He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 578. Envoy

High tier Civilisation.

Arman Empire.

Royal Palace.

In a Villa.

Kailen was currently alone in a bedroom at the moment.

"I should send some shadow creatures to protect Arrie and the others covertly. The rank 7 poisons and runic artifacts are not enough."

Several shadow creatures left the shadow expanse, headed towards the mid tier Civilisations, presence veiled.

Arrie and the others on academy missions didn’t know these shadow creatures were protecting them from the shadows.

"After all, if these factions try veiled diplomacy and it does not work, they will try to kidnap my loved ones and use it to coerce me into submission. Who knows what could happen to them during such a period? Cannot have that happen," Kailen thought.

"Set up the runes and designate the poison traps right outside the outer borders of the Arman and Astral Empire. Be covert."

A glint flashed through Kailen’s eyes as he gave a command to his shadow creatures.

Quickly, the shadow creatures got to work.

Everything happened normally in the Astral and Arman Empire, as if Kailen was not planning against his enemies.

"I will eventually leave the Arman and Astral Empire territory for training purposes. I can’t leave without making sure my loved ones are safe," Kailen thought.

"Powerhouses at the intermediate stage universe level will not make a move for a while.

They will most likely be sending juniors at the beginner stage universe level to handle me. Getting rid of them outside the outer borders, mysteriously, is the best course of action. If they don’t know how their juniors died, and can’t figure out who killed them, they won’t know how to act.

They will hesitate without clarity. That will buy me enough time. Time to increase my strength to handle them."

"There are four empires surrounding the Arman and Astral Empire: the Xernovia Empire, the Xi Qi Empire, the Ruth Empire, and the Karabi Empire. These four empires are most likely to make a move first. I should deal with them first before I leave the Astral and Arman Empire territories for training purposes.

From what I know from the intelligence brokers on the dark web, the strongest powerhouses in these empires are at the intermediate stage universe level.

Also, these empires may not necessarily be at war with one another because of the common threat the universe faces—the vimodials. However, there are occasional skirmishes between them over resources. If there was a way to manipulate this situation..." A glint flashed through Kailen’s eyes for a moment.

"As expected," Kailen suddenly smiled as his eyes peered into the void.

"Don’t activate any traps against him outside the boarders. Let him come" A glint flashed through Kailen’s eyes.

"Also, don’t take action against him in our territory . If he disappears in our territory, it will give the enemy political leverage," Kailen sent a thought transmission to some shadow creatures.

His figure melded into the void.

****

At the moment, the envoy from the Karabi Empire had already been received with hospitality.

The envoy was currently in a villa in the royal palace.

Even the emperor himself had come to greet him.

The envoy was aware the emperor knew he was not the one he wanted to meet. After all, the emperor was just a rank 3 beginner stage Dao level lifeform. What would he, a rank 4 universe level powerhouse, want to do with a weakling of that calibre?

He was sure that very soon, Kailen Darkhaven would receive news of his arrival and make an appearance.

However, the envoy felt a bit uneasy.

What the hell was this feeling?

He was certain that, with the proposal at hand, Kailen Darkhaven would agree if he was sensible enough. As for the consequences of disagreeing... well, Kailen Darkhaven would find out soon enough.

But this feeling of unease—he didn’t like it.

However, he brushed it off.

"I am in another empire’s territory. Of course I will feel uneasy."

Very soon, a royal attendant knocked on the door of his bedroom politely.

"My Lord, the prince is expecting you."

"Very well, thank you. Then, I will be looking forward to you guiding me there."

****

The envoy entered the luxurious living room.

Kailen’s eyes flashed across him for a moment.

"A vampire, huh," Kailen mused inwardly.

"Please, sit," Kailen directed politely.

The envoy nodded.

"Thank you, Prince Darkhaven."

The envoy sat. "I know you are a straightforward man, Prince Darkhaven. So, I will get straight to the point."

"Wouldn’t have it any other way," Kailen replied.

"First of all, on behalf of the emperor of the Karabi Empire, congratulations for breaking through to the universe level," the envoy said.

"Thank you. My thanks to the emperor as well," Kailen replied, voice neither arrogant nor subservient.

"It would please the esteemed emperor that Prince Darkhaven submits to the Karabi Empire," the envoy spoke, observing Kailen’s reaction.

Kailen didn’t react in anger. His expression and gaze were casual.

The envoy continued, "If Prince Darkhaven agrees, the Arman and Astral Empire will have the full protection of the Karabi Empire. We are well aware of the precarious situation Prince Darkhaven finds himself in at the moment, and we would like to be of great aid."

Kailen’s gaze remained casual. He nodded.

The envoy continued, "Also, Prince Darkhaven will directly become the adopted son of the emperor and crown prince of the Karabi Empire. Even the princes and princesses have agreed to this decision of the emperor. This goes a long way to reveal how much we value Prince Darkhaven.

The Karabi Empire is a dynasty that has ruled its territories for a very long time. The emperor himself is a rank 4 intermediate stage universe level powerhouse, with several powerhouses at the intermediate stage universe level under his command. I suppose Prince Darkhaven knows the benefits of becoming the crown prince of the Karabi Empire?"

Kailen nodded, a warm expression on his face.

"Indeed. I am extremely awed by this demonstration of kindness from the emperor. It goes a long way to show the emperor’s generosity," Kailen said.

"However, I am currently satisfied with my current estate. If in the future I have a change of mind, I will consider this proposal."
