Chapter 199: The Flow of Fighting (2)
He stood up from his seat and left the VIP room of the gambling house slowly.
A VIP lounge located not far from the gambling VIP room.
Kaiwan shook her head with the dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon gathering there.
She said, “This is exactly what I expected! There was something special when they made eye contact with each other that day!”
Yong-ho wanted to ask about the reason why there was a VIP gambling room and restroom when there was no reception room, but now was not the time for him to dwell on it. After ignoring Kaiwan’s reaction, he convened an emergency meeting with his aides.
In the letter, the King of Fury expressed her wishes rather directly.
In summary, the gist of the letter was as follows.
<I want to make friends with the House of Mammon. Shall we start exchanges step by step, starting with small things?>
Ophelia said, “It is obvious that she is a kind person, contrary to the rumors that she is a warmonger.”
This time, Tigrius expressed his opinion.
“Looking at the letter, she is polite, and she is not making any unequal demands. I’m a bit bothered by the lack of details of her demands, but her proposal to start exchanges sounds very good.”
Alliance with the King of Fury was what the House of Mammon wanted, too.
The current situation was different from when Yong-ho had to fight the enemies everywhere in the southern area. He needed more allies now because he rose to the same position as the six kings in the demon world.
In fact, he was also quite excited because it was the first time somebody made a “proposal for a military alliance” to him after he became the master of the House of Mammon.
So, he asked, recalling the King of Fury’s face, “Do you think it’s okay if I just write I welcome the king’s proposal?”
Since he received her handwritten letter, it was polite for him to deliver his own letter, as well.
Ophelia replied, “It would be nice to let the King of Fury know that our war with the King of Gluttony has actually begun... I think it’s too early to tell her now.”
Tigrius added, “The King of Gluttony lost almost all of his subordinate spirits because of the battle today. Since he suffered such big damage, he won’t be able to do anything about the Hosue of Mammon for some time. We have enough time to build a good friendship with the King of Fury.” Yong-ho nodded and said unwittingly, “How fortunate! It looks like the King of Fury will be our ally, not an enemy.”
Now that Yong-ho started confronting the King of Gluttony, he had to avoid making a new enemy. However, another king, who happened to stand up against the King of Gluttony, reached out to him first. This was a situation where God helped Yong-ho.
“By the way, master, shouldn’t we prepare some gift for the King of Fury?”
Catalina asked, looking down at the golden box in her arms. Like the letter, the box also smelled extremely fragrant.
As if she was right, Ophelia immediately chimed in, “Her gift, Amrita, is not an ordinary gift. It is an expensive item, also called the elixir of immortality. Moreover, if Gandarva’s chieftain, King of Fury, has made it herself, its value is really tremendous.”
“Hmm.”
He was happy to receive a great gift, but the problem was that he had to send an equivalent gift to her. If he sent a gift with much less value than hers, it could negatively affect the King of Fury’s good intentions, who proposed starting exchanges.
Ophelia said again with a smile, “I’m going to select some of the good stuff from Stravadi’s collection. From the King of Fury’s viewpoint, the House of Mammon is a prestigious family that has just restored their past glory, so if you can only show your sincerity in a gift, it will do.”
In other words, the King of Fury would not expect any expensive gift commensurate with hers. At that moment, however, Catalina raised her hand somewhat timidly and said, “Uh... How about sending her some chicken, along with the gift?”
“Uh?”
Yong-ho blinked, not knowing what she was talking about, but other spirits reacted differently.
Eligos said first, “It’s not a bad idea. Chicken is also a special product of our Mammon family.”
“Wait a minute. Special product?”
When was it established as a special product?
Tigrius agreed with Eligos and said, “If we use the magic of conservation, it won’t take much time to send the chicken to the King of Fury. If you tell her you fried the chicken in person, I think it’s a very good gift because it carries your respect for her.”
“Hey, isn’t it an open exchange between kings?” asked Ophelia, giggling loudly.
“Well, it’s a secret exchange this time because the King of Fury doesn’t know yet that our master is the King of Greed. It also means our intention that we want to start exchanges step by step as she wanted. So, I also agree with Eli Brother’s opinion. I think it would be nice to include some chicken in the gift.”
Seeing them agreeing with her opinion, Catalina flapped her ears and tail, feeling proud.
Kaiwan tapped Yong-ho, who was confused at the moment.
“Be proud. Your chicken is the best.”
“Skull Skull,” yelled Skull as if to agree.
After all, Yong-ho accepted their suggestion and wore an apron to fry chickens.

“I think he is the best candidate as a groom,” Kirtimuka said with a confident expression.
Gardimundi, sitting on the other side, shook her head while eating chicken legs in both hands.
“Gosh! I think you were lured by some delicious food. If not, how come you are trying to entice our king to get married to that guy? Yum, yum. Don’t you think you’re going too far?”
Kirtimuka wanted to shout to her to eat the chicken in her mouth first before talking, but she narrowed her eyes because she was bothered by something.
Looking at the chicken bones piled up in front of Gardimundi, she said, “Is it okay for a chicken to eat chicken?”
“It’s not chicken, it’s chicken powder! I know you like to eat pork, you bitch!”
Gardimundi snapped sharply, but Kirtimuka laughed it off because she was satisfied with the fact that she made Gardimundi provocative, who was relaxed and composed.
“Anyway, that’s my overall evaluation of him. I’m not a person lured by delicious food.”
Having said it seriously, Kirtimuka turned her eyes at the King of Fury.
There were four colored boxes in front of her, and each of them contained fried chicken that she had never seen before.
Kirtimuka raised her finger when the King of Fury picked up what was called soy chicken.
“First of all, he is not under the control of any king.”
Tasting the savory soy sauce chicken, the King of Fury shrugged her shoulders slightly.
In no time, she looked at the seasoned chicken.
“Second, he is a man.”
The seasoned chicken tasted sour. In particular, chicken skin with plenty of seasoning was fantastic. The crispy and oily taste of the skin stimulated her appetite.
“Third, he is the king of the southern unclaimed land, not anywhere else. Geographically, it’s good to make him our ally.”
When the King of Fury’s gaze turned to Padak in the third box, Kirtimuka drew a picture with light in the air. After drawing the entire map of the demon world immediately, she made a lump with a new color.
“If our secret alliance with the King of Violence works properly, we can confront the north by joining hands with him in the whole southern land. And that’s not the only geographic advantage.”
The King of Fury put some radish among the chicken in her mouth. The radish, cut into just the right size to eat, took away the greasy taste in her mouth. Besides, its crunchy texture was so good.
Feeling satisfied, Gardimundi presented something called Coke to her.
Kirtimuka kept talking alone while the two were absorbed into enjoying the fried chicken and drinking Coke.
“I heard that there are not many people in the southern area, given its vast area. Besides, the population there has decreased because of the current clash there.”
In other words, the situation in the south was a sharp contrast with that in the land of the King of Fury.
The territory ruled by the King of Fury had lots of mountains, so there was not much land for the people to live. Besides, there were many countries sharing borders with it, so there occurred small disputes constantly. As a result, the population density was too high in the inland area where people could live stably.
“If our talks with the master of the House of Mammon goes very well and build a good relationship with them, we may be able to move some of our people to the south. Although the southern area is a bit barren, people still live there, so it would be nice for our people to live there,” she said.
Moreover, the southern land was much safer.
Kirtimuka still had doubts about the King of Violence, but if the King of Violence could really be trusted as an ally, like the King of Fury said, the situation would be completely different from now.
