The room went silent, just breathing could be heard in the room after that. Zhang ngyao then closed her eyes and let out a sigh, "I am sorry. I should not have vented out my frustration on you, Sis Jingyi. Knowing that several God Ranks might co and destroy the ho we have rebuilt stressed out. I have been on the edge these days."
"However, since I did it already, I might as well say my piece. Do you know what he said to himself all this ti to convince him that he is doing the right thing? The world has changed, and he has to accept the new change and adapt. That's the only way to survive. That's what he said to himself, and I agree with it. The world has changed, and we have to adapt to the new world. He might be cruel for executing the traitor, but what the traitor did was much worse than what he did. And maybe there are many worse things outside our view that we don't know. We have to adapt if we want to survive, or you don't need to as long as my husband is alive. He adapts to the new world and will protect you and the other people who have been calling him a monster."
"I still respect you for what you have done, but I hope you can stop calling him a monster too. That will give him peace of mind, knowing soone that is close to him understand him. You don't have to call him by his title and any other formality, but you don't have to call him a monster too, the person who tried his best to protect our new ho," Zhang ngyao smiled and stretched out, "It feels good to speak out." She then heard a notification in her head.
"A new ssage from His Majesty," She then turned toward Viona and Yeon Hee, "He sends your leader back, along with a big reinforcent for our next war. You know what to do, right?"
"Yes, Ma'am!" Viona and Yeon Hee looked delighted when they heard Lu An would return. The work had been hard without Lu An.
"Let's return and defend our ho from the invasion!" Zhang ngyao rose from her seat, leaving the eting by herself.
That was a shocking revelation that even Kang Xue was shocked. She did not knot and never in her mind would think that Cao Jingyi would call her husband a monster. She thought Cao Jingyi would understand every Tang Shaoyang decision, but she was wrong about it.
"I am sorry…. I don't know he has been enduring the guilt all by himself all this ti while I ignorantly called him a monster. I…" Cao Jingyi did not know what to say anymore.
"I understand your perspective. We were living peacefully two years ago, no monster, no zombie, no tower, no system. It is still hard to accept how the world changed. It's even still hard to believe that I have this magical power, and he is also the sa as us, a person with feelings and guilt. He looked strong on the outside, but we always remind him to look strong in front of people. If he shows weakness as Emperor, how will people trust him to protect them? That's what we always say to him, but just rember, he is also a person with feelings like us. We can't expect everyone to understand him, but as the people who are close to him, we have to understand him," Kang Xue hugged Cao Jingyi, caressing her back, "Rember what he said to you before? He still needs people who always question his decision so he can reflect on his decision. Don't mind ngyao, she was on the edge because Tang Shaoyang had been fighting recklessly on the upper floor. She has been restless after knowing he died once, please understand her. His Majesty still needs you in the court."
*** ***
As soon as they returned to Earth, Zhang ngyao held another eting. eting after eting to discuss their future move. While they knew the World Governnt and The Uprising Guild brought the reinforcent, they did not know the exact location of this reinforcent location. The World Governnt and The Uprising Guild were never a threat to them, but the Federation of Allurion and The Divine Church. They needed to find where these people were before they figured out how to find the Earth's location if they had not figured it out yet.
"We have a sub-region in Europe, and we have set up a portal to their territory. We can send TEID to search where the reinforcent is and kill them all with our finest n," Zhang ngyao turned toward the Minister of External Affairs who had been managing the diplomacy issue. The World Union, the leading faction in the World Governnt was in Europe, and the reinforcent might be staying with the World Union.
"We have a problem, Supre Commander Zhang. You have invited The Belem Guild to co, but they haven't sent any representative yet. I sent my people to check on them, but they haven't returned yet," The Minister of External Affairs was a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, and he was handpicked by Pri Minister Li Shuang.
Bang!
Zhang ngyao slamd the table hard, but she controlled her power not to break the table, "Why don't you tell earlier? My invitation to them was three days ago, and we have been in this eting for three hours. Why didn't you inform earlier that the people you sent haven't returned?" She raised her voice, furious that she was not inford earlier.
All the sub-regions had received the call and all of them were coming. She thought everyone from the sub-regions had already arrived, no one told her that their sub-region in Europe had not arrived. There were several possibilities. First, The Belem Guild was destroyed by the World Governnt. Second, The Belem Guild betrayed the Tang Empire.
"The eting is over for now." Zhang ngyao then looked up, "Origin! Check the Belem Guild's contract!" Then he turned toward Lu An, "Prepare to depart with , Lu An. I need to know what happens in Europe's sub-regions!"
