Meanwhile, Julius, who heard that Alex got Five thousand gold coins knew he was lying but still decided to tease him.
”My good son-in-law. Recently-” Julius, who was rubbing his hands together, hadn’t finished talking when Alex sneered and said.
”Sorry, this money is for our kids, Artemia and me.”
Julius and his shadow were all slack-jawed. They did not know how to react to this.
p They went wide-eyed. They could not believe Alex to be this shameless.
Julius couldn’t say a word for a long time before finally chuckling; he decided to stop as he would gain nothing if he kept up; this son-in-law of his was too clever.
”How much do you want? Time is the essence; we must act fast.”
Alex nodded; Julius didn’t lie; they needed to move fast if they wanted to earn big money. He would not complicate things for his father-in-law; after all, they are all family.
”20%. I won’t ask for much.”
”Why don’t you rob the imperial treasury then.”
Julius felt a headache coming.
”10%.,’ he said, but Alex shook his head and elaborated.
”Don’t take for a fool. By giving you this memory stone, I have thought of all the possibilities. Do you believe the Holy Crux empire is doing the brainwashing only this empire? Absolutely not, other empires, kingdoms, and principalities are concerned and knowing you you will contact them, telling them what happened, while I’m not sure if they will also use the clown there I’m sure that you will ask for compensation because you gave them a justification to act.”
Julius’s face darkened, and he cursed. ”Damn it.”
Alex had guessed it right, it was exactly his plan, but now that Alex had said it, he could only ground his teeth and let him take a small bit of this gigantic pie.
”Okay, it will give you 15%, and this is my last offer.” the emperor said with a dark face; Alex smiled like a maiden in love.
”Deal, it’s good to have a deal with you, father-in-law,” Alex said, but Julius sent a punch toward him.
”Scram, you brat!”
However, he was long gone before the punch arrived.
”This boy has become stronger again. Heh! Lucius will bleed to death; he has provoked someone he shouldn’t have. Go, you know what to do. We must hurry up and earn a maximum of money from this opportunity, also send someone to cure the children.”
Julius ordered after chasing Alex away. His shadow nodded before vanishing.
Once alone, Julius took the same stone he used last time to contact Lucius the Pope; he smiled.
”Hehehehe! Lucius, this time, you met your match!” Julius said before injecting mana into the stone.
Outside of the palace, Alex could be seen floating in the sky. He watched the capital one last time before going to the Holy Crux empire.
Silveria came out and stood next to him; she couldn’t help but raise a question.
”Why not make the memory stone public? I think this way you will deal them more damage than right now.”
Alex said nothing first before answering.
”You are not wrong, but I will have lost most if I made the memory stone public. Besides, by making it public, the Holy Crux empire would be alerted faster, making things complicated; they will quickly think of countermeasure; you know better than me that the memory stone can be tempered with. If not, it would have been hard not to let people know that I have never killed anyone, as the memory stone showed. So, tell me what the Holy Crux empire’s first reaction would be?”
”They would deny everything that was said in the memory stone; they will say it was a complot, they were being framed,” Silveria responded.
”Bingo! It is exactly what they would say. While they denied any implications in the shadow, they would send someone to erase every trace they left. In conclusion, I would have dealt them no real damage, but with the current plan,n I can assure you that they will suffer greatly. Not only here but everywhere as well.”
”I see, but did you-“
”Well, I have thought about the outline of the plan, but I progress, new ideas came to me. Like after earning seven thousand gold, I thought, while not made them suffer economically as well on top of destroying their churches? So, this plan was born, and it is an ingenious plan. I’m proud of myself.” Alex said with a smile.
Silveria watched her master smile like a child that found a good toy to play with.
”I pity the Pope. Your gift must have arrived by now.”
”Hmmn!”
Alex nodded before adding. ”Let’s go; it’s time to infiltrate the empire. Zero and Alpha will act soon.”
He disappeared right after saying those words.
At the same time, the holy capital, inside the holy tower also known as the babe tower. Today was the last day before their goddess’s arrival.
Lucius, who was feeling frustrated recently after Alex alerted the other powerhouses, was happy, because, after today, he would become the strongest; his empire would be the strongest.
Just as the Pope was feeling happy, someone ran into the holy chamber without knocking; just as he was about to scold the man for his rude behavior, the latter tripped, coincidentally the memory stone he was holding fell from his hand and was activated.
The pope saw the whole video, he even saw how his church was erased and the words left behind.
Silence permeated the room. The priest that came running was afraid; he didn’t dare to breathe as he was afraid of triggering the pope.
Finally, there was a reaction.
BOOM!
The beautiful chair used by the pope exploded and got reduced to dust while the poor priest was sent flying and slammed against a pillar five meters away.
”Alexander!!!!!!”
Lucius was furious; after he saw the video, he knew it was Alex doing; who it would be if not him?
Just as he was getting angrier and angrier, he heard a; buzzing sound; someone had contacted him. Lucius knew that his troubles had just begun.
