After being questioned by Francis, Jeffrey pondered for a moment before he said, "Boss's strength is far superior to the four emperors. It's the first time I've seen such powerful wind pressure generated from mere punches!" 

"How much punching strength is needed to create such force? 10-million kilograms? 100-million kilogram? Or higher?" He wondered. 

The realm was simply unreal to him. 

Shortly after, Jeffrey hammered his palm with a fist in enlightenment and exclaimed, "Emperor Polemos must be the boss's grandson instead!" 

'Holy sh*t!' 

Francis keeled over and waved his white flag of surrender to Jeffrey in his heart. He was defeated by the person's level of stupidity. 

"Bloody hell, mate. How can you not get it?" Francis asked. 

Jeffrey was stunned before he uttered dumbly, "Emperor Polemos isn't the boss's grandson?" 

"No! If Emperor Polemos heard you, you would probably get beheaded!" Francis stated. 

At the same time, Albion smiled wryly. 

The world could lack anything, but the one thing it did not lack were idiots, and Jeffrey was a certified idiot. 

However, he could not say that the person was wrong. 

The Dark Emperor was a father figure and a 10-thousand-year-old monster. He could indeed be considered Polemos's grandpa if not father.

Rumble…

The droid starship arrived sometime later and hovered above the icy-cold waters offshore from Stronghold 01 before droids were deployed in droves. 

They dropped straight into the water and sunk to the bottom to receive the mineral package.

Shortly after, the giant rods rose above the water surface through the same technology used in its heavy braking system—anti-gravity technology.

Shoosh~

Water rushed off the surface giant rods before the curious onlookers could see the hundreds of droids connected to each giant rod like lego pieces, becoming a part of it. 

Swish~!

The bottom half of the giant rod rose above the water surface shortly after, making the giant rod look like a big nail that's just floating on its side—when, in truth, it was actually a ship!

A portion of the droids became add-on propellers that started rotating at high speed before the ship took a brief moment to reach the shore before the stronghold. 

"Jesus Christ! That is f*cking cool!" Jeffrey exclaimed before his eyes lit up brightly and said, "I want to dissect these robots and ships and see how they are built!"

"Yeah, sure. If you're not afraid of offending Emperor Polemos. Those are his properties," Francis shrugged nonchalantly. 

Shortly after the ship reached shore and the droids detached themselves to unload the minerals outside the stronghold's walls, a droid stopped before Albion and greet, "PDC-09 greets the Lord and awaits further instruction?"

"PDC-09, huh? Seems like that's your codename…" Albion muttered before he nodded and said, "Alright. See this person here? Follow his instruction and assist him in his project." 

"Understood," PDC-09 complied. 

"Alright, the package has arrived. Now that you don't lack any resource and labor force, you can start the project whenever," Albion said to Jeffrey.

"Yes, Boss!" Jeffrey gazed at the droid commander passionately before he said, "I will start right away!" 

Shortly after Jeffrey took the droids with him, Francis stepped for and asked, "What about me, Boss? What do you want me to do?"

Albion gave the biogenetic researcher a glance for a moment.

"I know you said you were a biogenetic researcher," Albion mentioned briefly before asking, "But what are you researching around here exactly?"

The interdimensional creatures from the virtual dimension cannot be considered living organisms until they complete their first evolution.

Francis faintly guessed Albion's thoughts and said with a nod, "I have indeed been studying the evolution process of interdimensional creatures to understand how the process of transforming virtual into reality was made possible, initially anyway." 

"Initially?" Albion repeated. 

"Three months ago, the exploration team made a startling discovery in an unexplored underground cavern. It quickly received the highest level of confidentiality from the world government, and I was chosen to head the research team in studying the new lifeforms discovered there."

"And what kind of lifeforms did you discover there exactly?" Albion continued to query with slight amusement. 

Albion could see that Francis had completely jumped ship and put his life in his hand, considering he was willing to spill government-confidential secrets.

"In short, they are similar to insects, but it's a bit hard to explain without showing you what it is, Boss. It's better if I take you there before I continue to explain," Francis said. 

"A scientist like you find it had to come up with an explanation for something?" Albion commented amusedly before shrugged nonchalantly, "I guess it's understandable. Even writers can't write or describe things sometimes."

"Lead the way." Albion gestured shortly after and said, "I would see just what kind of startling discovery it is made government-confidential secret."

"Yes, boss!" Francis complied and said, "Please follow me to my lab." 

"Alright." 

After taking few steps, Fenriri stopped him with a few tugs on his t-shirt before asking, "Can Fenriri come and take a look as well, Master?"

"No, you and your sister need to stay here and help with communication between the others and your tribesmen," Albion rejected her request before stating, "I'll be back later. It's not too late for you to come to see next time." 

"Oh.. alright then."

Fenriri's tail drooped slightly before Albion left with Francis shortly after without hesitation. 

Silvercove City, South Suburban District.

Rumble…

At roughly 10PM, 4 hours until the start of the welcoming banquet on Damocles, another starship arrived in the city and hovered above the abandoned gym.

"Hou!"

"Ha!"

"Hai-yah!"

Loud grunts and exclamations could be heard inside the abandoned gym as the Chen, Yan, and Declan Gang continued to practice martial arts, completely absorbed in their training and oblivious to their unexpected visitor until—

Bam!

A figure dropped straight into the abandoned gym through the hole in the rooftop with a heavy thud and startled all the gang members.

Everyone shot a glare at the sudden visitor with alarm before Reagan Declan barked, "Who are you?! Are you lost or something? Do you know where this is?"

"The Chen, Yan, and Declan Gang, I presumed?" 

The middle-aged man with sharp brows and towering presence asked before Reagan Declan frowned and nodded, "That's right!" 

"Then, I have come to the right place," the middle-aged man stated calmly.
