Sun Yingyun’s gaze slightly changed, as she looked at Allen as if she had her thoughts.

“Can we join this organization?”

Allen shook his head, “Yes but unfortunately, you don’t have the qualifications yet.”

“What!?” Sun Yingyun exclaimed in anger. She wasn’t qualified? Is this guy really blind?!

She doesn’t only have beauty but also power! Aside from her brother, she was the second strongest in the [ Dragon ] group!

“Xiao Yun, enough.”

Sun Yingyun wanted to argue but she was stopped by her brother. She wanted to refute Allen but Sun Yueli’s strong gaze overwhelmed her and thus, she could only flap her mouth open.

Sun Yueli trusted Allen’s claims.

If he said, she wasn’t qualified then she wasn’t.

Allen was the infamous Beast King, one of the people who was considered the strongest of all humanity. Although, this wasn’t the same as before, and surely Allen was still weak compared to the ‘Him’ he remembers but he should not be far from it.

Even if a cicada cast its skin away, it will still remain a cicada!

Even right now, he could still feel the strong power radiating from Allen.

This power doesn’t seem far from his former self!

Even if he went all out, he doesn’t seem to be able to defeat him!

Allen ignored Sun Yingyun’s scowl and said in a sharp tone, “[ Vivite Liberi ] wasn’t necessarily a secret anymore as there were already several people who know of it but, I plead you not to say anything about the organization to anyone.

And you as a member shouldn’t flaunt your membership of [ Vivite Liberi ] if not, your qualifications will be instantly nullified.

Only members possess the rights to know that you are a member of the organization. And you will only show your medallion to other members and not anyone else as a proof of your membership.

And if we found out that you spread the name of [ Vivite Liberi ] without our permission, you will either be hunted or be severely punished!

Please take note of that. Don’t think that we won’t know whether you did it or not because nothing under the heavens will skip our eyes and ears.

Even if you are protected by a country or a strong superpower, please don’t think that you will be safe.”

“… …”

Allen spoke slowly and clearly; “Of course, it’s your personal freedom to be stubborn…"

"However, if you really want to… then please try it, be my guest, knowing that the compensation will be extremely expensive.”

--- ---

“Brother, just who is that man? Why are you so respectful to him?” Sun Yingyun asked Sun Yueli as soon as Allen and Ye Shishi left.

Sun Yueli was sitting silently inside the room.

He let out a light sigh and tried to relieve the illusive pressure that was just bearing down on him from the air a while ago.

He really never expected to meet the Beast King here.

Was it awe… or excitement?

“In truth, I don’t know him that well, I’ve only seen him from afar before.” Sun Yueli gave a long sigh as he shook his head.

Su Yingyun frowned on his answer. Didn’t know him? Then why is he acting like that?

But before she could ask, Sun Yueli continued.

“But I heard stories about him…”

“… …”

“… From what I know, the Beast King was said to be the most mysterious out of all the Kings. He doesn’t have a big military force like the others and he doesn’t socialize with the other people that much, except for his tamed beasts.”

“It was even said that he treasures his tamed beasts very much compared to humans.”

“… …” Sun Yingyun paused! Kings? What did that even mean? What are you talking about?

“… There’s even a rumor from other groups that the Beast King is the embodiment of death, that whoever comes in contact with him will surely be marked by the death god or something… of course, I don’t believe in those rumors.”

King? She had heard her brother called the youth the Beast King… then was he a king of a kingdom?

No way, I don’t remember any kingdom with such a strange king existed before… Sun Yingyun’s mind was filled with doubt but she didn’t cut her brother off and only listened quietly.

She was really curious as to what Sun Yueli was talking about.

Without knowing what her sister was currently thinking, Sun Yueli continued narrating with reverence: “But I remember, his majesty [ Poseidon ] telling me something about him before. He said, ‘He is the one who… could always create a miracle. A very big idiot who’s will to live is stronger and more stubborn than anyone else. I doubt even cockroaches are as resilient as him…’”

He fought against everything with all he had and was kept busy with life and death battles every day. Luckily for him, at the doubt and disbelief of everyone, he fought his way against all odds and survived

Willpower.

Charisma.

Physical strength.

Mental strength.

Outrageous abilities.

Wisdom.

Luck.

And most of all… his flexibility that awed even the Kings themselves.

It’s not about the flexibility of his body but the flexibility of his decisions, character, personality, and imagination to face any kind of situations.

In terms of power, speed, leadership, management, destruction ability, ability convenience, intelligence, charisma and appearance that could make anyone turn their head and be mesmerized, Allen was still lacking compared to the other Kings.

However, if all the Kings are asked who they least wanted to be an enemy out of, Monsters and Demons fall short because they will surely choose, Allen Bando without hesitation.

Demon King held the greatest power under the heavens and Demon Army held the strongest force that could trample everything… but even so, the one who often gave those people headaches everytime they fought was none other than Allen Bando.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Attempt assassination, endurance, iron-like will and the attitude to get back no matter what happens when he was almost get done in in every battle, makes Allen a terrifying opponent.

He fights without consideration for his life a majority of the time and, while this gives him the ability to fight without limits - Though this could also be a testament to how little Allen values his own life.

However, if this coupled with his incredibly high pain tolerance, this would make him an incredibly fearsome fighter and terrifying opponent. 

He successfully killed the [ Mud Demon Golem ] who should’ve become one of the Demon Generals for revenge, took the Demon Marshall [ Snow Wolf King ] down because he chased him when Allen took his supposed to be the queen with him and et cetera…

He is able to incorporate the use of almost anything he finds in a fight, and frequently catches his opponents’ off-guard by using his surroundings against them.

As a proof of this, he even almost successfully assassinated several Demon Generals; [ Halloween ], [ Witch Queen of the North ], [ Lich King ], and [ Poison Fang Scorpion King ] by using all kinds of deceitful tactics.

There are also still other things that seemed almost impossible and yet Allen still managed to do it. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that it was almost thanks to the Beast King; Allen Bando that humanity managed to last almost two years fighting against the Demon Army!

He is capable of turning the tide of any battle, being called the ace by all of the Kings.

Well, of course, Allen wasn’t the only one. The other Kings also did their own great things but their achievements just can’t outrank Allen’s.

 “… …”

“‘… Allen is an unusually odd person and we must never use common sense to judge him.’ That was what [ Poseidon ] had said.”

“… My King was an astute person and everyone trusted his words. That is why I would never doubt the Beast King’s capabilities.”

What the heck is this? Is my brother a delusional or something?

I mean, Poseidon…is he talking about that Poseidon? The sea god?

Sun Yingyun felt like she had just heard something crazy and her expression couldn’t help but become distorted. “Brother, it’s not like I didn’t believe you or anything but… what are you talking about? And who’s this Poseidon? Are you talking about the Greek God of the sea?”

Sun Yueli looked at his sister and bitterly smiled. Although he can’t say about the past, he could still tell her about all the heroes of the world.

“It’s not the sea god,” Sun Yueli shook his head. “… actually [ Poseidon ] is only a title of my esteemed king, Daniel Bredstone. He was known as [ Poseidon ] because of his ability to control water.”

“A Superhuman that has the power to control water…?”

“Yeah, you might not believe it but they are the most powerful Superhumans in the world. Even I myself couldn’t believe it at first but when I saw King Daniel for the first time, I was in awe.”

Sun Yueli’s eyes grew brighter as though they were shimmering stars!

He couldn’t help but remember at that time, he and his fellow group were almost dying because of the monsters besieging them.

They had already lost hope and yet suddenly, he appeared like a real superhero.

“… He waved his arms as if he was a conductor in an orchestra and a huge wall of water appeared like a tsunami, swallowing the monsters. We were alive because of him, and that time was also the time, I decided to follow him.”

“Ahm, when did this happen?” Sun Yingyun couldn’t remember if this really happened.

Although they were attack monsters all the time and almost felt despaired but as far as she could remember, there’s no such thing happened.

“… You don’t need to know. However, what you need to remember is that there were ten heroes in this world. They were crowned as kings because of their power that couldn’t be measured by normal means.”

Sun Yingyun was dumbstruck and speechless, as she gave a long sigh, then said: “I really don’t know if I should believe it but ten kings? Are there really such things?”

“Didn’t you meet one of them?” Sun Yueli was now annoyed. Just why the hell is his sister so stubborn?

“That, what is it… Beast King?”

“Yeah, he is one of them. Crowned as Beast King, well-known as The Immortal, and feared as the Black Demon King. He was called with many names and I even heard that he was the youngest yet he was one of the most capable of the Ten Kings.”

“Is he really that strong?” Su Yingyun couldn’t believe his brother’s words.

Yeah, he was strong, but why does she felt as if his brother was just over exaggerating it?

I mean, it was just over a month ago when all of this started you know?

They wouldn’t be as strong her brother claimed to be…right?

Looking at his disbelieving sister, Sun Yueli sneered. “What about this, I wonder if you still think like that after hearing this.

The Beast King was once dubbed as the most-dangerous and the most-wanted man in the world.”

“What?!”

“Surprising, isn’t it? But it’s true. He managed to obtain an unpardonable crime status in a certain country…

- As for what crime it was, no one knows. That country was hiding it as if they were afraid of someone knowing it. Not even a mouse knows of it.

But, even so, they had put a huge bounty on his head of over 10 Million Low-grade Monster Cores!”

“What?! 10 Million?!” Sun Yingyun’s eyes almost bulged out of its socket.

Not just her, Tong Fu who was quietly listening to the sibling’s conversation almost fell on the ground from shock.

10 Million! Just how big was that!?

At that time, Money was no longer as effective as a means of trade. Though money was still used, Monster Cores value exceeds that of money so many people used it. At first Monster Core’s equivalent was a million and higher but when the economy became stable it slowly became cheaper until it stops in 1, 000 US Dollar.

1 Monster Core = 1, 000 US Dollar. That’s the lowest possible exchange rate for a monster core and it could still go higher.

But that would only happen several years after the [ Fantasial Apocalypse ] began.

In those times, Lv5 monsters and above is as abundant as trees in the world, and the economy was greatly affected because of their appearance.

Who wouldn’t want Monster Cores?

Monster Cores are a new source of energy. It can also strengthen Superhumans and even give normal humans an increase in lifespan and strength when consumed!

Who wouldn’t want it?

All in all, Monster Core is truly a very important thing.

--- ---

Sun Yueli was satisfied with their reaction.

The first time he heard about that, he was as shocked as them.

10 Million Low-grade Monster cores, who wouldn’t feel greedy.

Monster cores were divided by Low, Middle and High grade. Low grade is from Pawn Lv5 – 7, Middle grade is from Lv8– 9 and High grade are from Rook and above.

This happened before the Demon Army appeared and terrorized the whole world.

When the [ Dawn Alliance ] still not existed…

Although Monster Cores at that time was not a rare commodity anymore, 10 Million Low-Grade Monster Cores was still an amount that could make anyone crazy and kill to obtain.

In the first place, giving a 10 Million bounty on a single person’s head was totally outrageous and ridiculous. It was the first time that huge of a bounty appeared in the world and even now, there’s no one who could beat that record!

And judging by this amount, anyone could feel how important Allen’s death to that country. It could make one wonder just what did Allen did to them or how did he incur their wrath?

At that time, many mercenaries, organizations, and countries chased that youth but all of them were all annihilated.

No one managed to come back…

It caused a huge sensation at that time and the populace started labeling him as the [ Black Demon King ] because of the color of his clothes and his ability to control monsters to fight.

Because of that particular event, all the big countries and organization send their strongest people to subjugate him out of fear.

However, no one knows what happened at that time when they clashed against the Black clothed youth, but, there’s a rumor that out of over twenty people who were tasked to kill the rumored [ Black Demon King ], only thirteen managed to come back alive.

… And seven of those who were sent will be known as the Kings of [ Dawn Alliance ] together with the rumored [ Black Demon King ] in the future.

As to what really happened when they met, no one knows.

Sun Yueli heard some rumors but he doesn’t know if those were real or not.

Even the kings refused to speak about it.

When the Demon Army appeared and the Dawn Alliance was created, only then the rumored [ Black Demon King ] appeared in public and was known as the [ Beast King ].

No one called him the [ Black Demon King ] anymore once he became one of the heroes of humanity because it would be insulting to call him like that.

… maybe that was also the reasons why although the Beast King was well-known, his forces weren't as big as the other kings.

Sun Yueli thought as he recalled his time on [ Dawn Alliance ].

Sun Yingyun listened to her brother in reverence. It as if she was listening to a fairy tale and couldn’t help but strengthened her resolve…

She shouldn’t believe her brother’s words.

No matter how you see it, it really is ridiculous. Maybe his brother was hit on the head or something?

Maybe he was brainwashed?

By who? That man who was called the Beast King… maybe?

Sun Yingyun’s impression on Allen instantly fell below negative. She resolves herself to investigate that hateful person!

However, a part of her questioned her thoughts. Was her brother really only delusional?

She had known her brother for a very, very long time! They were already together since they were kids, so part of her really feels as if what her brother said was real and not the least bit nonsensical.

However, how could it be? She never heard about a country giving a 10 Million Monster cores for a head!

And even if there really is, doesn’t it mean that the man just now was a criminal?

Sun Yueli didn’t know what his sister was thinking at all. But he still feels as if she didn’t believe him at all, so he continued talking about Allen.

“…if that were not enough to prove his strength then what about this…

One in another big and well-known country, he was respected and was even deified.

With his monster minions, he became a key figure in a revolution that changed that said country. They even built a bronze statue of him in their royal capital after the revolution.”

“… …”

“… There’s also when two big countries have a war. One of them is where the [ Holy Maiden ] Maria belong to. Because of some problem, a country declared war to another country but all of this was suddenly stopped. Do you know why?”

“…Why?” Sun Yingyun asked curiously. She was filled with doubts, but very interested.
