Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 498 - 278: The Strange Little Swan, Attack on the Giant Plain
On the second day, Louis met the hurriedly arriving Joseph Williams.
Joseph’s current state was very poor. Yesterday, when he saw him, he still had a meticulously groomed noble demeanor.
But today, he appeared in a state of disarray, looking utterly exhausted.
"Mr. Mayer, did you already predict this outcome?"
Louis shook his head, "No one anticipated such a situation between both parties."
"But did you find out who proposed activating the final weapon?"
Joseph fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "It was my father."
"Who did he receive the news from?"
"It was intelligence from domestic spies; it appears the Giant Demon Tribe harbored a great sin."
Joseph looked visibly distressed.
He said helplessly, "You are quite familiar with His Highness Louis; you should know how formidable the power of a great sin is."
Louis remained silent.
He was unable to make an assessment at this moment.
The power of great sins throughout history has never been weak; given time, they can develop into top-tier strongmen.
However, strong as they may be, they are not invincible.
If one encounters a protector blessed like the heroic storm of past generations, defeating an ordinary great sin within the same realm is entirely possible.
Judging from Joseph’s look of lingering fear, he clearly has an exaggerated view of the power of a great sin.
Perhaps the current generation of the great sin possesses extraordinary strength, leading people to completely reevaluate its impact.
Once it was, "Very strong, but still manageable in comparison."
Now, it’s raising a middle finger and shouting "Control a G8."
The strongest Demigod Emperor, with an unparalleled iron hammer, strikes fear across the entire continent.
The greatest religious sect, led by the God of Glory and Justice’s Pope, could indeed contend for the title of the strongest on the continent through much of history.
Although a great sin has topped global rankings before, never has an era seen two great sins occupy positions of supreme power simultaneously.
The emergence of Louis further corroborated this notion.
Joseph, who had briefly clashed with him, well understood what the power he possessed truly signified.
His professional level is not concealed from those with discerning eyes.
In the same realm, Louis’s destructive capability far exceeded his comprehension.
This should not be the level of power at this ranking.
Strength that is excessively overwhelming only brings about absolute worry.
Louis also knew that now the intelligence agencies of various countries on the continent would not overlook him as a Prince of the Empire.
They would cautiously and meticulously evaluate his achievements and estimate the degree of power he might attain.
— Ultimately, they would come to a startling conclusion: this individual is terrifying beyond compare.
This creates an illusion for others.
If Louis continues to climb toward the pinnacle of individual power, he stands a remarkably high chance of reaching the position of supreme power, contesting for the strongest in the world.
The feeling this induces is overwhelmingly hopeless.
Having progressed to today, Louis finds no further need to conceal much about his identity.
Choosing an appropriate time to reveal the identity of the Legendary Strongman [Caesar] poses no problem.
In any case, those capable of contending with him on the continent now are limited to demigods.
For an ordinary legend to attack him would also be notably challenging.
Threats to him on the continent are indeed few now.
Under such circumstances, the illusion of great sins being insurmountable is quite natural.
Especially for the Emperor!
The rise of Emperor Lao Deng over this hundred years left a shadow too profound across the entire continent.
This drastic response from the Tunisian Republic may well account for the Emperor’s influence.
Even if the great sin within the Giant Demon Tribe doesn’t reach the Emperor’s level, with just half the Emperor’s strength, it would be enough to keep Tunisia sleepless.
What folly, the Emperor is, after all, still human, considering the interests of the large human population; he may not do too much against those in the human camp.
What would the Giant Demons consider? How to use humans as appetizers?
Then fight!
Before he matures, make sure he dies cleanly; if unable to avert future problems caused by the Master of Fury, resolve the problem-causing individual.
Louis looked at Joseph and said:
"Joseph, do you trust me?"
Joseph candidly replied, "Certainly not; my education taught me never to trust anyone lightly."
"Reasonable, but what if Prince Louis intends to intervene on this matter?"
Joseph’s pupils contracted, "How is that possible?"
Louis, with a smile, said, "I’ve already been authenticated by the pure-blood dragons of the Dragon Empire. In due course, Mayer Trading will significantly expand into the Dragon Empire."
"If you have the confidence to persuade your elders, you can try telling them: I, Mayer Morgan Rockefeller, plan to travel to the Giant Demon Tribe myself, in order to maintain the long-term interests of Mayer Trading."
He blinked and said:
"The Ense Empire also has interests in the Giant Demon Plain. If a war starts, I need to represent the Empire and bring our people back, right?"
"Please tell your father, that the Tunisian Republic should give us a little time."
Joseph was stunned; he never imagined such a decision could exist.
He bowed slightly and said solemnly, "Thank you for your contribution to peace."
Louis shook his head and said, "No, I am aiming for greater interests."
"No, it’s all the same."
Joseph ceased further discussion, turned, and left the mansion.
He was determined to stop this ridiculous farce.
He also understood that the tense situation in the Tunisian Republic largely stems from a lack of time on both sides to consider peace talks.
