A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1048 Kill Alex!

The Glass Dragon tribe was the number one dragon tribe on the Dragon Islands. Back then, when Alex first came to the Dragon Islands, he engaged in a huge battle with the great elder of the Glass Dragon tribe. After he won, he carved out the following words on the Glass Dragon Pillar:

Alex and Irina were here.

After many years, Alex came back to Glass Dragon Island and left word carvings on the Glass Dragon Pillar again.

However, this time, it was a public reply to Roth Empire’s ground-shaking announcement.This chapter is updatᴇd by novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Alex’s response was simple yet extremely arrogant.

Very quickly, this response spread throughout the Norland Continent with lightning speed, causing a huge commotion.

…

“Hahaha, that’s Alex for you. Andre, that old dog, must be looking very bad right now.” In the dwarves’ palace, the king of the dwarves laughed heartily as he looked at the news he just received.

…

The great magic caster trio of Chaos City gathered twice in a day.

“This was really a piece of unexpected but good news. It seems like we should get in contact with Alex. After all, we have the same goal,” Michael said with a smile.

“I chased that fellow with a knife down 18 streets back then.” Rolan smiled slightly.

“And a year later, he chased you with a knife down 36 streets,” Novan said.

The meeting room echoed with laughter.

…

In a restaurant of Rodu in the Roth Empire.

“Have you heard, Alex said that he refused to be the empire’s grand marshal!” a fatty said softly.

“I just wanted to talk about this. I have a friend from the Information Center, and according to the latest news, Alex went to Glass Dragon Island and left two rows of words on the Glass Dragon Pillar there. Guess what he wrote?” a skinny middle-aged man said secretively.

“What is it?” The people in the restaurants could not help but pause in their actions and listen intently when they heard him.

“I’m not going to be the grand marshal. I want this world to be peaceful.” That man lowered his voice when he said that.

“Hisss…”

Suddenly, the entire restaurant was filled with the sound people taking a breath in.

When they heard that Master Alex was made the grand marshal, the entire Roth Empire was excited over the news.

Their god of battle would be back once again to protect the Roth Empire. It was such exciting news for many.

However, in just half a day, there was a piece of news spreading around Rodu that gave everyone a slap on their faces.

The so-called promotion was just wishful thinking on the king’s part.

Alex had personally responded that he would reject the role of the grand marshal, without leaving any face for the king.

“Could it be possible that Master Alex is no longer protecting the Roth Empire?” Someone choked on his words as disappointment engulfed him.

Everyone present had a similar expression and emotions. Once, Alex, who had never lost a battle, was the pride of the Roth Empire. He was the reason why every human could walk in front of the other races with their heads held high.

But right now, they could not.

“Shh! Don’t you want your lives? How dare you say things like that here! Several news agencies have already received the notice to never mention anything about this. Otherwise, they would all be caught and beheaded!” a middle-aged man wearing a long robe chided them softly.

“It’s my fault. I just mentioned it casually. Don’t take my word for it. I still have something at home. I’ll be off first! The face of the middle-aged man who spoke previously changed drastically, and he scooted off with a random excuse.

The face of everyone else who heard that also changed. They quickly footed the bill and left, afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.

Similar incidents kept happening in different parts of Rodu. Although not everyone knew the details, the news of Alex rejecting the role of grand marshal still spread quickly throughout Rodu and became an open secret.

In the palace, both princes, tens of military officials, and Richard, the president of the Magus Tower, stood solemnly.

The news that they received a few hours ago made all their faces black. No one would expect Alex’s response to be so direct and resolute.

“Scum! This Alex dares to be so arrogant. He has no respect for Father at all, and made the Roth Empire a joke!” In the palace, Sean looked at the king and said without hiding his anger, “Father! I think that we should send out an order to kill Alex! That would be the only way to gain back some of the Roth Empire’s pride.”

However, he was secretly a little happy.

“Father, I agree with Brother on this. If we do not do something to punish Alex, the Roth Empire will not be able to hold its head up high in the meeting two months later,” Josh also said solemnly.

The other military officials in the palace also showed their support for the two princes. They wanted Alex to pay the price to display their country’s might.

The group became very passionate, and it seemed as though they only needed the king’s order to bring back Alex’s head.

“Your Highnesses and fellow officials, the general does make some sense. Alex’s words dismissed His Majesty’s orders and shamed the Roth Empire. It is indeed an unpardonable crime.” An elderly official who was standing in the corner took a step forward, and coldly asked everyone, “However, if His Majesty really orders Alex to be killed, may I ask, who here will be able to kill him? Who will have the confidence to kill him before the negotiations in two months? How many top soldiers from the military and the Magus Tower will need to be sacrificed in order to kill him? May I ask if everyone has considered these issues?”

The moment the elderly official said that, everyone fell silent.

Many people wanted to kill Alex.

However, after so many years, other than that very meticulously planned assassination on that rainy night three years ago, no one had ever succeeded, yet the assassins and killers who died in his hands were countless.

Even that assassination three years ago required all the factors to be favorable. Moreover, in that situation where more than 10 10th-tier experts were mobilized and Alex’s daughter was held hostage, he still did not die.

In that case, killing him would seem impossible since they did not even know what he looked like or where he was.

Even if they sent all the 10th-tier experts from the military and the Magus Tower, as long as they were unable to surround and corner him, those who found him first would only be killed.

Back then, Alex roamed the land, and everyone here did not have a very strong concept of how powerful he was.

Right now, he was on the empire’s opposing side.

His might became the entire empire’s headache.

The hall fell quiet. Even Sean and Josh were silent.

“Who said that I want to kill him? As long as he’s still alive, the mark the Roth Empire has on him would never be erased. He will still be the guardian of the Roth Empire. Will he really be able to watch the Roth Empire fall?” Andre, who had not spoken all the while, said with a cold smile. However, there was a bit of murderous quality in that smile.
