"Report! General Nagakid and General Hermi have rebelled and seem to have joined the rebel army."
In the resplendent main hall of the Imperial Palace, a soldier knelt on one knee, reporting the situation to the young emperor seated on the throne.
The many high-ranking military officials standing below couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves upon hearing this.
"The brave and skilled General Nagakid actually…"
"The rebel army is forming a terrifying force."
"If we don't implement appropriate measures soon, the Empire will…"
Hearing the discussions of the many generals below, the young emperor stood up, waved his hand, and shouted:
"There's no need to panic. It's just a force from the south, we can deal with them anytime."
"The more the rebels gather, the more effective it will be to eliminate them!"
At this point, the young emperor looked at Honest, who was holding roasted meat beside him, and asked with a serious expression:
"This should be enough, Minister, right?"
Upon hearing the young emperor's words, Honest's face showed a satisfied smile.
"Hehehehe, as expected of His Majesty, so calm and composed."
"The current problem is that the thieves right under our noses are more troublesome than the distant rebel army."
At this, Honest's eyes flashed with ruthlessness and anger.
"They assassinated Ogre, the captain of the Imperial Security Force, and my relative, Iokal."
"Night Raid, who killed the Head-Slicer Demon and stole the Imperial Arm, acts as they please, and my sorrowful weight has even increased!"
After speaking, Honest puffed out his corpulent body and took a large bite of the roasted meat in his hand.
The aroma of the roasted meat seemed to calm his mood, and his distorted face slowly returned to normal.
"Send someone to deliver an order, commanding General Esdeath to speed up her return!"
When the many high-ranking military officials below heard this, a look of fear flashed in their eyes, and they hurriedly spoke:
"Isn't Great General Budo still in the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes…"
Seeing that the people below dared to contradict him, a murderous glint flashed in Honest's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Sending the Great General to suppress thieves would tarnish his pride, wouldn't it?"
"Once Esdeath returns, she will definitely wipe out all those thieves!"
Honest's face showed a look of madness as he roared at the many generals below.
The young emperor beside him also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the many generals below could only accept this outcome, but some still planned to inform Great General Budo after the meeting ended…
"Boss, it's time to expand the sales channels for the drugs…"
A subordinate in a white suit respectfully asked while pouring wine for his boss.
The one-eyed gang leader, wearing an eye patch, caressed the woman in his arms and replied with a lecherous smile:
"Yes, I'll go discuss it with Lord Zibul."
Bang!
Just then, a large hole suddenly broke open in the ceiling, and three figures jumped in.
"The place you should go is hell!"
"Tatsumi, you're wrong! The place they should go is to my little human emperor banner!"
Zhong Chen, dressed in a snow-white suit and wearing his 'Carefree Cloak', looked at the scene before him with a look of disdain and said loudly.
"Huh? Little human emperor banner? Lord Chen, is this adult an inquisitor from the Monster Country Federation?"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Tatsumi's face showed a look of confusion, and he immediately asked.
"Uh… pretty much."
Well, it's all suffering anyway. Falling into Ultima's hands and falling into the human emperor banner are pretty much the same.
"Speaking of Leone, do you always wear that outfit? Do you not have money for clothes?"
Zhong Chen looked at Leone, who only had her important parts covered, and although it was indeed pleasing to the eye, he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Zhong Chen ask this, Leone's lips curled into a cunning smile.
With a pitiful expression, she hugged Zhong Chen's arm and whispered:
"Oh my, is Lord Chen saying this because he wants to buy me clothes?"
"I haven't had new clothes for a long time, and Boss doesn't give me money."
Zhong Chen nodded knowingly after hearing this.
"I see. Here, don't say your boss doesn't care about you. Take this to spend. If it's not enough, go ask Souei for more!"
Zhong Chen took out a one-lime coin bill from his pocket and generously handed it to Leone beside him.
Leone looked at the childish lime coin, speechless.
"Boss, are you sure I can spend this money?"
"You can't spend it now, but once I destroy the Empire, you'll be able to spend it!"
"Then you'll know what a huge fortune this is."
Zhong Chen boasted to Leone with an expression that said, 'You've hit the jackpot.'
Upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, Leone had an expression of being utterly speechless.
She couldn't help but murmur to herself, 'Could this really be a huge fortune?'
Just as Leone was about to ask further, the ignored enemies also reacted.
"Intruders! Kill them!"
"Aaaahhh!"
"Charge!"
A group of subordinates in black suits, full of momentum, rushed at the three people, wielding machetes and with ferocious expressions.
Facing this sudden attack, the three showed no sign of panic.
Zhong Chen's mouth curved slightly upwards at this sight, revealing a scornful smile, and he muttered to himself:
"Oh, this is truly a real 'noisy high-class'!"
Immediately after, a classic telescopic baton appeared in each of his hands, and he shouted at the charging subordinates:
"But I'm sorry, our 'Carefree' is the strongest!"
Before his words finished, Zhong Chen charged directly towards the group of subordinates.
"A-da!"
Zhong Chen swung the batons in his hands, fiercely striking the subordinates.
Each swing was accompanied by the crisp sound of impact and the subordinates' screams.
"Take this, a strike from me!"
Zhong Chen's attacks were as fierce as a sudden storm, making it impossible for anyone to dodge.
His movements were as fast as lightning; in Tatsumi's eyes, even afterimages appeared.
For a moment, the entire scene became extremely chaotic.
The subordinates were beaten by Zhong Chen's furious attacks, completely unable to fight back, and fell to the ground screaming.
The earlier subordinate in the white suit looked at Zhong Chen, who was strolling leisurely through the crowd, with a terrified expression.
He frantically pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at Zhong Chen.
Zhong Chen, in the crowd, saw this and curled his lips, a mocking expression on his face.
"Oh, you're the first to use a firearm!"
After saying that, Zhong Chen instantly left the crowd and returned to Tatsumi and the other person's side.
"Lord Chen, should I handle the rest?"
Leone saw Zhong Chen return, assuming he was tired of playing, and immediately asked.
"No need, watch me!"
"Make your appearance, my little darling!!!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Zhong Chen finished speaking, a huge laser cannon, several meters high and one meter wide, appeared out of thin air and heavily slammed onto the ground.
PS: A personal portable version of the smallest laser cannon from a frigate, personally developed by Vegapunk.
And the many subordinates who were about to charge at Zhong Chen and the two others again.
All swallowed their saliva with blank expressions, silently looking at the huge muzzle aimed at them…
