Novel Full Chapter 681 - Dominance
The Blood Empress was angered. However, she didn't show it in her expression. Right now, she was still wearing a calm one like she wasn't perturbed of the other party's words, "Unfortunately, I don't think I can give Athena to you. She is a part of our Nobleblood Imperial Family and we currently need her assistance."
It was true. Now that Bloodflaw and his legacy were nowhere to be seen, all they could do was rely on Athena's protection for the meantime. After all, the coffin treasure was a very powerful one even though it had no user.
And now, Jin Rou wanted to have it? Wasn't it too much for the empire to take?
"Blood Empress, I told you I'm not here to request it. I am here to demand it, and I must have it if you still want to see this dear empire remain standing." Jin Rou smirked and tapped his fingers on the table, "You see, Empress, I have so many reasons to exterminate your family and this empire but I am giving you a leeway to survive, yet you are failing to appreciate it. This empire is good as doom in your hands."
"You..." Blood Empress almost lost control. She lost the verbal fight with Jin Rou because she didn't know what to rebuke.
What Jin Rou said actually hit the spots. Even if Jin Rou destroy this empire now, the Nobleblood Imperial Family had no choice but to watch it crumble down and became history, of course their family included.
They lost so many protectors. The Universal Law and Dao Supremes died, and even their strongest legion wasn't spared. It was spelling doom and catastrophe for the Blood Ancient Empire now that many predators and enemies were eyeing them.
Currently, the empire was very unstable so if another empire dare to attack right now, they had no choice but to run away for their lives.
"My patience is limited, Blood Empress." Jin Rou said in a cold tone. There was no room for negotiation and he would do anything to get Athena.
"Let's say I'm willing to give Athena to you, but I don't think Athena herself will like it. This is her home after all." Blood Empress spoke with confidence. They nurtured and took care of the coffin treasure like she was an ancestor so she wouldn't dare to betray them. Or at least, that's what the empress thought.
"The decision isn't up to her but to me." Jin Rou smirked, "But I'm very sure that she will come with me no less."
Blood Empress took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll bring Athena here for her to decide."
The empress had no choice since Jin Rou wasn't giving her face. All she could hope for now that Athena wasn't ingrate to abandon who fed her.
"Let's do it, then." Jin Rou agreed.
After a few minutes, a figure appeared along with a maid. She was a girl with a look of a - 15 years old. She had a cold temperament as she walked down with her black hair fluttering by her motions. She looked like a dignified princess that came from a prestigious royal family with airs of arrogance.
"Sister, why have you called me here?" The girl in blue dress asked. She glanced at Jin Rou and Emperor Randies but didn't bother to greet them.
"Athena, these friends have something to say to you so I called you here." Blood Empress smiled.
"What possibly might it be?" Athena looked at Jin Rou again and asked. She was still standing while looking at him who's sitting down.
"Miss Athena, why don't you sit first and we'll talk?" Jin Rou gave a bright a smile. His handsomeness had multiplied by thousand times because of this. He was already so handsome that not it'd be hard to find a man as handsome as him here in this world.
Athena wasn't affected by his handsomeness. She had lived for hundred billions of years now so she had seen so many beautiful men in the past and it could no longer affect her, "Just tell me what you want to talk about."
"It seems I have not made myself clear." Jin Rou was still smiling, but the smile was different now. It was emitting coldness and arrogance which could make people shudder in fear, "I said you sit down so that we can talk. Or will your prefer me forcing you?"
Athena was surprised and revealed it from her expression. This man had just threatened her, a legendary coffin treasure! But for some reason, her instincts were telling her to just follow the order. After a few seconds of deliberation, she finally sat down while gritting her teeth.
"Now it's better." Jin Rou laughs softly, "I will get straight to the point. You have to come with me and that's an order, there will be no room for negotiation."
Athena was infuriated by the other party's attitude, "Who do you think you are? You want to take me? No, this is where I belong and I'm happy staying here."
"Miss Athena, you have no right to discuss it with me. My words, my rules." Jin Rou's voice was getting colder. The temperature of the room was dropping several times, "This empire is good as dead now. Many powerhouses are already eyeing it and no one can save it unless other empires help it. What's the use of staying in an empire which spells doom for the coming days?"
Athena felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her. She looked at the empress and said, "Sister, did we lose the battle?"
Blood Empress felt like it was so difficult to answer this. She sighed and nodded her head, "Yes, we have lost. The other two empires have lost and this is because of that young man in front of us."
Athena was speechless. She didn't know what to say in all honesty. Her arrogance could no longer be found as she looked at Jin Rou like a monster, "Did you kill the three laws?"
"Who knows?" Jin Rou didn't answer the question, "Maybe I did, maybe I did not."
