Chapter 1258: Unseen Shifts

The Crimson Snake Emperor forced himself to calm down.

After a moment, he said, "I understand. This time, when the eight star systems came demanding justice, only Erythar Star System asked for intelligence on the aliens. That means they either have confidence or the strength to deal with the aliens themselves?"

"Exactly. I, too, cannot see through those two people. The confidence of the Erythar Star System may very well come from them. In the future, even the Crimson Moon Dynasty might need their help."

Hearing this, the Crimson Snake Emperor couldn’t help but feel a hint of defiance.

The Crimson Moon Dynasty was so powerful—why would they ever need help?

"Are you still unconvinced?" The Grand Elder saw through his thoughts at a glance.

The Crimson Snake Emperor remained silent.

"You are too proud of yourself," the Grand Elder sighed. "Where do you think the real danger to the Crimson Moon Dynasty comes from?"

"Isn’t it the aliens?" the Crimson Snake Emperor replied.

The Grand Elder shook his head. "The aliens are one threat. But the true crisis facing the Crimson Moon Dynasty is the Holy Gate of the Heaven and Earth. They have been watching us like a tiger stalking its prey. This alien invasion is, to them, a perfect opportunity—one they will not let slip by. The Holy Gate of the Heaven and Earth has been active in the Pleiades Star System for countless years. We don’t even know the full extent of their infiltration. In such a situation, if I were to fall, how would the Crimson Moon Dynasty resist that man?"

"Grand Elder, you will not fall," the Crimson Snake Emperor finally realized the gravity of the situation.

The Grand Elder chuckled. "I hope so too. I once believed that the future was already set in stone. But now, an unexpected turn has appeared. Perhaps this is my own chance, and whether I can grasp it depends on this moment."

The Crimson Snake Emperor’s pupils shrank. "Grand Elder... are you referring to those two people?"

The Grand Elder nodded. "Exactly. I have tried countless methods over the years, but I have never been able to break through. I thought I had reached the end of my path. But now, there is hope—those two are beyond my perception, which means their cultivation is above mine. This proves that the road ahead still exists; I simply haven’t found the right way. That is why you must never offend them. Whatever the Erythar Star System or those two cultivators ask for, satisfy them to the fullest. In the future, I will find an opportunity to meet them by myself."

The Crimson Snake Emperor had never considered this possibility.

The Grand Elder had always seemed invincible and mysterious, yet even he was facing the threat of falling.

Even more shocking was that his fate might be tied to those two people from Erythar Star System.

"Grand Elder, I understand. I will immediately order our people to deliver the most detailed intelligence on the aliens to the embassy."

"As long as you understand," the Grand Elder said, nodding in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Sharif and Rafiq had only just returned to the embassy when the Crimson Moon Dynasty Royal Family’s representatives arrived hot on their heels.

The timing was almost uncanny—just as they stepped through the door, the emissaries arrived right behind them, delivering the most comprehensive set of intelligence reports.

"What does your Crimson Snake Emperor mean by this?" Sharif could more or less guess that this information was all the intelligence the Crimson Moon Dynasty Royal Family had gathered since the alien invasion.

It looked extremely detailed.

"You are all guests in the Crimson Moon Dynasty. Our Crimson Snake Emperor has said that he will do his best to fulfill your requests."

The envoy conveyed the Crimson Snake Emperor’s words before leaving to report back.

"What is the Crimson Moon Dynasty trying to do?" Rafiq scratched his head, unable to figure out their intentions.

When they first arrived, the Crimson Moon Dynasty had been hostile toward them at every turn.

Yet, in such a short time, not only had their attitude softened, but they now seemed eager to curry favor with them.

The drastic change puzzled everyone.

They couldn’t understand why the empire’s stance had shifted so quickly.

"You all really don’t know?" Sharif asked calmly, glancing at the group.

Khalil and the others exchanged looks.

It would be a lie to say they hadn’t noticed.

Any observant person could tell that this shift was at least ninety-nine percent due to Ms. Amalia and Mr. Kenny.

"While the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s situation may appear stable on the surface, in reality, it is riddled with hidden dangers. What you see is only the exterior," Sharif said with a confident smile.

"Minister Sharif, what should we do then?" Khalil asked.

Sharif replied, "You don’t need to do anything. Just act as usual. Doing too much might only backfire."

Afterward, Sharif had the alien intelligence copied before sending the original to Amalia and Kenny Lin.

Khalil volunteered to deliver the documents to the top floor.

He thought he would see Amalia, but when the door opened, it was Kenny Lin who greeted him.

The smile on Khalil’s face almost froze.

"You don’t seem very happy to see me," Kenny Lin leaned against the doorframe, making no move to let him in.

"N-No, that’s not it," Khalil quickly glanced inside, but he didn’t see Amalia anywhere.

"If not, then why are you peeking inside?"

Khalil hesitated for a moment before deciding to be honest. "I was hoping to see Ms. Amalia. I actually wanted to ask him some questions about cultivation."

Kenny Lin smirked. "Can’t Rafael and Duan Yao answer your questions? Why must it be Amalia?"

Khalil felt like crying.

The truth was, he simply preferred dealing with Amalia.

Kenny Lin was far too unpredictable—harder to figure out than even a woman’s mood swings.

"They went out. Besides, it’s not just me; others also have questions for Ms. Amalia."
