.
Landon cross-checked several documents in his office in silence.
The loud ticking sounds from his office clock seemed to be hurrying him up hastily.
'Tick! Tick! Tick! Tick!'
He glanced at the wall clock and placed his pen to the side.
It was time to go.
Today, he had to see Sirius and Astar.
.
One should know that ever since his missions were assigned by the system, Landon had been warping to Yodan, as well as to Deiferus.
Henry's father would die months from now, so he had already sent Henry and his men off towards one of Henry's hideouts that was very close to Deiferus' Capital city.
There, they were to wait for his soldiers, who would assist him too.
That's right!
When the soldiers who escorted Micheal to Terique come back, he will give them a short holiday and send out another team to Deiferus.
They would work alongside Henry and if possible and deal with his entire family all at once.
Time was of the utmost importance right now, since he had the entire Pyno continent had to be safe and properly United.
That said, the treaties had to have been made public by then.
But the problem was that Henry, as well as Sirius, didn't have everything under control yet.
There were dangerous people in their empires that would take advantage of Baymard's kindness through the treaty, which might eventually end up harming innocent people instead.
Additionally, Henry's forces weren't much to begin with.
So if he wanted to keep Henry alive, as well as keep his own head, he needed to take care of some major powers around.
Of course, he would leave the minor ones for Henry to deal with.
But the hidden underground power needed to be dealt with fast.
As for Sirus and Astar who were in Yodan, their situation was very urgent.
Unlike Henry who had time on his hands before his attack, these 2 only have 2 weeks left before the enemy ambushes them.
They were currently travelling to one of their public estates far away from Yodan's Capital city.
So the enemy was ready for them in hiding.
But was this really the end of it?
Of course not.
The system had set him up!
.
Landon knew that this wasn't the end, because the enemy had only sent a tiny fraction of its power to deal with them.
But for Yodan's future, the enemy had to be completely uprooted from the ground.
That meant that they had to attack all of the enemy's secret bases before the end of the year.
In short, all this needed to be done before the first United Nations meeting took place.
The missions the system gave him might've looked simple.
However, there were more than 20 things that needed to be done before the end of the year.
Again, one might think that they were at a disadvantage for doing all these jobs.
But do you know how rich they would be?
All the treasure in these bases would be theirs.
One should know that these underground forces have existed for decades.
Which also meant that they were loaded.
That said, after dealing with them, the trucks could drive to and fro from the base to the ships just to transport these goods.
And all of this can be done in a matter of days.
Moreover, even if some members of these powerful forces get wind of their base's destruction and send back up... by the time they get there, several weeks and months might've already gone by.
All in all, Baymard's wealth... as well as his personal wealth would undoubtedly triple.
But all of this would be used for development and whatnot
Of course, he also decided to leave 15% of the wealth in these bases to Sirius and Henry in hopes that they used it to better the lives of their people.
15% might look small, but in actuality, it was a lot more.
These societies that have existed all this while, would undoubtedly have rooms filled with treasure.
And from what knew from the system, Deiferus and Yodan had the same underground society which had successfully invaded both empires for decades now.
In total, there were 23 bases combined.
So the wealth from them would be jaw-dropping.
Landon calmly locked his documents in his drawer and changed his outfit to that of a ninja's and
'Poof!'
Just like that, he disappeared into thin air.
.
--Ghrapol City, The Empire Of Yodan--
.
The night was dark and alive.
Like a beautiful picture, the glowing stars seemed like a promise of life within this dark blanket.
The clear starry sky revealed a vastness that made one drown in wonder.
The stars shone, the night creatures sang and the gentle breeze flew across the land.
A young man stared at the starry sky for a bit, before walking away from his window.
And in this brightly lit room, apart from himself, there was another young man whose entire attention was on a massive serving of food.
From large servings of Chicken legs to beans, applause and whatnot... the skinny young man ate his fill merrily.
It was truly unbelievable that such a skinny person could eat this much.
But make no mistake, this skinny person was Teriquen Crown Prince Astar, who was blessed with a strength that far exceeded normal warriors.
And the other man who left the window earlier, was none other than King Sirius, who was blessed with an incredible mind too.
"Brother, there's no way that brother Landon would face any danger when getting here.
So stop worrying.
This is Brother Landon we are talking about.
Even an entire army wouldn't be able to kill him
Brother Landon is a superhero!" Astar said merrily with his mouth full.
Sirius looked at him speechlessly before sighing.
Why did this brother of his like general common sense?
Superheroes weren't real, okay?
This brother of his was just something else.
In fact, if Sirius was back on earth and saw Luffy from one Piece, he would immediately shout out that Astar was exactly like that.
Their characters were too alike.
How could someone be this dense?
.
Sirius was just about to join Astar, but then, he paused and quickly turned towards the window.
Who?
'Bam!'
A man in black jumped into the room through the window.
At first, Sirius was vigilant.
But the moment Landon pulled down his black face mask, Sirius was relieved.
Even though he knew that it was Landon, it was still always better to be sure than sorry.
Both Astar and Sirius went over to hug their brother.
Of course, Astar chose to bump chests with Landon rather than hug him, since his hands were full.
This was their own special way of greeting each other.
One could only blame Astar for always holding food everywhere they met.
This guy must have been a black hole in his last life.
The guy's belly was just bottomless.
"Brother Landon, you're here!"
"Of course!
Since I told you all to wait for me in this city, then how can I not come?"
"Hmm... what about your mission here in Yodan?
Are your men alright?"
"Brothers, everything is fine," Landon said while rubbing his nose awkwardly.
He had told them that he was here with his men in yodan for a secret mission, which kind of explained why he was out here.
So all this time, they thought that he had been staying here.
Likewise, Henry in Deiferus thought the same too.
He couldn't possibly tell them that he magically teleported here, could he?
Sigh... He lived a life of a liar.
.
The pleasantries were over, and within a flash, Sirius quickly closed his windows and double-checked if their doors were locked as well
Now, it was time to get down to business.
