"Impudent! Who the hell do you think you are speaking to? If you have the guts, why don't you stop using helpless girls as your shield and come out front and face me?" The Gale Emperor asked with a look of contempt.
Since the hooded man was trying to humiliate him while forcing him to not attack, the Gale Emperor thought that he could just do the same back to him.
"Hahaha, aren't you quite the sly dog? Trying to provoke my ego into making me drop my guard. But guess what…having two of the most beautiful women indirectly help me out is not as bad or shameful as you think. Besides, only a fool would want to fight alone against an emperor. There is something called brains which you have to use to make up for it. But since you don't have that and only strength, I suppose you won't understand," The hooded man said with a snicker, making the Gale Emperor's expression become even more ugly.
The fact that he can't even kill this hoodlum right away despite having so much power was making him feel like his nerves might explode any moment.
"But…before you waste your saliva anymore, how about taking a look at this?" Saying so, the hooded man threw a metal disc toward the Gale Emperor, just like the one he gave to Olivia.
The Gale Emperor felt a bad premonition upon seeing this metal disc being passed to him and quickly went through his memories to see if he had ever slipped up once that might have exposed anything that the public should not know.
However, he quickly played the recording in his head only to have his eyes widen and glare at the hooded man with killing intent.
The people in the hall immediately felt that the air around them suddenly got heavy making some of them collapse on their knees.
Still, the Gale Emperor's reaction garnered everyone's attention as they wondered what kind of dirt the hooded man had on the Gale Emperor to react like this.
Even the Lancaster Emperor couldn't help but look at the Gale Emperor's back, wondering what he saw in that recording.

He had no idea who recorded this, but upon thinking about it, only Farah could do this.
'That bitch!' The Gale Emperor never expected Farah would have the balls to betray him like this. Helping his enemy was one thing but going as far as plotting to bring down his reputation was a crime that would warrant her to get flogged a million times.
And if this recording got out, then he might not even be able to keep the crown on his head any longer since sleeping with one's own daughter-in-law was taboo, especially in the imperial family.
Doing so would mean that the person had no respect for the teachings of their ancestors, their family, and also for the laws of the empire. And if that person was the emperor himself, was he fit to be an emperor anymore?
Even his own son would turn against him immediately and gather all the elders and ministers to make him step down from the throne since that would be what the people in his empire would demand as well.
But wouldn't that mean that he would be forced to give in to this hooded man's demands and kneel before everyone? Was this even really happening? A powerful emperor like him had to bend his knees like some peasant would before their lord.
In his life, he never had to bend his knees, not even before his own parents.
At first, he was looking down on Olivia for kneeling like a bitch before the hooded man, but then again, he knew she was just a puppet and had no real power.
But now, he felt his blood pressure rising just thinking about his own situation.

If you don't kneel before me within five seconds, I will release that recording!" The hooded man said in a firm tone, making the Gale Emperor gnash his teeth to the point blood pooled in his mouth, which he swallowed back.
But before he knew it, his legs were already pulling him towards the center of the hall in a hurried manner, and he grimaced in humiliation as he closed his eyes and…
*Crack!*
The floor cracked as he kneeled beside Olivia, who had a shocked expression since not even in her dreams did she imagine a man like the Gale Emperor to kneel before someone.
She didn't even dare to look in his direction any longer since she could feel his aura barely being suppressed from flaring up, and if she was to get caught in it, she might turn to dust.
But not only her but every single person in the hall also forgot to blink or breathe as they looked at one of the most powerful men on the continent kneeling before someone whose identity was still unclear and clearly someone weaker and younger than the Gale Emperor.
If a minute ago, somebody said that the Gale Emperor would kneel like this, they would laugh like it was the biggest joke of the century and even bet their own lives on it.
But now…was this all an illusion or something? Even now, most were trying their hardest to process what they were seeing.
The Gale Emperor felt as if his entire body had become heavier by a hundred times, and his hands were folded into fists so tightly, his nails were digging into his skin.
He was only used to looking down on people but never up, nor did the thought of having to kneel before someone ever cross his mind since that was impossible.

And here I thought it would take some time to train it. Anyways...now that you are in such a comfortable position, why don't you let the people of the Rising Sun Continent know about your great misdeeds just like the slutty empress beside you?" The hooded man asked in a sarcastic tone.
