I Am No King's
Chapter 96 – Awaited Attacks
[Your guess is correct, Ukin came in wearing a wolf head mask, disguised as our member.]
I smiled at the knot after reading Ibla's message.
Right now, I'm sitting on the balcony of the hotel. Even though Aunt Filial was a concubine, she already had no more treasures. His residence as an embassy was not too big. Maximum, he can support me, Emir, and Inanna. However, with father, mother, and Ninlil, it is not enough.
So, the final decision, Ninlil stayed at the house of aunt Filial because she still wanted to play with Ninshubur. We, the rest, stayed at the hotel. Mom with Emir while I'm with dad.
Back to Ukin. I don't know for sure what Ukin's motive was to throw Illuvia into the black market. Rather than Ukin, I thought there was someone else behind him. Ukin is the type who does not like to think. In the past, he had only relied on Lacuna's instincts or orders. However, just by his instinct alone he could already be the biggest threat to us.
If Ukin bothered to disguise himself as a member of the Agade, there is a possibility that one day he will call my name as the murderer of Illuvia Nerras, destroying my image and credibility.
Another question that pops into my head is why is he showing up now? Why not from before? And why through Illuvia? And why use Sarru's identity? So many questions but no answers.
Even if Ukin found out I was Sarru and the founder of Agade, he should not have known that Illuvia had a relationship with me. In other words, the brain behind Ukin is the one who knows or knows me well.
Since I won the battle royale, the Emir came, went to Mariander, and Inanna came, information about my life must have been spread. Journalists even had time to publish educational track records and interview my friends, ranging from Elementary School to High School.
If that person and Ukin work together, it's only a matter of time until my identity as Sarru is revealed. If all that comes out, including everything I've done on the black market, I wonder what my life will be like.
Yes, if it really happens, I just live it. There is no point in thinking about it now.
"Gin's."
"Yes?"
I responded to the call of father that appeared to the veranda. He sat next to me. We were separated by a small round table. I put two cans of beer on the table.
"Dad sure gave me a beer? I'll be angry."
"Hahaha, it's okay. Just brush your teeth tomorrow morning and eat a lot of mint."
I accepted Dad's offer and downed a can of beer.
"Gin, I want to talk to you, seriously."
"....yeah?"

~Written POV~
"Hello, Ukin, long time no see."
"Hello too, Mulisu. I thought you were retired, like Lugalgin."
"Not really. I'm just moving under the radar. And again, Lugalgin is back."
Right now, the two of us were facing each other in front of the room where Illuvia was being treated. The distance that separates us is just a few steps. Our clothes were similar, black robes with red lines. Just a different part of the mask. Ukin wore a dog head mask while I wore a fox mask.
Currently, Lugalgin made Illuvia as bait. When I said as Feed, Illuvia's security was completely unguarded. If Lugalgin really cared about Illuvia, he would move her somewhere hidden, or even give her a celler at the Agade headquarters. Butno. Lugalgin was worried that if Illuvia was removed, Ukin would not attack.
Instead, Lugalgin told me to face Ukin. With ease, even over the phone, he said "i want you to face Ukin, dig out as much information from him as possible. I wonder who he's working with". In addition, he said, "If you've faced you, I doubt that Ukin still wants to kill Illuvia. Yeah, maybe he is. Haha,".
In preparation, I placed one centipede inside Illuvia's room and waited in the side room. Although Ukin did not emit any killing intent or bloodthirsty aura, I could tell that he was close, just like if Lugalgin was close.
The three of us were trained by Lacuna and have been together through dozens of jobs. Of course we are able to recognize each other's existence.
"So, are we going to fight here?"
"Hehe, hahahaha," Ukin laughed out loud.
Normally, if you laugh out loud in the hospital, in the middle of the night, there will be a nurse or a patient's family showing up, asking you to be quiet. However, that would not happen to Ukin. Without the need to emit killing intent or bloodthirsty aura, his mere existence had already made the feathers of a normal person goosebumps. Unlike me where people will only feel half uncomfortable or with Lugalgin who does not emit any threat at all. I hate to admit it, but that's the power of Ukin's control.
If Ukin's main control was just generic iron control, like Ur, I wouldn't have had any problems. The main control of Ukin is two types of iron, ferum and aluminum. The control of these two irons is what makes Lugalgin say that Ukin is talented.
In the past, Ukin was too arrogant and only willing to control pure ferum or aluminum, without a carbon mixture or anything else, making his handling less threatening.
Still in the past, even though the control was simple, the magnitude of the control was not something that could be underestimated. If he wanted to, he could lift the building by using his control on the iron poles that became the frame.
However, this time, I'm not sure Ukin is still the same as he used to be.
"I thought you'd ask us to fight somewhere else. I mean, you were the one who convinced Lugalgin to set up Agade for those people. Otherwise, he would never have looked at those people. You yourself know that he is far more cunning, vile, and cold-blooded than I am."
Yes, the Lugalgin that used to have all these properties. In fact, sometimes, I still wonder if Lugalgin who is able to show affection to the Emir and Inanna is the same Lugalgin as the old Lugalgin. But I have to be sure.
"No! Lugalgin has changed. He's not the same as he used to be."
"Is that true? Then, why is that woman still in this room?"
I was unable to reply to Ukin's words.
As Ukin said, Lugalgin did not hesitate to use Illuvia as bait. And Ukin also knew the nature of the Lugalgin. And, although I also know him well, I don't want to admit that he's still like the old Lugalgin.
I hope that, after getting to know Agade and launching his revenge, Lugalgin will become more tender and understanding. Simply put, have more feelings.
"Then, if I may ask who you're working with."
"Hihihi, I expected. You'll know it right away."
"of course. Make this woman a fake Sarru, run a fake Agade, and lure Lugalgin into appearing. I'm sure you're not the one who came up with the plan. I mean, you don't like strategy and cunning, do you?"
"Hahahaha, that's right. You're correct. If you really want to find out, try to force me."
