"Will they really fall for this?" Ling Haotian looked at the Fisherman, suspicion in his eyes.
Fisherman: ...
You're nothing but a brute who knows how to kill, kill, kill. What do you know about an open scheme?
"Whether they fall for it isn't important. What matters is that the Void Emperor Insect Egg is in the hands of the Void Demon Clan. That's the most important thing," the Fisherman said calmly.
That Void Empress had become obsessed—completely insane.
To find the bloodline of her own branch, she had crossed the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, all to ensure the Void Royal Bug lineage continued.
Whether it was an open scheme did not matter at all. This was what the Void Empress was searching for now, and something she had to obtain.
At the Taboo level, trying to scheme against them with underhanded plots was basically impossible. No matter how good a plot was, it had its limits.
But an open scheme was different. Put plainly, even when you knew there was a pit ahead, you still had to jump into it. That was an open scheme—unless the Void Empress no longer cared about the Void Emperor Insect Egg.
That would be another matter entirely.
"Fine, I'll go now." Ling Haotian glanced at the Fisherman, then vanished directly from the small world.
"What a hothead. He hasn't changed at all. That's good—staying true to yourself is a good thing." The Fisherman smiled as he watched Ling Haotian disappear.
Having reached the Taboo level, one already possessed considerable influence within The Empire.
For small nations, a Taboo was practically a national treasure.
But in The Empire, while Taboos held a great deal of influence, they did not have the final say in everything.
Of course, the biggest reason was The Empire's system.
