Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 529 - 293: Weapon Master, Sincerity of the Giant Demon Tribe - Part 2

Chapter 529: Chapter 293: Weapon Master, Sincerity of the Giant Demon Tribe - Part 2

But... he didn’t exactly dislike the feeling either.

Perhaps it was the guilt hidden in his heart.

After all, this time things had shifted subtly between him and the Black Swan, and he couldn’t quite claim to be innocent anymore.

The change in his relationship with the Black Swan also affected things with the Little Swan.

Since they had the same face, Louis always found himself slightly out of sorts seeing the Little Swan now.

He inexplicably recalled that enchanting night, those white arms wrapped in silk, that body, finally...

Stop, stop, Louis, what are you thinking, are you not worried about the outbreak of the Great Sin of Lust?

The Little Swan looked at him with an odd expression, as if saying, "What’s gotten into you?" Louis cleared his throat and said:

"Did you help me keep the visiting invitations safe?"

The Little Swan replied nonchalantly, "Sister Lumi was instructed to take care of it long ago. By the way, aren’t you considering finding a deputy for yourself?"

Louis said, "There aren’t many people I trust enough to become my deputy."

He also wanted a bit of leisure, but Louis harbored too many secrets and was not like those traditional aristocrats who had a stable team after years of networking in the noble community.

The Little Swan sighed, "True, I forgot about your situation."

Generally, senior aristocrats have lower-tier nobles they collaborate with long-term; it’s mutually beneficial, with the families of the lower-tier nobles often residing on the superior’s domain.

Though usually, they wouldn’t harm the families of the lower-tier nobles, means to guard against the opposite side were never lacking.

For those who launched rebellions or established new nations, they’d at least have followers who ventured and battled with them from the ground up.

These followers naturally served as their deputies, and if they were untrustworthy, they generally couldn’t overthrow the previous regime.

Only Louis was a bit of an outlier.

From the moment he joined Beatrice’s faction, he gained enormous trust.

Typically, if a Prince of the Empire wanted to cultivate connections within the noble circle, using Beatrice’s people would suffice.

Starting from scratch and cooperating with the noble circle, while holding their leverage, was also an option.

But Olivia deeply understood that Louis, in dealing with various crises, had forsaken the opportunity to cultivate connections within the noble circle.

And later on, his progress was so rapid that he completely surpassed the conventional noble circle, making it even more difficult to reintegrate.

He didn’t have the time and energy to focus on this, as the Mayer Commerce Association had spread his efforts too thin.

"Let’s talk about a deputy later. I might have to operate as Caesar for a while longer."

"Once the matters at the Giant Plain settle down completely, we might have to go to the Lokeshi Empire to discuss some things with the Guardian Stone Family."

The Little Swan pouted and said, "I don’t want to go to the Lokeshi Empire."

Louis said blandly, "It’s fine, Beatrice will be accompanying me, it’s a trip we’ve had planned for a long time."

The Little Swan widened her eyes and said angrily, "You guys are planning to leave me behind again!"

Louis chuckled, "I gave you a heads-up before, but someone didn’t want to go, what can I do, I can’t force her, can I?"

The Little Swan wasn’t happy, "If you’re not going, then you’re not going, what’s so fun, I’ll find Alice."

"Sorry, Alice is also going, and she’s going in the capacity of the leader of the Moonlight Cat Cat Group."

The Little Swan’s jaw dropped, saying dryly, "No, not even Grace..."

"Grace... I haven’t asked her, but the next stop in her saintess training is Lokeshi, a land without the worship of any deity, she’ll likely be quite busy there."

The Little Swan sobbed, "Do I still have a chance to change my mind?"

Louis leaned forward slightly, his face close to hers, "Whether you go or not is up to you. Without you, I’d be lonely too."

The Little Swan blushed slightly and finally murmured a soft "Mm."

Louis’s nose twitched slightly, and the Little Swan’s expression changed again, pushing him away:

"What are you doing! Coveting my beautiful body?"

Louis snorted and said, "All dried up, what’s there to look forward to."

But he muttered inside: "Well, not that extreme, at least previously..."

No!

He felt his filthy thoughts increasing, but now he was truly following his heart.

The Little Swan blushed crimson, "Where dried up, where dried up!"

Her soft little fist thumped Louis’ body, Louis’s face changed slightly: "Don’t use magic to enhance your physique when getting physical!"

The Little Swan paused for a moment, then took a breath.

Typically, after some horseplay, Louis finally started addressing the accumulated work before him.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems there are quite a few people watching me."

The list submitted by the Little Swan recorded the intelligence circulating in various countries that the Mayer Commerce Association investigated recently.

No surprise, the Curse Binding Legion created jointly by the Great Sin of Wrath and the New Book of the Dead shook the world.

Previously, if the backing of the Mayer Commerce Association was two legendary dragons and the Ense Royal Family lurking in the background, now some believed the Mayer Commerce Association could break away completely and become a violent force.

What kind of concept is a legion capable of annihilating demigod evil creatures? To put it bluntly, if Mr. Mayer wasn’t willing to release the Curse Binding Legion, the military power he now wielded was enough to rank among the T1-level forces.

Beyond that would only be those major countries representing the strongest powers of various races.

It made sense.

Whether it was the Giant Troll Suicide Squad or the Knight Suicide Squad sent over from Tunisia, they were quite formidable forces.

Especially after being enhanced by the Great Sin of Wrath, gaining immortality, they could completely hold their own against any top-tier legion of a country.

Throughout history, there were legions stronger than his, the most recent one being the Iron Guard Army of the Emperor.

But the Iron Guard Army was almost wiped out, and in the current active legions, this legion was the top combat force.

"You’re really outrageous, not even a legend, yet you possess legendary power, and have a Curse Binding Legion led by a demigod."

Louis giggled, "I said before, if anything happens to Beatrice and you, I would ignite the world with war."

The Little Swan pushed him, "Why curse me and Sister Wang!"

Louis said indifferently, "You think I’m cursing? I’m talking reality."

"I am different from the great royal families, you are born with the duty to guard the spatial channels."

"But to me, guarding spatial channels is incidental; you all are the most important."

For someone who was lonely and drifting in a foreign land, without the few people he had ties with, his anchor points would be gone.

I really would burn the world with war, seemed like a nice choice.

The Little Swan was startled by his calm tone; she knew Louis wasn’t joking.

She replied timidly, "Alright, I get it, I’ll try to keep myself safe, for the safety of our world."

Louis raised his head, "Did the Chairman of the Noble Council send us an invitation?"

The Little Swan pulled out a delicate envelope from the tray Lumi was holding and handed it over:

"Here, a handwritten letter from the Chairman of the Noble Council."

Louis took it and said, "They probably want to ask about their knights being transformed into the Curse Binding Legion."

The Little Swan curiously asked, "What if they hope for the knights to return to their roots?"

Louis said placidly, "Then we’ll satisfy them."

The Little Swan gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, generous enough."

After all, it was still a quality Extraordinary Knight Order, to let go easily, such generosity the Little Swan admitted she couldn’t muster.

Louis shook his head, "In fact, I’m scared too, excessive greed could intensify the power of the Great Sin."

"Rather than letting my power become uncontrollable, it’s better to let go peacefully."

The Little Swan nodded.

That was indeed a viable choice.

However, the next second, Louis smiled slightly and said:

"Besides, I’m already greedy enough."

The Little Swan froze for a moment, then said nervously, "Wait a minute, do you mean to say..." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Hmm? Your brain is working fast today, the Grand Chief has already decided to have the Giant Troll Suicide Squad and himself be controlled by me in the form of the Curse Binding Legion."

"Hiss... the Giant Demon Tribe has no objections?"

Louis said hauntingly, "To reasonably clean up maladies without paying a price, how could such a good thing exist."
