Man on the ark, forced to become king

Negative emotions, when translated into actions, manifest as extreme violence.

Before setting off, they had obtained permission from the military, and the officers naturally had no intention of holding back, as that would be disrespectful to their own lives.

He couldn't care less what the officials above him were thinking; ensuring the safety of himself and his subordinates was the most important thing.

"Sir, everything seems normal?"

Following the officer's hand gesture, the squad halted about 100 meters from the headquarters building. The soldier operating the reconnaissance drone hesitated for a moment before reporting in a low voice.

"Ignore it and keep moving forward."

In fact, even without him saying it, the officer himself could see everything inside through the glass from this distance. The personnel inside did not seem to have any intention of evacuating. Apart from not being able to contact the person in charge of Rhine Labs, the entire headquarters seemed to be operating normally.

This is very strange. Don't they know what's going on at their own headquarters?

Why wasn't even an evacuation of people carried out?

Furthermore, apart from the beam of light just now, there was no obvious external damage to the building in front of us.

So, did the experimental subject really go berserk? Or is there something else going on?

The officer was somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, he decided to negotiate with the Rhine Life personnel first. If the situation wasn't as bad as he had anticipated, that would be the best outcome, and all of them could return safely.

Boom!

Just as he was about to order the squad to advance, the ground suddenly shook, and a man wearing rather 'ancient' armor descended from the sky, smashing a crack into the solid concrete ground.

"Sarkaz?"

The officer's first reaction was to order a state of alert.

It is common knowledge that anything associated with the Sarkaz is never a good thing.

This guy is very likely the culprit behind this accident!

"If I were you, I wouldn't point a weapon at other people indiscriminately."

The pink-haired man had a cold expression, and the black and red cloak behind him fluttered in the breeze, revealing the gold-stamped pattern on the side.

“You are not qualified to speak to me. Call your officer, soldier.”

"You...you are?"

Some things cannot be imitated, such as the unique temperament of those who have long held high positions.

And that emblem...

The officer had a vague suspicion in his mind, and he became much more careful with his words.

He wasn't a brainless brute; in fact, to survive in Colombian cities, the ability to assess situations is an essential skill.

The tone and the aura of the man before him were fundamentally different from those Sarkaz mercenaries he had encountered before.

With everything still unclear, he chose to play it safe and avoid offending people unnecessarily.

“My name is Theresis, Regent of Kazdel.”

Introducing himself would undoubtedly be a bit of a letdown, but Therese didn't care about that and didn't care much about formalities. His eyes swept over the Colombian elite squad, and a faint aura of authority enveloped each of them.

“On behalf of Kazdel, I request to speak directly with your highest-ranking officer.”

Representing Kazdel? Official dialogue between nations?

The officer was startled, but secretly relieved that he had reacted quickly enough and hadn't done anything excessive.

Although Kazdel's reputation wasn't great, it was still a country with a vast territory, and a mere officer like him couldn't afford to offend it.

Regardless of whether the man claiming to be the Regent of Kazdel was telling the truth, or how he ended up in the heart of Colombia, those were matters beyond the reach of a nobody like him.

"This...please wait a moment, I will report it to you right away."

As the officer spoke, he waved for the squad to retreat and began contacting his superiors.

……

A moment later, accompanied by the roar of an engine, a military off-road vehicle drove up from the distant blockade line, and an elderly Rupo officer stepped out of the vehicle with a serious expression.

"Hello, Your Excellency Therese. I am Sarocá, the head of the Trimont City Security and Defense Committee, and I extend my warmest welcome to you on behalf of Colombia."

With pink hair, the sharp, vertical horns characteristic of Sarkaz royalty, and a physique and appearance identical to those recorded in intelligence, coupled with that inimitable aura of authority, at first glance, Sarokha was almost certain that the person present was indeed one of the legendary leaders of the Sarkaz.

However... Kazdel is quite far from Colombia, separated by four countries: Casimir, Vitória, Letania, and Syracuse. Why would their leaders suddenly appear in Colombia?

This matter is full of mysteries when examined closely.

Prior to this, they had not received a single word about the regent. Were the border guards and the CIA just a bunch of good-for-nothings?

Sarok was furious and felt very troubled, but he had to deal with it carefully.

Strictly speaking, his status was not high enough to allow him to speak with the regent on equal terms. However, there was no one of higher status in Trimont, and it was unrealistic to immediately contact someone of sufficient qualifications. Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and be forced into the position.

"No need for pleasantries, I have no interest in your rhetoric."

In contrast to Saloka's caution, Therese showed him no mercy, crossing her arms and with a chilling expression, she went straight to the point.

“I discovered some of the remains of the ancestors of the Kazdel Royal Court inside Rhine Lab. Rhine Lab used the remains of my ancestors for human experiments. Columbia must give me an explanation for this!”

Remains of the ancestors of the Kazdel royal court? Human experimentation?

Upon hearing Theresis's question, Saloka was completely stunned. After recovering, she almost lost control and started cursing.

If possible, he really wanted to drag all the top executives of Rhine Labs over and crack open their heads to see what was inside.

Those idiots! Trash!

All that money is swallowed up every year, and this is the result we get?!

It's one thing to have no impressive experimental results, but how could you conduct human experiments on the remains of the Sarkaz's ancestors and still be discovered by the Sarkaz on the other side of the continent? And the person who discovered it was none other than a heavyweight figure like the Regent?

Now there's no chance for them to even make excuses!

Desecrating the remains of one's ancestors is a very serious matter in any country on the continent, and this time it involves the royal court of the Sarkaz!

Let alone the Sarkaz, even if this happened to the crocodile people of Sargon, they would still have to raise a large army and fight Colombia in a real battle!

Sarok even suspected that if the regent had the ability to contact Kazdel from here, would Kazdel's army already be preparing to assemble?

Although Colombia is very far from Kazdel, separated by several countries, the Sarkaz are a bunch of lunatics!

Sargon's chieftain is difficult to deal with, but at least he can reason with people; the mad Sarkaz, however, won't care about any of that.

Suicide attacks, assassinations, ambushes, explosions, Originium contamination—there's no destructive method a human could imagine that they wouldn't dare to use!

Too far away? Difficult to deploy a large army?

If you really anger them, those reckless Sarkaz lunatics will walk all the way to Colombia to fight them, even if it takes two legs!

They don't even consider the gains or losses, or whether it's worthwhile to do so!

The thought of the Sarkaz's past madness gave Sarokka a terrible headache, and he quickly reassured him, "Your Excellency Regent, I think there must be some misunderstanding about this."

"Please believe that Colombia is an absolutely just, orderly, and peace-loving country. We have always been committed to maintaining peace and stability on this land and will never engage in any heinous acts that would damage the friendship between our two countries."

“I saw the evidence with my own eyes.”

Therese's expression remained indifferent, and his cold gaze made Saloka somewhat uneasy, inwardly cursing the head of Rhine Lab a thousand times.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Even if there was one, it was Rhine Lab's own initiative. We were unaware of it and never approved Rhine Lab to conduct any forbidden human experiments. As you know, there will always be some crazy people who disregard the law and try to evade supervision. We will never let such things go unpunished!"

"Please believe that we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

“I will report this incident to the Senate immediately. Please come to the city hall so we can discuss it in detail.”

As she spoke, Saroka led Therese to the car, making a secret gesture behind her back with one hand.

Clear the area, destroy the evidence, and eliminate all relevant personnel who have knowledge of the incident—leave no one alive!

They've done this kind of thing many times; they're very skilled at it.

There's no time to consider why the Regent of Kazdel is here now. The immediate priority is to find a way to delay the Regent and figure out how to quell the situation.

Then the CIA will gather intelligence on Kazdel. If it's confirmed that Kazdel hasn't made any moves...

If necessary... we could consider keeping this regent in Colombia indefinitely.

It's never as efficient to agonize over how to quell a conflict as to directly address the person who caused it.

They are also good at this kind of thing.

No matter how powerful the regent's military might was, he couldn't make a fuss on Colombian soil.

"kindness."

Therese maintained her aloof expression as she followed Saroka to the car, inwardly sneering but showing no sign of it.

Colombia's international reputation is not much better than Kazdel's. A little thought, based on their past behavior, makes it easy to guess what these people are up to.

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

Let them do it.

His Majesty the Demon Lord of Kazdel is still at Rhine Lab's headquarters.

If they don't do it, how can they make things even bigger?

The reunited Sarkaz need to declare their existence to the world and lay the foundation for future recovery and development.

This is a perfect opportunity.
