Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 176: Scheming and Scheming

Vincent, who had wiped out all the monsters in one glance, turned to look at the teachers and students of Quinn School. He then shouted loudly, “Everyone has worked hard! Leave the rest to me!”

“Alright!”

“Come on, Vincent!”

“Go! Quinn’s pride!”

All of Quinn’s teachers and students raised their arms and shouted excitedly.

Vincent looked at the familiar faces, nodded, and then turned to fly into the sky.

In just one day, the God-Slaying squad had split up and supported all the Black Hole battlefields within Falcon Country. Not only did they save a large number of human soldiers who were in dire straits, but they had also repelled the terrifying Monster Horde’s attacks that had lasted for several months. It made people feel a rare sense of peace.

When people found out that the God-Slaying squad that saved the world was a group formed by Quinn’s teacher and students, and that their teacher, Chris was the first ruler-class superpowered user in hundreds of years, they all thanked the heavens in excitement. The God-Slaying squad had given the Human Race true hope.

Emperor Swain Marquez held a grand banquet at Quinn School to celebrate the God-Slaying squad’s victory!

At the celebration banquet, Swain held his head high. He looked at Teacher Chris from time to time and said with a slight smile, “Everyone, raise your glasses and toast to our meritorious subjects. The Falcon Country is proud to have you!”

The military representatives present at the banquet, as well as the representatives of the major schools, raised their glasses and followed the emperor to toast to Vincent and his team.

Vincent and the others felt a little uncomfortable about the treatment that they had received. However, after experiencing countless difficulties and dangers, the joy of finally returning to the Human World was still very strong. They raised their glasses and drank with the others.

After putting down his wine glass, Swain’s eyes turned to everyone. He said, “I believe that everyone already knows that our teacher Chris has successfully become a ruler-class superpowered person. The other members of the team have the strength of a king-class superpowered person. I wonder if you can share your secret regarding training so that everyone can increase their strength in a short period of time and protect our world together!”

After hearing this, everyone at the banquet pricked up their ears and stared at Teacher Chris and the others nervously. They did not want to miss a single word that they said.

Teacher Chris looked very embarrassed. This was because ever since she displayed her strength on the battlefield, His Majesty Swain had asked her more than once about the secret of her advancement. She had already reported it truthfully, but Swain did not seem to be satisfied with her answer.

“Your Majesty, there are still many worlds after the Black Hole. Along with the territories of the 10,000 races, the cultivation speed is also different in the various worlds. Some worlds can increase cultivation speed whilst reducing the difficulty of breaking through, making it easy to level up. If everyone wishes to increase their cultivation, the God-Slaying squad can lead everyone into the Black Hole world and head to a world that can increase their strength for cultivation!”

Teacher Chris stood up and repeated what she had said to Swain.

Swain’s expression turned cold and said unhappily, “The Black Hole, it’s extremely dangerous. I can’t let all the elites of the Human Race go in and risk their lives. I’m only asking if you have any methods to increase your cultivation speed in our world!”

Teacher Chris lowered her head and replied, “No, no!”

The atmosphere of the banquet, which was originally filled with laughter, suddenly became extremely heavy, causing everyone to be greatly surprised.

Vincent and the others looked at Swain in astonishment. They did not know why his attitude had changed so much. He even questioned Teacher Chris in public.

“Is this the outstanding teacher of our Falcon Country? She only cares about raising her own cultivation, but she had forgotten to seek a way to raise the strength of the Human Race. Can the task of the God-Slaying squad be considered as completed?”

Swain slammed the table heavily and sighed with disappointment.

Vincent stood up and said, “Your Majesty the Emperor! The God-Slaying squad had explored the Black Hole world and obtained detailed information about many worlds, as well as the culprit behind the Black Hole crisis. After returning, they had stopped the violent Monster Horde and obtained temporary peace. I believe that the God-Slaying squad has already accomplished the task with outstanding excellence!”

Swain looked at Vincent, who had come forward to raise his objections. His eyelids twitched, and he sighed in his heart. As expected, the thing that he was most worried about had happened!

As the emperor, Swain valued his position as the ruler the most. As the God-Slaying squad had returned, not only were their strength and level comparable to his, but they had also saved the world from the abyss of suffering and made outstanding contributions. They were a serious threat to his position.

That was why Swain was eager to find a way to boost his strength. He had reprimanded Teacher Chris in public to test the attitude of the other squad members. If they were still loyal to him, they should take the initiative to admit their mistakes and not contradict him in public like Vincent!

“Your Majesty, today is a joyous day. We have to celebrate the God-Slaying squad’s victory! Let’s not talk about these unpleasant topics. Everyone, continue drinking!”

At that moment, the principals of the three schools stepped forward to mediate the situation and had smiles on their faces.

Swain let out a deep sigh and said, “Forget it. This king will not care about these things. Everyone, continue drinking!”

However, the state of the following banquet had completely changed, causing everyone to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just as the atmosphere became extremely awkward, the Falcon Country’s Foreign Affairs Minister hurriedly walked in. He reported to Swain, “Your Majesty, the Arctic Country, Scorching Sun Country, and Scarlet Country have all heard that the God-Slaying squad has successfully repelled the Monster Horde. They have requested for the God-Slaying squad to help them fight against the Monster Horde. They are willing to provide them with rewards!”

Upon hearing this, Swain was truly happy. The four great countries had ruled over their territories for a long time. None of them had ever submitted to anyone. Moreover, in terms of strength, even though the emperors of the various countries were all king-class superpowered individuals, Swain’s strength was at the bottom of the four emperors, so he had never been able to raise his head.

As the God-Slaying squad had become famous after a single battle, the other countries immediately came begging for help. This gave Swain a chance to vent his anger!

“If they want to ask for help, do we have to help them? Tell them that unless they submit to the Falcon Country in the future, we will not provide any help!” said Swain arrogantly.

However, Swain’s behavior disappointed everyone that was present.

The Human Race was in danger. It was not a problem for one country, but the life and death of the entire Human Race. This was not the time to spread the prestige of the country. It was clearly taking advantage of people who were in danger. It was a despicable act!

The military representatives who survived on the battlefield, as well as the teachers and students of the various schools, who had undergone the baptism of the flames of war, had a change in heart. They knew that in order to protect the Human Race, everyone had to do their part.

The structure of His Majesty the Emperor was obviously too small!

The Foreign Affairs Minister wiped the sweat off his forehead and said helplessly, “Yes, I’ll inform the various countries right away!”

“Wait!”

At that moment, Vincent suddenly stood up and approached the Foreign Affairs Minister. The other members of the God-Slaying squad also stood up. The resolute expressions on their faces indicated that they did not need to discuss and had already reached an agreement.

“Vincent, you are the captain of the God-Slaying squad, but you don’t have the right to criticize the national government. What do you want to do?” asked Swain with some displeasure.

Vincent’s gaze swept over Quinn’s teachers and students, as well as the Falcon Country’s military representatives. After seeing their supportive gazes, he nodded his head with great gratification and said, “The Black Hole, no matter which country it attacks, will spread to the entire Human Race. The God-Slaying squad must not sit idly by!”

Swain was so angry that his nose was crooked. After taking two deep breaths, he glared at Vincent and said, “Shut up! I did not say that I would not help them, but as the Falcon Country’s emperor, you should seek more benefits for the country. And because of the people of the Falcon Country, you should also put the honor of the country first. Do you understand?”

Vincent snorted and said, “The God-Slaying squad is a divine artifact of the Human Race. It will never become a bargaining chip for someone or a country to seek benefits!”

“You!”

Swain looked at Vincent angrily and almost passed out.

The others at the banquet gave Vincent a thumbs up and sighed in their heart. The Human Race had hope.

“God-Slaying squad, listen up. Gather immediately and rush to the other three countries!”

Vincent ignored Swain and turned around to give the order.

“Yes!”

The members of the squad left their seats one after another and stood in a row in front of Vincent. They were ready to depart at any moment.

Even Teacher Chris who was the strongest person in the world in the public’s eye did not hesitate at all. She listened to Vincent’s orders and followed him accordingly.

“Let’s go!”

Vincent gave the order and led the squad out of the banquet. They headed straight for the border.

“Good! This is the hope of our Human Race, the righteousness in our hearts, the maintenance of the world!”

The military representative seemed to have drunk too much as he praised Vincent and the others loudly. He looked at the wine cup in his hand, threw it on the ground, and smashed it into pieces. He then stood up and said, “As soldiers, how can we be worse than a group of children? The Monster Horde only retreated, the Black Hole is not closed yet. All those present, who are soldiers, go back and continue to train. Increase your strength and protect the Human Race!”

“Yes!”

All the soldiers present stood up and left the banquet after hearing that. They left the banquet firmly.

“Then let’s go as well!”

Quinn’s teachers and students did not say anything more. They used their actions to show their support for Vincent.

Swain looked at the people who were leaving the banquet one after another. The fury in his eyes seemed to be burning as if it was real. However, he could only clench his fists tightly and hold them in.

At that moment, the representative of St. John’s school stood up. He took the initiative to say, “Your Majesty! I think the people from Quinn School are a little blind and arrogant. It’s time to suppress them! The people of the military are also ignoring the imperial power. It seems like they should be punished as well! If there’s a need, our St. John’s school will definitely follow the emperor’s lead!”

Swain raised his head and asked with a frown, “Who are you?”

“I am Louis, a student of St. John’s School. During the Monster Horde, St. John had suffered heavy casualties. I am now the teacher!”

The person replied with a smile.

Swain sized up Louis, and his brows relaxed slightly. He said, “Louis, very good! You know how to share the country’s worries. I am very pleased that St. John has you! If you have any thoughts, you can tell me!”
