Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

Damien relaxed his expression and said with a slanted smile, ”Royal father praises me too much. I got lucky to come upon a senior alchemist expert who was kind enough to impart some knowledge to me. From that day onwards, I realized where my real interests lay and how I could use them to empower our empire. ”

The Gale Emperor ’s gaze focused, ”Hmm, I wonder if this senior you bumped into is the famous Alchemist Azrael? ”

Damien maintained his gaze as he said, ”I can ’t be sure since nobody has seen his face before. But does royal father still bear a grudge against Alchemist Azrael for what happened in the Rong Empire? ”

The emperor wrinkled his brows, ”Grudge? Hmph, why would I bother to hold grudges against such characters? He is just one person, and as someone who has a whole empire with countless people and kingdoms to manage, why would I waste my precious time over him? We already built a better building for the Eternal Zephyr Merchant Guild in the Rong Empire, and our profits only increased after that incident due to attracting people ’s attention to what happened. If anything, I should thank him for helping the guild go through a rebirth. ”

Even though the Gale Emperor seemed nonchalant about what happened, Damien could notice the hidden resentment in his words aimed at Alchemist Azrael, who was none other than himself.

He couldn ’t help but inwardly chuckle, seeing how such a lofty existence like the Gale Emperor could only helplessly swallow down his indignation relating to the whole incident that happened in the Rong Empire.

After all, how could a ruler of an empire want to do nothing when one of the branches of the guild that belonged to his empire had been destroyed top to bottom and their reserves looted as well?

The only reason he hadn ’t made any moves against Alchemist Azrael was not that he knew the guild was in the wrong but because of Alchemist Azrael ’s identity and status in the Xeton Empire.
