Chapters Chapter 197: A great shift in power (pt. 2) (2/2)
“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 come!”
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 come 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 come 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 become 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 commanded. 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 come 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.”
“Come 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.
