The Tale of the Void Emperor

Venzar looked coldly at Athan and his wild arrogance. Does he not know that even if they don't kill him in broad daylight, They can still beat him half dead? 

He let out his pressure of Zen order elite order base to suppress Athan and make him kneel.

Other representatives saw this, but they just looked coldly at Athan while Rukia had some hesitation on her face. Still, it only lasted for a second before she also turned silent and just looked on, ' When things turn bad, I'll save him and tell him the importance of joining a Hill faction and once again try to recruit him. Other representatives are already glum due to Athan's attitude hehehe, but that will just increase my chance of recruiting him. '

Athan felt a powerful pressure coming towards him as he smiled even more.

He walked backward a few steps before once again sitting on the sofa with a carefree expression on his face. It was as if the pressure directed towards him from Venzar did not affect him.

Other Representatives were shocked by this. Rukia was also surprised, but her brain's gear turned fast as she hurridly spoke, " Stop, stop! We are not here to fight. "

She stood up and walked towards Athan before speaking with a smile, " Athan, I don't know why you don't want to join any hill faction, but joining one is extremely important. You won't be able to progress smoothly and faster without a hill faction behind you. You also need teammates to go on adventures for missions and tasks, and you generally form teams from fellow hill faction members. "

Right after she finished speaking, Rezy also said in her usual chilly voice with an expressionless face, " Athan. There are certain things and places in which only a hill faction can go in. Consider joining a hill faction for your own benefit. There are many tense situations and scuffle with other organizations, so having a backing of a hill faction will make things easier for you, and you can move to many places without encountering much trouble. A Hill faction is like your family where they can help you in the times of need."

" That's right, Kid. The place you came from is different than here. We are on a giant floating continent called Midguard, and the place occupied by Chaos Monolith Hills in this continent is not even 1%. There are many organizations here that have a connection to Upper Chaosverse. This continent is separated from the lower Chaosverse in a way, and there are big towns where people of ancient organizations gather for business and other things. "

" You can say that arriving here means you have entered a new world. Here, You alone will be powerless to do many things and will encounter blocks one after another. So better join a hill faction behind one of us. "

Max felt the situation becoming tense as representatives spoke one after another.

" Stop, you all. Do you have any problem comprehending my words? Or, What I said can't simply pass through your thick skull and enter your brain? Huh? I clearly stated that...I-do-not-want-to-join-any-hill-faction. "

Athan had a face that had clearly written [ boring ] over it, and he stood up and interrupted them.

Looking at him speaking like that, All people's faces fell, and they were becoming increasingly discontent with Athan. Only those who are in the top 5 of the Newbie Leaderboard have the honor of getting invited by representatives of various Hill Faction. Seeing Athan's score and him breaking records one after another, They decided to recruit him. 

They had planned that each of them would describe their faction to Athan, and he could join the one with which he feels the most comfortable. 

But lo and behold, Here he was, Rejecting them from the get-go. At first, they thought that Athan was simply ignorant about the importance of Hill factions, but even after they told him about it, He still said that he wouldn't join any hill faction.

Rukia frowned and shook her head before speaking, " Why you don't want to join any faction? You already know the importance of it. "

Athan also shook his head with a smile as he looked at Rukia, " I'm sure there are many restrictions within a faction with rules and regulations, right? "

" Yes. But that's important to manag-"

" It doesn't matter if it's important or not. " Athan indifferent interrupted as he shook his head. Looking at the representatives, He formed a mischievous smile, " I am not comfortable within a place that has rules and regulations that are not set up by me. How about this? If you want me to join your Hill faction, then make me the leader, and I'll join. "

Hearing the absurd words of Athan, Everyone's lips twitched as they became furious.

At this time, They regretted choosing Wonder Hill Pavilion as a meeting place. If it was any other place, They could directly make a move on Athan physically and beat him up, but the current Master of this Wonder Hill Pavilion had put absolute restrictions that none of them were allowed to fight here and damage this exquisite pavilion.

At this moment, Max was nowhere to be seen as he had directly scurried away while thinking, ' What the hell is Athan thinking? Damn. He directly became the enemy of more than half of Hill factions here by saying such absurd things.

Sigh...Doesn't he know that every leader of a Hill faction is selected by careful consideration and popularity of the faction members? They are loved by many, and what he just said is a heavy insult to all hill factions. Damn...I better not get involved with him any further. '

...

" Sigh...Athan, You shouldn't have said something like that. " Rukia sighed.

Hearing that, Athan's eyes turned cold instantly as he spoke sharply, " Well then, I want to ask...Is that how you invite someone to your Hill faction? By mixing up threats within your words? The way you spoke was as if you were granting me a huge favor by inviting me to your hill factions. Heh...What a joke. 

Anyway, I already told you all that I don't want to join, so why are you insisting? Doesn't require a thousand years to understand what I said, right? It simply means I don't want to join any Hill faction. "

All other representatives turned silent, but they were still angry. On the other hand, Rukia became frustrated, " Then what are you going to do? You already know the impor-"

Athan interrupted her by saying something that caused everyone's eyes to turn wide before their expression changed dramatically.
