Wilhelmina had many speculations about the mysterious person before her, but there wasn't a single certainty she could use to confirm this person's abilities!
Hikaru's identity that he currently allowed others to know was his identity as the Shin Emperor.
And the Shin Emperor was only slightly understood by Kasumigaoka Utaha, Isayama Yomi, and Touma Kazusa.
He was now slowly going to step into the entire world, so these identities would surely be revealed little by little.
Hikaru also didn't want to keep hiding. Regarding Wilhelmina, he was definitely determined to obtain her.
Rather than just directly seizing Shana from the Flame Haze Army.
He hoped more that the entire Flame Haze Army could become allies who would help protect Shana.
At this moment, the calculations in Hikaru's heart were already ringing loudly.
He even thought that this method was more guaranteed than plundering.
"Wilhelmina? Right?"
Hikaru deliberately called out the name of the woman before him with a slightly questioning tone.
He actually already knew long ago, because he had been monitoring the matters of the Flame Haze Army and Shana from the beginning.
Until now, when this was the most appropriate time to act, he was only slowly beginning to draw back his attention.
Clearly, Wilhelmina was slightly shocked that Hikaru directly called her name.
Wilhelmina slowly raised her head, even her shocked pupils hadn't had time to contract.
"It seems you've already investigated us very clearly, then I believe this negotiation is unfair."
Wilhelmina slowly suppressed her shocked and fearful emotions, still trying hard to keep her aura from being suppressed by the man before her.
However, this was clearly futile. Outsiders could clearly see that the difference in their auras was too great.
Hikaru wasn't angry at this statement. He raised his eyebrows very mockingly and curved his lips.
"Alright, I admit what you said does make sense."
"But I'm not like what you think, investigating you for so long."
"I simply always knew."
Hikaru stepped back several paces.
"Since I know your identity, then for the sake of what you call fairness, allow me to introduce myself now."
Hikaru slowly closed his eyes, crossed his hands at his shoulders, and his entire body floated slightly about ten centimeters from the ground.
Thousands of strands of light from all directions slowly enveloped him.
Gradually forming an intricate emblem above his head.
"Th-The Shin Emperor!?"
Wilhelmina completely disregarded the aura she had just created.
She looked shocked, stiffly opening her bright red lips.
Even her body swayed and stepped back several paces.
It seemed her previous speculation wasn't wrong, this man before her possessed extraordinary power.
No wonder this tightly guarded defense system didn't recognize him.
No wonder no matter how strong the attack, it wouldn't injure him in the slightest.
No wonder he knew her information so easily, inside and out.
It turned out this man before her was none other than the world-renowned Shin Emperor!
Hikaru also didn't immediately boast when seeing Wilhelmina's reaction like this.
This was merely one of his most common identities that he showed to others.
Hikaru slowly withdrew the emblem and slowly descended to the ground.
This was his unique way of introducing himself.
"I believe it's fair now, right?"
Hikaru didn't care at all about Wilhelmina's shock at his identity.
Instead, he straightforwardly revealed all his thoughts.
He knew that if he rambled too much here, it would become increasingly difficult to conquer.
He had to use the least amount of effort to conquer this place.
"The importance of Shana to the Dimensional Lists of the entire world, I think I don't need to say much."
"The position of the Flame Haze Army in all the Dimensional Lists, you also know yourselves."
"When I said I want to take Shana away, it doesn't mean seizing Shana from your side."
"Clearly we have a more mutually beneficial way."
Wilhelmina fell silent hearing this. Hikaru also stopped his words at the right time.
He knew that for an intelligent conversation, stopping here was enough.
Wilhelmina sank into contemplation...
Every word Hikaru had just spoken truly struck her weak point.
The reason they needed Shana so much was because she had very strong leadership abilities in the Dimensional List.
This was the talent the entire Flame Haze Army needed.
But Hikaru was forced to make her realize that if today it wasn't the Shin Emperor who came to seize her, then others would also come.
However, the Flame Haze Army was indeed not a very powerful organization.
It could only be said they were capable of being independent.
Did they truly have the ability to protect Shana?
Not necessarily.
Hikaru then spoke again.
"If you can join under the protection of the Shin Emperor, I think there's nothing more you need to worry about."
Hikaru's words up to this point were already very clear.
He gave them very generous treatment, unprecedented.
