"Why do you want to meet hi— His Majesty?" Duan Ya snapped out and questioned Chang Jie. She felt there was nothing good about conversing with a self-proclaimed emperor like Tang Shaoyang. She was afraid that Tang Shaoyang would have a negative influence on Chang Jie.

Selena also nodded, "Why do you want to meet him?" She repeated the same question.

"There's something…. No, I have a request for His Majesty!" Chang Jie answered honestly.

"What request? What do you want from hi— His Majesty? You can talk to me, and we will work together to get what you want." Duan Ya would not stand still and would do everything to stop Chang Jie. Alas, she did not know how determined Chang Jie was.

Chang Jie shook his head, "I am afraid it's not something we can work together to get, Duan Ya," Then he looked toward Selena, "I can't say my request, but can you ask His Majesty if I can meet him?"

Selena looked at Chang Jie's eyes, the eyes full of hope and sincerity. Chang Jie's look reminded her of something in her mind, and she agreed to help, "I can tell His Majesty you want to meet him, but I can't guarantee you that he will meet you. Is that okay?"

Chang Jie nodded his head furiously. In his mind, even if he could not meet the Emperor now, he would think of another way to meet The Emperor. He would do everything to meet Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang sat in his office, and the table was cleaned out. There was no paper for him to check or approve as he had done it a few days ago, "What to do now?"

He was idle with nothing in his mind during these three days of break. If it was before, he would spend his time having some sparring fights against Pride, but the gap between them was too big now. The sparring fight was kinda useless for him, and it was not fun to win easily, "I can go out and clean out the zombie…." He shook his head at the thought.

The zombies were no longer effective for him to level up. It would be best for The Tarriors to hunt them down instead of him as the zombies would be more effective on his subordinates. Even after wiping out the Immortal Dynasty, it did not give him a level. It was that bad for him, so roaming around to kill the zombies was not a thing for him now.

"Mengyao and Wei Xi is dividing the new group for the Expansion Team…. Kang Xue and Marshal Alton are preparing for the next floor of Dimensional Tower…." A lot of work was done by his subordinates, "Should I go back to Lukan and visit the main continent? Three days are too short for that too,"

"What about Kalliyan? What is she doing?" He suddenly remembered the Celestial Wolf cubs. Since Kalliyan had just given birth to her children, he left the cubs to Kirin, "Maybe I should leave the cubs to Li Na. She is doing a good job with the bear, and maybe she can raise the wolf better than Kalliyan?"

[I have a message from Lady Selena, Master.]

Origin's voice rang in his head as he was about to get up, "What's the message?"

[Chang Jie, the young man from Shiye Island, wants to meet you. Lady Selena wishes you to meet him.]

"Is that the young man who got poisoned with the dark mana?" Tang Shaoyang recalled the name of the fourth person poisoned by the dark mana. It was the young man who fought alongside the Tarrior against the Epic Rank Zombie, "But why does he want to meet me?" He furrowed his brow as he tried to recall the man called Chang Jie. He thought the young man might be an acquaintance before the Game, but he did not recall the young man called Chang Jie.

[Lady Selena also does not know why Chang Jie wants to meet you. It seems the young man is also keeping it secret from Lady Selena. Do you wish to meet him, Master?]

"It's rare for Selena to make a request, and I have nothing to do…. Bring the young man to the throne hall. I will meet him there," Tang Shaoyang got up from the chair and then left the office.

[As you wish, Master.]

Chang Jie stood in front of an imposing double door. The door was coated in gold with a dragon symbol on it. For some reason, the door gave him a different aura even though it was just a door. Duan Ya and Selena were next to him.

"His Majesty is inside, but he only allows you to go inside," Selena spoke to the young man.

"No, I have to accompany him," Duan Ya protested.

"I am afraid you can't, young lady," Selena shook her head, "That's the condition to meet His Majesty. If you don't want to meet him alone, then I have to cancel the meeting. I have done enough favor for you to set up the meeting, but I can only do this much for a stranger. I am not going to make another request to allow you to go inside with Chang Jie." Her firm tone ensured Chang Jie and Duan Ya understood that she would not relent in this regard.

"It's okay, Duan Ya. I will meet His Majesty alone," Chang Jie smiled, "I beg you to listen to me this time, just this one time."

Duan Ya stared at the man in front of her for a while, looking at his sincere eyes. It was not something she could not resist when Chang Jie said that with his soft tone and his genuine gaze. She ended up nodding, giving the man approval.

"Thank you," The smile never disappeared until he faced the door once more. The moment his eyes landed on the door, the smile disappeared as it was replaced with a solemness. He stepped up and pushed the door; with a small gap opened, he slipped into the room and closed the door, giving no chance behind him to see what was inside.
