The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 35: The effect of saving Rowan Starlight

​ Inside the car, Kayn can no longer hold onto his curiosity, thus he finally decided to ask Selina, "Where are we going?"

This event had never happened as far as he knew. In his memory, after the class ended, he immediately went back home and just went on with his daily routine, which is studying and resting. And in the evening, he would go to work at his part-time job.

Was this perhaps the effect of him helping Rowan Starlight?

But the effect shouldn\'t be immediate, right?

Moreover, how is this in any way related to Rowan Starlight?

"Nothing important," Selina replied. But the look of worry on her face evidently betrays her words.

"You wouldn\'t have that look of worry if that was really the case,"

"Was I really too obvious?"

"Until now, you still suck at hiding secrets," Kayn let out a short chuckle. His girlfriend is good at many things, but lying was not one of them. Every time she tries to lie, it would show on her face, thus letting everyone know the truth.

"Aysttt, this is very annoying!" Selina felt frustrated.

"So, what\'s this all about? As far as I know, you wouldn\'t fetch me from school if it isn\'t for something important. You know that you can freely tell me everything, right? So, just tell me. Is there something or someone making you worry- "

"Alright! Alight! I am going to tell you!" Selina puffed her red cheeks. "I was worried about you!"

"Eh, why?" Kayn wondered why. As far as he knew, he didn\'t do anything the day before or the day after that warrants her worry about him. Wait! Did she perhaps plant an investigator or someone to follow after him? And that person told her what he did today to save Rowan Starlight?

"I heard from one of my friends working in the Starlight Hero Academy that your name was mentioned during the meeting of the younger generation of the Starlight Family. I don\'t know what you did, but I hope you won\'t involve yourself with that family in any sort of way,"

"My father told me that the future of that family is going to be difficult because of how the younger generation is behaving with each other. He also added that there\'s a huge chance for it to turn into a bloodbath with only the strongest of their younger generation could survive. Anyone involved who isn\'t part of the Starlight Family would have a high chance of dying along that bloodbath,"

Hearing Selina\'s words, Kayn\'s face instantly turned serious. He was already expecting something like this to happen. But he didn\'t expect that it would be this soon. It was only some time ago that he went to save Rowan Starlight, yet his brothers and sisters already had a meeting to discuss the failed attempt. Just how big was the problem for them to react in such a way?!

Did he perhaps unknowingly involve himself in a huge issue within their household? If that is indeed the case, then his previous assumption before would have to be taken into further consideration.

"How bad was it?"

"Through the help of my friend and some of his trusted aides, they were, fortunately, able to loosen up some of their attention to you. However, he warned me that I should tell my boyfriend not to touch any matters related to the Starlight Family from now on, especially considering that they actually lost something really important today. If you do it again, there\'s a huge chance your life would be in danger and he won\'t be able to help anymore," Selina warned sternly.

Kayn instantly realized that the main reason why he nearly got into a huge mess is simply that he failed to consider one important detail, the Sitan\'s Ring.

The younger generation probably holds Sitan\'s Ring in high regard. Most likely the real reason for their meeting wasn\'t for the failed attempt, but to discuss the threat that Rowan Starlight could bring to them now that he possesses the Sitan\'s Ring once again.

"I understand," Kayn nodded his head. "By the way, did he mention any information related to Rowan Starlight?"

"Did you listen to what I have just said?!" Selina can\'t believe that despite everything she had just said, Kayn would still ask her about someone from the Starlight Family.

"I did. It\'s just that the reason why I got involved in their matter in the first place was that I saw a bunch of people bullying Rowan Starlight. I didn\'t know who those people were, but I sure do know that they didn\'t belong to the Starlight Hero Academy,"

"That\'s all the more reason why you shouldn\'t have involved yourself," Selina sighed helplessly.

"If it was just Carlos and his goons, I would have just left them be since I know that guy has no chance of redeeming himself regardless of what I do. But those people were different. They were wearing black suits and had a serious dangerous vibe around them. I thought that they were trying to harm the Starlight Hero Academy through Rowan Starlight, so as one of the school\'s students, I did what I had to do," Kayn explained.

"That friend of mine did mention that it was the fault of a guy named Raul as he had brought a bunch of conspicuous people into the school, saying that anyone who saw them would immediately think that something is wrong. If I remembered correctly, they labeled your involvement as a mere accident, which I seriously hope to be the real case,"

"You\'re not hiding anything from me, are you?"

"Of course, not!" Kayn didn\'t hesitate to reply. To tell the truth, there\'s actually no harm in telling Selina about his recent reincarnation and his mission. He also doesn\'t see anything wrong with telling her everything that he knew about the \'Tower\' and the goal of the Gods. However, he decided to hold himself as he knew that Natas, the one inside the \'Tower\', would tell her eventually about this information. Telling her now might just harm her as she isn\'t in the right state of mind to receive and accept it. He would just let time do its work and let fate flow in its natural order.

"Well, since you\'ve said what you have to say, why are we still continuing with this trip?" Kayn asked as he notices that their car has reached outside the Moon Dragon City. He wasn\'t worried that a monster might attack them as every highway outside the cities all over the content of the Dragon Beast Republic is tightly protected by their military. That\'s because a highway is one of the only remaining three safe ways to travel from one city to another on Earth. The other two are through the use of trains and aircraft. Other than these three, there is a huge chance that monsters would attack the mode of transportation being used.

"I received a mission to clear some Monster Points outside the Moon Dragon City from my father in case they would form into a Monster Horde someday,"

Monster Points is a term used to describe a hotspot location for monsters to gather. A certain area in the wild would only be labeled as Monster Points when the number of monsters that gathered in that said area has reached more than ten monsters each coming from different species, as that is highly unlikely to be the case when it comes to these dominant and territorial creatures.

On the other hand, Monster Horde is an event where more than ten species of monsters gather together to go on a rampage and is moving straight toward a city. There are different categories for Monster Horde, respectively green, yellow, red, purple, and black. Green is the weakest, and black is the most dangerous. Albeit, even if it\'s green it\'s already classified as extremely dangerous and would require the Heroes\' help rather than merely the military forces that belong to the Ten World Leaders.

"I was on my way over there when I received the report from that friend of mine, so I decided to might as well bring you along with me. Anyways, you are short on credit, right? Well, you always are…"

"I know that you don\'t like to receive free meals, so I am going to temporarily lend you some weapons and other equipment for you to use to kill any monsters you can handle. You can keep the loot from the monsters that you\'ve killed after deducting some taxes. As for those that I and Leah killed, they belong to us, understood?"

Hearing Selina\'s offer, Kayn didn\'t hesitate to nod his head.

Kayn remembered that Selina indeed went on an adventure with Leah during this time. He found out about it when she called and inform her of what she was doing, albeit it was only after she finished doing it. What a lucky girlfriend she has, right? Only informing her boyfriend when she is certain he won\'t have anything to nag her about.

"I\'ve seen your ability with my own eyes, so don\'t say that I brought you here without considering that," Selina crossed her arms in front of her breast.

"You\'re silly if you think that I would say that," Kayn smiled gratefully. Who on Earth would decline an opportunity to earn quick Credit? He even accepted Rys\' request because of that. Though there was also another reason for it. Regardless, there\'s no problem with earning more Credits.

"We are here," Leah informs them of their arrival.
