Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 297 - The Mad Emperor’s Innate Ability.



Looking at the timid and frightened expression on the officials\' faces, the Mad Emperor couldn\'t help but sigh with a disappointing look on his face.

The main reason that he had invited all of the most powerful officials of the Verid Empire to greet Ling Chen was a way to show him respect as a Paragon realm expert. Ordinary grand characters would never receive such a big gesture.

Furthermore, he wanted to show off and give him a glance at the power and the influence of his mighty Verid Empire as he had planned on recruiting him and roping him into the empire after verifying his identity and background.

As for Ling Chen\'s carefree and nonchalant attitude, he wasn\'t bothered or surprised by it in the least. After all, he was still a Paragon Realm expert.

He was an existence that stood at the apex and the peak of the Omega Galaxy as well as the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe. An existence like that would never bow or show respect to anyone weaker than them unless one could earn it.

After a while, the Mad Emperor shifted his gaze toward Ling Chen and said." Thank you for your benevolence, Mr. Chen."

Listening to the Mad Emperor\'s words, Ling Chen didn\'t say anything. He merely smiled at him.

Nonetheless, the Mad Emperor didn\'t stop there as he added." Mr.Chen, I was born with an innate ability known as Insight. It\'s an ability that allows me to see the essence of any object or a person."

"Everything I am today is because of that ability. This Insight ability has saved my lives more times than I can count."

"My Insight power allows me to see the truth which is why I could analyze and act accordingly in any situation. Whether it was when I\'m fighting in a war or doing a simple negotiation, this ability has never failed me."

"However, for some reason, I cannot see through Mr.Chen at all"

Indeed, Mad Emperor was telling the truth. His Insight innate ability wasn\'t a secret. Any experienced warrior or influential people in the Verid Empire and even the whole Omega Galaxy knew about that his Insight innate ability.

It was because of that ability that it was also given the nickname Combat God and Gambling God when he was young. It was because of that ability that he has also become one of the greatest emperors in the history of the Verid Empire.

The main reason that he was confident about recruiting Ling Chen even before meeting him was also because of that ability. However, after seeing Ling Chen in person, he realized that his Insight ability was useless against him.

He couldn\'t see anything at all. Even though Ling Chen was right in front of him, the Mad Emperor felt as though he was in another dimension. It was as if the person in front of him was an illusion. He could not sense his presence at all.

If it wasn\'t for the fact he was sure that Ling Chen was right there in front of him or the fact that he had just attacked one of the officials with his red demonic eye, he would have thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

However, that wasn\'t all. He was always proud of his Insight ability. However, after seeing Ling Chen\'s pair of eyes today, he realized just how conceited he was.

The moment Ling Chen fixated his gaze onto him, he felt as though he was stripped naked. Not only physically but spiritually as well. He felt as though his soul and mind were laid bare before his eyes which frightened him.

Aside from that, the Mad Emperor also realized that Ling Chen\'s pair of eyes were the antithesis of each other. One was pure as the driven snow, filled with benevolence and holiness.

It was as if one could be freed from all sins by just looking into that eye while the other one gave the feeling as though it was the gate of Hell itself and the bringer of death. It gave the impression that it had no respect for life.

Before that eye, all in this world became trivial; the heaven and earth were meaningless and all existences were mere dogs!

The emperor was not only smart but also someone who knew when to advance and retreat even though he acted crazy sometimes.

After seeing that his Insight ability didn\'t work on Ling Chen as well as the frightening power of his demonic eye, he understood that Ling Chen wasn\'t someone to mess with.

Every fiber of his being was warning him about him, feeling him that this man was extremely dangerous.

"Not many people can see through me, so don\'t mind it." Ling Chen nonchalantly responded.

"Well, since you wanted to meet me, let us not waste any time walking in circles. Get straight to the point and tell me what do you want from me." Ling Chen added.

Hearing Ling Chen\'s direct questions, the emperor didn\'t quickly answer him. He pondered for a moment before speaking." First of all, I wanted to thank Mr.Chen for killing the man that had shamed my Verid Empire and killed countless of our loyal soldiers before stealing one of our battleships."

"Secondly, I wanted to see what kinda person was Mr.Chen. Also, I had planned on recruiting you into our Verid Empire after verifying your identity and background."

At this moment, the Mad Emperor didn\'t dare to lie or hide his true motive in front of Ling Chen anymore.

Even though he might not be able to recruit him anymore, he still wanted to have a good relation with him.

The reason that the Verid Empire was considered the weakest of the Ten Behemoths was because they had only one Paragon Realm expert.

Though he has been stuck into the Semi-Paragon realm for over two hundred years, there\'s still no sign of a breakthrough.

To make matters worst, their Paragon Realm expert was extremely old and was almost at the end of his lifespan. As such, they were in urgent need of a new Paragon Realm expert otherwise the Verid Empire would fall from the rank of the Ten Behemoths.

Furthermore, they had many enemies which were patiently waiting for their Guardian to fall to make their move. Even though the Verid Empire was now very peaceful and flourishing, they were in fact in great danger.
