Erp frowned.
Although Eman was right, he couldn’t possibly admit it.
More importantly, he had to persuade Eman to go after the Baih and Tzi families!
“Mr. Sket, that’s not what I meant. We’re just—”
“Stop. I know I’m just your pawn.” Eman cut Erp off. He didn’t want to hear all the pretty words.
“I knew from the very beginning that I and Stelladom Academy were only your pawns. Just like you, I wanted to go after the Baih family.
“That was why I let you use me.
“I don’t blame you for what happened to Stelladom Academy. No one knew the Tzi family would intervene.
“I’ve become a public enemy now, but you still came to see me. You want me to fight to the death against the Baih family, don’t you?
“I can do that, but you must remember one thing: we’re partners. I’m not your pawn!” Eman made himself clear.
He knew he was being used as a pawn from the beginning. To bring down the Baih family and Elixir School, he let them use him.
Their plan was to turn the Baih family against Elixir School, but the Baih family never took action and made him take the fall.
Eman hated the Baih family, which was why he killed the students to incriminate the Baihs.
It should have done the trick, but the Tzi family got involved, and Stelladom Academy met its downfall.
Hence, the Oogh family couldn’t be blamed. Eman needed them to show some sincerity if they wanted to use him again.
“I see, Mr. Sket. I need to discuss it with Emperor Oogh first.” Erp cupped his hands.
Suddenly, Eman laughed. “Why can’t you be Emperor Oogh and make the decision on your own?
“Since I’m only a pawn, I don’t care who the chess player is. Do you really need to discuss such a petty thing?”
Erp frowned and glared at Eman.
Eman only grinned, unaffected by Erp’s rage.
Erp’s fury was genuine, but he was also tempted. So he didn’t attack Eman.
“Emperor Oogh is my brother! What are you suggesting?!” Erp asked grimly.
“Are you really his brother? Does he treat you as one?
“Everybody knows what’s going on between the Oogh brothers.
“If my guess is right, you’re about to fall out, aren’t you?
“Let me remind you of something: all emperors are ruthless!” Eman smiled a little because he was amused.
He was already dead inside and couldn’t care about anything.
He was more interested in seeing the Oogh brothers turning against each other than going after the Baih family.
Erp bit his lip and seemed concerned. “That can wait until this is over!”
“Until this is over?” Eman laughed. “Do you think you can live to see that day?
“If you want to kill somebody, you’d better be the first to take action. I think you know what that is. No one will keep a pet with claws!”
Erp paled. To take the initiative was to gain the upper hand. Of course, he knew that, but he and Elpin were still brothers.
He didn’t think Elpin would attack him before this incident was over.
Erp smiled mockingly. “Let me think about it!”
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Eman stood there in silence. He was curious about what Erp would choose in the end.
Five minutes later, Erp opened his eyes. He exhaled and cupped his hands at Eman. “Sir, please help me!”
Eman laughed wholeheartedly. In the end, that was his choice.
“Since you’ve already prepared for this, go back and kill Elpin tonight!” said Eman.
“Tonight? Isn’t that a bit too soon?”
Erp hesitated at the thought of killing Elpin, but he soon made up his mind.
“Alright. I’ll do it tonight. What should I do? What am I supposed to tell other people?”
Erp and Eman started to form a plan.
Assassinating an emperor was a big deal.
Both Erp and Eman were emperor cultivators. They decided to take Elpin by surprise and ambush him tonight.
Elpin wouldn’t stand a chance!
However, Erp didn’t know how to tell other people why his brother was dead.
After all, he couldn’t let them know he was the culprit. He had to come up with an excuse so that the others wouldn’t suspect him.
“What to tell the others? I’ll be the killer. You don’t need to make up any excuses.
“I’ll be killing my employer, who has hired me to do everything I did earlier. That should sound convincing enough!” Eman was willing to take all the blame.
He didn’t care about what other people thought anymore.
So many people were cursing him. A few more haters wouldn’t make any difference.
Erp was excited. This way, he didn’t need to worry about anything. Elpin would be dead, and he would be the new Emperor Oogh!
“That’s great! Thank you for your help. If I can successfully take the throne, I won’t forget your help!”
Erp then headed back home with Eman. They chatted happily as they walked.
…
The following day, in Stelladom, everybody learned the news that Elpin had died, and Erp became the new Emperor Oogh.
Eman was the killer and had lost an arm in the process of killing Elpin.
All the major forces received the news.
In the Shwa family.
“How could Elpin die so suddenly? It’s too suspicious!” Emperor Shwa was surprised.
“I didn’t know Eman would still play a part,” said Emperor Zea.
“That’s right. I thought he had killed himself already. But he was here to make trouble for us again!” Emperor Shwa sighed. He didn’t know what else to say.
Emperor Zea teased him. “I thought you hated the Oogh family. Aren’t you happy that Emperor Oogh is dead?”
“Emperor Oogh couldn’t have died so easily,” Emperor Shwa said solemnly.
