He naturally couldn't shift his affections, but no matter what, he couldn't deny that the girl before him was even cuter than the one he loved.
Damn it, a monster in human skin, don't think you can make me fall.
Even though he had surrendered, Leopard still insisted on maintaining his resolve.
“I heard the conversation about you through my insects... the girl you're pursuing is the daughter of a viscount, right?”
“Yes.” Kahn felt somewhat ashamed.
Truly, being publicly humiliated by the girl he loved made him feel as though he had lost all dignity.
But then, he saw the gap between them.
Having lost his love, he had spent his time drowning his sorrows in alcohol. His will had gradually eroded until he felt that life was no longer interesting.
He had even considered disbanding his adventurer group.
“Not everyone who surrenders to the Zerg is accepted. However... I will give you a chance.”
Xia Jin suddenly waved her hand, and fifty zerglings along with ten hydralisks moved to her side.
“Take your adventurer group and these swarms to that viscount's home. I promise you a status higher than his, at least higher than that viscount. You can try to continue pursuing her. Of course... if she rejects you, you must ruthlessly wipe out her family. You can choose a few people to spare.”
A faint smile appeared on the girl's face, and her tone was quite cute, but the devilish, slightly wicked aura in that smile made Kahn's heart tremble.
He lifted his head and nodded deeply. “No problem.”
“Good, go then.”
...
Kahn set out.
Along the way, there was indeed no danger.
If anything, all the powerful experts on the road had already been dealt with by the Zerg.
The viscount's territory was a rural estate.
Golden wheat was planted here, and a farmstead was connected to his main residence.
Although he was a minor noble, it was clear that this was no ordinary viscount.
“No wonder...”
He faintly understood why she had looked down on him.
Such vast farmlands stretching beyond the horizon and such a high class palace were things he could never hope to reach.
But thinking carefully, she had turned on him the moment she learned of his situation despite their supposed love. Was that kind of love even love at all?
He arrived at the scene with complex thoughts.
“Captain Leopard, shall we go in now?”
The vice captain, who had been summoned, asked very seriously.
“Wait a moment. Let me adjust my mood.”
Kahn took a deep breath. Not many people were willing to follow him this time. After all, he had surrendered to monsters and acted so pathetically. Out of this group of over thirty people, only six remained behind him now.
These were true brothers.
But that didn't mean the other twenty four brothers were wrong.
His actions were not only a betrayal of the kingdom but also a betrayal of his own race.
But it didn't matter. When he saw that woman clearly, he stopped caring about all of it.
A few minutes later, he led the vice captain to the front of the luxurious manor.
Directly knocking down the guards at the entrance, the group burst into the hall.
“What are you doing?”
The viscount sitting in the chair slammed the table heavily and stood up.
The young girl elegantly enjoying a meal at the dining table put down her wine glass. After exchanging a glance with the young man opposite her, she turned her head with a smile. “Oh, Kahn, why are you here again? Didn't I already reject you? Barging in here to cause trouble is making things very difficult for me.”
Kahn felt a stabbing pain in his heart seeing the attitude of his former girlfriend and seeing that she had immediately invited another strange young man to her home.
Perhaps at this moment, he let go of his last shred of longing.
However, before that, he needed to see if she was truly the kind of person he suspected.
“Meta, I have achieved your requirements.”
“Oh?”
The woman was surprised. She gave him a serious look, compared him with the elegant man opposite her, and suddenly giggled. “Kahn, you're not as handsome as others. Besides, his father is about to be titled a new Count. Why do you think you can compare to him?”
“Titles, power... is that all you see?”
Kahn was completely disappointed.
Could the vows of eternal love really be changed so easily?
If she looked down on him, she should have done so from the start. Why deceive him for so long?
“You're wrong.” The man replied with great elegance and composure on behalf of his girlfriend. “The fundamental reason is that I am superior to you. It is as simple as that.”
“Heh!” Kahn gave a bitter laugh.
He understood.
“I understand now...”
His gaze suddenly became firm, even showing a hint of decisiveness.
“Since that's the case, I won't have any more delusions. Meta, the one who truly doesn't deserve the other is you!”
With a wave of his hand, the swarms that had been waiting outside immediately rushed in.
“What are these monsters? What have you done?” The viscount stood up in shock, finding that these terrifying insects were slaughtering the guards in the hall without a word.
There was no mercy.
Meta screamed.
But she soon realized that such screams were unnecessary.
Because she was perfectly fine, and her father and boyfriend were fine too.
The swarms spared them.
But besides them, everyone else in the family was wiped out cleanly.
The zerglings knelt before Kahn.
“You... these are Zerg, why would they kneel...” The viscount recognized them at a glance and found it hard to believe.
“Hahaha!”
Seeing Kahn turn and walk out the door, the vice captain laughed wildly. “You fools! The kingdom is about to perish, and Captain Kahn is highly valued by the Zerg Queen. His future is limitless. What is your daughter's beauty or status compared to the existence that controls the entire northern kingdom and a massive area of the Border Forest? Even the Zerg Queen thinks our Lord Kahn is great. Meta, don't you think you have a poor eye for quality?”
“Wh... what?” Meta slumped into her seat, dazed.
A zergling nearby wobbled its leg, nearly failing to keep a straight face.
...
“This guy.”
Xia Jin watched this scene with a smile.
Originally, she thought about having some modified person come out to help play out a scene like the Return of the Dragon King or some hidden powerhouse, then delivering a public slap in the face to make it a satisfying drama. It would also reveal the message that surrendering to the Zerg was very promising.
The script was arranged that way.
But god damn... this guy was even better at posturing than she expected.
