"You..." The handsome youth knew that it's the deed of the man in front of him and tried to threaten him, "Do you know who I am? I'm from the family of Ross with an Emperor. You wouldn't want to mess with me."
The Ross Family was a powerful family residing in the city. With an Emperor backing them up, they were basked in praises from the masses.
Thus, it also made its offsprings become bullies of the weak.
The handsome youth, Anderson Ross, targeted Jin Rou, unfortunately.
"And?" Jin Rou raised his brow.
"Don't you know Emperor Thacker?" Anderson spoke, "He is our Emperor! You really don't want to mess with him or else your family and its coming generations will not have a good fate!"
Compared to the lower cabins' Emperors, the Emperors of higher cabins were much stronger. That's also the reason why some lower Emperors try to cross the boundaries of low and high. But of course, not all were lucky.
And Emperor Thacker was a brilliant emperor of this era. He participated a Grand Scheme and took the Grand Title and the rewards for himself and his family.
Currently, he was said to be seclusion to find answers about his deep questions about life.
"All right, your Emperor is amazing, but the offsprings are not." Jin Rou sighed, "With such brilliance of his, why didn't you inherit it?"
"Are you telling me I'm stupid?" Anderson gritted his teeth. He was still feeling the heavy weights on his back.
"I'm not telling you. You really are stupid." Jin Rou said and sat on Anderson's back which made the latter growl, "Now now, if you want to be freed from the weights, you have to pay 300 charms."
"300 charms?" Anderson almost puked blood, "I just asked for a hundred and you're tripling it?"
"Yes, I'm tripling it and you cannot do anything about it but pay." Jin Rou smiled while putting more weight on Anderson.
Anderson felt his blood rising up. The other party was toying him but he couldn't do something about it. And pay 300 charms? Although he was a young master of a prestigious family, this amount was still huge.
"I don't have that kind of amount on me." Anderson spoke softly. He didn't have the haughtiness he had a while ago.
"Don't make me laugh." Jin Rou slapped Anderson's neck and said, "You have quite a number of victims for the years you're doing this and you're telling me you don't have that kind of silly amount?"
It was obvious that Anderson was so used in bullying weak people. So it wasn't believable that he didn't have 300 charms on him.
Anderson bit his lip and answered, "I usually give it to my parents to help run the family."
"Paw!" Jin Rou slapped the other party's neck again, "Another bullshit. Try it one more time and I'll break your back, making you bedridden for a few years. Try me."
Jin Rou's patience was wearing thin. He didn't have all the time to play with this brat.
Being scared out of his wits, Anderson took 300 charms immediately from his space pouch.
"No longer 300. Another 200 charms for the inconvenience fee." Jin Rou commanded.
Anderson felt his body weakening after hearing that. 500 charms was all he had. But unfortunately, he didn't have a choice but to give his whole money to the other party.
"Now, that's better." Jin Rou chuckled and stood up, removing the weights on Anderson, "Now, come with us."
"What?" Anderson wanted to flee but it's no use running from this expert, "You have already dried me, and you still want me?"
"Don't put it into words that could be misunderstood." Jin Rou felt his head ache from the words and said, "You come with us for the betterment of yourself."
"What does it mean?" Anderson was suspicious. If he was a bad guy, this man in front of him was way worse than him! A person that shouldn't be trusted.
"Seeing you are waiting for victims here in this hidden alley, I guess you are familiar with this place." Jin Rou said, "If you can take us to Imperial Throne, I will set you free."
"You want to go to that dangerous place?" Anderson was taken aback, "If you wish to die, I don't! I'm too young to die yet!"
The Imperial Throne was a powerhouse that no one was permitted to get close or near. They were located in a place faraway from the vicinity of the city.
Since they were very secretive, they didn't usually interact with people outside. In fact, the last time people saw someone coming out of the Imperial Throne was already a hundred of thousands years ago. No one knew why they were like this, but many assumed that they were recuperating or trying to recover their losses of the past.
The guards of the throne were deployed in all parts surrounding it, to prevent people from nearing it. Anyone who wouldn't be taken by warnings would be shot dead regardless of their statuses.
And now, Anderson was going there accompanying the duo? He didn't want to commit suicide! He had so many plans to complete before leaving this life of his.
"Do you have a choice?" Sylvianna finally intervened and choke Anderson by the collar, "Choose between the two. Do it or die here. Simple. I'll give you three seconds."
"Okay, fine! Let's die together!" Anderson was horrified by the eyes of the little girl. She was small but she's able to lift him up without difficulties. He was really afraid that he'd die earlier than expected.
His father would be so angry once he got news of this. Ah, anyway he didn't even know yet if he would make it back alive.
After falling into resignation, Anderson lead the way to the Imperial Throne. He was a total outside guy so he knew the twists and turns needed to go there albeit he never dared to touch the boundaries of the powerhouse.
After a few hours of walking, it's already evening here. The concept of morning and evening applied to this world, too.
Anderson faced the two and gave a final warning.
