Chapter 510: Settling the Matter (1/2)

”…” Kai pinched the bridge of his nose as he didn't hear any sign of movement inside Kerza's body. In fact, his body had been flattened to the ground by Arba.

That powerful opponent had been reduced to that state without them being able to do anything, this certainly shocked everyone.

Although Kerza had been injured, his strength was still too powerful for them. Yet, the same person was rendered useless by Arba.

”That's enough, Arba.” Kai stopped her with a serious expression.

”Oh?” Arba stopped and rose from the ground, checking if Kerza was still alive or not.

Aston then turned to the others while introducing himself. ”It's an honor to meet you. My name is Aston. I hope none of you tells anyone about our appearance here.”

Kai pointed his finger at him. ”Yeah. As he said, I hope you won't mention anything, even if it's only a slip-up. A war is going to happen soon and if the enemy knows about them, we won't have enough time to prepare.”

”A war? With them? Can we win? He is only the fifth strongest person, right?” Arnaud frowned as this gave him a headache more painful than his current wounds.

”Yeah. That's why I hope you don't drink too, so as to avoid an unnecessary slip-up.”

”That can be done.” Arnaud agreed without hesitation. ”Besides… These wounds…”

”Right…” Kai nodded with a smile. ”This condition will surely hospitalize you for a month at the very least. And you can't drink for your full recovery for three to six months. I am planning to call Evan, but I guess he's not going to arrive that soon because he is on a mission.”

”I see. So, that's what your plan…” Aston understood Kai's plan after observing his wounds and all the clues he had left behind.

”Anyway, I think you two should go back.” Kai turned to Aston and Arba. ”For this, I am really grateful for your help.”

”No problem, Your Majesty.”

”Your Majesty…” Roselyn muttered with a confused face, looking at Kai. Since when Kai was royalty? she thought.

”Don't mind about it.” Kai waved his hand before shrugging.

”Before that, I need to warn you a bit, Your Majesty. You may be able to settle a bit of their doubt with these wounds, making them believe that you and these four people kill this monster, but it won't be for long.”

”I know.” Kai squinted his eyes. ”I should be able to buy at least six months with this plan. I am also constantly improving myself, so I need to be ready as soon as possible.”

”I understand. Since Your Majesty has a plan, I shall return with Arba.”

”Wait a minute. I want to add something.” Arba stopped Aston and continued, ”This guy is the fifth, right? There are four more above him together with their own king. I'm afraid the scale is bigger than you think… I think I can fight their number one, which is probably their princess, but I can't handle the others. Aston is not someone who is good in battle…”

”Well, I can do some things, but my overall strength has probably ranked either 9th or 10th. The two kids are stronger than me in this regard…” Aston agreed with Arba's assessment.

”Then, should we teach more people?”

”I don't think it will be enough.”
