King Krisen finally realized how this impulsive man became the emperor. He actually turned around the entire situation in his favor despite how impossible the odds looked for him before.

Of course, it was not like he was really out of the danger zone, but he was surely moving in the direction he wanted. He could also see how the expressions of the noble families who lost their sons seemed to have their expressions relax a bit.

But King Krisen wasn't surprised since 1% of the empire's annual resources was more than a treasure trove. Any noble family would kill to get at least a small part of it since with just that, they could nurture and better provide their descendants with the most potential to quickly rise up in cultivation and also get the best training.

So the families who lost their potential successors today could use these resources to quickly nurture another one and make up for what they lost.

Of course, the Gale Emperor was taking a huge loss here in terms of resources by putting out such an offer, but it was a bold and shrewd move. After all, after committing all the things he did, how could he come out of this smoothly without sacrificing something big?

And coupled with the fact that he even took a vow before everyone, it makes it look like he was very serious about this and heavily regretted what he did.

But what King Krisen couldn't bear was the fact that the Gale Emperor was lying through his teeth about Damien spouting lies.

And he can't even support Damien in front of everyone as long as Damien remains a fugitive before the world.

"Now…I will be able to focus on making up for my mistakes only after catching that criminal, Damien, who still possesses the secrets of the state which could destroy us all. And not only that, our beloved King Krisen's daughter has been taken hostage by him as well. King Krisen, if you still want to stop me, does it mean that you don't want my help in getting back your daughter? Or is there something I am missing here?" The Gale Emperor asked with a narrowed gaze, attracting all the attention of King Krisen.

King Krisen was inwardly feeling infuriated because the Gale Emperor was now trying to put him on the spot by making it seem like he didn't care about getting his daughter back and also insinuating the fact that he might be hiding something.

And so he could only say, "Your Majesty misunderstands. I was merely looking out for you, and I had already sent my best men to follow Damien. But I can't leave yet since, as a king, I have a duty to my subject's welfare as well, and I have to stay back to see if there are any more terrorists hiding around here that can threaten our people. Since most, including the Xeton Emperor, have gone after Damien, it is only natural that someone stays back to keep watch here," King Krisen said calmly, though inwardly, he hoped that Damien knew what he was doing.

He was still feeling anxious, wondering how Damien could shake off someone as powerful as the Xeton Emperor and also the experts beside him. After all, he was just a junior, in the end, going up against these old monsters who had cultivated for centuries.

He was sure that if something happened to Damien, then his daughter would never be the same anymore since he knew how deep their bond was. But at the same time, he couldn't even lend a hand directly to Damien due to his own status. 

The best he could do was try and stop the Gale Emperor to not adding more headaches for Damien. However, he also was feeling hopeful since no news about Damien getting captured reached here even though the Xeton Emperor was personally chasing Damien.

Didn't this mean that he might have underestimated this wonder boy who actually might have some few tricks to come out of this? He also remembered that Damien wouldn't do anything risky without a good plan.

The Gale Emperor lightly smiled as he walked past King Krisen while the nobles behind him also awkwardly gave way, "Then you all stay here while I go and chase the terrorist. If the Xeton Emperor hasn't still caught him, then it only means that he would need my help as well. Now, who all are going to come with me and capture this dangerous criminal?"

The experts of the noble families gathered around here glanced at each other before most of them quickly joined the Gale Emperor, who had already taken to the skies, while only some stayed back along with the Krisen King to keep a watch on things here.

Meanwhile, after a few minutes, right when Ruthren realized that somebody else was here with Damien after seeing how his men on the ground below were killed, he quickly informed his experts to keep a lookout for any members of the Forsaken.

"Damien, you are finished! Not even your weak friends are going to be of any help to you now," Ruthren said in a cutting tone as he was about to catch up to Damien within just a few seconds.

Lily felt her heart tighten upon seeing Ruthren chasing them like a wild animal and about to catch them, though Damien didn't seem to be perturbed as he said, "Weak friends? You will be eating your own words soo, hehe.…Now!"

The moment Damien called out, Ruthren frowned when he realized multiple sources of powerful ethereal energy were shooting toward him like unstoppable forces. Based on his senses, these three forces of ethereal energy were coming from Profound Ethereal Realm cultivators!

And one of the energy sources seemed very powerful and profound, almost to the point it could be a threat to him if he didn't defend himself. 

So Ruthren immediately stopped flying forward to quickly put his defensive arts to use to shield himself from this ambush.
