The Heaven Emperor had been angered, making the heavens roll with thunderous clouds.
Sensing Aurin's rage, Master Magaera gulped as his legs wobbled from where he knelt on the ground. The surrounding soldiers were frozen with terror.
The next second, Master Magaera tried his best to calm himself down. He carefully said, "Your Highness. I had no intention to offend the Royal Master. I attacked him with good reason."
As he spoke, Master Magaera looked at Debra. He continued, "Ten thousand years ago, the Yellow Emperor of the mortal realm led a fierce and relentless assault against the Godly Region, wreaking chaos and tragedy. Upon his death, one of his surviving men hid in the Nine Continents and started the Hidden Hero Sect.
"The Godly Region continued to hunt for traces of the Hidden Hero Sect thousands of years after that. The late Nine Heavens Emperor once swore that we had to take down every last of the Yellow Emperor's surviving men. I found the Hidden Hero Sect's main altar while hunting down Antigonus, only for my ambush to fail, and they escaped.
"The current Hidden Hero Sect Master—Debra—is Darryl Darby's lover. I found out where she was and had my men come forward to seize her, but the Royal Master stopped me.
"It was my fault for attacking and wounding the Royal Master, Your Highness, but it was also my duty to take down the Yellow Emperor's surviving men. Please be fair and just in your judgment, Your Highness."
As he uttered the final word, Master Magaera lay on the ground unmoving while silently waiting for Aurin's response.
At the same time, everyone cast their gazes toward Aurin. The surrounding Elysium Gate members and Godly Region soldiers also turned to look at Aurin.
The Begonia Residence fell deadly silent.
Upon knowing what was going on, Aurin took a deep breath as he fell into deep thought.
A few seconds later, Aurin came to his senses. His expression was nothing but respectful as he turned to Debra, "My sincerest apologies, Missus. I'm sorry to have frightened you."
To Aurin, Debra was Darryl's lover, which meant that she was his Missus.
Without his master, he would have never gotten the position of the Heaven Emperor. Thus, there was no way he could be anything but respectful toward her.
Seeing the great Heaven Emperor apologize to Debra made her figure tremble as her brain buzzed blankly. She shook her head violently and replied, "No… There's no need to apologize…"
'What…'
Master Magaera was stunned by the sight from where he lay.
The Emperor was apologizing to the Hidden Hero Sect Master. Was he… going to forgive the Yellow Emperor's surviving men?
