"Aiya! Lord Chen has so many identities?" Chtholly looked at Zhong Chen, who was still posing, with a surprised expression.
Compared to Chtholly, Willem was even more shocked. The massive objects in the sky had completely shattered his imagination of spaceships.
"Zhong Chen, are all these spaceships yours? And what kind of country is the Monster Country Federation? I've never heard of it before."
Hearing Willem's confusion, Nephren, who was beside him, also nodded expressionlessly, indicating that she had the same question.
"It's a bit troublesome to explain, so... come... look at the camera!"
"Shua..."
The three of them reflexively looked at Zhong Chen, and then were illuminated by a small gadget.
Suddenly, a lot of information about the Monster Country Federation appeared in their minds.
"This... this... how is this possible? Traversing worlds is simply unimaginable!"
Willem sorted through the memories that had appeared in his mind, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.
At the same time, when he looked at Zhong Chen again, a trace of respect involuntarily mixed in his gaze.
"I never expected Lord Chen to be such an amazing person..."
"Indeed, but Lord Chen's usual behavior always feels a bit out of place for such a big shot."
Hearing Chtholly's evaluation, Zhong Chen's head was almost tilted to the sky.
However, after hearing Nephren's evaluation, Zhong Chen instantly petrified, his face full of disbelief.
You didn't see wrong, this wasn't an adjective, but Zhong Chen had indeed turned into a stone statue.
"Aiya aiya aiya!!! This is bad, Lord Chen has turned to stone! Willem, quickly think of a way!"
Chtholly, seeing Zhong Chen suddenly turn to stone, shouted at Willem in a panic.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about A Chen. He's always like this, he'll be fine in a moment."
Just as the three of them were in a state of panic, a girlish voice with a hint of innocence came from beside them.
Upon hearing it, the three of them quickly looked towards the source of the voice.
They saw a beautiful blue-haired girl smiling at them, accompanied by two equally beautiful maids.
"Um, may I ask who you are?" Chtholly asked cautiously, looking at the other party.
"Me? Hehe, I'm A Chen's direct superior, the Emperor of the Monster Country Federation. A Chen has to listen to everything I say... Ow! (So painful!)"
"Rimuru, when you're spreading rumors, can you at least check if the person involved is present!"
Rimuru, covering her little head, looked up at Zhong Chen, who had just knocked her on the head, with a wronged expression.
"Ah... he recovered..." A hint of surprise flashed in Nephren's eyes. She hadn't expected that Zhong Chen's petrification was all a game.
Is this guy even human?
"Wuwuwu... I didn't say anything wrong, I am clearly your direct superior..."
"Hmph hmph... Sorry, your authority has already been usurped by me. You're just a mascot now! Wahahaha!"
"When I go back, I'm going to tell Jing Jiejie that you bullied me!"
Willem looked at the two individuals, who seemed to be the leaders of the Monster Country Federation, with a face full of confusion.
This Emperor did not seem particularly bothered by being usurped, and Zhong Chen dared to speak to the Emperor so brazenly.
"Cough cough... That's not necessary. Isn't it just authority? I'll give it all to you, okay..."
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Rimuru stroked her chin and pondered for a moment, then asked a soul-searching question:
"A Chen, you don't seem to have much authority either, do you?"
"This... That's right, I don't have any authority either. Oh no, we've both been usurped!!!"
Shua... As soon as Zhong Chen finished speaking, Commander Sengoku and others suddenly appeared a few meters away from everyone.
"Lord Chen, don't you feel guilty saying that?"
"You're the one who dumped all the work on us, okay!!!"
"Kowai ne, if only I could be like you, not work and still get paid..."
Zhong Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp glint upon hearing Kizaru's words. He waved his hand and shouted loudly at Kizaru:
"You slacker, you have the least right to say that! You were just at a comic convention during work hours a while ago, don't think I don't know!"
"I'm docking your pay!!!"
Hearing the other party's words, Kizaru looked at Zhong Chen with a bewildered expression. How did this guy know he went to the comic convention?
He had clearly observed carefully, and not a single one of the idlers, led by Zhong Chen, was there!
At this moment, Aihara Enju, who was in class in Academy City, sneezed loudly.
"Achoo!"
"Enju, are you sick? Do you want to go to the infirmary to get checked out?" The teacher on the podium stopped lecturing and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, teacher, my nose is just a little itchy."
"That's good. If you're not feeling well, be sure to say so early, okay?"
"Hai! (Yes)!"
Returning to the scene, Sakazuki showed no change in his expression when he heard Zhong Chen was going to dock Kizaru's pay.
Dock his pay? You don't even know how much Kizaru's monthly salary is, how can you dock it? What a joke.
However, docking Kizaru's pay is indeed something to consider. The money docked can be used to buy Nice the figure she liked before.
Hmm, that's what I'll do!
Kizaru, completely unaware that his salary had been targeted by Akainu, still looked at Zhong Chen with a dazed expression.
"Lord Chen, um... how about we talk about serious matters first?" Fujitora Issho, with a "simple and honest" smile on his face, advised Zhong Chen.
"Uh... alright, let's talk about serious matters."
Zhong Chen, realizing he had gone off-topic again, nodded upon hearing Issho's words, then turned to Willem and the other two and said:
"You've seen it, my people have arrived, so you won't have to fight anymore."
"Besides, Chtholly and the others are still of school age in our Monster Country Federation."
"Their current job is to study hard in school!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Willem's eyes after hearing Zhong Chen's words.
If Chtholly and the others no longer had to fight, but could go to school and make friends like normal girls, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
"If that's the case, then that would naturally be for the best, but what do you plan to do with this world?"
Willem looked up at the many behemoths in the sky. Those guys on the Sky Island must have noticed them by now.
"Of course, I'm taking this world into my pocket. All of you will be incorporated into the Monster Country Federation and become citizens of the Monster Country Federation."
"This way, I'm afraid some people will jump out and incite the public to resist..." Willem said with a worried expression, thinking of some guys on the Sky Island.
Upon hearing Willem's words, Zhong Chen's face suddenly broke into an incomparably brilliant smile.
"Not cooperating? Not cooperating is good. We'll just package them all up and send them to an uninhabited planet."
"Commander Sengoku, move the Colossus over in a bit and let those guys be close-range observers of a planet's disintegration!"
Hiss!!!
Upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Hey, hey, hey, don't destroy a planet over such a small matter!
PS: Colossus, a planet-destroying weapon in Stellaris.
Commander Sengoku, thinking of the Colossus's consumption, wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and cautiously said:
"Um... Lord Chen, using the Colossus for a few resistors, the consumption..."
Upon hearing the other party's concern, Zhong Chen showed a generous expression, waved his hand, and said:
"Consumption? Go find Shuna for reimbursement, just say I said so!"
And upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, Sengoku's worries instantly vanished, and he even put on a fawning expression and sidled up to Zhong Chen.
"Alright! With your words, it's easy to talk about. Um, just destroy one planet? How about two more shots? I want to try if this thing is exciting!"
"My goodness, so you're the real King of Hell!"
