I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

"The Lord is not here. Whatever you want to say, just spit it out. I will decide whether it is worth the Lord's time and attention.

Polemos gazed at Empress Una on-screen calmly as he spoke.

"Who are you to decide for the Dark Lord?" Empress Una frowned before she said mockingly, "Do you really think you are that important to the Dark Lord? You are no different from the rest of us."

"But unlike you, we had the courage to betray the Dark Lord openly. If you were so loyal to the Dark Lord, you wouldn't have gone after the Ashura Ring first, and it wouldn't have taken you so long to find the Dark."

"Courage? More like foolishness. Otherwise, why would any of you need to run into hiding now that the Lord has emerged?" Emperor Polemos dropped his casual expression and said with a cold smile.

"If you know me so well, then what makes you think the Lord doesn't understand me any better? The only difference between us is that I am useful to the Lord and have yet to act against him, while the rest of you already have."

"You cannot put it like that," Empress Una said with an alluring smile.

"Perhaps Thanatos and Kasin did, but I have only left to manage the Ashura Group as I have always done. You're just mad because you fell for my charms and dropped your guard, allowing me to deliver the blow that made your cultivation downgraded a level."

As Empress Una spoke, she began acting coy and teasingly exposed part of her cleavage for the audience to see.

Ding!

A pen dropped on the group at the same time everyone's jaws dropped and ogled at Empress Una's flawless skin on-screen in the control room.

"Ahem!"

Emperor Polemos gave a loud cough, causing everyone to snap out of their dazes and recover with awkward expressions.

"Please conduct yourself appropriately, Una. You may be beautiful, but even if you don't care about modesty as a lady, you still have the dignity of an empress to consider. I feel embarrassed to be put in the same ranks as you."

After speaking, Emperor Polemos's expression suddenly turned solemn before he said gravely, "If you are only going to tease my men and not state your intention, then I am going to end the call."

"Wait!" Empress Una quickly shouted before fixing her solemn look and said seriously, "I will talk."

"I want my position as one of the Four Horsemen reinstated to serve the Dark Lord. I will hand over the authority of the Ashura Group back to the Dark Lord and just retain my position as the chief of finance."

Hearing Empress Una's condition, Emperor Polemos felt incredulous, not knowing whether to applaud or mock her for such audacity.

"The Ashura Group was originally founded by the Lord and naturally belongs to the Lord, and yet you want to hand it back as if you are doing the Lord a favor by doing so?" Emperor Polemos mentioned with a frown.

"Did you think it is so easy that you can earn the Lord's forgiveness without cutting off an arm and leg at the very least?" He added.

"I am not that stupid. I haven't said everything," Empress Una calmly stated before pointing her thumb to the back and said, "You should have already guessed that it's not just any forest behind me."

Exotic plants and herbs glowed with the vitality of life while the vague shadows of a towering tree could be barely noticed in the distant background.

"This should be the same forest as that World Tree that recently appeared in the Armentia continent, right? What about it?" Emperor Polemos glanced at Empress Una calmly.

"What about it, you ask? Can your reaction be any more nonchalant? You should have sensed spiritual energy in the world becoming richer due to the World Tree, not to mention all these herbs are spiritual herbs."

"Do you understand what this means? I have befriended the local tribe that rules over this territory and have even established communication with them. With my help, the Lord will not lack resources for alchemy."

Empress Una stated with confidence.

"Have you forgotten where I am?" Emperor Polemos remained unperturbed before he suddenly snapped, "I'm in f*cking space, for god's sake! How would I know if the spiritual energy on Earth has become richer or not?"

"But suppose you are speaking the truth. What makes you think the Lord will need your help in procuring spiritual herbs from the World Tree? With the Lord's strength and means, taking the spiritual herbs by force or trading fairly with the local tribe is up to the Lord's whims."

"Hmph, I've said what I wanted to say. It is up to the Dark Lord whether he wants to make friends or enemies. But don't think for a moment that the local tribe of Elvaraden here is weak!" Empress Una snorted.

Beep.

The video call ended.

Shortly after, a subordinate beside Emperor Polemos frowned and asked with concern, "Wouldn't this cause problem for the Lord, Your Majesty?"

"Why would it? The Lord will be informed about this matter. But whether the Lord chooses to trade or plunder the World Tree's resources, there still isn't any compelling reason for us to be friendly with Empress Una."

"But…"

"No matter how strong Empress Una claims this local tribe to be, it isn't enough to threaten our Lord. Otherwise, Empress Una would not have sought to make peace with our Lord."

Even if the opponents were powerhouses in the Spirit Manifestation Realm or had sufficient resources to reach the True Immortal Realm, none of it mattered.

Without the method to ascend to the True Immortal Realm, they will always be inferior to the Lord.

Emperor Polemos smiled confidently as if he had seen through Empress Una's true intentions.

…

…

…

Armentia continent

Meanwhile, somewhere in the largest forest on the continent where the World Tree was located, Empress Una shifted her gaze away from the black screen and turned to a young-looking man with long blonde hair and sharp ears.

"Well, you've heard what was said. The Dark Lord is such a person, having plundered the world's resources for ten millennia, he will not spare this place. What do you think of our cooperation, Elf King?"
