Chapter 18 the beginning of a new chaos

In the large room where the meeting will be held, gathered in front of a large wooden table made of Dragon bones, Gordoban, Tormak and their subordinates have just finished practicing to coordinate their movements in kneeling.

"Alright, I think it's good enough" Gordoban said while one of his subordinates tidied up his clothes.

"That's true Lord Gordoban" Tormak said as his personal maid tidied up his pants.

Half an hour ago they had received news that a fleet had approached the Dodoron solar system, 10 heavy class ships of unknown specifications, even if it wasn't for them announcing their arrival, Dodoron or Gordoban's radars wouldn't have been able to detect them, especially for Gordoban who had deliberately placed many spy ships around this system, making Gordoban once again realize that he had underestimated a Great Noble, and currently they were all practicing to welcome the arrival of said Great Noble.

"Lord Gordoban" Tormak called to Gordoban shyly as he instinctively shrunk his shoulders, in contrast to his reaction a while ago, which made Baskara's eyebrows who was standing behind him twitch slightly.

"Huh?" Gordoban raised his eyebrows at Tormak who was smiling disgustingly.

Tch, why is this little bug always trying to lick me, fucking disgusting.

Gordoban couldn't help but stare at Tormak coldly, the reason he chose this place was that it was the perfect meeting place, well, if it wasn't for Tormak that is, Gordoban knew very well the situation of the Dodoron family and who Tormak Regulu Dodoron was, there was nothing, absolutely no benefit other than this that Tormak could give him, the fact that the other small and poor nobles avoided Tormak like the plague was enough to explain it all, even in Gordoban's entire life he had never seen anyone more stupid than Tormak, it was a miracle that the Dodoron noble house hadn't been reduced to ashes yet.

Unaware of Gordoban's thoughts, Tormak who was still smiling widely spoke "Lord Gordoban, about this Great Noble, may I know which house they are from, perhaps I have a thing or two that might please them ehehehe"

Hearing Tormak's words, Gordoban knew what this idiot was looking for, a connection with a Great Noble and Gordoban couldn't help but facepalm at this guy's stupidity, he didn't even realize that people build connections to get deals, but if you have nothing to offer except trouble, it doesn't matter how many connections you have, it's all in vain, the world is unfair for a brainless idiot like this to become a Noble, Gordoban thought to himself before answered curtly "That's none of your business"

"Uh, but Lord Gordoban, wasn't I the one who provided-Ekh?!" Tormak screamed as Gordoban grabbed him by his neck and lifted him up from the ground, with difficulty breathing and swinging his legs, Gordoban stared straight into Tormak's eyes "Listen to me Tormak, if you dare to mess with me then you know the consequences?"

"Y-Yes!" Tormak let out a pitiful squeak like a mouse before Gordoban threw him to the floor.

"Agkahh!!!" as Tormak Falling to the floor painfully, several maids immediately came to Tormak's side who was lying on the floor groaning, meanwhile the Royal Guards quickly prepared their weapons, they might be killed if they fought Gordoban Calico and his gang, but they still had the spirit as the Knights of Dodoron, they would not let the pirates do as they pleased forever.

"unacceptable" Seeing the spectacle, the Head of the Royal Guards Wein Sefril readied his Cyber spear, just when the fight seemed about to start when both sides drew their weapons, Tormak hurriedly sat up and shouted angrily "You All! All of you! What are you doing!! Lower your weapons in front of Lord Gordoban!!"

Seeing Tormak scolding his Knights, Gordoban's anger did not subside, Instead, disgust rose in his heart, Gordoban took out a white handkerchief from his pocket before wiping his hands "Do you think I'm stupid Tormak?"

"L-lord Gordoban, that's not"

"You think that by scolding your pests, I will be happy? You don't know shit about Great Nobles and you even think I'll fall for your bullshit!! And now this?!!?"

Gordoban's angry voice boomed inside the room, the Royal Guards with few exceptions trembled in front of the angry Gordoban, even Gordoban's subordinates who were used to being around him had tense expressions, while Fain just stood there silently without any reaction.

"Don't play games with me Tormak!! Who do you think you are?! Even though I've been good to you all this time!!" Gordoban could no longer contain his anger, if this idiot messed up all his plans There was nothing in this world that could compensate for his loss, even if Gordoban destroyed his territory and killed everyone in it, it still wouldn't replace what he had lost, fools were truly terrifying.

Tormak who was sitting with an open mouth on the floor while being supported by the maids did not understand why Gordoban was so angry, even though he was only asking about the guest who would come to his house, wasn't that normal? Besides he was a noble who was the same as a Great Noble, but seeing the angry Gordoban, only fear filled Tormak's heart, Fearing death, Tormak, who had never been faced with such a murderous intent in his life, began to cry.

"It's not like that Lord Gordoban! I never meant it like that!! Please don't kill me!!" Tormak knelt holding Gordoban's feet while crying for his life.

"Lord Tormak..." Baskara widened his eyes in shock, an Empire noble begging at the feet of a Pirate, a very inappropriate spectacle, this was a new lowliness even for Tormak making Baskara's heart fall into despair, as well as Tormak's other subordinates, starting from the guards, Servants and maids could only look at Tormak in disbelief.

There really is no hope for the Dodoron territory....

Seeing Tormak begging at his feet, Gordoban himself couldn't digest it for a moment before he couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud "WHAT AN IDIOT!!!"

"GAHAHAHA!! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A NOBLE TORMAK!!!?" Gordoban's laughter echoed around in contrast to his previous anger, but no one dared to laugh or say anything, holding his face as if he couldn't take it anymore Gordoban stared at Tormak who was frozen in fear at his feet.

"I didn't think you were this pathetic Tormak, I pity you, really" Gordoban said wiping the tears from his eyes from laughing too much.

"D-do you forgive me Lord Gordoban?" Tormak who didn't care about his honor in front of the fear of death, could only put on his usual stupid smile even after being insulted in such a way.

"Stand up Tormak"

"Y-yes!" Tormak slowly stood on his feet still with a stupid smile stuck on his face, seeing Tormak with a smile on his face, Gordoban had decided to kill him, this man would only ruin everything with his stupidity, besides the guest wouldn't care what happened to a small noble like Tormak, even if Tormak didn't show up the guests wouldn't bat an eye, as long as he was careful with the blood so as not to dirty this room that would be used for meetings, and clean the air with wind magic after that everything would be fine, only when Gordoban was about to order his men to kill Tormak and all his subjects in the room, one of his right hands hurriedly came to his side, raising his eyebrows, Gordoban asked "what's wrong?"

Faced with Gordoban's murderous gaze his subordinate seemed hesitant to speak, but after feeling Gordoban's killing intent, he hurriedly opened his mouth

"Uhm... Captain, there's a little problem... that thing... It....has run away"

For the first time in his life Gordoban felt like he was going to have a heart attack, At that moment however, no one noticed the smile on Fain's lips from behind her mask, as sparks of golden light appeared between her fingers.....
