Reincarnated as the Son of Conglomerate



Klaus and his crew continued their journey through the radiant forest. Even though he was among his friends, his mind was far away. The last night's moment still revolved in his mind, especially Sylvia's response. Klaus couldn't understand how Sylvia still wanted to chase him even after she had been rejected before she could confess her feelings.

He wondered if Sylvia would truly pursue him or if she was just talking without thinking it through. These questions kept swirling in his mind.

Meanwhile, Sylvia acted as usual. She smiled, talked to other crew members, and behaved as if nothing had changed after that night. However, the sharp eyes of the other crew members couldn't be easily deceived.

They knew something had happened between Klaus and Sylvia, and they wondered about its impact on their future relationships. This situation created creeping tension among the crew members, making the situation even more complicated.

"Hey, do you think they're okay?" Justin whispered with curiosity.

"It's clear as crystal. Klaus rejected her, and you still owe me money," Akio replied.

Justin furrowed his brow. "How do you know Klaus rejected her?"

Akio turned to Justin, his eyes narrowed. "Seriously? Are you still a virgin?"

Hearing that question, Justin started to panic. "Of course not. I used to be an idol, you know! I just can't have a girlfriend. My fans would be mad if I had one."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Akio chuckled as he said so.

Justin huffed. "So how do you know he rejected her?"

"Look at them, Justin. Last night, they went into the woods, and now they're not talking and walking separately."

"So?" Justin raised his eyebrows.

"You're brain-dead. It means they're not together. If they were, they would have walked together this morning."

"Ah, I get it."

Klaus heard the entire conversation of his crew, but he pretended not to. If he confronted it, he'd only make the problem worse. Sometimes, letting muddy water settle is the best way to clear it.

In the middle of their journey through the quiet forest, an arrow suddenly shot and landed in front of Klaus's feet. At that moment, all the crew members immediately became alert, reaching for their weapons.

Then, three silver-haired elves appeared from behind the foliage of the trees. Their sudden appearance made the crew members even readier for a fight, but Klaus stopped them.

"Lower your weapons. They're not a threat."

Although Klaus had given the order, his crew still seemed hesitant. They remembered how these elves had attacked them a few days ago.

One of the elves, a woman with sharp eyes and shimmering silver hair, spoke calmly, "We've been waiting, Klaus. Your friends are safe."

"Thank you, Arwen," Klaus replied gently.

Of course, the conversation between the two of them quickly shocked the crew. They wondered how this elf knew Klaus and why she seemed to want their visit.

While they were mesmerized by the High Queen's beauty, their gaze shifted to three figures standing next to her. Gavin, Olivia, and Michael, dressed in the traditional elf attire, smiled warmly. The crew was confused to see their friends standing there.

Observing the crew's confusion, Arwen silently smiled. Meanwhile, Justin approached Klaus and asked with curiosity, "Klaus, for some reason, I feel like there's something strange about them."

However, Klaus only responded with silence, but his face showed signs of anger. At the same time, worry consumed Akio as he looked at his two friends, Michael and Olivia, standing next to the High Queen's throne. They all looked like mannequins displayed in a store window.

"You are in the presence of the High Queen, the Ruler of Radiant Forest, and the Guardian of the Tree of Life. Show your respect, humans!" Arwen exclaimed loudly. Each word carried firmness as it escaped her mouth.

Naturally, the crew members were bewildered. They looked at each other, wondering what they should do now. At the same time, they felt a strong energy pressuring them. The High Queen gazed at them, giving them a look of authority that made their courage wane.

"Hey, do we have to kneel?"

"Aren't they monsters? Why should we kneel to them?"

Klaus could hear his crew's whispers. Just by listening, he knew they were being manipulated by the elves' game. Klaus felt disappointed in them.

"What are you doing!" shouted Arwen. "You're in the presence of our queen! Don't you appreciate our hospitality!"

The crew members became even more confused. Even Akio, who was always calm in various situations, fell for it. Eventually, they succumbed to the confusion. Justin, Akio, Joanna, Sylvia, and the others—slowly fell to their knees.

And that made Arwen and the elves smile in triumph.

However, it didn't last long.

"What are you doing?! Why are you still standing?" Arwen yelled angrily.

Klaus remained standing tall while his crew knelt. This made the crew members furrow their brows and wonder if their decision was wrong. Meanwhile, Arwen continued to berate Klaus to kneel, but he didn't budge. Instead, he stared directly into the High Queen's eyes.

"Enough, Arwen," said the High Queen gently. "This man has his own principles. You can't do anything about it."

"Very well, your grace." Arwen gritted her teeth as she lowered her head.

"So, human, what is your purpose for coming here?" the High Queen asked Klaus.

"I've come to deliver a warning to the elves."

Arwen was triggered when Klaus spoke with an informal tone to the High Queen, but the golden-haired elf told Arwen to be silent.

"I am speaking, Arwen. Don't disrupt our conversation."

"Yes, your grace. I apologize." Arwen lowered her head in embarrassment.

The High Queen rolled her eyes at Klaus.

"So, what is the warning?" she inquired.

Klaus smirked. "Kneel before me now, or I'll wipe you out."

Naturally, his statement left everyone shocked.
