Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 935 - 936: Secret Meeting

4/5

-Sky City.

In the huge conference room of the central castle, two figures were sitting opposite each other. Apart from these two figures, there was no one else in the spacious conference room, exuding an oppressive and solemn atmosphere.

One of the two figures was the noble existence second only to one person in the current Church Nation, the Prime Minister - Zuoben.

After gently blowing on the steaming hot tea in the cup, Zuoben took a small sip.

"Good tea. It seems that the Mayor’s tea-brewing skills are indeed excellent."

While speaking words of praise, Zuoben slowly raised his head and directed his gaze forward. And there, an extraordinary white-haired woman was elegantly holding a teacup, savoring the rich aroma of the tea.

Her features were exquisite, like a water goddess.

Her ocean-blue eyes were bright and spirited, her brows were well-defined, dimples faintly appeared on her cheeks, and her beauty was unparalleled. The sunlight shining directly into the conference room from outside made her skin appear even more crystal clear and soft like jade.

The white-haired woman was wearing a golden gauze dress with white lace embroidered on the sleeves, a double-layered milky white gauze collar at the neck, intricate and delicate. A pure white silk sash was tied around her waist, making her figure appear slender and delicate. The creamy skin visible when she swung her sleeves was as fragrant as an orchid. A pair of sapphire agate earrings hung by her ears, crystal clear, and a sparkling silver diamond necklace adorned her swan-like neck. On her jade-like fingers, there were as many as six expensive magic rings. The moment one saw these decorations and magic items, the white-haired woman’s elegance was displayed to perfection.

Upon hearing Zuoben’s compliment, the corners of the white-haired woman’s mouth curled up slightly, responding with an elegant and sweet smile.

Slowly putting down the teacup in her hand, "Thank you for your praise, Prime Minister."

"Hmm, you really do look like a lady. It seems that Lord Mayor truly has a talent for being a woman."

"..."

At these words, the white-haired girl’s movements instantly stiffened, and she glared at Zuoben with some displeasure.

"Please don’t mention this matter, Prime Minister."

"Ah, sorry, sorry, Lord Mayor. Or would you prefer me to address you as Lord Son of Destiny?"

Zuoben said with a hint of playfulness.

Faced with such teasing, the white-haired girl, or rather, Miss Asar, gave the other party a white eye without a second word.

"Don’t call me that. The current me... is unworthy."

Asar couldn’t help but sigh and lowered her head to look at her ample bosom, her words filled with an indescribable sense of sorrow and sadness.

The current her was not worthy of being called the Son of Destiny at all.

Because her son had vanished without a trace.

In the past few years, in order to conceal her identity, Asar had purchased many pills from that swindler that could temporarily change her gender. Indeed, those pills helped her deceive the people of the Black Rose family, but they also brought her a huge side effect. That was, after taking them for a while... she could no longer change back…

That’s right, the current Asar, even without taking the pills, still had this sexy and hot young girl’s body.

This was perhaps the side effect of that drug?

That damn swindler!

There was such a big side effect, yet she didn’t even tell me?! She definitely wanted to watch the show!

Thinking of that fox lady, Asar became so angry that she couldn’t help but bite her lip hard, wishing she could pin that prankster to the ground and give her a good rubbing to avenge her son’s soul in heaven. In fact, Asar did indeed take action for this goal. After becoming the Lord of Sky City with the help of the Black Rose family, Asar used Sky City’s power to start searching for the whereabouts of that fox lady across the entire continent.

Trying to find her for revenge, or rather, to find out how to remove the drug’s effects.

Unfortunately, after several years, she still had no clues. That stinky fox had vanished as if she had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace at all. To the point that Asar was also forced to give up the idea of getting her son back and reluctantly spent a few years as a girl.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, where the hell is that dead fox... where, where, where..."

Watching Asar with such a gloomy face and starting to mutter to herself, Zuoben sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, don’t be like this, Lord Mayor. Think on the bright side. If it weren’t for that Miss Fox’s drug, could you have deceived the Black Rose family? How could they possibly give you freedom and let you manage this vast Sky City? Moreover, after losing desires in that aspect, hasn’t your cultivation speed become even faster?"

"Phew, when you put it that way, that’s true."

Asar nodded in agreement.

If her identity as the Son of Destiny was discovered by those black-hearted fellows of the Black Rose family, she would have probably died from suicide with a shot in the back long ago. Being able to live until now, in a sense, was also thanks to that Miss Fox.

This was perhaps the so-called blessing in disguise.

Thinking like this, Asar gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Zuoben smiled faintly.

"Specially calling me over, it shouldn’t be just for drinking tea, right?"

"What else can we do if not drink tea?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Nominally, we are a neutral force. Isn’t the Church Nation currently having some friction with Holy Lomari and the Sadik Empire? So, the Black Rose Duke asked me to come and sound you out under the pretext of diplomatic defense, and also to find out about the situation of the Black Rose family spy who was caught. The problem is, I already know all this, so what’s there to ask? There’s even less to sound out."

"I see."

Zuoben nodded in understanding.

"So that’s how it is. So Lord Mayor inviting me over is just for show, to let the Black Rose family see."

"That’s right. So what else can we do if not drink tea?"

"Then does Lord Mayor know how to explain to the Black Rose family?"

"Don’t worry, I have a plan for this."

Asar responded with full confidence.

"That’s good then."

Saying that, Zuoben looked around with a sense of emotion and gazed into the distance through the conference room window, taking in the prosperous urban landscape.

"It seems that Sky City has been basically restored."

Since the Anvika Holy War six years ago, the main participating forces, such as the Holy Tower and the Red Leaf Royal Family, had almost lost all their main forces. Although Sky City was hit by its own main cannon, thanks to the lightning particle shield, only half of the area was blasted into the void and did not directly perish. On the contrary, Sky City even benefited from the misfortune. The squad that fell far away was able to stay away from the main battlefield and was not completely devoured by the rampaging Bloody Butterfly.

Due to the main personnel and high-ranking members being almost wiped out by Yumo, with the assistance of the Black Rose family, Asar quickly took over Sky City as the heir.

After six years of restoration and development, Sky City gradually returned to the level of a quasi-first-rate force.

"Yes, it’s basically restored."

Following Zuoben’s gaze and looking at the prosperous city, the sight of the past ruins and broken walls involuntarily entered Asar’s eyes, making her thoughts filled with emotion.

"What’s the internal situation in Sky City now? Do you need my help? When the time comes, I’ll have to rely on your main cannon. That main cannon is useless against Yumo, but it’s more than enough to deal with her children."

"There’s no need for that."

Asar shook her head, directly rejecting Zuoben’s suggestion.

"Although I don’t know what exactly happened, this body of mine seems to be the child of Sky City’s old Lord. The folks in Sky City are extremely respectful to me. No one dares to rebel. More importantly... I am very strong now."

Unlike six years ago, at this moment, Asar revealed a very confident smile and slowly raised her hand to make a fist in front of Zuoben.

In an instant, as if to verify her words, surging sapphire magic power gushed out from her palm. A terrifying oppressive feeling immediately enveloped the conference room. The walls cracked, the glass shattered, and the ground began to tremble incessantly. The terrifying magic power symbolizing a peak 8th-level expert began to rampage wantonly.

Faced with such fluctuations, existences below the 7th level would probably have their souls shattered on the spot.

Even with the protection of the barrier, the Church Nation knights and Sky City guards outside the barrier still couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, trembling.

Only after a few seconds, when Asar retracted her power, did the disturbance gradually subside.

"Do you think there’s anyone in Sky City now who dares to oppose me?"

"Indeed, it seems I asked a very foolish question."

"My side is absolutely foolproof. The people of Sky City witnessed the slaughter back then. They all hate the Abyssal Demons and can’t wait to take revenge. With my management and restraint, they will surely become a powerful force."

Saying that, Asar instead cast a suspicious gaze at Zuoben.

"On the contrary, for you guys, that woman suddenly came back. Isn’t your plan all messed up? Can it still proceed smoothly?"

"It’s not really messed up. We’ve already considered this situation. The main problem isn’t this."

"Hmm? Then what is it?"

"Enmm, the Goddess."

"What’s wrong with the Goddess?"

Raising his hands to support his chin and assuming a contemplative posture, Zuoben seriously met Asar’s eyes.

"To be honest, this problem is quite serious."

"Wh-what’s the matter?"

"I feel that the Goddess is about to be taken away by Bloody Butterfly."

"What???"
