Chapter 1161: Against The Emperor Velgoth (Part 1)

"The real reason I want to kill you is because there are some people who want you alive— and I won't let those bastards have their way."

Evan was stunned when he heard Emperor Velgoth's words. He had thought of many reasons why Velgoth might have such a strong killing intent toward him, but he never expected the reason to be so strange.

He wanted to kill him simply because someone else wanted him alive, and Velgoth had a grudge against them so by killing him, he wanted to sabotage their plans.

While the reason was unexpected, it only made Evan even more cautious. From Velgoth's cold tone, it was obvious that he absolutely hated whomever it was that wanted Evan alive. But for some reason, he couldn't confront them directly, so he decided to kill Evan instead.

Emperor Velgoth was a Rank Five Core Evolver, and if even he couldn't do anything to those people, it meant they were at least as powerful as him—if not stronger.
