In All Affairs Of State

/Frank POV/

(Now then, I can't exactly leave any of you, alright?) I said to them as they all saw the look in my eyes as I pulled out my Glock and placed a round in between all of their eyes, save for the little bastard. Of course the girl in his arms wasn't spared either as I also killed her. And I grabbed his dumbass and pistol whipped him in the base of his skull and hopefully knocked him out.

And I dragged the little shit after I splashed an invis pot on top of the two of us as I ran for the trees and quickly brought him to the spot where the Kriegers and the Orks were at. (I don't think I need to explain but I will. I need him as a pass for the inside of this place, so do me a favor and get that makeup ready. This is most likely gonna be one of the dumbest fucking plans that I have in mind and it's gonna be weird for me to have to do it.) I said to them as the Kriegers were ready with a makeshift makeup station as I immediately morphed myself into the form of a random ugly dude as I made sure to add extra scars on my body as I had them put on fake bruises and cuts on my face to really give it the sense that the little shit actually got me as a quick hunt. And then, I went over to the little fucker who was still knocked the hell out as I slapped the hell out of the fuckhead as he then woke up.

(W-what? W-WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? And why did you kill *insert female cultivator name*! She was one of the most bea-) and as he was talking, I forced his mouth open by putting my left hand on his cheeks and forced a pill down his throat. (The thing that I shoved into you is an extremely volatile explosive that will detonate in about 72 hours. And you, are going to be my mule into the palace. So what's it gonna be sonny boy? You gonna risk your life for the sake of a monarch that you never even saw, or are you going to be my scapegoat and help me kill your emperor?) I asked him as he was getting slowly but surely more terrified than what I originally did to him right in front of his face.

(Kid, I'm going to be the first one to say this, but, this isn't exactly a situation that you can get out of unscathed. On one hand, you'll lose your life, on the other, you'll also lose your life, but it'll be much much later than what you gotta anticipate for the first few days. You're going to to die, and I am going to assassinate your leader of the precious empire that you live in.) I said as the kid then looked at me and had a seemingly instant change of heart as he then laughed at my words. (Yeah I can definitely see why exactly this plan sounds stupid. But the funny thing is kid, I know for a fact that there will always be a chance of failure. This capital will be put into chaos,even if I die, which is very unlikely.) I said to him as I took the clothes that the Kriegers got me and threw them on the ground and cut them up in spots as I then added a little food coloring just to give it an extra bit of realism for what it was worth.

And when I put it on, I then forced my hair to grow with the use of Full Control and Full Transformation since it was easier to look like a vagrant than to try and pull off the princely look. (See? Now here's the catch kiddo, you're gonna have to be the one to explain everything. If you so much as say that I'm more than just a "bandit" your head will immediately get blown clean off, understood?) I said as I then cleared my throat a little as I then fell to the ground and had the Kriegers and the little fuck drag me to the edge of the forest and leave us there.

(Do your job, or I'll be forced to shower in your fucking intestines.) I said to him quietly as he then clicked his tongue and went to another entrance to the capital. (Young master *insert random Chinese name that makes sense to be from some fucking noble bloodline or some shit*! Where have you been? Your martial father has been worried for you when you went out with lady *insert name of the dead girl* and when he heard about the attack on one of the entrances, he thought of the worst!) some rando then came up as he then scrutinized me as I made my eyes look dead as hell as I slowed down my breathing and acted like I was weak as hell.

The fuckhead then ticked his tongue and shook his head as he said (This bastard killed all of the people in the entrance, including the lady. I wish to bring this man to justice and give him the death that the law states he should receive.) he played his role well as he was using that mouth for something much better than just spouting bullshit and making me annoyed again. (Ah, what a shame! The young lady was very skilled with her hands as well.) the guy said as I immediately started to judge these asshats for whatever the hell it was that they were saying. (Very well young master, I will do my duty and see to it that this criminal will be brought to justi-) and as he was talking, the kid then went and shook his head as he said with a very resolute gaze (No need my friend, I will see to it myself. I must make sure that this man is dealt with accordingly, or else my name isn't *insert the dude's name, IDFK*!) as he then walked out of the way of his servant or whatever the fuck he was.

(Good job kid, we got a long fucking way, but not enough time. I think you yourself should already know that this is going to be one of the worst possible things that you could do. And if I know my cases of monarchies, treason against the throne doesn't count as smart, unless you have the strength to back it up.) I whispered as the two of us were already in the city as he then growled at me like a fucking dog and said (You! Shut up! Do you want to get caught? I only did this since you have a weapon inside of me that will kill me, s don't make it look like have any idea of what I'm going through.) he said as we then went into an alleyway as I got up from being hauled by him as he stretched his back to make sure that it didn't hurt as much.

(Trust me kid, you were just a completely random variable that I decided to exploit and use for the sake of it. If you're of use to me and I don't exactly need you alive, then you'll most likely be a pawn. But to keep your panties out of a twist, I got a couple toys that know how to deal with situations such as cultivators.) I said to him ads h then looked back at me and asked (Cultivators? Wait, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T CULTIVATE AND YOU WANT TO KILL THE EMPE-) as he was shouting I then shut him up as a bunch of guards were on the main street as I then looked at him.

(Bitch, didn't you out two and two together when you realized that I gave you something that you can't sense? The reason why you can't sense this explosive is that it's not even cultivation-based in it's nature. It was artificial, and a select few actually know how to use something like this. If you cultivators even had half a braincell, you would have realized the versatility of things that don't use Profound Energy.) I said to him as I changed out of the rags and swapped into a suit as I then wiped the makeup off of my face. (We'll be going in by a different method now, follow my lead and don't make any unnecessary movements, or else our cover will be blown.) I said as I then got a cane and a tophat for myself and walked out of the alleyway with a dapper smile on my face as I then carefully navigated my ass out of the area and onto the main road to the palace. The fuckhead was right behind me as he was the one that was explaining that I was a foreign businessman as I then acted the role. I perused and nodded at fruits that don't even make sense, and smiled at cuts of meat that would make normal people disgusted.

And when we got close to the palace, I went into another alleyway and pulled out a potion. (Drink this, and you'll be invisible, and hop on my back and hold on tight. The amount of guards that are around the perimeter is just staggering. And I really don't want to waste my time when the emperor that you serve is going to end up getting out of there the moment they get news of an enemy at the gates.) I explained to him as he grit his teeth as I then felt his weight on my back as I also drank a pot. And then I flew out of the alleyway and over the gates. The walls may have been tall, but they haven't been exactly the most daunting thing there. There were a lot of flying troops that were ensuring that nobody got in without the proper permission. So I made sure to try my best to avoid them as I slowly but surely decreased our descent until we got into the reception room. There were, well, a lot of the nobles as I felt the fucker tap my back as he whispered that they were to met with each other and discuss war strategies and other things to try and keep the capital stable and the enemies gone.

{Okay then, which one of these bastards are going to be my ticket to the throne?} I think to myself as I then looked at all of them. {Or I could just walk in with the rest of them since it would be a lot easier for me to do it that way.} I thought as I then spotted an open door as they all rushed into it, actually getting fucking stuck since they were just, well, dumb. (Alright then kid, go and find a servant and wear this mask after you place it on the servant's face, it'll copy it and make you look like them. As for me, I'll be waiting around wherever the emperor's throne is at. Or better yet, I'll just watch over you as you do it. You are my guide to this place.) I said to him as the invisibility then ran out as we were inside an empty room.

(And then what? You'll kill the emperor? Pah, as if that's going to work. I have to admit that you were impressive with all of your strange Profound Treasures, but treasures won't save you when you get to the emperor themself. They'll immediately spot you, kill you, sentence me to treason, and then kill me.) he argued as I prepped the nullifier and looked up at the idiot. (Keep screaming big boy, you'll just make your death come closer. And since it's already been about two days, I could tell that you're sacred for your life. We've been at this for what? Forty-eight hours, and only now you wanna throw the towel. Hah, funny for you to do that. I got a plan, as always idiot stick.) I said as I gave him another invisibility potion and grinned at him. (We got a job you dipshit, and the Orks and Kriegers did their best to help us this far. Now it's out turn.) I said as he then looked at the potion and took it from my hands and chugged it all down. (Good lad, get on my back. This is gonna be a long long time for the final preparations.) I said as he then cursed me as I smiled. This was gonna be a great finale to the empress, that's for damn sure.
