Chapter 1054 A Step Away

• Subtle shifts were taking place throughout Baridoki. Zebediah biding his time led many to believe that he was fearful of the Sky Emperor and the winds of change were blowing.
• Naturally, the young emperor didn't dare to take action against Zebediah, as the latter had the Commanders of the Nine Gates under his command, each leading their respective armies. If Zebediah were to stage a coup, the consequences would be too much for the young emperor to bear.
• Although Jonathan had no equal, he could only intimidate Zebediah. If faced with a massive army, with archers at the ready, Jonathan would have no choice but to flee with his tail between his legs.
