The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 8: The President of the World Leader Alliance

"So, you're telling me right now that not only does the President of the World Leader Alliance have the support of the 'Tower', but the majority of the World Leaders as well?! On top of that, he has a secret force that is actually equal or more powerful compared to my previous guild and allies just hidden in secret waiting for the right opportunity to make a move?" Kayn exclaimed in shock after Natas explained to him who he was dealing with.

At the moment, Kayn is inside his room sitting on a shabby couch and staring at his laptop on top of a tattered table in front of him while trying to search for any helpful information he could possibly find on the internet about the President of the World Leader Alliance, Nicholas. On the other hand, Natas is lying on his bed comfortably.

Not so long ago, he was trying his best to sleep and take a rest upon arriving inside his room, but he later realized just how impossible it was with all of the thoughts currently running wildly inside his head. After all, he had just learned the truth behind almost everything. Because of that, he decided to ask more questions to Natas in order to satisfy more of his own curiosity and for the sake of having clarity and peace of mind to finally go to sleep.

How stupid his decision was…

He started by asking about why his comrades and also all of his allies betrayed him, thinking that there should be a deeper reason behind it.

As expected, there was indeed more to it than what Natas had initially explained to him before.

The truth was, there was actually one more reason for why they chose to betray him. Unlike Kayn, his comrades and allies have far too many things to care about and protect in life, for example, family, which is something he never truly experienced in his life, especially as someone who grew up as an orphan.

Nevertheless, the main motive for their choice to betray him remained undeniably still the pursuit of their own interest and profit.

Why?

Well, according to Natas, they didn't actually threaten anyone using one of their family members or someone important and close to them, not even once, or even any sort of threat at all, as they were clearly aware already at that point in time of the negative side effects it would bring in their negotiation. Rather, it was Kayn's comrades and allies themselves that used their so-called care for their family as a means of gaslighting themselves in hopes of avoiding guilt in their minds after they betrayed him and at the same time cleaning their own consciousness from any consequences or responsibility they'd be blamed of afterward.

It is truly unfortunate as he was honestly hoping deep inside of him before deciding to ask the question about their betrayal that there might be something else that can, at the very least, redeem them of their mistake to him.

Completely knowing everything about the betrayal of his previous comrades and allies, Kayn has here on out fully decided that there's no possible way anymore that he will ever forgive them, not even the slightest bit of chance for redemption. Now that he is given another chance in life, they will and would eventually pay for all of their crimes. Sooner or later, all of them will experience tenfold the pain and suffering he had to go through after they betrayed him.

His next question was about what happened after he was forced inside the 'Tower'. He was so curious if the people he fought so hard to protect and save even cared about him or if they just immediately moved on and went with their own lives.

To his surprise and disbelief, a significant number of people, especially those that he had once saved, actually went to the streets and cause trouble for the World Leaders by rallying and asking for transparency about the so-called betrayal of the greatest Hero to the human race. A terrorist organization demanding justice for him was even created, albeit their methods were too extreme to his liking as they started killing all the people that went against their beliefs.

Some Heroes also started investigating the truth as they became curious and suspicious after seeing an immediate powershift within his guild the very next day after he was forced inside the 'Tower'. It was almost like losing the number one Hero of Earth and their previous guild leader was not a big deal for them at all.

Moreover, numerous unfamiliar faces unexpectedly became the new higher-ups of his guild, immediately replacing the previous ones that suddenly retired and those that were thought to be killed by Kayn, causing even more suspicion for everyone.

Just when he thought that was all, Natas quickly added that the number of people investigating the truth multiplied even further after discovering that the supposedly uncleared floors of the 'Tower' were suddenly cleared. As more and more floors were cleared, people started believing that some kind of injustice had befallen their beloved Hero, Kayn.

In the end, however, a lot of those Heroes who were investigating the truth were ultimately found dead either outside or inside of the 'Tower'. With the threat of death, the majority of the Heroes who were investigating became discouraged to continue. Though there was still the remaining minority who continued to investigate, they have no other choice but to do so in secret in fear of having the same fate as the others, thus greatly slowing their pace and hindering the progress of their investigation.

All of that had transpired while Kayn was focusing on climbing to the 1,000th floor of the 'Tower', as such he was completely clueless about all of this. Though, even if he actually happened to learn of what the people were doing, he would still not go back as his judgment had been deeply clouded by hatred and he also doesn't want to waste the sacrifices made by his new companions just go back and confirm the result of all his effort in the past couple of years.

Nevertheless, after learning about their actions at this present moment, he sighs in relief as he concluded that, at the very least, the people were not as hopeless as all of his previous comrades and allies.

There were still a few more questions Kayn had asked Natas after that which were all personal questions and not related to the 'Tower', such as the story about his father during the '1st life', how it felt being a God, and what it was like living for eons inside the 'Tower'.

After satisfying his curiosity about those matters, Kayn finally asked about the President of the World Leader Alliance, Nicholas.

Nicholas, the President of the World Leader Alliance, didn't just become the person who possess the power to control the direction of the entire world just because he had the support of the 'Tower'.

When the 'Tower' first came to Earth, Nicholas was amongst the first group of people who first entered the 'Tower', one could say that he is one of the first-generation Heroes.

After secretly receiving power and support from the 'Tower', Nicholas performed extremely well and saved countless lives to the point that he was bestowed the first-ever recognition of being the number one Hero of Earth, getting the title Martial Emperor. To simply put, Nicholas was Kayn's predecessor.

That wasn't all. Nicholas continued to achieve numerous great feats that later on paved the way for him to become the Leader of the Dragon Beast Republic, one of the ten World Leaders on Earth.

The Dragon Beast Republic wasn't only a top organization that governs one of the prosperous territories on Earth. It was also the gathering of the top combatant from the three other World Leaders, respectively the Tiger Beast Republic, Phoenix Beast Republic, and last but certainly not the least, the Tortoise Beast Republic, which forms the Four Beast Alliance.

With the support of three World Leaders, Nicholas slowly climbed his way up until he finally became the President of the World Leader Alliance. And with that power in his hand, he tried to replace the previous Leaders of the other remaining six World Leaders, albeit he was only successful in replacing two of them, the Pope of the Church of Fate and the Pope of the Church of the Messiah. Despite that failed attempt though, he is still not someone to be underestimated according to the four World Leaders who fought so desperately just so that they won't be replaced by one of his people.

To be honest, he actually only met Nicholas a few times in his entire life. The first time he met the latter was when he had personally received the recognition of being the number one Hero on Earth. Then the next time he met him was when his guild was publicly recognized as the number one guild on Earth. Simply put, if there was nothing of much importance, he won't be able to meet the President of the World Leader Alliance, despite his status.

"It seems like letting you know more about your enemy is causing you more harm than good," Natas abruptly sit upright on the bed and turned his attention to Kayn.

"More or less, yes. But rest assured, I am not discouraged to face Nicholas and his hidden force," Kayn smiled calmly at Natas.

"Would this affect your performance in the future?" Natas quickly followed up another question, still concerned about Kayn.

Shaking his head, Kayn replied, "This was something I honestly already expected from someone who has 10 years of a head start compared to me,"

"Fair enough," Natas finally stopped pestering.
