CHAPTER 446
The meeting of the emperor with his entourage and the Amazons lasted all day. Only when the sun began to set, a luxurious carriage with the imperial shield arrived at the Palace of Cannaris.
Since everyone wanted to keep this meeting a secret, the carriage entered the VIP area of the Cannaris Palace and the Amazons disembarked without anyone knowing who they were.
Many were interested in knowing who received the emperor's attention, especially Dayana, since it was related to Andrew and at this moment they are enemies.
Unfortunately, no one could find any information about it. The Amazons were guided by Victor to their rooms to rest, but Elder Hacta went to Andrew's office.
Andrew was there with his wives and children, but upon seeing the arrival of Elder Hacta, the girls decided to leave with the children and leave them alone. They knew that Elder Hacta had come to see Andrew because she needed to discuss something serious.
Although Andrew didn't mind them listening, the look on Elder Hacta's face said she wanted to discuss something alone. After the girls left with the children, Andrew invited the old woman to sit down and served her tea.
The old woman took a sip and placing the cup on the table she looked at Andrew seriously and asked, "Don't you want to know what we discussed with the emperor?" The question surprised Andrew, but he quickly regained his composure and responded, "If you guys want me to know, you're sure to tell me."
Elder Hacta smiled a little upon hearing the answer and took another sip of her tea, before speaking again, "You're right about that. You really don't need to know, since these are conversations about exchanges between the empire and us."
The old lady paused and continued saying, "Although you have close connections with us, it's really not something that affects you, so you do not need to know." Andrew understood what the elder Hacta meant, so she just nodded.
However, soon after, Andrew asked, "However, you didn't come here just to tell me that, right?", to which the elder Hacta replied, "That's right. My visit has another implication."
Again the old woman paused and continued, "We learned that your relationship with the empire is a bit strained, not to mention that you have many enemies in this place, so I wanted to ask, Why are you still here?"
Andrew was again taken by surprise, as he did not expect that the elder Hacta would want to talk about this at this time. Elder Hacta reading his thoughts added, "Make no mistake, this is not what I want to discuss, it just made me curious."
Although Andrew didn't know where the elder Hacta was going with her question, he still responded, "Well, this is the city where I started. While it is true that I was born and lived most of my life in the city of Calci, this was where I began my true path."
The elder Hacta obviously understood what Andrew meant by starting his true path, so she nodded and spoke again, "Although it is not of your concern, the conversations went relatively well. Tomorrow we will continue with some matters, but I wanted to tell you that I spoke to the emperor on your behalf."
Andrew said nothing and remained attentive. Then the elder Hacta continued to say, "I didn't demand anything extraordinary, I just asked the emperor to give you some support, but he refused."
"No wonder," Andrew said sarcastically, but Elder Hacta didn't seem to care and she continued, "According to the emperor, you are both a risk and an opportunity. The problem is that they have not identified which of the two."
"Honestly, I have helped them on several occasions, but it seems that the more I help them, the more they suspect me," Andrew said with a heavy tone. "Well, humans are a too changeable race, so few have the ability to identify a god candidate like us," Elder Hacta suddenly said.
"Do you want me to reveal this information to them?" Andrew asked strangely, but Elder Hacta shook her head and said, "Not at all. That would be a bad move. Like I said, humans are changeable, and revealing that information to them would only make them want to take advantage of you."
"So?" Andrew continued to ask and the old woman responded, "I come to you with two warnings. The first is that you keep that card hidden from the emperor and his people. It is true that they are watching you, but I could tell that they have no malice towards you, they are just careful."
The elder Hacta paused to see that Andrew understood her point and upon seeing him nod she continued speaking, "The second warning is to be careful with the demigods of this city."
Andrew wrinkled his eyebrows upon hearing this and couldn't stop himself from asking, "What do you mean?", to which the old woman replied, "Demigods are not tied to countries, they only share some benefits, but it is for this very reason that they have their own thoughts."
"You mean the demigods could attack me?" Andrew continued to ask and the elder Hacta replied, "Boy, we demigods are no different from ordinary people. When we see a benefit in front of us we take it."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What you have shown so far may not be of much interest to the demigods, but if they find out about your position, things will be different and you are already on the radar of those who live in this city and its surroundings," she continued saying.
"Serving as an intermediary for you and the empire got me on their radar, right?" Andrew asked trying to confirm his speculations and the elder Hacta nodded.
"I'm sorry we caused you this trouble, but always keep this in mind, we Amazons will always be your allies," the elder Hacta said seriously. Andrew could sense the sincerity in the Amazon's words and with a small bow of respect he said, "I appreciate the sincere words."
The old woman accepted the gesture, but at the same time said, "It may be problematic, but do not leave your sanctuaries in this city. You can even ignore the emperor's summons."
These words surprised Andrew again because this meant that the situation was more serious than he thought, but before he could ask or say anything, the old woman spoke again, "You don't have to worry about retaliation from the emperor. I will make sure he understands."
Andrew had no idea how the old woman would achieve that, but, still, he nodded and then Elder Hacta finished her tea and, saying goodbye, left. Andrew was left alone in the office thinking, "Maybe I should leave this place."
Shortly after the elderly Hacta had left, Andrew's wives entered the office. Oliver, Marie, Vala, Castor, and Sansa accompanied them, it was obvious that they wanted to know what the old woman had told him.
Zany and Sansa, despite being Amazons, had not received any information from their sisters. They had even taken advantage of the old woman's absence to go ask them about what had happened, but they still couldn't get anything.
Andrew did not hide from them what elder Hacta had told him. He calmly told them the entire conversation and everyone listened attentively in silence. When Andrew finished telling what had happened, everyone fell silent.
It seemed that everyone had the thought of leaving the city, but no one dared to speak. Fortunately, Castor, who knew him best, did not hesitate to say, "You know, you can leave this business running on its own."
The implications of his comment were obvious. Castor was telling him that it was better to leave this place since his presence was not necessary for his business to work.
Everyone turned to look at Andrew after Castor's words. Everyone wanted to know what decision Andrew would make and seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Andrew said, "We can't leave this place yet."
Before anyone could say anything, Andrew continued, "We must first define Dayana's matter. When we finish that, we can move." Everyone was surprised because, after the first words, they thought that Andrew would refuse to leave.
Seeing them so surprised, Andrew smiled and said, "I've actually been thinking this for a long time. In this city, we only have problems and little support, so it is better to move our operations center to another country."
"Do you have anything in mind?", this time it was Oliver who asked and Andrew replied, "I think the best options are Tampilla or Dunnas. Personally, I lean more toward Dunnas, but it all depends on the Victoria client."

Everyone wrinkled their eyebrows in confusion. They didn't understand what Victoria had to do with the matter. But before they could ask, Andrew said, "Victoria's last request seemed to come from the royal family of Dunnas. If we manage to establish good relations with them, it would be a perfect destination."
After hearing these words, everyone began to ask questions. They knew that Victoria had asked Andrew for something, but at the same time they didn't know what it was, so Andrew explained everything that happened to them.
Some of the weaker-minded girls like Sansa, upon hearing about the sex toys, were saddened, but still said nothing. As he finished explaining to them, Oliver spoke again, "Let's hope everything goes on the right path."
Everyone nodded in agreement at Oliver's words, but at that moment Candice asked, "What about my vision?" This question confused some since they were not present, so they had to explain it to them.
Although they were shocked, it did not cause panic. They knew that they were completely safe in the Heavenly Palace and Castor somewhat coldly said, "I think we shouldn't worry. Let the emperor and his people worry about that problem. We have no obligation to them."
