Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. That was the center of the Bloodshed Land, where Heber's palace was located.
Ames' eyes flickered a few times. She glanced at Hella and her sister, sighed slightly, and lowered her hands, which were covered by her sleeves. She was not going to attack again, and the force field that she had been accumulating quickly dissipated.
The tense atmosphere instantly calmed down.
She no longer looked at Carroll and turned to look at Malekith, who had also blocked her attack, and said coldly, "Don't just stand there. Lead the way."
When she had decided to accept the Tyrant's invitation, Ames had already expected to encounter something like this. Her previous attack had already shown her attitude. Since the Tyrant was involved, she did not want to have a bigger conflict in someone else's territory. After all, she was not there to cause trouble this time.
Malekith nodded and led the way. Everyone followed him.
Han Xiao turned around and glanced at Carroll one last time.
Looking at Ames and the others leave, Carroll did not say anything to stop them. He stopped smiling and shook his head at the two Vanguard Officials. "I thought that she would continue to attack despite the warning. Although I didn't go too far, with my understanding of Ames, this is enough to anger her."
One of the Vanguard Officials sighed and said, "The Dragon Emperor has also changed. The rumors are right. She has the ambition to expand."
The Black Star Corps also represented the expansion of Floating Dragon. This situation had long attracted the attention of many organizations, and the Bloodshed Land was also paying attention to Floating Dragon's development.
Carroll's mission was to test Ames' attitude. His words were mostly directed at Black Star and did not directly insult Ames. He would be able to obtain a lot of information from Ames' reaction. If she had a bigger plan, she would not have started a bigger conflict.
At the same time, in Heber's palace …
Only Heber and the Klent emissary were in the room. The surveillance image of Ames and the others was displayed on the virtual screen.
The Klent Kingdom placed great importance on the Tyrant's gathering and saw it as a diplomatic event. The emissary was a high-ranking official, and he had personally attended to show the good relationship between Klent and the Tyrant.
The Klentans had slender bodies. Standing beside Heber, who was seven to eight meters tall, they looked very thin and short.
"Your Excellency Tyrant, you're still as tough as ever. You didn't even need to show yourself. Just a few words were enough to make the Dragon Emperor retreat. I thought that I would be able to see Your Excellency Tyrant make a move."
The Klent official spoke with a respectful tone and a smile on his face.
"Yes." Heber shook the specially made giant wine cup and did not comment.
The Klent official shook his head and said with a smile, "What a pity. If only she did it."
"This gathering is very important. If she causes trouble at this time, she will offend many big shots. Since she wants to expand, she won't do anything," Heber said calmly.
"Aren't you afraid that she'll take revenge on you after the gathering?" The Klent official chuckled. "She's someone who would do something like that."
"Isn't that what you want to see the most?" Heber's tone was calm.
"Haha, you're right. This will give you an excuse to attack Floating Dragon Island." The Klent official laughed. He was the one who wanted to see Ames make a move the most. "Even the Amethyst Civilization won't stop you from invading Colton with this reason."
Heber glanced at him and could not be bothered to reply. Although they were allies, his goal was different from the Klentans'.
"Ames … tsk tsk, with the halo of a Beyond Grade A, if I can get a woman with such a status, all other women will pale in comparison." The Klent high official admired Ames' body on the virtual screen and said to himself with a wanton look in his eyes.
He had a high status and had countless partners. His aesthetic focus was no longer on appearance. Only the bonus of status and identity could make a woman more attractive in his eyes. As the only female among the four Beyond Grade As in the Shattered Star Ring, Ames was clearly the most difficult woman to tame in the Shattered Star Ring.
A Star System Civilization would not dare provoke a Beyond Grade A, but to a Star Cluster Civilization, while a Beyond Grade A was powerful, they were not as fearful as a Star System Civilization.
Only a Beyond Grade A like the Tyrant would be valued more by a Star Cluster Civilization.
Therefore, the Klent official did not care about expressing his desire for Ames. After all, it was just a thought.
"I hate women who are too headstrong," Heber said slowly. "Her personality still needs to be polished."
The Klent official shook his head. He could only think about Ames. Only Heber had the ability to put it into action.
…
On the other side, Han Xiao and the others were on their way to the guest room.
After the small incident earlier, the atmosphere in the team was rather quiet.
"Black Star, don't think too much. Carroll did it on purpose," Ames said suddenly.
"I know." Han Xiao shrugged.
"This should be Heber's idea. I don't know what he's planning, but Aesop has a feeling that this gathering is not ordinary. He told me not to be rash," Ames explained.
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that Ames had already asked Aesop to predict this gathering. Could it be that Aesop's suggestion was the reason why she insisted on coming?
"Carroll was one of the earliest members of Floating Dragon, but he betrayed me and joined the Tyrant. He now has a high position in Bloodshed Land."
Han Xiao stroked his chin. "The Tyrant actually dared to let a traitor take up an important position. He's very daring."
When Malekith was trying to poach him, he had also offered him the position of Vanguard Officer. Malekith had also offered him the position of Vanguard Officer.
"Because he's the Tyrant, he's not afraid of anyone betraying him."
"What do you mean?"
"If Carroll betrayed me, the Tyrant could protect him. If he betrayed the Tyrant, no one in the Shattered Star Ring would be able to protect him."
Ames sighed. "Furthermore, I have to admit that the Tyrant's personal charisma far exceeds mine."
"You're very afraid of him?" Han Xiao raised his brows. "I thought you were not afraid of anything."
"Of course I'm not afraid of him, but even if I hate him, it doesn't change the fact that he's very strong." Ames shook her head, paused, and said, "Therefore, in the Tyrant's territory, try to keep a low profile. Don't be angry because of Carroll's words. He did it on purpose."
Ames valued Han Xiao and took the initiative to explain because she was afraid that Han Xiaoxin would hold a grudge against her.
Han Xiaoxin felt warmth in his heart. He did not take Carroll's words to heart, but he did not expect Ames to consider his feelings.
According to his understanding of Ames, Ames did not seem like someone who would consider other people's feelings.
"I feel that you've changed."
Han Xiao almost blurted out the word 'dog'.
"How have I changed?" Ames smiled faintly.
"You've become more patient than before."
Ames smiled and did not reply. She turned her head and looked at Hella and her sister.
"Aesop said that only children are willful. He told me to change, or else I'll suffer one day."
Han Xiao rolled his eyes. "Aesop, that old thing, how can he be so shameless? What right does he have to say that?"
"I think so too."
Ames's beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons as she covered her mouth and laughed.
…
The building that provided the guest rooms was located next to Heber's palace. It was a huge castle, and the entire castle was made up of guest rooms. Some participants of the gathering had already checked in, so the treatment was naturally very high. They would not neglect the guests.
There were still a few days before the gathering officially began. Many forces would arrive early because the days before the gathering was an opportunity to expand their network and make friends. It was very rare for the representatives of various forces to gather together.
With Malekith leading the way, Han Xiao and the others walked into the castle.
At this time, there were guests in groups of twos and threes in the hall. They came from different races and came from different organizations in the Shattered Star Ring.
Hearing that someone had walked in, the guests in the hall all looked over. After recognizing Ames, their expressions were a little strange. They seemed to want to greet her but did not move.
They had also heard the Tyrant's roar earlier. Ames and Heber had a conflict, and after weighing the pros and cons, they felt that it was more important to please the Tyrant. Thus, they did not approach to chat.
Ames did not mind. The group left the hall and went upstairs.
Bloodshed Land had arranged the rooms. Ames had one, Han Xiao had another, and Hella and Aurora had another.
After returning to the room and closing the door, only Han Xiao was left in the room.
He activated a compressed orb and turned it into a detector. He checked the room and did not find any monitoring devices.
Han Xiao nodded, took out a mechanical device, and placed it on the ground.
Hum hum!
A light flashed and released an illusion that covered the room. Even with magic monitoring devices, they could only see the illusion projection and not what he was doing.
Although there were many important people living in this castle and there should be monitoring devices, Han Xiao was used to being cautious.
"Carroll …"
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. He turned into his Chaos Body and activated Void Vision. His vision suddenly crossed the distance and saw Carroll's every move.
When Ames decided to stop, Han Xiao took the opportunity to throw an Observer's Mark at Carroll and replace the position of a galactic pirate.
The Observer's Mark was used to monitor Carroll's movements just in case. If there was a need in the future, it might come in handy.
Furthermore, Carroll was the logistics manager of Bloodshed Land and probably had to come into contact with important equipment often. Han Xiao felt that he should have a lot of money on him.
It seems like I can use the Observer's Mark to obtain information in this gathering.
Han Xiaoxin thought to himself.
In his previous life, no players had discovered the Tyrant's gathering. Without reaching this level, they would not have been able to come into contact with the circle of important people. This was also the first time he had heard of this event.
Although there were some unpleasantness, overall, this gathering was still very safe. At most, there would only be a few scares.
Ames' idea was to focus on participation, but this was indeed a good opportunity to obtain information. Han Xiao decided to make use of it. The participants were all important people. Perhaps some of the information they revealed was ambiguous to others, but with his memory of the storyline, he could connect many things with just a little inspiration.
