The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 269: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 72

"They're not dead though," Kayn shook his head.

"That's right, they were able to escape alive after leaving their subordinates alive," Maria muttered before her eyes widened in shock. "Wait! How did you know?"

Kayn immediately pointed at the bunch of snacks beside him.

"You…" Maria was in disbelief. "You didn't control them, right?"

"I didn't, I simply informed them of the truth and it was solely their decision not to establish an alliance with the Assembly of Freedom,"

"What truth did you tell them?"

"That the Levitation Scepter is no longer in the hands of Chief Kylo and that he also lost the Kingmaker,"

"Remind me not to make you an enemy in the future," Maria could only express his pity to the two Guild Leaders. Without them knowing, they've already become victims of Kayn. "Is this the reason why you came here?"

"There's more,"

Knock! Knock!

Despite the fact that there is still a customer inside Kayn's room, the bartender still welcomes two more others. This was only possible because the latter has already fallen into his charm.

To Maria's shock, two huge figures of the Assembly of Freedom walked inside the room.

Wesley and Christopher.

"Are you insane?!" Maria jumped in front of Kayn with a sword in her hand.

"Calm down," Kayn patted Maria's shoulder. "Look at their eyes,"

Following Kayn's instruction, Maria quickly noticed that Wesley and Christopher's eyes seemed to be blank and in a dazed state.

"You're controlling them?" Maria looks at Kayn in surprise.

"That's right," Kayn moved to the side where there are a bunch of snacks. "You both, start eating,"

Nodding their heads in acknowledgment, Wesley and Christopher started filling themselves with all the snacks on the table.

"But… wouldn't it attract people's attention that two huge figures suddenly came to this tavern?" Maria returned back to her chair as she watches Wesley and Christopher eating to their heart's content. She already knows that the two have fallen victim to Kayn's charm.

"That will be the case if I don't take control of this entire tavern," Kayn agrees.

In the next moment, Wesley threw a Storage Ring to Kayn.

Without much trouble, Kayn took out a bunch of items from the Storage Ring.

Hundreds of Undead Apples.

"Since Wesley can only use Undead Apples whenever he is away for a mission, it had accumulated to this much over time," Kayn muttered as he looks at the piles of Undead Apples. In addition to that, the strict regulation when it comes to Wesley, causes the latter to barely be able to make use of his Gift.

Technically, he wasn't completely lying back then when he informed Jericho and the others about being able to use Wesley's Undead Apple.

Since he and Wesley literally share the same Gift now, he can practically use the latter's Undead Apple without any side effects. And just like what they've mentioned before, he now can get two Undead Apples per day.

"Chief Kylo is a fool!" Natas shook his head. "If I was in his shoes, I would never make Wesley stay in the Freedom City, and instead I will allow him to travel all over 'The Bridge' to make use of his Gift to the best of its abilities,"

The most likely reason why Wesley's Gift was restricted this much could only be because Chief Kylo feared it. He is afraid that if he gives Wesley enough freedom, a time might come in the future when he will overthrow him from his throne.

Both Kayn and Natas understood this. But on second thought, this is only natural considering the very nature of the Assembly of Freedom. There's no telling when or where the members of this organization would suddenly feel the urge to replace their leader. Perhaps as a means to protect himself, Chief Kylo had to put serious regulations and restrictions on all their members that can pose a threat to his position.

Similarly to Gilbert, Maria can't help asking. "Are you sure that Wesley wouldn't be able to take control of our victims instead since we are using his Undead Apples?"

"I've already tested it plenty of times," Kayn assures Maria. "And besides, I don't plan on letting go of my control on Wesley,"

"Then what about his responsibility in the Freedom City? He is practically the one managing its entire operation,"

"Let's say that he got tired of it and left,"

"You plan on making him disappear?"

"He'll be staying with me and supply me with a steady source of Undead Apple. That's his purpose now,"

"The entire Freedom City would look for him,"

"They won't be able to find him,"

"That's impossible!" Maria doesn't believe Kayn.

"You really don't know how many people are under the control of Wesley, don't you?" Kayn smiles wickedly.

Now that he has activated his charm on Wesley, he now has a complete understanding of everyone that has fallen victim to the latter's charm.

"Nearly a quarter of the entire population in the Freedom City is under his control,"

Maria's eyes widened in complete disbelief.

"Now, as long as I make use of those people, Chief Kylo will never be able to find Wesley ever. The only way for him to find the latter is to do it personally,"

"You might as well say that this is the end of the entire Assembly of Freedom,"

"Not yet," Kayn shook his head.

He still hasn't seen everything about the Assembly of Freedom yet, so until then, he won't believe that he has already defeated the organization. Chief Kylo should still have more under his sleeves that made him keep his composure and confidence despite the fact of already losing the Kingmaker and the Levitation Scepter.

A man who has already lost a few things yet still continued to wage war only means that he still has more to offer. Or, it can also be that he is a complete madman.

But based on what he had observed so far, Chief Kylo isn't a madman. He might be mad, but he hasn't reached the point where he can't see reasons and understand the current weight of his organization of winning this war against Green Horn City.
