I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 99: THE END OF THE TRAITOR

The faces of the 4 people on the train turned as white as paper, but they had made this plan as best they could. Even they had already used the Grol Inn as a distraction for the Bare troops, but they never thought that Elos still managed to capture them.

Elos looked at the 4 people coldly "At a ministerial level even though he can still commit this crime, it seems that Yezi who is in charge of leading the ministry cannot choose the right person as minister!".

The minister of finance was a cat-man wearing a luxurious robe like a noble, he pointed at Elos with his hands already trembling in fear "How is it possible? How do you know we're the ones leading this smuggling problem?".

Hearing that, Elos said coldly again "This is all because of your report at the meeting when I just arrived in this city. Though there was this smuggling incident, but as ministers then you do not know it is very strange. As finance minister, you should know that the amount of taxes received by our kingdom is decreasing, especially the tax minister who takes care of this trade tax issue directly".

"You should have known about the oddity of the declining tax due to smuggling, but you did not report any problems to me during the meeting. In addition, as the minister of entrepreneurship, the permission of all businesses or shops in the Animal Man Kingdom must go through your ministry first, therefore you should have known about the peculiarities of the Grol Inn and reported this matter to me".

"But you 3 ministers who should have known, did not report anything to me. This only means 1 thing, you either take bribes that keep you quiet or you are too stupid to understand about this weirdness, I'm sure Zeyi will not choose a fool as a minister. So there is only 1 possibility that still exists that you accept bribes as well".

"If you 3 chief ministers work well and do not take bribes, this smuggling incident will never happen. It seems that I will have to be more careful in the future, I will have to create a group that is in charge of keeping an eye on the higher-ups so that today's events don't happen again!".

Everyone who listened to Elos' analysis felt shocked, however they never thought that there was such a gap.

The tax minister who was an ape man stood up before shouting "This is all your fault! If we ministers get a better salary then none of this will happen! Compared to the money the traders from the Federation of Traders would give, the amount of salary we received was simply not appropriate! When we succeed in doing the task this time, each of us will get 1000 gold coins, whereas our salary each month is only 1 gold coin. If we try to collect 1000 gold coins for a minister's salary, it will take us 1000 months!".

Elos drew his sword without hesitation and pierced the tax minister's heart "Then? You ministers may not have much to pay, but your family's food and transportation is fully paid for by the government. Besides, you have great power in your hands".

"Do you think a monthly salary of 1 gold coin is cheap? You never thought that the salaries of the soldiers were just a few silver coins each month, even though they fought life and death on the battlefield against the enemy, but they still pay less than you ministers".

"In addition, our new kingdom is established, after the kingdom becomes more prosperous then your salary also increases. But you are too greedy, not realizing that your greed can harm many people. I don't need people like you, rather the government of the Animal Man Kingdom doesn't need you, therefore you can die now".

Elos draws his sword from the body of the tax minister, after which the body of the tax minister falls to the ground and dies. However, he was not a soldier, so in the face of Elos' sword attack, he could not live anymore.

After killing that tax minister, Elos kept his sword before turning around to go "Lumina, you can solve this matter! Everyone must die, no need to bring them back to the Capital of Dyremann to be punished".

When Elos was about to leave with Riona and Kronev, the entrepreneurial minister who had not spoken from earlier finally ventured to speak angrily towards Elos "Tiran, you are a tyrant! Someday, the sky will surely punish you! A person like you is not at all suited to be a leader!".

"Is that so?" said Elos, at the same time a powerful death aura emerged from his body. He stared back at the entrepreneurial minister with very dark eyes "If the sky will punish you then I only need to destroy the sky first, that way then the sky will not be able to punish me!".

The finance minister and the entrepreneur who would scold Elos instantly fell in fear of the aura of Elos, only the representatives of the smuggling traffickers were still standing.

He looked at Elos with eyes mocking "You think nothing can beat me in this world? Does victory against the Ray Kingdom make you arrogant? Elos, let me warn you that your strength is nothing in this world. Let alone destroying the heavens, even in this world there are countless people who are much stronger than you! As long as the Merchant Federation moves then you must be dead!".

"Then let the Merchant Federation come, if the warriors of the Merchant Federation had already stomped their feet on the land of this Animal Man Kingdom then they should be prepared to not be able to return again to their original lands, then they should be prepared to not be able to return to their original lands, all the enemies who came to the Animal Man Kingdom were doomed to die. Lumina, don't let anyone live!", said Elos who walked away with Riona and Kronev.

3 The man kept shouting that Elos was a tyrant and that he would one day get his reply, but Elos did not pay attention to the 3 men again until Lumina killed them.

As Elos was walking towards the other chariots of these merchants guarded by soldiers, a soldier approached Elos while saluting "Master, sir, we found there were about 100 slaves in all of these trains! Most of these slaves were beautiful women and strong warriors, they had the most expensive price so these merchants decided to only take them while the other 900 slaves were left in the Grol Inn".

Elos nodded to the report "Come along with this horse carriage, we will return to the Capital of Dyremann".

"Mr Elos, the latest report!", cried a soldier who ran towards Elos and saluted.

"What's the matter?" said Elos who looked at the soldier.

"In the last train there were 7 slaves of different ages, we could not see them clearly because they were in prison and we had not found the key to open the prison. But from the actions of these 7 slaves, it seems that they are sick" the soldier said.

"These merchants brought sick slaves?", asked Elos strangely.
