Chapter 323: Chapter 323: The Empress’s Worry, Trouble in the Sovereign City

“Aiden, I love you! You’re the perfect man in the whole world, the only one who can conquer me!”

A group of beautiful young girls screamed, going absolutely crazy.

“General Aiden, I’ve always admired you. If possible, could you sign this for me?”

A boy, looking only about fifteen or sixteen, strained to stretch his toes, holding a poster and marker high above his head.

Beside him stood a woman with a stunning, curvy figure, wearing a tube top and tiny blue denim shorts.

Even in the dense crowd, her large breasts were impossible to miss.

Those short denim shorts were pulled down so low that they almost revealed dark hair.

Her exposed skin gleamed with a healthy sheen under the sun.

It seemed the heat had made her sweat. The moisture rolled slowly down her smooth skin, radiating a powerful charm.

A few men nearby stared at her obsessively, swallowing their saliva repeatedly.

Aiden slowly turned his gaze toward the direction of the boy and the sexy woman.

“This is the direction. Someone wants to kill me, and their killing intent is very strong,” he thought.

Aiden kept a calm expression on his face, but inside, he was analyzing exactly who might be trying to assassinate him.

Was it Felix? Or Henry?

Or maybe Alexius had second thoughts and wanted to steal the secret treasure map fragment on his body?

When Aiden left the Golden Great Wall, Alexius had sent someone to find him, stating he would deliver the remaining fragment of the secret treasure map to the Great Shaw Empire in five days.

“Could he have just said that to let his guard down?”

Aiden’s eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

Truth be told, there were indeed many humans and Demons intent on killing him. For a moment, Aiden couldn’t pinpoint the exact threat.

He glanced back at Atlas, gave him a subtle wink, and quickly pulled out his phone to type a short message.

Atlas stared in confusion at first, completely missing Aiden’s signal.

But as soon as he noticed the new notification on his screen and opened it, his pupils shrank instantly.

Still, Atlas didn’t let it show. A faint, calm smile remained fixed on his face.

“Instead of trying to dodge this assassination attempt, it’s better to be proactive. Let’s see if we can catch someone alive,” Aiden thought.

“I haven’t even used the intangibility effect of the Supreme Miko’s Blessing yet. As long as a divine powerhouse doesn’t attack me directly, I’ll be safe.”

Without a second thought, Aiden walked straight toward the source of the killing intent.

The crowd of Great Shaw Empire citizens was just too dense, packed shoulder-to-shoulder like sardines.

If there were fewer people, Aiden could have easily used his killing sense to pinpoint the enemy’s exact location.

Unconsciously, Atlas kept inching closer to Aiden.

As the Great Shaw Empire citizens ahead saw Aiden approaching their side, their excitement spiked. They began waving their arms wildly.

Soon, Aiden arrived in front of the teenager who wanted a signature.

“General Aiden, please! Sign this for me. I traveled all the way from The White City just to meet you,” the boy said, his eyes brimming with hope and nervousness.

“General Aiden is so majestic! Just looking at you makes me feel an inexplicable heat rushing through my body…”

The curvy woman slid her tongue across her lips, her gaze slowly drifting down toward Aiden’s crotch.

“Someone has fainted from excitement!”

Suddenly, a panicked shout rang out.

Aiden’s eyes flickered quickly, and a barely noticeable smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head toward the direction of the panic.

At that exact moment, the stab of killing intent in his soul suddenly surged.

The boy holding the poster and the curvy woman shot intense killing intent through their eyes the moment they saw Aiden turn around.

In an instant, the poster burst with black light, transforming into a scroll that zoomed straight toward Aiden.

Simultaneously, the woman puffed her cheeks and spat a fierce emerald poison spike.

“Watch out!”

“There’s an enemy!”

Several quick-thinking Great Shaw Empire citizens shouted loudly, desperate to warn Aiden.

As they screamed, they instinctively lunged at the boy and the woman, completely ignoring their own safety.

Just as the black scroll and the green poison spike were about to strike Aiden, his body instantly dissolved into a cloud of black smoke.

“Die!”

Atlas roared. Countless silver threads shot out, rushing toward the scroll, the poison spike, and the two assassins.

“Oh no! We’re exposed! Run!”

The boy and the woman’s eyes went wide the moment they saw Aiden turn into smoke. T

heir faces froze with shock and confusion.

They had no idea how they had been discovered.

It was as if Aiden had known their identities the very second he saw them.

“Damn it, how is this possible?” the boy gritted his teeth.

He quickly tried to pull out another scroll.

But before he could activate it, the silver threads pierced straight into his body.

In the next second, the boy’s body froze solid, like a stone statue.

Seeing her partner captured, the curvy woman’s eyes flashed with cruelty. She took a deep breath, and her body suddenly began to swell.

Stinging green poison spikes immediately shot out of her pores, attacking the Great Shaw Empire citizens around her indiscriminately.

“Forbidden Thousand Threads!”

Atlas’s eyes went cold, and he activated his skill instantly.

Countless silver threads spread out from him like extending arms, precisely wrapping around the green poison spikes.

Just then, Aiden ended his Black Flame Body transformation. He was just about to unleash his own skill when he saw the woman grit her teeth hard.

“She’s going to kill herself!”

Aiden tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Within less than a second, the woman fell to the ground, dead.

The sudden assassination caused panic among the surrounding Great Shaw Empire citizens.

Many people spun around in a frenzy, trying to escape. But more of them instinctively rushed toward where Aiden was standing.

“Ahhh! Help, someone is stepping on me!”

“There are people! Watch your step, there are people under your feet!”

Shrieks of pain erupted immediately. Someone had fallen and was about to be crushed under the stampeding crowd.

At that moment, the Blackfire Cloak behind Aiden suddenly burst open, dancing violently. His body shot rapidly into the air where everyone could see him.

“Stop!”

“The danger is over! Everyone, stay where you are! Don’t move!”

Aiden only had to shout those two sentences. Instantly, all the Great Shaw Empire citizens who heard him stopped their panicked rush.

…

The border of the Great Shaw Empire.

“What? Aiden was targeted by assassins!”

Eira suddenly jumped up from her chair, gripping her scepter tightly. Her face was frozen in shock and panic.

She turned to the official who had brought the news, frantically demanding, “Speak quickly! Did Aiden get hurt?”

“Your Majesty, Aiden sensed the danger beforehand. He is unharmed,” the official replied instantly.

Eira instantly let out a breath of relief. Her legs felt so weak she nearly gave out.

If anything had really happened to Aiden, it would be a devastating blow to the Great Shaw Empire—and to her personally.

“Send orders! Mobilize all the strength of the Great Shaw Empire! Find out who dared to assassinate Aiden!” Eira regained her regal composure as an Emperor. She slammed the Imperial Scepter onto the ground with a roar.

Kelsey, standing beside her, looked extremely tense. Without hesitation, she whispered urgently to Eira:

“Mother, I want to go find Aiden.”

As soon as she spoke, Felix jumped in:

“Princess, absolutely not! You are the Princess of the Great Shaw Empire. Rushing into Elephant Empire territory without first consulting with Elephant Empire…”

Felix didn’t even finish his sentence before Eira stood up again.

“Inform everyone to set out immediately to welcome Aiden. Also, send a messenger to Emperor Xander of Elephant Empire. I’m sure he will understand,” Eira said, her voice rapid and firm.

Suddenly, the ministers around them exchanged nervous glances, looking deeply uneasy.

As a ruler of a nation, Eira’s decision was completely out of protocol.

In the history of the Great Shaw Empire, this had never happened before.

If an accident occurred even inside Elephant Empire territory, and if Eira and Kelsey came to no harm, it could still spark a major diplomatic incident.

“Your Majesty, please consider this carefully,” one of the ministers pleaded, bowing low.

Eira raised her Imperial Scepter without hesitation.

“I know this breaks protocol, but compared to Aiden’s safety, everything else can wait. If you try to talk me out of this, you are directly defying my order!”

Instantly, no other minister dared to speak a word.

Soon, a massive crowd marched forward toward the territory of Elephant Empire.

But before they even crossed the border line, Aiden and his group arrived, leading thousands of Great Shaw Empire citizens behind them.

Even with so many people watching, Eira couldn’t bother maintaining her imperial dignity. Without a second thought, she rushed toward Aiden as fast as she could, Kelsey right by her side.

“Are you okay? You weren’t hurt, were you?” Eira asked, eyeing Aiden closely.

Aiden shook his head and looked at Kelsey.

He smiled, reaching out to gently pat her on the head.

“Your Highness, why are your eyes all red?”

Kelsey took a deep breath and replied, “It’s just the wind.”

Eira watched Aiden’s gesture and didn’t think it was inappropriate at all. Instead, the corners of her mouth turned up; she was genuinely happy.

“Your Majesty, trouble has erupted in Sovereign City,” Felix’s voice suddenly broke the moment.
