Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 455

#455. Don’t offer me a deal.

* * *

United States of America.

The most powerful country in the world.

Of course, they fell into chaos because of the Spirit Corps, lost their place as the world’s leader because of Limon, and gave up the strongest position to the French army of sword fighting.

For thousands of years, the United States has not always been the most powerful country.

Instead, I have never been a weak country.

Considering the proverb that it is easy to achieve success, but difficult to maintain it, we could see the potential of the United States.

In that sense, the president of the United States had no choice but to be special among the heads of many countries in the world.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you like this, Madame President.”

“It won’t be that long.”

“Because I feel like things aren’t right for me to ask how you’ve been.”

“Indeed, then I’ll tell you that it’s been a while.”

However, Limon’s reaction to the president of the world’s most powerful country was tepid.

And the president also naturally accepted Limon’s attitude.

It was natural.

Because they weren’t first-timers.

It didn’t mean that we knew each other as the legendary sword master and the president of the United States.

It’s because I’ve met in a slightly more bizarre relationship in a more special place.

So, Limon asked directly.

“Why did you come to see me?”

“Of course, as the president of a country, it is to treat the honored guest, the swordsman, with respect.”

“Are you serious, other than talking on the surface?”

“If you leave it as it is, you might forcefully break through the captain’s wall, so there was an instruction from the princess to meet in advance and resolve it.”

“You must be busy with a side job while taking care of the country.”

“I’m just enjoying my little hobbies while serving the princess.”

“Is the president okay?”

“You should ask the people who voted for me.”

“Well, you are not wrong.”

Limon laughed.

Was it chosen by pouring money into it?

Whether it was using the background of the clan.

In any case, it was clear that the opponent was the president who was elected through a fair election according to the laws of the United States.

“So how are you going to stop me?”

A cowboy hat on his head.

Two rifles on the back.

Even wearing a light jacket.

A blonde beauty dressed in an unconventional outfit that is too casual for a president.

Limon narrowed his eyes as he saw the cowgirl who stood out among the rest of the Golden Dragon Clan behind Charlotte during the Seven Dragons Association.

“President Ellis.”

the president of the United States of America.

At the same time, Princess Gold Dragon’s aide.

Ellis looked directly at Limon and asked back.

“If I ask you to go back, will you come back?”

“no.”

“I understand that it is rare for you to meddle in matters that could be meddling in internal affairs.”

“Because, as you know, one of those rare exceptions is hunting down villains.”

“If you are going to do something like that in defiance of the law, then as the President of the United States of America, you have no choice but to take the appropriate action.”

Alice said coldly.

Either mobilize US troops to sabotage Limon.

Or use the government to pressure the Black Dragon clan any further.

No matter how special the position of president in the United States was, it was possible.

However, Limon didn’t even raise an eyebrow at Alice’s threats.

I just laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“Would you like to try it?”

“…You mean you have no intention of changing your mind.”

“They say that when you get old, you only get stubborn, right?”

For a moment, look at Limon, who answered shamelessly.

Finally, Alice nodded.

“If it comes out like that, I don’t have a choice either.”

I guess I knew it would be like this.

quietly open your mouth.

Elise stood up.

“As the President of the United States, I have done everything I can, so now I will do what I have to do as the Golden Dragon Clan.”

“Are you trying to stop me with force?”

“no. It means that I will invite you to a conversation partner more suited to your rank than I am.”

“hmm?”

When Limon narrows his eyes.

Alice pressed the button on the table.

Wei Ying.

Then, a small crystal popped out from the ceiling, and the moment the light fell from it penetrated the marble in the middle of the table.

The soft light that spread from the beads filled the video conference room.

A person appeared in an empty seat at the table.

An illusion with no presence or substance.

But it’s sophisticated enough to be fake.

Too beautiful to be real.

A blonde beauty who seemed to have come out of a dream.

* * *

Las Vegas.

Amazingly restored in one day.

Nonetheless, Charlotte was tapping the armrest with her fingers at Fafnir’s headquarters, where the scars of the terror were still evident.

Seruk.

finger is moving

every time you turn your gaze.

The hologram image floating in the air changed rapidly and processed various documents.

The speed of work processing was possible because it used EK’s state-of-the-art electronic document system, which even the Silver Dragon could not imitate.

The problem was that new documents were piling up beyond what was being processed.

It was natural.

Las Vegas is a mess.

Fafnir headquarters is attacked.

Now that even the secret bank has collapsed.

It was because there were so many things that Charlotte, the final manager, had to decide and handle.

However, she did not show any sign of exhaustion.

It seems that this is trivial.

I just lazily handled the paperwork.

Beep.

“Hmm?”

It was in the middle of it.

On one side of the hologram image, a text requesting image communication came to mind.

Seeing it for the first time, she made an interesting expression and snapped her fingers without hesitation.

right!

It was right after that.

The scene of the office where Charlotte was sitting changed and the video of the conference room came to mind as if overlapping it.

“I guess the story didn’t go well.”

“Sorry to disappoint you.”

“It happened. If you are my aide, you should have the arrogance of trying to negotiate with the swordsman.”

It’s just a video, not real.

He smiled for a while as he saw Alice standing behind him before he knew it.

turn your head slowly

Looking at the white-haired man.

Charlotte smiled languidly.

“I was going to call you anyway, but seeing that you came directly before I even contacted you, you’re really quick-witted swordsman.”

“You tried to call me?”

“Since we subdued the Liberation Brigade, shouldn’t we receive what we deserve?”

“…Does the situation seem bad enough to assert that the Liberation Brigade was subdued?”

“I’ll admit that the ending wasn’t neat.”

Charlotte did not deny Limon’s point.

Finding out the headquarters of the Liberation Brigade and subjugating them was itself. It was true that I fell for the conspiracy of those who were targeting Las Vegas.

“But it doesn’t matter.”

Even so, she showed no signs of timidity or remorse.

I just laughed out loud.

“Don’t you know that even if a few bugs escape, the outcome won’t change anyway?”

Where did the liberation brigade run away?

No matter how many who are left.

Yes, a mouse in my hand.

In the end, it’s only a matter of time before you deal with them.

Looking at Charlotte’s affirmation, Limon narrowed his eyes.

“So I’ll wait here in silence until the hunt is over?”

“You can stay in LA if you don’t want to interfere. If you wish, I will let you enjoy all entertainment to your heart’s content, starting with alcohol and delicacies.”

If Las Vegas had been fine, it would have made me enjoy the ultimate pleasure.

It’s just a pity that I can’t treat you properly because of this unfortunate incident.

Charlotte said languidly.

Limon narrowed his eyes.

“What if I must intervene?”

“Hmm, that’s a difficult story.”

It seems like you’re really worried.

Charlotte bangs her finger on the armrest of the chair.

“By force to stop you in this situation would also be a waste of use, and I can’t let you interfere.”

If the opponent had been someone else, he would not have hesitated to block it even by force.

She is the Golden Dragon Princess.

Because he was the strongest master of the Seven Dragons, with the strength and confidence to carry out his will no matter who his opponent was.

But Charlotte was no fool.

There was no way he didn’t know that fighting Limon would be a pointless loss and that only the Liberation Brigade would benefit from it.

So, after a long time of pondering,

Charlotte said languidly.

“I will propose a deal to you, Swordsman.”

“transaction?”

“Don’t meddle in this matter. If you do, I’ll make the compensation I deserved for destroying the Liberation Brigade worthless.”

the moment I heard that.

Limon fell silent.

It was because he had no idea that Charlotte would make such an outrageous proposal.

“Are you going to give up the chance to get a controlling stake in the Seven Dragons? At least to stop me from interfering?”

“It is better than to suffer the shame of losing an enemy who has defiled our territory.”

They say their ego is expensive.

With a declaration like a golden dragon princess.

Charlotte added a word with a haughty smile.

“Above all, even if I didn’t have a stake in the Seven Dragons, there was no way I wouldn’t be able to get you.”

“…Do I look like a coin that fell on the road?”

“Huh, can that be? To put it bluntly, you must be a treasured sword on top of a cliff.”

So, wouldn’t it be more valuable to climb the cliff and pull out the sword with your own hands?

Looking at Charlotte, who speaks vaguely.

Limon narrowed his eyes.

Because I understood that this was an ultimatum.

Making such an unconventional proposal itself was a huge concession for Charlotte. It must have been the last line of deterrence she could fall back on.

But what if I decline this offer?

Charlotte would no longer hesitate to use force.

For Limon, who did not want to cause a conflict with the Golden Dragon clan over this, he was cornered into an outlaw.

Still, he finally shook his head.

“The offer is unacceptable.”

Charlotte frowning on her beautiful army.

But before she even opens her mouth.

Limon added a word.

“I’ll offer you another deal instead.”

“Another deal… what do you mean?”

It’s like I want to hear it.

Limon asked quietly at Charlotte, who had an interesting expression on her face.

“Seeing you doing this with me, you guys couldn’t find the remnants of the Liberation Brigade, right?”

“I haven’t found it yet, but in the end it’s just a matter of time.”

“Yes, but the sooner you find them the better. Whether it’s to wash away the shame or reduce the damage.”

Due to the blockade of the Great Wall, the North American continent is currently in a state of complete suspension of overseas trade.

Considering the trade volume of the United States, which is one of the world’s leading, the longer the time, the greater the loss will be exponentially.

In the end, the damage will be borne by the Golden Dragon clan.

Because I know that fact all too well.

Limon suggested.

“Then hire me.”

“…what did you just say?”

“I’m asking you to entrust the pursuit of the Liberation Brigade to me so that I’ll cut down on the time you’ll waste.”

The best expert in catching the liberation brigade is himself.

However, accepting help from him will hurt your pride, so rather pay for it and hire it.

After saying that he would only help in the pursuit and would not lay a finger on catching the Liberation Brigade.

Limon ended his speech sullenly.

“You guys are ashamed to ask for help from others, but don’t you like spending money to pamper people?”

“In other words, do you mean to be my hunting dog?”

“Tell me politely that I am a guide. What is a hunting dog? A hunting dog. I feel bad for the listening employee.”

Maybe because it was so unexpected.

It’s been a while since I looked at Limon with strange eyes.

Charlotte chuckled.

“I can’t really call it a shame to hire a hound I bought with money to chase the game.”

“Are you going to accept it?”

“Hmm.”

This is the final compromise.

If you refuse here, I will accept the forced breakthrough.

Watching Limon change his position and threaten him, Charlotte tapped the armrest again.

Of course, this is just a change in form.

In reality, Limon is allowed to intervene, and of course, there is no guarantee that he will really just watch the Liberation Brigade after he finds it.

However, the justification and practical benefits suggested by Limon.

Above all, the temptation of being able to treat the Sword Master like a hunting dog was so attractive that even she could not bear it.

So after thinking about two options.

The greediest princess in the Seven Dragons finally made up her mind.
