Armipotent

Hemlin breathed out in relief as he entered the room with Forlan. Those stubborn knights might destroy the capital of the Carlisto Kingdom if they swung their swords at Tang Shaoyang. Thanks to Rowlan's timely interference.

The King of the Carlisto Kingdom took a seat next to Forlan, and Hemlin guided Tang Shaoyang to sit on the opposite side. Hemlin thought of sitting on the single seat on the side. But his relationship with Tang Shaoyang was too awkward. He did not know if that might offend this Emperor hence he just stood.

"What are you doing now, Hemlin?" Forlan immediately noticed the strangeness in his friend, "Why don't you take a seat and introduce your friends to us?"

Forlan and Hemlin were on the opposite side. The man had long blond hair, reaching his shoulder, exuding the aura of the elegant noble, graceful, and poise. His eyes never left Tang Shaoyang ever since they entered the room. Clearly, he wanted to know who the man Hemlin brought to meet him. Meanwhile, King Emerson had been staring at Avyn since their first meeting. It seemed he was charmed by the beauty. King Emerson had tanned skin and short curly hair. The aura he exuded was different from Forlan's, wild and carefree while maintaining a big smile. One could tell that the King of the Carlisto Kingdom's hand was not free from blood. The King fought with his soldiers on the frontline and killed many. That was how he obtained such an aura.

Tang Shaoyang also furrowed his brow, starting to get impatient. He glanced at Hemlin, signaling to him to get it done quickly.

Hemlin scratched his forehead, looking at King Emerson, "I don't think I can say it in front of King Emerson, Forlan. The thing I want to talk about is restricted to the Adventurer Guild. The future of the Adventurer Guild."

Only then Forlan turned toward his friend, looking confused, "What do you mean by the future of the Adventurer Guild? You haven't told me anything before. Are you hiding something from me?"

Hemlin rolled his eyes, "I am not hiding anything from you. It just happened today, and I immediately came to inform me. Respectfully, I don't think we can include King Emerson in the meeting."

King Emerson was surprised. Even though he was a King, he was nowhere near to these two prominent figures from the Adventurer Guild. These two could easily destroy his kingdom. However, they were also friends, so he was surprised that Hemlin asked him to get out. It was not something he could refuse if Hemlin told him to his face.

King Emerson got up, "Alright. I will leave, but before that. Can you introduce this beauty to me, Hem—" Before he finished his words, Hemlin appeared in front of Emerson with a strong gush that caused the curtain to fly up. He covered King Emerson's mouth, "NO! NO! NO! Not this one Emerson!" Hemlin no longer addressed Emerson with King, "You already have thirteen beauties in your castle. Be satisfied with it."

Emerson was surprised by the intense reaction, but then he pushed the hand and smiled, "Jeez, what's with the reaction, Hemlin? You can just tell me she is yo—" Hemlin immediately covered Emerson's mouth once more, "Please stop talking and leave. Unless you want to destroy your kingdom, then I will not stop you again."

That was when Emerson's expression, and he no longer restrained his wild, blood lust aura, "You might be stronger than me, Hemlin. But I will throw my body and my soldier's bodies to kill you. I am not afraid of you, Hemlin!"

"What is this, Hemlin? What's wrong with you today?" Forlan could not help but interfere before the two really fought.

"Idiot!" Hemlin cursed out, "Why would I want to destroy your kingdom? I am saving your ass here." He massaged the space between his eyes and pushed Emerson back to the seat. He motioned Forlan to sit as well. Since it had become like this, he could no longer exclude King Emerson. The reason he wanted to exclude King Emerson was to save him from this troublesome net.

Forlan seemed to catch up with what happened. The auraless lady was not just an ordinary lady if she could scare Hemlin in this case. He said nothing and returned to his seat.

"I have joined the Tang Empire right now, and I serve him, The Emperor of the Tang Empire," Before Emerson crossed the line, Hemlin introduced Tang Shaoyang, "She is with him, and she is not just an ordinary lady even though you can't feel her aura. She is a dragon."

Forlan squinted his eyes, staring straight at his friend. Everything was connected now. Why Hemlin asked about The Tang Empire earlier. That meant this Emperor was most likely the person who caused trouble in the Arkania Continent. An Emperor from an unknown nation and a dragon. That explained why Hemlin reacted like that. A dragon could really obliterate The Carlisto Kingdom, but that was not easy to achieve.

But the thing he could not understand was why Hemlin submitted to them? He believed that Hemlin could easily escape from any God Rank, even a dragon. So how these two could force Hemlin to submit?

"Please watch your manners, Emerson."

"So this is what you mean by the future of The Adventurer Guild? Are you going to leave the guild and leave me alone to fight those seven pricks?" Forlan's elegant tone turned cold, realizing that his friend betrayed him.

Hemlin waved his hand at his friend, "Nope, I am not leaving the Adventurer Guild. But I will bring Adventurer Guild to be part of the Tang Empire. I am here to convince you to join with me to serve the Tang Empire. His Majesty promised the Adventurer Guild would continue the activity as usual. There was no—"

Forlan raised his hand, stopping his friend from finishing those useless conditions, "You know those conditions are not enough to convince me, Hemlin!"

Hemlin shrugged, "I know. Can you just let me finish it? Alright…. Alright…. First, It's no longer seven pricks if you are worried about them. It's now four pricks. His Majesty killed three of them in the Arkania Continent."
