Chapter 17: The Trouble-making Lucius

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Indigo Empire, Princess Green represented trouble, and she was a huge trouble.

However, since she had already come to Iron City, Elrond could only admit his bad luck and hope that she would not cause any big trouble in Iron City.

“Then… Sir Duke, where is Princess Green now?”

“I don’t know. The spy has lost her. If nothing goes wrong, she is somewhere near Iron City. Send someone out to look for her.”

Elrond sighed. As he had expected, the princess had disappeared before he could see her.

At that time, no matter what happened to the princess, the responsibility would fall on Elrond.

If he had not been used to it so many years, he would not be able to accept the unacceptable fact that the princess was somewhere in near Iron City.

“I understand.”

Elrond agreed and decided to communicate with the high officials and nobles in the city at the banquet. He wanted to know how to find the whereabouts of the princess in the huge territory of Iron City.


After Elrond answered, the Duke then hung up and the screen disappeared.

Elrond then sighed again with a distressed look.

In the conversation just now, the Duke did not specifically talk about how to arrange the future of Emerson.

He only gave Elrond a very vague idea. After talking for a long time, it was as if he did not tell Elrond anything important. At the same time, the Duke also rejected his proposal.

“What does it mean exactly…”

The royal family was very strange. It seemed like they did not want to pay too much attention to Emerson.

However, how many years had it been since such an all-rounded genetic warrior appeared?

A all-rounded genetic warrior appeared in the Indigo Empire was very rare, not to mention in the Blue Planet.

Could it be that the royal family had been secretly using the genetic technology to produce all-rounded genetic warriors, and that they had already achieved rather good results?

However, Emerson was a SSS rating genetic warrior. How could they not even be interested in such a powerful warrior?

Elrond could not make up his mind. Perhaps the Duke wanted him to not restrict the growth of a genius and let Emerson go through more difficulties and obstacles.

“If that’s the case… Should we keep it a secret?”

That method was to protect Emerson to the greatest extent. If he did not do so, it was very likely that he would attract the attention of the enemy country and send people to assassinate him.

After all, Emerson could be considered as a mobile ultimate gene bank. Everyone wanted him.

Although the current technological system had collapsed and the genetic technology was useless under the cover of the mysterious fog, that did not prevent the continuation of the genes of the human body.

To put it in an exaggerated manner, Emerson’s sperm was even more precious than a tier 1 creature soul. As long as Elrond could obtain his sperm, he would be able to produce genetic warriors that were no weaker than the second generation genetic warriors of ancient times.

Elrond’s idea was to let Emerson marry to a royal bloodline and pass on his genes. After all, he did not want their enemy countries to obtain Emerson’s genes.

However, according to the Duke’s opinion, he did not intend to do so. Thus, Elrond could only give up.

After thinking about it, Elrond was afraid that his decision would delay the plans of his majesty and the Duke. Thus, he decided not to care about this matter anymore. In any case, what the Duke wanted him to do was only to look for the princess.

Since Elrond did not prevent the news from spreading, in the afternoon, a hot topic started in Iron City.

The second all-rounded genetic warrior in the history of the Indigo Empire had appeared!

Furthermore, it was suspected that Emerson had consumed some black market medicine to obtain such an ability!

Naturally, that news was not spread by the people who were originally in the testing area. They had received Elrond’s warning and did not dare to speak carelessly.

As soon as they heard this news, the people that were in the testing area in the morning started panicking. After all, it was a crime of treason. No one could bear the consequences. Some of them ran away and hide to prevent getting caught. There were even some who went to look for the instigator who spread this news, they offered a reward for the instigator’s head.

In the end, the instigator even stood on the platform of life and death as he told everybody that wanted his head to challenge him.

The instigator was Lucius.

He did not listen to Elrond’s warning.

He lost his mind because he was not satisfied with Emerson.

He could not imagine how a person who used drugs to cheat could pass the all-rounded gene test and not die.

In Lucius’s eyes, if Emerson’s identity was confirmed, he would definitely be bestowed with supreme glory by the Indigo Empire and obtain the best resources.

At that time, Emerson would not be able to protect Lucy, and he would even be ostracized and oppressed by the people.

Lucius could not stand Emerson’s behavior.

He wanted to uncover all of this and let everyone know that Emerson was a liar.

“Does this idiot know what he’s doing?”

“Are you out of your mind! You’ll get us all killed! Quickly think of a way to shut him up!”

“Wait, didn’t you notice? He has been shouting on stage for so long. Logically speaking, Grandpa Elrond should have known about this long ago. Shouldn’t he have sent someone to arrest him?”

“Could it be that Grandpa Elrond acquiesced to his actions?”

“Do you want to risk your life? Treason is punishable by death!”

“What can we do? You’ll need to challenge Lucius if you stand on the platform. You saw his strength during the test. I don’t want to fight with him.”

“Moreover, he’s Viscount Rory’s friend. Even if we try to kill him, do you think Viscount Rory will let us go?”

The small group of people below the platform discussed animatedly.

They were all witnesses who had personally witnessed Emerson breaking through the Eternal Stairs and reaching the end. Having received Elrond’s warning, they were all extremely dissatisfied with Lucius’s actions.

However, they could not do anything about him. Viscount Rory was a noble of Iron City. He was an existence that ordinary genetic warriors like them could only look up to.

Even those who were not afraid of Lucius did not dare to make a move on him on account of Viscount Rory.

“Emerson Cole is a f*cking liar!”

“We’re all genetic warriors. How can we tolerate a person who uses drug to exchange for power at the cost of his life to gain the recognition of the Indigo Empire?”

“A lowly scum is definitely not qualified to be on the same level as us!”

“He even tried to show off in front of us!”

“I implore Grandpa Elrond to step out and punish Emerson Cole!”


Lucius shouted loudly. He was determined to make a scene.

In fact, Lucius’ method was effective.

Most of the people who did not know the situation were incited by Lucius’ words. However, there were also some people who raised their doubts.

“You said that Emerson became a genetic warrior after taking drugs, and that he was an all-rounded genetic warrior? Is that possible? Is there such a powerful drug? Could it be that you are jealous of him? Are you trying to slander him?”

Lucius sneered as he answered, “Idiot, Emerson is a commoner from the slums. It’s impossible for the people there to become genetic warriors!”

“You already said that he is a commoner from the slums. Then where did he get the money to buy the drugs?”

“Who knows? Maybe he stole it from someone,” Lucius said indifferently. “After all, they are low-class people with bad morals, aren’t they?”

At that moment, a strong force assaulted from behind Lucius. It was as if someone had kicked him hard on the body, sending him flying. After flying for more than 10 meters, he crashed into the guardrail before stopping.

A cold voice sounded not far behind Lucius.

“How noisy.”
