Chapter 171 - (Chapter 172) {Destruction of Hidden Land Village}

Scene: Inside a room in the Adhan Kingdom, Deku is sitting on a chair, and Indrah is standing in front of him.

(Indrah is the same person who made the Orc Lord attack Hidden Land Village.)

Indrah: My lord, you called me?

Deku: Yes. We are going to Ashram Land. Get ready.

Indrah: Beat Kingdom? But why?

Deku: Two reasons. First, I want the Hidden Land villagers' eyes. Last time I couldn't get them, but this time I will. Second, I want to bring the current King Dhara to my side.

Indrah: I see, but my lord, I am busy with the Dima Kingdom.

Deku: I see. Then call Shakal.

Indrah: Yes, my lord.

Scene: Indrah leaves. After some time, Shakal enters. He has elf-like ears and a dragon-like tail.

Shakal: My lord, you called me?

Deku: Prepare to go to the Ashram Kingdom.

Shakal: Yes, my lord.

Deku (thinking): Shakal is one of the generals of my army. Everyone knows that, but what they don't know is that he is half dragon and half elf. I created him using experiments. He has dark and black magic elements, and his skills are very powerful.

10 days later – Ashram Kingdom Palace

Deku is walking inside the palace with Shakal behind him. He stops in front of the throne where Dhara is sitting.

Dhara: Why are you here?

Deku: Oh, I came to make a friendship with you, King Dhara.

Dhara: Hmph! Don't talk about friendship in front of me. Tell me what you want and how it benefits me.

Deku: Hehehe… smart boy. So, King Dhara, I want all Hidden Land villagers' eyes—in short, I want all Bust Gun Eyes.

Dhara: And you think I will give them to you?

Deku: Not for free. That's why I want to support you.

Dhara: What do you mean?

Deku: I know you want revenge on those who killed the previous queen of Ashram Kingdom, Siny. I will support you with that.

Dhara: You're saying you will help me get my revenge?

Deku: Yes.

Deku (thinking): Now say yes…

Dhara: Do you know who is behind that assassination?

Deku (thinking): I didn't expect this, but…

Deku: Yes. The one who killed your aunt and Queen Siny is a private assassin of Primordial Red, Ms. Raimy.

Dhara: What?! Why would Primordial Red kill my aunt?!

Deku: I don't know. Maybe she thought Queen Siny was a danger to her.

Dhara: And how do you know that?

Deku: I have many spies who give me information from every kingdom.

Deku (thinking): This is my chance!

Deku: So, what will you say, King Dhara? Do you want my help or not?

Dhara: … (thinking)

Deku (thinking): He has to say yes. Even if he is a king, he is still a kid. How can he fight Primordial Red? Even adult kings can't.

Dhara: Okay…

Leader: How can you agree to that, my king?! He wants Bust Gun Eyes! How can we give him that?!

Dhara: What does it matter when those people can't even help us or protect themselves?! It's better to use their eyes for my revenge!

Deku (thinking): He is completely blinded by revenge. I should take full advantage of this.

Dhara: I agree with your condition.

Deku: Good! Very good!

Dhara: But promise me you will help me get revenge on that bitch!

Deku: Sure. I promise I will find everyone involved in that assassination.

Dhara: Thank you, King Deku.

Deku: (nods)

Deku (thinking): What an idiot… There is no way anyone can promise that and actually do it. I never said I would help him kill Primordial Red. I only said I would find those related to the assassination. Hahaha! If you want to be a villain, be a smart villain, not a joker!

Deku: So, King Dhara, when will you give me my Bust Gun Eyes?

Dhara: Wait at least 4 days.

Deku: Sure.

Hidden Land Village Attack

Ashram Kingdom's army attacks Hidden Land Village.

Village Leader: Why are you killing us?!

He is badly injured. All houses and villagers are already destroyed.

Commander: It's an order from King Dhara.

Village Leader: What?! Why does our king want us to die?!

Commander: I don't know. Ask yourself.

The commander cuts his neck, killing him.

Commander: Oh sorry, how can a dead person ask?

After a Few Days – Ashram Kingdom Palace

Dhara gives Deku a storage artifact.

Deku: What's that?

Dhara: It's a storage artifact. All Bust Gun Eyes are inside.

Deku: I see. Thank you, King Dhara.

Dhara: Don't forget your promise.

Deku: (nods and smiles)

12 Days Later – Adhan Kingdom Palace

Deku is sitting on his chair. Indrah enters.

Indrah: My lord, he is here.

Deku: (nods)

A masked man enters.

Masked Man: Where is my Bust Gun Eyes?

Deku gives him a ring.

Deku: Here. All Bust Gun Eyes are inside.

Masked Man: Okay.

He is about to leave.

Deku: Can I ask why you want so many Bust Gun Eyes?

Masked Man: It's a secret. And it's none of your business.

He looks at Deku with a sharp and dominating eye.

Deku: S-sorry, my bad…

The masked man leaves.

Indrah: My lord, are you okay?!

Deku is trembling from the pressure.

Deku: Y-yes…

Deku (thinking): He is too strong. I don't know his real identity or why he is doing this, but I'm sure he is planning something big… very big. (smiles)
