Hail the King

Fei appeared in the Administrative Center of Chambord right after he came into the city.

The officials in the six departments and the ministers’ offices were busy.

Fei found his father-in-law, Bast, in the Head Minister Office, and they chatted for more than an hour.

After Fei left, all the officials in the Administrative Center were summoned for an urgent meeting by the Head Minister, and it lasted more than four hours.

After that, the officials got even busier.

Fei’s next stop was the [City of Heroes] that was in the underground cave at the Back Mountain of Chambord; he didn’t take a break.

According to the schedule, Fei appeared in Chambord’s Civil and Military University as the Principal, and he taught the third class to the students. Since time was urgent, this class only lasted about one hour.

The biggest classroom in the school was packed. Even the masters from the military came here ahead of time and stood in the back of the classroom and in the hallway to listen to Fei’s lecture.

After that, Fei gave a mission to one of the professors who was in charge that day and left the school.

Then, he went to the Military Headquarters of Chambord which was located on the higher levels in the [City of Heroes].

Inside the No.1 Meeting Room of the Military Headquarters, Fei hosted the first formal military meeting.

Currently, it could be said that Chambord had many talented generals and fierce warriors. There were more than ten Moon-Class Elites, and the most capable military geniuses included Brook and Old Aryang. The latter had a mysterious background, and his military knowledge and experience were on another level. Although they had never competed directly, Fei felt like Old Aryang’s military abilities and knowledge were on par with Crown Prince Arshavin’s.

This meeting lasted exactly four hours

Fei brought up all his concerns regarding the defense of the Kingdom if he weren’t present, and he also vaguely mentioned all of his trump cards.

He only left the meeting room reassured after he got perfect answers and was sure that the Chambord Kingdom could react fast and not be conquered quickly even if powerful enemies suddenly attacked.

After Fei left, the meeting continued with Old Aryang and Brook hosting it.

…

Like always, Fei put on his disguise and wandered around the well-lit city with Husky, that dark-skinned and dull guard of his.

Before he left, Fei wanted to really enjoy the atmosphere of the city that was renovated under his plan. This was the rare calm and peaceful moment that he could have.

As the refreshing nightly breeze blew by, Fei suddenly relaxed, and his mood brightened after a busy day. At the same time, he was getting a little hungry.

Subconsciously, they wandered to the storefront of the Soros’ Merchant Group.

“Your Majesty, do you want to go in and relax for a bit?” Husky thought of something and suggested hesitantly.

Fei didn’t notice the expression of his dull and straightforward guard since the figure of the brilliant and capable Jessica appeared in his mind.

A sense of relief sieged his mind, yet he didn’t even detect it.

After he thought for a bit, he smiled and nodded, saying, “Eh, we should. Let’s go inside.”

Jessica was an old friend of his ever since he met her at Dual-Flags City.

After the war, both Jessica and Husky came back to Chambord with him. Even though Husky was Jessica’s brother, he stayed by Fei’s side diligently as a guard and acted according to the rules, so he didn’t have a lot of time to go and visit his sister.

As a single lady, it was probably tough for Jessica to live in this city that was new to her.

Fei hadn’t been here for a long time, so it was only natural for him to go and visit this girl before he went on his long journey.

It was evening right now, so it should be the busiest time for Soros’ Merchant Group’s clothing and armor store.

However, Fei and Husky walked in and discovered that there wasn’t a single customer in the store at this time; it was surprising.

Right now, only about six workers were in the giant hall, and they were gathered together and murmuring to each other with strange expressions on their faces. As they looked upstairs, they seemed a little worried. Also, they were so distracted that they didn’t even come up and greet Fei and Husky when they walked in. The atmosphere is really strange.

Fei slightly frowned.

“Ah, you are finally here…” A smart worker saw Husky who looked like a black tower, and his eyes lit up. He instantly rushed forward and called out at Husky as if he saw a savior.

Although Husky only came here a few times, he was quite famous in the city since he was one of the most trusted guards of the king, and the employees in this store who worked for Soros’ Merchant Group all knew who he was.

That worker who came up to Husky whispered something into his ears and pointed upstairs.

“What is going on?” Fei asked with a frown.

“There is a b*stard who dares to bully my sister, and he is upstairs! Damn it! I’m going to crush his balls!” Husky shouted angrily. Then, he moved toward the stairs under impulse. Since he was very used to being casual around Fei, and Fei liked this big guy’s straightforwardness, Husky cursed and used profanity.

Fei didn’t say anything, and he only followed Husky up the stairs.

The Soros’ Merchant Group was one of the wealthiest groups on the Continent, and it was a force that couldn’t be reckoned with. Therefore, this man who dared to cause trouble was either a dumb*ss or had a powerful background. Husky might not have the ability to handle this situation.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

As soon as Husky got to the staircase, a loud and arrogant voice sounded from upstairs before he could get up, “Huh? I didn’t think that there are people who aren’t afraid of death in this little regional office. How dare you interrupt my fun? Chek, don’t let him come up! Kill him!”

As soon as this man finished speaking, another man responded. Then, a dash of sharp knife energy struck toward Husky’s face.

This strike was very vicious, and the person who attacked was at least an Eight-Star Warrior.

This person used his full strength without holding back, and he was murderous.

Although Husky had been around Fei for a while now, he wasn’t that talented and was dull, unlike Drogba and Pierce who looked straightforward and tough on the outside but were thoughtful on the inside. Therefore, he wasn’t good at cultivating warrior energy.

After the [Hulk Potion] strengthened his body, he only reached Two-Star and couldn’t block this strike at all.

Then, an anxious gasp sounded from upstairs; it was from Jessica.

Fei was a bit surprised and thought, “Eight-Star Warriors are rare at Chambord. Who could this person be? I can’t really tell from the voice alone.”

The king didn’t overreact to this situation. He lightly exhaled and blew out, and that easily shattered the lethal blade energy.

Then, he pushed on Husky who was blanking out a little, and the two of them quickly got onto the second floor.
