Chapter 244: The Guardian (2/2)
Then do some publicity in Southern Star…”
Sam gave all the information left and right and moved away.
He went into the divine dimension in the woods and said to Philip and Jack.
”I think this is the last chance you will get if you want to leave. This time, the shit is real. It wouldn't be as smooth sailing and this time a lot of other people other than authorities will also become our enemies, the history will write me down as the villain who tore down the empire into pieces and if you don't want to bear the guilt or weight on your shoulder, it is better to leave now.
I will drop you at the border of the empire, and you would be able to leave and escape, you can even join the thunder god temple.”
All he got in reply was silence. If you want to prepare, then go and train yourself. We are having tough days ahead and go train for sneaking and assassinations and escaping techniques.”
For these words though, both of them ran towards the second floor of the tower. Sam looked at Watt and said.
”Go and train. I have to go hardware mode.”
Meanwhile, in the imperial capital and the imperial palace.
A man whom Sam is familiar with just walked in. He is the person that Sam was warier the most in this life and a man who Sam didn't understand at all.
He entered the imperial palace as if it was his own home. He entered the imperial court and yelled.
”Emperor Orion, come out here.”
Emperor came out and looked at the man angrily.
”Vickers, how many times did I tell you? Don't call me like I am your servant. I am the emperor.”
Yes, this man is Vickers who is also the person who Sam met before.
The creepy middle-aged man who deduced that Sam has two elements with a glance. This man is the one whom Sam couldn't deduce.
”You can blabber about your fragile ego later. I am here to take about something else.” Vickers was pretty serious, unlike the time when he talked to Sam.
”What is it?”
”What is my promise for the empire?”
”Why are you asking that now?”
Vickers just stayed silent and the emperor continued.
”You will guard and save the empire in case of invasion to save the empire.”
”What is my role then?”
”Guardian of the Empire.”
”You do remember that I won't bother about the internal conflicts that your government and you create right?”
Emperor frowned at this and said.
”What do you mean by this?”
”Sam.”
”You know that guy?”
”Better than you think? Do you know what kind of person he is? Are you tired of your authority?”
”Do you think a little wimp can threaten my authority?”
”Authority? Your head will roll in a few months. Do you think he is some kind of little kid that you can throw your weight around? Now branding him as a terrorist? Are you out of your mind? If he really does defect to the enemy empire, the armies of yours wouldn't be much use at all.
Do you know, how he can train a battalion and won a city that your big ass armies couldn't even get?
If he trains their armies, what do you think happens?
And he killed a General a Nascent stage cultivator like a dog which died of rabies. Just because you are stronger than a Nascent, you think you can escape fate?
You might be stronger than a Nascent, for him, a Nascent or a Transcendent doesn't differ much since the power difference is too vast.
He can think of a way to kill a Nascent, he can think of a way to kill a transcendent. It doesn't matter. If you don't try to make a truce with him, you don't come running towards me. I wouldn't care and by the way. The indigo sea and all the coastline is compromised.
There is a transcendent level Porpoise along with more than ten Pre-transcendent level Porpoises occupying the whole coastline. Good luck dealing with that.”
