I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 497 Fate? Nope!

With all the enemies dead, Sirius, Astar and the rest quickly got up and thanked Landon for saving them.

It's been 3 months since they've been chased nonstop.... and in truth, they hadn't slept comfortably for a long time.

At first, they were close to 150 men in their group... But the enemy had brought over close to 400 men to chase after them.

They had left Yodan with very little guards, so as not to raise suspicion or alert others of their whereabouts.

In truth, the enemies that followed them didn't belong to Duchess Ivy (former Queen Ivy) or Duchess Sedora.

No!

Those enemies had come from the most unexpected stepmother of all, Duchess Gilda... the 4th Prince's mother.

Ivy and Sedora's men had already fallen for his trap... and we're probably at one of his estates trying to kill him there.

But who would've thought that it was the innocent-looking Duchess Gilda who would be one step ahead of him and give him so much trouble?

Looking at it now, he was sure that once he died, Gilda would someone pin it on Sedora and Ivy.

From there, both of their children wouldn't be able to sit on the throne.

And with him dead, that would leave the only 2 choices being the 4th and 5th Prince.

If the woman had planned so much, then she would also have a way to get rid of the 5th prince... Making her son the only one eligible to sit on the throne.

Indeed, it was a well thought out plan.

But who would've known that they would be saved just when all hope was lost?

It has been 3 and a half months of continuous plotting, scheming, and attacking from both their sides and that of their enemies.

Finally, they could now get some sleep and continue their journey peacefully towards Baymard.

After all, they had been travelling in Arcadina all this while..... And were just 4 cities away from the place.

Now, it was time for them to see this city of magic.

.

"Brother..... thank you for saving our lives!"

I have to admit, you were really great out there!" Astar said with enthusiasm.

He called Landon brother because previously, Landon had called Sirius and himself brother as well.

So it would be rude to call him sir or mister again.

After all, looking at the man's face.... one can tell that they were all around the same age bracket.

None of them were even 20 yet, so he decided to just let it be.

"Brother, thank you for stopping that arrow earlier.... as well as saving my men," Sirius added.

"No need to thank me.

I was just doing what I ought to do." Landon said with a warm smile on his face.

"By the way brother, why did you decide to help us?

And while we were fighting, no one saw you arrive, so where did you come from?" Sirius asked curiously.

Why would this man go out of his way to try and save them at the risk of losing his life?

Even if he was extremely skilled, why risk it?

He didn't for one moment buy into that 'I'm bored' story.

For all he knew, this man might also be a spy as well.

His appearance on the battlefield was just too sudden.

Up until now, he still didn't know how the man actually appeared on the scene... And neither did any of his men.

Everything was just too suspicious.

Was the man originally from Yodan as well?

Landon saw through Sirius' suspicions and sighed.

As expected of a ruler.

Even if even one had dropped their suspicions about him, Sirius did not.

On the contrary, Sirius' guard went up even more.

Of course, he couldn't blame Sirius at all..... Because if it were him, he would think the Same too.

Nonetheless, Landon couldn't help but blame the system a tad bit.

Why would the system warp him directly into the battlefield?

Sure, he had to arrive on the scene at that time so as to stop the arrow from killing Sirius.

But wasn't that still too risky?

Luckily, everyone was bush warding off enemies, so they didn't have the time to notice it.

Or else wouldn't he have been either labelled as a God or a demon.

.

Landon looked at Sirius and smiled.

"Hm... I was only passing by, as I'm currently on a mission right now.

It's just that you all we're too engrossed with your fight, so none of you saw me approach the battlefield.

As for why I helped you all out, we'll..... It was because I don't like seeing good people get bullied."

"But how do you know that you're good?"

"I have eyes, don't I?"

--Silence--

The place into an awkward silence, as both men stared at each other unyieldingly.

And just when everyone thought that a fight would break out, both men broke out in laughter and patted each other's backs merrily.

Sirius laughed, as he realized that this strange man was exactly like him.

Don't ask him how he knew it, but people could recognize their kind right off the bat.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

Astar who didn't really get it, also joined in as well.

"Brothers!"

Everyone looked at the trio and couldn't help but smile and chuckle a bit.

It was good that their saviour and their king were on the same side.

"Oh right!

Brother, may I ask what you're called?

Aside from being my brother, you're also my benefactor.

So it's only right that I know your name."

"Yeah brother, tell us..... What's your name?"

"Sure..... why not?

I go by the name Landon Barn!"

"_"

'Hahhahahhahahhaha!'

Everyone laughed, and truly felt like this man in black was always a comedian.

Remembering how he angered their enemies to death, they laughed even more loudly than before.

Even Sirius and Astar were chuckling as well.

'Hahahhahahahaha!'

"Brother, why are you always joking?

Ah... You're really something else."

"Brother, I'm serious, what's your name?"

"For real, it's Landon Barn!"

"_"

"Wait!

Brother, you aren't joking?

You're really Landon Barn?"

"Yup!"

--silence--

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock, as they looked at him as if trying to decide whether he was joking or not.

Before Astar and Sirius could say anything, Landon had already taken out some things from his pockets.

"Brothers... I'm currently on a mission right now, so I don't really have much time.

But here are some V.I.P passes for you all to use when you get to Baymard..... luckily, I always move around with some.

Anyway, all you have to do is present it at the Port and the rest will be history.

In addition to that, when you all get into the city, give this to the hotel that you lodge in, and they will contact me... And I will send my men to get you secretly when you are all settled.

Also, I'll give you some Baymardian money for you all to familiarize yourselves with... As well as a document on our currency rates.

Alright brothers, I really must run.

Farewell!"

With that, Landon left as fast as he could... Leaving every time in a daze.

They looked at the disappearing figure and blinked their eyes again in shock.

What just happened?

Everyone crowded around and looked at the things in Sirius' hands curiously.

They looked at the V.I.P passes, and everything else that Landon had given them.... Especially the Bay bills.

What sort of money was this?

It was so thin, flexible and easy to carry around.

Looking at the conversion rate, if they held the equivalent amount in their pockets.... it would definitely be heavier than these Bay notes.

In short, these Bay notes were thin, light and very flexible to carry around.

What even shocked them the most, was the fact that Landon's face was on the 100 Bay note.

Goodness!

So their saviour was actually Landon Barn?

Everyone's blood boiled as they thought of his cool fighting moves.

Truly unrivalled!

.

Sirius smiled slightly, as he now looked forward to going to Baymard more than ever.

Who would've known that on their way to Baymard, they would meet the Baymardian king in the flesh?

Fate was such a funny thing.

[Landon: 'What fate?.. It was the system alright?']
