As time passed, the fear within the prime minister's eyes began to intensify to the point that it nearly showed through his face. Even though the guard wasn't well versed in politics or seeing through the skillful act of the politician. They are still good at their job and know that there is something wrong with these people, and they must hide something very critical. “Did you hide something from us?” The guard asks with sharp eyes. The question from the guard brought fear and anxiety inside their eyes, but the eyes of the man who claimed to be the Persian prime minister quickly returned to normal unlike the eyes of the king who was somewhat hesitant and reluctant while looking at the refugees around them like he was deciding about something within his mind, But…. “I warned you. If you didn’t listen to our request to meet with your leader. You and all of your precious refugees will regret it! Isn’t that right? My king.” “Ye… yes…” The king said in a small voice and tried to avoid
After hearing the number from his master. The Black Merchant's eyes went wide for a little bit before returning to normal. “Consider that I can’t unleash all of my power otherwise these people would immediately go insane. Even if it’s me, that number alone would take me some time before I could eliminate all of them.” Said the Black Merchant. “That’s not the worst part. From what I have detected through my spiritual sense, hundreds within that army could rival the power of this world Level 6 power user and 1 more with the power of at least equal to Level 7.” Zhu Wushang added. The Black Merchant nodded in acknowledgment and asked. “Master, now you can alter reality to the point of creating something from nothing. Can you erase that army out of existence?” The Black Merchant asks. Zhu Wushang shook his head. “No, My power can’t affect those with soul and consciousness, even if it's just the ant at our feet my power still can’t affect them directly. So consider that those cursed on
Zhu Wushang immediately looked in the direction of the jeep and saw that Aurelia's face was a little bit complicated. She frowned but was also smiling in relief at the same time while looking at Armand, the Persian king's face. He felt a little bit uncomfortable in his chest like he can’t fully breathe as he wants. This feeling is the first for him. Of course, he knew this should be the feeling called jealousy. Even if he knew that Aurelia would never betray him. But when he looked at Aurelia's face when she was looking at Armand's face… That face was like when someone saw their old flame or their ex after they had broken up for a long time but still have a good feeling with each other. All of that… It pissed him off. It’s not to the point of making him angry but this still irks him very much. Unknown to him, his sullen mood and unsatisfactory toward the current situation was clearly displayed to the Black Merchant including the people that are surrounding him who are watching the
“It’s because I’m your servant that’s why I’m trying to stop you from embarrassing yourself, master!.” The Black Merchant grit his teeth as he tried to reason with his master who wanted nothing more than to use his hug to turn that poor Armand into meat paste. “You think I give a shit!? Release me this instance! Let me hug that guy! Just one hug! If he survives I’ll stop bothering him!” Zhu Wushang argues as he increases his strength to break free from the Black Merchant hold. The Black Merchant immediately increases more power to the brink of the safety threshold so as to not harm the innocent bystander around them or they might go insane if a tiny portion of his dark power leaked out. “What? hug the guy? He said "hug the guy" right?” One of the bystanders asked his friend who stood beside him. “Yeah… I heard it, this guy is… weird and he suddenly wants to rampage and hug the gut at this hour? Is his urge so intense!? Shit! Is this guy going to target me next?” The bystander frien
While Aurelia was still pouring out all of her frustration while repeatedly beating Zhu Wushang's chest. The reaction from the surrounding people starts to get weird. The guard who wants to question Zhu Wushang is looking at each other in awkwardness and the guard who was arguing with the Persian prime minister a moment ago squinted his eyes while looking at The Black Merchant. Now, something had clicked within his mind and he remembered the face of The Black Merchant. “Oh! You’re Mr. Black Merchant! I’m sorry for not recognizing you sooner!” The guard apologizes while all of his guard fellows quickly follow suit. One must know that during these 5 years, other than guarding Zhu Wushang at the Black Pyramid. The Black Merchant had traveled to Alexandria to check on Zhu Wushang people from time to time. Many times that he had arrived here and needed to help Alexandria to establish order and repel the abomination horde away from Alexandria. He even crossed to the other world to clear
“So… Here I am. What do you want to tell me?” Aurelia asks with a little bit of impatience in her tone. Arman wants to say something but then he stops himself after he’s looking around and sees a lot of people looking at them. What he’s going to tell his ex is not something for the ears of the masses, lest they panic and that would be counterproductive for both him and Aurelia. “It’s not good to talk about it here. Can we have a safe place to talk?” Arman asks. “Fine, follow me then.” Aurelia nods and enters the jeep she used to come here along with Zhu Wushang and the Black Merchant. —--- A few minutes later Aurelia led the people from the Persian caravan to the guest room outside of the Alexandria wall. She led the people walking through the door into the guest room without saying anything and sit down on one of the luxurious couches within the room. “Please come in, sit… if you want any drink. There’s a menu on the wall panel and the table. It’s self-service here.” Aurelia sai
Zhu Wushang's questions alert both Arman and the Prime minister, they quickly look at each other as if they are trying to convey something through their eyes, but the Prime minister just stares at Arman before acting as if nothing had happened. “There’s nothing.” Said Arman. Zhu Wushang then looked at both Arman and the Prime minister seriously before saying in a cold tone. “Are you sure there is nothing you want to tell us? I warn you. If something bad happens to Alexandria, Aurelia, and her people. I’ll think of it as you deliberately hiding something that threatens the order and security of this place. And I’ll consider you my enemy.” Zhu Wushang said with a deadly serious glare that sent a chill down the spine of both Arman and the Prime Minister. “Arman…” Aurelia called. “Huh?” Arman turns toward Aurelia, hoping that she might think about their old relationship and lend a helping hand to him. “If I were you. I’ll heed his warning and tell him whatever I want to hide or what
The first picture showed the top view of Alexandria and the area surrounding it. Then comes the second picture which zooms out to see more area surrounding Alexandria, then the picture changes continuously from picture to picture as if she’s trying to find something. Then… the picture changes to the area far from Alexandria about 500 kilometers to the east. A large dark patch that looks like a horde of black insects marching through the ruined city and wasteland appears on the screen. Aurelia quickly entered the command into her notebook to see what exactly was on the screen. The system and the communication between her notebook and the command center within Alexandria and the satellite took some time to load and respond to her command. During this time, Zhu Wushang looks at the Black Merchant and nods at him to send a signal for him to stay where the exit of this room is to prevent Arman and this Prime Minister from fleeing when things are bad for them. The prime minister sensed
