Destroying My Own World

Chapter 52: Russia.

"We got a piece of information that Mykel Alester has landed in Moscow. Whatever he’s doing there, I think he’s planning something behind our back," Johan said as he stared out the window and looked at the beautiful garden behind the castle.

"What do you think he’s doing there? I don’t think he understands what’s in there and why we haven’t tried to take that country over the past two decades. Whatever he’s doing there, I think he’s just interested in that woman and trying to recruit her," Alfredo answered as he tapped his fingers on the desk.

"What if he’s there not for that woman? Also, He knows about our existence, why are you still doing business with him?" Johan asked as he glanced at Alfredo behind him.

"Does it even matter now? So far there’s no problem with doing business with him. We got a lot of benefits with nothing to sacrifice. We have collected thousands of demon bodies, and one greater demon. We can summon a Duke and this time he doesn’t have to be placed inside a human body, like you or Agares and the others," Alfredo answered and explained as he turned around to look at Johan. "Let’s just watch because right now we have the upper hand. No matter how strong he is, he’s not going to be able to kill a Duke," Alfredo continued.

"We have lost Eligos, and she holds a lot of legions. We should summon her again, and this time in her true form. As long as she’s here with us, we will be unstoppable," Johan said. "I’m asking you to be more careful around him. He’s too powerful to be underestimated," Johan continued and walked away.

Alfredo bowed his head and kept it down until Johan left his office. He then looked at the TV and listened to the speech that Lazarus gave. He then turned it off because he started to see that Mykel might have used the opportunity that Alfredo gave him and used it for his own benefit.

Mykel and the others left the airport, but then they realized there were so many armored cars parked outside. The soldiers were protecting the airport from demons, and it seemed that the capital city was still unsafe for them. Suddenly a luxury sedan came and parked right in front of where Mykel was, and then a man in a uniform came out with a lot of badges and medals on his attire.

The man was ordering the soldiers around and suddenly all of them walked toward the entrance and pointed their guns at Mykel and the others. It surprised them, but they found it funny for those soldiers to threaten them with guns.

"This is first," Aurea said as she looked at the twenty-six soldiers around her.

"Mykel Alester, what’s your business here?" The man asked.

"Business," Mykel answered.

"We don’t do business here, Mykel Alester. I suggest you leave this country now or you will be shot on the spot," The man said as he raised his left hand.

All the soldiers removed the safety on their guns and pointed them at Mykel’s and the others’ heads. Before Mykel could do something about it, a limo came and parked right behind the man’s car. It surprised the man when he saw the badge on the car’s hood, and he looked annoyed by it.

A woman in an all-white dress came out with her long braided brown hair. She looked at how the soldiers pointed their guns at Mykel, and then she raised her hand with her index finger out. A barrier protected Mykel and the others, and then the barrier expanded and sent the soldiers and the man away.

Mykel scoffed as he walked out of the limo since he found it fascinating. He realized why Alfredo couldn’t get Russia on his side, and the reason was that the people were living in fear. He couldn’t get the Russians to go against their leader because he was a tyrant.

They all then followed Kseniya into the palace, and the people around them judgingly stared at them. When they entered the palace, they were welcomed by the maids and servants which was similar to when they were in Alfredo’s castle.

"He’s waiting for you upstairs. He will guide you there, and I’ll stay here and accompany your friends over here. You don’t have to worry, we won’t hurt them," Kseniya said as she pointed at the servant standing next to her.

"I’m not worried about that. Nobody can hurt them even if you guys tried to," Mykel replied. "But we are a guest here, so watch your manners," Mykel said to Aurea and the others.

They all nodded their heads with understanding and watched Mykel leave on his own.

Mykel entered the throne room and saw a man sitting on the throne like a king. He was resting his head on his fist and stared Mykel in the eye with a serious expression. The servant immediately left and closed the door in front of him to give Mykel and the man privacy.

"I heard you’re here for business. What kind of business for someone like you to come all the way here?" The man asked as he kept staring at Mykel.

"Do you know who Alfredo Redshield is?" Mykel asked as he kept standing in front of the door.

"That’s the last thing I want to hear, that name. What do you want?" The man asked.

"Your cooperation," Mykel answered as he slowly walked toward the man.

"My cooperation? That’s quite bold of you to ask me that, but knowing who you are, I believe you have prepared something in exchange for the cooperation," The man said as he fixed his seating.

"Whatever you want, and I can give them to you," Mykel answered.

"Whatever I want?" The man asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Yes, I can give you Redshield’s wealth, power, and perhaps Alfredo’s head as well if you want," Mykel nodded his head.

"Have a seat, and then we can talk," The man said.
