Picking Up Beautiful Girls In The Post-Apocalyptic World!-Chapter 292
Han ignored the fear on their faces as he stared at the merchant that looked like she wanted to jump into the water behind her. Is he that scary? He wasn’t even trying to scare them.
“What were you just saying about the king of this place?”
The merchant paled when she realized that she might’ve said too much! Is this man here to arrest her for talking against the king!? She never planned to slander the king’s name!
“I’m not here to arrest you. I just overheard some of what you said and I was curious. What were you saying about the king going missing? Here, I’ll leave this for you if you tell me everything. Let’s just take this as a trade with a mutual exchange if you would like that better,”
The woman calmed down a little as she realized Han wasn’t dangerous and she quickly began to talk once she saw the gold coin that Han dropped on the table! She told Han all about how the king hasn’t been seen for a week and nobody knows where he might’ve gone to. She also told him that the outer ring of the floor was still receiving more than enough resources to survive even if the king was missing!
Han asked the woman to explain what she meant by an outer ring. The merchant was a little surprised by the question because she could feel Han was very strong. Shouldn’t he already know about this floor? But even still, she didn’t mind saying everything she knew. This floor was divided into two rings. An outer ring and an inner ring that are separated by a large wall. The inner ring was where the king and the nobles lived and the outer ring was where the commoners and soldiers lived. Nobody was ever allowed into the inner ring. Only those given permission by the king could go there. Han scoffed. What a perfect floor for a coward to live on. He is even hiding from the commoners like a rat.
But even though the inner rings and outer rings were separated like that. The commoners were given hundreds of goods and free weapons every month. It seems that Ratte was still taking care of his subjects very well. That was one of the reasons why this floor was designated as a peaceful floor. Since it was ruled by a king that never involved himself with the commoners, the people were then the ones that formed the government themselves. There was fair trade and things were very calm.
But lately, according to the merchant, there has been news that the absence of the king might make some of the nobles rise in revolt and they might start trying to take over the floor. Han stopped the woman right there. He didn’t care about any sort of civil war.
By the time the woman finished talking Han was already tired of hearing her voice. She gave him a lot of information but she really talks a lot. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
Han turned towards Gregory as he took his cloak off and he spoke to him.
“Gregory, we’re moving fast to the castle. If anyone stops you, kill them. If you see anyone with a power level that you can’t sense then alert me immediately. I’m fucking tired of this shit!”
Han blasted into the air and Gregory quickly took off his cloak as he shot off after Han! Back with the merchant, she was staring at the space where Han just flew off in shock. Did she just hear right? Gregory? As in, Gregory the ‘Grim Reaper’!? Then that man that just ordered the strongest right hand around is surely king Han! What is going to happen now!? She just leaked all of their secrets to the rouge king! Is this an invasion!?
Han was flying at intense speeds toward the inner circle. He could see how many people were shocked to see him and some of them that recognized him immediately started to shout as they screamed his name! This caused a wide panic to ensue in the outer and inner circle and before long a riot had begun! Everyone on the floor knew exactly what Han did on the lower floors! This man erased an entire floor from existence! No one wanted to be here when the fighting starts!
The bridge that the merchants were selling on before was now filled to the brim with terrified people that were trying to run away from this floor! No one even dared to try flying away for fear that they would get in Han’s way! They were all just running like fucking chickens!
As Han got close to the inner ring, he saw a group of soldiers flying out of the inner ring to apprehend him. Han’s bloodlust spiked in anger and the group of soldiers felt a great fear engulf them as they almost deactivated their flight skills right there! Han was not in a good mood at all! But they can’t run! They have to protect the inner ring no matter what! 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
“Grim Reaper! Sever their hearts!”
Only for them to breathe their last breaths as Gregory appeared and erased all of them at once. Han blasted past the falling corpses as he got to the inner ring. He landed in the courtyard of the palace and he began to march into the main building. Han was actually very pissed right now. Everything he heard from that woman pointed only to the truth that Ratte ran away! A king ran away from a fight! What sort of nonsense is this!? This man doesn’t even deserve to be a king if this is how you react to danger! You left your people and your kingdom and you ran away like a coward!
Inside the main building, a large squadron of soldiers was standing in front of the door and they were all holding their breaths in anticipation. They just got the call a few minutes ago that King Han was on his way and they quickly ran down here to try and protect the king. The leader of the guard was a high-ranking white star that could already feel sweat running down his brow. Okay, it should be fine. He might be a king but how strong can he be really? I know I’m almost at twenty percent of King Ratte’s power and if we add everyone here, we should be able to hold King Han back for some time. I’m sure people were just exaggerating most of those things he did. I mean, how in the world can anybody erase a floor!
And even if he is very strong, the castle was made of premium mirthyl, one of the strongest metals on this floor. Only a white star will be able to even push the door open and to break it was impossible! Han will never be able to get in!
Boom!!!!!!!
The guard actually sweatdropped as he heard something hit the door with phenomenal force! A loud groan echoed across the room before the almighty door began to fall to the ground and landed with another large boom!
No way. Did King Han just kick our door down? Like it’s a toy!? What the actual fuck!?
Han began to walk into the building and the people there all gulped. Han was unapproachable. His mere aura formed a wide space around him that nobody dared to even get close to. He was walking with a glare on his face and the guard were too scared to even raise their weapons!
Gregory walked beside Han as all of the guards began to part like the red sea to allow them through. Gregory walked until he got to the other side of the guards before he then stopped here and allowed Han to continue forward on his own. Gregory just turned and faced all of the guards that were still cowering in fear. Once Han was gone, Gregory saw how the guards calmed down just like he expected them to. Han’s bloodlust was just too strong for anybody to try attacking him at that moment, but just like fucking hyenas, these people will start gaining back their confidence once the strongest predator is gone.
One of the guards looked at Gregory’s hand and saw he was just a white star. All of the guards there were white stars and there were almost a hundred of them with even more of them coming to help them soon! They can surely take this man!
“Please…”
The soldiers felt a shiver run down their spines as Gregory finally spoke. Gregory’s voice was chilling enough to make ice freeze. His scythe was lying across his shoulders and his two hands were resting on them as he smiled.
“…. My king is not to be disturbed and I’d advise you against trying your luck with me. But if you truly wish to, then I won’t stop you. After all, just like death, I am a benevolent being. I treat all things impartially,”
The image of a giant Grim Reaper appeared behind Gregory and all the soldiers took giant steps back as they felt like their lives would end at that moment. It felt like if they take a step forward then the grim Reaper would harvest their souls!
