Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Within the grand hall of the Holy Crest Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Solon stood in the center of the hall, his figure tall and straight, his gaze steady and resolute.

He first surveyed the Emperor and the assembled ministers, then slowly began to speak, recounting the words of Empress Maria and the Empress Dowager in their entirety.

As he spoke, the hall became increasingly quiet, with only Solon's clear and powerful voice echoing.

The ministers initially wore expressions of slight doubt, but as they heard about the potential breakthrough potion,

the underground labyrinth, and the many complex and secretive circumstances surrounding the powerful beings from the higher plane, solemnity spread across their faces.

Some frowned deeply, seemingly struggling to digest the vast and astonishing amount of information, while others exchanged glances, tacitly conveying their inner surprise and concern.

Emperor Gustav sat upon the dragon throne, his expression stern, yet unable to conceal a hint of shock in his eyes.

He listened quietly to Solon's account, his hands unconsciously gripping the armrests of the dragon throne, contemplating the various interests involved and the impact on the empire's future.

When Solon finished speaking, the Emperor remained silent for a moment, the heavy atmosphere seemingly thinning the air in the entire hall.

Finally, the Emperor slowly spoke, his voice deep but with an undeniable authority: "Solon, what you have said is of great importance.

The acquisition of this potential breakthrough potion is so difficult, and the underground labyrinth conceals the intricate conflicts of interest of powerful beings from the higher plane.

If you hadn't revealed this today, I would still be in the dark."

Solon hurriedly bowed, respectfully replying: "Father Emperor, I am deeply aware of the importance of this matter,

and dare not conceal anything, which is why I have truthfully reported it.

I hope that Father Emperor and the ministers can deliberate on countermeasures to ensure the stability of our empire and seek more opportunities for development."

A minister named Neumann stepped forward, stroked his beard, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed thorny.

Those powerful beings from the higher plane are unfathomable in strength.

We have had very little contact with them in the past.

Now, if we want to obtain resources from this underground labyrinth, we fear angering them and inviting disaster.

But if we give up this great opportunity and watch as amethyst and other precious items cannot be used by us, it is truly a pity."

The other ministers echoed his sentiments, discussing the matter animatedly.

Some suggested secretly sending people to investigate the surrounding area of the underground labyrinth to understand the details of those managing families.

Others argued that they should first try to establish contact with the powerful beings from the higher plane to see if they could negotiate some cooperative opportunities, even if it meant making minimal concessions.

For a time, the hall was filled with debate, various ideas and suggestions intertwined, while Emperor Gustav sank into deeper thought.

"Have you heard? The underground labyrinth actually has managing families, and their strength is terrifying.

There are two Saint-level experts and a dozen Half-Saints! This is simply beyond imagination!" said a noblewoman wearing a gorgeous silk dress, her eyes wide.

"Indeed, we always thought of the underground labyrinth as a mysterious and dangerous place, but we never imagined that such complex forces were controlling it behind the scenes.

I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for our empire," another noblewoman echoed worriedly, fanning herself incessantly, but unable to conceal the panic in her heart.

In the studies of the noble lords, the atmosphere was even more solemn.

They frowned, smoking their pipes while analyzing the situation.

"This matter is not simple.

The underground labyrinth contains amethyst, which can be exchanged for potential breakthrough potions.

Now that these families control it, it won't be easy for us to get a share, and we may even have to clash with them," said an old noble with a gray beard, his expression serious.

"Hmph, conflict is secondary.

I'm afraid that this also involves forces from the higher plane.

If we accidentally offend them, our entire empire will suffer," another noble heavily knocked on the table, his face full of worry.

In the marketplace, although the common people did not know much about the profound power struggles, they were equally shocked by the news.

In the taverns on the streets, the patrons sat together, talking all at once.

"I heard that there are powerful families guarding the underground labyrinth.

How powerful must they be? We probably won't see such experts in our lifetime," said a patron wearing coarse linen clothes, smacking his lips.

"Who cares? I just hope this matter doesn't escalate, or our peaceful days will be over," another patron picked up his glass, drank it all in one gulp, his face full of worry.

In an instant, the entire capital seemed to have been hit by a blockbuster, causing a huge uproar.

People were guessing how the royal family would respond and where the empire's future would lead.

The tense and curious atmosphere enveloped the prosperous city, lingering for a long time.

When Rebar heard the news, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

His originally calm face twisted, his eyes filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

He never expected that the originally extremely secret matter of the underground labyrinth would be known to everyone, which completely disrupted his plans.

You must know that the powerful beings from the higher plane have always been his greatest reliance.

Relying on certain connections with the higher plane, he has gained many benefits from it and secretly accumulated his own strength.

The underground labyrinth beneath the palace actually has a managing family, but Rebar had already quietly taken control of this family.

For so many years, he had been carefully guarding this secret, even the royal family was kept in the dark,

completely unaware.

The underground labyrinth under the palace contains abundant resources, including some rare items that are of great help in breaking through realms and enhancing strength.

Rebar originally wanted to rely on his control of this labyrinth and the managing family to slowly expand his strength.

When the time was right, he could have absolute say in the empire and even influence major events such as the succession of the throne.
