Everyone looked toward the source of the sound . The sound came from the middle district of Bloodshed Land and the location of Heber’s palace .

Ames’s eyes gleamed coldly, and she looked at Hila and Aurora before letting out a soft sigh . Her palm was then lowered and hidden within her sleeves . She was no longer planning on taking action, and the force field that had been brewing disappeared .

The tense atmosphere relaxed in that instant .

She then looked at Carroll and Malekith who had blocked her attack and calmly said, “Don’t just stand there, lead the way . ”

When she decided to accept the invitation of the Tyrant, Ames had already predicted that something like this would happen . Her previous attack had already displayed her attitude . However, since the Tyrant had interfered personally and she was in his territory, she did not want a greater conflict to break out . After all, she did not come here to create trouble .

Malekith nodded and led the way .

Han Xiao then turned around to glance at Carroll .

Carroll did not say another word as he witnessed Ames’ departure . He then retracted his smile and shook his head at the other two Vanguard Officials . “I thought that she would continue attacking despite the warning . Although I made sure not to go too far, with my understanding of Ames, this level of provocation should have been enough to enrage her . ”

Another Vanguard Official then said with a sigh, “The Dragon Emperor has changed . The rumors are true . She indeed wants to expand . ”

The Black Star Army represented Floating Dragon’s expansion . Many organizations had noticed this situation, and Bloodshed Land was no exception .

Carroll’s mission was to probe Ames’ attitude . The majority of his words were targeted at Black Star and did not directly humiliate Ames . Through Ames’ reaction, they would be able to gain plenty of information . If she truly wanted to expand, she would not provoke a greater conflict .

At the same time, in Heber’s palace, only Heber and a Klent emissary were present . The footage of Ames and her entourage was displayed on the screen .

The Klent Kingdom placed great importance on the Tyrant’s gathering and treated this as an important diplomatic mission . The emissary was a high official in the Klent Kingdom and personally attended the gathering to show the close ties between the Tyrant and the Klent Kingdom .

The Klents usually had slim figures, and when standing beside the seven-meter-tall Heber, the emissary seemed extremely tiny .

“Your Excellency Tyrant, you are as powerful as ever . You do not even need to make an appearance and can make the Dragon Emperor back down with a single roar . I still thought that I would be able to witness the majestic appearance of Your Excellency taking action,” the Klent emissary said with a respectful tone .

“Hmm . ” Heber shook the gigantic, specially-made wine glass in his hands without saying a thing .

“It’s a pity . If only she had decided to take action . ” The Klent emissary shook his head and smiled .

“The gathering this time is a huge event . She will offend many big shots if she creates trouble . Since she wants to expand, she won’t take action,” Heber said calmly .

“Aren’t you afraid of her taking revenge after the gathering?” The Klent emissary chuckled . “She is someone who would do something like that . ”

“Isn’t that what you guys would like to see the most?” Heber asked calmly .

“Haha, you are right . That would give you an excuse to suppress Floating Dragon Island . ” The Klent emissary laughed . He was the one who wanted to see Ames go all out without any consideration the most . “Even the Purple Crystal Civilization wouldn’t stop you from entering Colton with this reason . ”

Heber glanced at him and could not be bothered to reply . While both parties were in an alliance, their motives were different .

The Klent emissary looked at Ames’ figure on the screen and muttered to himself, “Ames… tsk tsk . If I could obtain such a woman who has the halo of a beyond Grade A Super, all other women would pale in comparison to her . ”

With his status and authority, he had countless partners, and appearance was no longer what he cared about the most . Status and identity were what made a woman more charming in his eyes . As the only female among the four beyond Grade A Supers in the Shattered Star Ring, Ames was naturally the woman who was the hardest to tame .

A Star System level civilization did not dare provoke a beyond Grade A Super, but to a Star Cluster level civilization, while a beyond Grade A Super was powerful, they would not be that wary of one .

Only a gigantic organization like the Tyrant’s would be of significance to a Star Cluster level civilization .

Thus, the Klent emissary did not mind displaying his desire for Ames . In any case, it was no more than a thought .

“I hate willful women,” Heber said slowly . “Her character needs to be polished more . ”

Upon hearing that, the Klent emissary shook his head . Ames was no more than a thought for him, but Heber was the one with the capability to take action .

Han Xiao and the others were on their way to the guest room .

After the previous conflict, the mood of the group was a little downcast .



“Black Star don’t think too much,” Ames suddenly said . “Carroll said those words on purpose . ”

“I know . ” Han Xiao shrugged in response .

“They should’ve been following Heber’s instructions,” Ames explained . “I wonder what his intentions are . Aesop predicted that this gathering would be different and asked me not to act rashly . ”

It turned out that Ames had already gotten Aesop to make a prophecy . Perhaps Aesop had also recommended that she come for this gathering .

“Carroll was one of the earliest members of Floating Dragon . However, he betrayed me for the Tyrant, gaining a high status in Bloodshed Land . ”

Han Xiao stroked his chin and said, “To allow a traitor to take on an important position, the Tyrant is truly charismatic . ”


Do not use an individual you doubt, and do not doubt an individual you use . Heber definitely needed to offer extremely plentiful conditions in order to poach people . When Malekith tried poaching him, Malekith had also offered him the position of Vanguard Official .

“He is the Tyrant, so he is not afraid of betrayals . ”

“Why?”

“When Carroll betrayed me, the Tyrant was able to protect him, but if he betrays the Tyrant, no one in the Shattered Star Ring will be able to protect him . ” Ames let out a sigh . “Furthermore, I have to admit that the Tyrant is far more charismatic a leader than I am . ”

“Are you very wary of him?” Han Xiao said with his brows raised . “I still thought that you weren’t afraid of anything . ”

“Of course, I am not afraid of him, but no matter how much I hate him, I cannot change the fact that he is extremely powerful . ” Ames shook her head and paused for a moment before continuing . “Thus, try to remain low profile in the Tyrant’s territory . You don’t have to be angry because of Carroll . He said those words intentionally . ”

Ames looked at Han Xiao and took the initiative to give an explanation . She was afraid that Han Xiao would take those words to heart .

Han Xiao felt warmth in his heart . He did not mind what Carroll had said but did not think that Ames would care about his feelings .

According to his understanding of Ames, she did not seem like the person who would care about others .

“I feel that you have changed . ”

“How have I changed?” Ames smiled .



“You are more patient than before . ”

Ames smiled and did not reply . She then turned around to look at Hila and Aurora .

“Aesop said that only a little child would act in such a willful manner . He asked me to change . If not, I will suffer a loss one day . ”

Han Xiao rolled his eyes and replied, “That old Aesop is still so shameless . How does he have the right to say such a thing?”

“I think so too . ” Ames broke out into a bright smile and chuckled .

The guest room provided was located in a building to the side of Heber’s palace . It was a gigantic castle that was made up entirely of guest rooms . There were already some guests who were currently staying in the guest rooms .

There were still a few days before the official start of the gathering, and many organizations would come earlier . The few days before the official start of the ceremony was the best chance to network and expand their social circle . After all, it was a rare opportunity for the big shots of the various organizations to gather together .

Malekith led the way into the castle .

At the moment, the main hall was filled with guests in small groups . The guests were all of different races and came from the different organizations of the Shattered Star Ring .

Upon hearing someone walk in, all the guests turned around to take a look . After recognizing that the incoming guest was Ames, all of them had strange looks on their faces . They wanted to come up to give their greetings but seemed to be wary about something and thus remained on the spot without moving .

All of them had heard the loud roar of the Tyrant . Since Ames and Heber had already clashed, they all felt that it was better for them to suck up to the Tyrant . Thus, no one stepped forward to strike up a conversation with her .

Ames could not be bothered, and their group left the main hall toward the rooms .

Bloodshed Land had prepared the rooms for them . Ames had her own room, Han Xiao had his own room, and Hila and Aurora shared a room .

When they got back to the rooms, Han Xiao was left alone .

He then activated a compressed orb, and it transformed into a detection device . After scanning the room, he confirmed that there were no listening devices .

Han Xiao nodded and took out another machine .



Buzz!

A brilliant beam of light flashed, and a holographic image covered the entire room . Even if there was a magic monitoring device, only the holographic image would be captured, and they would not be able to tell what he was doing .

While there were many big shots living in the castle and there should not be any listening devices, Han Xiao was used to being careful .

“Carroll…”

Han Xiao’s eyes flashed, and he transformed into his Chaos Body . Activating his Void Vision, his sight ignored all physical distance, and he could monitor Carroll’s actions .

The instant Ames had decided to step back, Han Xiao had planted an Observer’s Mark on Carroll and removed the position of the space pirate .

The Observer’s Mark was only there as a precautionary measure . In times of emergency, this Observer’s Mark could come in handy .

Furthermore, Carroll was the Logistics Manager of Bloodshed Land and could come in contact with important equipment and blueprints frequently . Han Xiao felt that there would be a lot to gain from him .

I can make use of the Observer’s Mark to gather intelligence during the gathering, Han Xiao thought to himself .

In his previous life, none of the players had discovered the Tyrant’s gathering because they were not able to reach such a level . This was the first time that he had heard about the gathering .

While there was a conflict along the way, this gathering should be relatively safe .

Ames was probably there to show her presence, but this was an extremely good opportunity to gather intelligence for Han Xiao . Han Xiao decided to make use of it well . With all the participants of the gathering being big shots, they might be able to reveal some important information . With his memory of the various storylines, a small hint would allow him to think of many things .

The Version refresh had always been something of great importance to Han Xiao . After all, the players in his previous life had only received very vague details of the exact timing of the refresh . Han Xiao needed greater details and hoped to gain some insights from this gathering .
