Chapter 199: A great shift in power (pt . 4)
“It’s been a while, Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm . ”
Kang Chul-In laughed, smiling at his former enemy .
To be completely honest, Albrecht Vilhelm was a hundred times more dangerous and resourceful than Alex Rothschild .
Rothschild was someone who lived off of his family’s ridiculous amount of money and the help of Lee Gong-Myung’s strategies .
Snake-like bastard…
But Albrecht Vilhelm was different .
Internal affairs, money, and strategy . He was good at all of it .
“I’ve received your present well . ”
Kang Chul-In said, smirking .
“It was truly a good one . ”
-I never gave you a present though… Oh, if you’re talking about the specialty of our territory that we sent this time…
“Seoul . ”
Kang Chul-In interrupted .
“That was you . ”
-No, it wasn’t .
“Are you really going to deny it, even when there’s so much evidence?”
-Of course not .
Albrecht Vilhelm’s expression didn’t change at all .
-I think you’re misunderstanding something, Overlord Kang Chul-In .
“Is that so?”
-Of course . Why would I touch the 1st ranked Overlord? What’s good will happen for me if that happens?
“Hmm…?”
-And if I were behind it, why would I send an envoy over to you? Minerva is the best, most trusted diplomat I have .
Even though Kang Chul-In nearly went speechless, he didn’t show his anger .
“Is that so…? But…”
- . . . ?
“How are you going to explain monsters that appeared in Seoul that are natives of your territory?”
- . . . !
“Or will you stop denying it if I write up a list of the monsters and send it to you?”
At these words, Albrecht Vilhelm’s face stiffened .
My god… I knew I would get caught, but this quick?
He tried to deny it .
-Overlord Kang Chul-In, it really wasn’t me .
“Then?”
-It seems like we’ve been played by Alex Rothschild’s words .
Albrecht Vilhelm gave out an excuse that Kang Chul-In had already expected would come out .
“Still denying it, huh?”
-That’s right . A few months ago, I got an offer from Alex Rothschild where I lent him some dungeons so that he could level up . I would give him places to fight in return for money . I…
“Stop with that bullshit, you crazy bastard . ”
- . . . !
“Who do you think you’re lying to?”
Kang Chul-In swore .
-O… On what basis are you…
“Are you joking around with me?”
- . . .
“You’re saying that you lent him dungeons so that he can level up while you were having a dogfight with him over the Esmerelda territory?”
- . . .
“And…”
Kang Chul-In continued, remembering what happened in the past .
“How are you going to explain supporting Aleister, then? Your second wife, Fei Mei, is Ao Xin’s little sister, right? The two of you, I bet you allied due to that marriage . ”
-How does that have to do with…
“Of course it has to do with it, you bastard . ”
Kang Chul-In growled .
“I heard that Ao Xin gave 10,000 soldiers over to Aleister’s territory under the name of Alex Rothschild . You think I didn’t know that?”
- . . . !
“Stop pretending even when you know everything . You were trying to block my way by using Alex Rothschild and Lee Gong-Myung . You also tried to use Overlord Ao Xin’s troops that were given to Aleister to prevent me from expanding east . ”
-Kuhuk…
“Even while fighting against Alex Rothschild, you were scared of me . And that was the same for Alex Rothschild . ”
At this point, it was difficult for Albrecht Vilhelm to continue and deny .
How… did he plant a spy or something?
Even though it made sense that Kang Chul-In could have heard of the fight over the Esmerelda territory through the news, that wasn’t the case for the other things .
Where the monsters were from .
His marriage with Fei Mei, Ao Xin’s little sister .
Helping Aleister .
As if I wouldn’t know .
Looking at Vilhelm who was visibly taken aback, Kang Chul-In laughed .
“Well, here’s my response to your present . ”
-Response…?
“I sent you a present . ”
At that moment, Albrecht Vilhelm’s Bifrost territory received a box .
-What is this? Don’t tell me it’s a bomb…
“As if . What, are you scared or something? I mean… I guess if you’re scared…”
-I’ll open it .
Angered by Kang Chul-In’s taunting, Vilhelm opened the box .
- . . . !
He was shocked .
-M… Minerva!
Because inside the box… was Minerva’s head .
----------
Dragonia Mountain range, otherwise known as the Himalayas of Pangaea .
At the highest peak, a black dragon was resting .
-Krrr…!
The dragon angrily breathed out flames, burning one side of the lair .
-What bastard…
The dragon had already been angry for a couple of months .
It was because some damned bastard had broken off the top of its lair, and ran away .
-Hu… since I’m awake anyway… Pinefly, on!
Feeling that it was almost fully awake and its body capabilities were at least at 90%, the black dragon turned the system of the cave on .
-Pinefly, ON!
A screen popped up in front of the dragon .
[Master, you’ve awoken . ]
-How long was I asleep for?
[The time master has been asleep for is… 1001 years, 9 months, 21 days, 13 hours, 48 minutes and 3 seconds . ]
-So, do you have the recorded screen for who or what hit the ceiling?
[There are 291,234 cases . ]
As expected of the system, it had recorded everything that gave the lair even the tiniest bit of damage .
-Play the files . The one that made the rock fall on us .
[That’s impossible . ]
-What?
[Due to an error, that file cannot be played . ]
-Why not?
[Due to a thousand years passing, the system has become weaker . In order to watch that specific video, there is a need to take a look at each file…]
-Then show me the latest…
[The order has been messed up for the recorded videos . ]
-So… I have to look through 291,234 videos in order to see who did that? All of them?
[Yes, but if your luck is good, then the first video might…]
-Shut up, you useless system .
But the black dragon didn’t give up .
-Whatever… I’ll start today .
It was as expected for the black dragon, which was famed to have the worst and most violent personality out of all dragons .
-Then, what should I do with the remaining time?
The black dragon wondered .
[Why not go out and have some fun?]
The Pinefly system said .
-Hmm… that doesn’t sound bad .
The dragon nodded .
It wasn’t a bad idea to travel around the Pangaea continent since it had woken up anyway . After all, it could go through the videos whenever it was free .
-Fine, I’ll do that then .
Saying that, the black dragon, or more accurately Desdemona’s, body started to turn brighter .
It was the sign that it was going to polymorph .
