Chapter 898: A hair cut



"Then... I'll have to insist."

*Showalaaa*

The crimson flames burning on Samson's hair intensified and his aura slipped out of control, "Then by all means, I want to see today how you'll insist!"

On the other side, the True Beginning Emperors were about to move but Old Man Gu raised his hand to stop them, then put it behind his back and looked into Samson's eyes, smiling as before, but everything else about him changed...

*Danger!* Samson's eyebrows sunk as he watched Old Man Gu

Logically, he was at level 43 and was about to break through to level 44, while Old Man Gu was firmly at level 42 and didn't seem ready for any more breakthroughs anytime soon, meaning he had reached his limits. Shouldn't this fight be settled?

That white fire was very dangerous and he involuntarily felt that it had power over his crimson flame, but his body had a strong affinity for the Crimson Melting Flame Law and a high resistance to all types of fire so he didn't think that was why he felt dangerous.

As for Old Man Gu, he really wasn't nervous about whatever they chose... If they accepted the offer, they would extract the treasures of their lands themselves and hand them over to the empire, and if they refused and allowed him to leave, Planet Gudah would definitely be on the list of planets to be conquered soon, and if they tried to kill him... Well, let them try!

"Father, can't we reach neutral ground?" Sandria quickly intervened when she felt the atmosphere getting heavy to the point of suffocation, "We already have a space portal, let them use it!"

"What are you talking about? That space portal is located near the lair of Devos the Transcendent!" Volpe looked at his daughter as if she had said the stupidest thing in existence.

But when he found her looking at him with her two big eyes, and furrowed brows, he took a moment to think, and then opened his eyes wide, "Ah, that's right, it's located next to the lair of Devos the Transcendent!!" Then he turned to Old Man Gu, "Alright, I agree with that idea." "..." Samson smiled wickedly when he heard those words and did not say a word to refuse, but was waiting for Old Man Gu's response as well... If they used a portal that would always make them land next to Devos the Transcendent, that would be better than landing in spaceships, at least if something went wrong they could ask Devos the Transcendent to destroy them!

Old Man Gu remained silent for a few seconds then nodded, "... It's okay I agree, but just using the portal to return won't be enough, I have to secure a safe passage back and forth or I will fail in my mission, if I accept your offer you will have to give me the coordinates of the portal as well, that's my last word, do we have an agreement?"

Devos the Transcendent might be seen as an invincible entity by the locals, a mythical being worthy of worship and reverence! ... But what does the True Beginning Empire have to fear?

Old Man Gu would be generous and pretend that His Excellency, the most powerful figure in the empire, does not exist. What about Caesar who controls the Death Flames and all living beings flee from him? What about Richard who single-handedly crushed an entire tribe of giants? Or even the warlords who once besieged Crixus the Great and forced him to bow his head?

Old Gou chuckled secretly at the naivety of those locals, 'You want to corner us next to a beast? That's fine... if that fox sticks his head out of his hole we'll give him a hair cut at our expense!'
