I'm the King Of Technology
378 True Face Revealed
Now..... let's begin the meeting shall we?"
"_"
.
Alec's face turned into a funny shade of red and green, as he looked at his unfilial son.... who had just adressed him as Mr. BARN.
Good!!!.... Very Good!!!!
He clenched his fists in anger and snorted, while making his way towards the massive round table at the side of the room.
Landon and the rest also stepped down from their thrones and also moved towards the table as well.
And when everyone was seated, the guards all left... and the lady who had led Alec in, quickly took out her book and signalled for the meeting to begin.
.
No matter how much Alec tried to convince Landon or even talk to mother Kim, he couldn't seem to get through to them at all.
If he had known that this whole meeting would've been a total waste ..... then he would've just sent his forces here ages ago, so as to teach these traitors a lesson that they'll never forget.
As a well-known tyrant, he had actually belittled himself just for the main purpose of getting Baymard.... since he thought that this method would be the easiest route, as it wouldn't require him to move his army here and there.
.
It was just that he was super confident in his scheme, since he had based off his plans with Landon's and Mother Kim's timid characters in mind.
Hence he didn't bother to bring an army, as he felt that he could successfully conquer Baymard.
But who would've known that after all his actions, they still didn't even fall for any of his traps.
And judging from how heavily guarded mother Kim and the rest were, he knew that he wouldn't be able to kidnap her anytime soon.
So he decided to drop his good guy act at once!!
Since they wanted him to be a tyrant, then why should he fail to meet their expectations?
He was done being nice!!
.
'Bang!!'
"Boy!..... I'll give you one more chance to take my offer.
You either give me 2/3 of Baymard ... or all of it!!" Alec said, with a cold smile on his face.
His change in character had utterly scared Mother Kim, Lucy Cary, and the other lady as well.
Mother Kim was once again disappointed with herself after seeing this.
.
Previously, she had also thought that Alec had changed.... but the only reason why she didn't bulge, was because she didn't want Lucius to think anything of it.
So she had planned to talk to Landon and let him forgive Alec later on.... after all, Alec was still Landon's father.
And when she thought about it more, could one truly hate their own child?
He had never thrown them out of the castle.... and had never actively joined hands with others to beat them, scold them or do anything physical with them.
So did he really hate Landon?
.
But of course what mother Kim didn't know was that back then..... Alec had truly forgotten that they had existed and nothing more.
And even the few times that he did, he had avoided them like the plaque..... since they were a taboo to him.
In addition to that, coupled with the fact thattheir home was even further than were the place servants lived... how could he ever take the time to move towards them?
He just didn't remember them enough to be bothered by their daily lives.
.
So mother Kim was utterly disappointed at how weak her heart was, as she had almost allowed this devil to plague her family once more.
But luckily for her, her son had stood his ground and revealed the devil's true nature before her very eyes.
.
As for Landon, Lucius, Eli and Connor... they had seen Alec's true face countless times, so his sudden change didn't come as a surprise thli them.
As far as Landon knew, even the few occasions that the old Landon had seen Alec..... Alec always treated him like an enemy.
So how could he not be aware of this beast's true nature?
.
Landon smiled and looked at Alec without even finishing.
"Ohh?..... and why should I give my land to you just because you said so?
In case you've forgotten, this land was given to me by a certain someone who said that they would never need it again..... just because the land was barren.
And now that I've developed it to this extent, you now want a share of it?
Hehehehehehe....
You Mr.Barn..... are fit to be a royal jester rather than a king!"
'Bang!'
"Boy!!!...
Don't test my patience with your silly remarks!
I had thought that you would be somewhat reasonable.... since you had just been made king here.
But who wouldve known that you are still as idiotic as you were when you were still in my palace.
Hmmp!
If you don't want a war between us, then quickly announce to the public that starting from today, Baymard will no longer be an independent empire.... but one that is fully controlled and managed by Arcadina.
And if you don't, then I will guarantee you that blood will be spilled!!"
--silence--
.
Alec sneered, as he arrogantly looked at Landon who was now as quiet as a rock.
'Tsk!..... Now you know fear?
Well.... it's too late for regrets!!
Didn't you want to show me that you're now grown?
Didn't you want to belittle me with this puny title of yours?
Boy.... you're too many years too early to start plotting on me.
Hmmp!!'
.
Alec continued looking at Landon provocatively, as he wanted to watch how Landon would beg him for mercy within the next few seconds.
In his own opinion, no one in their right frame of mind would still turn his offer after they were being threatened by Arcadina's army.
.
Alec was certain that Landon would decide to give up, as for sure..... they didn't have enough men to counter his attacks.
So with that assumption in mind, he kept on looking at Landon.... as he expected to see this unfilial son his drop down on his knees and beg him for mercy.
But of course sometimes..... reality was in no way similar to one's figmentative imagination.
.
"Mr. Barn..... like I had previously said, I will not give you any piece of Baymard's land.
So if you truly wish to spill blood, then please..... by all means, go right ahead.
But I can assure you Mr. Barn... it wouldn't be the blood of my people that gets spilled, but yours!"
"So that's the way you want to play right?" Alec said angrily.
"Or else.... should I just sit here and watch you bully me and my people as much as you want?
Now... Mr. Barn, as for the matter of the Arcadinian men that we had previously caught, since they came from your territory... once their court trial is over, then we will have a formal discussion about when and how much their ransom would be if you truly want them back in Arcadina."
.
Even though Alec had said that he didn't know those spies, Landon knew for sure that they had been sent by him.
But even so, the ransom and release of all Arcadinian prisoners had to be discussed with the ruler of Arcadina.
So Landon had no choice but to talk to this irritating blood father of his.
.
As for Alec, he truly couldn't understand why this dimwit of a son would create this court trial thing.
As king, he was the law... so why should he have to allow others have power over passing judgement in others?
What the heck was with the judge and lawyer system crap?
.
Back in Arcadina, even though the citizens were afraid of him.... they still had to line up in front of the castle every Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, to settle their disputes.
Alec had even settled land disputes, as well as cases like stealing chickens and so on.
It was something that reminded him that he had the power to crush anyone he wanted anytime any day.
So of course he didn't see or understand why this idiotic son of his would willingly give up his power to these judges in such cases.
It was just utterly stupid to him.
.
But nonetheless, eventhough he didn't truly care for those worthless fools who had failed their mission.... he still had to go, as he wanted to see what this court trial thing was truly about.
As for the ransom, he wasn't even willing to pay a single thing... as he quickly saw those men as bad investments.
In addition to that, seeing that Alec didn't care about whether those 7 men got released or not.... Landon quickly made up his mind on what to do with them after their prison period was over.
.
"Mr. Barn.... your audience time is up!
Please leave through the exit on the right!
Oh..... and see you at Court!"

--The Capital, The Empire of Terique--
.
Within the royal palace, a massive man who was currently being carried on a lavish looking golden chair... was lazily eating some fruits from a silver tray, while making his way into his sister's quarters.
.
"Little Sister.... you said that you had something that you wanted for your birthday.
So what is it?" Nopline said, while looking at his cute little sister.
"Brother.... since you're the most powerful man in the Pyno continent, I believe that this will be easy for you to give.
Brother..... I want.... I want...."
"Yes!... yes!... you want?"
"I want Baymard!"
