "I am tasked to take you to the Royal Court to see the Empress. However..."
Before Rose could finish speaking, Lin Rui suddenly felt a vast murderous intent enveloping him.
