The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 99: The whole story, the truth revealed, the next plan.

After a while, Ken regained his composure completely, and he stood up and said to Kahn:

"I'm sorry to have shown you such a cowardly and ugly side."

Kahn also disliked that kind of scene, so he didn't mention it much, only saying:

"That's alright, let's get back to business."

Getting back to the main topic, Ken became serious again and said:

"So, do you want Ershu to regain her memories to help you? Or do you just need the truth about what happened that night?"

"If it's the latter, I can tell you now."

"You know that?!"

"Yes, I know. Ershu told me about this before."

Ken nodded and began negotiating:

"Will this information guarantee that my and Ershu's peaceful life will not be disturbed?"

Since he couldn't resist, he could only try his best to fight for it.

Kahn was surprised that Ken even knew this kind of information, which showed how much Ershu trusted him. As for his question, Kahn pondered for a moment before saying:

"Well, if it were just for myself, I might agree, but considering Zuko and Azura, I can only apologize."

"You and Ershu now have children, and I think you should understand how important a mother is to her child, and vice versa."

"Does Ershu truly have no feelings for Zuko and Azura, or even want to think about them?"

Kahn's question silenced Ken.

He knew, of course, that Ershu's love for her children was unquestionable. Before accepting the help of the Mother of Face, her biggest struggle was with the memories of Zuko and Azura; she never wanted to forget them.

He managed to persuade her at the last minute, but he couldn't be sure what the outcome would be if they did it all over again.

So he could only sigh and accept Kahn's explanation.

He said:

"Alright, I'll tell Ershu the whole truth and let her choose for herself. But if Ershu chooses to regain her memories and identity, what about her safety?"

Hearing Ken say this, Kahn understood that he had compromised, so he relaxed slightly and assured him:

"Don't worry, we won't let her get a single hair on her head. Our side not only has the renowned fire-wielding master, Airo, but Azura and I are also quite capable."

"That promise is enough; you don't need to tell me anything more. I'm just an ordinary person; I don't understand these things."

Ken waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more. However, by now, he had come to a different understanding.

"Even if I am not capable of protecting Ershu, if there is any danger, I will at least die before her."

"I will make sure you are all safe and sound."

Kahn only said that one sentence at the end, and didn't say anything more.

Talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words.

So everything was basically settled. Next, Ken went back and told Ershu to make her own decision, but if she was unwilling, there was nothing Ken could do.

At that point, Zuko and Azura will probably have to take matters into their own hands.

However, even if Ershu is willing to regain her identity and memories, she will need to wait until the next quarter to seek help from the Mother of Face again. During this time, they will have ample time to prepare mentally.

If Ken chooses to take the opportunity to escape, hopefully he won't do something foolish, otherwise the scene won't be very pleasant.

At this point, Ken stopped hiding it and told Kahn the truth about that night that he had heard from Ershu.

Emperor Azulong ordered the execution of Zukou to punish Aozai, wanting him to experience the pain of losing a son. Although Aozai was resentful, he seemed unwilling to disobey Azulong's order.

However, Azura overheard their conversation and told Ershu the information. Ershu then hurriedly went to Aozai and begged him not to harm Zuko.

In exchange, Ershu gave Aozai a bottle of colorless and odorless deadly poison that she had made herself, and agreed to be banished from the palace and never appear in front of the world again.

Later, on the road, she learned that Aozai had suddenly ascended to the throne and become emperor. She then realized that Aozai had used that bottle of poison to kill Azulong and forged the old emperor's will.

Ershu can also make poison? And her skills are so superb?

Kahn was stunned.

Ken explained to him that Ershu was not an ordinary country girl; she was the granddaughter of Roku, the psychic who had descended to earth in the previous life.

In his old age, Jintsu Roku lived in the Jintsu Temple in the Fire Country, where Jintsu was served. However, one day the volcano there suddenly erupted. Jintsu Roku stayed behind to stop the lava from spreading in order to help people escape, and unfortunately sacrificed himself.

After that, the Fire Nation declared war on the world, and Roku's widow moved to the town of Lach with their daughter to live a life of anonymity, which later led to the birth of Ershu.

Later, a fire servant prophesied that the son of the old emperor Azulong and the offspring of the Avatar would conceive a powerful offspring who would help them achieve their dream of unifying the world.

So Azulong, along with his second son Aozai, went to Ershu's family and forced Ershu to marry Aozai, which was the beginning of all the tragedies.

At this point, the cause and effect of the whole story finally became clear.

To do something like this for a vague prophecy, coupled with Azulong's bizarre brain circuitry in ordering Zuko's death, Kahn couldn't help but sigh that the old emperor was truly a bit brain-dead.

From this perspective, Ao Zai has perfectly inherited A Zu Long's genes. He can only be thankful that Ai Luo didn't inherit these flaws, otherwise it would be too terrifying.

But the most important part of the story is that he finally figured out the truth about that night.

It turns out that Ao Zai killed the old emperor with a special poison made by Er Shu. No wonder there were no wounds on his body. Although they had suspected this before, they finally had a definite answer today, and their plan finally began to move towards the final step.

Next, he can finally tell Ayrho and Zuko the truth about this matter, and Azura can also use this opportunity to completely bring May and Terry into the fold.

Next, they would need to notify their forces to prepare for a counterattack, and the plan to decapitate Ao Zai should also be put on the agenda.

I'm going to be busy again.

Although he's going to be busy, Kahn is full of energy this time.

Because their plan has reached its final stage. Once Ao Zai's rule is overthrown, he will be greeted with an unprecedentedly wonderful life!

Having said all that, Ken prepared to go back and explain everything to Ershu. He also had no intention of staying any longer to avoid creating an awkward situation.

Moreover, before proceeding with the next step of the plan, Kahn faced a very difficult problem that gave him a major headache.

That is--

How should I tell Azura about this?
