On one side is the world, and on the other is integrity.
Faced with this seemingly difficult choice that was actually not hard at all, the female Cleaner, after taking a big gulp of water, had to endure the nearly explosive sense of sha in her heart and tremblingly loosened...
"Who are you?!!!"
A loud shout ca from behind Leon, startling the female Cleaner so much that she almost lost control and added sothing extra to the river on the spot.
At the sa ti, looking at the strange man in front of him with his back turned, placing so "thing" into the underground hot river, the King of Harvey, with marks on his neck, couldn't help but widen his eyes and sternly asked while raising the unclogging stick in his hand:
"How did you get down here? Are you the one causing the anomaly in the underground hot river?"
"?"
Leon was slightly startled when he heard the inquiry. After looking back in confusion, he discovered a blue-haired young man with a big beard, leading a team of strong n in tal diving suits, swarming out from the descending ladder of the pipeline furnace.
Headed by the blue-haired young man, those burly n in strange attire, holding hooks and unclogging tools that looked obviously heavy, blocked the subrsible dock by the underground hot river completely, surrounding him tightly in the middle.
These people... are they the ones responsible for managing the pipeline furnace in the Northern Kingdom?
After identifying their attire, Leon nodded knowingly.
In order to spread the water of the underground hot river quickly, he had almost destroyed all the pipeline furnaces in Rehe City. Naturally, those responsible for handling the furnaces would co down to check the situation... But now the ti is tight, and there's no ti to bicker with them!
However, just as Leon was about to take action and temporarily knock out these workers, the female Cleaner, who popped her head out after hearing the commotion, pushed aside her wet hair and exclaid in surprise:
"Bro?"
Bro?!
Hearing the female Cleaner's words, both Leon and the blue-haired young man were taken aback simultaneously.
Leon, who reacted first, glanced at the blue-haired young man's eyebrows not hidden by his beard and then at his hair color which was the sa as the female Cleaner's. His eyes suddenly revealed a look of realization.
That's it, if he shaved the big beard covering his face, this man's eyebrows are at least forty percent similar to lly's, so he should be her elder brother, the current King of the Northern Kingdom.
At the sa ti, following the female Cleaner's voice, upon seeing that familiar face, the blue-haired young man went from surprise to anger, then imdiately rushed over, angrily wielding the gigantic unclogging stick.
"Let go of my sister... ah!"
Though being knocked to the ground by Leon after losing the unclogging stick, the blue-haired young man managed to get close enough, where his eyes imdiately focused. Grasping tightly onto a beast tooth hidden in his palm, he prepared to use the life-saving abnormal object the Aquarius Director gave him to rescue his sister, who appeared in the hot river for so unknown reason.
But at this mont, the female Cleaner in the hot river seed to recall sothing, suddenly extending a dripping wet arm to grip his wrist, stopping the activation of the beast tooth, then exclaid to Leon with eyes full of excitent:
"Quick! Throw him down here too!"
Huh?
Unlike the blue-haired young man who was dumbfounded on the spot, Leon imdiately understood the female Cleaner's intention to "add more," then looked at the dazed Harvey and asked:
"Have you had enough to eat?"
Huh??
The blue-haired young man's mind, almost crashing due to the absurdity and inability to keep up with Leon and the female Cleaner's thought process, subconsciously nodded.
Imdiately afterward, he felt his collar tighten, then was lifted violently into the air, being exceptionally roughly hoisted by his neckline, and then thrown with a splash into the boiling underground hot river.
"Your Majesty Harvey, you truly ca at the perfect ti!"
After genuinely praising him, Leon pressed the blue-haired King's terrified face into the river, scrubbing vigorously, attempting to expedite the dissolution of the [Calm] into the river water.
With the addition of the second [Calm] source, the [Calm Bathwater] that originally had its "concentration" decreased significantly, instantly intensified again, with a hazy light blue glow erging on the river surface.
Huh???
Seeing the madman holding down His Majesty and scrubbing him in the river, the ergency-dispatched uncloggers from the pipeline departnt nearly went insane, rushing at him with their tools in hand.
However, to save Rehe City, Leon, who was vigorously scrubbing the King, had no ti to bother with them and only turned his head to glare fiercely. The slight spillage of the Fear Authority instantly knocked down more than forty pipeline workers!
"Aren't you... glug glug... aren't you lly?"
Seeing the female Cleaner, who took over his "work" and scrubbed him vigorously in the underground hot river while Leon was handling the pipeline workers and temporarily had no ti to play with him, the angry and regretful blue-haired King couldn't help but inquire with eyes full of confusion:
"If you're not her, how... glug glug... did you know I have... that old man's... glug?"
"I am lly! You didn't mistake !"
After stuffing the beast tooth back into his arms, the female Cleaner, who averted the crisis of public humiliation, shouted gratefully to her elder brother:
"No ti to explain, just stay put! Soak here! Whether Rehe City can be saved depends on if you can buy enough ti!"
...
Still can't hold it...
Looking at the blazing white fireball gradually sinking on the [Sundial], the Director of Taurus, whose expression was sowhat weary, couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
The "One-Second Sun" mobilized through the [Sundial] can be used at night, but the intensity is only slightly over half of what it is during the day, not as reliable.
And considering that Leon should have already t up with Baltro and might need the [Sundial]'s support, he and Pisces had delayed the Northern Kingdom's sunset a bit more, but Leon never sent a signal, so it seems I've been busy for nothing.
"Mr. Taurus."
After resting a bit, the Director of Pisces, similarly wearing a weary expression, summoned a mirror with a wave and proposed:
"Let's take a look at Leon's situation first. He should have already t up with Baltro by now. If we wait until they enter the Earth's core passage, it'll be tough to see them."
"Hmm."
After nodding in agreent, the Director of Taurus placed the mirror on a stand and then brushed the mirror surface with his hand.
With a fleeting azure Aquarius pattern, this significantly more advanced [Celestial Globe Mirror] directly embedded itself into the stand, then across a distance of nearly a hundred thousand kiloters, locked onto the location where a certain reserve Aquarius Director was.
Indeed, already in the river.
Seeing the steamy scene on the other side of the mirror, the two Directors nodded in satisfaction, feeling significantly more relaxed.
With Leon and Baltro there, the Northern Kingdom's underground passage should be secure, and there's no need to worry about the Northern royal family... huh... what is Leon doing?
After brushing the mirror surface again, watching Leon pressing a man down and scrubbing him vigorously in the river, the two Directors were montarily stunned, then curiously exchanged a glance.
Is he... has he already captured soone from the Slaughter King Association and is torturing them in the river? Interrogating? But Leon shouldn't have been in the North for long, how co his actions are so swift this ti?
"Don't bla , huh."
While the two Directors were utterly perplexed, a soft, apologetic voice ca from the mirror, a certain reserve Aquarius Director.
"I know it's not pleasant, but I'm also forced to do this. I believe Your Majesty Harvey will surely understand, right?"
"..."
"..."
Harvey... Your Majesty?
