Armipotent

Chapter 2137: You Can Try

Clementine and Arion had a headache in handling Tang Shaoyang. The worst part was that their status was equal, so they could not order Tang Shaoyang around with their superior status.

It would be easier for them to order Tang Shaoyang to meet with the Hurakan Kingdom’s representatives if they had the authority over Tang Shaoyang, but they didn’t.

Arion felt like this was the hardest job of the year already, mediating two troublesome sides. He expected Tang Shaoyang to cooperate, considering the Tang Empire made a lot of enemies.

Tang Shaoyang should not add the Hurakan Kingdom to his enemy list. That was why he was doing his best to mediate for Tang Shaoyang, but again, his act of kindness was seen as unnecessary. It seemed like the four spirits were worth a lot for Tang Shaoyang to go this far.

"What do you want to do now?"

Arion turned toward Clementine, giving up persuading Tang Shaoyang, "If it’s up to me. I will just tell the Hurakan Kingdom what he told us." He had his thumb pointed at Tang Shaoyang, "But the decision is yours."

"Why? Can’t you just contract more spirits? Why don’t you want to please the Hurakan Kingdom? For what you had done for them. The Hurakan Kingdom might lend you a hand when the God Order and the Nirvana Alliance come to you once their punishment is over."

Valeria Meloda voiced her thoughts. She wanted to help Clementine convince Tang Shaoyang, but she was genuinely curious why Tang Shaoyang didn’t want to release four spirits.

She heard some rumors about Tang Shaoyang and how he had an army of spirits. If it were truly just four spirits, it would not hurt to release them just to gain a favor from the Hurakan Kingdom.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Do I need their favor? No. I don’t need their help to take care of my problem."

"Or we can force you to release those four spirits!" Ebbe Telines had a different idea. He was in agreement with using force against Tang Shaoyang to appease the Hurakan Kingdom.

He was not afraid of the Hurakan Kingdom. What he wanted was to pay for the humiliation and teach his insolent junior. It was a senior duty to teach a junior, after all.

"Yes, you can try," Tang Shaoyang smiled, sounding excited as his eyes met Ebbe Telines’ eyes.

Of course, it was not the fight that excited him, but this fight would give him pivotal information. The result of the fight would tell him his position in the God Realm, how strong he was when he put himself in the God Realm. He wanted to know that, finding out his limit, so he could find a clear direction to grow stronger.

At this point, he just took whatever he deemed interesting and powerful. That was the reason why he picked the Shepherd of Beast Spirit and the God of Martial. He didn’t know that was a good direction to pick.

He picked Martial Arts of God to learn a variety of skills to make himself unpredictable. The Shepherd of Beast was a safe choice that would make him stronger over time with the bonus stat he got from his pets. There was a possibility that he might have an army of Beast Spirits in the future, even though he had no plan for that as of now.

That was why he was happy that Ebbe Telines wanted to fight him. It would be better if Clementine joined, too. He wanted to try to fight an Ancient Monster. Arion deemed Clementine one of the strongest Executive Administrators, and he wanted to try her.

Tang Shaoyang didn’t say what was on his mind. He was annoyed with their interference, but they recognized their goodwill. They were doing this with goodwill in mind. That was the case for Clementine and Arion, but he didn’t know about Ebbe Telines and Valeria Meloda.

From his perspective, they looked like two people who were scared of the Hurakan Kingdom instead of trying to help him out in goodwill. Valeria didn’t show it, but Ebbe Telines was pressuring him to listen to the Hurakan Kingdom’s demand.

"That’s enough!" Clementine raised her voice, and her aura was leaking out at the same time.

"We have lost another Executive Administrator, and I don’t want to lose another one!"

She implied that one of them would die if they fought, but didn’t specify who would die.

Ebbe Telines assumed Clementine was talking about Tang Shaoyang. That was the logical explanation because Tang Shaoyang was a new God Rank. Meanwhile, he forgot when he first stepped into the God Rank. On top of that, he had become Executive Administrator for over three hundred years.

"I don’t think he will die so easily, no? And I simply can’t die. Sometimes it’s good to release some stress, and a friendly fight will help." Tang Shaoyang said in an earnest tone, not trying to mock Ebbe Telines.

He was talking about his skill, Seven Souls, when he said he could not die. He didn’t mean to say that Ebbe was not capable of killing him. They could not find that out unless they fought. And he still had five spare lives, so he couldn’t die.

He purposely did not elaborate because he didn’t want them to find out about that skill. However, Ebbe Telines took it as a provocation, meaning he was not capable of killing Tang Shaoyang.

Ebbe Telines stood up from his chair, but Clementine glared at him. The words he was about to say stuck in his throat. He looked at Arion, and the latter shrugged.

"Leave if you are here to pick a fight, Ebbe!"

Tang Shaoyang smiled, realizing that his words could come off as a mockery even though he didn’t mean it. He was not going to elaborate or explain, as it involved his skill. That might make it worse. However, he didn’t realize that even his smile was seen as a provocation.

Ebbe Telines took a deep breath and returned to his seat. His sharp gaze lingered on Tang Shaoyang, but he didn’t say anything for the rest of the meeting.

"What about you meeting them and talking it out with them instead? I will be there with you as well," Clementine thought the matter would be resolved more quickly if Tang Shaoyang met the Hurakan Kingdom’s people.

"I can meet them, but not now. I can’t leave the Sacred Realm for too long, especially when you let the guy related to the Heaven Founder escape."

Tang Shaoyang just realized that the situation in the Sacred Realm might take a drastic change if an ex-Executive Administrator truly hid in the Sacred Realm.

The Heaven Founder slowed down with their plan because they lost a Supreme Guardian right from the start. Then he stopped them from taking the Ice Palace. Those two events put the Heaven Founder in shambles.

With an ex-Executive Administrator with them, the Heaven Founder had become much stronger. The Heaven Founder might try to kill the Murim Alliance Leader directly and start to take over from there. That might be possible if Alderman Fiodor was involved.

"When can you meet them?" Clementine didn’t press it since Tang Shaoyang agreed to meet the Hurakan Kingdom.

"I don’t know. After I finish my business in the Sacred Realm. Things are getting more complicated with Alderman’s involvement."

Clementine wanted to say something until she noticed a change in Tang Shaoyang’s facial expression. It looked like Tang Shaoyang was talking to someone in his head. It didn’t look like he was reading a message.

"Okay, do you have anything else to discuss with me? I have to leave now."

"You just got here... What happens?" Clementine asked, wanting to know what happened in the Sacred Realm. If it involved Alderman Fiodor, then she wanted to get involved. She wanted to deliver the punishment for the traitor.

It was better to kill Alderman now than to let him join the Void Cult. One of the emperors of the Void Cult was also a former Executive Administrator. She could not let them make contact, so it was better to kill Alderman.

"Nothing serious or urgent. Just something interesting is happening, and I need to return now if you don’t have anything to discuss with me anymore."

Clementine wanted to talk more about the issue with the Hurakan Kingdom. They took the issue seriously because the Hurakan Kingdom had an important role in defending the God Realm. It was the best move to avoid conflict between the Administrator and the Hurakan Kingdom.

She wanted to discuss the compensation in detail, wanting to persuade him to listen to the Hurakan Kingdom’s demand. She didn’t expect such a strong reaction from Tang Shaoyang.

Clementine had the same thought as Valeria and Ebbe, thinking that Tang Shaoyang had many spirits, so it would not hurt him to release a few spirits under him with an appropriate compensation, but it seemed she was wrong about it.

Clementine turned toward Arion, asking him whether he had more to discuss. The latter shook his head.

"I would like to resolve the problem right away, but it’s fine since you have agreed to talk with them. We can resolve this at a later date," She waved at Tang Shaoyang, "You can go back to the Sacred Realm, and if you have any trouble with the Alderman, don’t hesitate to call us."

"I don’t think he needs our help to take care of Alderman, but yeah, hit me up if you are in trouble. Since this is considered my job as well, I am not going to ask you anything for my service," Arion winked at Tang Shaoyang.
