Whoooo~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint cry of a night owl whispered in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crickets chirped, fireflies danced, and the gently yet hot breeze caressed the cheeks of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky was clear and filled with stars with no clouds in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could get drawn in and mesmerized by their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet... on this fine, warm night, a brooding chill passed through many like an electric current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the overly black massive tent fit for a ruler, several men gathered around in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces though looking expressionless, still managed to capture all the rage within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to kill them off so easily? Naive!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Ferguson narrowed his face on the piece of flesh before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're majesty, I know of the ungrateful bastard who owns this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This symbol belonged to one of the generals, whom he thought was like a son to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart quaked with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he not do for this guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amongst all his generals, this particular one was the person he blatantly favored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was so ironic was that he planned to step down 3 years later, handing the position over to the bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferguson clutched his chest, bowing his head sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though no one could see his expression, they knew his pain was evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who did not know how much Furgeson favored that General of his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, some even speculated that the said general was Ferguson's illegitimate child he had when he was 14. (Legal age in Deiferus).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he favored the general was no secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would've known that one would raise a white-eyed wolf in the end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brinkley lay his hand on Ferguson's shoulder, saying no words of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the atmosphere was strange, with feelings of anger, disbelief, and betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brinkley also had his own surprised alarm when seeing the marks on one of the captured hidden guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how one got old, life truly had a way of surprising them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the note his dearest General sent out, Brinkley released a chilling yet murderous laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Ferguson, he strived not to favor any of his generals. So he wasn't too hurt like Ferguson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he saw was a traitor who wanted to kill him for his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had bad news for the fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Brinkley, was still 41 years old and will either die in position or retire at 50!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they can just forget about eyeing his position now. He still had 9 good years to keep this seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the many notes, everyone more or less understood that if they didn't eradicate these old believers, they, as Commander, would continuously receive a wave of assassins from the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the other generals underneath them might be innocent. But who is to say they won't get tempted in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The event wanted to push its people into the main power positions once they died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So more generals would definitely get tempted in the future. Some might turn down the offer, while others might greedily accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether they showed loyalty or not was a reality that could happen in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why not eliminate the root fast, stopping such a situation from happening?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They already had many people attempting to assassinate them yearly. So why add another devious bunch into the mix?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a rule of thumb, enemies no longer hidden in the shadows should be killed off quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commanders clenched their fists in determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, we must get rid of the council in the next 3 years!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes... 3 years tops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(*^*)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their fiery eyes, Henry nodded in agreement. \"I know. That's why moving forward, I'll need all the help I can get from you. But first, let's handle all spies in our camp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thinned their kid, leaning in to listen to Henry's instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the more they listened, the more they realized that this monarch of theirs might not be as soft-hearted as they initially thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did their previous monarch go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was a gift that waited for no man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1...2... 3 A.M came in a blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camp was chill, with a good fraction of people already asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other fraction stayed up, guarding the camp diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed to go as it should, with nothing but the sounds of nature acting as a lullaby to the sleeping warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unbeknownst to them, their seemingly peaceful night would soon come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his head on the soft cushion, Jameson fell to a light sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a warrior, one could never sleep deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His senses were always alert, and his body honed to overcome obstacles and any surprise attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who initially had his eyes closed suddenly opened them fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schrip!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dagger plunged into his cushion several inches to the left, away from his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jameson held his breath momentarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he had reacted on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a quick roll, he quickly rose to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in less than a breath's time, the duo began exchanging attacks, twisting and turning their bodies in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who sent you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-silence-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in black didn't respond verbally, only allowing his blade to do the talking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The danger whistled in the air with the chilling sounds of death on its bladed tips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jameson rolled over his sleeping mat, quickly taking the dagger underneath his pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Come on!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their blades clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this very moment, time seemed frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight was intense and vicious—each one wanting to kill another with a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an unforgiving attack, the assassin sent his dagger toward his opponent's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schrip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long horizontal line formed on the tent's left walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jameson kicked the assassin through the opening, forcing the villain out the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes! He did it on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle, though seemingly quiet, should've alerted all 6 personal hidden guards stationed around his tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of them had shown up since the battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Analyzing things quickly, Jameson concluded that his guards should either be held up or dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it was safe to assume that there was more than one assassin sent to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't think they would be more assassins compared to the number of warriors in the entire camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you joking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He alone had 2000 men here. So imagine how many the other generals and commanders had out together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how only one had attacked him while the others were preoccupied with his hidden guards, he quickly concluded that they were no more than 7 intruders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he feared was that the other intruders would kill his hidden guards and gang up in numbers to kill him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he decided to force the assassin out in the open for all to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, at least, he would have a chance of keeping his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong! The assassin he fought was quite strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who?... Who would've sent them to finish him off around these parts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be the council?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jameson's expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving his note, had the council sent these men to eliminate him because they didn't want to hold to their own end of the bargain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For all he knew, maybe they had any hidden trump card to play the part of a Commander after the whole charade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jameson clenched his fist murderously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good... Good... What a good council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dare to deceive this daddy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the council, he couldn't think of anyone else who would hire assassins to take him out while here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make no mistake. He, like many in powerful positions, had tons of enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those said enemies didn't know his current whereabouts now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only those here and those with the council that knew his location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it all narrows down, doesn't it?... Or could it be another General who is jealous of all the favoritism he got from Commander Ferguson?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's no secret that Ferguson would probably choose him as an heir for the position. But if he dies, the other generals would be viable to take over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jameson lowered his head and stepped through the opening to meet the assassin he kicked earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bastard! I'd like to see how you'll handle things when your presence comes to light.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, his plan seemed to be working. However, after stepping out and seeing the scene before him, Jameson had a bad feeling in his gut\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assassin!... Assassin!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone saw the dark figure make the wind and was quick to alarm many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? An assassin in the camp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his camp, those sleeping woke up like vampires in a coffin, singing to their feet without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They grabbed the sword underneath their pillows, hurting out to see this said assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And stepping out of their tents, they were quickly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F***!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when did their camp get surrounded by the Commander and his men?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the Commander and his men arrive so fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They… they were surrounded in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how slow Jameson was, he knew he had fallen into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>",1550,"2026-06-03T07:55:50.931Z","2026-06-03T07:55:56.740Z",1,"novelbin.me","60c21b00d8864827ff1887dfb3aeda5fdce8993493bcabbff534db7bd2278e7b","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-1469","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-1467",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
