Chapter 488: A Jaded Wang Baole

Wang Baole's expression remained unchanged when he heard what the Grand Supreme Elder said, but his heart dropped. Doubt arose in his mind. It seemed as if… there was another message hidden in Li Xingwen's words.

It seemed like all mist and fog, but when coupled with a certain premise, everything seemed clear. The premise being… that Li Xingwen knew who the owner of the Dark Artifact was!

That's impossible… Wang Baole felt slightly sheepish. He couldn't help but think about Li Xingwen's words with that premise in mind. With that in mind… it was clear that Li Xingwen was saying that the Dark Artifact's owner must display overwhelming power that would awe and overpower the Federation, all with an absence of ill intention. In that way, the Federation would be able to set its mind at ease completely. It would also not dare to harbor further covetous thoughts towards the Dark Artifact… at least, not in the short term.
