Chapter 1556 Deal
"I understand," she said. "But… killing would be difficult; I want you to know that. The Emperor isn\'t a nobody when it comes to strength. We don\'t have members that can fight him."
"I\'ll give you the pills you need to get there," Alex said. "As long as they accept my demands, I\'ll make them strong."
The girl nodded. It was a possibility that Alex\'s pills were as good as her leader assumed it to be.
Not everyone had eaten a pill with a pill vein. Not everyone had that luxury. But old records that the legionnaires had been allowed to read did mention something about it making the pill better.
Adding on that the fact that each pill Alex made was 100% in harmony, they had to accept that he could do what he said he could. Still, she wondered about something.
"You\'re talented, aren\'t you, Your Majesty?" she asked. "Players like you are supposed to be fast when it comes to breaking through for some reason."
Alex nodded. "Yes," he said. "I\'m not bad, I suppose."
"Then…" the girl mused. "Why don\'t you do it yourself? Eat your pills, get stronger, and in a century or two, you should be strong enough."
At that point, Alex realized something that the Oathbreakers hadn\'t realized. Or rather, they had realized it and were banking on it most likely, which wouldn\'t work for him.
In 13 years, he would have given the Emperor everything that the Emperor would need to make Pill clouds. When he did, he would finally be ready to ascend.
That wasn\'t what Alex wanted anymore.
He wanted to kill the Emperor, so the only thing he could do was get stronger in time to kill him or use help from others who were close to that strength.
The Oathbreakers were the only ones who could do that, and he couldn\'t tell them what would happen if they didn\'t hurry, lest they decide to leave.
"Reaching the Emperor\'s level of strength as myself is near impossible given how long it will take. As I advance, I will become slower and slower. I will have to wait a long time before I can kill him."
"I can\'t wait. This is not my continent. My family is not here. I wish to see him die for what he did to my cousin. That is it."
"Tell your leader that. If he agrees, tell him to find me with recipes and ingredients for the pills he wants me to make," Alex said. "I\'ll wait for him."
The girl nodded. "How should we find you?" she asked. "We can\'t go to the Dragon capital or most capital anymore. The Emperor has improved his surveillance now."
"I am not sure about that," Alex told her. "What methods do you think there are?"
"It\'s difficult to meet you without your guards or the military around you. The leader sent me because I don\'t stand out as much," the girl thought to herself. It truly was a difficult situation. She had to give it some more thought.
After a few seconds, she pulled out something. "Take this," she handed over a talisman. "It is destroyed after a single message is sent and can\'t be reused."
Alex took the talisman. "You want me to communicate through this?" he asked.
"No, that\'s just there in case we can\'t come into contact with you and need to let you know," she said.
"Finding you should be easy. You aren\'t exactly a nobody after all," the girl said. "Meeting you is another mountain to traverse, but we\'ll think about something. You don\'t have to worry about that."
The girl smiled at Alex. She trembled a bit, shaking away the cold that she was getting used to. "I\'ll leave now, Your Majesty. If we\'re lucky, we\'ll see each other in the near future."
Alex nodded. "Bring me as much information as you can about my cousin," he said. "Of all my demands, that is the most important."
The girl nodded seriously.
The soundproof barrier disappeared and the metal disk floated into the girl\'s hand. "It would\'ve been so easy to just teleport back there," she said with a sigh. "Now I have to go somewhere else first."
She brought out a talisman and was about to crush it when she stopped and looked at Alex. "Please don\'t stop this one."
Alex chuckled a bit. "No, I won\'t," he said.
The girl nodded. Then, she activated the talisman and teleported away from the location.
Alex sensed some difficulty in her teleportation, which he understood had something to do with the location. The heaviness of the Yin in the area caused her teleportation to slow down a little.
Still, he felt the teleportation aura, trying to understand the intricacies there, but without being the one that was teleported, that was a little difficult.
He was trying to figure out where the girl was being teleported to, where the Oathbreaker\'s hideout was. In the end, he could only tell the direction she was teleported toward.
South.
He could not tell the distance.
He stood there, alone in his thoughts, allowed to think about everything he had learned today. He felt his eyes moisten a little, now knowing that his sister had died.
But that brought along a question that he couldn\'t figure out. Why would the Dragon Emperor try and kill his sister?
There was one answer he had, a simple one.
He was afraid of her strength. She was so strong that the Dragon Emperor felt threatened and wanted to get rid of her. Given the condition she was supposed to have, that was an easy answer to get to.
But… was it the right one?
If he had tried to kill her, and she was strong, why was it not known more publically? He understood why the event itself wasn\'t known, but Hannah should be a popular figure nonetheless.
There were no talks about her disappearance, no talks about her past. There was no information there at all.
Also, no matter what, the Dragon Emperor wasn\'t petty. He wouldn\'t just kill someone because they were stronger than him. That wouldn\'t make much sense given what Alex knew about the man.
\'Dammit!\' Alex cursed on the inside. Not knowing anything was one thing, but not getting an answer from the people involved was even worse.
\'Stupid oaths,\' he thought to himself. How he wished they didn\'t exist. Life would\'ve been so much easier. Just a Truth Seeking pill and he would\'ve gotten all the answers he wanted.
"Tsk!"
He turned around, his emotions slowly fading away and the cold reminding where he was. This wasn\'t the time to waste on thoughts on his sister.
She was dead and he had grieved for her already.
\'Keep moving forward,\' Alex told himself and did exactly that, going deeper into the cave. He walked thoughtlessly, the cold bothering him just as much as his thoughts did.
Half a day later, when the Yin cold started becoming harder for him to deal with, he finally stopped and sat down to get used to it before continuing his journey.
