Chapter 269: Kang Chul-In, the Villain of the Century!

“I have only one request . ” 

Kang Chul-In smiled .  

“Let me into the Pentagon . ” 

“ . . . !” 

“That’s all I’m asking for . If you do, then I won’t lay a single finger on you or your baby . ” 

Chills! Mei Ling was taken aback .  

The Pentagon . Back on Earth, it referred to the headquarters building for the United States Department of Defense, but in Pangaea, it referred to the command center for the Gullveig Alliance . In other words, Kang Chul-In was requesting to enter the heart of the Gullveig Alliance which was hidden deep under the grounds of Bifrost .  

“T-That is i-impossible . ” 

Mei Ling shook her head violently .  

“A-Anything but that! Please request for something else . . . ” 

“No . ”

“P-Please…!” 

It was a simple request, but Mei Ling couldn’t just say yes . There was a war going on . Thus, most of the Lords of the Gullveig Alliance were staying in the Pentagon, except for Vilhelm and Ao Xin who were personally out on the battlefield .  

N-Never!

Mei Ling could already expect what would happen if she said yes . As a rule, the Lords in the Pentagon couldn’t bring along many bodyguards . After all, a rogue may create havoc in the command center where the leaders of the northern lands of Pangaea all gathered .

Because of that, only the Lord, their secretary and fewer than five bodyguards were allowed in the Pentagon . This rule applied to even Vilhelm, the chairperson of the Gullveig Alliance . What if Kang Chul-In had penetrated into this facility? 

Everyone will die… everyone…!

A total massacre would happen .  

“Why, you don’t want to?” 

Kang Chul-In pressured Mei Ling .  

“You’re asking for too much . . . ” 

“Oh, am I?” 

“ . . . !” 

“But what to do . . . ” 

Kang Chul-In gradually began to stroke Kaiforce’s handle . It was a clear threat and a warning .  

“You are starting to spoil my mood . ” 

“P-Please… anything but that… anything . . . ” 

“I don’t need anything else . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“I only want to enter the Pentagon . ” 

Kang Chul-In was a stubborn man .  

“And also . ” 

“Y-Yes?” 

“Do you think I, the Supreme King of the West, have anything else to ask from you, you bitch?” 

“ . . . !” 

“Know your place . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“I have everything that I need . ” 

His words were crude, but they were certainly not wrong .  

Money? It was true that Kang Chul-In wasn’t so affluent, but he had a great sponsor called Lee Chae-Rin .  

Honor? His reputation was already so horrendous, there was nothing that could revert that .  

Moreover, Mei Ling didn’t carry any items that could satisfy Kang Chul-In . As for women or Mei Ling herself… further explanations were not needed .  

“B-But… your request is beyond my capabilities . . . ” 

At that moment .  

“My lady, are you asleep?” 

A middle-aged maid spoke softly and entered the room .  

“There’s a message from his Majesty Vilhelm that he expects a victory and . . . ” 

Instantly, 

Swish, slash!

A black flash of light slit the maid’s throat .  

Thump, roll . . .

The eyes were still wide open . The maid’s head fell on the floor of Mei Ling’s bedroom .  

Pssssshhh!

And subsequently, crimson-red blood began to spurt out from the headless body .  

“ . . . !” 

Mei Ling couldn’t even let out a scream . She simply froze .  

It wasn’t because of the murder . She herself was an explorer . Although she retired after marrying Vilhelm, in the past she had frequently witnessed her companions being eaten up alive by monsters .

However, things were different this time .  

He could really… die! 

Mei Ling could vividly picture her baby’s death in the hands of Kang Chul-In . Her own death aside, what kind of mother could bear the pain of letting her own child die? 

She’s shaken up .  

Kang Chul-In grinned in satisfaction inwardly .  

He had no intention of killing the mother or the child from the very beginning . He might have been a demon, but he was no scum . Killing a newborn baby was a crime that he refused to commit .  

Moreover, Mei Ling and her baby’s death could fuel the Alliance army’s anger and vengeance . Infiltrating the Pentagon was 100 times, no, 1000 times wiser .  

“So, are you going to let me enter the Pentagon or are you going to die here?” 

A final warning .  

“Ah fret not, I will spare your baby . ” 

“R-Really?” 

“But I can guarantee that he won’t have a great life . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“Have you ever heard of the Aoji coal mine?” 

“Sorry?” 

Being Chinese, Mei Ling had no knowledge about that North Korean coal mine .  

“You don’t know? Alright, let me put it this way . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“My wife has a mine called Niðavellir . ” 

“A-And?” 

“The dwarves live there . That place produces mithril, gold, silver and even steel, but the dwarves themselves find it difficult to work there . ” 

“W-What!?” 

Mei Ling was shocked .  

The dwarves were tough . Covered with muscles from head to toe, they possessed three times the stamina, strength and lung capacity of a normal human . But even they were having a difficult time in that mine? 

“If you choose to die here, then I will specially make your son a slave in the Niðavellir mine for the rest of his life . ” 

“What!?” 

“For generation after generation . Forever . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“Well, I can bet on him not living past the age of twenty in that place . ” 

Brrrrr!

Mei Ling’s body trembled . A human did not belong in that horrible place .  

Kang Chul-In was basically telling Mei Ling that he would gradually let her son die a miserable death .  

“P-Please . . . ” 

“I’m warning you . I hate excuses . ” 

“Sob . . . ” 

“Now, choose . I will give you three seconds . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“One . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“Two . ” 

“ . . . ” 

“Thr- . . . ”

“I-I will do it!” 

In the end, Mei Ling succumbed to Kang Chul-In’s threat .  

“I will do it . ” 

“Wise choice . ” 

Kang Chul-In grinned .

“But promise me that you will let my child and I off . . . ” 

“Don’t worry . ”

“C-Can I trust… you?” 

“I’m Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West and the King of Valhalla . I promise on my life and honour . ” 

0% credibility!

He was being awfully shameless for an intruder in the middle of the night .  

“ . . . ” 

What mattered to Mei Ling, however, was that he would keep to his promise .  

                                                ***

Kwak Jung had no intention of letting the Gigantes destroy the castle walls . That would lead to a catastrophic defeat .  

Webner Fighter Wing, go and annihilate those pieces of meat!

Kwak Jung commanded .  

With a buzzing noise in the air, 

Brooooom!

A black swarm emerged from within the Deathwin stronghold .  

Long live his Majesty Kang Chul-In!

For Valhalla!

Let’s soar!

Our first mission!

The Webner Fighter Wing .

Comprising of male ant demi-humans, it was a division of Valhalla’s air force . The females couldn’t join because they didn’t have wings .  

Once the subordinates of Kimura, they were now labourers and aviators for Kang Chul-In!

Focus on their nostrils, ears and eyes!

Kwak Jung relayed specific orders .  

Yes, commander-in-chief!

We shall do that!

Let’s go and destroy the enemy!

With that, the ant demi-humans began to attack the Gigantes .  

“Roarrrr!” 

“Argh!” 

“It stings!” 

An average height of 25 metres! The Gigantes were capable of withstanding a landslide, but they were powerless against the Webner Fighter Wing . That was to no one’s surprise . The male ants were much more agile than normal humans, not to mention that they could fly . The Gigantes couldn’t dodge the attacks that were coming from every direction!

Moreover, the male ants possessed a jaw strength that could even slice through metal, and their sharp teeth carried a moderate bit of poison .  

Thump, thump!

The earth trembled .  

“Arghhhh!” 

“Keheuk!” 

“Get lost, I said get lost!” 

The Gigantes screamed in agony .

Brooooom!

However, the Webner Fighter Wing was merciless . They drove their powerful jaws into the Gigantes’ skin and injected their poison . They were tough enough to attack any weak points, as Kwak Jung had told them to . Some even crept into the Gigantes’ underwear and bit on their reproductive organs and buttholes!

Heh .  

Kwak Jung smiled cunningly .  

“Tsk tsk… it’s not all about the size, you idiots… even humans can die of bee stings . To think you’ve brought giants to the battlefield… well, it’s good that they have a large surface area to target . ” 

Kwak Jung’s insight was flawless .

The Webner Fighter Wing was indeed a hard counter to the Gigantes .  

In addition, the Gigantes possessed another disadvantage .  

Artilleries are you ready!?

Kwak Jung shouted with the loudspeaker .  

Yes, commander-in-chief!

Easy to target, aren’t they? 

Yes, sir!

The large surface area meant that the artilleries didn’t have to aim much .  

Then what are you waiting for? Fire!

Yes, sir!

One shot, one kill, you hear me? 

Yes, sir!

With that, 

“3…2…1… Fire!” 

All the cannons in Valhalla breathed fire .  

Pow, powww! Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!

“Focus your shots!”

The energy cannons bombarded the frontmost Gigantes .  

“Argh!” 

It began to scream and twist in pain . Subsequently, it tripped over its own foot .  

As for the aftermath, 

“Huh? Oh shitttt!”

“I-It’s falling!” 

“Run everyone!” 

“You bastarddddd!” 

The Gullveig Alliance soldiers were at the receiving end .  

Thump!

The Gigantes collapsed .  

“ . . . ”

For a brief moment, the Gullveig Alliance soldiers were lost for words .  

Crushed to death . It wasn’t just one or two soldiers . As the soldiers were lined up in dense rows, the casualty amounted to hundreds .  

“Arghhhh!”  

The Valhalla artilleries were firing relentlessly, while the Webner Fighter Wing was still contributing in the battlefield .  

“A-Another one!” 

Someone shouted .  

“Fuck!” 

“Run!” 

“Forget about the positions, just run!” 

The Gullveig soldiers ran for their lives, breaking the line-up instantly .  

“Excellent!” 

Kwak Jung grinned from ear to ear .  

“Damn it… if only we had Hecate here!” 

The enemy was engulfed in chaos . If Hecate was around, she could have dealt a massive blow on the enemy as . . .

Waited long? 

It was at that moment .  

Kyaaaaahahahaha~!

A husky voice echoed throughout the battlefield . Hecate was finally making her appearance!
