and the night was summer night was as glorious as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 46-year-old man stood on his chamber balcony and watched the starry sky silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the calm night sky, his mind was in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t wait to unleash his anger at those ignorant fools that somehow managed to cause so much disorder in his world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, it’s Panjo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enter.\" He responded loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a man in an inky blue actor stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long before we arrive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, it won’t be long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should arrive sometime between 7~8 A.M.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I’ve also relayed your message and informed everyone else about your orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All 12 sh.i.p.s will now stay here while we advance further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if we don’t come back within three days at most, then the men will bring hell to this puny empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You may retire for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want you in tip-top shape for tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the man vanished somewhere within the room to join the other hidden bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their master, even though he spoke calmly, they more than anyone knew how angry he was at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only say a silent prayer for those who angered their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their master was here for a fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time raced swiftly, and before Landon knew it, the morning had come again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he had an important meeting to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was scheduled for 2 P.M, so he had a lot of time before that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could handle other pressing matters as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Landon went straight to his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like today would be another peaceful day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stayed in his office till 9:40 A.M before receiving a phone call from his secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, someone is here to cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon got up and left speedily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he was told, someone was causing a loud commotion at the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The was the first time that someone had ever tried to force themselves into the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Landon wanted to know who they were and why they wanted to fight with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what his secretary said, it appears that the man blamed him for something he knew nothing about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, the man also claimed to be famous as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw the man’s face, he instantly knew who he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this the most famous painter and sculptor, Marcus Perquo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His works were within all three continues; Pyno, Veinitta and Morgany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All royal palaces in all empires in these continues had his works there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And several nobles also had his works too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His waitlist was several years long, and his fame was the highest within the Arts society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Capital cities, there were art societies there that focused on the fine arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The society was made up of the finest art critics ever, so anyone who belonged to it was seen as prestigious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he ranked first in the list when combining all members from all empires within these three continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For many art lovers, he was a genius way ahead of his time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his works were indeed beautiful and breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Marcus Perquo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Landon had accidentally seen him before when he painted several portraits of Alec way back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not know him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon couldn’t help but wonder what he ever did to the guy to make him raging mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus looked at the son of a b**ch coming his way and felt like running over and strangling him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he hasn’t been fighting this whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just refused to go in and wanted Landon to leave the palace and meet him outside instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like his status was way higher than this puny ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even great kings and rulers around the continent dared not embarrass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why should he have to humble himself in front of this unworthy king?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still shocked by everything within Baymard, but he would never show it because he remembered his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he showed any signs of getting impressed, then the other side might feel high and mighty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how could he give others a chance to mock him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already unleashed most of his excitement and shock after leaving the Coastal port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he arrived in front of the palace, he literally pinched himself hard to bring him back to reality and remind him of his purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to come hard and strong to get what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came with 100 men and left the rest in the ship at the docks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t return, then they would go and call for backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t scared because he always moves with an army of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone famous who was constantly travelling from continent to continent, his safety was a must.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he wasn’t scared of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Landon coming out, he felt even prouder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the little king had to run over to kiss his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But little did he know that it was just curiosity that brought Landon over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon stood before the proud man, and the duo scrutinized each other silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon only felt it funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only went out of his way to greet those that he was very close to, like the grannies in the palace, those at the industries and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t close to this Marcus guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So no matter how high the person’s position was, he was Baymard’s ruler and should be greeted first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the duo continued to stare at one another, their men were also getting excited as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards stood beside Landon in perfect formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even though they were furious at tge lack of disrespect, they didn’t say anything because Landon hadn’t given out his orders yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was part of their training to always stay calm and obey orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they were just waiting for their chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Marcus’ men of 100, some were silent while others just sneered and began throwing in a few degrading sentences here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at the guards in disdain and wished to pay them back for their earlier actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, even your ruler knows how powerful our master is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how dare you lowly vagabonds stop him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should be glad that you didn’t do anything drastic, or else today would be your death days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahhahahahhahaha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, they’re scared silly by us that they can’t even move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serves them right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who asked them to go against people they shouldn’t?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus smirked and felt overly confident again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more prominent nobles and rulers begged for his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what more of this little runt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he pleased him well enough, he might even give the runt a portrait of himself as a keepsake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he could sign it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard that many people liked this thing called autograph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runt will probably treasure it like gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus chuckled as he pictured Landon’s excited expression once he gave an autographed portrait to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon just smiled back at him playfully instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me. Marcus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like to believe that you’re a learned aristocrat, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you doubt me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, it’s not that I don’t believe you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, if you’re genuinely one... then shouldn’t you of all people be aware that when standing before a monarch, one must show their respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh... Who would’ve known that you’d drop all your manners once you left your home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus’ smile was quickly replaced with a fierce glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this bastard born from a lowly maid actually insulting him to his face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was outrageous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus’ eyes turned colder as his short fingernails dug into palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should I salute you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know how many people beg for my favours?\" Marcus said before sneering coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should he do so to Alec’s small brat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he were the child of some other ruler, he still wouldn’t do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eli Barn used to bow to him and greet him respectfully, and even the current Queen Penelope had bowed when she was 13 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how high his status is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s someone who, because of his fame, had also gathered an army of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his influence is so great that if he were to get into trouble, several people would rush to save him just to get in his good books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen several royals who were this brat’s age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they dared not piss him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t the brat call him uncle instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Marcus, I take it you don’t want to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad your opinion doesn’t count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now kneel!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--silence--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(’0’)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What just happened?\u003C\u002Fp>",1491,"2026-06-03T07:55:32.838Z","2026-06-03T07:55:39.972Z",1,"novelbin.me","8240df68283b91c64e2747cc26212137b63238618a589b50d78f0392ec6d30cc","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-846","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-844",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
