Chapter 376: Us (2/2)
”Jerach, you stay here. I'll be going to another stone monument.”
”Uh…” Jerach didn't know how to respond. Before he could say anything, Leonel had already vanished into the distance.

Unfortunately for those who had come to learn more about the person who claimed the Dream Abode, they had run into a bit of a… sticky situation.
Just when they wanted to charge into the Eastern Sector, they found a white robed young man in their way.
The young man didn't say much. He simply stood there, his aura calm. Despite the fact there were several Kings before him, he didn't say a single word. It was as though these Kings really weren't worth much of anything to him.
The Kings froze when they saw such a scene.
”Anared, what do you mean by this?”
One of the Kings narrowed his eyes. Clearly, he recognized this white robes young man. In fact, if Leonel had been there, he too would recognize this young man as none other than Syl's elder brother.
”What do I mean?” Anared's expression remained placid. ”You're invading my Sector yet have the face to ask that?”
”Stop twisting the facts, Anared. You know exactly why we're here!”
”Oh? And I'm supposed to just allow you through to satisfy your own curiosity? And then what? There's only me here yet so many of you, I'm just supposed to take your word that you'll take a look and then leave? Do you take me for an ignorant fool?”
The expression of the Kings flickered.
Even if their main purpose here was to find out who owned the Dream Abode, there was no way that some of the more sinister among them hadn't thought of taking advantage of the situation.
After so many of them flooded into the Eastern Sector, how could they possibly defend against them all? There were bound to be numerous benefits.
At that same time, Anared's words spoke to something else.
Before, Leonel had asked Anared if there really were so many Emperors after seeing the state of the number of lit lampposts. Back then, Anared had simply answered that there was no restriction to the number of Abodes a single Emperor could claim.
But, what Leonel hadn't realized back then was that… there was only ever Anared. There were no other Emperors in the Eastern Sector but Leonel himself!
”Fine. They won't enter then. But what about us?”
At that moment, Anared's expressionless visage became a hint more serious.
The Emperor level characters had made themselves known.
