Chapter 315: Local products are the best 3 (1/2)
“Aaaaah!”
Neptune Spear screamed loudly.
Flutter… Hundreds of black strings fluttered in the wind.
“Oh dear.”
Kang Chul-In smirked.
“You should’ve taken better care of your hair. It’s so weak… Hmm… Should I get you some glue to stick your hair to your scalp?”
“Arghhhh…!”
“Well, it’s not that bad actually.”
“...”
“It looks like… that two-block style that's trendy these days.”
Of course, it was all a load of bullshit. Neptune Spear's hair on the sides of his head had fallen out from Kang Chul-In's ridiculous strength. Obviously, other than the fact that he didn't have any side hair, it looked nothing like the two-block style.
Crunch!
Neptune Spear grounded his teeth together.
“You dare... I'm the King of the South Sea...! Do you think you'll be...!”
“Be what?”
“...”
”You're not trying to threaten me, are you?”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Kwannnng!
The second ship, [Monocle], exploded. It was the work of Dorian Explorer.
”...!”
Neptune Spear was surprised, but that wasn't the end of it.
The Full Metal Dragon… No, the Full Metal Drake had pierced through the barrier of the ship, [Atlanta], and began to thrash around.
”Oh no...!
It was a tremendously shocking sight. In the blink of an eye, out of the eleven ships, Alligator, Nemesis, and Monocle were reduced to pieces of scrap metal. Now, even Atlantica was taken over…
The captain's ship, Poseidon, also had Kang Chul-In aboard.
-Heeheehee!
It was then.
-I'm gonna be the only one you beat up, is that it?
Hecate's maniacal voice spread out through the magical voice amplifier.
-Fine… let's do it… just you wait… I'll break you to pieces…!
It was a voice filled with frustrations from being held back. Hecate naturally enjoyed blowing things up, so being held back because of the anti-aircraft guns was horrible for her. However, the tables had turned, because Alligator, Nemesis, Monocle, and Atlantica were all unavailable for battle!
That meant…
“Gun one, ready!”
“Gun two, ready!”
“Gun three, ready!”
“Gun four, ready!”
The soldiers of Temeraire all shouted at the top of their lungs.
Fire. The 74 guns of the greatest firepower in Pangaea were about to teach Neptune Spear what the price was for messing with them.
-Wait!
Kang Chul-In’s voice shook the battlefield.
-Hecate!
-What?
-Stop.
-Hm? Why should I stop? This is our chance.
-Victory is already ours, so there’s no need to use Fire.
It was true. With Kang Chul-In aboard the captain’s ship, Poseidon, this battle was already the victory of the Valhalla soldiers.
Hecate asked.
-Are you telling me to stop the attack?
-Of course.
Kang Chul-In nodded.
-Why would you break all of these when they’re worth a hefty amount of money?
People had to look for opportunities at any chance they got. Neptune Spear’s fleet was worth an astronomical amount, and breaking all of them would be a waste of supplies and manpower.
-But I don’t want to.
Hecate continued to argue.
-I’m gonna break all of them!
-...!
-So what if all those ships are crushed?
She seemed to be furious because Neptune Spear’s fleet had only targeted her.
-I like breaking things too, but this time…
-No.
-It’s an order.
-I’ll break them.
-...!
-I can’t let this go! So this time, you let it go!
-Whew…
A long sigh escaped Kang Chul-In’s mouth.
Dammit… He bit his lower lip.
From his experience, whenever Hecate was stubborn like this…
It’s the real deal this time.
She didn’t know how to let others have their way. Hecate didn’t have the “female Kang Chul-In” title for nothing. Of course, she was a lot easier to talk to, but once she started being stubborn, she would never change her mind.
How should I convince her…
Kang Chul-In contemplated.
She probably won’t budge…
He thought of threatening her, but because Hecate was already angry, it would cause the situation to become worse. But he couldn’t just tell her to shoot to her heart’s content.
There were 10 ships in the fleet of iron. If it’s worth was exchanged for financial and tactical assets, it was greater than the Full Metal Dragon by 5 times. It was too priceless to be thrown away to appease Hecate.
-I’m gonna shoot, so move.
Hecate warned.
-Shoot.
Kang Chul-In shot his shot.
-Huh…?
-If you want to shoot, just shoot. There’s nothing I can do about it.
-...!?
-Instead…
Kang Chul-In shut his eyes tight when he spoke.
Drip…! Sweat and shivers appeared on his back.
This is the only way. There was nothing else he could do. “That” was the only way to make Hecate bend to him this time.
-What! Instead what?!
Hecate raised her voice.
-Are you threatening…
-You’ll never get what you want.
-What do I want?
-I think you spoke about this every time you opened your mouth.
A heavy silence descended on the battlefield after Kang Chul-In spoke. What was he talking about? He was bringing up the relationship between a man and a woman in the middle of the battlefield with the magical voice amplifier?
-S-So…? Are you saying you’ll give it to me?
-Of course not.
-Are you playing with me right now?
-No way.
Kang Chul-In decided to handle Hecate in the calmest attitude possible.
-I don’t sell my body like that, so making a deal like this doesn’t seem right. I am the king of a kingdom. I’m saying that I can’t give it over just because I want to.
-So what do you want to say?
-The possibility.
-...!
-I’m not saying I’ll give it to you, but if you don’t bend this time, the 1% chance will completely disappear.
It was a cowardly offer, but,
-Huk..!
Not for Hecate.
-If I shoot, you’ll never sleep with me?
-I won’t speak twice.
-And if I don’t shoot, we can sleep together?
-That’s up to you.
Kang Chul-In didn’t say what Hecate wanted until the very end,
