Chapter 81: Trying To Sow Discord
Hearing that jeering remark, Logan sighed while all the other emperors had turned their attention to over their conversation.
'Does this bastard even have a life?' Logan thought.
"And what does that have to do with you?" Emperor Ashton asked in displeasure. He had enough of Emperor Tritor's bullshit these few days, which were filled with cynical remarks.
"It has nothing to do with me, but it sure looks like that it has everything do to with you!" Emperor Tritor sneered.
"What do you mean?" Emperor Ashton's voice turned solemn as he narrowed his eyes.
"Isn't it obvious? That lowly servant is in the 5th position. Looks like he is entirely seduced by his maid that he doesn't even have the time to hunt his own beasts. He might be stronger but still doesn't have the brain to control his desire!"
"And what does that have to do with me?" Emperor Aston asked again with a sneering tone.
"I heard that you gifted one of your daughters to him. So I guess that makes her status even lower than a maid! Jejeje." Emperor Tritor laughed in a mocking tone.
Shirley who heard that couldn't help but frown in displeasure.
"You!" Emperor Ashton almost lashed out when...
"Hey! Don't blame me, besides you were the one who had asked what that has to do with you. If you're going to blame, you might as well as blame the Loret Emperor." Emperor Tritor sneered.
Emperor Ashton harrumphed in displeasure and looked at Logan for an answer, but he didn't ask anything as just stared at him.
Logan stayed silent and calm as if hadn't got anything to do with this situation.
A few moments passed silently, while everyone looked at Logan for an answer.
As the expected answer wasn't heard, Emperor Tritor sneered while Emperor Ashton ran out of patience as he asked, "What do you have to say? Emperor Loret."
"Nothing" Logan uttered calmly as he slowly looked at Emperor Ashton. He then continued, "I have nothing to say to you or that old fox. The decisions my son take aren't decided by me. If you have any problem with it, go ask him yourself. And if you feel that this isn't fair, then by all means, please feel free to take back your daughter. We wouldn't say a word about it."
'He has full control over his actions?' Emperor Ashton, as well as all the emperors and the geniuses, were taken aback as they thought.
But Emperor Ashton's expression quickly changed which made him believe the hypothesis he had made earlier.
"Haha, I know. In fact, we all know that Emperor Tritor wants to see the world burn. I was just asking for fun." Emperor Ashton suddenly laughed as he cleared away the tension.
Logan was astonished, he had no idea why this greedy fox would suddenly decide to placate the situation.
"Tch!" Emperor Tritor clicked his tongue as they got out of the flow he created. But he still wouldn't back down just because of a failure.
He looked below and said, "Princess Shirley Ashton, I feel very sorry for you. Even if you married Davis as his first wife, your real status will always that of a concubine if this keeps on."
"You!" Emperor Ashton suddenly flared as his aura spread out.
Shirley's face went pale as she was publically humiliated. She had no way to berate an emperor even if her temper was ten times greater.
Not everyone is like Davis. All of them understood their own status and position as well as their rightful place.
Who is Emperor Tritor? He is the one who stands above all in the Tritor Empire! He is one of the seven powerful beings in the Grand Sea Continent!
Even if she had ten times the guts, she wouldn't really rebuke him.
Emperor Tritor didn't pay any heed to Emperor Ashton as he continued, "Alright, leave the maid. I heard that Prince Davis has another fiancee who belongs to the Cauldon family. Jeje, even if the maid isn't there in the picture, you still are fated to be a concubine!"
Shirley's went face even paler. She held her fists tightly as she violently murdered Emperor Tritor in her mind. Hunger filled her soul as she could feel the desire for more power.
Just before Emperor Ashton could shout out, Emperor Ruth stepped out and said overbearingly.
"Emperor Tritor! You have gone too far! Publically humiliating a pure maiden is not something an Emperor should do! You would do well to refrain from using such words from now on!"
Emperor Tritor narrowed his eyes. Seeing that there were three emperors ready to fight out with him, he looked at Emperor Raven only to see him eating delicacies while having a beaming face as if enjoying the show.
He then snorted and stayed silent as the odds were against him. He wasn't that stupid as he knew when to back out.
After a few moments of silence, the tension subsided.
Emperor Ashton sent a Soul Transmission to Shirley as he consoled her.
Shirley's face regained colour bit by bit as she was consoled by her father.
Then she suddenly realised something as her face exploded in fury, 'It's all because of that brat and his maid. If it weren't for the two of them, I wouldn't have been humiliated to this degree!'
Since she couldn't focus her hatred on Emperor Tritor, her mind subconsciously directed her hatred on to the two, who were the reason for her humiliation.
Later, she then calmed down as her reason returned and felt that it was a little childish of her to focus her hatred on the two of them.
But still, as a woman, she felt hatred against that maid who would possibly steal her future husband from her.
'A lowly maid thinks of stealing my fiancee? She must be dreaming!'
She then relaxed and returned to her haughty personality.
Suddenly, waves of clamour erupted around the arena as the audience viewed a single projection which contained a kid confronting a single beast.
"This... this... What is he doing!?" Shirley suddenly stood up as she shouted incredulously. She couldn't believe her eyes and couldn't help but worry about him. She had already started liking his personality when he confronted Emperor Tritor earlier.
"Hahaha! Challenging a Peak-Grade Sky Grade Beast? Your son is very brave, Loret Emperor!" Emperor Claymore laughed in satisfaction as he looked at the projection.
Some laughed while some nodded their heads, though everyone thought that it was a last minute attempt by Davis to gain some points to increase his ranking to the Top 1000.
