Chapter 154: Chapter 31: High Tension
The moment I returned to myself, Alan and the surrounding men looked strange; normally, they should have been overjoyed that the dungeon gate was closed.
Instead, they look at him as some kind of criminal...
"Why do you all look so glum? That disgusting monster you were all feeding to keep yourself safe is dead." My words were harsh, and Alan scowled hatefully.
"You! Why did you close the dungeon!? You know Britannica relies on the income from ability users hunting!" Alan roared hatefully; however, Midori just stepped forward and slapped him across the face, her katana touching his crotch for an instant before a dull pop sounded; before anyone realised what had happened, his body flew across the sky and smashed into one of the destroyed homes.
"Ah... forgive me, my hand slipped. I thought he was a monster."
It was true that many countries had this idea... the dungeons that appeared were lucrative, some having minerals and ore so easily extractable that they would cause heavy damage to the world's ozone layer if they were to be collected outside the dungeon.
However, Alan was different; he relied on dungeon money to buy influence to allow him and his knights to effectively run the kingdom, ignoring the government due to their strength.
Alan soon crawled out of the rubble... glaring at Midori hatefully, he ordered everyone, "Kill them all! That dungeon was worth millions of pounds in gold, ore and mineral deposits! Who cares about Austrina and their demands? Kill those two sluts as well; they are just princesses of a forgotten age!"
The ability users that came with the two girls looked away with guilty looks, but their true orders were just that: get rid of the old family to allow their kingdom to undergo a revolution, throwing away the old-fashioned monarchy.
He looked towards his knights, filled with rage from the pain in his crotch and charged forward... Midori didn't move, nor did Milova or Anya...
I stepped forward; the moment they came closer, my muscles surged with energy, and I punched the first ability user before Alan and the others could show regret, their confident smiles due to the guy's skin transforming into stone, likely a defensive type ability user...
My punch shattered the guy's face...
Only able to watch in silence... Alan saw his comrade's head explode like a watermelon from my punch... Midori sighed and drew her blade, "Men, I suggest you stand down; otherwise, you will die. Alan, there is no need to take this further; if you lose more ability users, your entire kingdom will be at stake, but ours, even if I and I don't exist, there are more than twenty others to protect it."
Alan trembled... watching Midori threaten him, his face turning pale...
He knew he couldn't win; if they fought and he lost many more of his knights, there would be difficulty managing the dungeons, and like before, if suddenly one of the monsters they were feeding evolved into something like that turtle, he would be fucked.
In reality, I was very nervous... Although I could take swords and cold weapons, there had never been an orc who used a shotgun, so there was no idea how much damage those weapons might or might not do to my body.
I think that's why Midori used verbal threats.
Alan gritted his teeth hatefully... looking at Midori, who held her katana lazily, the tip scratching the ground as she yawned and looked bored; he stomped his foot, turning away, "Everyone, pack up your shit and return home!" His voice filled with anger, limping towards their cars before he whispered something... A threat towards Midori.
"This isn't over, you ugly Asian bitch." I don't know if Midori chose to ignore it or couldn't hear... but my ears twitched, still fluffy like a wolf due to using my werewolf form in the past hour.
"Rai?"
There was a call from Midori; she probably wanted me to stop... however, my hips twisted as I threw all the power in my body into a violent roundhouse kick aimed at his head... the kick tore through the sky with a devilish howl before he could even respond it had smashed into him.
Alan spun like a ragdoll; his head was gone... splattered into a thousand pieces, the sound causing Midori to stand in shock, her mouth opening wide, before she playfully sighed, shaking her head with a smile.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Mister Shibuya, you shouldn't kill people without my permission." Midori scolded me; Milova and Anya looked confused, whispering to themselves in Austrinian before Midori translated for me.
"They asked why I am scolding you... He insulted my country and me, and most importantly... He threatened your life in front of you... and that kick was so cool. " Midori giggled, acting all coy; however, Milova coughed awkwardly...
The knights were just as shocked; the second in command was a lovely blonde woman whose mouth opened and closed like a fish. I stepped towards her as their guns and weapons all pointed at me.
I just shrugged my shoulders and tried to show confidence that made them feel inferior.
"Miss blond Britannican with huge tits, that garbage was asking for it by threatening my wife; I hope there will be no complications in our flights back to Asia; also, add the two Austrinian girls to our flight, and I give my word. If your little island needs help again, we will still send aid and not ignore it."
She wasn't stupid. Instead, her eyes looked at me like a hawk; this woman made me feel something akin to a threat.
Those intelligent eyes and her ability to keep her distance from me without seeming to reject my advance and offer. Then I realised there were probably many talented people in this kingdom, but Alan and his goons were limiting them.
"How can I take an aggressive stand against the man that stopped not one but two dungeon gates? Yes, their income is huge, but the lost life is far more important to the knights. I apologise for my colleague's lack of brains." Her voice was nice on the ears in a soft but firm tone with a nice mid-range melody.
Milova and Anya looked shocked at the knight lady, bowing towards her with respect, and Midori just smirked and turned to walk towards our jeep...
I followed, realising the knights wouldn't attack us now.
The tensions might be high, but that was for the people who came after to fix; I was just here to help Midori and when looking at her face from the corner of my eye... The fact I came was a damn good thing.
"Thank you, Rai..." Midori's voice was neither overly passionate with joy nor filled with blame. It was like she wanted to be, but there were hidden worries in her heart.
I believe that she feared the outcome of when we left that the knights might have a negative opinion towards us. Yet, she underestimated my simple actions of removing Alan, who was hindering their development...
"Hmmn, thank you? What for? For sex? For killing monsters? For following you halfway across the world to fight a turtle? Or crushing a stalker that planned to seal you somewhere dark, never able to leave or escape so he and his goons could 'birth more ability users' using your high-class body?"
Somehow, although I didn't want to, there was a feeling of bitterness in my mood. I believed Midori was strong enough to deal with Alan and his goons, but if she failed, that thought made me feel angry, unable to control the yoma now with a blood-red tint flowing through my veins...
Midori noticed my strange look; in the mirror, I could see they were bloodshot and glowing golden instead of my usual colour, but she was driving and could only step on the accelerator, so we reached the airport sooner.
Finally, Midori parked the jeep and grabbed my hand; her warm body heat calmed me down, bringing my mind back to sanity. "Rai!" Her eyes were filled with worry, while both my hearts were filled with vengeance and anger, wanting this entire kingdom to burn... all because of a possible worry in the future.
Midori hugged me tightly... kissing my forehead and then my lips deeply; the feeling of her soft body, the taste of her lips and affection slowly brought me back to normal, my eyes returning to normal as my heartbeat slowed, the taste of her lips and smell of her body causing me to feel a sense of clarity.
She saw my recovery, it seemed, and smiled gently at me, leaning to my ear and whispering, "Thank you for being there to protect me, even from the tiniest issues... Thank you for caring about me... I'm sorry I worried you."
My emotions calmed down... realising I was a little stupid, I grinned playfully, "Hmmn, Midori, next time, we go on holiday, choose a private beach where I can fuck you all day, not some rainy, miserable place filled with men, that just want to cause trouble."
As she approached to kiss me again, there was the sound of two throats clearing and Anya and Milova looked at us with a wry smile, "Well... can we get in on that holiday too? It seems we didn't get the chance this time?" Milova teased Midori, who rolled her eyes...
"Fine... fine... but behave yourselves; I get jealous and protective."
Anya and Milova giggled playfully, exiting the car and skipping towards the private jet. I looked confused at Midori, "You understand Austrinia? What did they say?"
Suddenly, she hopped out of the car with a strange smile. It was much more natural and smooth, her lips curling with her eyes drooping and forming crescent moons before she skipped to my side and muttered through the window.
"They asked if they could fuck you next time, hahaha!"
I was stunned for a moment, almost unable to speak, watching her as she rushed off... my hand opened the door with a loud click as I chased the trio, unaware that I had taken another significant step towards the unknown.
Meanwhile, I enjoyed the company of these two women. I had no idea yet that an unknown and powerful enemy attacked the planet of Flora...
Nor that they had already fled to this world with the help of Eternia and Aki.
