Chapter 507: The Response of Canglang Province

Once Karoso finished explaining those matters, 『』 finally found the chance to ask, "Where is Null?"

"The last I heard of him, he was being judged and is now at the Card Maker Association…" Teresa shared what she knew.

Hearing that Null was at the Card Maker Association, 『』 also breathed a sigh of relief.

We can’t rely on other places, but we can trust the organization.

……

At the same time, in Canglang Province, Grand Duke Osiris’s office.

When he learned that Karoso was a ninth rank, Osiris felt proud inside.

He never thought he could raise a ninth rank, especially one under twenty years old.

He found it hard to imagine what Karoso had gone through to grow like this.

"Father, Karoso has gone crazy! Ninth rank, he has become a ninth rank! We in Canglang Province could have taken down the Kingdom of Persia and become a new kingdom, and this ninth rank Karoso could have kept our country strong for a hundred years. But what is he doing? He openly challenges the army of the Pande Empire with his ninth rank power! This is a huge mistake! If we face retaliation, Canglang Province will be gone! Karoso himself will die!" Saaya shouted wildly in Osiris’s office.

Osiris silently looked at the newspaper.

This matter has been reported, which means all countries must deal with Karoso.

Otherwise, a ninth rank that cannot take action would be a joke.

It is like the whole world has banned nuclear weapons, but one country used them anyway.

If he is not brought down, the prestige of the United Nations and the church will be lost.

At this moment, that country might not even have a chance to fight back, unless it is incredibly strong.

If it were an average situation, after using nuclear weapons and seeing other countries want to punish them, would they want to take everyone down with them? The people and the nobles would not agree, and then the king’s power would not be absolute anymore.

In fact, Osiris also really wants to know what his chosen heir is thinking.

Clearly, he has reached level nine, and could steadily expand Canglang Province into a kingdom. That would not only honor his ancestors, but also bring pride to everyone involved.

But what did Karoso do? He chose to attack a normal army.

Unless he has bigger ambitions, or crazier ideas.

Thinking about Karoso’s crazier ideas, recalling what Presea did, thinking about those weak revolutionary armies, and how Aileen has fought for so long without granting any titles to nobles, only to some knights, Osiris suddenly had some ideas.

This Karoso, he wouldn’t be trying to overthrow the entire noble class, would he?

A revolution for himself… that’s too crazy!

Unlike other nobles, Osiris’s first reaction was not to stop Karoso but to be interested.

The Colloa family, or rather the Spoleto family from back then, had a wild bloodline, but this wildness was kept hidden.

Tige stole the queen, the Forbidden Sea killed a god, Acheron challenged the unbeatable concept of a god again, which shows their madness.

Osiris cares a lot about Canglang Province and values his foundation, but he is different from those old nobles; he does not have so many considerations.

He started from nothing; if everything is lost, it is not the end.

If Karoso succeeds, what will Osiris become? The father of the revolution, the father of the builders of a new era.

His son, Osiris’s son, can represent an era and even start a new one!

A king, even a founding king, how many people can remember him? Only the people of his own country.

But if he helps Karoso, then the whole future will remember it in the history books.

Osiris gently rubbed the newspaper, his mind racing.

He did not know Karoso’s hidden cards, nor how much Karoso could really achieve.

If he made even a small mistake, it would be doom for everyone.

"Father, say something!" Saaya said excitedly.

"This time, it’s not just Karoso acting, but also Master 『』." Osiris suddenly said, "The two share a close bond."

"Father, at a time like this, you are still worried about a ninth-level Card Maker? A ninth-level Card Maker is powerful, but she will soon face punishment! Just like Master Null, she will be taken away by the Card Maker Association…" Saaya’s mind was quite clear.

"Issue the announcement: Karoso Colloa is expelled from the Colloa family, Osiris Colloa is no longer the duke of Canglang Province, and Kazan Colloa is established as the new duke of Canglang Province." Osiris said calmly, "Saaya has betrayed Canglang Province with two masters and joined the Presea Empire."

Although Osiris is not an old noble, as he gets older, he fears death more, and he is no longer the one with nothing.

Osiris cannot bet everything.

"Father, what do you mean?" Saaya’s face changed, "Red?"

Expelling Karoso, he understands, but this thing breaks bones and connects to tendons, and people will still hold Canglang Province accountable.

Also, why should I betray?

Red stood beside Osiris and silently shook his head.

"Do as I say." Osiris looked up at Saaya, "The Colloa family must not be destroyed."

Saaya is not a fool; his strategy skills are on par with Karoso’s.

Soon, he understood.

Father, he actually wants to help Karoso!

He wants to separate himself, me, and Karoso from Canglang Province.

I will go to Presea, betting that Presea can withstand this disaster.

Big brother, hold Canglang Province steady and continue to fight against the Kingdom of Persia, and see how far we can go.

And Karoso is like being raised in the wild.

Father, himself…

……

After Osiris announced the news, he immediately took a plane to a forest north of Canglang Province.

"You’re here." Minaret quietly sharpened her dagger. Her cards hadn’t been updated; they were still the eight-star ones, but she had been growing all along.

In the frozen land behind this forest, she did not know how many magical beasts she had killed or how many materials she had collected.

"Well, I want to talk to you about a deal," Osiris nodded.

"Don’t think I live a hidden life; I know everything that happens outside," Minaret said, looking at her dagger. "Karoso, no one can protect him."

"I just reached the ninth level two years ago, and I don’t even have a decent card. How can I help him?"

"What he has to face is the whole world."

"This is a fair deal," Osiris said calmly. "If Karoso hasn’t been surrounded and killed, then you can help him again. Or if he has a chance to win, you can help him then."

"What will you give in return?" Minaret asked Osiris.

"The entire Dark Guard of Canglang Province has been cut off from Canglang Province and no longer belongs to it; it is under my direct rule," Osiris said. "What I can offer you is a set of ninth-level cards."

"I risk my life for this… and you offer me just this?" Minaret squinted her eyes.

"What else do you want? As long as I have it."

"Your life is now mine."

"Sure."
