The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Sit down!" In a low but deep voice, Athan spoke, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done that long ago."

"Oh, and head Zangrel also didn't inform about anything that happened here to the main clan in upper-chaosverse," Athan said.

"What!!" 

This sentence visibly shook Juzald and Luzard. 

'Is he telling the truth? What the hell is going on?'

' I don't know. Head Zangrel indeed told us that he would inform the main clan about it and instructed us to stay inside and bid our time.'

Juzald and Luzard talked to each other with their soul sense while cautiously looking at Athan and Koinshi.

Athan saw that they were still cautious and had their defenses activated, so he decided to finish the matter early, "well, I was here to inform you about the truth. The reason head Zangrel didn't inform anything to upper-chaosverse is because I threatened him not to do it."

Hearing that, Zangeer was shocked while Luzard and Juzald gulped in nervousness. They wanted to take revenge, but they knew that they were still weak. Someone who can threaten head Zangren and keep him from doing something is definitely not someone they can mess with right now.

With a somewhat bored expression, Athan spoke, "At first, I was planning to kill you all and rob your clan, but I decided to have a change of plans just a week days ago."

"W-what are you planning to do with us?" Luzard spoke with a slight tremble.

Athan grinned and said, "Nothing, you are now free of worries about being killed, and you can also inform your main clan in upper-chaosverse about me. Anyway, It's destined that I will have tons of enemies in the upper-chaosverse."

Zangeer listened and became extremely speechless.

Luzard and Juzald looked at each other with suspicion and doubt before they looked at Athan.

Juzald had a gnawing question in his mind, which he asked solemnly, "Can you tell us why did you kill Munvald and Ruzald?"

Athan's eyes turned cold as he spoke icily, "Because that Munvald set his eyes on someone he shouldn't have. So, I killed him, and his father was out for revenge, so I also ended his suffering. If you two want to avenge your brother and nephew, then you can attack me right now."

"N-no..." Luzard shook his head repeatedly. 

They were still not strong enough to see through Athan, so they would be only courting death if they attack him right now, is what they felt.

"Let's go. We are done here," Athan said as he turned around and started walking out of the palace.

Luzard and Juzald watched their backs but didn't attack. They didn't have the guts to attack.

...

Inside Zangeer's ship, Athan first informed everything he did and said here to head Zangrel and Dean Lenix.

So if by chance some people from the main Gardues clan arrive here, which actually had a very low chance of happening according to head Zangrel, but if they arrived and asked Head Zangrel, he can say that Athan threatened him to set up this plan by planting a chaos curse in him.

Head Zangrel--, "alright, I understand. However, why the sudden change of plan? You could just finish them and be done with the matter."

Athan--, "nah. I needed a target after going to upper-chaosverse to start my plan, so I decided to make the main Gardues clan that target. I will tell you about it when the time comes."

Head Zangrel--, "fine. Anyway, if you want any aid or information, then inform me."

Athan--, "sure."

...

After seeing Athan putting the card away, Zangeer asked curiously, "what is your plan?"

Athan glanced at him and didn't answer, but instead, he asked, "what type of connection do you have in upper-chaosverse?"

Zangeer grinned and said, "my father is chaos king-realm powerhouse, my grandfather is chaos lord-realm powerhouse, and my great-grandfather is a chaos saint-realm powerhouse."

Athan was a bit speechless and asked, "what about mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother? Are they air?"

"Eh...," Zangeer was dumbfounded and then wryly smiled while shaking his head, "My great-grandmother is no more, but my father and grandfather have multiple wives, and their strength varies from evagon-realm to chaos king-realm. My mother is an evagon-realm powerhouse and is the current head of family here."

After saying that, He looked at Athan and said with a grin, "I said this much, so now it's your turn. Tell me about your family."

"No," Athan refused and asked, "Are you planning to come to Heaven's Tranquility? Because I am going there."

Zangeer was once again speechless at the refusal of Athan, but he didn't press on it and muttered, "Heaven's tranquility...," he nodded and said, "sure. It's been a while since I last went there. Hahaha, let's have some fun."

"Alright," Athan said before he closed his eyes with a wine glass in his hand, "Also, don't ask me anything until we reach Heaven's tranquility."

"Boring...," Zangeer muttered as he also picked up the glass of wine and drank some before he thought about something and took out a contact card.

...

After five days on the speedy ship of Zangeer, they arrived at Heaven's Tranquility.

After leaving the ship, Athan informed Lady Fu that he had arrived here and told her not to tell Tiana, Avelia, Sen, and others about his arrival yet.

"Yo Zangeer, you finally arrived."

Three women and two men approached Zangeer as he, Athan, and Koinshi left the ship and walked towards the entrance.

Athan looked at Zangeer because from their tone; it seems that Zangeer invited them here, and they were waiting for him. 

The five people who approached Zangeer also threw curious glances at Athan since currently, Athan had his mask on with his outfit covered by outlines of the void robe.

Feeling Athan's gaze, Zangeer turned to him with a grin and said, "Since we were going to Heaven's Tranquility, I decided to call my friends as well."

Athan nodded and didn't say anything as he started walking towards the entrance.
