Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 384: Imperial Clan Director

Alina’s beautiful brows furrowed as she replied, "I do not know what you are talking about."

Mason harrumphed. "Don’t try to play dumb. Back then, in the Bluefield Country, wasn’t it the human traveling with you who used despicable methods to scheme against the eighth brother, causing him to remain unconscious even now?"

Sharky’s group looked at each other in dismay. They all saw the confusion in each other’s eyes. Because Sharky hadn’t beaten Lucas quite badly back then. So, it shouldn’t have been possible that he should be unconscious?

And if there was some problem, then it was not from them.

Alina had similar thoughts. She said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "That was a fair, decisive battle between both parties. And it was even in front of Bluefiend Country Leader."

"Furthermore, even though Lucas was injured in that battle, it should not have been to the extent that he is still unconscious. As for why that is the case, I suggest you ask your eldest brother."

Liam exclaimed furiously, "What is the meaning of this? You actually dare to drive a wedge between us brothers?!"

Jaden stopped him from moving forward. He cupped his hands toward Alina and said, "Medusa Queen, we are acting courteous toward you out of consideration for your status as a queen. As long as you hand over that human, we will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise..."

His implied threat was clear.

Alina was a bit upset. If they were to really compare status, these Lion race princes were all her juniors.

And yet, they actually dared to speak to her that way! Still, she endured it in the end and said, "The one you spoke of is my husband. So, there is not any chance that I will step back."

She didn’t fear these little lions; although she is worried that Fiend King Court still wants to trouble Sharky, how can she accept it? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Jaden glowered and said, "Medusa Queen, we’ve already shown you enough sincerity. Don’t you think you’re being too unappreciative?"

Alina’s expression turned cold and she replied, "I am the ruler of a clan, someone who is on the level of your father. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?"

Liam roared with laughter, saying, "Respect isn’t something won by relying on glib lips. I’m already giving you quite a bit of face by calling you Medusa Queen."

"Your cultivation hasn’t even reached the master rank, while our Lion race has many individuals stronger than you. Even someone like you still want to consider yourself on par with my father?"

Three of the brothers had arrived this time. Apart from the seventh brother Mason, who was only at the ninth rank, Liam and his third brother Jaden were both at the master rank.

The riders that accompanied them were all carefully selected elites from the clan as well, so they naturally didn’t need to worry about a mere ninth rank Medusa Queen.

Alina’s expression turned cold. The fiend races had always been unreasonable; to them, the one with the biggest fist was right.

She had half a mind to teach the insolent Lion Race princes a lesson. Her Medusa Eye was special, as its power couldn’t be judged by cultivation rank alone.

Just then, a figure jumped out of the carriage and said, "Alina, kings should face kings, while generals should face generals. Only if the Lion King personally came would it be worth your personal interference. Why would these minor characters need you to step in personally?Don’t mind these jokers."

Alina grinned when she saw Sharky. This guy... He’s always so good at taunting others.

Sure enough, the Lion ace princes’ expressions turned grim. They yelled, "Where did this scoundrel come from? State your name!"

"Listen up, I am the guy who you were asking for, husband of Medusa Queen, and King of Snake Tribe, Sharky! You dared to treat my queen with disrespect, so I will make sure you pay dearly for it!" Sharky shouted.

Alina blushed, thinking, What ’my queen’?

Inside the carriage, Diana also chuckled, "He always knows how to taunt others."

Charlotte also nodded with her, in the beginning he also taunted her many times.

"So what, even if you are the husband of Medusa, still you need to face punishment for attacking our brother," Seventh Prince Mason shouted back at him. "You aren’t qualified to face us."

Then, he pointed at one of the clan’s generals. That person was at the peak of the eighth rank, and he had always acted valiantly.

In Mason’s opinion, he was already enough to defeat the talent-starved Snake race. The Snake race’s queen was only at the ninth rank, and their two elders were only around the eighth or ninth rank. How strong could the rest even be?

The Lion race general wanted to show off in front of the three princes. At the same time, when he saw how pretty the Medusa Queen was, his male instincts made him want to show off his strength even more.

As such, he slammed his fist toward Sharky, intending to eliminate him immediately.

However, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he discovered that he had been sent flying.

How?! he thought just before fainting. Then, he slammed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Inside the carriage, Diana nodded and said, "This guy is starting to look more and more like a proper master. His choice of timing and strength is something not even the two of us might be able to surpass."

"He has been fighting exceptionally strong opponents all this time, constantly wandering along the brink of life and death. His real strength far exceeds that of his peers," Charlotte added, also feeling a bit of admiration.

The three Lion race princes looked at Sharky with serious expressions. Everything had happened so quickly that they hadn’t even seen what was going on.

Jaden suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your strength shows that you are capable of hurting our eighth brother?"

"Yes, so what? Can you be able to face me?"

Sharky said in a disdainful tone, looking at them..

The seventh prince, Mason, was full of youthful vigor and couldn’t sit still anymore, seeing his disdainful expression. He shouted at him, "You are just an annoying guy, nothing more than that. This prince will teach you a proper lesson."

He was just about to act when someone shouted from a distance, "Who dares to cause trouble in the Fiend King Court?!"

Then, a troop of riders rushed over. Unlike the crude and tattered outfits of the ordinary fiends on the way, these riders were dressed in golden armor. Their helmet, sleeves, and belts all had a Golden Crow insignia on them.

"Golden Crow Guards?" Alina muttered with a frown. When the Golden Crow Crown Prince had come to the Snake race territory, he had been escorted by similar golden-armored warriors. Of course, those warriors had been slightly higher ranked. Still, those who could dress that way near the Fiend King Court could only be the Fiend Emperor’s imperial guards.

The one in the lead looked quite young. He was dressed in bright blue clothes, with a dark golden belt around his waist, and his hair was meticulously combed.

His appearance made him look quite refined, but his long and slender eyes made him seem a bit unapproachable.

Jaden reacted quickly and shouted first. "Sir Imperial Clan Director has come at an excellent time. These people have disregarded the Fiend Emperor’s prohibition and actually dared to openly attack our subordinate in the Fiend King Court’s surroundings! I ask for sir to bring justice in our place!"

Alina panicked and said, "This sir over here, please do not listen to their one-sided..."

She was cut off impatiently by the official before she could even finish speaking. "Does this official need to be reminded of how to do my job?"

The person looked refined, but when he opened his mouth and spoke, his teeth were completely black, making his appearance seem eerie.

Sharky frowned. He had been able to tell for some time that this person’s attitude toward them wasn’t that friendly.

After all, considering Alina’s stunning appearance, most men would subconsciously become a bit kinder when they saw her, wanting to leave her with a better impression. Such treatment could only mean that the two sides shared a grudge.

The fact that the man could reach the position of Imperial Clan Director at his age meant his family background must be excellent.

Huh? Wait a second. An Imperial Clan Director who manages the imperial clan’s children?

Just then, Soni told Sharky through Ki transmission, "This Imperial Clan Director is named Ellis Colebrook. His father is the court’s Grand Secretary Dale Colebrook. Apart from that, he has another identity, which is the country’s maternal uncle. His younger sister is the Fiend Emperor’s first empress, and the crown prince was born to that first empress."

Sharky thought to himself, No wonder. He had defeated the Golden Crow Crown Prince, causing his prestige to plummet. How could the prince’s in-laws be happy about that? So, he came for revenge.

Wait, since there’s a first empress, doesn’t that mean there’s a second empress?

Still, now wasn’t the time to be asking those kinds of questions.

Ellis gave the area a casual glance, then said with a cold expression, "The Fiend Emperor has issued an order forbidding fights between the different clans. You actually dare to publicly go against this order? Men, arrest him and throw him into prison."

"Understood!" the Golden Crow Guards replied, stepping out to arrest Sharky.

Sharky said gravely, "Your honor hasn’t even asked any questions before deciding on an arrest. I fear this won’t be enough to convince the masses."

"And who are you?" Ellis asked, giving him a sidelong glance. The black teeth in his mouth were especially striking. No wonder their surname was Colebrook. It really was fitting!

The Lion race’s representatives said with a smile, "He is the person who injured the Golden Crow Crown Prince, and husband of Medusa Queen."

Ellis sneered. ’So this was the guy who fought with my nephew.’

He said, "Even if you are the Medusa Queen’s husband. You are nobody here, there is no room for you to speak in a conversation between high ranking officers like us."

Sharky’s expression turned cold. This guy really needed a good beating! After all, he even dared to beat up the Golden Crow Crown Prince, let alone some shoddy Imperial Clan Director.

He was just about to act when a group of riders sped over and a voice called out. "Which bastard dared to hurt my big brother? Do you dare to fight against me?!"

As soon as the voice spoke, a group of soldiers quickly arrived. Unlike Ellis’s troops, who flickered with golden radiance, the second group was covered entirely in black armor. Furthermore, their bodies emanated a powerful vicious aura, clearly honed on the battlefield.

The one in the lead wore a large black cloak, with a black and gold crow embroidered on his clothes. He was eight feet tall with a stalwart figure. His appearance was grand and majestic, and the strong horse he rode made his presence seem even more extraordinary.

Sharky’s expression turned serious. This person’s aura was powerful; he was clearly already at the master rank. Furthermore, he didn’t seem to be weaker than the Golden Crow Crown Prince he had fought before.

In the human world, he had always heard that the fiend races were in decline. Now that he had seen it, though, he knew that the younger generation was full of incredibly outstanding figures.

Even though the grandmasters Charlotte and Diana had explained to him that it was due to their bloodline inheritance, and that there was an upper bound to the number of true cultivators, Sharky saw that they weren’t few in number at all. Would that end up being a great disaster for the human race?
