"On what grounds they dared to accuse ?" Wil's tone was firm as he asked the reporters.
The reporters were once again silent as they didn't know what to say. For one, he is a crown prince, and two the expelled ones are the enemies of Scarlet.
But, they also don't know the powers of the Crown Prince. They aren't sure whether a Crown prince can order a Mayor to expel everyone as he wishes. Only another prince/princess can say that.
If the Crown prince can really do that in one city, then, he can also repeat the sa thing in another city, which ans in theory, he can just expel them from the kingdom itself but Wil didn't do that either
Another issue is that the real culprit of the incident, the Mayor was already dead and those supposed subordinate guilds rged into one huge entity, leaving the faction in the process.
"So, you are denying the allegations, right?" The freelancer asked.
Wil nodded, "yes."
"Next question"
Another reporter raised her hand. He's soone from a diocre news channel that was based in Ares city. "Recently, you disbanded the old guild and created another guild na Vulture. Does it have anything to do with Scarlet group acquiring the shares of your guilds?"
"Not exactly. I just figured that Scarlet doesn't suit the image of our guild" Wil waved his hand, "it's not a big deal."
WCN reporter once again took the charge, "just a few hours ago, Lee Jung-Woo a.k.a One declared you as his archrival. Do you wish to say anything?"
Wil knew that this question will definitely co in the interview for One is the most popular gar
"Well, if he's the sa person from the Battle Tournant, I wouldn't hesitate to say that he's better. I admit that I won against him because my skill damage is higher.
Since then, I have trained hard to improve my Archery skills. Just when I thought that I'm ready to face him, I heard that he beca a mage. Trying to compete with him now no longer interests "
Upon hearing Wil's statent, the reporter asked him, "So, are you implying that he can no longer win against you now that he's a mage?"
Wil was taken aback. He wanted to say yes, right away but he managed to swallow it. "We'll see when we battle"
"Do you have anyone that you wanted to battle?" The freelancer asked him. As Wil's words clearly implied that he doesn't look at One as his rival, then, there must be soone else he wished to battle.
"Hmm it's not soone but sothing that I really wished to battle." Wil answered him.
"Sothing?" They were confused. They wondered whether he was talking about so beast. Wil's next words proved their thoughts right.
"It's a whale Because of it, I lost my most unique legendary-grade treasure." Wil almost growled as he thought of that whale Back then, he swore that he'll hunt it down.
He wouldn't think that he's super powerful to kill it, right now But, when he reaches 400, Wil was sure that he will have enough attack power to kill the mythic-grade monster.
The reporters clearly saw his hatred as he speaks of the whale. The freelancer wrote it in his notebook. He got another worthy headline. Who would want to publish the complaints of a famous person like Ti Traveler? What his boss need is sothing entertaining.
Ti Traveler says One isn't his match. His sight is on the battle against Whale. These kinds of headlines will gather the attention of the public.
"What about gars Any worthy in your sight?" The freelancer then asked him. The public is also desperate to know his thoughts.
"He's not a rival but there's a person who I'm looking forward to battle in an unrestrained environnt." Wil can't help but reveal his na no matter how much he tried to conceal it within himself.
"Oh!" Everyone looked at him curiously.
"Crimson Sun," Wil spoke of Bran's in-ga na but in the eyes of dia, he was revealing his rival's na. "I'm sure you must have known his na if you followed the Battle Tournant."
"Crimson Sun?" Everyone's eyes widened and Wil saw their eyes lit up in excitent.
Everyone had the sa thought in their minds. "This is a huge scoop"
Wil didn't know that in Bran's earlier interview, a day before the War, he ntioned how he is looking forward to battle One and hoped Reverie enters the second phase.
But, who would have known, One is looking forward to battle Wil, while the latter wanted to battle Bran It's like they caught up themselves in a triangle rivalry.
At least, that was what the dia thinks and wishes to publish.
Looking at their facial expressions, Wil was taken aback at first, but then misunderstood they might just be happy to find out sothing from him.
"Okay, Next Question, please"
As three people raised their hands, Wil pointed to the girl from WCN.
She nodded with a smile and asked, "Is it true that you owned a part of Athledon kingdom? I heard that it is called Ormshire with Vulture city as its capital."
'It looks like this channel's information network is a lot wider than I thought,' Wil stared at her for a couple of seconds before confirming her with a plain nod.
"There's a rumor that you also own a private NPC army despite not being the King. According to our investigations, there are more than ten thousand of them."
This question stiffened Wil a bit. Earlier, he complained about how he lost his position and everything because of the changes. If he were to reveal the truth, it would be aningless.
Then, what should he say? He can't say that he employed them like guardians as there are a lot of level-300s and 2 generals in his army. He doesn't know how much this news channel knew of him.
Since he's pretty much a celebrity figure, it's possible that they might have investigated everything about his properties and the private army.
Should he bribe them? Wil imdiately threw away that idea.
Wil cursed himself in his head for not being enough prepared for the interview. He cursed Aster for picking this girl of all the people standing outside.
Taking a deep breath, he answered, "The matter involves a complicated quest. So, I refuse to spill out the details. However, I can say that I don't own them, yet."
Wil's words made them think either he is lying or it is indeed connected to so grand quest as he claid. Wil purposely said the word yet. That ans, soon, they will be his.
Does this imply that they will beco his private army soon after he completed the quest?
In reality, Wil indeed spoke the truth. He doesn't own them unless he becos the King. As for the complicated quest, it is also a kind of truth. There's a revenge quest in his Quest list. He had to kill the culprit that killed the Queen.
The complicated part is here who the culprit is. Is it Gadriel, who perford the act, or is it Rikilda, who wished for her death?
