Chapter 107: Psychological Blow

Tadadadadada! Shhh!

A large number of security guards poured out of the office.

Despite the surprise attack, I was ready.

The situation had become chaotic, but my focus remained.

The guards, though numerous, were no match for my skill and resolve.

Even just looking at it roughly, it seemed like there were easily over twenty people.

How can so many people push through with such force in such a narrow space?

Even for someone with great skills, it wouldn't be easy to overcome. But that only applies to normal humans.

"Oh, I really don't want to solve this by force."

『The Beast's Heart Activates』

Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

The red energy burned more intensely than usual. It felt like the cold anger that had started in my heart was projected as it was.

Actually, I was enduring a lot.

No, isn't that right? How hard I tried to normalize Deliat.

He's going to disparage all of that and distort it as if it had evil intentions?

'I feel a huge sense of betrayal. Really.'

How on earth did I elect this piece of trash as chief of police? A sense of self-loathing clouded my mind.

In times like this, I just need to think about one thing.

"Why am I making things so complicated? If something is wrong, I should fix it right away."

『Activation of Destructive Retribution』

Wiggle!

The only attack skill that is cast consecutively. Although it was monotonous, I was confident that my power was stronger than anyone else's.

Shuhwaaaaak! Kuhwaaaaang!

A large hole appeared in the police headquarters building as a brilliant beam of light poured out. It was truly amazing to see one side of the wall completely disappear.

Enough so that the police officers who were rushing toward me just stared blankly for a while.

'Even though we've finally built a new building, there's no way to make it more certain.'

From now on, whenever the police officers saw a collapsed building, they would think of me.

Who is the real governor of Deliat? Look at it now. They are so scared that no one even thinks of rushing in.

I stared at Lukon Omir and muttered softly,

"Will you die or will you ask for forgiveness now? Choose carefully. I will give you exactly 10 seconds."

The tone was polite, but the content was anything but.

Can't make good decisions? Then the ending was decided.

I will shatter him into pieces like that collapsed wall.

Fear spread across the faces of the security guards. Finally, the countdown was completed.

"Do you still have the heart to dare?"

I asked the question with a smile, and at that moment, everyone fell apart at once.

They declared surrender one after another, as if they simply could not bring themselves to face them.

"Oh, no."

"Look at this. I've already thrown away my weapon!"

"Where would a low-level official like us have the authority to make decisions? We just did what we were told."

There were many stories in detail.

When I heard it, it sounded plausible.

Because if he had spoken the truth, he might have gotten beaten up instead of being able to keep his position.

Isn't that exactly the atmosphere going on right now?

They have taken control of the Government-General and the National Police Headquarters at will.

'But I don't have the heart to just forgive him.'

Once they start seeing things like this, they'll find themselves making the same choices over and over again. They will realize who the true owner of the Government-General is and will not even think of resisting.

It's normal to have at least a minimal amount of loyalty.

But first, I had to make him my ally.

'The biggest problem is that I have no one on my side.'

Although there have been many great administrators in office, none have been able to normalize Deliat.

After all, the governor was just an outsider.

They only pretend to listen to me in front of me, but they're probably doing all sorts of strange things behind my back.

I've only been gone for two months, and it's become such a mess. The Imperial forces on the border may be feared, but they will take time to arrive.

In the meantime, they must have eaten Deliat inside out and run away to their heart's content.

'I need to create a solid power base in the leadership. For example, by giving more power to Archon Allegan.'

If Hojaein's leadership had been stronger, there wouldn't have been such a big problem. The Governor-General's Office wouldn't have been taken over like it is now.

But I felt like I had forgotten something really important.

"Ah! Butler."

If Deliat had become like this, Hojein Allegan would not have been safe either. Wasn't he a great official who kept his position until the end, even in a country that was in ruins?

I ended up blowing away all that talent.

I quickly took one step at a time toward Lukon Omir. Then I pointed to Cordell McNeil, who was following behind.

To be precise, I'm talking about Fidel, who is tied up tightly.

"Do you know that guy well?"

"Hmm."

Chief Omir let out a low growl. Fidel was originally supposed to be in control of the Government General. But, how could such a person have been captured like this?

Then, I had to see it as the same situation as the police headquarters. I smiled broadly and raised my right hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The red flames burned and created an overwhelming sense of oppression. Of course, I don't know how the other person will feel. I guess my guess was roughly correct.

Before I knew it, Lukon Omir's face had turned pale.

"If you don't want to end up like Fidel, you'd better answer honestly. Where is Hojein Allegan?"

"…"

The opponent couldn't open his mouth easily. It seemed like it was quite sensitive information.

That doesn't mean there's nothing we can't figure out. Because he didn't seem like a great person who wouldn't bow down to overwhelming power.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk! Snap!

Chief of Police Omir was held helplessly by me. Unlike a little while ago when he had made a surprise attack with curiosity, he looked quite lethargic.

Well, I guess it's understandable to be scared, having seen entire walls of buildings being torn down.

Soon I started to tighten my grip.

"You don't seem to understand if I speak like a gentleman, but treason can be punished summarily. If you want to live a normal life, you'd better speak up quickly."

"What is that… … ."

"I won't kill you. I'll make you live the rest of your life in pain. Isn't death too lenient?"

"Ugh!"

Lukon Omir's face suddenly distorted. The pain seemed to be beyond endurance. In the end, there was no choice but to surrender to him.

"Sand dunes northwest of the city. Floor gate."

"hmm?"

For a moment, I tilted my head. For some reason, it felt like a very familiar place.

* * *

A land filled with yellow. A fierce wind blew and shook my whole body. I let out a short sigh at the unfamiliar yet familiar sight.

"Ha! I didn't know I'd come here again."

"Yes, that's right."

Cordell also knew this place quite well.

Isn't this the midpoint where Skyler Sierra kept the women?

By running a criminal organization called Preta.

After digging about 10cm of dirt, a thick floor door appeared. There was no lock or anything like that.

The sand dunes act as natural camouflage, so you wouldn't know you were walking right over them.

Bam! Bam!

I opened the door wide, and a sharp sword light shot out. It seemed like they attacked me right away because I tried to enter without any signal.

"It's not as expected."

It's a hideout owned by a criminal group, so this is to be expected.

I snatched my opponent's sword away with a light gesture. The reason this feat was possible was simple.

This was because the difference in strength and speed was so overwhelming.

Bam!

Instead of a gavel, a fist was thrust into the enemy's face.

"What are you going to do if you carry something this dangerous around?"

He muttered as he pushed the attacker aside.

dump!

The man collapsed helplessly, and soon the entire basement was revealed.

The atmosphere was completely different from that time when they had lured women by saying they had jobs.

It has become much larger after undergoing expansion work, and it has been decorated quite luxuriously. It felt like a secret villa of a nobleman.

'Did they exchange them for expensive items to save up the gold coins because it would be obvious if they stole them?'

It was a fairly credible guess. Otherwise, there would be no way to keep prisoners in a place like this.

Rustle!

Suddenly, there was a noise from inside the hideout. As I passed the pile of stuff, a friendly face appeared.

It was Allegan, a shabby giant wearing a robe. Stay updated through m-v l|-NovelFire.net

"Your Majesty, you are here."

"Oh! Your Excellency the Governor! D, finally… … ."

The Allegan custodian staggered toward him and held out both hands.

With such a strong reaction, it seems like he must have had a hard time. I decided to especially listen to this old man's whining.

But it was at that very moment when I was about to give him a warm hug.

Swish! Boom!

My eyes became dizzy with an eerie sensation at my waist.

"Ehhhhhh! It's so easy, aren't you letting your guard down?"

A mean smile appeared on the pitiful-looking face of Hojein Allegan.

'The betrayal of a confidant I trusted so much. This is quite a psychological blow.'

Since it was a surprise attack while they were defenseless, everyone would have suffered severe injuries.

But there was one thing that the Allegan Consul overlooked. It turned out that I was much stronger than I thought.

A smile appeared on my lips and the gavel was slowly raised.

"uh?"

The moment Hojein let out that stupid exclamation, a divine punishment fell upon his head.

Boom!

I can hear the sound of a bones breaking.
