Chapter 130 - What The Fuck Did He Do? (1/2)
If the second question was like an electric shock, then the third was like a bomb blasting in Aurora's face. Yes the empire was a threat, but if Mein was given enough time to do so, he could plant moles all over the world, barely anyone would be able to fight him!
Mein saw that the thing was heading south, so he had his robot Nazi's face Aurora and her people. This only caused Aurora's suspicion to grow further. Everyone's hearts were crazily beating as if a large predator was staring them each in the eye. Everyone started to enter fight or flight mode. But before things could escalate, Will interjected.
”Aurora, let me challenge Mein. Just hold off his people. I will deal with him in a Lord Battle.”
Rhino shouted, ”Why the hell would we let that-”
Aurora had telepathic abilities, so she sent a message to her compatriots. ”It's okay,” said Aurora, Rhino look to her side, confused. Aurora said, ”He is only level 74. He can easily deal with Mein when it comes to hand to hand combat. Mein's power comes from his robot Nazis. If Solitary can isolate him I'm sure he can win. And the moment he does, we will challenge him.”
Aurora's crew's eyes lit up and continued focusing on Mein's crew. Indeed, even if Will leveled up it would mean nothing the highest level he could achieve is probably level 80 or level lower. All of Aurora Phoenix's crew were far above that. Besides, they had another even stronger vanguard keeping his back up at bay. The group was in constant contact with Aurora through telepathy. SO why not just let Solitary do their work for them? Then they can sweep in and take all the rewards.
Some of Aurora's followers were even thinking about the water type treasure Will had and had some designs for it. With Mein already an enemy, Will could easily run away. They knew his abilities quite well, or so they thought. Why not let Will kill Mein, then the Robot Nazis become leaderless, and they take care of a singular Will. The plan seemed faultless at the time.
State Lords and above could not refuse the challenge of those above them. Although this fatty was stuck at level 99, he was very weak when it came to hand to hand combat. Nevertheless, he never lost any Forced Lord Challenge. This meant many things, but the simplest way to put it was, he had at least one trump card. The question was, what was it, and how many were there?
Mein, in his arrogance, walked forward in open arms, stained by the vision of a grandiose future that would never come to be…at least in this junction. (authors note)
Go on boy, challenge me. This was what his body language indicated. A side glance at Aurora and her crew indicated another thought. 'As soon as I am done with him.' Aurora and Rhino saw this gaze and found this laughable. With his low level, he dared hold Aurora hostage? She stayed because of her companions. Most were not as powerful as she was. The stronger ones had gone to be the vanguard. Only Rhino could be of assistance. Thus she had no choice but to let things go like this.
The reason was simple. But first, she had to confirm.
”Solitary, you said you killed Old Man Mu. Are you sure it was by your hand?”
