'The game just started!'
With one gesture, several people dressed in black appeared from various directions and pointed their rifles at Louzen.
Successive attacks were inevitable. But it's not Louzen if you can't avoid it.
In one move, he jumped onto the old couch, counterattacked with his rifle in hand, then ran to the right to hide behind the tall cupboard on the right side of the door.
The spacious state of the room and minimal furniture made it difficult for Louzen to hide.
"How could he do that?" The middle-aged man who saw the incident was taken aback. Only this time, there was someone who could dodge every bullet fired by his master's men.
Three people fell, the remaining two and an older man who had spoken to him earlier.
The rest of the two men are now hiding behind the walls and doors of the inner room, which may lead to their leader's core.
As soon as he saw their heads pop up, Louzen fired three shots and hit the two straight away. And now only a middle-aged man is hiding somewhere. It's a shame that Louzen didn't pay much attention to where the older man, who could be said to be an essential person in this mansion, had gone.
Louzen proceeded carefully to enter the mansion and explore it. The state of the estate is dark. Only a little light from the moon slowly enters through the gaps in the windows and holes. And Louzen realized this was the work of the mansion owner, who wanted to play with Louzen.
With the remaining unused rifle and pistol bullets, Louzen dodged and attacked indiscriminately. Unless he were just an ordinary person with no powers, w would execute anyone in sight on the spot. Either by the strength of his muscles or the gun in his hand.
We arrived at Louzen in a large room after exploring the mansion and killing about three dozen people who randomly attacked him.
Inside the room, although it was quiet and no one suddenly attacked, Louzen felt that someone was watching him from a specific place. His instincts were never wrong.
"Get out! I know you've been waiting for me to get here." Louzen spoke out loud. The corner of his eyes glanced to the left side, where an open door led to another room.
The entire mansion, which had been dark, suddenly brightened in seconds.
A man around 40 in a black suit came from the door that Louzen meant. He slowly walked over to Louzen with a smirk.
"Good. This is the first time I've seen a young man who can defeat dozens of my men by himself. I'm getting more and more attracted to you. Introducing Frederick Miller, the owner of this mansion and mountains." The man stood in front of Louzen and stretched out his hand.
Without hesitation, Louzen accepted the extended hand and shook each other's hands. "Louzen." He replied flatly. There was no fear on Louzen's face even though the man put pressure on him.
During the 5 seconds of shaking hands, Louzen felt the pressure and electric shock from Frederick, who seemed to be measuring the limits of his strength. He, who knows nothing about this world, chooses to remain silent and does not fight back.
'There's something strange about the person in front of me. Why does my hand get electrocuted when it comes into contact with it?'
"If I may ask, what business did you sneak into my mansion? If I think back, it's clear we don't know each other, and I don't feel indebted to someone like you." Frederick seemed to make a thoughtful gesture. He propped his chin and looked at Louzen disinterestedly.
"I'm looking for the woman your men forcibly brought here."
"Oh… do you know him?"
"Not," Louzen replied firmly. There is no shaking of fear in front of people who claim to be high-ranking officials of a Kingdom.
"So you came as a hero to a woman you didn't know?" Frederick laughed out loud. He patted Louzen's shoulder and whispered. "Hey, young man, aren't you afraid that your life will end here? Instead of doing something pointless, you'd better become one of my subordinates. I'm interested in your courage."
Louzen pulled the back of Frederick's hand above his shoulder and pushed back a few steps.
"There's no need to persuade me. Just give that woman back, and I'll be gone."
Louzen was lazy to argue with the man in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn't know where she was or how strong the opponent was. But his feelings told him that Frederick was not an easy opponent. Louzen even felt a strange power hidden within Frederick's body that he didn't know what it was.
"It's not that easy. The woman you're looking for is an important asset to have for the continuation of the project in the future. But if you're willing to accept the offer, I might consider it."
"It seems pointless to ask nicely of you, Mr. Frederick. Then I won't hesitate any longer."
There's nothing more to talk about. Louzen immediately attacked by accelerating his movement.
Within seconds, he aimed the gun at Frederick. Louzen fired several bullets with his running legs looking for a hiding place to avoid the counterattack.
Frederick nimbly dodged, took the gun in his pocket, and counterattacked by firing a bullet at Louzen.
"Damn it! It turns out the old man had a gun in his pocket." Louzen cursed.
Luckily Louzen had time to dodge and headed to the corner of the door where there was a high cupboard so he could hide.
'What's with today? Why so damn! It's only been a day since reborn and found a strong enemy. I'm crazy!'
"You don't need to hide, young man. Since you set foot in the mansion, you've lost!" Frederick said. He was using provoking words to lead Louzen out of his hiding place.
There were only a few bullets left in the long-barreled gun, and only three were left. But Louzen couldn't even finish off the older man in front of him.
'Is my skill indirectly lost after being reborn? When fighting an older man like him, I still need a long time to be cornered like this. What's wrong with me?'
Louzen thought that if there were a sharp weapon like a knife that could be used, it would be more practical. Since he was used to using that weapon instead of a gun, that was just wishful thinking. In this world, there was no such thing as a coincidence like the main character, who always got a miracle every time of urgency. Now what was more important was how to fight the person in front of him. By relying on his declining skills and the three bullets he had left, Louzen should be able to attack and subvert the older man. Frederick's position was still the same, and he stood in the open as if he was luring Louzen out. It took a while for Louzen to survey the battlefield. If he wanted to kill Frederick in one strike, he had to find the right moment and ensure no enemies were hiding in places he didn't know about. Five minutes in, Louzen had already confirmed that several of Frederick's subordinates were ready to attack him from the rear, which was advantageous from his current po
Louzen felt dizziness in his head. He massaged his forehead while digesting what had happened. Looking back at all the things that happened to him, there was a possibility that the person who predicted this incident was also deliberately holding that woman. Isn't that right? Tired of thinking about uncertain things, Louzen sat down on the sofa. He threw Frederick's corpse beside him in a random direction. After sitting for a while, he was able to think again. His two subordinate men were still faithfully kneeling, which did not make him comfortable. "Stand up! I don't like seeing people kneeling in front of me." Louzen ordered. The two subordinates stood up and did nothing. Just statue-like silence and lowered heads as if waiting for the following order. "Okay, I'll follow the game of the person behind the scenes. Since I am your master, can you release the woman forcibly brought here?" Asked Louzen while stretching his body. His hands were stretched out on the sofa, with his bac
"What do you mean, sir? We don't know you since this is our first meeting. But if that's what you say, we'll believe it." Dereck replied without any hesitation."It's true what Dereck said. I will also believe it if that's what you say.""Thank you for listening to my nonsense. In the future, I will trouble you to learn more about this kingdom. Oh yeah, I don't know the name of this kingdom yet. And what continent are we on?""Answer, sir. We are on the Euther Continent, Megan's Kingdom. The Euther Continent itself is divided into three major countries and two kingdoms. The neighbors of Megan Kingdom are Broughton Country in the south, Eastbourne Country in the east, and Landbridge in the southwest. The Megan Kingdom is on the west, and the Northford Kingdom is on the continent's north.""Regarding the slaves in the dungeon, where did you get them from?""The slaves were obtained from people who had problems with Lord Frederick. Some were in debt, enemies who tried to attack, and some
The people in the restaurant were left speechless by the bold behavior of the daughter of one conglomerate in Megan's kingdom. The men in the place were annoyed and jealous that even those with high status were inferior to beggars. The people's gazes were cynical, but they could do nothing as Louzen was escorted by two executive guards. Since the people's reactions were getting too much, Louzen gave Emile a cold stare. "Emile, I hope you know your limits. If you do this again in front of others, I will not remain silent. Your behavior just now has invited the attention of others, and I don't like it." "Fine and sorry. I was too excited to see you here to lose control." Louzen climbed the stairs, and Emile spoke while following beside him. The two waitresses led Louzen through a hallway with a few closed doors on the left side that probably had a room for VIP customers behind them. At the end of the hallway, Louzen was presented with a door that was a different size, quite large
The profound meaning of the words spoken made Emile even more curious about Louzen's past. She supported her face with his hands while staring without blinking, making Louzen uncomfortable. "Stop looking at me. I'm not an object you can stare at all the time." Louzen warned. "What's wrong with looking at someone if that person seems special? Your words make me even more curious and want to know more about you." "Give up your curiosity about me, Miss Emile. It's enough that you find out about me, or you won't be able to bear it." Louzen replied indifferently. He did not open his eyes and was still enjoying his resting time. "What can't I bear from my curiosity about you? What's so special about you that I must stay away from you? You-" Cough... cough... Emile's words were cut off when she heard Dereck's, which suddenly coughed. Whether intentional or not, Emile immediately looked at Dereck with a sharp gaze. Getting a deathly glare from Emile Rochester, Dereck swallowed his sali
Being threatened by an unstable girl like Emily Rochester made Louzen sigh to let his emotions subside because he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and eventually attract the attention of the Rochester family, who was said to have a strong influence in the Megan Kingdom. After his emotions stabilized, Louzen smiled at Emily, "Apparently, you are stubborn too, as a girl from a conglomerate family. Tell me, how far will you go, Miss Emily?" Emily became even more enthusiastic when challenged by the man who caught her attention. She said as she looked back at Louzen. "As far as possible. If necessary, to the very bottom of who you are, Mr. Dominic Louzen." Louzen was stunned. He had not expected Emily to find out about him so quickly. "Unbelievable. How fast did your informant find out about me? Well... no wonder you can do everything so easily. The people of the Rochester family must have extensive connections since you guys are one of the best families in Megan's Kingdom." "
"Where are we going, sir?" Dereck asked. They were now in the car that had just left the restaurant courtyard. "Back if I'm not obligated to meet your leader right now." "Yes, sir. We don't need to rush to leave. The leader does not mind if you arrive late." Dereck replied. "Your leader is quite understanding too." Louzen felt tight after eating so much. He leaned back against the car seat as he closed his eyes again. He was really like a pig. "Sorry, sir. Are we going back to the mansion or-" "Back to the mansion. And in the meantime, order your men to keep an eye on my wife's house. Her name is Lidya." "Wife?" Dereck and Jackson asked simultaneously. Both of them were surprised by Louzen's statement. "Don't you know I'm married?" Louzen furrowed his brow. "Sorry, sir, you didn't say. How did we know?" "Ah, I forgot, sorry. I already have a wife named Lidya. She lives in an area that doesn't seem far from here. You can find her yourself later." "What it means?" Jackson was s
Louzen went down the stairs and go to the kitchen to make coffee. At the kitchen door, he met a woman who bowed to him. "Good morning Mr. Louzen. I'm Erina, one of the servants at the mansion. Sorry to ask, does Mr. Louzen need anything?" "I want to make some coffee. You don't need to mind me; continue your work." "But, sir, my job here is to serve your needs. Let me make the coffee. You can wait in the living room." "Okay. I don't have a sweet tooth. So make sure to cut down on the sugar." "Okay. Just as you ordered, sir." Louzen left the kitchen doorway and chose to wait in the living room. He did not want to delay the time to see the leader because he did not know the exact state of the woman he had tried to help yesterday. But leaving in a hurry was not a good choice either, considering that he could stay in this mansion thanks to the orders from the leader. The living room was quiet. There were only a few maids cleaning the furniture and furnishings that filled the room. Lo
All the preparations for breakfast are provided in their room. A romantic breakfast that a married couple would look forward to. Louzen praised the maid's work for preparing the breakfast so well. Remind him to give the maid a bonus.Louzen looked at the breakfast menu, which was exactly what he had envisioned. The full menu was the same as the one Lidya had prepared this morning. Lidya's expression was no different from Louzen's. She was really happy to be able to eat on the balcony of their room while enjoying breakfast alone with her husband."This?""Think of it as me eating the breakfast you made earlier. It may not look and taste the same as yours, but it's much better than what I had earlier," said Louzen, expressing his heart, which was no longer as upset as it had been when he was still at the Kennedy residence."All you have to do is ask me, and I'll make it for you," replied Lidya who felt that she was not allowed to cook for him."Not now. Maybe you can cook for me next ti
Louzen called Dereck to pick him up. "Dereck, pick me up at the Kennedy residence, now." Without waiting for an answer from Dereck, Louzen immediately turned off the call. Dereck, who was already ready to pick Louzen up at any time, immediately set out to pick up the master who was still in a bad mood. Therefore, he would definitely be needed at any time, especially since there was an in-law in the house who always offended the master. Surely the master wouldn't feel at home unless his relationship with Lidya was getting better and more intimate.Back to Louzen and Lidya. Lidya was seen accompanying Louzen who was waiting for her husband's pick-up. There was no car in the garage of the Kennedy residence because he had come by helicopter last night. She was forced to wait for Dereck even though a minute felt like months. Ah, too much."Where are you going exactly, Zen?" "Anywhere, just not here. At the Kennedy residence," Louzen replied coldly."Forgive my mother, Zen," said Lidya, w
"Maybe I'm so overworked that I've lost track of time and days," she replied expressionlessly. It's true that the job of an organization leader doesn't have any days off, although they can take a day off at any time. But he would feel like there would be work delayed if he took even a day off. Not to mention his work as Spyro's new owner. Truly, those two jobs had taken up a lot of his time.Lidya smiled faintly. She regretted making them fight last night. Moreover, her husband was exhausted from work, not with another woman. "So are you going to the office?" Although she did not know where Louzen's office was, she was sure he would actually work there."It seems so. But if you want, I'll go home early and finish our conversation from last night," Louzen replied picking up a chair for her to sit on."No need. I don't want to talk about it anymore. You can work in peace," Lidya replied understandingly. "I'll get you some breakfast. Just a moment."Lidya went back to the kitchen and go
Louzen checked the reports every two hours that Dereck gave him. He also checked so many things that he didn't realize it was getting late again. He worked for almost twenty-four hours without taking a break. He did not sleep at all. He only ate once and that was because he was forced to by Dereck and Jackson. They both worked together to make Louzen want to eat his food. Although it was only a few bites, it was better than nothing.Everything was already in a stable condition. Since last night, no more than twenty-five slaves had died. It was better than them all dying. He could relax a little now.As he rested, he remembered that Lidya was still at Frederick's mansion. He asked Dereck to find out where the woman who became his wife was now. "Dereck, contact our men at the mansion. Find out where Lidya is right now?" ordered Louzen after he moved to sit on the comfortable sofa that looked very tempting now. His body looked cramped from being overworked since last night. He would str
"So what about Mr. Jacob's research?" Mr. Lewis was very curious because it was the most awaited research by the other researchers. "What I heard is that inside that woman's body is blood that has a self-defense system and can also cure diseases. I even heard that the woman's blood can also manipulate genetics or genetic mutations that can make ordinary people into people with powers."Jackson paused at Mr. Lewis' question. He was quite surprised to hear that Mr. Lewis could know so much about the allegations about the female body that the great master brought to the main headquarters. So was this information leaked? Even though the organization alone does not know this much detail. Because in addition to Mr. Jacob not saying anything, it was also Mr. Louzen who didn't care much about this. "How do you know this much, sir?" asked Jackson who was naturally surprised to hear that."Don't need to know how I heard this secret thing? Because this research is quite a stir in the research w
Jackson had returned to his side with a report in hand. The forensic results of the corpse and also the observation results of the enslaved people who were suffering from shortness of breath and weakness."Master, these are the results of the forensics team. What caused that pean artificial chemical liquid from an overseas factory's body to decompose so quickly was certainly an as not just anyone who can buy it. But if you can take this blood sample to the central laboratory institute in Megan's kingdom, maybe you can immediately get the name of anyone who has access to be able to buy this kind of chemical liquid.""Why does it have to be Megan's kingdom?" asked Louzen, who did not understand what this had to do with Megan's kingdom."If this blood sample reaches them, you will be able to get the names of those who can buy these chemicals because Megan's kingdom has a strong influence abroad, sir. They have access to wherever they want. Maybe they know how to get the chemicals?" Jacks
Dereck and Louzen immediately went to the helipad on the north side of Frederick's mansion. They were going straight to the main headquarters because there were important things he had to see. Jackson discovered that the last enemy they captured was dead and rotting in the dungeon. The air travel only took a short time. Once he arrived, Jackson greeted him and escorted Louzen to the cell holding his enemy. "What did you find, Jack?" he asked, impatient with the bad news."The enemy I found dead probably had a powerful poison in his body that caused the cells in his body to decay quickly," Jackson reported quickly. They walked hand in hand. Meanwhile, Dereck walked behind."Did you check with the forensics team?" asked Louzen again. He couldn't afford to get accurate information immediately."I did. But it's still in process. The results will probably be ready in half an hour. Over there." Jackson guided his boss to the cell where they had kept their enemy.When they arrived, Louzen
Dereck took Louzen home when he felt that his boss was about to lose consciousness. Although the boss initially refused to go home, he eventually complied. Moreover, it felt like his whole body was on fire, hot. He wanted to go home immediately to cool down.Dereck carried Louzen from the car to the room. But again, the cold man refused the assistant's invitation to rest in the room alone. Instead, he wanted to drink again at the mini bar in Frederick's mansion. Although it was not as big as the one in the bar earlier, it was quite complete. "I don't want to go to the room. I want to go to the mini bar," Louzen rambled while rejecting Dereck's hand that was about to hold him."But, boss....""I said, don't bother me!" snapped Louzen which made his confidant a little surprised. He fell silent even though his hand was still outstretched in case his boss would fall to the floor. "The others too! If you bother me too, you'll die by my hand!" said a very drunk Louzen, who even took the f
Dereck realized his mistake and immediately did as his master said. He hurriedly went out to inform one of his acquaintances to prepare a drink for the lord who was in a bad mood. There was a mini bar near Frederick's mansion. Dereck knew the owner and Louzen often came to the mini bar when he wanted a drink but was reluctant to go to fancy places. Dereck returned a few minutes later with sweat dripping down his temples. Louzen was still sitting in the same spot and immediately glanced at Dereck as if signaling him to let him know if his drink was ready."I've informed the bartender at the mini bar next door, sir. He was happy to clear the bar for you."Louzen snorted. "Then let's get there quickly."Dereck nodded. He let Louzen walk first then followed him closely. At times like this, it was important for Dereck to keep his mouth shut. The slightest mistake might bring his life to the afterlife.When Louzen and Dereck reached the mini bar, all the customers who were supposed to be t
