852 Farewell, Morgs
After the men were beaten senseless to the point where they fainted, Landon smiled coldly.
Now, it was just himself and Marcus again.
With that, he began taking his revenge for their actions earlier on.
He punched, slapped, kicked and beat the sh** out of him mercilessly.
Pah Pah Pah Pah Pah.
Plop.
Bam.
Marcus flew to one of the pillars and was picked up again by Landon.
He was beaten so much that his entire face began to swell.
Was he going to die here?
"Wait, wait, wait!
That's enough.
I promise never to annoy you again.
So can you let me go?"
The bloody-nosed Marcus begged pitifully, with his very swollen face.
His men were all knocked out cold, so who would know about his begging.
He decided to lower his pride for now and find a way out A.S.A.P.
In his mind, he had already sworn to go back to Morgany and report this matter to the Art Society Leader.
At first, he thought of attacking Baymard.
But no matter how angry he was, he didn't know how many cards this bastard had up his sleeves.
That's why he decided to go big or go home.
If all the nobles and royals who were members of the arts society joined forces to attack Baymard, he didn't believe that this bastard would be able to survive.
In fact, no continent would be able to survive such a grand scale attack, talk less of a single empire.
Besides, the royals might even be the ones pushing him to attack Landon because of the manufacturing processes.
If they had that, then wouldn't Morgany be greater?
He had to bring a big storm to this puny monarch who calls himself Landon Barn.
After stopping here, his original plan was to head towards Arcadina to visit Alec Barn with a message from Morgany, as well as paint for some of the nobles on his waitlist.
But now, that had to wait.
He decided to make a U-turn and head straight back towards Morgany.
This matter had to be reported as soon as possible!
.
Landon looked at his begging face and knew that this guy was planning payback.
But so what?
To him, it didn't matter.
Why?
Because even if he wanted to go back to report the matter, reaching Morgany and travelling to his headquarters would undoubtedly take at least 12 months.
That's a year.
From there, just rallying up all forces in all far away locations would also take longer.
From there, they would sail back here again.
In short, it might take 2 and a half more years for them to attack him.
By then, he might've even begun his mission on the continent of Morgany.
So he would be meeting them, rather than they meeting him.
Nonetheless, there was still a possibility that he might not star on them yet because he intended to keep the most troublesome empires for last.
Whatever the case, whether they came to him or he went to them, the outcome would be the same.
He would win.
How could he not when he had the system?
They were bound to lose.
Moreover, he had ample time in his hands before they could even come back to attack him.
So why worry?
There was just no way out of it.
Communications and transportation were just too bad in this era, which ended up working in his favour.
Bottom line, he had time to play.
Nonetheless, the only reason why he allowed this guy to leave was that he wanted access into Morgany through the system.
That's right.
He placed a tracker on Marcus and his men.
Now, he would be able to see everything and know the important people who were backing this famous painter.
Plus, because of the tracker, he would be able to warp to any location close to Marcus.
For him, this was his gateway to Morgany.
.
There were only 3 scenarios that allowed him to warp.
The first was if he was given a specific mission by the system, like when the system warped him to save Lucia and her men in a matter of seconds.
The last scenario was if he had placed a tracker on his target, allowing him to warp close to the target.
And the last scenario is if he marked a place that he had already visited.
For example, he could go warp to several buildings and forest regions in Magoon island because he marked them in the system's map as his territory.
Of course, he couldn't mark the entire island; he had to pick specific buildings or trees in the forest as his warping point.
That was basically how it worked.
So he kept Marcus and his men alive for this very reason.
He wanted several entry points to Morgany.
As for the matter of their revenge, so what?
He was purposefully stimulating them to ensure that they wanted revenge.
Marcus and his men were of much use to him outside Baymard than in here.
So why not let them go?
He was looking forward to watching and witnessing how the man would make his plans in Morgany.
Landon stood very close to Marcus and looked at him from above condescendingly.
.
"As I said, I'll let you go, but after you finish taking your beatings."
"What?
Aren't we done?"
"No."

And so Landon continued his teachings on Marcus until he passed out as well.
"Send them out of Baymard and throw them on the docks."
"Yes, your majesty."
"Wait!"
"Empty their pockets and collect all their valuables.
In addition, collect all treasures on their ships too.
This will be compensation for their actions.
Heh.
Who asked them to come to my home and disrespect my people and I?"
Landon scoffed and looked at the knocked-out men in disdain.
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Your majesty, as anyone ever told you that you're petty?
After beating them cold, you still rob them?
[Landon: Hey! I never said I was a good guy.]
Brian and Misty rolled their eyes and rushed Landon out.
"Your majesty, you will be late for the meeting.
We have to go now."
"Your majesty, we've never failed at our duties.
And today will never be the day when we fail.
So please, move."
