Meanwhile, the feast had concluded.
Gradually, everyone dispersed, while Lucius and his group returned to the State Guesthouse in disappointment.
They had come prepared, intending to assess Nathan's condition. If they discovered that Nathan's combat power was depleted, they would immediately order the troops stationed in space to launch an attack on the Divine Realm.
Unfortunately, they were all terrified by Nathan's casual display of power.
In that moment, they were disheartened and no longer dared to covet the Divine Realm. They simply waited for a day or two to pass before leaving the Divine Realm and accepting their fate as vassal kings.
That night, Max stayed up late, reading in his study. It seemed as though he was anticipating something.
Knock Knock!
Two crisp knocks on the door resonated through the room.
He immediately raised his head, looked towards the door, and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
Symon, one of his subordinates, pushed the door open and entered.
Max impatiently asked, "How is the investigation progressing regarding the matter I assigned you? Was the vial of Blueblood collected by Queen Hepburn intended for the God King?"
Symon shook his head and replied, "I couldn't find anything despite my efforts. Queen Hepburn has left no trace at all."
Max had hoped that Symon would uncover something.
Unexpectedly, Symon couldn't find anything and evaded responsibility by claiming that Hepburn had taken thorough precautions.
Max's face instantly darkened, and he was ready to lose his temper on the spot when Symon hastily added, "Although I couldn't determine whether the vial of Blueblood collected by Queen Hepburn was intended for the God King, I discovered another issue."
Max's anger subsided as he curiously asked, "What did you find?"
Symon explained, "I happened to notice that the God King seemed unwell when he left the banquet tonight. I discreetly followed him and observed that he appeared to be relying on Queen Hepburn's support and could barely walk."
Max instinctively wanted to dismiss it as impossible.
At the banquet, the God King displayed his terrifying power, leaving even the Four Emperors in awe.
However, he immediately recalled his previous speculation.
