Three months later -- inside the throne hall in a luxurious palace

"My son... is a prisoner? And in the hands of some peasants from the Ancestral Continent on top of that? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?! why have I been feeding you dogs all these years?" A middle-aged man wearing a crown inlaid with rare stones stood up and shouted

"Y- Your Majesty, we had nothing in our hands, the creatures he brought with him are just very powerful, forget about us, he captured all the youths and observers in the Central Continent and not just our youth!" This was the sage that Robin had let go, he fell to the ground on his knees from the terror and pressure that had descended upon him and began to stutter.

Just standing in front of the Flame Emperor of this generation was worrying enough, but standing in front of him when he is angry? this is a nightmare.

"He captured even the sons of other empires...?" The Flame Emperor furrowed his eyebrows, "Isn't the Flame Empire enough for him as an enemy, so he went to pick a few more? That bastard has some nerve."

"Looks like we really underestimated this Robin Burton" an aging old man standing to the right of the throne muttered in a low voice, "I don't want to say that but you should have taken my advice back then and investigated it further."

"It's just a 200-year-old mouse living on the Ancestral Continent, do we go and make deals with me? tell him: please, we are stupid and we need help, give us EVERYTHING you ever made? No, we had to take what we want!

And what can we investigate further? he is just a kid from some ordinary family and he was struggling and a mortal war against some locals called Dolivar! I still say that we made the right decision." An old woman standing to the left of the throne spoke this time,

And then looked toward the back of the emperor standing in front of her, "Because that mouse managed to find Help we didn't know about doesn't mean you made a mistake when making the invasion decision, remember that you are always right!"

"That *mouse* has managed to discover techniques for all the known Major Heavenly Laws, and they are much purer than the one we know at that! he has techniques for other major laws such as Darkness and Gravity, and he created the Talisman system that we have never heard of before, and... Damn I even forgot the rest of the innovations we heard about!!" The old man spoke in exasperation, "How did you not consider that he might have someone higher than all of us to look after him? Someone... from outside this world!!"

"Who's out of the world? the heavens or the stars..? It seems that age has affected your mind, old man." The old woman waved sarcastically

"Enough!" The Flame Emperor suddenly shouted, "Tell me how do I get my son and the rest of the detainees back?"

"Hear me out and do as Robin said, send all the prisoners to him and he will return our children to us, we heard a lot about him from the ancestral continent since this useless war started, we know he is a benevolent person and always carries out his promises, this kind of nature doesn't just disappear, I assure you that if we do what he says he will abide too." The old man spoke

"No, no, no, you damn old man should be thrown out of the crown hall! You want to humiliate the Great Flame Empire in front of a boy?" The old woman yelled angrily, "Your Majesty, you should send forces to capture this Robin and kill all his henchmen in Central Continent, then not only will you be able to bring our juniors back, but we will be able to get our hands on what we want, isn't our goal from the beginning was to capture him?"

"What is going on inside your brain, woman? Didn't you hear? They have over 200 Sages, that's roughly a quarter of our current troop of Sages! That's not mentioning the other 400 high-ranking Saints, if our troops go and a big fight starts there, our little ones will get hurt and maybe Robin Burton will order them to be killed during the battle!" The old man turned and shouted

"It would be a proper sacrifice in exchange for capturing Robin Butron alive, even if we forgot about his Talisman system, obtaining one or two of his Major Heavenly laws techniques will make the whole world have one empire, The Great Flame Empire!" The woman ignored the old man's words and looked toward the emperor's back again," we can't give this guy much time, this time he appeared with 200 demon sages, what would happen next? your majesty... we MUST get rid of him as soon as possible."

"A proper sacrifice? It's ten thousand teenagers and young men! They are our whole new generation, what will we do with the techniques if we have no one to learn them? how would our people be happy with our success when there is a dead child in every household? do you realize what you are saying, you old crocodile?!" The old man got agitated as if he wanted to pounce on the woman

Then he looked at the Emperor, " You majesty, wars happen and that's natural, every time it ends with peace treaties and common interests, I say we should take advantage of this prisoners exchange and begin this talk with Robin Burton, we can make him give us some benefits if we give him something in return.. this is how normal humans do their business!"

" Give us some benefits? We should haggle with the mouth now? I will commit suicide before that happens! Everything is okay if that's what it takes to capture Robin Burton alive, even if all our younger generation dies!" The old woman answered coldly

"you..!!" The old man was about to finish but was suddenly interrupted

"I have decided..." the emperor's voice finally echoed again, "We will capture Robin Burton... and we will bring all our sons as well!"

"Hmmm...?" Both the old man and the old woman furrowed their brows upon hearing this.

The emperor turned to face the two, "Old Gu, gather the fleet and fill it with all the prisoners we brought from the Ancestral Continent, all of them."

"Yes!" The old man replied with a smile.

Then the emperor looked back at the old woman with a vague smile, "Old Ji, that bastard gave us one week, gather all the high-level Sages and Saints that you can reach within one week and hide them in those ships."

"Eh? ...Haha, what a good plan, a good plan indeed, I have taught you well!" Old woman Ji laughed out loud

Old Gu furrowed his eyebrows when he heard this, the emperor's plan became clear, even though he had to acknowledge that it was indeed smart...

If successful, it would be a perfect shot!

But if it failed...

"You two... you're still underestimating Robin Burton again!"
