The emperor of the Great Wu Empire was an old Elementavor who looked extremely frail. Most of his body was replaced with metallic parts. Elena analysed him and was extremely surprised to find out that 70 percent of this man's body was mechanical.

But if anyone underestimated him because of this reason then that would be a big mistake. All the parts of his body were made of extremely rare material and could function as a weapon. Elena judged that this man was strongest among the people she had came across in this world.

Currently, Elena and all the other ladies were inside the meeting room in the Imperial palace. Shu Jianxin had managed to get an audience with the emperor extremely quickly with his connection so after returning to Kolediana, Elena did not get to rest at all and had to immediately fly back to the capital planet again and this time all the ladies and even Hongjuan was with her.

Other than them, Shu Jianxin had also joined them in this meeting. And from the royal side, other the imperial majesty himself, three of sons and one of his daughters were also here. They were all the top candidates to be the next emperor so they were always staying with the emperor to learn from him. Other than them, the prime minister and one of the top army generals were also present in the room.

From this it was clear that the emperor had given this meeting very high degree of importance. Without that he would not have arranged for so many high ranking people to be here. It was Heity who explained the situation to the emperor and then she told him the request that the elder tower of PALDORA had for him.

The request was actually very simple. They wanted the royal family of Wu to stop the Li family from interfering with their world. Hearing this, the emperor whose name was Wu Tian thought about it for some time and then asked -

"I understand the situation, little Miss from another world. But I have some questions for you ?"

"Please feel free to ask, your majesty."

"If we, the Wu family decided take the Li family's side and join them in their plan, then what will happen ?"

Before Heity could say anything in reply to this bad faith question, Shu Jianxin spoke up.

"In that case, the Wu royal family and the whole Great Wu Empire will became enemies with the Truth Guild."

Emperor Wu Tian was not flustered by this threatening answer and instead gave a calm reply.

"If I can assure division head Shu that we will not use the same plan as the current one and will come up with a new one that will make sure that even more heart tools were delivered to the truth Guild, would your answer remain the same ? If you join hands together with us, we might be able to increase the supply of the rare heart tools. That will help you to raise your position in guild, wouldn't it ?"

Hearing what the emperor had said, Shu Jianxin was speechless. What he said made sense. For the research crazy people of the Truth Guild, they only cared about getting their funding through the profits of the heart tools. Even if the supplying world was in trouble, they did not care as long as the supply of heart tool to them had not declined.

Seeing the speechless Shu Jianxin, emperor Wu Tian smirked and spoke up again.

"So, little lady, just as your have heard, I think we will be able to gain more benefit if we join hands with the Li family. As an adult you must be aware that their is nothing like eternal enmity. If the Wu family promised to make the Lu family a part of the imperial bloodline, I don't think they would reject the idea of cooperation. So why should we help you instead of joining hands with the Li family who had been our allies for many years."

This attitude of the emperor troubled everyone. Heity was unable to say anything. From what she had seen after coming to this world, it was clear that their world was not strong enough to match it. So even if the the emperor tried to interfere with them, they would be powerless to resist him. As for giving him something, the only thing that could attract his greed were the heart tools. But unlike the truth guild, the elder tower would never make the heart tools a comodity for business.

Elena understood why the emperor was acting this way. He wanted to get a better deal for his family. Just getting an excuse to act against the Li family was not enough benefit for him. Most likely he was going to ask for heart tools in return that the truth guild was monopolising for the time being. Even though Elena understood his mindset, she was not happy about this behaviour. So Elena got ready to help the help the girls out.

But before Elena could say anything, Shu Jianxin spoke up again.

"Emperor Wu, do not tease the young ladies anymore. You and I both know what you're saying is just bluff. This scheme had already came to light and as long as we are under the influence of the 12 Star Organisation, you will never dare to act against an world that had female population in it. So stop with the mind games and just say if are you willing to join us or not. Even without your help, the truth guild is strong enough to take care of this matter on our own."

Seeing how blant Shu Jianxin was, emperor Wu Tian sighed and said -

"You youngsters are always in a hurry. I never said that I was against you all. As you can see I will most probably not live for long and my heirs are still young and inexperienced. They would have a hard time continue ruling after me if I directly go against one of the three duke families. Without something else to sweeten the deal, I'm afraid I will not be able to make my retainers agree to this proposition."

Hearing this Shu Jianxin was again about to say something. Elena guessed that he was probably going to offer some minor benefits and hearing them the king was going to tell everyone about his misfortune and would ask for more. Basic negotiation tactics. But Elena was already not in a pleasant mood and if she allowed only the truth guild and the emperor to continue the negotiation, then the inhabitants of the world of PALDORA would not be able to give their input and would be in a back foot. That was something Elena did not want.

So she decided to interfere. Before Shu Jianxin could speak about his low offer, Elena spoke up -

"Then in that case, let's end the talk here. I'm afraid we do not have anything that a great greedy emperor like you might be satisfied with. So we will go and negotiate with the Li family. They would obviously want to avoid going against the Truth Guild, so I believe we will be able to reach an agreement. Thank you for your time, your majesty."

Saying so Elena stood up from her seat. Following her, just a few seconds after that, the other ladies did the same. As for the emperor, he had not expected this elegant looking lady to be so direct and was at a loss for words.

As for the others, Shu Jianxin was silent and did not say anything. He understood that this lady was unwilling to leave everything upto him. The hot headed general present in the room was furious with the disrespect that was directed toward their emperor and stood up from him seat too. Then he took out a large cannon and pointed toward Elena and the girls with an angry expression on his face. Then he was about to shout something. But before he could say anything, suddenly an immense amount of pressure appeared in the room and everyone present inside froze.
