Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"It's amazing." Just the sight of them meeting each other was enough to send chills down one's spine. That feeling was similar to the oppression one felt when facing a guardian.

"Great guardian of the kingdom, Mr. Isaac." When Isaac walked into the meeting room, Aaron Trafalgar bowed his head first to show respect.

"Long time no see, Aaron." Isaac seemed very happy and responded to Aaron's greeting with a smile, then his gaze turned to the Mercenary King.

“…” The Mercenary King looked at Isaac with a dissatisfied look, while Isaac waited expressionlessly.

The conference room fell into silence for a while, and there seemed to be sparks between the two. At that moment, Isaac's expressionless face broke into a smile, and the Mercenary King frowned.

Isaac's gentle eyes seemed to say, "Why didn't you say hello?"

"Great Guardian, Mr. Isaac." The Mercenary King seemed very reluctant to casually greet him. Isaac nodded with satisfaction and accepted his greeting.

"Jed, it's been a long time. Those ugly muscles are still the same."

"Your sinister smile is still the same as always." There seems to be an inexplicable tension between the two of them. If you are not careful, it may lead to disaster.

"By the way, what is the business of the Great Guardian here?"

"As the Guardian, I'm here to resolve this issue. If the conflict deepens, it won't benefit anyone, right?" Isaac said, proudly placing the Guardian's badge on the table.

Jade seemed dissatisfied, smacking his lips and shaking his head.

"You're still so shameless." They seemed to have known each other for a long time. In this heavy atmosphere, the two of them still teased each other easily.

"A mercenary who joined the Star Cluster betrayed them and nearly caused the Star Cluster to be wiped out. The kingdom's knights died, and even my apprentice almost died." This is not just a matter of being thick-skinned.

Isaac put away his smile and said in a cold voice. Hearing that his apprentice almost died, the Mercenary King Jed nodded as if to show his understanding.

Isaac then looked at Jade unhappily and continued.

"It's very simple. If the dead mercenaries cannot be punished, then as the head of the mercenary guild, wouldn't it be over if you apologized and paid appropriate compensation?" Jed snorted with a puzzled look on his face.

"I admit the mercenary's fault. I intended to apologize fully, so I came here."

"but?"

"But the kingdom made a ridiculous decision."

"Ridiculous decision?" Isaac tilted his head and looked at Aaron Trafalgar. Then Aaron said with a bitter look on his face.

"The kingdom has ordered the execution of all mercenaries in prison." Hearing this, Isaac frowned.

"It looks like this isn't a conflict between the two of you."

"Yes. In order to find a solution, Mr. Jed and I pretended to have a conflict and delay time." Because of a betrayed mercenary, the mercenaries who came to support were in danger of death.

Of course, the Mercenary King Jed couldn't accept it, and neither could Aaron Trafalgar.

"It seems that it's because the knights of the Kingdom's Knights, the Knights of Colinfirth, died in battle." It was the death of none other than the Kingdom's knights that made things worse.

"The kingdom's knights are dead, but we can't kill innocent mercenaries as well." Hearing Aaron Trafalgar's words, Jed nodded in agreement.

"As the head of the mercenary guild, I cannot accept this decision. Well, although a suitable solution has not yet been found." The kingdom's decision cannot be undone.

Even if the Mercenary King and Aaron Trafalgar stepped forward, nothing would change.

"Well, if the decision is not changed in the end, then..."

"That's it." Jed was about to say something rebellious in anger, but Isaac shook his head, interrupting him.

"Well, that's the problem." Isaac now understood why the matter had not been resolved quickly. Cardin beside him also nodded in understanding.

"Trafalgar only wants an apology from the Mercenary King and proper compensation. He doesn't want the mercenaries who came to protect Trafalgar to die."

Even though there might be another traitor like the mercenary Flamm, the kingdom's decision to kill all the mercenaries was too extreme.

"I'm only here to apologize and compensate, but I can't stand hearing that all the mercenaries are going to be executed." Now I can understand why the Mercenary King Jed is so angry.

"I understand the anger of the Knights of Colinfirth, but it is not easy for me to accept this decision." Isaac frowned and nodded.

"The Kingdom has not contacted again?"

"The Kingdom said that they would send the vice-captain of the Colinfers Knights here to execute the mercenaries. They contacted us a few days ago, so he should be here soon."

"The teleportation scroll was not used. It seems that the Knights themselves came." The situation became more serious.

If the decision to execute the mercenary is not rescinded, a conflict between the Mercenary King and the Knights of the Kingdom may break out.

"Jade, don't get involved."

"Why should I? I'm the mercenary king. Do you want me not to protect the mercenaries?" Jed said excitedly. Isaac shook his head and pointed at the guardian's symbol on the table.

"Fortunately, I came at the right time." Aaron Trafalgar's expression immediately brightened up. He seemed to have found a very good solution and sighed.

"How many days will it take if we depart from the capital?" Aaron Trafalgar nodded in response to Isaac's question.

"Well, how about we play a game while we wait for the deputy leader?" Isaac turned his head and looked at Jed, who looked at him with an incredible expression.

"Is that what you should say in this situation?"

"Now that I'm here, I can solve it. The mercenaries won't die, so don't worry."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. If it's the deputy captain Colin Firth, I've met him a few times and I can handle it well." The guardian might be able to change the kingdom's decision.

Unaware of this fact, Jade also took a step back.

"Tsk. It will take at least three days to play against you." Can we see the duel between the Mercenary King and the Guardian? Cardin, who was quietly observing the situation, showed anticipation on his face.

"Who said anything about being with me?" Isaac smiled and looked at Cardin next to him.

"Cardan, are you ready?" It seems that Isaac's purpose in coming here is not just to take away Esther, the necromancer from the graduating class.
