The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

"What kind of power was that? It didn't exude any kind of...readings. It was silent and silently consumed that person," Kronel muttered as he was sitting amidst the clouds with a dilemma.

Since Elk told him to observe Athan himself if he didn't believe in her words, he went to the pub incognito and observed Athan as well.

He was indeed shocked at the soul power of Athan but even more so at that black ethereal flame-like power which felt very strange to him.

"Damn! How can he have such soul power when he is just a zen order elite?"

...

Another half a day passed as Athan was still waiting for the killers to appear.

But who will tell him that he scared them away already?

The assassins were scared off, and Kronel also erased thoughts of needlessly antagonizing Athan just for the sake of testing him.

However, Zakus got the contact from Feigan's father after half a day, and he was looking at Zangeer and others with a hesitant expression, "what should I do now? Should I pick up the contact and tell him the truth?"

Zangeer and others looked at each other as they also didn't know how to proceed further.

Zangeer thought for a few moments and said, "Zakus, you talk with Feigan's father while I talk with Athan about this matter."

Zakus nodded as he accepted the contact and started talking to him while Zangeer went towards Athan and sat on the stool beside him.

"Ahem...Athan. That Feigan has a family, and his father is a high-grade Evagon-realm powerhouse. We Ju-"

"Tell him that if he wants revenge, then I'll send two peak Evagon-realm powerhouses to erase his whole family. If you want them to die, you can keep them in the dark. But if you want them to live, then convince them in your way. The choice is yours," Athan said without opening his eyes.

Zangeer was speechless but nodded as he stood up and went towards Zakus, 'Well, Feigan was the eldest son but not the only son. If he cares for his family, then I should be able to convince him.'

Zangeer couldn't care less about other people here except for Sahara. They were only friends in the name. They were not like...die for each other type friends.

He took a contact card from Zakus and started talking with Feigan's father.

...

Melker was waiting for news of the assassination attempt. Frankly thinking, he felt that it wouldn't succeed because he didn't think that Mr. Horeinsen was bull shitting. But he still wanted to try.

"It's been a day now. They should have started their assassination already," Melker muttered.

He continued to wait, but after three hours, he saw Judas appearing with a weak smile on his face, "we failed."

"Oh...well, I was not expecting to succeed in the first place," Melker said as he nodded.

"That's not how we failed," Judas said with a sigh, "the pawn I used to put up this task died as well, and from the information, he was killed by dark daggers for providing false information."

"Hmm?" Melker raised his eyebrows in surprise, "what false information?"

"That Athan...he actually possesses soul power that's at the peak of Evagon-realm or...possibly higher," Judas said with a wry smile, "what do we do now?"

Melker closed his eyes for a few minutes before he spoke coldly, "issue another task about killing all of his companions. Also, prepare to go to upper-chaosverse right after issuing that task. I suddenly feel uneasy staying here."

*BANGG!*

A loud bang resounded as Melker and Judas were startled.

Melker hurriedly stood up before a person arrived in the hall and said with panic, "we are under attack!"

"Who is attacking us?" Judas questioned with a frown.

"Its...It's the Ursh'in clan. They brought two of their battleships and are fully intending to destroy us entirely."

Melker's heart turned cold while Judas was also shocked, "why are they attacki-"

Judas didn't finish speaking as he already knew why. He had seen that mirage crystal, so he knew that the entire Ursh'in clan should be under Athan's command.

However, they didn't expect that Athan would openly dare to attack them like that. Something like this hasn't happened here in a very long time.

"Master Melker, what do we do now?" Judas spoke as he was also panicking now.

Melker thought for a few moments before he sighed and said, "one must learn to retreat and bid for the right time. Tell everyone to escape in their own way or surrender."

"What about us?" Judas hurridly asked.

"You, Galio, and Forb are coming with me to upper-chaosverse. It's time we settle down there with our business," Melker said before his eyes turned cold, and he continued icily, "there will surely come a day when I can let that Athan feel the same pain as I felt and take revenge. "

...

Athan had left the pub two hours ago and was enjoying his time with Tiana because Elk told him that the people who came to kill him left Heaven's Tranquility.

The staff was also keeping an eye on them, so Elk later found out that those three assassins entered the pub as well before Athan killed Feigan.

After leaving the pub, Athan commanded Zorgia to go and destroy Melker's place and kill him possible.

Athan was too lazy to go there personally as he wanted to enjoy himself with others for the next two months before resuming their intense training in the special-grade chaos phenom dimension.

If these enemies he left alive here proved to be some trouble later, he would feel that it was worth it to let them live. That's why he also spared the Gardues clan.

...

"So is it my turn now, eh?" Tiana said with a smile as she sat on Athan's lap as both of them were taking a bath in the hot spring.

Athan smiled as he knew guessed why Avelia and Sen had disappeared.

"Since I am last, then you will have to spend more time with me," Tiana said with a pout.

"Hahaha.. As you wish, your highness."
