Chapter 235: Revenge!_2

The Chief Minister stepped forward a few steps, retrieved an emerald gemstone the size of a fist from a hidden compartment, and set it atop a basket of feathers. Under the bright candle light, the giant emerald gemstone was translucent and pure, refracting a soul-stirring radiance, like a splendid illusion.

Puap's eyes instantly widened, his pupils filled with the sparkling gemstone. The eyes of the militia were also captivated by the immense gemstone. Such a sacred gemstone was certainly rare in the world, invaluable.

"This is a gift for the Great Chief, from the distant southern Rainforest, a treasured heirloom of the Royal Family."

The Chief's words were calm yet stern.

"Remember! You may use the other valuables, but the gemstones and the Prince, you must hand them all to the Chief!"

Puap bowed his head, not daring to look directly at the Chief's profound and weathered gaze, and responded softly.

"Yes..."

"Puap, time is of the essence, hurry and take the Prince away!"
