Chapter 92

'Julius... is the Argon Emperor?'

No matter how he tried to think differently, the content of the conversation and the context pointed to this.

'Is this even possible?'

Julius is the eldest son of the Overhauzer family and the next head of the family. He is currently the leader of the Overhauzer merchant guild. Although he is still young and only the acting head, he is essentially the head of the family in all but name.

The idea that he was the Argon Emperor, who lived in the same era as Kairos, was simply unbelievable.

'No, that's not it. Since Kairos is still alive and well, it's not strange for the Argon Emperor to have been resurrected, right?'

This was not the real world but a game world. Arguing with logic and reason would only lead to defeat.

'But did I know that Julius was the Argon Emperor? As far as I know, I didn't. It's a story I've never heard before.'

Julius is a villain despised and hated by the players of *Feudal War*, and as such, he is a well-studied character. However, the fact that Otto didn't know this information suggests that it was a hidden backstory not thoroughly covered in the game.

After all, it's not strange that the game couldn't cover every detail about each character.

In any case, Otto had discovered an incredible secret.

'Possessed the body of a descendant? Or reincarnated as a descendant? No, that's not the point. Whether it's possession or reincarnation, what does it matter?'

The key point was that Julius was actually the Argon Emperor.

If that was the case...

'This would make Kairos go ballistic, right?'

Kairos, who had been betrayed by the Argon Emperor in the past and harbored deep resentment, was waiting to give Julius, the Argon Emperor's descendant, a taste of his own medicine.

But if he found out that the Argon Emperor was still alive—whether through possession or reincarnation?

'He would be overjoyed, right?'

To put it bluntly, if Kairos heard this news, he would probably do ten backflips on the spot and still have energy to spare.

Why?

Because the revenge that was impossible due to the Argon Emperor's death long ago would now be possible.

"Carefully observe the candidates and consistently evaluate their potential and capabilities."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After that, Otto continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between Julius, or rather the Argon Emperor, and Gaius, gathering more information.

Summarizing the conversation, it went as follows:

1. Julius is the Argon Emperor.

2. The Argon Emperor is plotting the revival of the empire.

3. The Black Cross Order, a secret society, is continuously threatening the Argon Emperor's descendants. They are very strong and dangerous, so even the Argon Emperor is cautious.

4. The reason the Argon Emperor is trying to establish a close relationship with the Kuntachi family is to strengthen his friendship with Otto.

5. The Argon Emperor is looking for a host to possess, and Otto is one of the candidates. Just like he possessed Kairos in the past to achieve the unification of the continent.

6. The Argon Emperor, before going to sleep...
