Chapter 234: the king of demolition
How long till we get there? Im already tired of the constant walking. Dickson complained again as he inclined his head to glance at the leader of the mercenaries, Jason.
Invisible sir, well get there in about an hour from now. Jason smoothly answered.
After so long, he already got used to Dicksons antics. As a hustler who came to the great Himalayan ranges to look for opportunities, knowing your situation was a must-learn skill that he must have.
After knowing his situation, adapting to his situation was the next, and from the way that he smoothly transited from a bully to a master bootlicker, it showed that he was an expert.
Ok, use the remaining time to tell me about your mercenary group. According to you, we are already in the middle height of the Himalayan peaks, what brought you here?
From my knowledge, weaklings like you have no place here.
Ignoring the savageness in Dicksons tone, Jason patted his chest before answering enthusiastically.
As invisible sir said, I and my subordinates are all weaklings. We came to this dangerous region because we cant find a foothold in our country, at least here, no one is safe.
And opportunities are abundant here. Its only in dangerous places like this that weaklings like us can become big from one leap, the great king of demolition is our greatest pioneer.
The name of my mercenary group is the crumb pickers mercenary group. We pick the crumbs and scraps left by the big guys with hopes of striking big one day.
Seeing the proud manner in which this man described his mercenary group, Dickson secretly rolled his eyes.
As you already know, Im the commander of the mercenary group, but if invisible sir wants, you can directly become the leader and the commander. No one will object, I guarantee that.
No need. Dicksons eyes twitched.
Ok, let me tell you the exploits and legendary feats of my mercenary group
As Jason continued rambling on and indulging Dicksons antics, Clark kept quiet at a corner. A word that this man said was ringing a bell in his mind, the king of demolition, who was he exactly?
If his memory was intact, he remembered that this was the second time that he was hearing this same name, which was weird in a big region such as the great Himalayan ranges.
The first time was when they entered their first shelter where 3 thugs impersonated the king of demolitions subordinates.
Then, he didnt take it seriously, but now, he started perceiving that there was more to this name. He wondered if he/she was a high-grade soldier, or what else could make him so famous?
Jason He suddenly called out to interrupt the blabbering mercenary.
Yes, 2nd invisible sir.
Clarks face twitched. Why did you call him invisible sir while me 2nd invisible sir?
Seeing that the man was already fidgeting in a panic to the enjoyment of Dickson, Clark shook his head before waving it away.
Tell me, I want to know about this so-called king of demolition.
Hearing his inquiry, Jasons eyes quickly lit up in excitement as they shone in the bright day like 2 additional suns.
This reaction made Clark more curious to know the identity of this king of demolition, now he was really interested in this guy.
As you wish, 2nd invisible master.
According to what I heard on arriving at the great Himalayan ranges, the king of demolition is the greatest rogue mercenary in all the peaks. He is a legend here, and so is his story.
They said that he is a child born from war, a teenager tempered from frost, and a man forged from blood. His bloodline is without blemish, he is the favored son of the Everest.
The legend started approximately 31 years ago when there was a clash of territory between the flourishing Kraken mercenary group and the declining fierce Tiger mercenary group.
Both his parents were mercenaries of the declining fierce tiger mercenary group, who were the underdogs in the great clash.
Coincidentally, at the time of the clash, his mother, the blessed one of the great Himalayan peaks was pregnant. As the wife of the leader of the mercenary group, she was protected by all the mercenaries.
According to the legend, the legendary battle dragged on for 7 days and 7 nights. Rain fell, thunder struck, exobeasts cried, avalanches and snowstorms were everywhere, even the heavens were overturned on that dreadful day.
After 7 days, the mercenaries of the fierce tigers started losing endurance. They still persevered to the end, but their opponents' overwhelming number did them in.
From the 6th hour of the 7th day, they started dying slowly under the bombardment of their archenemies.
During the 9th hour, amid the raging battle and raining blood, the first lady of the mercenary group finally gave birth to the son blessed by the Everest, who is now called the king of demolition.
The fight continued dragging on to the 12th hour, that was when the unshakable mountain, the mountain fist, the breaker of boulders, the leader of the fierce tigers finally died.
Before the great leader died completely, he was reluctant to let his newborn child and weak wife fall into the hands of his archenemies, so he took the both of them to the edge of a cliff.
He jumped down decisively to end his life and that of his wife. Though he did this without hesitation, he was reluctant to hand his newborn child over to death, so he offered him to the Everest.
On that day, the legend said that his manly voice was heard across the whole Milky way galaxy. He shouted:
Oh Everest, please, I can die from the sword because I have taken countless lives with it, but not my newborn child. He is just an innocent child who has not held a sword, spare him.
Take him and nurture him, I give him to you.
With that, the great leader of the fierce tigers threw his newborn child far away from his position. After this, he and his wife were finally submerged in the raging avalanche.
The world became dark on his death. The sun cried for another 7 days after he died, reinforcing his legendary acts.
To answer his plea, the Everest went to action. It used its mysterious ways to save the child that never cried from birth, this is what made the king of demolition that we know today.
His feats are known across the great Himalayan peaks, and other legendary feats keep on stacking on top to enlarge his legend.
He is the only blessed son of the great Cold Kong who lives at the zenith of the Everest.
After Jason stopped his passionate blabbering, a strange silence fell upon the group as everyone slowly internalized the mind-blowing information that was just dumped at them.
After hearing this, Clark was speechless. The only word that kept revolving around his head was- what the hell?
Damn! Jason, where did you hear such a nice fairytale? I can pay a million to hear more, you did a good job man. Before Clark could speak, Dickson already beat him to it.
But, invisible sir, its the truth. Jason replied with a voice that kept a constant weakening tone.
Truth?? Truth, yeah its the truth. You really know the drill, when you say that, people will believe it more. To be sincere, I felt some real goosebumps there man.
I like you now, I think youll be a nice buddy. What do you think?
Yes, invisible sir, Im ready to do anything that you want. Jason answered humbly.
As Dickson was about to spout more nonsense, Clark finally interrupted him. At times, he felt a little speechless at how this guy could switch from a fierce powerhouse to a blabbering fool so impeccably.
Jason, is this story real? Clark asked skeptically.
It is true 2nd invisible sir. I bet on my life that I did not lie, that is the undiluted truth. Every veteran who has stayed in the Everest for more than 10 years knows it.
Ok, I understand. What of the legendary Cold Kong, is it true that he stays at the zenith of the Everest?
Yes, this is even more true. It was long ago, but I once had the privilege of seeing his napping silhouette that was reflected from the top level of the mountain.
It was so, magnificent. Nothing else could best describe it.
What the hell? A napping ape? Clark was speechless.
Ahem, ok. Clark quickly interrupted him as he knew that if left alone, this could lead to another legendary tale.
I want you to tell me the legendary deeds of the king of demolition.
Ok, Im at your service 2nd, invisible sir.
His first well-known feat is when he was just a 6-year-old kid, back
As Jason continued doing his job of narrating the deeds of the king of demolition, all his subordinates kept quiet while humbly following from the back. After Dickson trashed them, they finally learned some manners.
Seeing their leader who was speaking so freely with the same man who beat him up a moment ago, they suddenly felt admiration for him.
He was speaking about the legend of someone else without knowing that he himself was a legend. It is a legendary feat to speak so coolly with someone who just trashed you.
Now they knew why this mercenary group was able to last in this treacherous region for 10 whole years.
Invisible sirs, we are here. The female mercenary who served Clark and Dickson suddenly spoke out at this moment, after much pushing from her comrades.
Oh, we arrived so fast. Dickson was surprised on seeing the enormous size of this shelter. Jason quickly read the atmosphere, as he smoothly ended his narration.
Clark was even more surprised. From the little that he could see, he already recognized a lot of technological applications that were applied here.
Do you think Diana led the others here? Dickson finally asked.
Though he tried to use this funny mercenary leader that he found to vent and keep his emotions in check, it was inevitable that he still felt worried about the fate of his fiance.
No need to ask, they are here. Benny has already seen us.
Dickson opened his eyes wide in joy, as he saw Clarks second in command coming out of the shelter to greet them. He suddenly felt like lying down leisurely on the soft snow to sleep.
After that life-threatening encounter, he and his fiance survived. The world suddenly seemed brighter to him.
Clark, welcome, weve all been worried about you.
Benny finally welcomed his friend with a warm hug, as they both indulged themselves in the beauty of reunion.
With Benny with them, the guards of the shelter did not come to block them, granting them unhindered passage inside. When the door guards asked them for money, Clark and Dickson turned to face Jason.
The mercenary forced a smile on seeing their stare. Dont worry invisible sirs, I will take care of it.
Ok, good. Dickson patted his back with a smile before they swaggered inside the shelter.
