Chapter 47,

In a dark room, a few sporadic lights illuminated everyone inside. A large round table surrounded by six men who were deep in discussion.

"I can't believe that kid had such good luck! What a stroke of fortune!" exclaimed one rough-looking man, slamming his hand on the table in frustration. "He spent money like it was water, blowing through 15 million in just two days. Even I couldn't make a million in twenty years!"

"Now we have a chance to take all the money he brought," another man chimed in. "But his devilish nature is something else, just like Gubas was back in the day. He's truly your brother, Gubas, hahaha!"

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard about it too. That guy called Little Dragon, the Auron, is going around the streets pretending to be a dog," added another man. "Hahaha, didn't you do something similar in the past? Dragging someone's wife naked through the streets?"

This group of wicked men were discussing Mr. Cyclone's actions at noon, and the last person to speak up was none other than the leader of these demons, Gubas.

"Having a bad character isn't a problem... in fact, it's even better, isn't it?" Gubas stated, and everyone present gave an evil grin.

"Hey, Gubas, have you heard? The Ellen Army has left Arlen City and is heading towards Sunset City," someone mentioned.

"A joint military exercise?" Gubas asked.

"I've heard they're bringing 50,000 troops, it's quite a large-scale military operation," another person replied.

"Since this Mr. Cyclone has only met the King on the first day and hasn't been seen since, right?" Gubas asked.

"That's correct," someone confirmed.

Gubas took in everyone's remarks and pondered as he spoke. "I don't believe King Alan would just send him to bring back some money, especially given that all the funds belong to the Royanyan Clan..."

"So what? Sending someone who's obsessed with women, King Alan must be no different," someone else remarked.

"Indeed, on the first day, he only gave out 5 million. If we weren't sharp, we wouldn't even realize he brought 30 million with him!" another person added.

"Yes, yes! And he even wanted to keep 25 million for himself. Such greed, hahaha," someone laughed.

"Don't think too much like Gubas. If King Alan had any plans, he would have already taken back what he wanted from this trash. Hahaha."

"And the King's intentions are quite easy to figure out. With the Prime Minister dead and the sealing device for the Demon Army killed as well... the King must have something else in mind. The right of passage at the harbor, that's what it's all about!"

Although there should have been doubts among the people present, these doubts slowly disappeared or were guided in a specific direction. As a result, hidden mistakes and misinformation began to sprout silently, without anyone's knowledge.

Gubas took a deep breath. "A joint military exercise, huh?"

All eyes were on Gubas.

"I won't rest until I find out the true purpose of this kid coming to Sunset City," Gubas declared.

Suddenly, the door swung open.

"What? Are you trying to die? We're still in a meeting!" someone shouted.

"N-no, boss, th-there... that..." the intruder stuttered.

"What?!" the boss exclaimed.

Before anyone could react, Mr. Cyclone had already entered the dark room.

"Oh, brothers, your dear brother has come to see you," Mr. Cyclone casually greeted, leaving everyone speechless except for Gubas, who showed no signs of shock.

"Oh, hehehe~ Hello, Mr. Cyclone, how did you find your way here to see big brother?" Gubas asked.

"Haha, with the city almost under my control, how could I not know everything that goes on inside?" Mr. Cyclone replied with a wave of his hand, seemingly nonchalant.

But his words elicited a huge reaction from everyone except Gubas, who seemed unaffected.

"Oh, hehehe~ Big brother, haven't you heard?" Mr. Cyclone tilted his head, as if a question mark was floating above it. "Hmm? You didn't know?"

Of course, he didn't know. In fact, everything Mr. Cyclone said was made up."This gift is just a way to draw a line with Sunset City, right? When the Grand Chancellor was here, he ignored our pleas for help. Who wants to befriend the idiotic King of Sunset City?"

"Oh~"

Gubas let out a meaningful sound. Mr. Cyclone caught on and continued to exaggerate.

"So, King Alan sent me here, hoping to seek your help... in taking over this place~"

Once the seeds are properly planted and nourished, they will grow uncontrollably.
