Traveling Across Worlds, Beginning with The Irregular at Magic High School
However, it absolutely does not include the country of Aldikia, which is why middle-aged people reject the ideas of young entrepreneurs.
"Not necessarily. Don't forget that the Prison Barrier holds many high-ranking criminals, and that 'Witch of the Void' seems to be quite close to this Spirit King."
Those words were a wake-up call!
A single remark from the young entrepreneur jolted these members of the Lan Yu Faction awake.
"That's right, in that case, it is indeed a possibility."
"Then things are getting a bit tricky!"
What should we do?
"No True Ancestor had expressed interest in this island before, but now—!"
All the members of the Lan Yu Faction present frowned, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that what the young entrepreneur said made sense.
Because in their view, Island of Gen'ei represents more than just the island itself.
Other things shouldn't be able to attract the attention of someone with True Ancestor combat power. From another perspective, the island is just a side benefit, which is a more reasonable explanation.
Lan Yu Xian Zhai also seemed interested, clearly believing that this explanation was highly likely.
He tapped his finger lightly on the wooden tabletop, producing a crisp tapping sound.
"Quiet down! This possibility is quite high. So, if that person is interested in Island of Gen'ei, what do you think we should do?"
Lan Yu Xian Zhai looked at the young entrepreneur with great interest.
The others present immediately stopped their discussion and, like Lan Yu Xian Zhai, turned their gazes to the young entrepreneur.
"Yes, Lord Aiba!"
He accessed a file on his phone, then picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the projection screen.
The image projected above is of a man suspended high in the sky.
As the man whispered something softly, a thick, misty chill emanated from his body.
The white fog swept across the turbulent coastline, skimmed over the pristine white sand, but deliberately bypassed Island of Gen'ei, the closest island to it.
"This is footage I captured from a satellite, showing a portion of His Spirit King's battle during the Feast of Blazing Light."
"So what do you mean? Are you trying to tell us that this person is powerful and that we shouldn't even think about resisting?"
The white-haired old man frowned. Although he understood that this was the truth, he still felt uncomfortable being told it so bluntly.
To everyone's surprise, the young entrepreneur shook his head and, amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, continued speaking.
"No, what I mean is that this Spirit King is different from the other True Ancestor in character. At least compared to the other True Ancestor, he still retains goodwill towards humanity."
"And then, continue."
Lan Yu Xian Zhai clicked his tongue, his interest growing stronger.
"Yes, Lord Aiba!"
"There is another thing I would like to say. This Spirit King came to this world four years ago, and Aldikia immediately accepted him and submitted to him."
"During these four years, the Lihavain Royal Family continued to rule Aldikia, and there was no change of power."
That's all I wanted to say.
After the young entrepreneur finished speaking, he sat down and did not say anything more.
From this perspective, the young entrepreneur's statement just now was definitely not a spontaneous remark, but rather something he had prepared in advance.
The people present weren't fools. If they still couldn't understand what the young entrepreneur was trying to say after the example of Aldikia, they would never have become high-ranking executives at Island of Gen'ei.
Bang!
"Not bad!"
Another crisp sound of slapping the table rang out, and the middle-aged man's eyes lit up immediately.
"I've long harbored many grievances against the Japanese government. Why not take this opportunity to directly pledge allegiance to this Spirit King? Then we'll have a powerful backer."
"Furthermore, making a decision early will give us a higher standing in the eyes of His Majesty the Spirit King, allowing us to suppress the Yase Faction or even kick them out of the decision-making circle."
The middle-aged man spoke passionately, spitting out saliva continuously from his mouth.
"Don't forget, the Lihavain Royal Family offered their daughters to that man as wives. Who knows if they've maintained their royal status because of that?"
The old man glanced at the middle-aged man and spoke with a contemptuous tone.
The middle-aged man was stunned, and his animated gestures stopped abruptly.
At that moment, the young entrepreneur's voice came again.
"Kazama, we also have a woman here who can rival the First Imperial Princess of Aldikia!"
Lan Yu Xian Zhai was still savoring what had just been said, suddenly shuddered, because he realized that all the members of his faction were staring at him.
Damn it, the daughter of a councilor from Island of Gen'ei is definitely not qualified to rival Princess Aldikia's status.
The only one comparable to him is his daughter, Aiba Asagi of Priestess of Cain!
Damn it, isn't this pushing his daughter into a fire pit?!
However, seeing how enthusiastic his own faction members were, he couldn't bring himself to directly refuse.
Even he had to admit that if things could proceed as the young entrepreneur suggested, it would indeed be a good approach.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said.
"No matter how we think about it, the most important thing is to first meet that other emperor and figure out his intentions."
"Aiba is right. So how should we contact His Majesty the Spirit King?"
"There's no other way. The Void Witch, Nangong Natsuki, happens to be my daughter's homeroom teacher. So, I'll contact Nangong Natsuki and request this meeting with the Spirit King!"
Lan Yu Xian Zhai spoke in a low voice.
To demonstrate the sincerity of the Lan Yu Faction, only he, as the highest-ranking officer of the Lan Yu Faction, was qualified to hold the meeting.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Aiba!"
All members stood up and bowed slightly to express their respect.
