Minhyuk smiled happily. The Immortal Knight Order proved that there were still many people that believed in him. Then, at that moment, more notifications rang out.

[Prime Minister Haze has acquired 1.12 million platinum.]

[Prime Minister Haze has acquired 1.12 million platinum.]

!

Minhyuk was shocked. That amount of money was equivalent to around 200 billion won. He could not help but smile faintly.

So, youre working very hard. Haze.

He did not know how she had acquired the funds. However, Minhyuk knew more than anybody else that Haze always thought about the best for the Beyond the Heavens Empire. Not long after, Haze came knocking on his door.

The moment Haze came inside, she immediately briefed him on the current situation. There were many kings and emperors that had traveled across the continent and were waiting for him outside.

This was different from the previous meetings that he had held with the kings of Asgan. When he met with the kings of Asgan Continent, he had completely overwhelmed them. However, the situation now was vastly different from before.

The one that that had a significant influence in Asgan Continent was the Eivelis Empire. However, even though the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom back then was nothing but a small nation in control of a small land, his vassals wielded considerable power.

However, continental empires would usually have at least around three million troops at hand. In a situation like this, the newly established Beyond the Heavens Empire was at a disadvantage. In fact, it would be correct to say that they would have a hard time handing their business card to other empires and kingdoms with the current state that they were in.

Just when Minhyuk was about to step out to meet with them, Haze said, By the way, Your Majesty You have to meet them one by one.

?

Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion when he heard the strange request. Then, Haze told him the entirety of the story.

Haze. You for real

Haze, who earned a few million platinum with just a few words, was truly very outstanding.

***

The Ardo Empire was a large empire located in the American Server. Before the appearance of the Luvien Empire, the Ardo Empire and its emperor, Consteinus, were considered to be the most powerful empire and the strongest individual in the American Server.

However, Ardo Empire was the first to be attacked by the Luvien Empire upon their arrival to the server. They were immediately brought to their knees and forced to sign an agreement with them.

Because of that, the current Ardo Empire had grown much smaller than before, while the number of their troops had decreased significantly. But even though that was the case, the Ardo Empire was still a large empire with a military force of around twelve million troops.

That 200,000 platinum is just a small amount of money. However, I cant shake off the feeling that I have been swindled.

Emperor Consteinus laughter was stuck in his throat. He felt like the woman named Haze was very cute. Regardless, Consteinus had willingly paid the 200,000 platinum on the condition that he would be the first to meet with Minhyuk.

I will absorb the Beyond the Heavens Empire.

To be exact, he would not absorb the Beyond the Heavens Empire but rather, those that belonged to the Beyond the Heavens Empire, like Spear God Ben, Brod, Sword of the Gods Luo, Fisherman King Gorfido and many more. That was right. Consteinus did not covet the entire Beyond the Heavens Empire. What he wanted were the talented people that belonged to this empire.

Ah. And that woman named Haze too.

He believed that it would be a waste of their talents if they were to stay in the Beyond the Heavens Empire. Consteinus also believed that they were looking for a savior. A lifeline that would drag them out of the precarious situation that the Beyond the Heavens Empire was currently in.

They are definitely waiting for another empire to recruit them.

If Emperor Consteinus were to be honest, he would definitely say that he could not understand why such talented individuals were all in the Beyond the Heavens Empire. Basically, Emperor Consteinus had no idea about what happened between these people and Minhyuk and the kind of bond they had built.

Then, at that moment, Emperor Minhyuk arrived.

Looking at this young man, he truly is a good sprout.

Emperor Consteinus was in awe. The man, with his dark hair and eyes, had a sharp appearance akin to that of a westerner. For some reason, he felt like he would fall in the depths of those big and pure eyes. Even his sharp and straight nose bridge was enough to draw out a sigh of admiration from him. However, that was it. Consteinus was the emperor of the greatest empire in his own continent. He encountered people like Minhyuk all of the time.

I guess well have to serve our precious tea, Minhyuk said. Haze, bring out Gods Petals Tea that we obtained in Edea.

But But Your Majesty, its too precious. We only have three kilograms of such tea

Haze. We have a very precious guest here.

Ah I understand.

The Gods Petals Tea was bullshit. It was nothing but chamomile tea. However, Haze served it carefully as if she was serving some very precious tea.

Gods Petals Tea was grown by receiving Gods tears. This is very precious tea. I will only serve this to you, Your Majesty.

A faint smile appeared on Consteinus face. He thought that Minhyuk could recognize the strong and he was willingly bending to cater to what they wanted.

'Look! Isnt he serving me, the emperor of another empire, a precious treat?!'

Consteinus took a sip of the tea with admiration in his eyes. He said, It definitely has that great flavor! What a beautiful and aromatic flavor this Gods Petals Tea has. It lives up to its name. I have never tasted such a delicious tea in my life.

Yep. Thats just chamomile~

Minhyuk just smiled at him.

After that, Emperor Consteinus went straight to the point.

How about signing a tacit alliance between my Ardo Empire and your Beyond the Heavens Empire. Im sure my Ardo Empire will be able to help your Beyond the Heavens Empire a lot.

Then, Emperor Consteinus began to delve deeper into the details of what he wanted from them. Basically, what he wanted was for the Beyond the Heavens Empire to go under his control. And it would not only be limited to that.

Confident with his preparations, Consteinus waited like that. However, no matter how long he waited, none of the diplomats that he sent out came back to him. At a certain point, Consteinus could not help the doubt that flashed in his head.

Why are they not coming yet?

Perhaps Spear God Ben wishes that His Majesty would be the one to personally recruit him?

Ah

Consteinus nodded. He deserved that. After all, he was someone with the title Spear God to his name. His arrogance and pride must have reached the skies. Consteinus realized that even if he could recruit such a man and bring him to his side, there was no way that he would be able to overwhelm and surpass him. Spear God Ben was a Continental God, even an emperor like him had to treat a being like him with courtesy.

Consteinus finally realized that he had been far too complacent. He had to go and bring the man to his side personally. So, he hurriedly ran to where the man was.

When he arrived at where Spear God Ben was, he was met with quite an astonishing sight.

Spear God. I am a diplomat from the Corell Empire. If you come to our side, we will give you three legendary ranks weapons and thirty million platinum

?

While Consteinus was sipping his tea and relaxing, a lot of diplomats from various empires and kingdoms had already arrived. However, an absurd situation unfolded in front of their very eyes.

Baaaaaaaaaaang

Spear God Ben slapped the diplomat in the face.

Keheoooooooook!

The funny thing was, the diplomat was sent flying away with just one slap. As for the place where the diplomat landed, there were countless other diplomats there. They were all piled up like a mountain. However, it was not just them. There were also other skilled negotiators as well as countless troops. All of them had fainted at that same spot.

As for Spear God Ben, his expression was extremely distorted. It was completely different to how he looked whenever he gave his signature 'Hoho' to the people that he encountered.

As he looked at the mountain of stunned and fainted individuals behind him, Spear God Ben thought, How dare these people come to His Majestys empire just so to tell me to become their dog?!

Spear God Ben loved Minhyuk more than anybody else. This act was both an insult and a disrespect to his beloved emperor!

Well, even though Spear God Ben slapped these people on their faces, none of them could attack or bring harm to him. After all, their kings and emperors had already signed a contract with Minhyuk. This was just a price that they had to pay for their blatant disrespect.

On the other hand, Consteinus interpreted Spear Gods Ben behavior differently, Did you think that you will be able to recruit a person named the Spear God with such lousy conditions?!

The highest condition that he had heard so far was fifty million platinum along, with five legendary rank weapons, and one legendary skill book. It was no wonder Spear God Ben was angry.

Its only natural. You are denying his worth. I will give him the proper price and take him into my arms!

Consteinus smiled as he approached Ben with his hands behind his back.

Why are they only offering you that much, am I right? I mean, you are the Spear God. Let me tell you this. I will give you 400 million platinum.

Ben stared at Consteinus, who was walking toward him while talking. Seeing this, Consteinus could not help but laugh deeply.

Thats right. You must be satisfied, right?

Consteinus continued to walk toward Ben while saying, The Ardo Empire will also grant you the title of Duke and bestow upon you a God-rank spear. We will give you the weapon that our empire acquired not too long ago.

Before he knew it, he was already standing right in front of Spear God Ben. So, he reached out his hand for a handshake to signal the closing of their deal.

Slap

Alas, Consteinus cheek got hit. Unlike the other emperors and kings, Consteinus was trained in legendary martial arts. It was thanks to that that he did not fly away. However, the tremendous pain that bloomed on one side of his face forced him to raise one hand to cover it. He could not help but stammer in shock.

The only reason why Spear God Ben had listened to his words quietly was because Consteinus was still walking toward him. Basically, Ben was waiting for him to get close enough to get slapped and hit.

How, how dare you! I am the emperor of an empire!

Consteinus eyes grew wide. In fact, even Spear God Ben was surprised.

You're an emperor?

Thats right! I am Ardo Empires Emperor Consti!

But Spear God Ben did not let him finish. This time, he slapped him on the other cheek.

Slaaaaaap!

Keheok!

Consteinus, who was holding both of his cheeks with his hands, looked at Ben. He could see that there was a tremendous amount of killing intent pouring out of Spear God Bens body. That killing intent completely engulfed Consteinus, making him feel breathless. He had never felt something like this before. In fact, he had never faced so much pressure like this even when he had faced the Sword of the Gods.

Spear God Ben opened his mouth and said, I I am more afraid of seeing a single injury on His Majestys body than losing those things that you have offered me.

For me, it is better to see His Majesty eat until hes satisfied and full than obtain the power that you speak of.

Even if the Beyond the Heavens Empire gets destroyed and I am left wandering the streets like a beggar with His Majesty, I will still stay by his side. As long as he laughs, I will be able to laugh.

And even if Im given only one option to serve another person other than His Majesty then I, in the name of the Continental God Spear God, declare

That I would rather choose death.

Tremble

Consteinus trembled and shook from the words of the wonderful and amazing subject that stood in front of him.
