Chapter 1072 – 1072. God’s Atlantis
Elena, who returned to the Baldert family, was busy with her days.
While she was away for a while, her family was in ruins. She was much more serious than she expected.
More than half of useful and capable talents have left. Fortunately, the news of Elena’s return spreads and the departed talents are returning, but that time has been slow. She must have been enjoying the break since it was a long time ago.
‘I’m sorry. But I can’t help it. Somehow, I also enjoyed my vacation… If they drop too… It’s terrible.’
There were major family external and internal problems.
The external problem is the nobles’ political attack on the Waldert family. This is fine As one of the Imperial Wukongs, he returned safely, so he should punish him slowly. The thought of crushing the nobles and receiving damage compensation was rather enjoyable.
What was serious was an internal problem.
The Baldert family was certain of Elena’s death. Falling into the Hell Zone, it was only natural that many people watched the scene.
Aiming for the seat of the vacant owner, her relatives showed their greed. In her presence, things that hadn’t even made a sound out of her were fighting each other over her seat of power.
‘It was done openly. Poisoning and assassination are basic, but they have reached out to external forces. There’s not one thing to sort out.’
The Justia family aided in the fall of the Baldert family. The other nobles were thinking of how to rip off the Baldert family. Enemies are everywhere.
‘Even if I returned only a month late… It’s getting dizzy.’
She worked day and night. Things that needed to be purged were purged, and businesses related to the family were checked one by one. If it weren’t for the [Complete Recovery] Skill that completely recovers her mental as well as her physical fatigue, she would have already collapsed from overwork.
“My lord!!”
The door opened and a middle-aged man entered.
One of Elena’s trusted retainers. His gray beard, which he was usually proud of, had lost its luster due to lack of maintenance, and the eyes behind his glasses were dark enough to believe that they were pandas.
“Have you finished what you ordered?”
“… An inspection team was sent to the Ferid Chamber. You should be able to see Hoeju’s neck around noon tomorrow.”
“Today alone, I have seen 30 human heads. I’m tired of watching more, so you check it out and take care of it yourself.”
“Yes. Lord.”
“I won’t let you down.”
“… Yes?”
“…… Didn’t you come to ask for your resignation?”
“I know it’s useless. A guest came to the mansion.”
“Who is it?”
Elena straightened her body in her crooked seat. She ordered the other day. If a gossip comes to you, treat him at the door. By the way, most of the idiots are nobles below the count.
“This is A-Plan Legion. It is the legion that the head of the family returned and resumed sponsoring.”
“Right. It’s annoying to go to the reception room. Bring them here.”
“I will.”
Elena, who lowered her gaze to her papers, raised her head again, knowing that he hadn’t left.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“That is… That would be blasphemous, but….”
“Speak without hesitation. Now I can’t kill you If you die, my work will double.”
“I will risk this old life. Lord. Please stop the execution of family members.”
“You want me to treat you as a relative? Do you know what they did?”
“I know that, but I’m not overdoing it.”
“The little ones were sent to monasteries. I have been merciful enough. The money donated to the monastery is also quite good. … Well. That’s a big deal. Now I’m going to have doubts about you.”
“I didn’t get paid or not. It’s for family. There are no successors. To deal with everything except for two people…. If something happens to the head of household….”
“…….”
Elena could not ignore her vassal’s concerns. Because one of the reasons the family was ruined was because there was no heir.
As a vassal, you must be concerned that something similar will happen again. She closed her eyes for a moment.
‘In the past, I would have ignored it. After all, there is little chance that this world will last for more than 30 years. But now….’
A man with more god-like powers than a god comes to her mind.
If he is that man, he will be able to change the fate of this world. No, it will remain unchanged.
Said Elena, who opened her eyes.
“I will make a successor within 10 years. So wait 10 years. What The generously set period is 10 years. Maybe it will be made right away next year.”
“… Yeah? Not a choice… Are you making it? Seo, could it be that the family lord used an artificial human?!”
“You cross the line. If it wasn’t for the lack of manpower, I would have had to run 30 laps around the parade ground.”
“…… Who is your opponent? What is your lineage? Do you have the dignity befitting the Duke of Waldert?”
The vassal asked with a straight face.
“Lineage? He is from a high-ranking aristocracy. Born as the youngest of three siblings, she assumed the heir position. His dignity… Not good at acting If you make up your mind and order it, even a king would believe it. In fact, he says he even served as an emperor.”
The vassal narrowed his forehead. I searched desperately in my head, but no one came to mind.
“No way… Of the imperial family?!”
“You wanna die?”
“It was a mistake. Anyway, if you don’t know his name, you can trust him.”
“… What can you trust?”
“For some reason, I think he will jump into hell for the sake of the head of the household.”
“…….”
“He must be the one who makes the head of the household feel at ease.”
“Are you relaxed? I? Can’t you see how busy I am right now?”
“It is a peace of mind. He’d accepted a few jokes in the past, but… You had a line. A firm line.”
“Can’t you see that line now?”
“I see. It just looks blurry from afar. That’s a nice change. I will go out and bring the A-Plan Legion.”
The vassal went out. Elena was blank for a moment, then she stared into space.
‘I’ve changed?’
Wrinkling between her brows, she quickly smiled.
‘Not bad.’
After a while, members of the A-Plan Legion came to her office. Starting with the legion master Kang Myung-jin, there were plenty of beauties around him. However, there was no soft atmosphere like spring. All of them have serious faces, as if they were at a funeral.
“Your Excellency Duke Baldert. Long time no see. I’m glad you look alright.”
“Greetings are over, Kang Myung-jin. I don’t have time, so tell me the main point. Well, I guess. It must be about Sung Eugene.”
When Seong Yu-jin’s name was mentioned, the women shook their shoulders. Elena’s clever mind recalled their names and information. Joo Seo-hyun, Yu Seo-hee, Lilsne, Lee Min-jung.
I used to think so, but now I care about them quite a lot.
‘… I must have touched Aren’t you the type to leave such beauties alone….’
Elena felt her chest tight for nothing.
“… Yes. We know he’s alive. He probably escaped from the Hell Zone with the Duke. Where is he now?”
“I do not know.”
She lied without spitting on her lips. If they visit Seong Yu-jin now, Seong Yu-jin, who has been dealing with the Black Week Alliance for a while, will be in trouble. He quietly soothed her grumpiness as she raised her head.
“We broke up right after we escaped the Hell Zone. I don’t know anything about him because I’m trying to sort out a delinquent family.”
“… Is that so.”
Full of disappointment The women, in particular, seemed very depressed. Grumpy raised his head again. However, the subject has changed.
“Are you not his companions? He doesn’t believe him and comes looking for me… What a disappointment. If it were me, I would have trusted him to the end.”
“We believe in him too. We only came to visit the Duke because we were worried about him and couldn’t stay still.”
“That’s proof that you don’t trust him. There is not much trust between colleagues. If it were me, I would have trusted him and waited until the end.”
“Um….”
The members of the A-Plan Legion swallowed their moans.
Elena asked, looking at the women.
“Do you guys know the name ‘Yuria’ by any chance?”
“No. It’s the first time I’ve heard the name… “
Kang Myung-jin and the women’s reactions were the same. Elena curled up one corner of her mouth.
“Ah. Is it. Well, I thought so.”
“May I ask who he is?”
“She is more capable than me. And… Rival? You could say it’s a similar entity. It has nothing to do with you.”
Did he feel the strange nuance in Elena’s tone? The women’s expressions were not good. In particular, a tall woman with long black hair and sharp eyes approached Elena, frowning openly at her.
Joo Seohyun.
Elena remembered her name. At a glance, Joo Seohyun’s breasts were as big as YuRia’s. Elena was slightly offended.
“Your Excellency the Duke. I’ll ask straight forward. What is your relationship with him?”
“The way you talk is cheeky. However, since he belongs to the Legion, forgive me. My relationship with him… It’s a relationship that goes beyond what you think.”
“… Do you know what I’m thinking?”
“…….”
Elena laughed quietly. Joo Seo-hyun’s hands trembled at that smile that looked down on people. However, Seohyun Joo did not cross the line. He backed away as if he didn’t want to deal with Elena. Joo Seo-hyun instinctively knew that Elena was an absurdly powerful person.
“I want to ask you this time. What is your relationship with him?”
“… It is an enemy relationship.”
“Is it. I thought it was a relationship between a master and a bitch.”
“What!”
Joo Seo-hyun’s face suddenly turned red. Elena laughed quietly. I said it because I looked strong, but it seems that I was really trained as a bitch.
“Kang Myung-jin. If you’re done with your business, I want you to leave.”
“I’m sorry for wasting your time, Your Excellency.”
“Okay. About him… Believe and wait Could he possibly forsake you?”
They said goodbye and left the office.
Elena waved her hand in the air. A conch shell fell into her hand from subspace. Contemplating the conch shell, she placed it back in the subspace.
‘It’s what he did, so he’ll take care of it.’
•••
As Helten’s executive, the Heavenly Demon, I moved with Li Mei wearing a clown mask. He went and persuaded the officers of the Black Week League one by one.
‘It’s not persuasion, but it’s more like intimidation.’
I look at the Chinese man in front of me. Li Mei bet on him to charm and enchant. Since fascination stacks 3 times, she becomes a faithful slave and spits out everything that could be a weakness, such as what she has and the corruption she has committed.
Li Mei can even change her partner’s unconscious by walking her fascination daily for an hour, for about 30 days, and turn her partner into a complete slave, she says. However, there is no time for that, so she threatens with weakness. When her threats didn’t work, she killed relentlessly.
“Mr. Eugene. I think the Black Pearl Lord noticed it. It’s not that the recruited executives told you… Since you know my unique traits, you must have guessed.”
What I was doing now was just setting aside work for the smooth operation of the Black Week League.
If the Black Pearl Lord noticed, this would be difficult. It’s real from now on.
“It’s time to have a thrilling conversation with the Black Pearl Lord.”
Kill the Black Pearl Lord and take the Black Pearl Lord’s place. After that, change the water of the Black Pearl once again. Reduce the size of the Black Widow League to match the capabilities of Li Mei, who has never led an organization.
“Let’s go.”
We opened the space travel scroll and moved to the area where the Dark Lord Lord is.
