Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 423: Face To Face

There was someone else who was just as worried as him. In a tower of the imperial palace stood a beautiful individual dressed in palace clothes. She had a fiery red fur coat draped over her shoulders, and the white snow and cold winds surrounding her made her seem even more elegant and stunning.

Many guards secretly snuck looks at her. Even though they knew that was a huge offense, the Second Empress was just too beautiful, so beautiful that they couldn’t even shift their gazes away.

The Second Empress didn’t have her usual charming and flirtatious smile. Her brow was slightly furrowed, as if there were dark clouds shrouding her mind.

"There was such a huge disturbance. Could it be that he succeeded?" the Second Empress muttered nervously to herself.

She had previously planted trusted aides among the guards around the Imperial Tomb. If the plan bore results, she would have immediately received the news.

However, the Fiend Emperor had rushed over, so all news had been sealed off. She had no way of finding out what was happening in the Imperial Tomb at all.

"With that brat’s strength, there really is a chance that he succeeded. But after the Fiend Emperor went over, did he get caught?" the Second Empress muttered worriedly.

However, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, if he can get caught, then it is. I didn’t care about him."

She muttered, but then thinking about Sharky, his daring, his attitude, she can’t help but start worrying about him. Afterall, for the first time in her life, she felt the love.

Unlike those two individuals with sinister designs, the other forces’ analyses were a bit closer to the truth.

Magnus and Shera both looked in the direction of the Imperial Tomb from where they lived. They thought to themselves, Why was there such a huge eruption of ki from the Imperial Tomb?

Even though the Imperial Tomb was located in a place with excellent feng shui, it was still a tomb in the end. Normally, it would be full of a deathly aura and shouldn’t have contained such rich life force and ki.

In the Golden Peng King Manor, its current master, the Little Golden Peng King, was enjoying some wine in a gazebo. He looked at the Imperial Tomb and said, "There seem to be intense elemental forces in the air. Could it be that some kind of secret dungeon has been opened? But why would such a dungeon appear in the Imperial Tomb?"

In the Elf King Manor, Qiao Xueying couldn’t sit still. In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t care about the manor’s people trying to stop her and left.

At that point, she couldn’t be bothered to worry about the crown prince’s surveillance. The activity by the Imperial Tomb gave her a bad premonition. She had to visit the Snake race’s manor to confirm Sharky’s safety.

---

So many people outside were making guesses and feeling worried, but Sharky himself was even more alarmed. He worried that the Fiend Emperor would instantly kill the women around him if they said anything wrong.

Alina was one thing; as she was a clan leader, her death would have bad effects. However, Charlotte and Diana didn’t have similar statuses to protect them.

Due to his worries, he immediately said, "Fiend Emperor, this Lady Charlotte excels in rune formation skills, so she can provide help in the Unknown Region. This Lady Diana is good at... is good at..."

He was a bit at a loss. He couldn’t say Diana was good at killing, right? Even if he did, how could she compare to the Fiend Emperor? He definitely couldn’t say she was good at seduction arts.

Diana harrumphed. "Brat, you don’t need to speak up for me. So what if I die? There’s no way I’ll bow down to another, anyway."

Diana was not worried about this, even though she wasn’t a match for the Fiend Emperor, she could still make sure the Fiend Emperor paid the price.

"As expected of Sect Master Diana, your heroic spirit is not inferior to any man," the Fiend Emperor replied, roaring with laughter. His voice made the others’ hearts tremble.

"You recognize me?" Diana exclaimed in surprise.

"I met you once on the battlefield. At my level, I would not forget someone, even after only meeting them once," the Fiend Emperor said. He looked at Charlotte and continued, "If I am not mistaken, this is Sect Master Charlotte, no? How surprising. All of the intelligence I gathered stated the two of you are mortal enemies. Why do you two look like sisters here?"

Charlotte was alarmed, exclaiming, "Who is her sister?!" She didn’t fear death, but she didn’t want to put it on the same plate as Diana.

Charlotte and Diana were both alarmed. After all, they hadn’t fought the Fiend Emperor, but rather let the human emperor keep him in check. They hadn’t expected him to have actually noticed the two of them all the way over in a corner of the battlefield. The soul of an earth immortal really was terrifyingly powerful!

Off to the side, the smiling Wendy looked at the two women. Sect Master Charlotte and Sect Master Diana, and they were arch-enemies... Could it be those two?

He was horrified. Then, he looked at Sharky with an admiring gaze. Just how had this guy done it? Other fickle men could only raise some pretty fish in their pond, and yet this guy had actually raised two massive sharks?!

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was shocked and overjoyed. It turned out that it wasn’t that he was useless, but rather that he had been facing two grandmasters!

The most important part was that both of them were stunning. If he could subdue them, whether in terms of his personal harem or action against the human race, it would be an incredibly beautiful thing!

He had initially thought that they were both Sharky’s women, but when he learned of their identities, he knew there was no way they would have that kind of relationship with Sharky.

Thus, their bodies and minds were both pure. That perfectly met his standard for women. He felt absolutely amazing when he thought about that.

Afterward, the Fiend Emperor looked at Alina with a conflicted expression. He said, "Alike... The two of you are way too alike. You are simply a mirror image of your mother in the past."

The others all had strange expressions. Judging from the Fiend Emperor’s tone, it seemed that there had been something between him and Alina’s mother in the past.

His eyes were too full of passion, which actually scared Alina a bit. She subconsciously moved closer to Sharky. Sharky stepped forward to protect her, looking at the Fiend Emperor coldly.

"Is that the lover you have chosen?" the Fiend Emperor asked with a frown. "Unfortunately, just like your mother, your eye for men is truly poor."

Charlotte and Diana exchanged a look. They had a feeling that there had been quite a bit of drama, judging from the Fiend Emperor’s reminiscent tone.

As expected, the Medusa Queen had been incredibly beautiful, never lacking pursuers. Back in the human world, Alina had also been incredibly famous. Countless nobles had been won over by her beauty and chased after her, and there had been a rumor that even Henry had pursued her before.

Now that they learned that the Fiend Emperor and Alina’s mother had had a thing too, they thought this mother and daughter really were something. They had stolen the hearts of the two strongest men in this entire world! More importantly, neither of the two women had chosen them, instead picking other men.

Meanwhile, Sharky’s mind was also wandering. I wonder just how outstanding that father-in-law of mine was. He’s actually almost at my level.

Alina eventually calmed herself down. When she heard that, she said unhappily, "I ask the Fiend Emperor to speak cautiously. Whether it is me or my mother, we followed our own hearts and chose the one we loved. Even before her death, my mother never regretted marrying my father. Similarly, I will not feel any regret." A steadfast expression appeared on her pretty but delicate face.

The Fiend Emperor became a bit absentminded when he saw her expression, saying, "That expression is just like your mother’s. Your mother went against me just like this too. However, both of you have no eye for men at all. You both ended up choosing unreliable people."

Sharky couldn’t take it anymore and said, "I actually feel that they’re pretty good. It seems to be your eye for your inheritor that’s really poor."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince was speechless. What the hell? I was just happily watching from the side. Why am I being attacked for no reason?

The Fiend Emperor’s expression immediately darkened. He wouldn’t treat Sharky as kindly as he treated Alina. He snapped, "You dare speak to me like that?"

"I’m just speaking the truth. If even I’m not reliable, then what about the crown prince I’ve beaten the shit out of three or four times now already?" Sharky shot back.

Wendy broke out into a cold sweat. This guy really didn’t back down! Did he not know how temperamental the Fiend Emperor is?

"Very good, very good!" the Fiend Emperor exclaimed, his expression extremely cold.

Alina quickly stood in front of Sharky and said, "You are not allowed to harm him."

She had managed a great clan for so many years, and after associating with powerful nobility in a place like the human race’s capital city, she was quite good at grasping one’s thoughts and behavior.

When she saw that the Fiend Emperor had known her mother, she knew he probably wouldn’t harm her, at least not at the moment. That was why she stepped forward to protect Sharky.

Charlotte was a bit stunned when she saw that. At first, when she had heard that her disciple liked someone, and that the man she chose was quite perverted with many women around him, she had just assumed those women had been tricked through smooth talking.

At first, she had intended to expose Sharky’s true colors, expecting that the women would all leave on their own then. She had thought that perhaps some of them only desired his outward appearance and wealth, which would make them even easier to chase away.

And yet, after being around him, she had discovered that the women around him were all quite different, but all of them were affectionate and true. Most importantly, even she herself had fallen into that trap.

Sharky patted Alina’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry too much. If the Fiend Emperor wanted to kill me, he would’ve done so a long time ago. Why would he even give you the chance to step forward and stop him?"

Alina was stunned. That was indeed the case. With the Fiend Emperor’s earth immortal rank cultivation, if he really interfered, she wouldn’t be able to react at all. She wouldn’t have had the chance to stand in front of Sharky at all.

The Fiend Emperor gave Sharky a look, saying, "Young man, sometimes, being too smart might not necessarily equate to a longer life."

"It doesn’t matter too much whether you’re smart or stupid. What matters is your fate," Sharky said in a profound manner.

The Fiend Emperor was shocked. He said, "I did not expect someone as young as you would already sense the existence of fate. Not bad. As my cultivation climbed higher and higher, I became able to sense more and more clearly that everything is dictated by an invisible fate."

Charlotte and Diana’s expressions changed a bit. At their cultivation realm, they could also sense the unclear and indistinct influence of fate. They had thought that maybe it was just a figment of their imagination, and yet it truly did exist!

The Golden Crow Crown Prince began to panic when he saw how the Fiend Emperor seemed to be chatting happily with Sharky. He said, "Father emperor, when my second brother sent assassins to kill me and you told me to forget about my grudges with him afterward, I had no problems with that. However, this guy is clearly my enemy, and he has tried to kill me several times. I suffered so much because of him! Is your respected self really going to let him go?"
