Chapter 416

Chapter 416

Raon snickered while watching Wrath stick his tongue out at Rimmer.

It would be fun if those two ended up meeting each other.

Because Wrath and Rimmer competed to be the most childish people in the world, Raon could only smile as he thought about what would happen if they met each other.

I wonder if they would start fighting like children.

While he was imagining the conversation between Rimmer and Wrath, Wendy Arianne entered the stage.

She walked up to Rimmer and leaned forward at a 90-degree angle.

Light Wind squad leader, Im really thankful for what youve done.

When Rimmer asked for permission to run a gambling stall in the arena, she thought he was just keen on money, but she was completely mistaken.

She realized he planned that gamble to help House Arianne financially after he saved them during the war alongside Raon.

Hes from Zieghart, after all, and from the Light Wind squad at that.

There were many bad rumors about Rimmer, but Wendy realized they were groundless.

She was moved to tears and unconsciously clenched her fist because she had met another hero after Raon.

Huhuhu

Rimmer nodded while laughing gentlylike Roenn did. The tears welling up in his eyes fell towards the ground.

You are donating such a large sum to us

House Arianne will never forget this gratitude!

We will serve you as our benefactor in the future!

Whoaaa!

The newly appointed executives of Arianne also bowed to Rimmer and cheered.

Huhuhu.

Rimmer simply nodded while letting out bitter laughter.

Lets celebrate by tossing him into the air!

Whoaa!

Sir Rimmer, we are really thankful!

Wendy and the executives tossed Rimmer into the air and thanked him once again.

Huhuhu

Rimmer kept laughing like a gentleman even as he floated into the air and came back down.

He almost looked like he was broken.

Benefactor?

Sir Rimmer?

People tilted their heads, and Raon went up next to Rimmer.

He does that when hes happy. Hes always loved to donate money, after all.

Ah, I see!

Thats so admirable!

Thats really amazing because its difficult to decide on the donation.

On top of Ariannes executives, even the spectators praised Rimmer and raised their hands.

Actually, I did hear something like that in the past.

One of the executives licked his lip while looking at Rimmer.

A friend of mine told me in the past that he saw Sir Rimmer donating at an orphanage.

He was uttering some unbelievable claim with a warm smile on his face.

He donated? Are you sure he didnt rob them?

Raon narrowed his eyes while looking at Rimmer.

Squad leader, did you really donate by yourself? Isnt that about someone else with the same name?

It was a ridiculous story, but Raon asked Rimmer about it just in case.

I dont know. Screw it!

Rimmer briskly turned his head around and left the arena. He shook his hand, telling him to take care of the rest.

Bank!

Yes!

Dorian leaped onto the arena upon hearing Raons call.

Did you finish the calculation?

Of course!

Dorian skimmed through his account book as if he were the president of a bank before he nodded.

Deliver our squad leaders donation to Lady Wendy.

Understood.

He took gold coins from his belly pocket and gave them to Wendy Arianne and the executives.

Ah

I dont even know how I should thank you for this

Wendy and the executives fell speechless as they looked at the pouch, which held a huge amount of gold coins.

Contact the Sephia company and tell them to trade with House Arianne. They will immediately come running here since this is a great opportunity for them to monopolize the best grapes and blueberries.

Since House Arianne and the Sephia company were pretty much allies at that point, they were naturally going to become great partners, and it brought a smile to Raons face.

Im sure our president will be happy!

Dorian immediately nodded and took out the communication crystal that the president had given him.

Light Wind squad! Light Wind squad! Light Wind squad!

You are wrong! They are called the Mad Dog Squad nowadays!

Mad Dog squad! Mad Dog Squad! Mad Dog Squad!

The spectators were loudly praising the Light Wind squad that saved House Arianne and even donated a large sum of money.

We are the Light Wind, not Mad Dogs, you bitches!

Martha became furious as soon as she heard them being called the Mad Dogs.

Ahhhh!

Miss Rakshasa is here! She is the hellhound of Zieghart!

That fucker Raon is the hellhound, not me!

She ran into the spectators' seats and started to rampage, but it was just a trivial incident.

Everyone around the arena was enjoying the festival with smiles on their faces.

Ah, except for one person.

The only person who wasnt smiling was the red-haired elf who was shedding tears of blood while shrinking in a corner.

Ugh, my money. My flower path

He bit his lip tightly while looking at the gold pouch Dorian had taken out from his belly pocket.

I should keep the promise with the Sword Demon now Hmm?

Raon was about to walk up to the Sword Demon but stopped himself.

That man

Mustan, standing behind the Sword Demon, was glaring at him with bloodshot eyes.

That makes two people total who arent smiling.

Raon didnt manage to hear everything, but the Sword Demon sounded like he was encouraging Mustan after his match instead of scolding him. However, it looked completely ineffective.

Mustan wasnt spreading any pressure, but the malice in his eyes had further intensified.

I need to thoroughly crush him at some point.

Since Raon had reached the highest level of Master, he was confident he could defeat Mustan without much difficultyeven if he managed to show his full potential.

Raon figured he would need to crush him and show him the difference in their power to make him learn his place.

Since he was a big help, there was no issue with inviting him to Zieghart.

Thank you. Im really glad

The Sword Demon raised his gaze. Mysteriously, his gaze felt as hot as a griddle even though he definitely looked nonchalant on the outside.

Dont mention it. Please prepare in advance since we are leaving in five days.

Alright.

He nodded and told Raon to take care of his body before he closed his eyes.

Raon bowed before leaving the Sword Demons room.

Im curious what business he has in Zieghart.

He went to the first floor while thinking about the relationship between the Sword Demon and his father, and Mustan was climbing the stairs.

He could still see the two blades in his eyes.

What did you talk about with my master?

The frightening pressure around Mustan felt like he was about to draw his sword at any moment.

Why do you want to know?

Raon snorted at Mustan.

He wouldve called you into the room if it mattered to you.

You arrogant

Mustans brow crumpled like a piece of paper in a grip.

Do you really believe you won fair and square when you just attacked me while I was careless?

Its a fact.

We wouldve had a different outcome if I did my best from the beginning! You wont be a match against me if we fight once more!

He clenched his scabbard. He looked like he wanted to go for round two right away.

Ill overlook it once for Sir Rector.

Dont mention my masters name with your dirty mouth!

Raon was about to go down the stairs after he sighed, but Mustan grabbed his shoulder violently.

You seriously dont know your place, do you?

Raon turned around and walked up to Mustan.

Rumble!

The Ring of Fire naturally resonated. The sword art released from his mental world and his increased pressure from reaching the highest level of Master created a powerful aura wave.

Ugh

Mustan mustered his aura in order to fight back the huge pressure, but it simply got torn into pieces by the pressure that was as sharp as a blade.

H-how is this happening?

His chin clattered as he stepped back on the stairs.

Uhah!

Raons aura wave intensified even further, and Mustan missed his step and rolled down the stairs, falling to the ground.

Mustan.

An emotionless voice could be heard from Raon as he looked down on Mustan on the ground.

Carelessness cant be an excuse in the world of competition. Your head would be rolling by now if this were a real battle.

Ugh

Shut up and scram if you finally understood.

Raon left the trembling Mustan behind and left the Sword Demons lodgings.

He is devoured by envy.

Wrath clicked his tongue.

Envy has always been difficult to control. Its also called the mind of a snake because the emotion is as nasty as a snake.

Mind of a snake

There was someone like him in Devildom. She always got jealous of others and begrudged them no matter how they tried to help her and how well-off she was. However, she managed to obtain tremendous power with that envy.

Wrath murmured that he was the most unsightly person among the devils.

Are you talking about?

You guessed right. She managed to become a demon king with that unsightly power of envy.

Raon could understand who she was even though her name wasnt mentioned: the Monarch of Envy, Envy. She was another demon king that Wrath had previously mentioned. She was the one who supposedly had a rough handling of her subordinates.

Did she reach your level with the power of envy?

Bullshit! The King of Essence is way stronger than her!

Wrath snorted, saying that she could easily crush Envy both in terms of sheer strength and the quality of subordinates.

Well, a loser like him wont be able to become a demon king.

Raon shook his head while looking up at the Sword Demons room.

But Im still curious about why the Sword Demon accepted an idiot like him as a disciple.

* * *

Haa

The Sword Demon sighed heavily.

Its almost certain of it now.

A righteous personality that made him act despite his abilities, excellent swordsmanship despite having a weak aura, and a tall height on top.

He still needed to confirm with Sylvia, but he could tell that Raons father was the one he had in mind.

How is this happening?

While he was training in seclusion, hed heard that he left the alliance after paying a huge price, but he never expected such a development.

It had to be Zieghart of all places

The fact that he was in Zieghart out of all houses made it painful for him.

I guess he never cared about it to begin with.

The Sword Demon laughed bitterly and tried to suppress his nausea when the door opened and Mustan entered the room.

Master, what did you just talk about with Raon?

His face was somewhat twisted as he approached.

It wasnt a big deal.

The Sword Demon shook his head. He simply declined to answer because he couldnt tell him about an uncertain matter.

You should train for four days instead of having those pointless thoughts. We will go to Zieghart with the Light Wind squad on the fifth day, so prepare yourself.

What?

Mustans jaw dropped.

A-are we going to Zieghart?! Why would we do that?!

I have a business with them.

But they are our enemies! Even though they dont know about our identity, why would we

Just as you said, our affiliation hasnt been revealed yet. Thats why it wont be possible later.

The Sword Demon closed his eyes while he swept his hair up.

Master, Ive seen you bestow your teachings to talented warriors of the Six Kings a few times in the past, but this case is different.

Mustan ground his teeth furiously.

The bad blood runs deep between us and Zieghart, unlike the other Six Kings! I understand you took a liking to Raon Zieghart, but youve crossed the line this time!

He went on his knees in refusal.

Master, please return to your senses! Im your disciple! It will be a huge problem if an incident happens now! The alliance should be calling us soon!

Mustan categorically refused and slammed his head on the ground.

Even though it might happen

The Sword Demon opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed. The frightening glow of his pupils revealed an unyielding determination.

Theres a matter I need to confirm.
