"You won't answer?!" The empress was extremely mad and hysterical right now. Flames of rage were raging this desolated forest destroying everything. She loved his sons deeply. In fact, she had this favoritism for her second son. But now that he was gone, she couldn't accept it and wanted to kill everyone she could see.

"Wife Empress, please calm down." The emperor looked in all directions and tried to expand his vision towards the whole forest. However, he couldn't find any trace of the perpetrator. He knew his sons well, they wouldn't fight it out unless someone fueled it.

"Tell me how can I be calm?!" The empress was more mad now, "My sons have been killed by an unknown person! Unknown!"

She paused for a moment and said, "And why are you so relaxed? Your sons, your potential blood successors, are killed! Don't you feel anything at all regarding their deaths?!"

She knew that her husband was cold-blooded, but she didn't expect him to be this cold even to his offsprings. A trace of disappointment and hate appeared in her eyes.

Of course, the emperor had caught this and sighed, "I am angry, very angry of course. But being angry will not help us with anything. It won't lead us to clues to find the perpetrator. Furthermore, since that person dared to touch our family, he is either a dumb or powerful person."

"Who do you think can be brave enough in front of us the Prime Imperial aside from the laws out there?" The empress questioned.

"I don't know. But I'm sure that person is powerful and we need to take extra cautions regarding this." The emperor said. As the leader of this universe, he needed to be extra careful of the things that might threaten them.

Though he was feeling deeply aggrieved because of his sons' death, he had the duty of putting their position at the top priority before anything else.

"I don't care if he is a threat or not. I want him dead! Dead!" The empress walked away in hurry. She didn't want to meet anyone right now and wanted to be alone for now.

"Where are you going?" The emperor asked out of worry.

"It's none of your business. Just do your job as the emperor." The empress didn't turn back once again and flew in a distant direction.

The emperor couldn't help but massage his temples. Things were getting troublesome now, and he didn't expect that it would happen soon. He thought and thought of who might be that someone brave enough to offend them and all. However, aside from their borderline enemies here, he couldn't think of anyone.

After a few minutes more of thinking, he suddenly had a thought which gave him a great horror. He immediately flew towards the direction of where the empress had flown at full speed. However, the empress was no longer to be seen anywhere.

"Shit!" Despite being always cool headed and composed all the time, he couldn't help but lose it now. He felt that something was about to happen if he do nothing. He immediately activated his full power to find traces of everything. He needed to find the empress immediately or else, it would be too late.

The empress was in a deep personal place she only had the access with. Even her husband needed to spend a lot of time in order to forcefully get there.

Right now, she was looking like a haggard mistress being violated by the legal wife. She was thinking of the possible suspects regarding her precious son's death.

"No matter who you are bastard, I won't let you get away by killing my sons. I will let you taste a fate worse than death, don't let me know you or else your clan and your future generations will face genocide no matter what!" She swore this to the heaven. She wouldn't let this go no matter what. Unless she die, the debt must be paid in full with interest!

"Such a brave oath you have there." Then suddenly, an unknown person appeared some distance from her. He was a man, a very handsome man that could topple everything. His handsomeness could shy the heavens and blesss with everything the universes could offer. With his white short hair, white robe fluttering with the wind, he appeared cool and humble, "How are you, Empress?"

The empress was stumped to see Jin Rou. She knew that this place wasn't easy to bypass yet what was he doing here?

"Rou Celestial Clan's Jin Rou." The empress was very knowledgeable of all the clans in the multiverse. So she knew very well of this young man in front of him.

"That's right. It's me, Empress." Jin Rou smiled and said, "Your secret place is very nice and comfortable. With a large falls and flowers here, it is surely a great place for you to die, no?"

The empress could feel that thick killing intent Jin Rou had. She composed herself and gritted her teeth, "Are you the killer of my sons?"

The empress knew the answer in her heart. But she wanted to confirm it.

"Killer is an overstatement, Empress." Jin Rou corrected the wrong words of the empress, "I merely helped them with their goals. They want to fight for the throne, and I can't do anything about it. They want the throne so badly that they don't mind killing each other for that."

"And you took advantage of their desire for it. So that you can achieve what you want to achieve without making your hands dirty. Is that it?" The empress was calm this time. She didn't know why, but she became calm when talking to Jin Rou. Of course, the deep intent to kill him was still there. She was just waiting for the right time to attack. Though she appeared rash, she was actually a cautious person.

How could Jin Rou not know this? Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh, "Just like I said, I merely helped them Empress. They killed each other, and I have nothing to do with it."

"I can't believe the current overlord of the True State is so low like this." The empress sneered in disdain. She was looking down at Jin Rou, "To think that a mere Rou family member is daring enough to offend us, the Prime. You're surely looking for death."

"Says by people who orchestrated the attack in our universe using the devils?" Jin Rou smirked, "I am just here to collect your family's debt, Empress. Please don't take it to heart."
