“Master Nux.”

A man wearing black robes kneeled in front of Nux. He had brown colored hair and black eyes, there was nothing very special about his features, he was just a normal man with an average face.

He was Brenden Zikernam, a member of Omniscient Information Hall, one of the major Information Halls based in the city.

He glanced at Nux and Melia who were standing in front of him and couldn’t help but curse his past self.

Nux Leander and ExceedoGenesis.

After his victory against Graner, this man, Nux Leander, and his Clan, ExceedoGenesis, attracted a lot of attention.

Soon, it was revealed that the Sword Girl, one of the most popular free Cultivators in the City, was part of ExceedoGenesis as well.

The Leader of ExceedoGenesis was the husband of the Sword Girl.

All the female members of the ExceedoGenesis were unapparelled beauties.

One of the members of the ExceedoGenesis was a Great Sage.

An Emperor completely dominated a Sage in a one-on-one battle.

ExceedoGenesis defeated Destiny.

Within just a few hours after winning the Duel, The ExceedoGenesis gained more and more attention.

Everything about them was a mystery.

Other than the Sword Girl, no one knew anything about any of their members.

And honestly, not much was known about the Sword Girl either, just like her Clan members, she was a Mystery as well.

Mystery, Strength, Beauty, ExceedoGenesis had everything that attracted attention, and it didn’t take time for them to become a hot topic.

So, just like any good and responsible Information Hall, the Omniscient Information Hall decided to make a move as well.

A team was made, some were sent to look into the members, their past, where they came from, or anything else, while the leader of the Team, Brenden decided to personally go near their base and spy on ExceedoGenesis members, trying to get some valuable information.

A decision he soon regretted.

Their Base was honestly too big for a new Clan, there were just too many buildings and since Brenden couldn’t find the members of the ExceedoGenesis in any of the main buildings, he had to look through all the buildings, that process alone took 4 hours since he had to be really silent about it.

And after 4 hours of extensive search, Brenden finally realized.

Other than the 4 women who were busy recruiting the new members of the Clan.

The Base was completely empty.

He couldn’t spy on those 4 women since the Great Sage was with them, even though Brenden was quite confident in his concealing skills and have spied on Great Sages before, this woman was a little strange.

Brenden decided to be careful and didn’t go near them.

He decided to wait for other members to appear.

The one he was most interested in was the Clan Leader.

That man defeated a Sage after all.

And it was not just a lucky win, it was a show of absolute suppression, humiliation, and domination.

In no way, was that a small news, even some High-Level Clans are alerted.

Many were curious to know more about Nux and ExceedoGenesis, therefore, Brenden wished to gain at least something interesting in his visit here, anything.

And as if to grant his wish, a White Portal suddenly appeared in front of the Main Hall.

Brenden frowned in confusion.

‘What is that?’

He wondered.

Honestly, he felt like it was his lucky day, this strange thing could appear practically anywhere in this huge place, however, it appeared right in front of him.

Brenden could smell a valuable information.

This white thing in front of him… it was definitely not something simple.

And just as he thought, a handsome man walked out of that white circle.

‘Is this a transportation portal? But I don’t see any Magic Circle…’

Brenden wondered.

But then, his eyes widened in horror when that handsome man who had just come out of the Circle turned towards him and looked into his eyes.

‘I-Is this a coincidence?’ He questioned inwardly, there is no way an Emperor could possibly see through his Concealment after all.

That has never happened before.

However, soon, Brenden got his answer.

It was not a coincidence.

The handsome man suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed him by his throat.

“!!!”

Breden’s eyes widened in horror.

He… He couldn’t react to this man’s speed at all!

How did he appear right in front of him!?

He was a Sage, even though he wasn’t a Body Cultivator and speed wasn’t his strong point, how can an Emperor deceive his senses and make it seem so effortless?

How can he be so helpless in front of an Emperor?

Brenden didn’t know how to react. He was being held by his throat, this man’s warning was clear, ‘move and you die.’

“Melia was right.

I can’t believe a mouse sneaked into our Base.

Are we that popular already?

Well that’s good.”

The Handsome man commented, then he looked into Brenden’s eyes and,

“Anyways,

It would be better if you don’t resist,

I might be different, but she is not very patient.”

He spoke with a small smile on his face.

Brenden then looked to the side and his eyes fell on the only Great Sage member of ExceedoGenesis who was looking at him with an indifferent expression on her face.

“Now, Brenden Zikerman, I will ask you a few questions, and you will answer me, is that clear?”

Suddenly, the man spoke.

Brenden’s eyes widened in horror.

“H-How do y-you know my name?”

He questioned.

His voice was a little hoarse since he was being held by his throat.

“I never allowed you to ask any questions, Brenden.”

Nux spoke as he tightened his grip around Brenden’s neck.

“Acckkkhh!! I-I understand…”

Brenden replied.

“Good,

How good is Omniscient Information Chamber compared to other Information Chambers in the city?”

‘H-He even knows where I c-came from?’

Brenden couldn’t believe his ears.

Was he a part of an Information Chamber or was it this man!? How does he know all this!?

“I did not get an answer yet, Brenden.”

“I-It is o-one of b-b-best.”

“That’s good. So if I need any information, would you be able to provide it to me?” Nux questioned.

“I-I ca, Ugghh!! Awwkkhh!! Awwwkhh!!”

Brenden nodded but then suddenly, Nux released him, he fell on his knees and started coughing.

“Alright then, that gives you a chance,

Now let me make your position clear,

You sneaked into my Clan, my territory, there is no rule that stops me from killing you.

However, I am a refined man who does not like unnecessary murder,

So I will give you an offer,

Become my Slave, and you live.

How about it?

Brenden Zikerman, are you willing to become my Slave?”

Brenden clearly remembered Nux asking him this question, at that time, to save his life, he quickly gave in and said yes, he had no intention to die there after all.

Who knew that simple answer of his would mark the end of his free life?

He still recalled that agonizing pain he felt the moment he thought about running away.

“Brenden, I need detailed information about all the members of Destiny, is that clear? Also, ExceedoGenesis vs Destiny, a 13 vs 100 Deathmatch.

1 Great Sage vs 5 Great Sages.

A New Clan vs a Middle-Level Clan,

I need this spread all over the City, is that clear?”

Nux ordered.

“It will be done, Master Nux.

And I will bring everything our Hall knows about Destiny to you tomorrow.”

Brenden bowed his head.

That was his only option fi he didn’t wish to go through that agonizing pain again.

Coming to his Clan…

It was the biggest mistake of his life.
