Chapter 105 - Klopp The Information Broker (1/2)

Arthur turned around and whistled in shock. 'To think there was someone with a class rarer than mine.'

Andreas continued, ”His username is Solitary Sword Sovereign, he is the Lord of what used to be known as Miami. You know of him already, as he is already a member of the Empire. He is the one who got the Eridian Princess as a guide. As you know, she had Genesis' protection, and her test was a strange one, and no one passed, even among the Supremes who secretly took her test.”

Arthur put his hand on his chin in remembrance, ”Ah yes, that boy. The one who managed to pass a test that even the Supremes failed. Interesting. He not only got her as his guide but even has one of the rarest classes in existence. If I'm not mistaken, he is the one who Alexa believed to have used a formation. Truly amusing, how is his progress?”

Andreas hesitated for a moment before saying, ”That's the thing your Majesty, one of my trusted sources just revealed that Ezra The Mad One is on his way to visit Solitary. Not only that, my source even heard the word 'vendetta' being used by Ezra.

At that moment, Arthur's calm demeanor was broken. To him, there were only two men in his mind who were worthy of fearing. One of them was Genesis, who was generally peaceful and wouldn't act casually, so Arthur's fear of him dwindled over time. The other man he feared, however, was not the same. Ezra, a name that had been causing Arthur problems for as long as he could remember.

Arthur gritted his teeth, ”Why is that nut case after Solitary?”

”I don't know sire. One thing is for sure, Ezra only moves to kill. We all know this.”

Arthur squeezed his fists in frustration. This Solitary boy was a good seed, one who had a good chance at being a Supreme. He also had control over an area he planned to use as an entry point into North America and was the owner of the Eridian Princess, a vital source of information about their future foe. Not to mention they now know he has a rare class and could possibly know formations. All these made Solitary an important asset. Which is why Arthur was happy that Alexa went, as she was one of his most trusted ghosts.

'But now that nutcase is going there, why? Does he know something we don't?'

Arthur looked toward Andreas and asked, ”What do you think we should do?”

”Your Majesty, Ezra is dangerous, but Alexa has a very unique set of skills and a very high battle potential. I am positive that if we give her the order, she could save Solitary and bring him here safely. Although in doing so we would lose most of the potential Supreme Candidates that went with her.”

”But doing so gains the ire of Ezra.”

”Indeed, but he is only one man, I am positive that if we save Solitary, then Genesis will prevent him from attacking us because if he does, we are more than capable of retaliating. Even if it's against an Elder of the Samsara Sect.”

Arthur laughed and looked up at the sun, shining bright in the sky. ”Excellent! Indeed, we need not fear them! Andreas, here are my orders. She must observe what happens between Solitary and Ezra. If Solitary shows any more signs of importance to us, be it in terms of talent or his potential identity as Peerless, we must save him. The Princess and his class are far too important to us!”

”Your wish is my command!”

AS soon as Andreas said these words, he and the others nearby knelt. The previous light-hearted vibe was gone. Now there were as they should be, servants of the Emperor!

…

In an ordinary living room, two men were seated on opposite sides, looking at each other.

”So let me get this straight, you are The Solitary Sword Sovereign.”

”Yup.”

”Lord of Miami”

”Indeed.”

”Level 74.”
