The Heaven Emperor had made many guesses about how his ploy to get close to the unknown powerhouse would end up.
At best, the other party would accept his offer, and he would be saved. He could perhaps use this opportunity to deal with Liora.
At worst, the other party would attack both him and Liora. By that point, he would be able to force her to cooperate with him to fight against this man.
Then, he would have many chances to successfully escape his current predicament.
Besides these, the Zerg Servant had made several other contingency plans, based on the unknown man's decision.
However, what he had never expected, and could thus not prepare for, was the scene in front of him.
The man neither responded to the offer nor did he choose to attack them.
Instead, he remained motionless, allowing Liora to approach them and stand beside him.
The Heaven Emperor's mind short-circuited for a split second.
He couldn't understand how the man had suddenly become so approachable.
