Chapter 784: The death of the Golden Emperor (I)
The Golden Emperor took a deep breath, but he could not hide the sense of impotence and embarrassment on his face.
"Michael had infiltrated two of The Organization's Dark Kings into the Silver City, the Mirage King and Doppelganger King. Now, only those two were able to hide from my sight, but they were currently guarding my family..."
The Golden Emperor paused at this point, clenching his teeth with despair, impotence, and rage in his eyes clear, revealing just how much that situation had affected him.
"If I had killed myself and triggered the warning signal across the Sectors, Michael promised that he would have made those two kill my entire family before taking over the empire by force. I understand that I was selfish, prioritizing the safety of my blood over that of the rest of the empire, but I could not bear the thought of them all perishing.
Even a few months ago, when I was able to connect to the outside world after you triggered Kamel's sacred treasures, I did not dare to share the truth."
The Golden Emperor looked at Cain for a moment, his face filled with fear as he posed the next question.
"Michael is dead, right?"
Cain nodded, observing tears fall from the Golden Emperor's eyes.
"I wonder, where did I go wrong? I was not the best father, but he was my greatest achievement, always excelling in everything. Where did I fail?"
The Golden Emperor's voice was full of sadness. Even after all Michael did, he still loved his firstborn, and knowing his demise was like a blade to the heart, even more painful than the black roots piercing through his body.
