In the end, Ternius brought him directly to the emperor.
"So…" The emperor was speechless. Nathan intended never to return to this place in the past, so he was rather skeptical to find him here. "Are you going to join the dynasty since you came back here?"
"No. I come here to request your help." Nathan shook his head calmly.
"My help?" The emperor frowned. "Whenever you asked for help, it would be transactional, and the problem wasn't exactly small. So, I'd like to hear the problem first."
"I thought you were going to reject me right away." Nathan smiled.
"Well…" The emperor looked at Nathan. "You have changed. That pair of eyes… I don't know exactly what's going on, but you must have encountered something great.
"Still, you come to me for help, so I guess it's worth listening to. It's not like your compensation is small."
Nathan smiled. "Thanks."
"Really… Why would you come to this continent again? This time, you even bring another woman with you." Ternius frowned.
