When Silva finally pulled back his bloodlust, the man could finally breathe. He took in deep breaths as he struggled to steady himself.
“You disrespected my daughter in her own kingdom and disrespected me, the king. You have already fallen to my bad side.
Everything you say now will be held to a very strict standard, and your life might depend on it,” Silva said.
“Cough, cough. Please forgive me. I had no idea that you were the king. The information I was given was limited,” the man said.
“Why are you starting off with lies? What’s your name?” Silva asked.
“John, sir. John, and I can assure you that I’m not lying, sir,” John said.
“John, let’s not start with lies. I know you have all been looking into my kingdom, and I know that you know who I am.
Lily, please introduce John to us. I’m sure that you have gathered information about him,” Silva said.
“His name is John, like we have already established. His surname is Racan. The Racan family are a high noble family in the kingdom of Olen.
His father is currently a marquess, and John is going to take over after he dies. That is the information I gathered on him, Silva,” Lily said.
John was shocked to hear this. When was all this information gathered? He had only gotten here half an hour ago.
“You see, John, you are a high-ranked noble, and yet you lied to me that you don’t know who I was? John, there is no way that is true.
Because my image has formed everywhere, people know what I look like now. They know my name, and they know who I am.
So you telling me that you didn’t know? That was a lie. You lied to me right off the bat, so how am I supposed to believe whatever you have to say?
You knew who I was, but you wanted to see if you could best me, see if you could intimidate me. You wanted to get a lot out of whatever bargain we would have.
You tried to lie right off the bat, so I wonder, how do I decide to listen to whatever you want to say now?
You lost your bargaining chip before the game even started. John, John, John, you are not really smart, are you?
No wonder your father refused to hand over the family to you even in his old age. You are dumb and fucking fat as hell.
What do you bring to the table except your exceptionally big stomach? It’s a wonder why they would choose you to be the envoy.
Unless, unless you are a distraction. Yes, that is it, you are a distraction for something else. What is it? Tell me now, John,” Silva said, getting up and grabbing him by the neck, taking out his sword.
He pressed the tip of the blade against John’s chest. John trembled, staring at the blade filled with fright.
“John, tell me now, what are you a distraction for?” Silva asked again, but John was too scared to look.
“Lily, Drake, something or someone might have slipped into the kingdom. Find them, search the whole kingdom for anything unusual.
Take as many people as you need and find whatever it is that this idiot has allowed into the kingdom,” Silva said.
Drake and Lily nodded at the same time and left the room to do what Silva said. Silva then looked at Elsa.
“Elsa, fly over the city and check for anything unusual as well. Report anything to me.”
She nodded and left the room as well, leaving Silva with the man.
“Now you tell me. Tell me whatever it is that you have planned, or I’ll drive this blade through your heart so slowly that you’ll scream in pain as you die in a puddle of blood,” Silva said to him.
The fear in the man’s eyes was evident, but he refused to talk. He only opened his mouth and said,
“If you kill me, you’ll not be able to get the information you want,” John said.
“Why do people use such a stupid thing as an excuse or a way to survive? Do you understand that if I kill you right now, it doesn’t matter what happens to me after?
You are dead already, gone, protecting rubbish. Right now, you are pushing really close to getting yourself killed.
So tell me what I want to know, or else I’ll crush your skull,” Silva said, using intimidation to help him, and finally, John spoke.
“We had a way to sneak in undetected, as long as you were not in proximity, and so I was to be the distraction that kept you in one place.
When you were in one place with me, they would sneak in and start destroying one of your industries to weaken you for the main attack,” John said.
As he was speaking, Drake called Silva through telepathy.
“Master, there was an explosion at one of the new major labs outside the capital. I haven’t reached there yet, but I can sense that there are many casualties.”
Silva balled up his fists in anger and then suddenly punched John so hard he shattered his face all the way to the brain, killing him.
Silva dropped the body on the floor and stepped out of the room. He didn’t know if it was coincidence or a planned happening, but the enemy had to make a move during the time when security was less.
He was focused on the training, and that made him neglect certain things.
He didn’t know how they were able to slip in without Lily knowing or something, but he was certain about one thing, and that was the fact that he was going to bash the faces of everyone that did that.
He left the castle and immediately transformed completely, shooting into the air. The wind blasted on his face as he shot through the sky, breaking several sound barriers as he went.
In less than two minutes, he got to the location, and he could see smoke in the distance.
