Arch Bishop Millan

The bishops froze when they heard that. They knew that if the emperor wanted to kill them, a snap of his fingers would be more than enough.

The emperor saw the fear in their eyes and smiled. "No need to be afraid. Everything that I'm telling you now is information I can give without worrying about your lives.

But let's talk a little about the hero candidate issue. After that, I'll take you to see the final stages of the demon blood experiment. We have come a long way since I got it, and this final phase can make or break it all," the emperor said.

The bishops felt unsettled by the emperor's mood and willingness to show them all these things, but they didn't speak. They were getting results, and that was all that really mattered.

"So you said that Silva killed hero candidate Leah?" the emperor asked. His expression went serious as he asked about it.

"Yes, like we said already," the bishops responded.
