Chapter 725: Impersonator & Failed Attempt
Chapter 725: Impersonator & Failed Attempt
The next morning arrived quite fast. Well more than due to time, it was due to how tiring it had been during the night, extracting information from the idiot he was impersonating.
It took him quite some time to finally resort to the information he received from the poor 1st grade Mayor, and especially the information about the situation of the two countries.
Even though this guy was only a 1st grade Mayor, due to his special background he seemed to have a bit of information over the situation.
And according to his knowledge, the two countries could be thought of as extremely linked ones, despite the rumors and the situation they presented.
In fact, there were rumors among the big families that the two leaders of the two respective countries had a special relationship among them, being brothers or something close to that.
Even Tianlong Yun had to admit that these guys were extremely good as they had been able to keep this a secret to the eyes of the outside world.
This was truly a great piece of information that not many people could come across, and he was wondering for how much it would sell!
After all, what he wanted right now was nothing short of chaos and mud all over the planet. Surely many innocent people would get involved in this, but he had to do it.
Furthermore, he was already thinking of giving them a helping hand when the time arrived. Whether they would decide to grab that helping hand or not, it didn't depend on him.
Well now it didn't matter much, what was important was that despite what it looked like to the outside, the base he was in was nothing short of just an extra cage inside the tiger's den.
Meaning that if he played his cards right, he would be able to not only handle the situation and create a stronghold for himself in this country, but also with the neighbors.
As for the reason of the marriage between him and the vice-general lady, was that Young Master, who clearly had quite the say in the current leadership, as he could make the assistant of a Vice-Marshal propose for him.
It was at this moment, that the informer finally arrived, and as he was walking through some documents around the office, the secretary knocked on the door,
"1st Grade Mayor there is a courier from the Capital here to deliver important news!"
"Let him in!"
The courier was wearing the outfit of a low officer, but his handsome face, his sharp countenance, and his aura made Tianlong Yun look deeper into this guy.
He was nothing normal, furthermore, why would they send this sort of man to be a courier for such news, some things didn't make sense!
"What news do you have for me?"
Pretending to not 'sense' and 'see' the deliberate aura that the guy was trying to spread with his presence, Tianlong Yun spoke in a neither overbearing nor humble voice.
"I am here to notify 1st grade Mayor that your arranged marriage with the vice-general has been voided!"
"Oho~! Really!? Who exactly said that? Are you sure that this isn't only your wish and not the real information?"
The courier seemed to be quite surprised that the 1st grade Mayor in front of him not only didn't lose his composure but also taunted him back directly.
The truth was that he wasn't the true courier, he had apprehended and killed the real one on the way while taking his place.
As for the reason why he had come here, was to make sure that he angered this guy to attack first, cleanly take care of him, and then make it look like he had done so in self-defense after a prank gone wrong.
What he hadn't expected was that the Mayor would thwart his whole ingenious plan with a few lines, making him angry and not knowing how to continue!
"1st grade Mayor, what do you mean? Are you trying to reject the news from the Capital!?"
"Come on man, you should think these things through! Right now you are here just as a low-rank officer bringing news, a letter, you can't hold accountable a 1st Grade Mayor, right?
It can't be that this is your whole plot, is it?"
"How dare you insult the Grand Marshal in front of me, I will take your life!"
With that said he brought out a sword out of nowhere, and immediately made it to cut towards the 1st grade Mayor's neck.
Tianlong Yun didn't even bother to fight back, even if the situation seemed extremely risky, it wasn't.
Even if that guy attacked with all his strength on the line, he still wouldn't be able to even make a scratch to him.
"Are you over with your games now!?"
"Why!?"
"My office room and every moment of my life are observed almost 24/7! I think they even do it when I go to the toilet!
Do you think that I would give in to such childish taunts!? Even though I don't understand why, or how you fell for that woman, it doesn't matter shit to me!
I will marry her and put her under me soon! Now are you over with this little play!?"
"You You will regret this!"
The poor intruder couldn't do anything but say those words with a dark and chilly voice that would make everyone feel a cold run through their backs.
Unfortunately, the person in front of him was someone that didn't care a shit about that threat, as he just look at him with a mocking expression and said,
"With only you? You aren't worthy of it! Now, if you are over with your little play, we would love to show you our dungeons!"
"What!?"
"Killing a courier who was in official duty, impersonating the said courier, threatening a higher officer, and attempt of killing the said officer!
I am sure that you will have to suffer quite a bit in the dungeons!"
"You dare~!?"
"And why wouldn't I dare!? Are you my brother-in-law or something!"
As Tianlong Yun said that the door to his office room opened and three big, sturdy-looking soldiers entered inside while saying,
"Brother we would love to invite you to our abode for a tea!"
It was quite weird hearing something like that from a brawny guy, but Tianlong Yun just enjoyed the show without saying anything.
"Hmph~! You dare to ask me a Colonel for tea in the dungeons!? You have grown that ballsy!?"
"Might I remind the Colonel that no one is above the rules and regulations of the military! You have no other choice!"
"You think too highly of yourself!"
With that said he quickly emanated the aura of a mid-level Boundary Ascension Realm expert, and immediately run towards the trio coming for him!
'Boooooommmmmm~!'
What he didn't expect, was that despite their figure and build, these guys were nowhere close to his level, so one normal fist was enough to send all three of them flying, covered in broken teeth and blood.
It was quite the view!
But Tianlong Yun wasn't worried in the least, as this was what he had wanted to happen from the start.
Right after two experts came out from the corners of the office room, each of them having an aura not less than the Colonel!"
"Youngster, forgive us for the pain you are about to suffer, but you messed with the wrong person!"
As a Young Master from a big family, it was practically impossible for the 1st Grade Mayor to not have a few good guards as he was staying on enemy grounds.
"With only yo"
But before he could say a thing, the second guy appeared behind him stealthily and knocked him out! The performance had finished so quickly, making even Tianlong Yun a bit unhappy.
Still, he didn't seem to care much and long about it, as he said to the two guards,
"Take these three to the infirmary, while sending this idiot to the dungeons! Let us see whether his love is reciprocated, or unrequited!"
The two Elders seemed to have been used to this side of their Young Master and quickly did as they were told.
They were both great experts but in front of their Young Master, they were nothing more than butlers and servants.
The news spread like wildfire through the camp, a traitor had impersonated a courier and had even tried to kill the 1st grade Mayor.
Many soldiers were angry at the breach of security and the bastard that dared to act like that against the 1st Grade Mayor.
Well, the majority of them were paid and bribed from the 1st-grade Mayor's residence to do so, while trying to influence the general soldiers at the base.
In a short time, even the Generals heard of this news and were forced to make an appearance, especially the vice-general lady, she was the first to arrive in front of the 1st grade Mayor.
The moment she arrived at the office, Tianlong Yun didn't even get up from his seat, as he looked her right in the eye and said,
"I didn't expect you to be here so soon dearie! I imagine that you are as excited as I am about the news from the Captial, pushing our marriage so soon!"
"Where is he!?"
"Where is who!?"
"Stop playing dumb, tell me where is he, otherwise don't blame me!"
"Blame you for what love? Betrayal!? Cheating!? Unfaithfulness!? There is still a long list to go!
Furthermore, aren't there other things that you should care more about at the moment? Like, what would happen if there is word of a special relationship between that guy and you
