Cursed Immortality

The incident with Tiger's Den wasn't something that could remain hidden.

Some of the neighbors around Jacob's mansion witness the entire incident played out with aghast expressions.

No one thought a B-Rank Mercenary, the symbol of power in the Humane Kingdom, would die so tragically.

But the biggest news out of it was the possibility of an A-Rank expert present between humans!

In this state of hopeless war, this news was like a windfall for the Humane Kingdom. Because if this was true and they really had an A-Rank expert amidst them, then trolls would be the first ones trembling in fear.

One had to know between the three kingdoms, there wasn't a single A-Rank expert present, and neither did they know about the existence of Dark City.

Very soon, this news spread like wildfire from lion street to lionheart city, then within half a day, the entire Gloria Country was shocked.

In one day, Jacob's existence was known to every person with status!

Since no one knows his name, everyone starts calling him Silver Tyrant because of his eye-catching hair color and for his tyrannical display with Tiger's Den.

Rumors have it that the Silver Tyrant would crush anyone's heart who opposed him with his bare hands, while he was also a debaucher, and every night he slept with hundreds of women.

The proud daughter of Duke Riley and the most beautiful woman of the Humane Kingdom, Alice Riley, was captured by Silver Tyrant and now had become his personal slave.

More and more exaggerated rumors spread between humans and Silver Tyrant became even more famous than the war between the two kingdoms!

The throne hall of the Humane Kingdom Royal Palace was bristling with activities at this moment.

Just a day ago, this place was gloomy because of the impending danger of trolls.

However, today the atmosphere was filled with hope, and many high-ranking officers who were secretly planning their desertion were also present. Even some already deserted nobles were back.

On the golden throne, a handsome middle-aged with long, shining golden hair supporting a matching golden crown was sitting with an expressionless face while his light blue eyes have a hint of exhaustion.

He was the third King of the Humane Kingdom, King Philip III!

With a platform below Philip, sat three prices and a princess as well as their mother, the Queen Consort. The entire main royal bloodline was present today!

There were also two tall men clad in golden armor standing right behind the King's Throne with expressionless faces, but the aura they were giving was extremely imposing.

Philip slightly nodded his head while looking at the bristling throne room.

The next moment, the royal guard behind him loudly stated, "In the name of his Majesty, I command everyone to be reticent!"

The next moment, the entire throne hall fell into silence, and they all looked toward their King with myriad emotions.

They all knew today was going to go down in the concise history of the Humane Kingdom.

Philip expressionlessly scanned through the entire throne room and looked at every person present today.

Many nobles lower their head when they felt Philip's cold eyes on them.

Philip, however, didn't bring up those skedaddle acts and looked at the burly man who has a fierce face and sat straight at the very front of the left row.

He impassively asked, "Marshal Galant, you have a report to make, I presumed?"

Marshal Galant was the strongest person in the Humane Kingdom and the commander of the Royal Army. He was even more respected and famous than the Humane King!

With Galant's prowess, he could've easily dethroned the Grover Family from their royal status, but he was always faithful to the crown.

Not only that, but he was their biggest supporter, and that's how the Grover Family was still in a commanding position, or with rising powers of different factions, the Grover Family would've lost their hold on the Humane Kingdom long ago.

Especially the Riley Family under Philip's younger brother's control.

The Riley Duke not only roped in the B-Rank Samuel into his household with his charming daughter, but that daughter was extremely talented, and she was very close to entering the B-Rank herself.

It could easily upturn the entire Humane Kingdom's political structure. However, now…

Galant politely replied with a complicated glint in his eyes as he looked at his King, who seemed to have grown older after the last time he saw him.

"Your Majesty, this subject indeed has an important report." He took a deep breath and continued, "The trolls suddenly stopped attacking our borders and even abandoned our already conquered cities and territories last night. Right now, their armies are on standby at their border. While we also noticed all the B-Rank trolls were summoned back to protect their King. They're even willing to talk now…"

Galant was really marveling right now as he reported these astonishing reports. It was like he was repeating a dream. He never thought that the stubborn troll army who wanted to exterminate every human backed off because of a simple rumor…

Philip didn't have any emotions when he heard it as if has expected this.

He said with acerbity, "All of this just because… Silver Tyrant's appearance, yes?"

The entire throne room was deadly silent when they heard this name. They all knew about it before coming here.

The trolls retreat because of the possibility of an A-Rank expert appearing amidst humans, it might change the entire power structure of the uncommon region.

Although it was still unclear why the Silver Tyrant showed his face only now, one thing is clear, just his presence was enough to make humans the strongest power between the three kingdoms!

At least that is what everyone in this hall thought.

That's why some cowards dared to crawl back from their hideouts.

Everyone knew things were going to change in a very prominent way for humans!

Galant sighed and lowered his head before he said, "Yes, your highness. Both goblins and trolls were now secretly inquiring about Silver Tyrant, and many spies were found."

Galant was also one of the few who know just how difficult it was to enter the A-rank and what kind of status these beings had in the rare region. He was a reserved member of Nightmare Knights Legion, and he wasn't even qualified to become a full fledge member.

Now, this A-Rank expert appeared out of nowhere, and he also was quite young. He was really baffled by this news and almost spat blood in frustration.

He was used to revering by everyone here, but after the Silver Tyrant appeared, those who knows about his prowess no longer looked at him as an absolute being anymore.

Even he's also afraid of Silver Tyrant because he clearly knows how difficult it was to beat Samuel even for him, but this monster killed him like he was killing a chicken.

Many people witnessed this scene while the entire Tiger's Den powerful experts were working like constructors at Silver Tyrant's place obediently. There's no room for doubting this information.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a great resemblance to Philip stood up with a grave expression on his face.

He said while deeply looking at Philip who was already expecting this, "My King, we all wanted to hear, what is your stance on this matter?"

Philip's lips suddenly rose slightly into a mocking smile. "First, I want to hear Duke Riley's stance. I heard Silver Tyrant kill your 'Son-in-Law' as well as enslaved your cherished daughter, and many terrible rumors about her are all over the kingdom. Do you intend to march your army there and seek justice? If yes, I'll lend you a hand, since she's my niece as well."

Everyone's expression stiffened when they heard this and lowered their heads.

If there were another hot topic besides the Silver Tyrant, then it would be Alice Riley.

She was already crowned as the kingdom's most beautiful woman, and now she was raised to be a mere slave of Silver Tyrant.

It was an enormous blow to her and Riley Family's reputation.

Duke Riley's expression went rigid when he heard this, and clenched his hands tightly.

How could he not want to march his entire army there and save his daughter?

But whenever he thought about how dangerous that fellow Silver Tyrant was that even Samuel was toyed to death by him. He felt chills on his spine and didn't dare to think of revenge anymore.

Although he had ulterior motives when he sent Alice to the Tiger's Den company to win over Samuel, Alice had proven to be as talented as Samuel in these years, so he no longer belittled his daughter.

However, Samuel had gone and sought his own death, and now Alice fell victim, and he could do nothing, which made him indignant.

He suppressed his urge to punch his brother in the face, and stiffly said, "I won't dare to cause my King trouble. It's Alice's fortune to catch the interest of our Kingdom's first A-rank expert."

A ruthless glint shimmered in his eyes at this moment, "Now, I would like to know how my King will approach Silver Tyrant!"
