The Tale of the Void Emperor

The new person was a lady wearing a hazy blue dress with long sleeves and deep blue hair. She looked gorgeous with slightly peach-colored skin and waterfall hair that reached her bottom.

Nacy and the other servant bowed and said, "Vice head Elkairen."

"Be at ease," Elk said before she looked at Lenek and Lady Fu, "I received Melker's call. So? what's going on here?"

Hearing the name, some sweat appeared on Lenek's face as Melker was his Lord father's name.

On the other hand, Athan looked at Elk and said, his voice filled with disappointment, "Why is this facility so poor? Can anyone enter into other's people's pavilion zone whenever they want? It's just our first day here, and I am already disappointed."

Lady Fu and others looked at Athan and sweated internally.

'What kind of balls does he have?' Lenek thought, speechless.

Elk looked at Athan with raised eyebrows, 'He is giving of orderic catastrophe aura...but I can't see through him. Strange...'

"We will compensate for this trouble and disturbance. Only our staff can enter through the bubble as only they possess the keys and-"

"Enough. Let's just finish whatever matter you and this guy have here so we can continue with our rest," Athan spoke as he crossed his arms with an annoyed expression.

Elk indifferently nodded and was surprised as well, 'Strange young man.'

She then turned to Lenek and then at the servant beside him, "Did you see them entering here?"

The servant trembled as he nodded, "I-i definitely saw them...standing in front of the bubble and disappearing."

Lenek glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Wait for a second. Can you tell me why you are here in the first place?" Athan questioned with a frown before continuing, "You are saying that...some people,"-Athan glanced at Lenek-," related to him, entered here and died?"

Lenek gritted his teeth as he spoke with a grimace, "That's right."

Hearing that, Athan looked at Elk, "Is he a customer here or a staff?"

"Customer." 

Hearing that, Athan sneered at Elk and said, "So you are saying that people other than your staff members entered here,"-Athan pointed at the male staff-," While that person who is a staff member watched them?"

Elk frowned hearing that because Athan caught their tail quite quickly.

"Why did they enter here in the first place? On top of that, you are even saying that they died here? Are you all nuts?" Athan spoke with an exasperated look on his face.

"What happened, Athan? What's the commotion?" Avelia spoke as she and others walked towards them.

Even Sen, Arcued, and others also arrived here.

Seeing them, Athan looked at Elk as his face turned grim, "Great. My friends were exhausted and were resting, but thanks to you all, they are disturbed now."

"We will compensate you for all the trouble after this matter is resolved," Elk spoke indifferently.

Even Leken was not willing to believe that Nelker and Zelker died here. They had his Lord father's protective necklace, and the strongest here was Lady Fu, who can't even scratch the protection, let alone break it and kill his brothers.

'Since they are saying that they didn't see Nelker or Zelker, then the only choice is for them to swear an oath regarding that. But that brat will not let us do that easily, how annoying.'

Lenek was going to bring this matter up, but before he could do that, what Athan said next shocked him.

"I know a quick and easy way to resolve this method, and you will have to compensate for all this trouble after that," Athan then looked at Tiana and others before saying, " You all, did you see anyone other than us entering here?"

Tiana, Sen, and others were confused as they shook their head, "Of course not. Did something happen?"

Athan smiled at them as he shook his head, "Nope. Just a bunch of idiots coming here to accuse us of a stupid thing,"-Athan glanced at Elk-," What most luxurious are in this Midgard continent? The staff here is an absolute joke.

"Anyway,"-Athan looked at Tiana and others-," Just swear a chaos oath that you didn't see or kill any strangers entering here aside from these people in front you."

"Humph, so apparently...Someone trespassed here themselves, dropped dead, and on top of that, we have to swear an oath that we didn't see them or kill them?" Avelia snorted as she spoke with disgust.

Athan wryl smiled, "Yeah, I heard good things about this place, but..." He didn't continue as he just shook his head.

Elk knew that they were at fault, so she sucked it up as that was the absolute rule of this place. Customers can fight or kill, but staff members here must not do anything that ruins the reputation.

'How did those two die? It doesn't look like they are lying. But according to Melker, those two indeed died. Hmmm...All these times, those two bastards got away because of Melker's connections, and he covered their asses by compensating because of his overwhelming wealth and strength, but this time...someone just killed them. Who would do such a thing? To be able to break Melker's protective necklaces...'

At this time, Tiana and others finished taking the oath as the dark chaotic clouds appeared and disappeared.

Lady Fu and Nacy also did the same.

After that, Athan looked at Lenek with an annoyed expression and took an oath as well.

But before taking the oath, he transformed his soul into a white gold soul that general people possess.

And right after taking the oath, he turned his soul back to its normal state of a black body with a white border and exquisite white patterns in the soul body.

This way, he fooled the lower-Chaosverse's oath order system.

"Are you done now? If so, then get out so we can continue with our peaceful rest here," Athan said as he waved his hand as if shooing them away.

Lenek took a deep breath as he nodded and spoke indifferently, "Alright. Thanks for the proof."

After saying that, He turned to the servant said, "Bring me to all the places they've been since arriving here."

Elk nodded and turned to Athan and others before saying, " We will compen-"

"We will talk about it later. For now, get out from here so we can have some rest," Athan uttered before he turned to Sen and others, "Let's go back."

Everyone turned back as they started walking back, but Athan turned to Elk and said with a smile, "Did you think I was acting arrogant despite being a puny chaos warrior?"

Lady Fu and Nacy looked at Athan with speechless expressions before looking at Elk.

Elk shook her head indifferently and said, "Your strength doesn't matter as long as you are a customer. You paid for the service here, and what you said was reasonable and logical."

Pausing there, her expression changed for the first time as a faint smile appeared on her face, "It's just...it's good to be respectful to elders."

"Hahaha....If you want my respect, then you have to earn it," Athan laughed before grinning," And so far, you failed to achieve that with this shitty service. Now it remains to see how broadminded you are with the compensation."

After Athan and others went away, Lady Fu smiled wryly and said to Elk, "I am sorry, Miss Elk. Athan's nature is like that."

"It's fine. After all, He might have sounded arrogant because of his puny strength, but what he said was reasonable and logical as a customer," Elk said as she looked at Athan's back, "If he was at Evagon-stage then would you think that he sounded arrogant?"

Lady Fu and Nacy looked at each other before shaking their heads.

"Well, then there you go. Other people at his level would instinctively not speak that way because they know that they are weak. But it seems that this person has supreme confidence in himself, and he also knows what to say."

Nacy smiled and said, "Elder Elk, That person is none other than Athan, who was in recent Sun-Moon News."

"Oh?" Elk looked at Lady Fu, who nodded, and in response, she chuckled, "So he is the one. Lady Fu, do you that so-called voidling-zoids?"

Lady Fu nodded as she took out four thumb-sized balls.

"Did you check if they can handle and house Evagon-level powers?" Elk asked with curiosity.

"I haven't checked yet." Lady Fu shook her head as he threw one ball towards Elk, "Take this one and check it. I can't separate from them since Dean Lenix has entrusted their safety to me."

Elk took the ball and nodded, "Alright. It's twenty-thousand-"

"It's fine. You have helped me before and these twenty-thousand chaos stones are nothing compared to that."

Afterward, Elk left while Nacy and Lady Fu returned to the pavilion.

Naturally, Lady Fu got Athan's sound transmission to give Elk one of the voidling-zoids for free and that's why she gave it.. She also hadn't soul bound the voidling-zoids yet so Athan didn't need to pass one to her.
