Chapter 525.2
“Hmmm...I see, I think I’m getting the general idea... Alveiro, you were probably just summoned by them to that location, right? And the other party was a member of the Royal Family, so you couldn’t refuse. What did they say to you...” (Yuki)
“...I am sorry. I am unable to tell you because there are some other people involved. However, that meeting was not related to terrorism at all.” (Alveiro) Tôp novel updates on n/(o)/v/elb/in(.)com
So, what he said at that time about being in that warehouse had nothing to do with terrorism was probably right.
The situation suggested that the other party called Alveiro to that warehouse intending to set him up from the beginning.
“This man (Alveiro) is just like this. He has got will and ability, but his only problem is that he is hard-headed. He hasn’t changed at all since the old days, so I’ll give up trying to get this guy to talk. However, I perhaps know some people who won’t mind spilling the beans, and I’ll tell you about them. I have an idea who the arms and legs are, as well.” (Shen)
“Thanks for the help. I’m sorry I brought you into this, even though you’re supposed to have already retired and should not have to deal with the country’s affairs anymore.” (Finar)
“Well, because I feel like about half of this thing is a revenge for my life, I honestly can’t deny it if you say that I am involved in this as the former emperor. I also couldn’t deny that those fools (remnants) might want to take advantage of the situation.” (Shen)
Then I followed, “If those remnants were the type of people you say they were, they would not just, ‘Suck it up,’ and let things go as is. Instead, they will try to harass us as much as they can before they are forced to comply. Especially now that there is no one holding them down.”
Next Finar said, “Hmmm, indeed, I can see that happening as well. And also, if those real masterminds of this incident wanted to get back at me for some old grudge, they should have done it a long time ago. What a hassle... Well, anyway I will try to deal with them to the fullest.”
“I couldn’t even tell a joke when I was the emperor. I am a joker by nature.” (Shen)
“That’s a joke, indeed.” (Alveiro)
We laughed out loud at the exchange, and then the Demon King changed his voice a little and continued his words in a serious tone.
“Okay, I think I see a clue to a solution. It’s tricky that the royal family is involved, but then let’s not directly deal with the main target and aim to cut off their limbs, shall we? If your information is correct, Shen, I think that would be best.” (Finar)
“Oh, I would do that as well. Let the limbs go flying, make them unable to move in any way, and then you can deal with the troublesome target that will remain after. Specifically, after the preparations for the upcoming event are over.” (Shen)
“You two are scary. If you two are together and play tricks together, it will be easy to seize control of the world.” (Yuki)
“It’s pointless if you can’t manage it properly. One country alone is more than enough for me.” (Shen)
“That’s exactly right. I’ve got my hands full dealing with the Demon Realm, and now I have to think about the Rogard Empire as well, so I have a lot of work to do now.” (Finar)
“From the way you are saying that, it’s not like you can’t do it, but it’s just troublesome. Well, it’s just as I expected of you guys... Also, I’ve come up with something to deal with the royal family. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while... Let me discuss it with you later.” (Yuki)
“”? Hmm, okay.””
