The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Time to s.h.i.+ne

“Who do you think you are pointing your punny weapons to? I am Zamir Jarken, third son of Count Jarken!”

When the soldiers at the gate heard those words, they all trembled and lowered their weapons.

For a family to become part of the n.o.bility in the G.o.dslayer Humankind Empire, they needed more than just powerful backing and military merits. They also required incredible brute power.

Although none of those soldiers knew how strong Count Jarken was, he was definitely someone that even Wave Champions, ent.i.ties capable of moving at the speed of sound, would dread.

Even the squad’s leader, who was shouting orders a moment ago, grew nervous. Of course, the idea that the cadets were lying crossed his mind, but he immediately discarded it. He did not believe that someone who was not a scion could wear such impressive Wave Artifact armor.

‘G.o.d dammit. How did I get involved in this? They told me to delay them for at least a couple of hours, but how am I supposed to do that now?’

Just as the squad leader was trying to figure out what to do, the cadet turned around and walked back to the military truck.

.....

“Open that gate now! Unless you think you can bear the responsibility of delaying me during my mission.” Cain’s voice carried a narcissistic tone, similar to the one Zamir used with him when they first met.

The moment Cain got in the truck, Levi immediately commanded the military truck to move forward, forcing the squad’s leader to make a hasty decision, not giving him any time to call for a.s.sistance.

In the end, the squad leader did not dare to test the duo and commanded for the gate to be open, allowing the military truck to enter the city.

Levi immediately headed for the City Hall as soon as they entered the city. Places like Rouk City, with a population beneath ten million people, were ruled by a group of civil officers, with the mayor at the head.

Cain’s eyes narrowed as he saw the city and its people, most of whom were Wave Warriors but suffered from the same meridian atrophy as the soldiers at the gate. Still, he did not lose much thought and focused on the mission.

His lies might have easily fooled the soldier at the gates, but it would not be so easy with the mayor. Those civil officers might not have impressive battle power, but most of them were extremely cunning.

Levi glanced at Cain, and when he saw this one focusing, he chose to remain silent. While using Zamir’s name could end up blowing in their faces, there was nothing he could say since he failed to devise a better strategy.

In less than an hour, the duo arrived at the City Hall. It was a large pristine building, with people coming in and out.

After parking the military truck, Cain and Levi head into the building, drawing the attention of many people in their way. They did not speak with anyone and walked as if they owned the place.

Initially, the duo’s approach would have been much smoother, but they had adopted the facade of the arrogant scion and needed to stick to it if they wanted this to work.

Just as they were about to barge into the mayor’s office, a woman appeared in front of them. She was around twenty years old and had an attractive figure.

“Young Lord Zamir, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vina Serin. I welcome you to Rouk City. Had we known someone of your status would come to our humble city, we would have prepared a proper welcome.” Vina spoke pleasantly and stretched her body so Cain could get a better look before turning toward Levi.

“And who could this gentleman be?”

Cain was a healthy man and would certainly get aroused if an attractive woman got so close to him. However, compared with the drive Beelze generated when he first met her, this was nothing and could not cause an emotional outburst.

“That is not something someone like you should care about. We are going to speak to the mayor.”

Vina’s gaze changed for an instant as she saw the evident apathy of Cain. She hoped to distract the duo for a moment and stir the conversation away, but things had a rocky start.

“I am sorry, Mayor Clacius is currently in an important meeting and can not be disturbed. I can arrange some company for the two of you as you wait. I am sure the trip from the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy was boring, and you would want to have some fun.”

‘Another delay.’ Cain’s eyes grew cold as he saw the woman’s scheme.

“I was not asking permission.” Cain grabbed the woman’s shoulder and moved her out of his way before barging into the mayor’s office along with Levi.

As soon as the duo entered the office, their expressions grew solemn. There were already two people inside, one fat man sitting behind a desk, presumably the mayor, and another standing by his side.

It was the second man that made them nervous, and once Cain scanned him, he saw that he was a Level 4 Wave Warrior!

Cain took a deep breath and pushed his focus to its peak as he smiled.

‘Time to s.h.i.+ne.’
