Chapter 789
The emperor’s situation most likely had to do with the Kleins.
Otherwise, he would not havee forward to save Andrius, let alone travel all this way to reveal
these secrets.
“It’s a long story.” Registus‘ expression wasplicated as he took a deep breath.

Then, he organized his thoughts and started to exin, “Many years ago, the public affairs of Florence
seemed to be controlled by the imperial court in Kiyoto, but in reality, the ones truly pulling the strings
were the five ancient martial families operating in the shadows.”
The ancient martial families!
This was the first time Noir, Halle, and Andrius heard of their existence in Florence.
“At that time, the five ancient martial families were the Kleins, the Swallows, the Fullers, the Sheppards,
and the Anders.”
After a brief pause, Registus continued, “Andrius, your originalst name was Klein. You were from the
Kleins, which was the leading family among the five ancient martial families!”
Andrius‘ eyes suddenly widened.
Sure enough, the events from the past were connected to his family.
“The Kleins was powerful and possessed a mysterious treasure map, making them the unquestioned
top ancient martial family.”
Registus sighed. “Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as eternal prosperity. Twenty years ago, after the
four other familiesid a long–term n, they suddenly rose from the shadows and wiped out the
Kleins together, aiming to seize their treasure map.”
Registus nced at Andrius as he spoke.
Although Andrius remained silent, his facial muscles twitched continuously, and his fists were clenched
so tightly that his nails almost pierced his palms.
It was clear how enraged he was.
A family massacre was a pain that cut to the bone!
Registus continued, “After annihting the Kleins, the Swallow family became the most powerful among
the top four ancient martial families.
“Of course, the Sheppard, Fuller, and Ander families are not to be underestimated either.
“Even an elder among those families would be able to wipe the floor with the seemingly invincible and
unparalleled Wolf King.”
Halle frowned at those words, looking displeased.
Noir’s expression also darkened as he felt indignant on Andrius‘ behalf
However, Andrius fell into thought. He thought of the insect in his body. The insect was so powerful that
even he could not contend with it, indicating the immense power of the person behind the insect.
“To gain more resources and political favors within Florence, the Swallows sent a fake emperor to
rece me.
“I couldn’tpete with the Swallows, who were the leaders among the four ancient martial families,
so I
willingly relinquished my position and went into hiding, adopting a new identity until today.”
Registus let out a long sigh as if a great burden had been lifted.
Andrius digested all the information and gained a basic understanding of the events of the past, though
the details remained unclear.
However, the details were not important.
Since the four ancient martial families dared toy hands on the Kleins, he would not spare them no
matter how difficult or dangerous the journey might be!
Andrius raised his head to look directly at Registus and asked, “Your Majesty, why are you telling me all
of this now?”
Registus snorted coldly. “My original n was for you, the Wolf King and the central pir of Florence,
to expose everything. That way, it would’ve been highly convincing and incited a strong reaction.
Unfortunately…
“Andrius Moonshade, you’ve disappointed me greatly. You can’t even protect yourself. How can you
control the situation in Florence?”
Those reprimanding words caused Andrius to frown.
However, he did not take it to heart and simply asked, “Why do I have to be the one who exposes all
this?”
