I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 669 - 436 Queen Matthaios

The Black Cats each swore their oaths, and Nada, leading them, raised its paw to gently touch Chen Lun’s palm with reverence.

Floey smiled and led the applause.

The Circus cadres all clapped their hands, while Alec, Maggie, and Connie looked surprised. Although they had been shocked when Antonio had joined the team, they were now faced with a group of talking Black Cats.

Golov, Barton, and Morey glanced at each other, each seeing a sense of urgency on the others’ faces.

Despite their small stature, every one of these Black Cats was a battle-hardened “veteran” who could even best an ordinary Sequence Seven Transcendent in single combat.

The strength of Nada, in particular, reached that of an average Sequence Six Transcendent.

Seeing this new force joining, Chen Lun was quite pleased.

The overall level of the team had once again been raised.

Noon time.

Chen Lun had asked Floey to prepare a lavish lunch for the Black Cats as a welcome gesture, but he himself had little appetite, as almost all the dishes on the table were various kinds of fish.

This puzzled Chen Lun.

Floey didn’t usually make fish, but judging by the appearance of the dishes and the satisfied expressions of the Black Cats, they seemed to taste quite good.

‘How did she become so adept…’

Chen Lun cast a casual glance and saw Floey turn her head in the kitchen, responding with a smile; those lovely pale purple eyes were full of meaning.

He coughed and looked away.

At this moment, Chen Lun noticed another curious phenomenon.

It was that Nada and its fellow Black Cats seemed to hold a great deal of respect for the White Cat Biebu, their inadvertent behaviors even showing a hint of appeasement.

‘Could it be because Maggie once possessed Biebu, so the residual aura is causing Nada and the others to feel reverent?’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

After lunch.

Chen Lun was planning to head to the Imperial Judgement Group building to compile the information he had gathered at the dark depths and personally deliver it to Chief McCollin.

As the progress of the investigation in the Spirit World had almost completely stalled, only he had confirmed the root cause and truth behind the turmoil there… He needed to complete this task quickly, partly to help the Empire react faster and partly in the hope of obtaining corresponding Merit Points to exchange for the items he needed.

However, soon after he left the house.

Chen Lun sat in the carriage and suddenly felt his index finger tremble slightly.

“Golov, pull over for a moment,” he stated with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Yes, Leader,” came Golov’s respectful voice from behind the carriage curtain.

Chen Lun bent his index finger and placed it in front of his eyes.

Hiss!

The index finger suddenly molted into a small white snake, slowly flicking its tongue. A few seconds later, Chen Lun shared part of the information through it.

“Golov, there’s no need to go to the Judgement Group building, let’s return to the Church District…” Chen Lun said thoughtfully.

Obviously puzzled, Golov did not ask further.

“I have an urgent errand to run, please let Floey and the other cadres know,” said Chen Lun.

“Of course, Leader,” Golov responded.

When the carriage returned to the Generous Church District and Golov lifted the curtain, the Leader had already vanished without a trace.

Underground of the Sun Continent.

The Land of Matthaios.

A tall figure suddenly appeared outside a large wooden fence; he donned a black hat and, leaning on his Silver Staff, strode toward the entrance.

This person was Chen Lun, who had hurried over upon receiving news.

He had just received a message from Lady Orianna while in the carriage, stating that she had made contact with her Queen and the Queen had agreed to meet with Chen Lun.

‘This opportunity is rare; although I now know the roots and truth behind the turmoil in the Spirit World, the Queen of the Land of Matthaios must know many hidden secrets of the past, and perhaps I can obtain some valuable intelligence from her…’

The Land of Matthaios is ruled by four Queens, and the Queen of Orianna’s faction is the Queen of the Eastern Territory, Caplan.

All of this basic information had been relayed to him by Lady Orianna.

As Chen Lun approached the entrance, he found Lady Orianna had been waiting for a while. Two squads of spear-wielding women guards were with her, who from their build and equipment, were clearly much stronger than the forces from the “Root Settlement.”

“I’m delighted we meet again, Jack,” said Lady Orianna.

Today, Lady Orianna wore a white fur coat, her fluffy collar raised high, covering half of her face and revealing only those enchanting eyes.
