Chapter 910 Reinforcement
?
'It seems this wasn't a total waste of time, after all.' Kuzon stared at his two new pawns.
He could easily plant them in the Midas Empire and use then for his ends.
A sly smile formed on his face the more he thought of the prospects
There was one problem, though.
'The Midas Empire's suspicion. So far, I've slaughtered all my enemies. The mere fact that I spared these two is—'
Before he could complete his thoughts, Kuzon's eyes widened in mild shock. It was most likely due to the occurrence that his senses picked up.
"Hehe... so that's it." A slight chuckle escaped his lips.
'And here I was worried about what excuse I would have to utilize in sparing them so my actions don't seem too suspicious.'
His eyes darted behind him, and then all around his immediate surroundings.
'It seems I don't have to worry about that anymore.' He could already feel the distortions in space, and golden lights began to appear all about the expanse.
'They're here!'

[Moments Earlier]
Gloria Midas was furious.
She had just returned from her patrol and rigorous search for the mysterious man, who had just been sighted at the North Pole.
She thought she would be able to get some clues, but everything seemed like a waste of time.
He cleaned up his tracks well—almost to the point that it seemed he was never even there at all.
It frustrated her to no end.
'We are doing our best, pouring our utmost attention to catch this bastard, and yet... yet...' Gritting her teeth, she returned to Headquarters.
She had to submit her reports to the Management Officer, and then ask for any updated information concerning their second headache.
'The Midas Slaughterer.'
Thinking about the person, or group, that killed their Midas Inquisition Division 15, and also her younger brother, caused her ruined mood to plummet even further into sheer rage.
Yet, Gloria controlled herself.
Yes... she was the First Princess for a reason. Her dignity and poise had to be well proportionate to her strength.
As a symbol for all the Midas maidens, and also for her younger ones. She had to remain calm no matter what.
****
"WHHAAAAAAAATTTTT?!" Gloria's voice echoed like a roaring trumpet in the Observational Chamber within HQ.
Her bloodshot eyes abd gritting teeth showed her current state of fury, and any second it seemed the cup would overflow.
"Why did you allow those two to go? I told you to inform me! I said he was my prey!"
The man in charge of the Observational Consul #B35 pleaded with her, of course. As a member of the lower strata of Midas Nobility, what chance did he stand against the most powerful woman in their Empire.
Unfortunately for him... he had caught her in a bad mood.
>SQUELCH<
Just by the tightening of her fist, the man's head squeezed like a piece of mold, spurting out blood out of his twisted nose and ears.
Needless to say, he died on the spot.
Killing a Midas was illegal—a crime worse than death. However, there was only one group exempt from this rule.
The Royals.
As a result, Gloria could kill pretty much anyone that pissed her off.
Except, of course, Royals.
"Someone should come clean this mess! Also prepare the Teleportation Chamber. I'm going to the branded to the location!" Her roar echoed across the entire Observation Chamber, causing all the remaining staff to scramble.
Her instruction was of utmost pertinence.
"What of your backup First Princess? Your subordinates are not yet here, and—"
"I can go alone!" She fumed, making her way to the Teleportation Chamber—a white hall that had a vast expanse within.
"Create multiple portals to confuse the enemy. I'll face him alone and drag him here with my own two hands!"
As crude as they sounded, everyone knew just how much strength was backed into those words. Nobody dared question her decision.
"U-understood!"
And so, they shot the Teleportation Beam which took her straight to her destination.
... Bringing us back to the present.

>WHOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHH<
In a flash, almost like a blur, Gloria leapt from the position she appeared from and instantly dashed in the direction of the only stranger that she could see.
He was standing right in front of her kneeling siblings, and a somewhat disgusting smile was on his face.
'BASTAAARRRRRDDDD!!!"
She poured intense, pure energy into her fist and targeted his position as she carried her body to him.
And then—
>BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<
The ground erupted, sending large chunks of debris flying everywhere.
The trees that surrounded that area were instantly flattened, and more vibrations coursed through the large clearing in the forest.
Despite all that, though, it seemed the malefactor escaped her attack.
"Tch!"
He now stood beside a large golden wolf, having a female partner riding it.
'So they were two, after all.' Gloria gritted her teeth as she narrowed her gaze on them. 'I'll kill them!'
Of course, she knew she couldn't actually kill them. Their punishments were far steeper than than that.
Still, she was going to make them wish she had done them the pleasure of ending their lives.
'And that bastard... he's impersonating a Midas Royal?! How dare he!'
Gloria felt she might explode from pure rage. She was currently standing in front of her siblings, but her back was turned to them. She had to face the malefactor while protecting them from any further attack he was about to render on them.
"B-big sis...?" She heard their voices utter.
They sounded so sleepy and weak. Just what did the imbecile before her do to them?
"What is your current condition? Can you still stand?" She asked, not sparing them a single glance despite the concern on her face.
'It would be foolish to take my eyes away from the enemy. For now, I can only ask of their wellbeing.'
"... C-can't."
"S-sorry, big sis..."
Just how badly did this young man and his partner injure them?
"Haa... I see." Gloria's eyes lit up in fiery determination as her body instantly manifested golden light.
"You should rest. Leave the rest to me!"
