I Am No King's

Chapter 264 – Inkompetent

The sirens sounded loud, making me stop for a moment. A few moments later, his voice stopped.

"My turn?"

"Yes, it's Lugalgin's turn."

I took one card from the right, from Rina's hand. Ah, I'm lucky. A black jack came out of my hand, gathered with the other cards in the center of the table. After that, I let Ami who was sitting on the left take one card from my hand.

Earlier, before the fight began, I had already arrived at a special room in the middle of the city, in the government office which was also the home of the powerful Count, who was a member of Akadia. Although abandoned, this place is still neat with all the luxury furniture and extravagance.

The main reason I was in this place was the security system of this city. On the right and left of the room, a large television set shows live cctv broadcasts across the city. So, I can keep an eye on the course of the fight from here.

After preparing everything, the door was knocked, allowing four people to enter. One, I did invite her to this place, princess Rina. However, the rest, I did not expect at all to come here? Who're they? They are Etana, Ami, and Gena the Mercenary. Both banished by his family, Etana and Ami no longer bear the family name.

The five of us sat at a table in the middle of the room. I faced the door because I had to watch the screen on the right and left. Etana across, Rina on the right, Ami and Mercenary on the left. The four of us played "Old Maid" cards". However, unlike the usual "Old Maid", we do not use the Joker. We take one card randomly from the stack and close it in the middle of the table. So, cards that have no new pair will be busted in the middle or end of the game.

Since you are familiar with Etana and her broad chin, I will focus more on the introduction of Ami. She is an old daughter....

"10 years!"

Ami connected and gave an answer.

Yeah, 10 years. I met him a few years ago, before Agade was formed. He had black round eyes that looked clear. With a face that is also round, this child is really cute and sweet. While playing cards, sometimes I pinched her aunt who was so soft and chewy.

In the past, she had a fair yellow skin color. However, after several years of living in a tropical country, the color of his skin began to darken. Although I said it was getting dark, his skin was still on the level of mature sapodilla, not rotten sapodilla let alone black. However, even so, this made his black hair inconspicuous again. Because of her black hair, I had thought she was a noble child. However, after I went further, it was not. His parents were just ordinary civilians.

In the past, thanks to the removal of control, he was ostracized by the surrounding community and eventually his parents threw him away. The neighbors regarded Ami as cursed and such. Fortunately, it wasn't until a year ago that I found it.

At that time, I was on a hunting mission. Target escaped out of town and went into the interior of the mountain. I went to the target's hideout only to find him dead. There, I met Ami who was wearing only a tattered T-shirt, holding a blood-soaked knife.

When I first met him, he was so wild. Even Ami was trying to stab me. His movements were very fast too. However, since the movements were simple, I was able to catch and hold it easily. Since she was a child, and I still have memories regarding the children of Sargon orphanage, I did not kill her, just trying to calm down.

After that, almost every day, I set aside a little time to meet him. Morning until noon at school, noon until afternoon to meet Ami, night to see Lacuna. Back then, I always used extracurricular excuses and playing with friends as excuses. I had never played before, because of the Alhold family, so I thought my father and mother were happy because I ended up playing. However, after the recent events, I started to think they were just letting me.

When he met Ami, he was able to speak quite fluently. So I concluded he was banished after reaching the age of 4 years or so. Once familiar, Ami began to tell me why he lived there. After that, I found a way to suppress Ami's power and send her out of this continent. Wh why? Because at that time I was still dealing with the Cleinhad family. I don't want Ami dragged.

Why am I saying all this? Effortlessly. Because all the things about Ami are related to the contents of our conversation with the four of us tonight. By the way, the maid who came with Ami was one of the mercenaries I used to pay to look after and raise Ami, her name was Gena. Yet, somehow, now she became a servant.

"Different from Kak Lugalgin who does not take care of Agade, Ami is precisely the spearhead of AmiAmi Corporation."

Ami gives the opening while letting Etana take one card from his hand.

"AmiAmi Corporation?"

Suddenly a multi-national company name appeared in my ear.

"Yes," Gena came in. "A few years ago, while raising Ami, I noticed she had a knack for problem-solving. With Ami's intelligence, I and several other mercenaries, whom you hired separately, cooperated and founded this company. Thanks to the direction and guidance of Ami, AmiAmi Corporation became a multinational company engaged in many fields."

"So, actually, I don't have to pay for your mercenaries."

Ami answered. "Actually yes, but because Lugalgin rarely called and checked Ami's situation, so Ami did not tell. But, since Ami had finally met and played cards with Kak Lugalgin, starting next month, Kak Lugalgin no longer needed to pay them. Ami can already pay them. Hehe."

"....okay, I don't have a reason."

"According to Ami's assumption, Brother Lugalgin is unlikely to be active in this fight. Thanks to the presence of Kak Rina, Ami estimates that brother will only invite him to speak, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

One of my fears happened. Not about Ami being the spearhead of the company, but to mercenaries who are paid to watch each other instead work together and deceive me.

"Dek Ami," Rina came in. "The current position of owner and CEO of AmiAmi Corporation, legally, is not Ami's deck. Is there a plan in the future to transfer the deck Ami deck name?"

"No want! Ami did not want the name Ami plastered everywhere or even scattered everywhere. Ami just wants to relax and play."

Truly Alhold's typical answer. At first, when I heard he was leading the AmiAmi Corporation, I wondered if he was really Alhold? There may be other incompetents that do not come from the Alhold family. However, after that answer, Alhold's blood clearly flowed within Ami's small and cute body.
