"Fifth stage, interesting," Arthur said as he looked into the woman's black eyes.
She was actually on par with Samuel, perhaps even stronger as she clearly had a deep foundation.
Among his people, practically only his aunt could defeat her.
With the current state of the earth, to advance that far at such a young age was certainly impossible unless her talent was simply too high or she got something that could push her strength to that point without any ill effects.
"Who are you?" The woman asked as she arrived in front of Arthur while her hand slashed her sword towards his face.
Attacking while asking practically had the purpose of disrupting the opponent's focus.
Too bad she was up against Arthur, he had no problem answering while parrying.
"Arthur," he said and at the same time an ice sword was created in his hand.
He blocked the woman's sword attack with the ice sword.
The woman thought that her sword would cut through the ice sword while Arthur would be pushed down because she had the advantage in terms of position where she jumped from the tree while Arthur jumped into the air from the ground.
In terms of pressure, she practically had the upper hand.
However, when their swords met, Yukiko felt as if she hit a steel wall.
Not only did her hands tremble, she even felt a kind of shockwave, the result of her own power bouncing off her.
In the end, she was pushed back and at the same time Arthur kicked her in the chest.
Whoosh!
BANG!
She was thrown down, hitting a tree root.
"Princess!" The other ninjas panicked when they saw that.
They were also angry and lunged straight at Arthur, forgetting the fact that they weren't strong enough to fight him.
Arthur waved his hand, creating a giant fireball that flew towards them. It was such a shocking sight that Anna and Shopia parted their lips.
Both seemed to wonder how such a huge fire could be created by him with a wave of his hand.
"Fools, quickly retreat!" The princess shouted loudly.
She hastily stood up and then jumped towards the fireball.
At the same time, her fingers moved, as if she was forming a certain seal.
Arthur was even more intrigued as such a technique was indeed very rare.
Whoosh!
She slashed her sword which then created thousands of spiritual slashes.
Each one emitted an extremely powerful sharp aura, as if they were real swords.
Under all those slashes, the fireball split into many pieces, failed to explode and finally disappeared.
Pa! Pa!
Arthur and the woman landed on the ground simultaneously.
The latter looked at Arthur in amazement.
"How is it possible that you have both fire and ice?" She asked.
Arthur wasn't interested in answering that question.
The woman's identity interested him more because earlier the ninjas had called her princess.
"You're not the Japanese Princess who has been popular on social media recently, are you?" Arthur asked with a strange smile.
He didn't really follow the news, but sometimes it still passed by as he scrolled through his phone.
He had a hard time distinguishing between the woman in front of him and the princess because there was indeed a striking difference.
The latter usually wore noble-style dresses and her videos were mostly of her visiting official events.
Yukiko's eyes narrowed as she heard Arthur's question.
She didn't answer, but didn't try to deny it.
Perhaps she was upset that her identity was revealed but also helpless that it was inevitable.
"Well, let's see if that's true," Arthur said as he moved his finger backwards.
"You?"
Yukiko was stunned as she found her mask moving on its own, slipping off her face before falling, leaving her beautiful young face revealed.
It happened because Arthur had secretly connected an energy thread to her mask, just like the one he used when he taught Carla and Bella to cook.
When seeing Yukiko, Anna and Shopia recognized her immediately, they spontaneously said, "how is that possible?"
Anna, as a businesswoman knew about Yukiko because she often follows the news of high-class characters, such as members of wealthy families, royals, and royalty.
On the other hand, Shopia who spends her time at home also often follows the news as entertainment.
Although both of them are super-elite women, a princess from a distant land still holds great weight in their eyes.
"What is your purpose, princess?" asked Arthur.
Of course, he had a guess because there was no reason she came to this city except for one thing, the secret of the viral product.
Yukiko pressed her lips together at Arthur's question.
She looked embarrassed to answer.
If she had won, she might have been able to casually force Arthur or Shopia to hand over the secret of the agarwood, but she lost.
In this situation, her head was only thinking of one thing; (a way to leave without any losses!)
Arthur didn't expect her to answer, and seeing her expression indicating that she wanted to leave, he smiled.
"How about coming with me first, yeah, we happen to be releasing a new coffee, we can drink and chat," he told her.
"Besides, we're the same age, no need to be so uptight."
He seemed friendly, but Yukiko understood that he wanted to get information from her.
"You'd better be careful too," she said suddenly.
"I'm a princess, if anything happens to me, the Japanese government will ask the European government to rescue me. You will definitely be in big trouble, and will even be considered an evil terrorist."
At this point, she could only involve her country.
Her words did make sense because she was backed by a large country that was very strong economically.
For her, even Europe will do everything to save her.
"You don't seem to appreciate my good intentions," Arthur said, sighing softly.
"Good intentions? Hmph, you must just want to get an advantage over me," she replied, snorting softly.
"What if I capture you and all your troops, what can you do then? Who would report that something happened to you?" Arthur smiled.
"You think you can do it? You may be stronger, but I can hold you until they leave this city." Yukiko replied in a loud voice.
