After a whole day of going around the many countries and talking with the Emperors and governments, as well as making public announcements, Ning finally returned back to the tower.
There was still the Serian Emperor to talk to, but he decided to relax first.
"How did it go?" Merasi asked from the side of the room.
They were currently in Ning's room on the 52nd floor of the tower. He was resting on his sofa, looking to the outside with nothing but disappointment in his eyes.
"Not very good," Ning said with a sigh. "At least, not good for the tower."
"Oh, what happened?" Merasi asked with concern. She hadn't heard any news from the outside since she had been resting while Ning went around on a diplomatic mission.
"Every single country is throwing out the Aether Tower from their lands. I managed to hide the knowledge about the deal, but the rest is impossible to get rid of," Ning said.
"The deal? What deal?" Merasi asked.
