I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

“And yet here you are throwing them right and left as you are throwing candies!”

“I have power here, you don’t!”

“Let’s see if you want to add the Toranks in the basket, adding a more ferocious enemy to your shortlist if you touched a hair of mine!”

This was Hye’s guarantee. The entire universe knew of his dealings and tight relations with the Toranks. He wasn’t that sure if the Toranks would risk a war against this world for his sake. But he had nothing else to bet on.

“That’s the same thing I’m here for,” Terrance finally showed his real intentions, “why not ask your friends to come and help us then?”

“What for?” Hye was straightforward about his answer, “you have to give them a good reason to come.”

“You are enough,” Terrance seemed to stick to his threatening methods, even if they failed to achieve any result yet.

“I’m not something they will accept,” Hye shrugged, “I’m basically under their wing. Why will they come and risk such a war for someone who is already theirs?” he paused, and before Terrance would add any stupid comment again, he slowly added:

“Not to mention if you dared to touch me, they’ll come and rampage this world.”

“No one is strong enough to take down my world!”

“Then stop acting like a pussy and start preparing for war,” Hye continued to walk away, “and stop such foolish games. I’m sick of you already, so find another one to deal with me.”

He directed his last words not to Terrance, but to the ones watching all this. He didn’t need to ask anyone to know that this meeting was arranged and watched by this world’s leaders.

They were worried about the incoming war. And that told Hye how big the upcoming war was going to be.

“The bigger, the better,” he evilly laughed inside himself whenever he imagined how big the next war would be. His intentions were grasped right by the owners of this world, but what could they do about him?

He had the Toranks empire behind him, and they already had the Hescos as their top enemy. So, it wasn’t a good situation they’d dream to see themselves facing by joining these two opposing races together as their enemies.

Hye knew they wanted to lure the Toranks in to relieve the expected pressure over their world. “Even if you are successful and strong, merchants always think about limiting their losses and increasing their gains, tsk!” he mulled about this while walking out from this place.

This time, he didn’t need to take any tunnel to go out. The corridor he walked through took him outside, without wasting any of his time.

“You are finally here,” as he just came out, he saw the exhausted face of the lady nymph in front of him, “we need to hurry and leave this place. A big thing is going to happen!”

“I know,” Hye wasn’t as concerned with this war as she was.

“Why are you acting like this?” she was startled by his cold and uncaring response. But as she was carried out by what just happened to her, she missed a few tiny, and yet very important details.

“Because it’s futile to try and leave this world in legal ways,” Hye rolled his eyes, and yet his words held a hint that the lady nymph grasped.

“Oh, that’s why you were interested in those…”

“Yes,” Hye interrupted her as he knew the two were closely watched, “but let’s postpone anything for now. I’m sure we will be watched.”

“Tsk! I never thought we would run into a prison when we came here.”

“Don’t say it like that! I gained lots of things in return, hahahaha!” He recalled the lots of things he brought while being in that auction. The staff alone was enough to boost his confidence in dealing with anything unexpected.

Even if he failed to find a way to contact the smugglers, couldn’t leave this world before war, then it was nice to say hello to the Hescos and collect their bones once more.

After all, they were still his enemies. And in the middle of the chaos erupted by such a brutal war, he’d find a way to leave this world and go far from here.

The two moved back the same way they came from. None tried to stop them on their return, but it was clear how nervous everyone was.

They all acted as if they were in the presence of someone of power, or someone dangerous. Many watched him in particular, as if they were asked to watch every single move of him.

Hye didn’t care about them, but the general atmosphere made the lady nymph a bit nervous. As they went away from the entire zone they were in, the lady nymph turned to him as she asked:

“Now what? Do we need to rent a room at a hotel or something?”

“No, we are going to visit more places,” Hye didn’t like the idea of resting, not when a war was heading towards him.

“Now?!!”

“We need to stockpile, make more connections.”

“And attract more attention to us, right?” she rolled her eyes, “why do I feel like you are a magnet for trouble? Huh?”

“It’s just a gift,” he shrugged, looking around as he decided to visit other merchant families before times of war. He already emptied the stores of one family, and there were still more to empty their pockets out of crystals.

He wanted to amass enough, enough to arm up his grand army of warriors he carried with him all the time. Like this, even if he had to get into the war, he’d be more than ready for his enemies.

The lady nymph couldn’t help but succumb to his wishes. The duo went to another place ruled by a different family, ending up experiencing the same.

They kept moving from outer sectors to the deepest one. Hye thought they’d meet up with the leaders of this family, or someone like that princess and Uncle Lam. But they only met with simple merchants.
