"Apparently, they are quite difficult for us to fight. Our enemies have a backup strategy," Marco said as the president of the country of Infrastraat sat before him. The man looked at the president with an ordinary gaze as if the position held by the old man was nothing.Marco then crossed his legs and handed a document to the president, "But you just relax, I'll give you the help you deserve." When Marco said this, the president's face immediately brightened. The man named John Freddison took the document handed over by Marco. When he opened it, he immediately smiled broadly. He laughed, nodding in agreement at Marco's amount for their cooperation.Marco grinned, "Under these circumstances, we should take better care of ourselves." Marco's initial remark caught the attention of President John. The man turned away from the amount he received and focused on what Marco wanted to tell him.And now, Marco paused, "You know, just by sacrificing a little, we can get what we want. A better l
"Damn, man! You don't know yourself!" cursed the man whose hand Julius had not yet let go. The man tried to pull his wrist, which was aching, and his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to devour Julius alive. The man then pointed at Julius' face with his left forefinger, "You've made the mistake of being violent to me. Do you think I'm going to just let you go? You must have hit me deliberately to make my shoulder hurt this much. You have to take responsibility!"Julius shook his head. He tried to speak calmly, "You were the one who walked in a hurry and bumped into me. I was stationary here when you suddenly charged in from the side." That's right, Julius wasn't moving when this strange man in front of him suddenly appeared and hit him with force. The man also cursed him outright when Julius hadn't said anything yet.But the man still didn't accept Julius' explanation. He even came forward and pushed Julius' shoulder with an unfriendly look in his eyes, "What the hell? You think I don't
The two bodyguards' eyes bulged when they heard Julius' denial. To him, Julius was just a janitor who was no higher than a presidential bodyguard. The man girded his loins and stepped forward to intimidate Julius, "Do you know what you just said? How dare you!"The man then pointed at Julius with a very annoyed look, "I'm very tired, and I already have a lot of work to do! Don't you try to add to my burden! Besides, this cleaning is your job. What's so hard about mopping the dirty floor again? Is it my business if you have to clean the floor you cleaned earlier?" His eyes bulged so many times, scolding Julius that some of his spit seemed to fly in the air.The guard spoke loudly, half threatening Julius in the hope that Julius would immediately apologize and do what he asked. But apparently, the guard's loud voice did not have much effect on Julius. Instead, Julius casually said, "I'm busy."Not only that, Julius also added, "Besides, you're not babies anymore. So clean up your mess."
Julius had finished his work in the room. And now, he walked out and opened the door. But Julius couldn't just leave the building because two guards suddenly appeared at the door with suspicious faces.The one with the towering body asked Julius with a probing face, "What did you just do there? Didn't the cleaning finish two hours ago?" The man scrutinized Julius' appearance from top to bottom, looking for anything suspicious. However, when he found nothing unusual, he refocused on listening to Julius' answer because Julius looked like any other janitor.Julius didn't seem panicked. The man was still as flat as ever, "I left this wet rag inside, and I picked it up before going home." Julius even picked up the half-wet rag he had been carrying since the beginning. The man now looked like an ordinary janitor. And the bodyguard no longer felt suspicious. If he had known what Julius had just done, the bodyguard would have immediately pointed his firearm at Julius.So now, the bodyguard no
Julius grinned, "Ah, you seem to have guessed who sent me? How scared are you of the Luckystone family? Seems like you're very keen on eliminating their family's power, huh?" asked Julius in a frivolous tone that sounded quite annoying to the president's ears. The man glared at Julius from behind the desk, now covered in thick bulletproof glass, Marco having entered it a few minutes ago. The man, who was initially calm, slowly stepped in when he realized Julius was carrying a gun in his pants pocket.Julius laughed loudly, clapping his hands with a fearless look, "But don't worry, all your plans will end soon because you don't have any abilities." The man looked like a psychopath, ready to slaughter anyone in front of him.Hearing Julius' words, Marco and the president glanced at each other and smiled broadly at Julius, "You're pretty crazy, too. Instead of being a subordinate of the Luckystone family, you'd better join me. I can give you a lot of money for fun and change your life, w
At that moment, Marco and President John immediately widened their eyes. Both were shocked, almost hitting the table in disbelief and feeling played. In front of them, the person they thought was just an errand boy was,, the enemy they had been after all this time. The main heir of the Luckystone family was sitting with his legs crossed and staring at them with a frivolous look. Marco clenched his hands even more, "Why is it like this? You're the heir apparent to the Luckystone family?" The man chuckled and took a slow breath before continuing, "How dare you come here? You should die and rot with all those useless soldiers of yours! You're just trash that stands in the way of all my successes and plans."Marco insulted Julius with a painful rant, for he felt utterly deceived by a figure who should have been elsewhere strategizing, not coming to him in person. And now, the man grinned, "But it's good that you came here on your own, I didn't have to bother looking for you among your an
President John and Marco looked at each other. They were silent for a long time until the president limped towards Julius, "How much compensation do you want?" he asked in a hoarse, heavy voice. He stepped closer before his feet were held up by Marco, who was still on the floor, unable to stand.The man who was the future heir to the Wood family looked at the president and stopped him, "Don't trust that rotten bastard. He just wants to play us." Marco's body had begun to tremble, a sign that the poison he had inhaled was beginning to take hold of his body more and more. He swallowed repeatedly, enduring the pain that kept attacking and making him short of breath.President John gritted his teeth in annoyance. The man glared at Marco, who had let go, "I'm the one you're playing with!" he shouted with little energy left. The man with uncovered eye bags pointed at Marco angrily, "Look! I'm having a hard time right now! I shouldn't have had to confront Skylonia just to get to the island.
Julius chuckled aloud, the man laughing at President John's pathetic state with blood on his face and hands, "You fool! I knew that a traitor would remain a traitor forever." Julius was still chuckling, looking at the president with a humorous gaze.Then, Julius threw a bullet onto the floor with a heavy clatter, and Julius placed his hands on his thighs with a disgusted look, "You should realize that I'm testing you. Had you been so good to me from the start without doing something stupid like this, I would have released you and made you my accomplice."Julius snorted, "But as it turns out, you're still a stupid, brainless traitor." Julius touched his head with his forefinger, emphasizing which part of his body President John lacked. The man laughed at the president's fate so brazenly, "You don't know the tactics of fighting a man like me. Has your brain been destroyed by inhaling poison gas?"Julius' voice rang out loudly in the room of only three people. The man laughed, watching t
