Chapter 472 - Heartless
"You're heartless." The princess was starting to hate Jin Rou deep, "You are a demon! A demon!"
Jin Rou smiled from hearing these words, "So what if I am? Can you do something about it? If you have the capability, stop me then."
The princess was about to say something again when the hidden elders appeared and surrounded her. The first elder tapped her on her shoulder and said with seriousness, "Your Highness, please listen to me. We will teleport you to a random place. We don't know where, but we will make sure that this man can't find you there. Please take your youngest brother too and live there lowkey."
"What are you saying, First Elder?" The princess said with determination, "I am going to fight with you all! And if I'm going to flee, you must come with me."
"It's impossible." The first elder shook his head, "You heard him right? He still need to kill us in order to be satisfied. So please, do us a favor and run away. Your father is right, if you die here too, the future of our family will remain as is, at the bottom of the food chain."
The first elder wanted to slap the princess for the first time of his life. She was thinking more of her pride and dignity as the princess of the once strongest family. As the princess and the now empress, she should think of the bigger picture. After all, it was already too late to redo things. The enemy has already killed so many of them, and they were the core people too.
The princess wanted to deny it again but the first elder was getting impatient. He sealed the princess' movements and controlled the space to get the sleeping third prince. He then held the two and chanted, "Activate!"
It was teleportation arts. The duo had disappeared so fast that you wouldn't expect that they were there in the first place. The princess didn't have time to say anything as everything happened too fast.
The first elder was praying for their safety. He didn't know what kind of place they would be teleported to, but at least it would be much safer than here. And at least again, their chances of reviving in the future would be a bit higher.
"I was about to kill her with her nonsense blabbing. You made the right choice there." Jin Rou praised. He almost killed the princess with a supposed unseen attack. Fortunately, the first elder stepped in and do something about it.
In all actuality, Jin Rou didn't want to kill the princess. But if she's going to be hard headed and didn't know what to do, then Jin Rou had no choice but to kill her. Although letting her live might bring future trouble for Jin Rou, he wasn't still willing to kill her if it's possible.
"Why are you doing this?" The first elder wanted to ask this and wanted a real answer, "If you want revenge, killing the empress, the emperor, and even their future successors is already more than enough. I don't know why there is a need for you to kill us."
"Why, are you pleading for your lives?" Jin Rou smiled and summoned a throne and sat there.
"Why would we plead for our lives? It's just that it's not making sense at all." The first elder said, "You are pushing our family too far towards the edge. And I don't know what would it benefit you. With your power level, overthrowing our family will not be enough to satisfy you."
"I already said that I am here for revenge. What are you saying?" Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh, "Do you remember when you had a meeting about controlling the devils to invade other universes? You want to expand your power by eradicating some celestial families."
The first elder recalled it. And after connecting some dots, his eyes widened and said, "You... Are you from the Rou family?"
This was the first ever strategic plan to expand the Prime family's power. They had meticulously planned it for millions of years and prepared the enormous resources needed to take the first expedition. However, it was a total failure and there was only one casualty on the enemy's side while they suffered tremendous losses.
"That's right." Jin Rou smirked and said, "You gave my family too much trouble though we have stayed loyal and friendly towards you. But what did we get? Betrayal. A mother of a special someone for me was also killed in the process. You hurt my family. Isn't that enough for you to face deaths?!"
The elders were shaken by that deep voice which was filled with hatred. They didn't know why but they could feel their bones turning jelly and almost fell down butt first.
"Let's end this. It's a waste of time." Jin Rou moved his fingers and controlled the time and space. Then, the elders' bodies were ripped into pieces as if a beast did it. It happened in just a split second. So, the elders couldn't react and immediately died.
"With this, my revenge is over." Jin Rou could smell the strong smell of blood. The scene was bloody and gory also to the point that everyone might vomit from the scene. He then looked up into the sky and said, "The battle is over, as you have witnessed. You can now do the rest and take over."
The sky moved after hearing this. Ryzer Tabler appeared and knelt in front of Jin Rou, "The Tabler Clan and I shall give ourselves to you for this precious gift. One call and we will be glad to sacrifice our lives for you."
Ryzer Tabler had seen everything. From the start until now, and all he could say that he greatly underestimated the capabilities of this man. In his heart, following this man would be the greatest honor he could have and the best choice he made in his entire life. For sure, the clan is going to prosper now and then.
"I will leave the matters to you. I don't think you need me to stabilize your position as you have enough power to defend and attack." Jin Rou said, "So I'll be leaving first. I'll come by if I need something."
With those words, Jin Rou immediately departed without waiting for a response.
