Chapter 197: A great shift in power (pt . 2)
-I . . . Is that really true? Will you really give me the banshees?
Aleister found it difficult to believe what Rothschild was saying .
-Of course . I’m not lying .
-Can I really believe what you’re saying?
-Of course! I’ll write a proper contract, and then I’ll show all the Lords in Pangaea through the Illusion network . You’ll believe me if I do that, right?
The Illusion network that was set up after the 1st Lord meetings became the main method of munication between Lords .
If Rothschild really went against the contract or deal that they signed, he would forever be remembered as trash and a liar .
That was even more so true because his previously ‘kind’ image had been somewhat destroyed by Kang Chul-In in the 1st Lord meetings .
-How about it? It won’t be that difficult for you to bee an Overlord again once you agree to my conditions .
-Are those conditions really it? You just want me to block Kang Chul-In, and that’s it?
-Well, there are a few more…
-Of course…
-But they won’t be that difficult for you to follow . You can make your decision again after I tell you the other conditions .
-I . . . Is that so? Then show me the new condi…
-But before that .
- . . . ?
-I think it would be better if you got rid of that Korean bitch that’s next to you . Let’s talk alone .
Rothschild demanded that Aleister take Kim Sung-hee away .
-Why? This woman is my subordinate…
-Do you still not know? That woman is the daughter of the Gusung pany in Korea . And… you do know that Kang Chul-In is Korean, right?
- . . . !
-Overlord Aleister . You’ve been watched by Overlord Kang Chul-In for the last couple of months .
At this, Aleister suddenly turned to look at Kim Sung-hee .
“Is that true?”
Kim Sung-hee was startled; she didn’t know that Rothschild would be able to realize who she was .
“No, that’s not true . ”
Even though Kim Sung-hee denied,
“Well… it doesn’t really matter even if it’s not true . I was going to make you into a banshee at some point anyway . ”
“M-Milord!”
“Don’t you think it’s right for me to get rid of a potential source of danger, no matter how small it is?”
Saying that, blackish energy started to emerge from Aleister’s hands .
“Huhu… bee my beautiful undead soldier…”
Aleister activated his special ability, the touch of death, and ran towards Kim Sung-hee .
----------
“ . . . Yes, that’s it . ”
Kwak-Jung finished his explanation .
“Even though we’re not sure what extra conditions Rothschild came up with, the two of them have definitely allied together . ”
“So you’re saying that while I was cleaning up the situation, he was doing this?”
“Yes, and to be honest… it wasn’t a bad move from Rothschild . Even though Milord did gain some benefits, Rothschild was able to gain time, which is something that can’t be bought even with money . ”
“Right . And Vilhelm?”
“He’s quiet . It seems like he’s solely focusing on building up his own forces in the North . ”
“Alright . And Kim Sung-hee? It seems like she escaped considering how she was able to get the news to us?”
“Well, she did escape, but… She isn’t in a good condition right now . ”
“Where is she?”
“She’s in the room that’s next to Milord’s . ”
“Let’s go . ”
Kang Chul-In moved immediately .
“ . . . !”
Looking at Kim Sung-hee’s condition, Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened .
Skin that had almost turned pletely black .
Purple lips, that seemed to have no vitality .
Eyes that seemed to have lost focus . . .
Kim Sung-hee looked as if she was no longer human .
“She has the undead virus . ”
“W-What is that?!”
“Basically, she’s been infected by a magical disease that will turn her into an undead . It’s kind of similar to the zombie virus…”
“A-Ahhhh!!”
When he heard the words “zombie virus,” Kwak-Jung ran towards the toilet that was nearby .
And,
“N-Nooooo!!”
Kwak-Jung started to clean his hands crazily, using as much soap as he could . He looked terrified, scared that the virus would spread to him too .
“What are you doing?”
Kang Chul-In looked at Kwak-Jung like he was looking at an idiot .
“W-Wash your hands, Milord!! A disease that spreads can…”
“It doesn’t spread . ”
“Huh?”
“The undead virus doesn’t spread . ”
“ . . . ”
“I told you, it’s a magical disease . Have you seen something like a vampire virus spreading crazily?”
“I-Is that so?”
“Stop acting like a scaredy-cat, and e here . ”
“ . . . Yes . ”
Blushing in shame, Kwak-Jung quickly came and stood next to Kang Chul-In .
“What do you think, Milord? I think…”
“It doesn’t look very hopeful right now . ”
Kang Chul-In said, his eyes narrowing .
“She’ll bee an undead monster within a week or so . ”
“Ha… an undead, huh?”
“We’ll have to move her to Pangaea . There’s no way to save her on earth . ”
“Is it even possible to save her? Normally, in movies if you get bitten by a zombie or a vampire…”
“It’s different for the undead virus . Since it’s a magical disease, it will disappear naturally if the person that infected her dies . ”
“You mean Aleister?”
“Exactly . ”
“Don’t tell me, are you planning to kill Aleister within a week…?”
“I can’t; that’s impossible . ”
If he had the strength to be able to suddenly kill Aleister within a week, Kang Chul-In would have been able to conquer Pangaea already .
“Is there no other method?”
“Well… we can cure her with a medicine called the ‘tear of purity’, although it’ll be extremely difficult to find an alchemist with that level of skill . ”
“ . . . ”
“But I’ll save her, no matter what . ”
Kang Chul-In wasn’t planning on letting Kim Sung-hee bee an undead .
The reason why Kim Sung-hee had gone under Aleister was because of his promise that he would let her get stronger .
To ignore someone like her, who risked her life for him?
What servant would trust a lord who pletely ignored and mistreated his subordinates?
The second Kang Chul-In throws Kim Sung-hee away is the moment the way that Kwak-Jung looks at him would change .
“Now, we’re going back to Pangaea immediately . ”
Saying that,Kang Chul-In picked up Kim Sung-hee cautiously .
Creak…
At that moment, the door to the room opened, and an old man appeared .
“Are you Kang Chul-In?”
“Yes, what is it?”
“I’m Sung-hee’s father . ”
This man was the owner of the Gusung group: president Kim Hyun-sung .
“Let’s talk . ”
“Fine . ”
“I would like to have a chat with you, alone . ”
“Very well . ”
Kang Chul-In agreed to president Kim Hyun-sung’s request .
---------
After the short meeting with President Kim, Kang Chul-In immediately took Kim Sung-hee and returned to Pangaea .
“Milord, what did you talk about with President Kim?”
“You don’t need to know . ”
But Kang Chul-In decided to ignore Kwak-Jung’s question .
“Hmph… I am the strategist of the territory…”
“Trust me, you don’t want to know unless you want to get hurt . ”
“ . . . !”
“It’s nothing important, so don’t be curious about it . ”
“Alright…”
Ignoring the depressed Kwak-Jung, Kang Chul-In went towards the Lord’s hall .
“Milord! You’ve e!”
There, Lucia greeted Kang Chul-In happily as always .
“I’ve heard that you’ve done a lot of things in your hometown, Milord!”
“So the news has already spread?”
“That’s right, Milord! Milord’s feats have already spread throughout the territory! The citizens have e to further respect you!”
The dead body of the Bone Dragon that had arrived in Laputa a few days ago was a kind of evidence to show how powerful Kang Chul-In was as a lord .
To think their Lord would hunt a Bone Dragon; it was truly an amazing feat .
“And the project?”
“Just like you’ve ordered, the magical engineers are currently working on creating the engines and cannons . ”
Kang Chul-In was planning to modify the Bone Dragon’s body and make it into a bomber that flew across the sky .
“Oh? That quick?”
At the extreme speed of the project, Kang Chul-In smiled in satisfaction .
“Oh, and where’s Alfred?”
“He should be outside taking care of the plants . ”
“Tell him to e to the hospital area . ”
“Yes, Milord . ”
After ordering Lucia, Kang Chul-In headed towards the hospital and was able to meet Alfred 10 minutes later .
“How is she?”
“Hmm… a lot of it has already spread; she’ll bee fully undead in 3 days . ”
3 days was much faster than the 1 week Kang Chul-In had estimated .
“And if you help?”
Kang Chul-In asked .
As a true vampire, Alfred had the ability to send his life force into someone else .
“Hmm… if I try my hardest, I think I can delay it up to 30 days . ”
“Then do that . ”
“ . . . Sorry?”
“I really need to save her . ”
“M-Milord… don’t tell me you want to do the Blood Heal for 30 days…”
Alfred looked as if he was about to cry .
“Thanks . Alright, I’ll be going now . ”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In ran away . He knew from experience that for these things, he had to run away quickly .
“ . . . I would rather die . ”
Alfred murmured, about to have a mental breakdown .
------
“The officials of Laputa shall meet in an hour . ”
Kang Chul-In manded . He was planning to conquer Aleister’s Deathwin territory before he got any backup from Alex Rothschild .
But,
“Milord!”
Before the meeting started, Lucia quickly ran towards the Lord’s hall and reported to Kang Chul-In .
“What is it?”
“Apparently, an envoy has e from Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm!”
“ . . . !”
“They’re asking to meet with Milord . ”
“Don’t tell me . . . Is it her?”
Kang Chul-In tilted his head .
“Sorry?”
“No, it’s nothing . Let them in . ”
“Yes, Milord . ”
Lucia nodded, and Kang Chul-In was able to meet the envoy sent by Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm .
“Hello, sir . ”
The envoy was beautiful .
Glistening blonde hair and deep blue eyes . She was a stereotypical example of a beautiful blonde woman .
It’s been a while, Minerva .
Kang Chul-In knew who she was .
Why wouldn’t he?
Minerva .
Otherwise known as the Queen of Diplomats .
She was such a terrifying diplomat that even Lee Gong-Myung would have to stay silent in front of her regarding diplomacy .
“I’m a subordinate to Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the great Bifrost territory . ”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, Lord Kang Chul-In . ”
“Stand up . ”
“Yes . ”
“e closer . ”
Kang Chul-In motioned towards his throne .
“Goodbye . ”
“Huh?”
Startled, Minerva asked .
SUK!
A blackish light flashed before cutting through Minerva’s neck .
Puak!!
Blood bursted out, dyeing the area near Kang Chul-In red .
Tuk .
Minerva’s head rolled on the floor .
“ . . . !”
“ . . . !”
“ . . . !”
The officials of Laputa instantly froze .
“M-Milord!!”
Kwak-Jung shouted in shock .
Even though Kang Chul-In was famed for doing whatever he wanted, to think he would just cut off the head of an envoy who was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs in another territory . . .
“Request a call to Albrecht Vilhelm . ”
Laughing, Kang Chul-In ordered with a cold voice .
