Chapter 2215: An Eye For an Eye

The King expected that Tang Shaoyang was not a lunatic like the others since he was new, at least a little bit less of a lunatic. He was totally wrong about it. This one was even crazier than the other Executive Administrator.

Why crazier? The new Executive Administrator dared to say, even though his faction was considered small. In terms of power, the Hurakan Kingdom easily swept the Tang Empire. Yet the leader of that faction challenged him openly.

He had to admit that the new Executive Administrator’s strength was beyond his expectations. That aura alone explained why this man was appointed as the new Executive Administrator. However, one man’s strength could not influence a massive war. In conclusion, this one was just another lunatic from the Administrator.

“I guess that will be a good introduction from me,” Tang Shaoyang added.

The reason he was invited to the King’s birthday celebration was to talk about the spirit from the Hurakan Kingdom, maybe also Thomas Lysvand’s body.

Even though he told Arion repeatedly that he would not give up on his spirits, they insisted on at least meeting the King first. They seemed to believe that the Hurakan Kingdom had something that could make him give up his four high-rank Archaic Spirits.

“How is that a good introduction? Is it barbaric in your barbaric culture to point a sword at your host as a greeting?” a white-haired man responded. His tone revealed that he disliked what Tang Shaoyang did.

Tang Shaoyang chuckled, “It’s a good introduction to the host who tried to humiliate their guests, even trying to use a meager aura to intimidate their guests. So you will understand that your meager threat will not work for me. That way, you skip the part about threatening me to give up my spirits.”

“Since we are on the topic, let’s get straight to it!” Clementine’s mood soured, and she didn’t want to stay around longer.

Right after she finished her words, the door was flung open. Clementine, Arion, Valeria, and Baba frowned and turned in that direction where the noise came from. This was supposed to be an important meeting between the Administrator and the Hurakan Kingdom, yet their subordinate rudely interrupted their meeting.

The King was upset, and the people around him were enraged. Even if it was an urgent situation, this person should not fling the door like that.

However, the one who entered the meeting room was the King’s trusted subordinate and also the Prime Minister’s right hand. For him to enter like this, the situation must be urgent.

The Prime Minister motioned his people to come over and tell him what it was about. Even though this man was his right hand, he would be punished for his action. The punishment depended on the report.

The Prime Minister frowned at first, and his face darkened after hearing the complete report. He sent the report to the kings and the others through messages. The King was the only one who managed to keep his composure neutral.

“What’s the meaning of this, Executive Administrator Clementine?” He asked Clementine.

“What do you think? Do you think you can be free of consequences after trying to humiliate the Executive Administrator? Whether it’s your intention or your underling’s doesn’t really matter. I am just playing your game.”

The King massaged the space between his eyes. The situation had gone out of hand, and now it affected the Hurakan Kingdom’s resources. They just lost the right to seven God-Rank Dimensional Towers.

Their people were outright kicked out of the tower for a minor exploit. Minor System’s exploits that would be ignored by the Administrator. It was used by many big factions, and they remained unpunished.

The Administrator would not bother to look at it as long as they didn’t cross the line. While it was being ignored, it didn’t mean they were not breaking the rule. They could be punished, and that was exactly what the Executive Administrator did.

The Hurakan Kingdom had twenty expedition forces entering the God-Rank Dimensional Tower, and they lost almost half of them. The resources from the God-Rank Dimensional Tower were crucial.

They would not go poor, but they took a massive hit from this move. The Dimensional Tower was more than just resources; it was a training ground for their people as well. The best place for the Demi-God Rank to prepare.

This was not the end of it; the Gawain Clan’s affiliated forces also moved against the Hurakan Kingdom’s force in the same Dimensional Tower. On top of that, Arion seemed to use his influence to move the other big forces to compete with the Hurakan Kingdom.

It was known that Arion didn’t have a faction; he was a single individual. However, he had many dealings with a lot of big factions. While he was alone, he could move many big factions that owed him a favor.

The King realized that what the Imperial Investigator did truly rubbed the Executive Administrator the wrong way for them to mobilize the force like this.

But the target was Tang Shaoyang, not Clementine or Arion. So why were they so upset for them to retaliate this way? On the other side, Arion explained what happened to Tang Shaoyang. They didn’t even bother to put up a soundproofing barrier so everyone could hear their conversation.

The reason why Clementine and Arion went so far for Tang Shaoyang was Redmond, formerly known as Leon Francis, the former Executive Administrator who joined the Void Cult.

Tang Shaoyang withheld the report about his meeting with Redmond, but he ended up telling the other Executive Administrators about Redmond’s purpose.

Redmond tried to save Alderman, and the rest was easy to guess. The Void Cult was looking for Thomas Lysvand’s replacement. They were rebuilding their force despite their silence.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang also told them that Redmond offered him a spot as an Emperor in the Void Cult. He told them that he didn’t have the intention to live in the Void Realm, so he refused the offer.

While they believed Tang Shaoyang would not switch sides, there might be a time when he might change his mind later. For example, if Tang Shaoyang needed help to face the Hurakan Kingdom.

Clementine and Arion were reluctant to make a move against the Hurakan Kingdom, but a little game and punishment should be fine. That was why they immediately did this, telling not just the Hurakan Kingdom, but also Tang Shaoyang that the Executive Administrators had his back.

Tang Shaoyang didn’t know that the Executive Administrator had such authority over the Dimensional Tower. Now it made sense how Arion could put his experiments inside the Dimensional Tower.

“Tch,” Baba clicked his tongue, “Now you guys are teaching him how to abuse his authority! He will start doing it with the Nirvana Alliance and the God Order now.”

The conflict between Tang Shaoyang and the Nirvana Alliance and the God Order had become a public secret. The Hurakan Kingdom’s King and his people were not surprised to hear it.

Meanwhile, the King was not aware of Tang Shaoyang’s meeting with the former Executive Administrator. He was perplexed by their action, how the two aloof Executive Administrators became so protective.

“This is no longer a game, Executive Administrator Clementine. We will fight back!” The Supreme Commander, who was also the Minister of War, joined the conversation.

“Then go fight back. We all should know that the Dimensional Tower is about competition. You don’t have to tell me about the fight inside the Dimensional Tower. Unless you are talking about something else entirely,” Clementine shrugged in response.

“If you have a complaint about the dismissal of the seven God-Rank Dimensional Towers, then you can submit an appeal.”

The King realized that his people had grown complacent because so few factions and forces dared to compete with them. Because they bore the title of Guardian of the God Realm. Their prestige made many factions back down.

However, the woman in front of them was one of the few who was not afraid of the Hurakan Kingdom. Telling her that the Hurakan Kingdom would fight back to her was laughable, stupid in fact.

“That’s enough, Razo!”

That was the name of the Supreme Commander of the Hurakan Kingdom. The King stopped his people before things truly got out of hand.

“We can’t stop at this, Your Majesty! If you let them trample us, the others will follow! Especially when it happens over a trial matter like this!”

Razo’s argument was not wrong either. The other big factions might misunderstand the situation if they back down so easily in the face of the Executive Administrator’s pressure.

“Trivial matter?” Tang Shaoyang chuckled, “Then how about we do this then. You! All of you will attend the party held by the Administrator. Don’t forget to bring your wives, and I will send my people to ask your wives to dance in front of the public. If you are willing to do so, then I will get my head to the floor and beg them to give back your Dimensional Tower’s rights!”

“There’s no need to beg. If they are willing to do so, then I will even give them five new worlds, fifteen more God-Rank Dimensional Towers!” Arion even added compensation. He dared to do so because he knew the Hurakan Kingdom would not let its King and Queen be humiliated publicly. He just added fuel to the fire.

Razo fumed when he heard that. He stood up and slammed the table, crushed the table into dust instantly, then he pointed his finger toward Tang Shaoyang, “How dare you compare the Hurakan Kingdom’s Queen’s dignity to these lowly bitches of yours!”

The moment Razo finished his sword, a sword gleamed in gold energy that tinted with darkness, flashed toward Razo’s neck.
