Chapter 148
Chapter 148 . Finding the Perpetrator . BANG!
The armrest of the throne Kang Chul-In sat on shattered into pieces, unable to withstand Kang Chul-In’s force . magic
“ . . . Kidnapped?”
At such a ridiculous event, Kang Chul-In was unable to come to his senses immediately .
“Someone kidnapped my daughter…”
Kang Chul-In’s eyes started to glow with anger .
“What dog-like bastard dares to kidnap my one and only daughter?”
Though it was a deep growl, the sound seemed as if it came from the greatest depths of hell . Even though Kang Chul-In hadn’t shouted, one could tell how angry he was through his eyes .
“ . . . ”
No one spoke .
What kind of disaster was this?
The princess of the Laputa territory was kidnapped?
This was one of the worst things that could happen to them .
To Kang Chul-In, Arshelly was one of the only existences that made him show his caring, humane side . To kidnap her was suicide . Kang Chul-In was someone that would kill not only the main perpetrator, but also the others involved, including their entire families .
“Podolski . ”
Kang Chul-In called Podolski with a low voice .
“Yes . . . Milord…”
Covered in blood, Podolski barely managed to answer .
Even though he was covered in injuries and it seemed like he would faint at any moment, Podolski resisted the urge to lay down .
This was his responsibility and duty as the subordinate of Kang Chul-In .
He had to say what happened, even if he died from the injuries; even if he died due to Kang Chul-in’s hands .
“Who was it?”
“Milord…”
Podolski kneeled .
“T-This one was unable to identify the exact identity of the perpetrator…”
“You don’t know?”
“Please kill me!”
It meant that they had been attacked by people they didn’t know . “So, you don’t know who they were…”
“Yes, milord… Urk…”
Podolski coughed out blood .
“Speak . ”
But Kang Chul-In didn’t seem to care about whether Podolski was coughing up blood or not . All he wanted to know was what happened .
“Tell me what you saw, heard, and felt . Without missing any details . ”
“Yes, milord… Kuhuk . ”
As Podolski tried to bow, he nearly fell on the ground . It seemed that he had reached his limits .
“Milord!”
Alfred, who had been standing nearby, came forward .
“It seems difficult for Sir Podolski to make a full report in his current state . Let this old man help Podolski quickly recover so that…”
“N-No, it’s okay . ”
Using his near super-human mental fortitude, Podolski stopped Alfred from helping him up .
“It was when we had… arrived at the river . ”
Podolski tiredly started to explain .
----------
Arshelly and Podolski had woken up extremely early, before traveling for around 5 hours to get to a river in the north . “Wow!”
Looking at the beautiful carp, Arshelly gasped .
“It’s a very beautiful and big fish! I’m so happy! Now I can cook this for grandmother to eat!”
“Haha! Congratulations, prin…”
As Podolski was laughing and congratulating Arshelly,
BANG!
A terrifying explosion sounded,
“Agh!!”
And with a single scream, a soldier fell down .
“ . . . !”
At an unexpected ambush, Podolski quickly turned his body .
-------
There was nothing much that happened afterwards .
All that happened was that a small army had attacked them, and they were defeated .
“Milord…”
Podolski called Kang Chul-In, tired .
“The leader of the kidnappers… The princess’s magic didn’t work against the person at all… All the magic . . . Me and the soldiers tried to protect…”
Podolski stopped mid-sentence multiple times . It seemed that he would soon die of blood loss .
“And?”
Kang Chul-In added .
“Under… the commands of the princess… this subordinate came to report… to Milord… the princess… has used a spell… that transported her into another… pocket dimension…”
“Is she safe?”
“She said… she could last… for at least a week…”
Podolski started to gasp for breath,
Tuk .
And fell down on the ground . He had fainted after fulfilling his duty .
“Alfred . ”
Kang Chul-In said .
“Quickly heal Podolski . Make sure that you definitely save him . ”
“I will gladly comply, Milord!”
Alfred quickly left the hall, carrying Podolski .
“Huu…”
The only sound that could be heard in the silent hall was Kang Chul-In’s cold sigh .
“All troops . We head out . We go north . We will head out and take the life of the perpetrator that kidnapped Arshelly . ”
The orders were strange .
How could they go north and catch the person behind this when they didn’t know who the perpetrator was?
“I know who it is . ”
“Sorry?”
Kwak-Jung answered .
“I know the person who kidnapped Arshelly, so just listen to my commands and don’t ask any more questions . ”
Kang Chul-In pointed towards the map showing the Ishtar region .
“Over here . ”
A territory located at the extreme north . It was the territory of the current 19th Ranked Lord, Sheville Polanski .
This lord that had the ability to turn all magic into nothingness had also been conquered by Kang Chul-In in the past .
“This stupid bastard was the one who kidnapped my daughter . ”
Bang!
The soul core of Laputa in Kang Chul-In’s hands smashed against the area that Kang Chul-In was pointing at .
“Until I take the head of this ignorant bastard and get my daughter back, I will not stop . ”
Kang Chul-In growled ferociously .
