"But why aren't you trying to take the land by force? We have more than enough forces to do that," Jackson asked . Joonbum laughed dryly . Jackson was a man of this world and could not understand Joonbum's hesitation . "Do you want to know why?" "Yes . Our current method takes too much time . It takes time and it will create more problems in the future . I love peace, but these people will not be thankful for the hospitality . We will have to face the consequences and our people will suffer . We already have a power that no one can match . " Jackson explained heatedly and picked up a glass of water to gulp it down . "Our policies have achieved great success . We have ninety percent of newborn babies surviving through their childhood and the number of death by illness or accidents have been reduced thanks to our hospitals . " Jackson moved to the window and looked out at the various buildings and people around it . "Look, our present and future are bright . I couldn't believe it at first, but it was as you said . We have money and power . Prince . No, Commander . Your call is enough to bring forward thousands of men ready to fight to their deaths . Why do we have to choose a roundabout way? We have all sorts of powerful weapons such as guns too . " Jackson turned to Joonbum . As he mentioned, they had enough power to invade and conquer the land by force . The guns and the Marauder were enough to invade a small piece of land with a few people . "I just… don't want people dying anymore . That's all . " Joonbum sighed and answered calmly . Jackson's eye widened with shock . "I don't want anyone dying . I killed so I could survive, but should I kill more because I don't want to go through the hard way? I want to take the hard way and not kill anyone . I may be too selfish, but that's what I want . " Joonbum fell silent and Jackson couldn't speak more . * "He really did it . " A man in his thirties caressed his golden beard as he spoke in shock . "I was surprised . To think it was actually possible…" "Right . I was amazed . He's like from the legend . " "Really?" "Of course . Look at his accomplishments! And he's just in his late twenties!" The old man looked at him in surprise . "Yes… he did some amazing things… it seems possible… no, it must be . " He tried to deny the fact, but there was so much evidence of great deeds that this Joonbum managed to accomplish . The Khalodian Mountain Range was infamous for its monsters and treacherous paths that blocked any human from entering it . It was only the Ainos and Magnos that managed to live in that land . Yet the Khalodians were able to access it and managed to tap into its abundant resources . "Everyone thought they were crazy at first . But look at the grand city," Viscount Tyler Haxon said . The population grew too big and everyone knew what the typical outcome was, but the city prospered instead . "It's all because of the oil and coal within the land . " "Yes, that is the biggest reason . But how did they find out how to use it? And the waterway… and everything… Everything was so incredible . Honestly, I didn't want to come back . How about you?" Tyler turned to his advisor, Berman . "I didn't either, sir . " "Yeah . " "Anyone would . The place is like a dream . I never watched a play that was so entertaining before . And those attractions… Even the music! It was just outstanding . " "Yeah, I still think I was dreaming . I'm this close to applying for land management service . " "NO! Sir, please, you can't do that . That is foolish . We will end up surrendering the land to the king in the end . " Berman looked concerned . "Yeah, I know . It was very smart of them . But how long can we last?" Tyler frowned . His eyes seemed to glow brightly as he asked . He was a very wise man who would surely bring glory back to his family . However, the Prince of Khalodian was much more . "Nothing is eternal . We will have our chance and we should protect our land for that moment . We should accept the change and wait . " "Yeah, but…" Tyler tried to continue, but he turned to the letter that Berman was holding . "What is that? Do you need to report something?" "Oh, I'm sorry, sir . This is the letter from Count Amons from the neighboring land . " "Letter?" Tyler took the letter and noticed Count Amons' insignia . He began reading it through carefully .
