"I know, Davis. Father won't forget the most important thing. I might be a failure of an Emperor but I'll definitely protect you guys at the cost of my life!" Logan declared determinedly.
Davis was content that his father thought this way. He didn't want a father who was spouting all Emperor nonsense anyway.
Few minutes passed before a guard announced the arrival of the various Empires one by one.
The first to show up was the Ruth Empire, followed by, Ashton Empire, Ross Empire and finally the Claymore Empire.
The ones to show up were the Emperors of each Empire, not the Ambassadors. They gave respect to the rumoured senior behind the Empire, not the current Emperor of the Loret Empire.
They greeted each other and sat in their designated seats respectively.
A banquet was setup way before they arrived on the venue. Each of them enjoyed great delicacies consisting of Peak Level Sky Beast Stage Magical Beasts. Sky Beast Stage Beasts were equal to the 3rd step of the Human Cultivation.
"Emperor Loret, this Blazing Tiger meat is delicious and nourishing as well.. This should've cost severely, are you sure that's it's not going to lessen your Empire's Treasury?" Emperor Alex Claymore curiously questioned. His face looked sharp, his eyes emitting Sword Intent that was capable of killing with a look. He looked fit, his body draped with luxurious sword patterned robe.
Alex Claymore couldn't fathom how they were still rich even after facing two calamities.
'Damn, his looks can kill, literally!' Davis's thoughts were swirling around his mind. He kept an innocent face looking left and right.
"Haha, how can I hold back when I heard that the Emperors were going to pay my Empire a visit? Naturally, if I can do this, then it is within my means." Logan grinned.
"Haha, the Loret Empire sure is rich!" Emperor Van Ross laughed. His face looked amiable, his eyes blue. He looked a little fat, but that doesn't warrant to be looked down upon. He wore a lavish imperial robe with beautiful droplet patterns.
'Looks can be quite deceiving…'
"Long years of peace must have filled their pockets immeasurably, maybe the Loret Empire is even rich compared to the 4 of us combined." Emperor Louis Ashton smirked. His face looked handsomely evil, he wore dark red imperial robes with azure flame patterns.
'God, this guy looks so evil…'
"Haha, surely you jest, Emperor Ashton." Logan sneered.
"Now now, there is no use fighting, let's enjoy the banquet a little more gentleman." Empress Isabella Ruth commented with a beautiful smile on her face.
She was a beauty who would quench a man's desire, she looked mesmerising with her laidback personality. Her waist long hair, with puff and wavy bangs. She had fair skin, her body ample with assets that would make a man drool. She wore an azure royal robe which accentuated her beauty tenfold.
Davis gulped silently. 'Perfect!'
Fortunately no one looked at him.
"Yes, yes" All three Emperors simultaneously echoed and laughed.
Even Logan shook his head. Her beauty was able to mesmerise everybody in this hall.
All the other 3 Emperors were more than 200 years old.
Everybody would think that she was a woman who lived for more than 100 years, but the truth was that her age was even lower than that of Logan. Nobody in this hall dared to underestimate this women. Rumours had it that she was a power hungry women who had chanced upon an incredible lucky chance and had managed to make it to the throne of her Empire.
"So, Emperor Loret, we all know what we are here for, since none of you are going to be straightforward about it, I might as well as start." Isabela Ruth sighed.
"The question is… does the rumoured senior even exist?" She hesitated for a moment but gritted her teeth in apprehension and asked away.
There was a moment of silence in the hall. Everybody was tensed except Davis, he acted as if he didn't know what these people were talking about.
"Haha, Empress Ruth, the senior truly does exist but the thing is, he doesn't want to speak to me either." Logan smiled confidently and bullshitted.
Everyone gasped.
"Can we possibly meet this senior?" Emperor Ross timidly asked, albeit everyone knew that it was an act.
"How is it possible? Senior would be very busy and probably wouldn't want to meet us lowly Emperors in the first place. If senior doesn't want to meet us, then we can't possibly force him either." Logan answered calmly.
"Then do you know the place where senior is currently in seclusion?" Emperor Ashton asked.
"Who knows? I have no idea." Logan grinned, his hands spread wide. He made it look like he knew the place but wouldn't tell them even if they asked.
'Damn, father, you sure are good at bullshitting!' Davis grinned.
The discussion went on for about 5 minutes. Seeing that the conversation isn't going anywhere, Emperor Ross decided to change the topic as he sighed.
"Ah.. leave it. I've already come this far, might as well make good relations with you Emperor Loret."
Saying that, he presented a small treasure chest to Logan.
"It's my pleasure, Emperor Ross." Logan nodded and accepted the gift graciously.
He opened it and was astonished to see a fruit in it. It was the Mystic Tyrant Fruit.
'Excellent! This could help Davis attain the Tyrant Physique!' Logan was truly pleased.
"I'm glad to see that you are glad with it, Emperor Loret." Emperor Ross said.
After that, Emperor Claymore and Empress Ruth gave their gifts, but they were lower in quality to the Mystic Tyrant Fruit. From this, it can be seen the Ross Empire was atleast sincere in their motive to make friends with the Loret Empire.
"Hoho? What's wrong Emperor Ashton? Why are you still not giving your gift? Don't tell me you forgot to bring one?" Emperor Ross sneered.
Emperor Aston narrowed his eyes. One could tell that Emperor Ross was spot on. He was a selfish person. He didn't think that Emperor Ross would give out a valuable gift, he didn't want to offer a valuable gift either, nor could he afford to lose in front of his fated enemy. He thought for a while and smiled at Logan.
"Emperor Logan, we all know that you only have one wife! Isn't that right?" Emperor Ashton smiled.
'Eh? I don't like where this conversation is going.' Logan had a bad feeling about this.
