Chapter 579
Episode 150. When to get paid (2)
* * *
Dante’s obscure request was to assassinate the emperor and bring about his supply and demand.
He wanted to ask for his capture alive if possible, but Owl assigned Jonah as the assassin to kill the emperor.
There is no assassin who can find and kill the emperor faster than she, and Owl was concerned that the imperial family would first secure the emperor’s recruits before the sword of obscurity could reach them.
This was the reason Owl refused to capture him alive. Jonah possesses an assassination ability that surpasses even himself, but it is impossible to control.
There was no way she would spare the emperor even if she saw it in person. The emperor’s attack on Hiran was not only a threat to the empire, but also to his younger brother, Jin, whom Jonah cherished more than anything else in the world.
Unfortunately, Dante had no choice but to accept the condition for the same reasons as Owl.
No matter how great his resentment was, Dante was not a person with the temper to capture and torture the emperor anyway.
Therefore, it was necessary to secure the emperor’s neck with the surest and fastest means, and hang it in the plaza to announce that the empire had escaped his rule.
But, contrary to everyone’s expectations.
Jonah brought the emperor alive with a bright smile on his face. To the second castle of Hiran, the imperial capital, where Jin and Dante are waiting.
“Hey, I’m the youngest. You have no idea how much I wanted to kill this skinny chunk of meat.”
The most surprised by that appearance was Oul. Seeing Yona dragging the stunned emperor like a piece of luggage, Owl almost dropped the cigarette he was holding.
“Oh, Jonah… … How did you think of bringing him alive?”
“I think the youngest would want to handle this more than me, hee hee. Did you do well?”
When Yona lightly tossed the emperor in front of them and said, Owl narrowed his brows in concern.
“Are you okay?”
After the chaos of Gleec overtook royalties.
Jonah’s chaos, which he had recently been able to control, had begun to bother her again as before.
It was because Jonah’s chaos was reacting to Gleek’s chaos, the source of that dark power.
Owl knew that, and he’s here to talk to Jin about it.
“I’m still fine, hehe. Enough to kill everyone in sight? And if the youngest likes it, he can tolerate it a little!”
Jonah’s face was pale when he said he was fine. It was never easy to suppress the murderous intent that chaos was forcibly amplifying.
She was born as a murderer, stained with chaos from birth, but her essence is made up of a kind and pure energy that is not like Runkandel.
Jin was the first to recognize such an inner side of Yona as a reserve rider, and thanks to him, she was able to control the chaos and endured even now, when she became unstable again.
“I will not entrust you with capture missions from now on.”
“Thank you, sister. Still, I hope you always prioritize your sister’s condition from now on.”
“My youngest worries about me.”
“of course.”
“Hee hee, good, good. Then, I need to take a break. You’ll be fine by tomorrow evening, maknae, you’re just waiting. Let’s play!”
“of course.”
As Jonah went out the window and disappeared somewhere, Owl touched his forehead. Jindo’s expression darkened. It was because there were words that were shared until Jonah came.
“Sir Owl, was it really that bad?”
“okay. When the guy named Gleek woke up, he had seizures and ran out of control. There were no casualties because I and all the best shooters were nearby, but if it hadn’t been… … I hate to imagine.”
Jin focused his attention on the scars on Oul’s face and hands. It was a wound caused by overpowering Jonah, who ran out of control.
‘Even though the top 10 killers were together, did Sir Oul get hurt?’
I never thought that Gleeek’s awakening would lead to Jonah’s rampage.
‘At the time, Sir Amela and the Prochi siblings also showed signs of having seizures because of Gleec’s energy. But my sister went into a runaway even though she was so far away from the battlefield.’
There is still not much known about chaos in the world. All they know is that the kings of chaos were created due to the mistake of the gods, Jindo Wonwonseok, who experienced Gleec directly, and that they could never stand against them without the power of creation.
Still, I was able to infer the connection between the situation.
“Right now, the remnants of Gleec are not causing the same reaction as Jonah’s sister to all those infected with chaos.”
Amela and Frochi’s seizures subsided shortly after the Bamal Alliance escaped the battlefield with Runkandel’s help.
Now that only the remnants of the guy are left, there is nothing different from before the incident.
“This is a phenomenon that only happens to those who are infected with a certain level of chaos, you mean?”
“I think so. Have you ever seen the true nature of the chaos that sister Yona has?”
“saw.”
“Lord Amela is infected with chaos. Yona’s sister found out about this and came to subdue Sir Amela’s chaos, but the difference between my sister and Sir Amela’s chaos was so great that they couldn’t even compare.”
Then Jin pointed to the documents lying on the table.
“And in these documents, other than Yona’s sister, cases of demonicization and runaways are listed. The informants and journalists of the Bamal Alliance have known, and similar things are happening all over the world.”
However, among the runaways, no one showed as strong a force as Jonah. Of course, they also needed at least 7 or 8-star knights and wizards to subdue them, but it was nothing compared to Jonah.
If the degree of reaction to Gleeck’s aura really depends on the size of the chaos, it meant that Jonah’s chaos was on a different level from them.
“Whoa.”
Owl sighed in frustration.
As of now, there is no means to prevent the runaway phenomenon of the chaos infected.
And Owl considered Jonah more than his successor and cherished him sincerely.
Jin was frustrated as well.
“I will continue to find out how.”
“As soon as related information comes out even though it is unknown, I will share it with the Barmal Alliance.”
Owl was now treating Jin as the commander-in-chief of the Bamal Alliance, not just the rider of Runcandel. It wasn’t just because he personally held Jin in high regard and was grateful for Jonah.
Since the game of the world has changed due to the Geomhwang Temple, Mumyeong may not have much time left to remain neutral now.
“Anyway, I’m going to go watch Jonah for now. With this, all requests have been completed. Jin, and Dante Hiran.”
Dante kept his eyes fixed on the fallen emperor as they talked.
“Yes, Lord Owl. Additional compensation for the capture will be paid as soon as you inform… … .”
Owl shook his head at Dante’s words.
“You don’t have to. After all, aren’t our obscurities indebted to Sir Ron? Besides, I was in debt to Sir Ron in my youth.”
Owl pulled out a single artificial flower from his bosom.

“I can’t offer it to Sir Ron’s light at the Geomwangseong Fortress, so if a temporary memorial stone is built in the empire, raise it to Sir Ron instead of me.”
When Owl came forward, Jin and Dante looked down at the emperor. I could see what kind of escape he had been leading in his torn clothes, his ghastly appearance, and his lean body.
“It looks like you haven’t received any protection from the imperial family.”
Dante nodded at Jin’s words.
The two did not know that the reason why the imperial family did not protect the emperor was not only because of ‘popular sentiment’.
It meant that the emperor no longer had the most important paddle of the imperial family, including the ‘Mainhwa’.
“At noon, I will inform the people of my regency.”
pair, pair!
Dante slaps the Emperor and lifts him up.
“Kuh, ugh!”
“Rebellion criminal Amir Bement.”
“Dante… … What is high?”
“In two hours, you will be standing in the Imperial Palace Plaza, where you incited Hi-Lan to be a traitor. Your life and death will be decided there.”
As if the emperor had already let go of his lingering feelings, he didn’t look too embarrassed. He knew that the imperial family had abandoned him.
Besides, even Zipline broke his promise to himself during the first game, so he really had no foundation left.
“Puhh… … Are you going to publicly execute Jim and proclaim that the time of Hyran has come? Are you going to cut my throat with that sword?”
“No, it’s not Hiran’s vengeance that kills you… … .”
Charak! Dante pulled back the curtains and opened the central window, revealing a cloud-like crowd in the distance.
People were shouting. Hurry up and bring Amir Beament to death.
Otherwise, it was poised to cause a riot at any moment.
“It is the public sentiment of the empire.”
The calm emperor’s eyes suddenly darkened and shook.
What Amir Viment feared was not death or torture. He wasn’t abandoned by the imperial family, nor was he losing his position as emperor.
It was the voice of the people’s resentment. He didn’t even know it himself.
Amir Viment was a cruel and monstrous figure, but as much as he loved his people as an emperor, he was sincere.
-Anyway, they don’t have the strength to stop Jim, and they don’t have the will to do so. He likes Hi-Lan more than Jim, but he doesn’t really risk his life. I find the foolishness and irritation of the people so cute and lovely.
Words spoken to Alton Hiran in the Imperial Palace Square right before the Sword Emperor Temple.
Unlike then, the people of today were determined to kill the emperor, even if they were willing to die.
That figure was destroying the inner side of the emperor, which was made up of arrogance, self-righteousness, and pride. He was not yet ready to part with the people.
A pitiful man who had spent his entire life living in a false unrequited love was about to die at their hands.
It was more painful for Amir Viment to realize that he had finally realized it than to have his throne taken away and die.
two hours later.
The emperor, who was thrown into the square, was stoned by the people until nothing was left of him.
Even after all that was left of the ground he was standing on was a stain made of blood, flesh, and bones, the people continued to curse him.
