Chapter 737 - Lecture (1/2)

”Old Bastard. Let's talk.”

The Wind Emperor smiled and nodded. ”Sure.”

”Alea, Ana, Yuri, follow me. The rest will take care of the garden.” The Empress stated as she went to the mansion.

The Wind Emperor signaled Levina and Lyovkin to follow him.

They complied as they walked right behind him.

While pushing the wheelchair, Lyovkin thought, 'So, Theo has only been a clone until now. Doesn't this mean all of us were defeated by a clone? What if Theo was here and fought all of us together with his clone…'

He sucked a cold breath as he could imagine Theo bullying them.

'As expected of my idol. He's going to be my only idol from now on.' Levina smiled inwardly, aspiring to be someone like Theo.

Meanwhile, the Empress' side wasn't that happy when they realized Theo was a clone. This was clearly an insult to tell them that they were not strong enough to even defeat his clone.

Ana clenched her fists and muttered inwardly, 'That Theo… He's already this strong with only his clone… What if he's actually using that Ascension Step while his clone attacks me? It's a sure win. No wonder it's called a trump card.'

Alea only looked down with a frown, not thinking anything.

Yuri, on the other hand, bit her lips, remembering this humiliation.

While leading them inside, the Empress glanced at Alea and said with a cold tone. ”Alea. What's the deal with your lousy performance?”

”Eh?” Alea was surprised, thinking she had fought to the best of her ability.

Seeing the confusion on her face, the Empress said, ”I'm not talking about your fighting ability. I'm talking about all other things. Why did you not say anything when you lost? Were you sad because he defeated you? Was that why you didn't even look at him in the face?”

”That's…” Alea opened her mouth but no words came out. She couldn't explain herself.

”What? Don't make shitty excuses by telling me that you were trying to look more mature.” The Empress snorted, glaring at her.

She didn't mind bashing her disciple in front of everyone, let alone the Wind Emperor. After all, she knew the Wind Emperor had told Levina to seduce him or something.

So, she didn't hold back even when they were walking in the hall.

”What? Did you think by becoming more calm and silent, you have become more mature? Did you confuse battle state and everyday state? Huh? Your grandmother told me that you had been sheltered this whole time and tried to grow up. But if this was what you meant by growing up, I'm going to beat the shit out of you right now.” The Empress said with a menacing tone.

”I… I don't know.” Alea shook her head helplessly. ”I felt like I lost something after he defeated me. I thought I had prepared for this, but…”

”That's bullshit.” The Empress snorted. ”Just tell me that you are jealous of that so-called world's most beautiful woman! Just tell me that you want to be like her, calm and collected.”

Alea looked down, having no words to refute her.
