Chapter 22: Small Countries and World Hegemons

There was a slight tingling sensation in my arm.

Then, an indescribable feeling of comfort slowly and firmly spread throughout the body.

Andy, who was in a coma, became a little more conscious.

Then, the waves of cancer pain that came from all over his body quickly woke him up from his stupor.

He opened his dry eyes and was slightly startled by everything that appeared in his field of vision.

Above your head is a ceiling decorated with white wood and round lights, full of exotic style.

Looking sideways, the light-colored lattice doors and windows, the futon, the bamboo paintings, and the long brown coffee table are all beautifully arranged, and each one of them contains a sense of Zen.

It is obvious that this is a bright, Japanese-style room.

But what surprised Andy was a young girl.

The girl was kneeling beside him, lowering her head to inject a tube of medicine into his body. Her long black hair, which was flying down due to inertia, looked quite familiar to him.

"You woke up so quickly?"

Seeing Andy open his eyes, the other party was a little surprised, but she just nodded slightly at Andy, then stood up and left, kneeling on a mat not far away.

I really didn't expect this.

Andy blinked at this, somewhat surprised that the nun he met before was actually a traitor.

But this girl is obviously a small fry, so there's no need to pay too much attention to her.

So Andy turned his gaze to the two adults who were sitting on both sides of the coffee table not far away, looking at him with smiles.

One of them is old and the other is middle-aged.

The older man was neatly dressed, with his gray hair combed meticulously, narrow eyebrows, sharp eyes, and wearing a black samurai suit. He was a genuine islander.

The middle-aged man looks slightly similar to the old warrior, and should be a mixed race of an island country and North Africa.

But he was not doing well, and even had thin eyebrows, small eyes, a thick mouth, rough teeth, and fat limbs, making him look very ugly.

However, this ugly face was winking at Andy at this moment, and looked very familiar, making it more approachable than the old warrior next to him.

"Denish Weaver, a steward of the York family, is responsible for taking care of some trivial matters outside on a daily basis."

Seeing that Andy had completely sobered up, the old warrior said in a hoarse voice: "It was him who appeared in the church and suppressed you."

"But he is not your real enemy. The York family behind him is."

Obviously, this person didn't intend to exchange any nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

"The House of York was once the royal family of this country."

The ugly man then continued, "You are used to being rude. Not only you, but even we, the subjects, have been bullied before."

"Subjects?" Andy sat up from the tatami and asked the appropriate question.

"Yes, subjects."

The ugly man nodded and looked helpless.

"Although they have abdicated, the House of York has existed for nearly a thousand years, and their control and influence over this country has never diminished much."

Andy nodded when he heard that.

He had already witnessed this today.

All I can say is, he is invincible.

Even if he has the evil spirit in his hands and it can understand his commands, he is currently no match for a force of this level.

“But it’s a big world.”

Seeing that Andy seemed a little "depressed", the ugly man sitting there changed the subject.

"My country is one of the countries in North Africa, but North Africa is part of Africa. The entire African continent can be regarded as the poorest and most backward land in the world."

"In your eyes and mine, the York royal family is a behemoth that no one can stand up to, but looking at the whole world, this family is just a small role."

"Just like the mayor you met before, the royal family is also trying to curry favor with others. Several bloodlines within the royal family are even fighting madly for the qualification to be a servant of others, regardless of the consequences."

"So," Andy raised his eyebrows, "I was suppressed because of this qualification?"

There are things he knows.

There are some things that he really doesn't understand, so this can't be considered as playing dumb.

"That's right."

The ugly man nodded in confirmation, "But I need to make it clear that it was a steward of the royal family who suppressed you, not the royal family itself."

"The reason why the housekeeper suppressed you was not because he really thought you could be a threat, but just in case, he rushed over to deal with you."

"You could say this is one of his daily jobs."

He was not trying to attack Andy by saying this, but just wanted Andy to realize his situation.

After all, he had just described the royal family as small characters with contempt.

But if you really treat the royal family as a small role, you will definitely suffer a great loss, because the so-called small is completely based on the whole world.

In North Africa, and even in the whole of Africa, the York royal family can be regarded as a large force that can easily crush some small countries, not to mention some individuals.

Moreover, if the royal family is really a minor player, then what are these traitors who hide their heads and show their tails and dare not confront the royal family openly? His meaning is very clear.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Andy just nodded and said nothing.

Seeing this, the ugly man smiled slightly.

"Don't be discouraged. If you are really worthless, the housekeeper won't target you. If you don't believe me, look at my daughter. She is very good. She won the second place. Not only did the old man not target her, but he admired her very much."

This made Lily, who had been listening quietly, a little annoyed, but after looking at Andy, she said nothing.

In front of strangers, the girl was always used to keeping a reserved temperament. Besides, her father was talking about serious matters and her grandfather was watching quietly beside them. She would not throw a tantrum and start a fight.

"Okay, let's get back to the qualification that caused you to be suppressed."

When he said this, the ugly man's tone began to become serious.

"As I said before, the royal family is a giant in this country, but in the eyes of the whole world, it is just a small player."

"This whole world, to be specific, can actually point to an empire."

"empire?"

"Assyria, Covenant, Gunther, Silver Eagle, Black Thorn, Starry Sky... The Empire has many names, but we generally call it the Empire. Because in this world, or in the extraordinary world, there is only one such Empire."

"The York royal family abdicated the throne willingly, but the reason they were willing to give up the throne was not for the welfare of the people, but to become subjects of the empire."

"In reality, the royal family got what they wanted. After giving up the throne, they became part of the empire."

"But there are hundreds of members like them throughout the empire. The York family is not respected at all in the imperial system."

“They are not reconciled to this.”

When he said this, he paused slightly and his expression became silent.

Seems to feel his own insignificance.

Indeed, an ordinary member of the empire has been a huge mountain that has been weighing on their heads for countless years and is difficult to move.

This gap was so huge that he didn't even know how to describe it.

However, the ugly man was not a sentimental person. After a moment's silence, he continued speaking.

"The York family, unwilling to be a minor player, is eager to climb up, but normally, they have no chance because York's strength is the weakest compared to other members of the empire."

"However, a few years ago, a great man emerged in this country who made them see opportunities - huge opportunities."

"Big shot?"

"Yes, a real big shot."

Raising his hand to take a sip of tea, the ugly man then said solemnly: "There are only two members of the imperial family today. One is the empress, and the other is the only heir to the empire. We can call him the crown prince."

"And the great man we mentioned is the teacher of the Crown Prince."

"Is it related to that qualification?"

“Of course, it can be said to be crucial.”

"Because the qualification, or quota, we are talking about refers to the status of this teacher's direct disciple."
