Chapter 17: Success!
After returning to the city, Su Xiao went straight to the noble's villa.
In the study, an aristocrat was examining a tiger's teeth.
— He removed the tiger's teeth and looked pointedly at Su Xiao, " I didn't expect you to be able to do this. Although this tiger wasn't too strong, it was hiding on Mount Kolubo and was really difficult to hunt. You're better than your uncle, so you'll replace him in the future.
With just a few words, Su Xiao had already taken the position of a black market merchant.
It was obvious to him how cold-blooded this noble was. All the efforts of the past black market merchant were thrown back by this aristocrat just because of one mistake.
— I have completed my assignment and am ready to take up the position of head of the capital's guards, " Su Xiao said as he looked at the noble. Given the character of this old man, it wouldn't be surprising if he chose not to fulfill his promise.
— Head of the guard? What you're talking about, I never said... the noble's words ended abruptly, and his sly old eyes suddenly began to dim.
«A noble has broken the rules of the Reincarnation Paradise, and the process of forced correction has started ... " A cold voice sounded in Su Xiao's ears. For the first time, he heard the voice of "Paradise for Reincarnators».
It was a mechanical voice without any emotional fluctuations with a cold note.
The nobleman was silent for a very short time and soon continued: — Since you have fulfilled your end of the bargain, the position of head of the guard will belong to you. I'll go to the palace. In an hour, you will be the head of the capital's guards, " the noble's tone was stiff and strange, which made his guard a little puzzled.
Su Xiao watched the nobleman carefully.
Since the noble decided not to keep his promise, Su Xiao was immediately able to see the power of "Paradise».
Although the "Reincarnator Paradise" was very cold and didn't show any emotional fluctuations, it wasn't an unreliable place.
Cold, cruel, but fair — that was his impression of " Paradise».
In fact, Su Xiao had previously wanted to know what would happen if the noble decided not to give him the position of head of the guards, and now he saw the answer to his question — "Heaven" decided to control the noble and give him a reward.
As for what the noble would do in the future, it was difficult to say. Maybe he'll be able to recover after a while, or maybe he'll stay in this state forever?
Because of this incident, Su Xiao began to wonder if this pirate world was the real world or if it was a specially created world of "Paradise».
But if this was the world of 'Paradise', then a noble was equivalent to an NPC and simply wouldn't be able to break his promise.
But now, he clearly saw that this noble had tried to deceive him, however, "Heaven" intervened and corrected this misunderstanding, which made Su Xiao realize that at least everything he was dealing with was real.
The so-called "Derived World" could be created using people's fantasies and eventually become the real world.
After leaving the noble's residence, Su Xiao began to think about how he should have killed the king.
Although he was now a guard commander, this status wouldn't help him see the king, and even if he could see him, he wouldn't be able to kill him immediately.
There was always usually a heavy guard around any king.
If Su Xiao decided to break through the king's guard, 99 times out of 100, he would die.
And "Paradise" had previously warned him that if he died in this world, he would die completely. He won't get another chance.
It seemed that Su Xiao was in a difficult situation, but right now, he already had a lot more tools that he could use to kill the king.
If he wanted to kill the king, two things were most important. The first was breaking into the palace, which Su Xiao wasn't worried about.
The second point was that he would need to somehow distract the king's guards, which was the most difficult thing to do.
The king's guard will definitely be very strong.
So how can he get the king's guards away from him?
A strong enemy would appear in the palace, and that strong enemy would threaten the king's safety. If this suddenly appeared enemy is really strong, then the guards will decide to attack it first, so that their battle will not harm the king in any way.
And then Su Xiao can make a move.
As for the king's own strength, Su Xiao wasn't worried about it. The king could not be strong, because the difficulty of his main task was of the third level.
As for where he would be able to find a strong enemy that could threaten the king's life with its mere presence... burning a Gray Terminal.
And to carry out his plan, he will just need his new status as the "leader" of the guards..
Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa did not treat those who lived in the Gray Terminal as humans, it was not the nobles of the kingdom who would burn the garbage heaps, and certainly not the forces of the royal family.
The reason for this was very simple — it would discredit the image of the kingdom.
Consequently, the burning of garbage heaps will be carried out by some incomprehensible forces, and some pirates could easily fit the role of these "incomprehensible" forces..
Some of the large pirate groups in the nearby waters must have already received word that something very good could be obtained in the Goa Kingdom. For example, if they do everything in the best possible way, they will receive the status of nobles.
The status of a noble was a fatal temptation for many people, including pirates and even rich people.
Therefore, several pirate groups have already approached the waters near the Kingdom of Goa for this opportunity.
And tonight, the Kingdom of Goa will select a certain group from among these pirate groups and allow that group to burn down the Grey Terminal tomorrow night.
As for Su Xiao's role, as the leader of the capital's guards, he would most likely be responsible for contacting and negotiating with these pirates.
If he made good use of his new identity, he would definitely have a chance to kill the king.
According to Van Pease's plot, the king didn't intend to grant these pirates the status of nobles at all — he just wanted to use these pirates.
Thinking about this, Su Xiao returned to the Guards ' headquarters.
It was in complete chaos right now.
The guards who were standing guard at the entrance disappeared.
After entering the guards ' headquarters, Su Xiao saw more than a dozen men playing cards in the lobby, and a few men were even drinking...
The lobby smelled of low-quality tobacco, alcohol, and sweat...
Since they didn't have a boss right now, they started doing what they wanted, and although Su Xiao was going to be their boss soon, he had no intention of controlling them.
He just needed the position of guard leader, and as for the situation in the headquarters, it had nothing to do with him.
Su Xiao walked over to Oki's office and pushed open the door...
There were already three people in the office — two bosom buddies, Okie and Hank.
Hank was sitting on the couch, while Okie's two buddies were standing on either side of Okie's chair.
They kept glancing at each other, but neither of them dared to sit in his chair.
And Su Xiao's appearance surprised the three of them.
Hank didn't say anything, but two of Okie's bosom buddies immediately said — " This isn't a place you can come to, get out of here!
Su Xiao didn't even look at them and just sat down on Oki's chair.
— You bastard, this isn't a chair you can sit on so casually! Get out of here! Oki's friend Su Xiao said with an angry expression.
— You're both fired. I'll give you a minute to disappear, " Su Xiao didn't even look at them. He was still thinking about his plan. As for these two, he didn't even want to pay attention to them, as it would be a waste of time.
Oki's cronies first froze in amazement, then looked at Su Xiao like he was a fool.
But at that moment, the door to the office opened and a messenger entered with some documents in his hand.
— Mr. Byakuya, this is the notice of your appointment as head of the guard, and here is your identification document.
It took the nobleman a lot less time than he thought.
Oki's cronies were stunned and looked at Su Xiao with bewilderment.
— You two must leave, or you will never be able to leave on your own two feet again. " Su Xiao looked at Oki's two friends.
Hank, realizing what had just happened, jumped up from the couch and roared:
— Why are you up? Quickly come here and greet our new Boss!
Hank didn't really want to do something like this, but he wouldn't dare go against the kingdom's orders.
