Chapter 288

Lucky 288

In the middle of a private field, a single barn was standing, people were busy collecting their equipment. They got intel that their location was compromised.

"What do you think?"

Suddenly, the people flinched at a voice of a woman. The woman started walking out of the darkness. Next to her was a tall mid-forties man who had short red hair.

"They are enough."

Bronal nodded and glanced over the place and confirmed that these people were terrorists. The illegal weapons that they were holding were enough for him to decide.

"So, start your job disciple."

Esmeralda disappeared and Bronal was left behind.

Then, he flicked his fingers and a giant flame bird materialized and engulfed the whole place.

"Arrrgghh--!"

The screams of the terrorists echoed but no one saved them. In the first place, their job was to die and become a stepping stone.

The terrorists had a few 3rd Advanced but in front of a DemiGod like Bronal Robinson, they were nothing. In a normal situation, they might have the upper hand but Bronal was a master of destruction.

"Caawwww!!"

The Phoneix roared and burned their bodies alive.

Bronal spared three people to be tortured later on. Esmeralda lost a few toys and she wanted more.

It did not take a long time for Bronal to eliminate the terrorists. The whole barn turned into ashes together with the terrorists.

"You did a nice job."

Esmeralda showed up after work. This time, she was holding a rock.

"Now... Let's face the media that is waiting for us."

She chuckled. This was the best way to promote her name.

Just as they expected, the media and a whole bunch of old people showed up after Bronal cleaned the place.

They received intel that this group of terrorists was responsible for the disappearance of the Fragment of Excalibur.

"Miss Vice President! Please look this way!"

The reporters were fighting over Esmeralda who was holding the Fragment of Excalibur.

"Miss Vice President! Is that the--"

The reporters gasped when they found that Esmeralda was holding a rock. Based on their information, this certain Fragment of Excalibur was in a form of a rock.

"Hm, we retrieved the Fragment and captured the terrorists!"

Esmeralda announced and raised the rock. The rock started glowing until it covered the whole place. It was probably a way of publicity. Now that this whole situation was being broadcast live, Esmeralda was doing her best to get to the citizens' hearts.

'Here's your Fragment, now give me your vote, fufu.'

The reporters started taking pictures crazily. Their cameras never leave Esmeralda and the Fragment. The reporters flooded her with questions and Esmeralda answered those that she wanted to answer.

"That's right, now that we have the Fragment, the people of Dellia don't have to be afraid anymore."

She assured them. She looked amazing, like a hero, and the reporters were enthusiastic to ask her more.

Esmeralda caught the limelight just as she planned. She found a group of terrorists and used this situation to announce that she retrieved the Fragment.

Only Bronal knew of this plan and he did not object, especially when his freedom was related to it.

"Of course, I can't haggle all of the honor, General Bronal Robinson helped me too."

Esmeralda added and the cameras went to Bronal for a second. Bronal nodded and kept his mouth shut.

"General... Thank you."

The old Senate Leader Tito Sotsot approached him and said his gratitude. This time, he was genuinely thankful. The other Senators were behind him. Perhaps they want to get some publicity too by arriving in this place.

"I just did what I have to do."

"I know that we have a few bitter misunderstandings but I hope that this will not cause a crack in our relationship."

"Don't worry Senate Leader, I will keep my duty."

"That's good to hear."

The Senators behind Tito Sotsot were relieved to hear it. They started praising Bronal as if they didn't push him to jail.

"By the way, I heard what happened in your Clan... If you need help, just ask me."

"Thank you Senate Leader."

The old Senator Tito Sotsot patted his shoulder and left. Tito Sotsot just wants to see if they would retrieve the Fragment of Excalibur. Now that everything was over, he wanted to take a rest.

As for the problem with the Presidential Election, to be honest, he didn't care much. Esmeralda prefers the military and she wanted to settle the account with the neighboring countries, but overall, Esmeralda is a great leader, someone whom he respects.

The Senators left the place after being interviewed by the reporters. Of course, they praised Bronal and Esmeralda but they did not forget to add their participation and contribution. Just like the Presidential Election, they have Senatorial Election too.

Bronal watched the whole farce happening. Perhaps he was the only one who understood that the real person who retrieved the Fragment was not here.

'I don't who he is, but he is the real hero. It's a mystery why he gave the Fragment to Esmeralda instead of selling it to the other countries, perhaps he is a Dellian.'

... He did not know that the hero he was talking about was currently plowing his daughter, ahem.

'With this, I'm now free.'

Bronal heard that Scarlett became the Matriarch and she killed her relatives. Bronal did not blame her, it was a must to show her conviction. The death of Dario would be an example.

'All I can do is help her.'

Bronal was stripped of his position but he was not bitter. Being a leader of a powerful Clan is not an easy job. He would help Scarlett and ease her job as much as he could.

"Maybe this is what it means to let the child go and grow."

He has been liberated now that the Blood Moon was over.

"Scarlett, I'm proud of you."

He muttered.

"Miss Vice President, now that you announced that you're running for the Presidential Election, who is going to be your Vice-president?"

A reporter curiously asked.

"Isn't it obvious? General Bronal is a great leader, I believe he can help me as a Vice President."

Esmeralda pointed at him. Having a devilish grin.

'... Shit.'

Bronal said in his mind.
