346 Chapter 346

"Pfftt!"

"Third generation sword king."

"It's actually The Candidate of the Sword King....Hahaha!"Sean burst into laughter hearing Alex's words.

"Your joke is quite good."

"Do you know my rank in the Continental list?" Sean asked.

"I don't know."Alex smiled bitterly.

He doesn't know much about the people on the list and its ranking as he thinks it is useless and burdensome.

He only knows that people from Transcendent ranks to Mythic are ranked who are under 60 years.

Once you go past it, you are disqualified as it was listed to honour younger generations.

And you are also disqualified if you stepped into the realm of Saint as there is an upper league for this powerhouse where grading was done.

" I expected it."Sean shook his head and started to explain.

"With my skills, I am ranked 14. I challenged a person who was 13. Believe me, I stood no chance before him."

"And about the Candidate of the Sword King. Only the top 5 could compete for that and regretfully, the First Sword Kinley, Larkison ranked at 8 and is under Imperial father."

"And all others from 7, belong to other races except for the second Place which belongs to Harold Empire."

"No one had ever seen the first rank, there is no one alive after having a duel with him. We only have his tales and know nothing about them."

"Then, how can you challenge such a person?"Alex asked while rubbing his chin. If you can't even find him, then how can you know whether he wins by himself or with some help?

" I understand what you are thinking. If you want to challenge him, you need to send a message to the Infernal ranking office."

Alex nodded with an understanding look and asked"By the way, why are we having such a discussion? I knew you called me for something else."

"I wanted to make the atmosphere a bit lighter before I begin."

Sean's expression became a bit stern as he spoke.

"Alex, I don't know whether you knew about it or not but the man you fought was my man."

"Ohh!" Alex's lips curled a bit.

'Is he going to threaten me but his expression didn't look like it.'

"It wouldn't be wrong to say that I wanted to bring you down and I don't think I have done anything wrong. I just sent a person to defeat you at this stage, not after your life."

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

"Even if you were defeated, you wouldn't have suffered a single scratch."

"Whether you win or lose, we wouldn't be having such a conversation but the way Mark fought was wrong. As a warrior and swordsman, I strongly condemn it."

Alex was a bit surprised to see his sincere expression.

He felt as if Sean had just now pulled a reverse Uno card much to his shock.

"Let me sum up a bit."

"Previously, the battle for the crown was just a war. It was just a meaningless war for me before but now it carries great weight. Before I didn't have weak spots but now after marrying and having a daughter, I realised the weight I am carrying."

"If I lose, my family's lives might be in peril and I don't want my child to die because of my mistake."

"Hex is already a headache for me and now you."

"Me!! What did I do?" Alex asked innocently.

Sean chuckled seeing Alex's pretence and said"You are already a hot topic Alex. You are good at laying low, still, all the people at the higher echelon knew about your strength."

"And even if you are worthless, you are carrying strong swords with you."

"The Ex Saintess Athena, Youngest legendary rank Riya, the wealthiest merchant group Yvonne."

"Lady Christina and Lady Catherine might have been forgotten as they are away from the capital but no one can deny their prowess."

"You may not know but when Lady Catherine studied in Kinley her sharp politics threatened many noble houses."

"And holding their reigns, you can cause chaos if you want. You are alone enough but with them, you can create havoc."

"I didn't know that I was so popular." Alex gave a bitter smile.

"Everyone will soon move. They would either want you or destroy you."

"No one is gullible enough to believe a person holding so much power is going to sit still."

Alex looked straight into his eyes and said "And what do you believe?"

,m "I don't know you well enough to predict anything but whatever maybe, I don't want to become your enemy," Sean said, staring straight into his eyes.

Sean had been roaming around the borders when Alex wasn't even born.

He has witnessed many things on the battlefield and anyone who spends most of this time there would surely develop some sort of intuition.

With just a single glance at Alex, Sean could say that you can't judge him by common sense.

His fangs are sharper and longer than what one could see.

Transcendent rank at age of 21 was a big thing but people are forgetting that this absurd monster started his journey 2 or 3 years ago and reached this stage.

On his journey, Sean met all types of monsters and the man before he went beyond the boundary of monsters.

'This chapter is updated by N o v elBin.cᴏm',

It can be said the place where the boundary of the monster ends, Alex's boundary begins from there. His existence is absurd and if allowed to grow, only Heaven knows what will happen.

"I have been roaming in the battlefield when you weren't even born and anyone who spends long enough in that place develops a sharp intuition and mine are warning me not to engage with you. Just looking at you gives me oppression."

"I know you may hold a grudge for the things that happened but I don't want to be your enemy nor do I want to harm you."

"Your existence is a good thing for Kinley which hasn't produced much genius lately. It is becoming hollow and we are weakening and losing our position."

"Those who wanted to eliminate you are all narrow-minded idiots who can't look at the future."

"Your existence is a great boon both for us and might be for the world in the future."

"The reason why we are declining like this is that every time a genius appears everyone either tries to poach them where others hinder them so many genius wings are cut down even before they are born." Sean lamented.

"If possible I wanted to support Leia but she is being too idealistic and because of this people are hesitant to support her. If she slightly changes her behaviour, I may give my support to her."

"If you run for the crown, I am even prepared to support you. I can see the demeanour of an Emperor from you."

"Presently, I don't have any wish to run and not in the future. I wanted to become stronger fast."

Alex knew that a threat was looming and if started to run for politics instead of honing his skill, there might not be an Empire to rule.

He will think about the future when he becomes absolute.

Alex got up from his seat and said, "I know, we are strangers, but I still wanted to say something."

"If we were family now, I could proudly say that you are a big brother whom I could look at." Alex turned back and started to walk back.

Sean who started for a moment regained his composure and spoke.

"Alex, beware of Hex! That bastard is an utterly poisonous snake who could even sell his own family for profit."

"If you ever decide to support someone, no matter what, please don't support him. This is a request from me."

"I never had any desire for the throne but after knowing his nature, I am sure that if he ascended to the Throne then the first thing he would do was kill every sibling."

Alex's steps halted and an intense killing intent emerged from him.

He tilted his head and Sean was caught up seeing his eyes twinkling dangerously.

"He will die."

"My wife had a blood feud with him."

"He will pay for his sins."

"Even if climbed up and became the Emperor, nothing can save him. Anyone who comes between us will be crushed by me."

"The day he destroyed Christina, was the day his countdown to death had begun."
