Overlord Empress - Chapter 105 CLARKS NEW MISSION

All the Uchiha’s are puzzled by this stranger’s proposal to marry Manu by fighting him one on one. But it clearly spells disaster for them if Manu were to be married to Serafina. But at the same time they can’t refuse her, as the Uchiha’s already had their hands full by preparing against the other Sovereign Rulers to protect Rasia core. So they don’t want to offend another ruler, before they settle their accounts with the others first.

To be frank, after listening to Serafina’s story, they felt she is pitiful. She finally met someone who can defeat her and be her partner, but it turned out that her chosen partner is an avatar of Ichika. She approached them with no hostile intent and they also played a big part in this huge misunderstanding. Especially Mikoto, she doesn’t want to break such a straightforward maiden’s heart.

While all of them are trying to come up with solutions, Fugaku felt it is important to buy for some time. With time, they can come up with a good strategy to correct their mistakes by refusing Serafina without hurting her feelings and angering her. He quickly passed the message to Ichika through his soul sense.

“We arrived on this world after a long journey and we have lot of things to deal first. Why don’t we fight after things calmed down on our side?”- Manu

Serafina was holding her breath all this time, thinking she will be rejected again. If she is rejected, then there is nothing she can do per her race rules. When she heard Manu’s response, life returned to her eyes, it means she still has chance to make this man her partner.

She immediately accepted their request, but surprising all the Uchiha’s again, she moved towards the second carriage and sat besides E’Lara.

“Your majesty, this is …”- Zetsu

But before Zetsu could come up with a reason, Serafine cut him off

“You see I am also new to this world and don’t have any friends or relatives on this world. Since we are going to fight in the future, let me stay along with you guys in the palace. This will also help us to know about each other.Don’t tell me there is no extra place for one more person in your palace”- Serafina

Zetsu and the others had no way to refute her words,as they have more than enough place to house more than thousands in the palace. With nothing to say, they calmly allowed her to stay beside E’Lara.

As for the others, who are watching these developments can’t help but sincerely pray in their hearts, that Manu wins his fight against her, so they can escape from this plague.

Ichika, Zetsu, Shisui, Itachi and Kin sat down in the empty 4th carriage. Ichika was supposed to sit in the second carriage with the 3 avatars, but she silently settled in the 4th one. With all the events that happened today, she is clearly on the verge of losing her temper. If she stays in the second carriage with Serafina, then she may complicate things by losing her mind.

Following Ichika’s order, Dahaka moved closer to the northern entrance of Eden city, following the path of the 8 million paragon soldiers, who already stood from the north entrance to the space portal. The moment he came closer to the entrance, he simply laid on the land, lowering his head to the ground.

All the 4000 sovereign soldiers started to move forward towards the city, followed by the 5 carriages behind them. The moment they passed the northern entrance all the paragon soldiers also started to follow them from behind, leaving Dahaka and the palace behind.

As soon as the Uchiha’s stepped inside the Eden city broders, various artists and performers who were already prepared to welcome them came out from the crowd. Musicians started to play drums in rhythmic way, radiating energy in the surroundings. Following them hundred of musicians with various music instruments started to play music, while thousands of female dancers in yellow clothes, started to dance accordingly to the music, while moving forward.

All the paths leading to the city were completely occupied, most of them even climbed the rooftops of the nearest buildings, to get a clear view of the Royal family. Various representatives and Emperors from another world also personally arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace. Even after completely witnessing the military might of Empress Ichika, they would be considered as fools, if they don’t take this chance to cement their relations with Empress Ichika and her family.

Various reporters were also following the huge procession from the beginning broadcasting the events live to all corners of the world, leaving all of them spell bound. If before Empress Ichika fame was like river, now it reached the standard of a mighty ocean.

Foreign tourists and contestants, who came to participate in this event also took best spots to witness the huge procession, they can’t help but feel awe, fear, respect and jealousy towards her. Just that previous attack from Manu taking down millions of soldiers with a single attack left a deep impression in their minds. They decided to compete with everything they got in the event and try to get in the eyes of the Royal family. If they are lucky, they may end up receiving few pointers from these powerful cultivators.

There was a huge temporary platform built in front of the palace to address and introduce the Royal family to the citizens. Ichika felt it right to introduce all of her family members in public, rather than to just few ministers in the court and leave everything to media. The platform was beautifully decorated, with enough seats for all members of the Royal family. But because of the addition of Serafina, Ichika sent message to add another seat on the platform. Even though she is not a member of her family, as a powerful ruler, she can be considered as their guest for now. It will be rude of them to just leave her out.

Arrangements were made for all the reporters in front of the platform, so that they can broadcast the events live without any interference.Clark Moor and his boss Cynthia are also among the crowd. Currently Cynthia is coming up with infinite number of ideas to make sure Clark gets even more close to Prince Zetsu.

After watching the events unfold outside Eden, she can’t help but feel that there will be more action regarding the Royal family in the future. So she wants to get first hand information on these news, but she has no relations with any of the Royal members, Only Clark does. But this bastard always takes the opportunity to ask for paid leave or salary hike. Just 130 million years ago, she was forced to increase his salary by 2 low grade spirit stones reluctantly. But as the news is important, maybe she should add another 3 more low grade spirit stones to increase his motivation.

“Clark, do you want another salary rise?”- Cynthia

Clark who was still observing the huge procession on the large recording crystal in front of the palace, turned towards Cynthia, as if he was looking at an alien. If there was an association for misers, then his boss will definitely be the president of it. As the owner and patriarch of Sun Media sect, she holds billions worth assets and huge deposits in various banks. Just the interest from these deposits is enough to pay for all the employees in the sect and train the new generation. Even then, she herself lives so frugally, that Clark never saw her in more than 100 costumes so far in his career, while working for her. Even when he worked so far, he barely gets any bonus, it is because of his strong relations with various crooks, that his pockets were never empty[A/N: here Clark means, he earned the money by blackmailing various bad guys]. But now his boss is volunteering on her own to raise his salary? Did she finally realize how important he is in the sect? Could it be 10 high grade spirit stones?

“How much are we talking about boss?”- Clark

“3 low grade spirit stones. But there won’t be any rise for the next 100 million years, unless your contributions surpass my expectations and help or sects growth”- Cynthia

Fu** again just 3 low grade spirit stones, no raise for the next 100 million years? Isn’t it a daylight robbery? Maybe he should approach Empress Ichika and complain to her about this white collar slave driver. But why the sudden need to raise his salary?

“Boss if you are asking me to do a undercover mission, then I should decline. I like my current work and work place at the moment”- Clark

Bastard, why don’t you openly admit you like the food from Osteria Gourmet kitchen. You became addicted to the food from that place.

“No your mission is to stay in Eden and get even more close to Prince Zetsu and if possible the Royal clan members. I feel a storm is brewing on our world and it is centered around the Royal family. So I need as much information as I can. But make sure you take permission from Prince Zetsu, when passing that information to me, otherwise we will anger the Royal family”- Cynthia

If there was one thing that brought Cynthia and Clark together, it is their intuition to sense news. So far Cynthia never went wrong with her intuition and Clark always followed on her intuition and unearthed large number of sensational news.

With today’s event that happened outside the capital city, he could also tell that this world is gonna become a playground for a lot of powerful cultivators. Otherwise why would such a powerful cultivator like Empress Ichika, who was quiet for a long time on this world, pulled out so many strong soldiers with her family to Eden. If it is just a visit from her family, then that man who took down millions of cultivators with a single attack is more than enough to escort her family members. But now an entire army came with her family members, it’s like they are preparing for war.

“Well Boss, even if I escape to the corners of this world, I am sure I will be caught up in this storm. So I would rather prefer to stay by Prince Zetsu, where my survival chances will increase. So I will accept the mission”- Clark

For some reason Cynthia felt like she gave a huge gift to Clark instead of an important mission, should she send him on another job?
