Chapter 560: 560
Kant’s Revenge
Kant maintained a smile throughout the entire banquet.
Whether it was the follow-up deduction in the small meeting or the walking and greeting at the banquet, he always made every guest feel flattered with his amiable smile.
The scale of the banquet wasn’t too big, but it was destined to be the most delicious banquet that the guests would never forget. Kant’s congratulatory speech came to an end.
Soldiers, businessmen, nobles, scholars, and socialites from all walks of life were holding transparent goblets filled with high-class drinks such as Youle Milk Tea, Sprite, and Wahaha AD calcium milk. They were elegant or gorgeous, with reserved and elegant smiles on their faces. Some of them even had the residue of Holiyoshi on their lips. They watched the benevolent and rich Prince Kant ascend the platform together.
” I hope that everyone has enjoyed themselves tonight. I hope that everyone will not be satisfied tonight, because in the near future, another even grander banquet will be held.”
” I promise everyone that it will be an even more unforgettable day.”
“I promise everyone that the delicacies at that time will be even more delicious than today.”
Hearing this, even though they had eaten enough today, and even the noble ladies loosened their belts a little so that they could at least taste a little of each food, people still couldn’t help but look forward to it.
In terms of food, their happiness threshold was still very low.
Something even more delicious…What could it be?
“Because-”
When the crowd heard Kant’s voice and saw him raise his wine glass high, their smiles grew brighter.
“Because the enemy’s fear and despair are as sweet as honey! The cries and screams of the enemy’s collapsing family business were like the sound of nature! Another victory will add splendor to the new feast. Go home, eat and drink well, do the right thing, stand in the right place, and hope that we will meet again in the near future-”
The Earthling poured the cup, and the real wine was as red as blood, spilling onto the ground.
Perhaps the people from the other world did not know about this ritual. This was a ritual for people who could not drink to drink.
Or, let them drink in advance.
“Drink!”Kant shouted.
At this moment, the guests remembered something.
It was actually a little cold tonight.
Since the master had announced the end of the banquet, the guests had to leave obediently. All the servants in Tidal Manor had been dismissed. There was actually no one to take care of the huge villa, let alone the butler. However, Colonel Henry Beck volunteered to take on the important task of sending them off.
Even Master Niola and Brigadier General Kalvesaron, who maintained their pride as the world’s top naval officer, put down their airs and walked around, instructing the soldiers to do something or nodding to send off the guests who were leaving. They instinctively wanted to find something to do.
In other words, he wanted to prove to Kant that he was working hard to find something to do.
The sky from Tidal Sound Manor to the city was lit up by the long-lasting flares of the spellcasters, illuminating the way for the departing guests. From the city, the starting point of Tidal Sound Manor was like a starry sky.
However, every guest who left felt a bone-chilling chill despite feeling blissful satisfaction and endless aftertaste. The banquet was filled with happiness and sweetness, but it ended with a murderous ending. While the Forbidden Mage who tried to control Distant Harbor displayed his great wealth, he also reminded the guests not to forget the sword in his hand and the blood on it.
Then…
Who was the enemy?
On the third floor of the manor, Kant stood on the balcony, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff in the distance.
The low-ranking officers who had been selected from the fleets of the three countries were well-mannered, decent, and educated. They were serving as attendants and cleaning up the mess under the command of their superiors and Horus.
As noble navy officers, they had to do the work of servants. However, none of them knew shame. Instead, they were very happy because His Highness had promised that the remaining items of the banquet would belong to them.
When these dignified and proud naval officers graduated from their respective military schools, they would never have thought that they would one day be ecstatic to get some leftovers.
– –
F * ck, it smells so good.
Horus was directing the cleaning work. The Transformers had become very cunning under the influence and instructions of their father. Among the officers present, there were those who caught Horus ‘eye or those who had analyzed that there was a high chance of jumping ship. They had all been instructed by Horus in a low voice. For example, which kind of candy was good for preservation and which kind of things should not be snatched. If it was an extremely rare talent, the whispers of demons would ring in their ears.
” Give the candies and food you collected to your subordinates who are not present. I will give you a list.” Lord Horus said,” Father will give you some well-packaged ones that will help you preserve them for a long time.”
Of course, the wrapping paper would be processed with a precise and swift flame.
There were some temptations that you thought you could overcome, but it was only because you had never experienced it.
Kant watched everything quietly.
Long Niang quietly came to his side.
“Are you feeling better?” She asked,” I only saw you show similar anger and killing intent when Ah Gui fell into the River of Origin. They were all frightened by you.”
Kant lowered his eyes.
“Alive or dead?”
“Dead.”
“You killed him?”
“Yes.”
“Then why are you still so angry?”
“Revenge doesn’t mean that you won’t be angry anymore.” Kant said coldly,” I wish he could be resurrected a hundred more times.”
“Ah, that’s really…” Lily said softly.
She looked at Kant’s side profile.
That must be the story of Bright Sand.
The Battle of Valentan shocked the world. Kant leaped to the center of the world’s stage. Then, the aerial battle of Danfeng and Lucerne, as well as the Battle of Faraway Harbor, the people of Aurora in the east won time and time again. His enemies were all the powerful overlords of this world, but he won head-on.
Such a fierce man, one would not see one in eight hundred years.
Therefore, the priority and importance of Kant’s intelligence had increased rapidly in a short period of time. It had become the top priority for the leaders of various organizations to pay attention to and investigate at all times.
However, his life was blank. The first time he appeared was in the Empire’s Brilliant Sand Region.
This life experience after meeting Princess Tina was investigated over and over again. Now, the dilapidated splendor sand town was full of vitality because spies, spies, demon hunters, bounty hunters, adventurers, and mercenaries from various countries and forces all lived in the local area. There were so many of them that it led to the recovery of the local economy. These spies searched for survivors everywhere and asked for information repeatedly. From the built capital to the tire marks on the ground, everything was recorded, and the information was piled up like a mountain.
However, they only knew the general outline of the matter.
The Goode family betrayed their friendship with Tedarell and killed the Goethe’s diplomatic mission. The entire diplomatic mission was killed, and only Princess Tina used the Eternal Peace Protection to leave. Kant, who met them in the outer seas, turned into a vengeful spirit and ignited a raging fire, burning the Brilliant Sand Region into hell.
However, the most important question, which was also the question that the monarchs and leaders of various forces wanted to know the most, was still hidden in the thick fog.
That was, how did the people of Aurora, who were obviously extremely weak at that time and had no choice but to flee in panic under the betrayal and ambush of the Goode family, obtain the terrifying destructive power and cruel methods to flatten the entire military force of a viscount territory overnight? Even when it came to Valentan, he even knew forbidden spells.
This abnormal leveling speed made the Rulers feel a terrifying sense of unease.
Therefore, they were eager to know the answer.
And now, Lily realized that she had vaguely caught a key point.
She said softly,”Yes…” A little beggar?”
Kant was silent.
That was it.
Who would have thought that Kant, who had been chased by a group of peasants with dung forks and fled in a sorry state from the east, would become a Skyquaking Dragon who was decisive and ruthless, capable of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of elven armies without hesitation, in just a few months? He was a child beggar who was as humble as an ant.
This was the truth hidden under the dust of history, but Long Niang was not happy about it.
She merely looked at Kant calmly.
Beneath his silent exterior was an endless surge of sorrow and anger.
In fact, the intelligence gathering work of the secret agents was already very good.
Long Niang, who had read all the information about Kant from the Dragon Emperor, naturally knew that according to the eyewitnesses that night, Kant and another Goethe Knight had broken out of the encirclement side by side. They had tried their best to escape from a group of civilians and serfs who had been incited by the wanted posters. However, Kant was the only one who had returned for revenge.
That knight was the son of Prime Minister Goethe, Calvin.
Combined with Kant’s tolerance and concession to Goethe’s former prime minister in Lucerne, the truth was obvious.
“He must be very happy to see you today.”
Long Niang’s voice broke the silence of the night.
Kant turned his head. His gaze was as calm as the sea, so calm that it was frightening.
Lily turned a blind eye.
She looked at the moonlight outside and said softly,” You know, since ancient times, the kings and lords of various countries have treated the child beggars. It doesn’t matter if they starve to death. As long as they don’t become an eyesore, they can roll in the mud, die, and rot. But sometimes, they will also adopt these orphans who have no parents.”
At this point, Long Niang revealed a mocking smile.
” We feed them and give them clothes, but we also train them with drugs and secret arts. We let them fight beasts and fight each other. We teach them the skills of killing and the concept of loyalty. Many of them will die or be disabled. The former will be thrown away without even bothering to dig and bury them. The latter will be killed directly because they are no longer useful.”
” Those who truly survive will become death warriors. Their only value is to die for their master. They can assassinate or block assassinations for their master. This is the meaning of their lives.”
Lily turned around and looked at Kant.
“You hate that little beggar, very, very much.”
” When you heard about the child beggars in the distant harbor today, you recalled the past and awakened the rage and hatred in your heart. However, you did not vent your killing intent on these orphans, nor did you choose to train them in a cold and cruel way to become death warriors who only listened to your orders. Instead, you changed their lives, reconstructed their personalities, taught them skills, and gave them a second chance to choose…”
“Do you want all the child beggars in the world to stop being like that ant?”
” Very impressive. As a dragon, I have to show my respect to you.”
” You’ve done what the rulers of the world couldn’t.”
“Your friend will definitely be happy about this.”
Tonight, or rather now, Lily’s tone was very gentle, just like the moonlight tonight.
Kant stopped his silence.
” No, you’re wrong. I’m just taking revenge.”
” Because I was so furious and brutal that I hated my enemies who had already died, I made sure that no one like it would ever be like it again. I made sure that all the little beggars like it would have a better life. In the end, it was the only one who was like trash, twisted and lowly like maggots and dust. It got nothing…If it knew after it died, it would definitely be envious, twisted, hateful, furious, and unwilling to be jealous. If that’s the case, I’ll be very happy.”
His tone was as heavy as a mountain, and every word he said was like grinding flesh and blood.
“Even so, your friend will be very happy, right?”
” If he knew,” Lily said softly,” he might shake his head helplessly and say,” I really can’t do anything about this guy.” But he would also say,” Well done.” He should be such a person.”
Kant returned to his silence. He did not say a word as he stared at the dark tide in the distance.
His eyes were calm, as if he was reminiscing about a long time ago.
After an unknown amount of time, he was lost in thought.
And then…
“.. Meow.”
He seemed to be hearing things. The voice was gentle yet stiff, but it was extremely familiar and pleasant to hear. Kant blinked and turned his head subconsciously, not understanding what was going on.
Under the moonlight, Long Niang’s fair face was slightly flushed.
“What are you looking at?”
“Since you solved a mystery for me tonight and your cooking method is more to my liking, I’ll give it to you for free this time!” she said coldly. A full 0.1% of the shares! You earned so much for nothing! So cheer up! Next time, you’ll have to charge me!”
Then Lily turned and strode away.
” I didn’t hear you clearly!” Kant snapped back to his senses and shouted.
“It’s none of my business!”
The hurried voice was accompanied by the sound of the door closing heavily.
Kant was stunned for a moment. Then, he leaned against the railing and slowly smiled.
However…
“I got it.”
If a daughter was a father’s personal coat, then an iron son was Kant’s personal power armor. Horus ‘voice was stiff and indifferent, but it was filled with the air of a reliable leader.
“Lily’s expression, demeanor, appearance, and voice when she meowed at you. That amazing charm has been captured by my ultra-high-definition camera.”
Kant snapped his fingers. Come! Let me see!”
“Then…”
“Father, what do you intend to offer in exchange?” Horus ‘voice was reliable and faithful.
“Unfilial son!” Kant said with a scowl. To think that you even secretly used Earth’s network to download things! Do you see what those good people made you pay? I’m your father. Do I have to pay you to watch this?”
“No, Father, you are wrong.”
The close-fitting power armor turned into an iron maiden.
” It’s not what you’re going to use in exchange for seeing this,” Horus said.” It’s what you’re going to use in exchange for Princess Tina, Ah Xing, and even Miss Wang Xiaoman not seeing this.”
“You’re f * cking doing it again-”
The next day.
Kant’s tone was low.
What a shame, to be forced to sign a humiliating treaty with an unfilial son.
Well, that was a bit of an exaggeration.
After all, the black materials in Horus ‘hands were just like the forbidden spells in Kant’s hands. They could not be casually destroyed. The deterrence could only be maintained at the highest level before the incident. After using them, it would be a life-and-death struggle. Horus had been with Kant for so long that he understood this principle.
He just took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction.
He also made a request.
In short, Horus disliked part of his current job.
He was forced to go from being the sharpest dagger on his father’s back to being a customer service officer for hundreds of idiots.
Calculating data, creating files, analyzing plans, making charts, and taking time to complete the weapon design given by his father, conducting many experiments, and spending day and night with thousands of soldiers equipped with bracelets. Even the mechanical life forms that were incomprehensible on Earth could not withstand so many threads. This heavy work made the Transformer feel the fatigue of the soul.
His protest was that Kant had to find a replacement within the next few days.
She would share all the boring work with him.
After all, the more mortals he met, the more he liked his father. These mortal lives were shallow, ignorant, and ignorant. How could they compare to his creator? They were filled with endless possibilities.
As for Kant’s questions like,” Where can I find an artificial intelligence that can replace you?”
” Father, this is a problem that you have to consider, not mine. I’m still young and don’t know anything. I’m still a useless mechanical life form. If I can solve it, you can too. If I can’t solve it, such as the Aberrant Dragon and the Parabolic Element, Father can also solve it alone…”
Obviously, Horus was deeply displeased with Kant’s order to leave with Lily in the Underworld. He was extremely displeased, extremely displeased. He was so displeased that he wanted to show Wang Xiaoman all the photos and videos of all the women his father had flirted with in the other world.
Kant could only agree to the unfilial son’s conditions in humiliation.
As for the time limit, Horus was rather understanding. He agreed to give Kant some time, but his father had to put it on the agenda as soon as possible. Otherwise…
“Otherwise, Princess Tina and Miss Ah Xing would have seen this world’s first family documentary.”
Yesterday, he had been exposed by the Empire and backstabbed by his unfilial son. Kant was so petty. It was normal for him to vent his anger. No, he was not venting his anger. It was normal for him to pursue the matter.
Look, these little beggars have no parents and no one to take care of them. Who is to blame for them becoming scum? It was the responsibility of the nobles, the responsibility of the officials, so it must be the responsibility of the rebels.
Why did Horus stab me in the back? Because he was always at 24247. Why was he so busy? It’s all because of those rebels who want to oppose me. Therefore, it’s definitely their responsibility.
Kill them. Kill them ruthlessly, bit by bit.
As he ate his breakfast, Kant looked at Madame Long, who was sitting opposite him. His mood improved a little.
A smile finally appeared on his face.
“What are you looking at?” Lily glared at him.
I just thought that your meow last night was very nice, so I made it into a ghost clip.
Of course, this kind of stun bomb couldn’t be taken out casually.
Not long after, Han Zezheng came to visit.
This merchant from Aurora, who had joined Kant and done some things for him, and had reaped the initial profits yesterday, was even more respectful and humble. However, he was also a little worried.
“Your Highness…”
” I sense something bad,” he said in a deep voice.” There might be a problem with the food supply in the distant port.”
Lily put down the ice cream waffle in her hand.
Kant’s expression did not change. He picked up some pickles and added them to the porridge.” Why do you say that?”
” I thought about it the whole night. If they insist on being enemies with you, they should at least reach a relatively lenient agreement with you. They must show their strength. You won the hearts of the people yesterday and made them trust you. You conquered them with food. Of course, it’s also food.”
“After I figured this out, I immediately arranged for people to go to the grain store, the city gate, and the river port to wait overnight to observe the situation of the grain entering the city this morning,”said Han Zezheng.
He took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Kant respectfully.
It was written in the Aurora language.
Kant’s favorability increased by three points.
He even used the statistics that Kant had shown him at the meeting yesterday.
Although it was very clumsy.
Favorable impression points increased by five.
“This picture was made by my son.” Han Zezheng said softly,” I have already severely punished him. He has already committed a crime. After all, he used Your Highness’s skills…”
Kant waved his hand, and Old Han immediately shut his mouth.
“Hmm, if I’m not wrong, the grain price will go up a little today, right?” he asked after a few glances.
“Yes.”
Han Zezheng said in a low voice,”The price increase has to be done bit by bit. With the panic of rumors, it will trigger a rush to buy. Then, the price can continue to increase, causing even greater panic…”
Kant smiled.
” I’m testing you,” he asked directly.” Continue. What do you think will happen next? What do you want to do?”
