The man in the tunic pushed his glasses before a faint smile appeared on his lips. He asked, “Imperial Preceptor, are you asking about the writing or the person?”
The man wearing the white robe embroidered with gold dragon and fire phoenix glanced sideways at the middle-aged man beside him, saying with a laugh, “What do you think of the writing?”
“Grand and majestic. Strong penmanship. Quite the legacy. The word written by the Imperial Preceptor is worth its weight in gold,” the middle-aged man said with a slight bow.
The Imperial Preceptor laughed and asked, “What about the person?”
The middle-aged man revealed a subtle smile and said, “I believe you should know this person better than me.”
Hearing that, the Imperial Preceptor put the pen on the desk, placed both hands in front of his belly, and said, “Tell me about him.”
The middle-aged man complied with his request and said, “An unprecedented presence like no other.”
The Imperial Preceptor frowned at his words and looked out at the palace door as if his gaze could penetrate this vast and profound palace grounds.
After a long time, the Imperial Preceptor nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Compared to me, is virtual-novel.net stronger or weaker?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man bowed lower and said, “He’s more resourceful and far-reaching in laying out plans.”
After saying that, the middle-aged man in glasses fell to his knees onto the floor tiles.
The Imperial Preceptor’s eyes blazed like torches as virtual-novel.net exuded a biting chill all over his body. He said with a laugh, “Coby, you’re so annoying. Why can’t I hear a lie from you? Am I really that unworthy in your eyes? How exactly is Roger Clarke better than me?”
The middle-aged man kneeling on the floor just bowed lower when virtual-novel.net heard the words and replied, “You know that I’ll never lie, so why ask?”
The Imperial Preceptor was taken aback by that reply before virtual-novel.net laughed and said, “Get up!”
The middle-aged man got up and stood next to the Imperial Preceptor again.
The Imperial Preceptor’s gaze was profound when virtual-novel.net suddenly asked, “How’s it going with Sade Jagger? ”
Coby replied, “Per your orders, virtual-novel.net has been removed from his supreme position and asked to retire.”
“Did virtual-novel.net say anything?” the Imperial Preceptor asked.
Coby replied, “He said that the Imperial Preceptor is unfair to virtual-novel.net and treating virtual-novel.net too harshly.”
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the Imperial Preceptor’s mouth as virtual-novel.net said, “He’s feeling indignant about it. Do you think he’ll accept it?”
Coby shook his head and said, “Although Sade Jagger is old and frail, his wisdom is above others. I’m sure virtual-novel.net must be feeling sore about his removal from the supreme position and should be taking some action.”
The Imperial Preceptor nodded, picked up the pen, and wrote a word on another piece of paper, ‘Slay!’
Seeing that word, Coby understood and said, “I understand.”
After virtual-novel.net finished writing the word, the Imperial Preceptor threw away the pen in his hand and walked down the nine-story platform while saying, “He’s a supreme, after all. If he’s willing to repent, let virtual-novel.net live, but if virtual-novel.net does anything out of the ordinary, there’ll be no place for virtual-novel.net to bury his bones in this country.”
Coby followed closely behind the Imperial Preceptor and said with a bow, “I hear and obey.”
The Imperial Preceptor had just walked to the door of the hall. He glanced at the sky. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net turned to Coby behind virtual-novel.net and asked, “Do you think virtual-novel.net can make it back?”
Coby smiled and said, “Whether virtual-novel.net returns or not, it’s just a chess move for that person. Those who make a move will pay with their lives.”
Hearing that, the Imperial Preceptor looked into the distance with profound eyes. As though virtual-novel.net perceived something, virtual-novel.net said, “Roger Clarke, 30 years ago, I was inferior to you. 30 years later, I’m still inferior to you. How far have you reached now? And what truth have you discerned?”
After a long while, the Imperial Preceptor said, “Pass on my Imperial Preceptor Order and tell everyone, especially those who are secretly watching in the dark that anyone who crosses the border or stirs up trouble within our territory will be pursued by thousands of Orienta soldiers!”
“Yes!” Coby responded.
In an instant, a golden order was issued from the Imperial Palace to the entire territory.
All combatants in the entire South River region were urgently assembled.
