章節 833: Bruises

The distress signal soon attracted allied ships, which replied to the message and waited at the Global Army's domain's border for Khan's ride to arrive.

The four ships immediately encircled Khan's ride, acting as a defensive escort. Questions reached Khan, many probing about his business in the Empire's domain, but he only had orders for his allies.

"Get me Thomas Nognes," Khan ordered to his escort. "I also want Rebecca Nognes and all the Princes and Princesses."

The sudden summon inevitably alerted the escort about the seriousness of the situation. However, Khan wielded the authority to call on a similar meeting, and the only figure who could oppose him wasn't invited. His Grandfather could interfere, so Khan kept him out on purpose.

Khan's decision had another goal. He didn't think Alexander would interfere with the family meeting, but the faction was in his hands now. He needed to preside over the encounter as the de facto leader.
