I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 860: Reunion

"So, you want me to create a similar organization? Are you sure I am a good candidate for this kind of work?" asked Angus in disbelief.

Not to mention King Leon, even Angus himself will not believe he will be impartial while doing his job. As a human, he also has his greed and selfishness.

"It doesn't matter if you are impartial as long as you don't cross the line. Besides, you are the best candidate. Your current strength is on par with our Duke/Duchess. No one dares to mess with you. You also have no interest in our politics."

"At least, you will be impartial when dealing with noble families that have no relationship with you. This is already good enough." said King Leon.

"Urgh… Can't you choose someone else?! How about Duchess Amberblaze or my dad?" asked Angus.

"Lia is in no position to handle such a responsibility. Although her current hidden Duchess position makes her rarely appear in public, she still needs to patrol around the border with her Flash Squad."

"I also don't want her to involve her with our noble vicious politics anymore. She had already sacrificed too much for the kingdom. I prefer that she stays as a Crimson Flash hero in everyone's heart." explained King Leon.

"As for your father, you should know he is busier than the other Duke/Duchess. He may not even attend the knight competition." added King Leon.

"True… I hear Dad has not come home since the new year. Mom complained a lot about it." chimed Angus.

"Then, how about the other Duke or Uncle Jade maybe." said Angus.

"You are joking, right?" replied King Leon while looking at Angus as if he was an idiot.

"Err… Yeah. They are even impossible candidate." said Angus.

To supervise the noble family, they not only have at least sixth-grade strength and impartiality but also couldn't make too much of a wave in politics. As a seventh grade, Jade is second to King Leon when it comes to affecting the political circle.

If he becomes the supervisor, many nobles will gather around Jade or try to use him as a spear against King Leon. Then, It will not be long before another civil war erupted between Jade and King Leon. This is something that King Leon and Jade don't want to see.

As for the other Duke or Duchess, they are already involved too deeply within their own political circle. Most of the Duke/Duchess already created their faction.

If King Leon is not sitting on the throne, they may even create their kingdom in their territory. They could no longer be impartial like Angus. Giving them such a position is like giving a poisonous snake wing to turn into a dragon.

Hearing such a reason, Angus also agreed with King Leon. He knows he has little interest in politics as long as it does not involve his family or loved ones. With his current strength and position, no one dares to mess with him.

The Victory family's position is also stable enough under the Royal family. They no longer need to expand or intend to increase their authority. The Victory family just wants to develop their current territory peacefully.

Combined with all his previous records, King Leon believes Angus will be a good leader in supervising the noble families. Moreover, King Leon knows Angus hates troublesome tasks. He will not just purge any noble families and create trouble everywhere.

Still, King Leon knows that, with his current trouble-magnet trait, Angus may kill one or two nobles who offend him. This is also in King Leon's consideration as long as he didn't kill the noble family.

Killing a few nobles and killing the whole family is a different matter. One is just murdering a few leeches, the other is the destruction of an entire noble family inheritance.

Any noble family has some influence, be it some ancient knowledge, accumulated wealth, vast networking, or various useful heritage. Losing this kind of heritage will weaken the Heart Kingdom.

Even the previous Guardian didn't dare to purge noble families discriminately. The last destruction of the Gonzalet noble family is the first time a high-ranking noble family gets purged.

"How about my subordinate?" asked Angus.

"Count Flamewaver and his squad will help you. However, you will make decisions and take responsibility for them," said King Leon.

"*Sigh* I will think about it." said Angus before leaving the office.

Recalling the conversation with King Leon, Angus couldn't help but release a deep sigh. He never wanted to get involved in the Heart Kingdom's political circle.

All he wants is to enjoy his peaceful life with Jayna and Anna and do some research once in a while. Unfortunately, he knows this is impossible. Although he already has enough strength to protect himself and his loved one, he knows he can't ignore the world and the kingdom.

Sooner or later, he will be forced to get involved with the kingdom's politics just because of his presence.

'*Sigh* It seems I couldn't just be holed up inside the research facility. Well, it is already impossible with Anna by our side.' thought Angus inwardly.

After another hour of debate, the team battle list is finally finalized. Angus immediately covered in flame and disappeared from the spot [Flame Blink].

Seeing Angus using such a similar skill with His Majesty, all the old veterans were convinced of their previous decision to gain favors with this young baron. Some even already regard him as the successor of King Leon.

In the meantime, a mysterious hooded man walks leisurely inside the capital city. Despite his hideous and conspicuous appearance, no one paid attention to him. Even the guards seem not to notice the man.

People with hideous attire are not rare in the capital city. However, all of them always attracted the guards or the extermination squad. Yet, no one seems to notice him, as if he does not exist.

While walking around, the hideous man crashes with another passerby. The mysterious man ignored the person and kept walking. Just as the passerby wanted to call the person and get angry, he suddenly clutched his chest in pain before slumping on the ground.

In a few seconds, the passerby already turned into a corpse without life. On the other hand, the hideous man keeps walking while being ignored by everyone.

"*Sigh* I should have never volunteered myself before. Those ungrateful bastards keep giving me more jobs nonstop. Which part don't they understand about retirement?" grumbled the hideous person.

"Then, you should just say no to them. It is not good being a pushover." said Angus, who suddenly appeared behind the hideous person.

"Ooohh… Now, this is interesting." said the hideous person.

The hideous person put down his hood and revealed his wolf-beastman appearance.

"Good to see you again, wolf beastman Atonas." replied Angus.

Atonas is a wolf beastman who worked under Merra during the Undermine Council incident. Angus noticed that this mysterious wolf beastman seemed to clash with the monster-minded people.

Moreover, this wolf beastman even toying with those monstrous people. Such a person arouses Angus' vigilance.

"Huhuhu… As I thought, you notice me. No wonder, those ungrateful bastards begged me to take this job." said Atonas.

"What is your purpose for coming here?" asked Angus coldly.

"Hmm… Let's say it is a business matter." replied Atonas casually.

*SWISH* Suddenly, Angus attacks Atonas decisively with his hand. Before his hand touches Atonas, Angus feels like touching nothing but air as the wolf beastman disappears from his spot.

"How rude… Is this the famous aristocrat's greeting for the law-abiding commoner?" said Atonas mockingly.

'Space skill? No, he moves very fast. It is so fast that even Chief Might looks like a turtle. No wonder, he could 'play' with those monstrous people.' thought Angus inwardly as he [Analyze] Atonas' movement.

"I am sorry. But, the capital city is not welcoming you at this moment." said Angus before releasing a series of [Fire Missile]

"Ohh.. Come on." said Atonas as he dodged again.

*BLINK* *BAM* Just as Atonas appeared in another place, a burst erupted near him as a fiery kick hit his face. At the last moment, Atonas manages to guard his head using his hands but still forces back a few meters away.

"Kukukuku… Now, that was a surprise!! I knew it would be exciting." said Atonas with a big smile.

Atonas once again disappears from the spot.

"Throat" a bone chilling whisper heard in Angus' ear.

*BANG* A moment later, Angus feels like being hit by something sharp. Fortunately, he managed to guard his neck with his hands on time. Otherwise, he will become headless. On the other hand, he feels a little bit of sting on his hand as the long red mark has already healed.

"Kukuku… Careful. Careful. Don't spoil the fun yet." said Atonas while playing with two sickles in his hand.

Seeing the previous counterattack, Angus took a battle stance. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned colder and silent. It was as if something was pressing on the whole area.

"This is going to be fun." said Atonas while licking his wolf mouth.
