I Am No King's

Chapter 220 – No Options

~Yuan POV~

　

　

"Thank you, Yuan."

The Emir lifted Lugalgin while Mulisu pushed the new mattress from outside I ordered. Behind Mulisu, there was a black-haired father. He was wearing formal clothes and a white doctor's suit.

The Emir and Mulisu immediately lifted Lugalgin onto the bed. They also pushed the bed of Lugalgin and Inanna to be next to each other. When finished, the Emir again led Inanna to the bed, next to Lugalgin.

"So, can anyone explain to me what's going on?"

"So," I reported, "the house of Lugalgin was attacked, leaving Inanna severely injured. On the other hand, Lugalgin left, somehow, stopping the attack. And, in the process, killed almost all of Apollo's top brass."

"Almost all?" Mr. Barun interrupted for a moment.

"Yes, almost the whole." I took the smartphone out of my pocket. "There's Karla and her men who just happened to be not at the location. However, their time is not long. Right now, I am using the kingdom's intelligence information network to inform Agade, Akadia, and Guan. These three organizations were in the process of subduing and taking over all of Apollo's vital businesses and buildings.

"On the other hand, Quetzal is also moving, doing the same with us. As Quetzal tried to take over what was left of Apollo, Orion would not be able to trust them anymore, the opposition force split. With this, there are two possibilities. First, the war will intensify as it becomes 3-way. Second, the war began to dim as their strength scattered."

I finished my report to Mr. Barun briefly and concisely. It's normal for me to be formal and polite with my superior father. However, the result was not what I wanted.

Mr. Barun.no! Everyone in this room, the Emir, Inanna, Mulisu, and Pak Barun fell silent with gaping mouths.

"Ah, sorry. Maybe I was wrong for asking for an explanation" Mr. Barun responded while massaging his forehead.

Pulisu went in, "ah, Yuan, maybe you can talk with a shorter tempo and also give more details?"

"Eh? I'm sure Lugalgin always asks for this oral report format."

"Well....."

Everyone was massaging his forehead, not least Inanna whose face was already half-destroyed. I was surprised Inanna could still respond to my report given that she had such severe injuries.

"I'm sorry, but, maybe, the only ones who can receive an oral report as quickly and as densely as that are just Lugalgin and my wife."

"Ah, is that really so? I'm sorry then."

I slightly lowered my head.

"No, no. You don't have to apologize. You are Lugalgin's assistant, so it's normal to follow his standards" Barun commented. "After some thought, maybe I shouldn't know too much about this. Let your internal parties know. I'll go first."

"Eh, Om Barun, what about Lugalgin?"

The Emir stopped Pak Barun who was going to come out.

"Honestly, I don't know what I can do with Lugalgin right now. If I look carefully at his body, there is not a single external wound on his body, not even a bruise is visible. And, as I said before, there's not much I can do because Lugalgin's recovery speed will overcome everything without help. All he needs is rest. And, I don't want to see Lugalgin's body."

When I heard Mr. Barun, I felt like he didn't say everything. On the other hand, the Emir and Inanna bowed their heads when they heard it. They must be talking about something secret.

"In addition, I don't know what makes Lugalgin like this. So, I can't do much. And I'm not sure you know what Lugalgin's doing, am I?"

Mr. Barun throws a glance at me and Mulisu. However, we are not able to answer Mr. Barun's views.

"Sorry, Mr. Barun. Lugalgin promised to explain when this was all over."

Mulisu gave an explanation, which I thought, evaded.

Just then, as I was trying to access the video and satellite imagery in that place, all of a sudden the visuals disappeared. I took a look and found a virus in the network. The virus was new, but I was lucky because the infection wasn't severe. Nah! More precisely, the virus infection only occurs around crime scenes and satellite imagery, not elsewhere. Because of this, I was able to eliminate it and restore the visuals quickly. Unfortunately, the fight is over.

At that time, only Mulisu was with Lugalgin at the scene of the crime. At least, supposedly, he could give a brief testimony or testimony. However, it seemed that he himself was unwilling to pass authority and draw conclusions without Lugalgin's consent.

"Prepare as much food as possible. We don't want Lugalgin to suddenly walk to the cafeteria from hunger when we wake up."

Finally, Mr. Barun came out of the room.

"Well, I want a detailed explanation."

"Yes, so am I."

The Emir voiced the same opinion as Mulisu.

"All right, then."

The three of us sat on the sofa, between the window and Inanna's bed. Inanna was still up and sitting on the bed.

The first person to start was Mulisu.

"So, right now, Agade, Akadia, Guan, and Quetzal are snuggling up and trying to take over Apollo's vital object?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I don't have any definite information, just rumors because right now the information on the black market is falling apart. How's it?"

"It's okay."

"alright. First, some say from the beginning Quetzal did not intend to join the opposition. This is allegedly because during the previous meeting, Quetzal stated he only wanted to be a balance of power between the two factions. With Apollo destroyed, this balance was shattered. Since it was destroyed, Quetzal did what was normal for a black market organization, taking full advantage of the situation."

"It could be...."

Mulisu pensively after hearing the first possibility. After Mulisu, the Emir asked for an explanation.

"Then, second possibility?"

"The second possibility is that from the beginning Quetzal did go in to destroy Apollo. It is no secret that Apollo liked to have problems with other organizations. So, the reason for Quetzal being a counterweight is just a lie. The real reason was that they wanted to take revenge on Apollo."

"It makes sense too."

After Emir, replace Inanna who enters.

"Then, the third one?"

"Thirdly, Quetzal did not have any plans to participate in this black market war. They're just looking to make a profit on the ground, like a normal black market organization."

Before becoming Lugalgin's assistant, my job was to buy and sell information on the black market. Knowing this information is easy. In fact, I can say that Ibla who is rumored to be Agade's greatest source of information is nothing compared to me.

However, even though I am better than Ibla, it does not mean that I am more worthy of managing Agade. Having information and knowing what to do with it are two very different things. In that case, I can say Ibla is better than me.

At that moment, the smartphone in the grasp vibrated. I checked the notification and saw new information coming in.

"And, suddenly, Orion did the same thing. Well, no wonder anyway. If he still wants to continue this black market war, he needs as much supply and resources as possible, considering Orion will be alone against the three giants."

They didn't accept my explanation. There was doubt on their faces. What they doubt is not me, of course, but a confusing source of information. Let them not be, I doubt it.

However, what struck me was that they were still able to think calmly when they had just been attacked and even their leader was lying in the hospital. Normally, other organizations would be shaken for several hours or even days. I don't know if they are truly competent or just the existence of Lugalgin can be ignored.

At that time, Mulisu took the smartphone from his pocket. Since there was no sound, he must have made his smartphone in silent mode, just like me.

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Let's ask a question. Are Weidner and Shanna on the list of dead or survivors?"

"Attime,"

I typed the name I was looking for while Mulisu dictated letters per letter.

"They're both Karla's men. So, unfortunately, they're both on the surviving list,"

"That's it...."

Hearing my answer, Mulisu typed and sent a message.

"Ah, by the way about Karla, there are additional possibilities. Since Apollo was destroyed by Lugalgin, and the cause of all this was Lugalgin, there was a chance that he would seek information regarding his whereabouts and attack."

"attacked? Inhere? But this is a public place. A lot of people aren't involved with the black market here." Mulisu doubted my words.

"And do you think Karla would care? All this time, the one who was holding him back, was Apollo. With Apollo destroyed, there was no one to stop him. And again, he could have been quibbling, 'there's a general on the golf course, but Lugalgin killed him,'."

"Damn!"

"So, in my opinion, we better prepare for an attack from Karla and her men."
