I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1062 The Messenger

“What?” I nodded and urged her to speak.

“I got something that needs your attention first… A messenger came not long ago.”

“A messenger?” my eyes shone brightly, “don’t tell me… Is it from Berry?”

“You guessed it?!!” a look of surprise appeared on her face. This Loran… She might be a genius lady in planning and such. Yet she still has a fragile state of mind.

Couldn’t she even guess it on her own?

I went all out, devastated Berry’s army, and made such a miraculous move of getting those Reapers to my side.

Wasn’t all this enough to drive the attention of that brutal lord? If I was her, I’d send out envoys and spies, together in the same carriage.

As I kept my calm and silence, only looking without speaking at her, she regained her composure fast before adding after clearing her throat:

“A single person came, and he is waiting for you over there.”

She pointed in one direction, and there was a single peak there. It wasn’t a grand mountain, yet it was enough to be called a mountain.

“Just a single one? No one else?” I asked in doubt. Why didn’t she send the large company over? Wasn’t she that interested in getting information about me or what?

Sending large people over as messengers would make it easy for her spies to infiltrate my forces and collect various information.

For example, what was my origin? How was my real strength? My forces, nature and types? There were just tons of missing data about me.

And yet she only sent just one person? Don’t tell me she got her hands full at other fronts, and she just sought out temporary peace to stabilise this region?

No way I’d let that happen! I wanted to get more of those evolved soulers. If I agreed, wasn’t that like digging my own grave with my own hands?

If I gave her the peace she desired, she’d come at me later on after taking care of the other fronts. It was like giving her advantage while stripping me naked out of it!

“I also found it strange, especially when that person cladded in heavy black clothes and covered up himself tightly with a black cape and mask refused to stay any single moment here,” Loran seemed also to read the matter just like I did, frowning over the same points as myself.

“So he decided to go over there and wait for me?”

“Yes, it was per his request and… Persistence.”

“Fine,” I could notice how hard it was to deal with such a stubborn person. Sending such a person to make negotiations wasn’t the right choice indeed.

In such situations, one had to send someone able to trick the other party and knew how to endure insults.

For me, it was better to send Lang other than Loran for example if I ever wanted to negotiate with someone.

This might be considered a bad sign if I wanted to end this on good terms with her. But having such a hard to deal with envoy was good news to me.

Like this I’d drive this man crazy and make him end up starting a brutal war instead of just buying time for his lord.

“I’ll go there and meet that man then,” I turned to the two, “start your preparations to move. Don’t wait until I return and start heading back to my land.”

“Won’t you need me? Us? Any of our forces?”

“Come on!” I rolled my eyes when Loran said that, “he dared to come alone and waited all this time on the side. He isn’t that fool to try anything at me. And I’m not that weak either.”

I shook my head while saying these words, “besides, it’s not good for my image as an overlord. I have to show the same quality of courage and self confidence to the other party, at least on the same level as him. Go now, it will take a long time before you are ready to move out.”

I waved at the two to move, blocking the path over Lucas who seemed to stand on the same side as Loran.

The two seemed a bit worried over me. But they had to know it’d take more than a single man to take me down.

Even an entire army wouldn’t be enough.

As the two reluctantly left, I moved my chariot towards the direction they pointed towards.

Until I saw the single black big tent that was erected on one elevated side of this small mountain I couldn’t believe there was just a single person sent here by Berry.

I still held doubts about her real intentions. She might have sent one, but might also have sent lots more sneakily to infiltrate my army and gather intel.

But when I saw the single silhouette covered all in black standing in front of the black tent, I knew this wasn’t a lie.

And when I noticed the calm gaze coming from this fellow down below, I knew he was expecting me.

Ok dude, let’s get done with this meeting. I still had land to build, armies to organise, and then battles with your lady to settle.

“Hi there, I believe you are the one called Hao, right?” Just before I’d landed beside him, this dude spoke in such a high tone, making my pupils constrict.

He was daring and rude, indeed.

“As you know my name, isn’t it a bit rude for you to not announce yours first?” I reneged on the idea of landing my chariot next to him.

I could already smell the scent of fire powder even without the need for me to come down.

“I hold all the capital to speak in such a way, if you aren’t satisfied with my attitude just now.”

“I’m not satisfied indeed.”

This dude was already getting on my nerves. What the heck with such an attitude and such tone? Who was the lord and who was the messenger.
