Chapter 706 - 707 – Third tournament.
<<Smiling Cow.>>
<<According to Blubeerry, they are the hackers that maybe be able to breach Maxvranduke Industries.>>
<<Still, making contact with that kind of hacker will be a challenge by itself.>>
<<Since A: They are elusive because they are wanted criminals.>>
<<And B: I can't expose my identity.>>
<<What if the bastard I contact isn't some Smiling Cow, but instead some fake? Maybe a bait to catch criminals?>>
<<I need to be careful about who I'm contacting.>>
<<But how the hell am I going to do that?>>
<<Trying to get a contact to the real deal will fucking take shit ton of time, maybe even months.>>
<<…>>
<<Still, at this point and after so many attempts? It doesn't look like I have any other choice left.>>
<<The only way to get any form of proof of corruption would be via hacking.>>
<<I need a proof of that company shady connections as well as corruption in order to destroy them.>>
<<I need to destroy their name.>>
<<Their reputation.>>
<<Their truth.>>
<<Obviously just gaining information alone won't do, since considering that they have some people inside of the "police", they can just spread around fake news and do false police arrest.>>
<<Honestly, this does sounds like a bit of stretch and stuff….>>
<<But the fact remains that this bastard was able to hide the whole story behind his son almost killing somebody.>>
<<Somebody from higher up must had been paid to close the investigation and pretend that there was one in the first place.>>
<<This is scary.>>
<<They can just bribe bastards and pretend like the attempt at murder never had happened?!>>
<<…>>
<<So, I guess I really have no choice but to do "illegal" stuff in order to deal with that bastard "illegal" stuff.>>
<<Crime against crime, eh?>>
<<…>>
<<Wow… That does sounds like I'm some sort of vigilante wanabe, huh?>>
"Em…. Your majesty?" – said Aworia.
"Y-yes?" – replied ClownFrog with a bit of delay as he was writing some documents.
"Are you alright?" – asked worried Aworia.
"Since this morning you have been…. 'Showing' some sort of aura."
"A hostile one."
"Servants are straight up refusing to go near your room, fearing you."
"O-oh…. Sorry…" – said ClownFrog as the menacing aura around him started slowly dispersing,
"…"
(Ever since ClownFrog came back… He seems… Pissed off?) – thought Aworia.
(I mean, like he was straight up "death".)
(I was straight up terrified of even entering this room.)
(But once I did… Shit.)
(I've thought I was about to be killed.)
(….Is he mad?)
(Is it about-)
"If you are about ask about the dragon, then no. It is not about it." – said ClownFrog as he stared at his wife.
"It is something… More personal, per say. Something that only involves me."
"If possible, could you leave me alone? I really need some time….Just be by myself."
"…I understand." – said Aworia as she then left the room.
<<Honestly speaking, I want to rush it.>>
<<I want to try and managed to get any form of contact to that whole "Smiling Cow" person.>>
<<But I also need to take care of the empire.>>
<<I need "MONEY".>>
<<Not only that, I need "power" in this world.>>
<<Destroying that shitty company is one of the steps I need to take, but if I want to make that shitty brat suffer as well as make all of those fucking traitors suffer the same fate, I need to destroy everything they build.>>
<<I will destroy that fucking Gamerio empire!>>
<<This is their base and their foundation.>>
<<If I destroy that empire, these bastards will lose EVERYTHING.>>
<<…>>
<<But the problem is that the Gamerio empire is nowhere near us.>>
<<Even if we were to cross the seas, we would need to traverse quiet some distance…. Which also would mean we would need to go through some kingdoms.>>
<<And that would definitely means wars.>>
<<Gamerio empire isn't an easy foe as well.>>
<<They are one of more powerful nations of there, so fighting them alone will be bit challenging.>>
<<…>>
<<There is also question about "allies" and "enemies".>>
<<Who is willing to be our "friends"?>>
<<And who will wish for us to be no more?>>
<<Considering how aggression we seen people being towards us…. Yeah… There is good chance we may end up finding ourselves in a brand-new fucking war.>>
<<So, before we would even get ANY chance at attacking those fuckers, we need to brace ourselves for another wave of bullshit, which will definitely come our way.>>
<<Empire will take time to recover and after it recovers, it will definitely start improving and evolving.>>
<<This is something many people wishes to not happened, since we would definitely become one of the biggest powerhouses out there.>>
(So, as soon as the barriers is down, we may found ourselves in a war.>>
<<…Still, there is also a good chance that nobody would attack us.>>
<<I'm officially married to the dragon princess of the dragon empire.>>
<<Many people will think that if somebody were to try and attack me, they would have to deal with not only one empire, but two!>>
<<…>>
<<But that is if the dragon empire are truly our allies.>>
<<Tail returned back to our empire, since if he was gone for too long, people would start question his abnormal long absence.>>
<<Still, we were able to plant some "agents" in the dragon empire…. And oh boy.>>
<<Things are apparently "HECTIC", to say the least.>>
<<Apparently the dragons clans of the empire were completely caught off guard by the marriage going through.>>
<<Some people apparently thought that it would be just simple "alliance", but the marriage itself had caught people completely off guard.>>
<<Heck. If they were to hear that Aworia is already pregnant with my child, THEN they will go nuts.>>
<<Anyway, many people DESPISES this marriage and was completely against it.>>
<<But at the same time, people were "neutral" about it…. I can probably guess they want to see if it they should "be against it" or gain some benefits by being "friendly".>>
<<….So yea….We need to deal with the dragon empire first.>>
<<We need to secure the "alliance" with the whole empire.>>
<<Or completely crush it.>>
<<This is the first order of business.>>
<<However, according to the dragon king Woi, my father-in-law…. He says that coming to him right now would be…. Quiet bit problematic.>>
<<I can kind of see why he does not want me to come.>>
<<I mean, the story about one of the dragon kings attacking me straight up spread far and wide, all because of these fuckers not trying to even hide the fact that they are from the dragon empire!>>
<<So, the rumors, accusation and theories are all going around throughout the entire dragon empire.>>
<<If I were to appear now, it may only cause a "sparks" to start popping up.>>
<<Even worse, people are still not aware of the fact that I've already completed my evolution.>>
<<If they were to see the "new" me and my new class, the [Death Lord] in action…. It would definitely cause some fear to spread.>>
<<…>>
<<The time went by…. And I've just stayed in the empire, dealing with all sorts of trouble…. Before the servers were frozen.>>
<<The tournament has begun.>>
<<This time around, the tournament in question was the same on as the first one.>>
<<I mean, it had exactly same model.>>
<<I've thought they would change things up like the last time, but I guess the first tournament model was more than good enough.>>
<<Anyway, us 6, the core members of the Purple Hyena guild, including also Lil and Ampi, all of us decided to not participate.>>
<<Although they only asked 6 of us to not participate, both Lil and Ampi were quiet against participating if we were not going to do so.>>
<<But for Lil's case…. I think she just wanted to be ready to spent some time with her mom… Since there is good chance she will wake up soon.>>
<<Still, even thought top 8 players of our guild aren't participating, that doesn't mean the rest of our guild are forbitten from entering.>>
<<If anything, these bastards from our guild managed to make through their first round, without having even single one of our members getting eliminated.>>
<<Which is quiet nice.>>
<<Especially both Tail and Wretch went on the total rampage, eliminating some of the ranker players all on their own that tried jumping them.>>
<<Even without us 8 being in the tournament, our guild presence could be still clearly felt by all the players that participated.>>
<<Meanwhile for us?>>
<<Well… I've decided to take my girl on a date.>>
<<Or more exactly, she forced me to take one.>>
<<I've apparently been…. Too focused on dealing with those fuckers while also trying to manage the empire.>>
<<True…. Recently been… Overworking myself.>>
<,And true… The date did gave me some form of break.>>
<<…>>
<<But it doesn't feels right.>>
<<I'm not talking about addiction to play that game, since I knew myself that I was playing too much and I've planned on taking the break regardless as soon as the tournament started.>>
<<…>>
<<But still…>>
<<I know hell will break loose.>>
<<Both in game and in the real world.>>
<<And this is just matter of time.>>
