"Did you plan all this? Did you make us attack the Royal Tutor?" Wu Xun asked Long Chen straight away as he walked beside him.
"What do you mean? I donât understand what youâre trying to say," Long Chen acted surprised as he asked Long Chen.
"The reason we attacked the Royal Tutor. It was because of Long Chen, which means you. You came to us, claiming that you want Revenge on the Aksha Kingdom, and you know about their plan to attack us. You also told us about the mystical ring theyâll use to attack us. Donât tell me it wasnât you and someone else was using your name since you are the one that profited from this war the most," Wu Xun explained, glancing at Long Chen.
"Your reputation of a savior rose. Instead of the Traitorâs son, you became known as the one that saved the Royal City. Surprisingly, the king gave you the throne before he left to join the war, but he hasnât been seen since then. It all seems a little too coincidental, donât you think?" He continued.
"What youâre talking about does seem shocking. Who would pretend to be me? How can two people have the same face, height, hair, and body shape? It sounds so impossible. If what you said is true, that means there is someone else who looks exactly like me. He can be a problem. We need to find him," Long Chen exclaimed with a surprised look on his face.
He knew that he went to the Sunai Kingdom with a fake face, so Wu Xun canât be sure it was him. He was probably bluffing to get him to tell the truth. Long Chen didnât use any abilities that he used in front of the Dragon Squad after that either. He was sure that he left no link between the two behind.
"No, he didnât have the same face. He looked different," Wu Xun replied, shaking his head.
"What? So a stranger came to you and said that heâs me. Believing his words, you caused a war? Sigh, youâre really naive. You shouldâve done some research on how I look. If what youâre saying is true, then someone fooled you. I still canât understand why someone will go that. Maybe he actually wanted the destruction of the Aksha Kingdom, but I saved him. When did you last see him, and how did he look?" Long Chen inquired.
"I last saw him when I was leaving the Royal City for the border. He was supposed to be leaving with the second squad to surround the Royal City of Aksha and take over it," Wu Xun explained. "As for his looks, he had a round face. His lips were thin, and his eyes were blue in color. And..."
Wu Xun described the looks.
"Wait, I remember someone like that. What you describe sounds exactly like the person who was leading your attack in the Royal City of Aksha before I joined the battle and killed them all. If I knew he was impersonating me, I would have kept him alive to get some answers out of him. Too bad weâll never know why he did it," Long Chen lamented as he sighed.
"Anyway, we donât need to find him, though. Thatâs good," he continued as he patted the shoulder of Wu Xun.
He turned back to leave.
"Oh, wait. I forgot," he suddenly muttered as he turned back to glance at Wu Xun.
"I wanted to talk to you as well. Thatâs why I stopped you here. In your concern, I forgot about it entirely," he muttered as he smiled.
"Itâs about the Dragon Squad Members that are in prison. I want you to convince them to support us since everything is already over now. If theyâre not ready, kill them. If you canât even do that, Iâll do it myself. I donât want any threat to the stability of this Kingdom that has finally gained peace and hopes of no war," he told Wu Xun.
"Thatâs all," he said as he turned back and left.
****
Two days passed away, and it was finally the day of Coronation.
A big stage was prepared at the border that seemed very grand and luxurious.
Long Chen was sitting on his throne. Wu Xun and Vermillion were standing on his right side and his left side.
Many of the guests had arrived, and many were still coming. Kings from the nearby Kingdom had also arrived to greet Long Chen. Both, Aksha Kingdom and the Sunai Kingdom were two giants that could crush any kingdom. Their merger was enough to create a godly kingdom that was even more powerful, and it was the Coronation of its King.
None of the neighboring Kings wanted to be disrespectful to the person who was technically the most powerful being on this continent.
One such king had just stepped out of his carriage with his son.
"Weâre going to meet the King. Make sure youâre not disrespectful, or our Kingdom can be wiped out if that man is offended," the King seemed to be teaching his son as he walked towards the area where Kings and their families were supposed to sit.
"Donât worry, father. Iâll treat him like a god. He might even ask you to allow him to adopt me. Say yes if that happened," the chubby young man who was the son of this King replied as he laughed.
"Cough Cough!" He was laughing when he started coughing as if he had choked. It all happened when he saw the person sitting on the Throne.
"T-that boy is the King?!" he asked the King with a pale face.
Slap!
The King slapped the back of the head of the young man as he started scolding, "Shut up! Youâre already being disrespectful to him! Didnât you hear anything I said? Heâs not someone you can call a boy!"
"Heâs the King of this new Supreme Kingdom," the King explained.
The Chubby Man became even paler as he heard that. He couldnât help but remember the time when he met Long Chen. He couldnât believe he told the King of this Giant Kingdom to move aside for him.
â I even called him poor. Heâll kill me! I canât let myself be seen,â the Young Man thought as he covered his face with his hand.
Long Chen was sitting on the throne, watching the guests. His eyes suddenly fell on the chubby man and saw him hiding his face.
"Hahahaha, interesting boy indeed. Does he think hiding his face can help?" He laughed out loud as he saw the young man.
"Vermilion. You see that King there? Call him and his son to us," he said as he looked to Vermillion.
" Yes, Your Majesty."
Vermilion stepped down the stage and walked over to the father of the Chubby Man.
"His Majesty wishes to meet you and your son," Vermilion told the white-haired King.
"Ah, Right away. It would be my pleasure," the King said, smilingly as he stood up.
"Why are you still sitting like a shy lady? Come and meet His Majesty!" the King told his son, who was still sitting, hiding his face.
"Ah, Iâm fine. You go and meet him," the chubby man replied, shaking his head.
A frown appeared on Vermilionâs face. The King noticed it and started getting worried, thinking that he might be offended if his son kept refusing to meet Long Chen as it would be considered disrespect to the new King.
"You idiot, stand up! Stop being a shy kid. Not meeting His Majesty is disrespectful! You are coming with me to meet him this instant!" the King let out as he held the hands of his son and pulled him.
