Chapter 468: The Last Debt (1/2)

”It's useless talking to me if you're going to side with your father. Not that I'm blaming you, though.” Jin Rou said. Whatever Shale Prime decided to do would have nothing to do with him. He already had tried to warn her. It would be up to her if she took it to heart and listen.

”I didn't know you are this heartless.” The princess felt her vision was turning blurry. She didn't expect this kind of reality from Jin Rou, someone she was attracted to.

”I am always heartless towards my enemies, Shale Prime.” Jin Rou didn't mind what she said, ”And if you're going to be one of them, then I guess it can't be helped then.”

Jin Rou was clearly invoking that he would also be heartless even to her if she sided with her father. The only choice to maintain a good relationship with this man was to hide and stay away from her father, or watch him die in Jin Rou's hands.

But as a filial daughter of the emperor, how could she do that? Her pride couldn't take it. It was overbearing to an extreme amount of extent!

She walked away then, after thinking a bit about the situation.

Jin Rou also knew this. He knew that the princess had made up her mind and he couldn't do anything about it. He sighed in helplessness, perhaps it was just an ill-fated encounter with the princess in the past.

It was now the night of the next day. Jin Rou was walking towards the giant gate of the imperial palace as if he was just strolling in the park in relaxation. It was the day that he would collect the final debt from the Prime's tab and after this, it would be over.

”Boom!” Jin Rou punched the gate and it was blown away, crushing into tiny pieces of ore. That punch contained a thousand worlds, so it was heavy and powerful enough to carry the weight half of this universe.

Jin Rou kept on walking until he reached the front courtyard of the palace. It was so vast that it was three or four times larger than the courtyard of Tabler's. Then, there was a man with an aloof expression standing as if he was waiting for Jin Rou's arrival.

”So you are the killer behind my family's murders.” It was the emperor, of course. He felt an intense killing intent all of a sudden a while ago and knew right away that it was the killer of his wife and sons. Seeing the young man in front of him, he could feel that he wasn't to be underestimated.

”Correction, your sons fight each other to the death while I just provided assistance. But yes, I killed your empress.” Jin Rou said as if admitting it was very natural to him. He looked fearless and indifferent as if this was just a little charade for him.

He paused for a moment and resumed, ”Furthermore, I didn't expect that the mighty emperor will come and greet me personally. He even set so many elders to activate a formation so that I wouldn't be able to escape. That's fascinating.”

”Of course, you deserve such a grand welcoming.” The emperor laughed. He was raging inside but he could still keep it checked. It was a very attitude that an emperor should have, ”I want to ask you one thing before anything else. Why are you doing this?”

”Why am I doing this, you say?” Jin Rou grabbed a random throne from his space and sat down, crossing his legs, ”I wonder, if you are worthy enough to know it?”
