Chapter 33: My Beast Emperor System
'Just like that?'
Lucien was left dumbfounded by the harsh words thrown at him by the man he once called grandfather. He committed no crime and instead fought for the sake of the empire! It was only natural he is rewarded, yet these people had the guts to treat him this way, simply because their victory cost him his cultivation.
Pondering more on this matter he couldn't help but remember the emperor Fei, warning him about something like this when he received the gifts.
"It's probably because of your achievements… Don't let it get to your head… if you didn't do so well or show any promise, no one would even bother to look your way…. I guess the emperor was right, you all are scum" Lucien hissed with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, he prayed that he had some sort of hidden strength that will let him destroy the entire Raizen clan and kill off his old man.
"You… little…" Lucas growled as he raised his cane but then an incredible pressure invaded the room, causing the old man's face to turn pale with fear.
"Is that how you treat a hero of the empire? You must have gone mad old man!" Emperor Fei's voice may sound calm but the power erupting from his body was enough to make the old man of the Raizen clan shiver due to fear.
"A thousand apologies but I strongly believe you misunderstood my intentions…" Lucas said with a pale face.
"Get out… all of you" Lucien growled stunning everyone.
"You heard him… Get out, now!" Instructor Han said coldly while he and Emperor Fei walked in.
With no choice, Lucas and the other members of the Raizen clan threw Lucien a last cold glance before the left.
With these people gone, Lucien laid on the bed and covered his face with his pillow, in a bid to prevent people from seeing the tears rolling down his face. No matter how much he has achieved or done, the fact remains that he is just a thirteen-year-old kid and Emperor Fei knew that.
"That's alright Lil emperor" He said as he sat beside Lucien, patting his back occasionally.
Instructor Han just stood by the side and watched with a frustrated look on his face. They patiently waited for Lucien to gather his shit together.
"Did we win?" Lucien asked as he threw the pillow away and sat up once again.
The emperor and Instructor Han shot each other a meaningful glance before turning to meet Lucien's cold gaze and gulped before speaking.
"Apart from the nine you killed… Blink and Clovis escaped…" Emperor Fei said.
"What? How? Even if they used a spatial gate to escape, instructor Han should be able to track them…" Lucien was dumbfounded by what he heard and quickly replied.
"That's the problem… they weren't escaping to another part of this emperor… instead they were traveling to another world entirely! This power far surpasses anything we can suppress… so we could only watch them leave" Instructor Han explained.
"I understand" Lucien said after giving the matter some thought.
During this time, he shot a glance across the room only to realize that most of these things have been moved. His once lively and well-decorated room was almost empty, leaving him with his clothes and the big bed.
"After the left, we found you down there, within the power sources, you were unconscious and the hole on your chest had closed up… it's a miracle you are still alive…. Unfortunately, it couldn't save you, from the effects of that attack…" Instructor Han said.
"Of course it couldn't…if what they said is true and the aura of those weapons are truly at the God tier, it will be extremely difficult for it to be purged" Emperor Fei said with a stern look on his face.
After that was said, silence followed. Lucien and the rest remained silent for over a before the emperor asked a question.
"Do you feel any different… stronger, weaker... Anything at all… we can confirm the power source saved your life but we believe it should be capable of more…" The Emperor's voice trailed off as he watched Lucien shake his head in disagreement.
"I will be leaving then… Lil Han here will look stay here and look after you until you are ready to return to the Academy… You don't have to worry… we have your back…" Emperor Fei said before walking out of the room with Instructor Han following him tightly behind.
Alone, Lucien rolled off the bed and moved to a corner of the room where he sat quietly and thought about his future. Back then he was the one who looked down on the weak but now the situation is reversed.
"What an unfortunate turn of events" He said while smiling bitterly. "The most frustrating part of it is that I don't even know what's wrong with me!" Lucien cried.
