The person from The Manifest Court said, “I can see that the battle was fierce.”
The divine brigadier nodded. “Yes. I met a powerful fighter.”
His daughter was surprised that her father actually called another fighter powerful. “You got into a big battle right after you finished training? That must have been one powerful foe.”
Edmund, in all his stupidity, added, “If I'm correct, you must have met Dark Emperor, right? Number one on the Divine Leaderboard?”
God f*cking dammit. Are you a seer or something? You just had to make the right guess, didn't you? You dumb brat! You idiotic boy!
The divine brigadier felt like slapping his son. Every time he was about to forget about that fight, Edmund just had to tear into it.
The divine generals agreed, “Sir, we've heard about the feud between you two. You've banned him from entering Erudia, but he has been showing up frequently in North Hampton.
“I'm sure he's the first one you want to get rid of, sir. You just fought him, didn't you? Tell us we're right, sir.”
The divine generals were beaming at the divine brigadier, asking him to praise them. However, their boss only wanted to slap them at the moment.
Goddammit! These idiots! Are they dumb? Why won't they just shut the f*ck up about it?
He looked around and noticed everyone was staring at him, waiting for an answer.
In the end, he answered sheepishly, “Yes, I just came out of a fight with Dark Emperor. Sorry, you guys had to see me in this state.”
Edmund stupidly asked again, “Father, did you defeat him then?”
His goal was simple. He wanted his father to tell him he defeated Dark Emperor. Edmund wanted everyone to know his father defeated the invincible Dark Emperor.
It wouldn't be too big a piece of news in the past, but Dark Emperor was now put on an impossibly high pedestal. He was practically a god, but well, every single thing he did shook everyone to their core, so he was not that different from an actual god anyway.
