I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Because he had to go and carry out the entrusted task.

As the Holy Emperor had instructed, he was to confront the guy he utterly despised.

I really wanted to kill that bastard. That was when that bastard made that request.

Unfortunately, I didn't use Gungnir to kill him because I was considering dealing with Stage V.

Now, let's have a face-to-face meeting... or just chop him up...

No... Calm down.

Jill took a deep breath.

……

After a bumpy two-hour ride in a luxury limousine, we finally arrived at our destination.

Jill stepped out of the limousine and looked up at the enormous building before her.

This is the venue for unofficial talks, and also a super high-rise hotel with 86 floors.

I've heard that this place can serve as a secret base for important figures, and is used as frequently as embassies in various regions.

After the Gastrea Wars, the land available in all countries was greatly reduced due to the Gastrea invasion, necessitating the construction of super-tall buildings to accommodate large populations.

Therefore, these high-rise buildings are the mainstream architecture in the D-city area, and you can see them everywhere.

"Good luck, Brother Jill." Xia Shi waved to Jill.

Gil smiled with narrowed eyes, waved in response, and then followed the Holy Emperor.

As Jill grew older, she grew taller, but the childishness on her face never faded, so she still looked like a child.

Those red eyes flickered for a moment, and at that moment, the Holy Emperor in front stopped in his tracks.

"Gil, please wear this for the smooth running of the upcoming meeting." The Holy Emperor took out a box and handed it to him.

“This is…” Jill took the box curiously.

When I opened it, it was a pair of colored contact lenses.

Jill gave a wry smile. "I don't use this stuff."

"But like this..."

“It’s alright. My relationship with that old guy is pretty bad enough. We’ve even met, albeit only on the phone.” Jill closed the box. “Let’s go inside.”

"All right……"

The Holy Emperor walked through the revolving door and informed the receptionist of the luxurious hotel, which looked like a place reserved for the powerful and wealthy, of his purpose.

The hotel manager rushed over to greet him, nervously and respectfully placing the keys in the Emperor's hand. Only after the Emperor smiled and thanked him did the manager relax.

Stepping into the elevator, the Holy Emperor inserted the key he had just received, turned it once, and pressed the button for the top floor, which was not originally displayed.

The elevator began to ascend rapidly, and Jill asked a question.

"Your Majesty, do you really not know Qi Wu's purpose in inviting you to an unofficial meeting?"

"Yes, I don't understand at all. Or rather—"

The Holy Emperor looked at Gil and said, "I have never met President Qi Wu before."

Jill thought about it carefully, then nodded. That was indeed the case.

“Gil-kun… when you spoke with President Qi Wu back then, what was your impression of him? Or rather, what kind of person was President Qi Wu in your eyes? When I brought up Mr. Qi Wu with Mr. Kikunojo, he was clearly not happy…”

"A brutal dictator, in Chinese terms, probably refers to someone like King Zhou of Shang or King Jie of Xia. Perhaps you don't quite understand, but let me use a more recent figure to illustrate... that was the notorious villain from Germany during World War II."

"what?"

The Holy Emperor couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, blinking his eyes a few times and revealing an amusing expression that Jill had never seen before.

She turned around and gently rubbed the corner of her eye: "...I'm sorry, Gil, I've been feeling tired lately because of my busy schedule with official duties...Could you please say it again?"

Jill clicked her tongue. "That's right. My assessment is very objective. I haven't mixed any personal feelings into it."

Chapter 106 A Truly Disgusting Guy

“And I’m not kidding. You know that guy has been assassinated seventeen times by residents of the DB region, right? To be honest, that guy is really annoying. I even secretly assisted in two assassinations, and the bastard is still alive… Hmph, who can stand those kinds of harsh taxes… In short, that guy is not someone to be trifled with, or rather, in my impression, it would be extremely difficult for you two to have a conversation.” Jill said, squinting. “In short, be careful.”

"Thank you for your advice..."

The Holy Emperor nodded heavily, though he seemed to have overlooked the matter of assisting in the assassination that Jill had mentioned.

“Hmph…but there’s one more thing that makes me a little suspicious,” Jill said.

"What?" the Holy Emperor asked.

“No…it doesn’t matter.” Jill’s eyes flickered. “In short, that old bastard will likely…no, he definitely will make things difficult for you.”

"Please be very careful then."

"Um... Also, please tone it down a bit, Gil-kun..."

"Unlikely..."

"Forehead?"

"I'm a bit short-tempered, but I'm nicer to people I like," Jill said with a sly smile. "So please forgive me if I say something inappropriate..."

At this moment, the floor indicator finally stopped at the top floor, and the elevator doors opened with a heavy thud.

Rather than hotel rooms, they are more like a modified observation deck on the top floor of a high-rise building, furnished with reception furniture.

The guy standing next to the elevator, bowing ramrod straight, is most likely a guard of Qi Wu Xuanzong. He's muscular and strong, so he must be quite a skilled fighter.

Jill glanced at the guy. If she used Soul Flash, the guy would probably only be able to withstand one move... No, that might be an overestimation. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to withstand one move.

Jill quickly looked at a guy in front of her.

The tall figure in a suit sat on a specially designed sofa, his gaze fixed on six e-paper screens.

His identity was evident even from his back. The man then stood up from the sofa and turned to face them:

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor."

This tall, sharp-eyed man, dressed in a suit, had a mustache that turned up at an angle and connected to his sideburns, making him look like a lion's mane.

He was the person the Holy Emperor was talking to this time—Emperor Wu Xuanzong of Qi.

"Oh, isn't this the brat from Homra? What, have you made up your mind about the Holy Sword?" Qi Wu Xuanzong didn't continue looking at the Holy Emperor, but instead looked at Gil beside the Holy Emperor.

“I remember Kushina told you this, you old bastard…” Jill looked at Qi Wuxuanzong with a half-smile, her eyes full of mockery, “The Holy Sword will only be used by those who are recognized. No one else can even touch the Holy Sword.”

"And a man as ambitious as you, the Holy Sword will never approve of you!" Gil's stern voice directly pressured Qi Wu Xuanzong.

"Damn it, he's just a lowly policeman!" Qi Wuxuanzong roared, his face contorted with rage.

Jill simply scoffed. "Only the weak use roars to mask their inner weakness. Besides, who told you it's just some lowly police officer? These days, police officers hold the power of life and death in the world! And do you really think you can only use the Holy Sword against Gastrea?!"

"How could it be just that, you idiot? Just like you imagine. This is all part of the next generation of deterrent force, a plan to propel Japan into a world superpower."

Do you want to threaten other countries with violence?

The Emperor, unable to contain himself, interjected, but Qi Wu merely chuckled a few times, slowly rose, and exaggeratedly spread his arms wide:

"Your Majesty, you truly lack vision. We must consider the world after the complete annihilation of Gastrea. Japan should become a superpower reigning supreme. You must have noticed that ten years ago, the national functions of the world's great powers were plundered by Gastrea to the point of near collapse. Yet today, ten years later, the nation that recovered fastest from that unprecedented catastrophe has the right to achieve global leadership in the next generation. And Japan must aim for this. This is the grand vision! Those who obstruct me, those who are incompetent, and those who do not follow me will all be eliminated by my full force!"

Qi Wu Xuanzong made this declaration, and he even extended an invitation to Gil again, "You little brat from Homra, if you accept my invitation, then we can enjoy the pleasure of ruling the world together—"

"Foolish!" Jill sneered coldly. "Is this all there is to your brain? A bunch of unfounded garbage?!"

Qi Wu's eyes, filled with obsession, flashed with madness as he waved his hand and shouted forcefully, "I will not give up! I will win over all those with power and make them work under my command! My will is the will of Japan! The will of Japan is my will!"

Jill gained some new insights into the Qi Wu Xuanzong before her.

An ambitious man, an absolute ambitious man.

Although he's not very bright, you have to admit he's got some skills, or rather, he's managed to survive an assassination attempt with my help; that wouldn't be possible without some tricks up his sleeve.

"Gil, I need to have a meeting with President Qi Wu." The Holy Emperor said to Gil in a somewhat forceful tone, which could be considered as giving Emperor Qi Wu a way out.

"Hmph..." Qi Wu Xuanzong had no choice but to quiet down and continue the talks after being provoked by Jill. "Ah, alright."

"Then, President Qi Wu, let's begin the talks."

Because Gilles opened the way for her, the Holy Emperor gained a certain degree of initiative.

The talks continued in that manner.

The talks ended two hours later.

Jill left with a cold look in her eyes.

Emperor Xuanzong of Qi knew his purpose in coming here.

As the meeting ended, Jill narrowed her eyes.

Next comes the assassination... Jill narrowed her eyes, a slow, shimmering light passing through them.

……

On the way back in the limousine, Xia Shi, who was a little sleepy from waiting, fell asleep leaning on Jill's shoulder. Her quiet sleeping face looked quite cute.

Jill looked at the Holy Emperor, "Well? My assessments are never wrong... so don't look so sad."

“I’m not sad…” The Holy Emperor thought for a moment and nodded. “However, perhaps there is one thing… It’s probably because I’ve always silently believed that as long as I treat people sincerely, I will surely gain their understanding, and it is precisely because of this that I feel even more disappointed.”

“So you’re right to say you’re a bit naive…” Jill sighed. “Don’t worry, this has certainly shown you that guy is a truly despicable person.”

Chapter 107 The Spy

"...But..." The Holy Emperor showed a somewhat hesitant expression.

"So it's okay, right?" Jill shrugged. "Alright, let's not think about it anymore."

“But Lord Gil is truly remarkable, showing no sign of backing down against Mr. Qi Wu. I admire that about Lord Gil,” the Holy Emperor said sincerely.

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"Because everyone I've met, from my tutor to Mr. Kikunojo, has always spoken to me with utmost respect. There's absolutely no one like Gil who speaks his mind so frankly, so it feels very refreshing."

"Well, who knows?" Jill looked out the window. "Maybe there are others like me?"
