The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 682 - Do I Even Have To?

Athena had already have the answer and it made her feel goosebumps all over her body. Although her flesh was fake due to being a treasure, it was a fact that they still have emotions like other living beings.

The scarier part was why Jin Rou wanted him here? By his power level, he had no use for Athena. After all, he could just create his own living treasure and it'd be stronger than her.

"Why do you want me? I am useless for you." Athena said in a meek tone. Usually, she was all arrogant and throwing her weight in the mansion. However now, she was like a weak little girl that was being bullied.

"Because your little sister wants me to drag you to where she is." Jin Rou chuckled, "I have met her in somewhere world and she requested me to do this for her. Of course, this service isn't for free."

"My little sister is alive?" This flabbergasted Athena. It had been so long now since they were separated, perhaps hundred millions of years now. All she thought was her little sister was no longer alive because of the long time that she had not seen her or have clues about her despite of numerous searches and investigations she made.

Even Blood Empress widened her eyes. She also thought that the little sister was no longer alive. Who would have thought that she's just in another world apart from here?

"She was captured by a certain progenitor of that world and made her a nourishment and dao source of their land. Because of her, that clan managed to reach the top without breaking a sweat and became the ruler of the realm." Jin Rou was speaking casually, "Your little sister is fortunate to meet me as I have a debt to collect against that clan."

Jin Rou didn't need to narrate more as everyone had already understood what happened.

"Is she well?" Athena was shaking from joy. She missed her little sister so much that she had constant dreams about her and now that she could meet her again, how couldn't she not be happy?

"Apart from being hateful because of what she suffered, she is well and full of vigor. She even had the strength to burn down the clan with her own hands." Jin Rou laughed, "She is a hateful lamp that might seek payments for the little grievances she experienced."

"That's how she is." Athena smiled wryly. Right now, she no longer fear Jin Rou or so to say, she just had relaxed her guard. All of Jin Rou's words were true and there was no element of lies applied, "When can I meet her?"

"So I'm guessing you're coming on your own accord?" Jin Rou smiled, looking at Athena and Blood Empress.

"Yes, I have to be with my little sister." Athena spoke filled with resolution. She had been away for so long now and realized that her little sister was way more important than everything else.

Hearing this, Jin Rou looked at Blood Empress with satisfaction and spoke, "And I think you have heard of Athena's response, right Empress?"

Blood Empress' emotions were very unstable and turbulent. She wanted to explode in anger however she had to force it down and keep herself in check. If she make a move right now, her empire was done for and no one could save them from Jin Rou's wrath.

She looked up and keep taking deep breaths. The empress didn't care about those watching. The important thing was to remain logical and reasonable no matter how unreasonable the other party was.

"Are you sure about this, Athena?" The empress looked at Athena with pleading gaze. Losing Athena in this period would spell worse situations for the empire.

"Sister, I have been away for so long now and I'm already satisfied by your empire's treatment towards me. It's time for me to be with my little sister." Athena nodded her head, "Although the empire is suffering right now, you are the ruler of it and I'm sure you can find a way to survive."

The empress wanted to say something but Athena continued, "To be honest, I can't be much of help for you here. If not for the treasures here, my treasure cultivation might have become stagnant."

"Athena, the empire needs you right now. If you want to leave, you can do it later on after the threats have been cleared. But now, I want you to stay. This is for the future of our empire, which nurtured you!" Blood Empress was still trying to persuade Athena.

"Unfortunately, that won't be possible." Jin Rou joined in and said, "We will be leaving today so it's not possible that Athena will stay here."

"Feng Lin's successor, do you really have to put us on edge?" Blood Empress was filled with hatred for Jin Rou. She was sure that Jin Rou was pushing them to jump the cliff.

"Do I even have to?" Jin Rou sneered and looked at the empress with disgust, "Blood Empress, even I don't make a move, thousands of forces will. You created so many enemies in all parts of the world and they will surely hunt you now that you're in this dire situation. If you want to blame someone, blame it on your dead law who chose God King's side."

Jin Rou stood up and looked down at the trembling empress once again, "And mind you, I can end this empire right here and right then while we're talking. Dare me."

The Blood Empress bit her tongue until it bled. She didn't want to say more as it would get things more complicated than it already was. Her fists were clenched tightly as drop of bloods could be seen from it.

"Let's go. We have no reason to stay here any longer." Jin Rou looked at Athena and walked off the room.

Emperor Randies followed suit as it would be awkward to stay there. Athena slowly stood up and walked by the door, she looked at the depressed state of the empress who was looking down the floor. It was the first time she had seen the prideful empress act this way.

After bowing sincerely, Athena left.
