Chapter 243: The Secret of Im and the Celestial Dragon’s Arrogance
"How do you know this name?" Rayleigh couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Rayleigh had a deep impression of that name. Just thinking about it filled him with unease and fear.
Mio shook his head gently, not answering directly. Instead, he asked, "Do you know this person?"
Rayleigh was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and spoke in a deep voice. "Yes, I have seen this person with Roger... in Raftel."
Rayleigh's voice was slow, as if he were remembering the moment. "That person is incredibly strong. Very, very strong. Even if Roger and I joined forces, we might not be her match. But she didn't seem hostile to us at the beginning. That part confused me. According to Roger, Im is the true ruler of the World Government—our natural enemy."
Rayleigh looked at Mio and added seriously, "In short, she's an extremely dangerous existence. She can even live forever. She's survived from eight hundred years ago until now. No one truly knows how deep or terrifying her strength is."
Mio agreed completely with Rayleigh's evaluation—Im was extremely dangerous.
Still, Mio asked, "Then, do you know whether this Im... is a man or a woman?"
Hearing that, Rayleigh looked at Mio strangely, surprise flashing in his eyes. "The way you're asking... it seems you've seen her?"
"Im... is a woman," Rayleigh said with a faint smile. "I was surprised too, the first time I saw her. A woman who has ruled the World Government for centuries."
Upon hearing Rayleigh's confirmation, Mio nodded slightly.
