The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 593 - Zangeer

Athan was drunk in the bar as he stood on the stool.

The bartender was quite nervous because Athan had already drunk fifty glasses of wine in ten hours, and that's 25,000 high-grade chaos stones.

'Holy crap, he can pay that much, right? Or is he lost in a drunken stupor, so he continuously orders wine glasses regardless of his capacity?'

Athan was reliving his memories of his uncle and aunt in his drunken state as they had raised him since he was a little kid.

When he went to Earth that day, he didn't even cry, or he did? Anyway, he felt that he didn't feel enough remorse because of his unstable mental state at that time.

He knew there was someone behind the devastating state of the Earth, but he didn't know who that person was, and he didn't feel that it was worth it to waste his time finding them. Naturally, he still doesn't want to waste his time finding it out because once he becomes powerful enough to have this entire chaosverse in his grasp, he will make sure to find the perpetrators.

Suddenly, Athan received contact and took a look at the card, 'Koinshi?'

He took out the card and told him that he was on the top floor of the hotel.

"I'll come down once im done," after saying that, Athan put the card away and turned to the bartender, "you got any other wine? even better than this?"

"Umm...this is the best one we have," the bartender replied with a weak smile.

"Fill this up then," Athan said plainly.

The bartender nodded as he took out the bottle and filled the glass.

"Yo, I heard what you said just now, hahaha. You want a better wine, right?"

Suddenly, a man who looked to be in his late twenties, human appearance but with two sharp, pitch-black horns and a tuxedo suit outfit, sat on the stool right next to Athan. This man had a mysterious pair of black and purple eyes with a strange symbol in them.

The bartender seemed to have recognized him and was surprised.

Athan turned to the man whose aura indicated that he was at the peak of Zen order grandmaster. However, Athan felt that this man was hiding something beneath that grandmaster's aura. However, he was not interested in that, so he didn't pry deeper.

"Give me the price," Athan said.

The man smiled widely and said, "If you can walk three steps after drinking one glass of it, I'll give it to you for free."

Hearing that, Athan's indifferent gaze left the man as he turned around and picked up the glass that the bartender filled up.

The man raised his eyebrows, 'Ignored?'

Athan took a large gulp before saying unhurriedly, "you don't get to decide my course of action. No one gets to decide that. If you want to sell that wine, then speak the price."

Hearing that, the man was speechless while the bartender wondered, 'It looks like this young man doesn't recognize

A group of five people, three women and two men, sitting at a table a bit far away, were looking at Athan and the man. One of the men there had a similar appearance as the man sitting beside Athan.

"Why did your big brother go there, Azkil? From the look of things, that person doesn't even recognize Zangeer." A beautiful lady wearing a dark emerald dress asked. She looked even more attractive as her skin also had a light emerald hue and had long light green eyelashes.

Azkil frowned and shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe my brother saw something in that guy? After all, he was born with the blessing of our Rudral Ancestor and got those mystical eyes. But It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth that the other person didn't appreciate my brother's goodwill."

Another man who had a buffy body with brown crystal skin spoke with a laugh, "Then go and teach him a lesson. He is just at zen order elite."

However, right after he finished speaking, everyone sitting at the table felt a chill. They saw Zangeer looking at them with a smile for a brief moment before looking back at Athan.

'Bunch of idiots,' Zangeer thought as he took out a bottle and an exquisite glass. He filled up the glass with his special wine and said, "Here you go, man. The best of the best wine."

Athan turned around as he looked at Zangeer and then at the glass filled up with black wine that looked a bit transparent and had white sparks that appeared and disappeared constantly.

As he picked up the glass to drink, Zangeer spoke in a low voice, "I have to warn you that only Evagon-realm powerhouses can handle the effect of that wine. So if you fail to handle it, you will probably faint for a few months."

Athan paused for a brief moment before he started taking large gulps of the wine and finished the glass in a few seconds.

"Best indeed," Athan muttered as he closed his eyes and drowned himself in the overwhelming effect of that wine.

Even his soul was affected, but Athan didn't let his abyssal darkness clear off the effect let it remain as his entire being drowned in this heaviness and unique pleasure.

A few desires were birthing in him at this moment as well.

On the other hand, Zangeer confirmed his speculation as he stood up with a faint smile on his face, 'It looks like that brief vision my eyes saw was not my imagination or something. He is indeed a monster in disguise. Well, I guess the heir of that mysterious powerhouse shouldn't be judged based on outer appearance.'

He then stood up and started walking towards the table as his smile turned into a cold expression. He looked at his brothers and others before saying, "Idiots. Don't go courting death randomly, or you won't even know how you died."

Zangeer knew about Athan because he had seen the mirage crystal that his father got. However, his brother didn't see that crystal, so he didn't know about it.

Only top echelons got those mirage crystals, and most of them just mocked the Ursh'in clan after that. Although they were indeed surprised by that powerful entity Void Emperor, they couldn't sense his power through the mirage crystal, and if he was that powerful, he couldn't stay longer in the lower-chaosverse and had returned in the end. The top echelons of organizations and families here had solid connections with the upper-chaosverse, so they were not that mindful of Athan.

Zangeer was surprised to see Athan here and approached him for a little test after finding that his eyes couldn't exactly work on Athan.

...

Fourteen more hours passed without Athan realizing it as he was still drowned in the effect of the wine.

But the delivery of his outfit arrived and Koinshi called Athan again.

Athan removed all effects of the wine before he paid the money to the bartender and left.

After arriving in the room, Koinshi handed him a rectangle glass box with fog in it, "Here is the outfit, young master Athan."

Athan nodded as he took the case, opened and took out his outfit before he started studying it.
