I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1176 - 1078: Former Allies Table and Ex-Girlfriend Table (Part 2)

The noise of the argument was probably so loud that they couldn't hear the conversation between William and the Mermaid. Seeing William suddenly pop his head out from the side and trying to pull the Mermaid away, the three arguing nobles of the Kingdom of Saio couldn't hold back anymore.

A rugged man with an eye patch on his face and a hook for his left hand, fitting the "pirate" stereotype quite well, couldn't help but block the Mermaid with his hook, then impatiently shooed them away:

"This is the venue for The Twelve Kingdoms gathering, not a place for you to fool around! Hurry up and get out of here…"

"Don't cause trouble."

Seeing the hook dangerously close to William's collar in front of her, the Mermaid frowned and pushed the hook away from William, then kindly reminded:

"This kid's last name is Ryan."

"So what?"

Not sure if it was his pirate nature taking over, or he was caught up in the argument with the other two, the rugged man glared with his one eye and rudely declared:

"Even if his last name is Ryan... Ryan? Which Ryan?"

"The one you're talking about, who else could it be?"

"?!?!"

Whoa!!!

After hearing what the Mermaid said, the pirate couldn't help but shudder, then quickly withdrew his hook as if he'd touched a hot iron, stumbling backward several steps.

Seeing the faces of the three nobles turn white as they realized which "Ryan" they were dealing with, the Mermaid couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Although she had been quite frightened before, now with the roles reversed, scaring others with the name of the Food God felt a bit thrilling… swoosh~~~

"Even if he is related to the Food God, he can't occupy our seat, right?"

It seemed the Mermaid's contemptuous "bunch of losers" expression enraged the youngest of the three great nobles, who took a deep breath and argued:

"That accompanying seat belongs to our Kingdom of Saio. How can a mere prince of Travelling Thrush interfere with our internals..."

"Are all of you stupid?"

"?" x3

Under the puzzled gaze of the three great nobles, William, who had been listening quietly, suddenly turned around with a serious face and explained:

"Before coming here, my sister-in-law told me, anyone who tries to take the accompanying seat from me must have serious mental issues. Poor mental health is an illness and needs treatment!"

"You?!"

"You need to face up to your illness and not avoid medical treatment."

Facing the three increasingly furious nobles, William raised his brows slightly like Leon, then calmly said with his hands behind his back:

"My sister-in-law said to remember the names of anyone trying to take the seat from me, so my brother can have a good 'talk' with them and handle any unused brains before they rot and leak out of their noses.

So what's your full name? Could you write it down on a slip of paper if it's too long? Otherwise, if I get the names mixed up and my brother targets the wrong person, that wouldn't be good."

"?!!!!"

Wait… Weren't we just talking about having a chat? How did it escalate to killing people in one sentence? You should at least pretend better!

Seeing William with his delicate face, those bright eyes studying them as if to memorize their faces, the three great nobles couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spines, as if something cold had suddenly crawled up from their tailbone.

Even though it sounds like… it clearly is a threat! But his last name is Ryan.

Although the Food God might not actually do anything, this kid is indeed the Food God's younger brother.

Even though ordinary people might not do something like that, the older brother of these few kids isn't an ordinary person at all!

Hmph! Even weaker than Melanie! Still want to fight me for the listening position?

Watching the three pirates, who were just glaring at him as if about to eat a child, now scared witless, William couldn't help but smirk, then grabbed the Mermaid's sleeve and, with his short legs, walked toward the main conference table.

Feeling fully satisfied, the Mermaid gave the three great nobles an eye of disdain, then followed suit toward the main conference table, patting William's small head along the way.

"Well done!"

After William dodged a bit unhappily, the Mermaid gave him a thumbs up, then joyfully praised:

"You did your sister a huge favor! After the meeting, I'll buy you candy! Ha ha, those three idiots were completely fooled by you!"

"I didn't lie to them."

"???"

"My sister-in-law said those three are all on my brother's 'settlement' list. Even if they didn't fight for the seat today, the outcome wouldn't be any different. My brother will still have a good 'talk' with them."

"Ah?!?!"

"Robbery, kidnapping, smuggling, abuse, murder... There are some other pretty bloody charges my sister-in-law wouldn't let me see. But my brother said those three are all guilty of full-scale crimes against humanity, and they'll be sent down as soon as the meeting ends. Their seats are just right for me."

"..."

I guess… no problem with that?

Recalling what she had learned about the situation, the Mermaid nodded in agreement. However, just as she was about to ask more questions, William had already pulled her to the main conference table, opposite the "former allies."

Here comes another one.

Seeing the Mermaid, brought over by someone's younger brother, sit down on the right side of the long triangular table, the several Queens sitting there couldn't help but collectively click their tongues in their hearts, then unanimously smirked.

Among them, the Northern Queen from the Aquarius division and the cat-holding Witch King, both stared at the Mermaid's mesmerizing Charm Hill with a look of utter disdain.

Blindly going after that guy is one thing, but to actually wear something that enhances seductive effects, and even after he's married… I would never do something like this!

Hmph! Confirmed as a b*tch!

(￣_,￣)x2

(･ε･｀*)??

Most of the time, the Mermaid's intelligence is barely online, so she naturally noticed the strange atmosphere around her and... that weird sour taste!

Damn! Could it be that being brought over by the Food God's brother made those Queens who "have a thing" with him misunderstand?

Analyzing the situation around her, the Mermaid, unexpectedly in the spotlight, tensed up slightly, then hurriedly looked around, pointedly asking:

"Where is Her Majesty Veronica? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"She was the first to arrive, with Leon."

As expected, the Queens' attention finally shifted after hearing a name more "enmity-inducing" than hers, just as the Mermaid had hoped.

Without doubting if the Mermaid was trying to divert the problem, the North Queen—with a chest still as wide as a glacier—gave her a sidelong glance. Seeing as everyone had once been blind together, she continued answering patiently:

"But later, Mr. Scorpio and Mr. Cancer arrived, and Leon brought her along to greet them. Probably something they need to talk about."

"Ah?"

Hearing the North Queen's response, the Mermaid couldn't help covering her mouth in surprise. While silently apologizing profusely to Veronica and swearing she would only use her as a shield once, she blinked and asked with curious innocence:

"Just her alone?"

"Who else could it be?"

Although the cat-bearing Witch King easily saw the attempt to redirect focus, she couldn't help but retort when she heard the Mermaid's question:

"He's the Prince of the Travelling Thrush; who else would he take if not her?"

"That's true..."

Seeing that the sense of collective hostility had finally dissipated, the Mermaid couldn't help but let out a long breath. Embracing the thought of uniting with an ally, she puffed up her radiant Charm Hill, actively introducing herself:

"I'm Wendy, Wendy Paillette, the current Queen of the Kingdom of Saio, ladies..."

"I don't think formal introductions are necessary, are they?"

Smiling at the Mermaid, the Eastern Calayen "Queen," with her head full of snowy hair, pulled down her sleeves to cover the Ophiuchus mark on the back of her hand, then said with a cheerful smile:

"Since we're all seated at this table... it seems we're all in similar situations?"
