Collapse Iron: I am the Pleasure Commander, starting with the Demolition Company

Inside the sun-drenched bathhouse,

Clear spring water, accompanied by a golden halo, descended from the sky and fell into the pool.

Beside the pool, Tibo and Aglaia were sitting side by side.

They took off their shoes and soaked their feet in the spring water. The cool spring water felt very refreshing as it washed over their feet.

That's how it is.

Tibo described what happened in the Abyss of Fate.

"I didn't expect the Fire Thief to act so quickly. It found and killed Oronis in such a short time."

"In that case, it's almost certain that his target is the spark."

"Moreover, he possesses at least three abilities."

"Firstly, a special ability to sense the location of the spark or the Titan."

Secondly, the ability to move quickly.

"Thirdly, the ability to absorb fire and convert it into one's own combat power."

Aglaia calmly analyzed He'er's purpose and abilities based on the information she had.

Tibo sadly lowered her head and murmured:

"Olonius is dead, and so are the few Titans who were willing to communicate with us."

In the past, if anything happened, one could still seek help from Euronis.

The Titans' power can solve many things they cannot.

But now the Golden Descendants really have to rely on themselves.

In addition, Tibo had spent a long time with Olonis and had developed feelings for him, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little lost when she suddenly received the news of his death.

Seeing that she seemed a little down, Aglaia gently comforted her:

"It's alright, at least we got the fire back."

"Um!"

Tibo nodded gently, then, still shaken, reached out her little hand and patted her chest.

"We really owe a lot to Xiaoyao this time."

"If it weren't for her thoughtfulness in calling on Little Grey, we would have been in danger."

"In the end, it was thanks to the extraterrestrial artifact she brought that the fire was retrieved."

Aglaia was quite surprised to see Tibo speak so highly of Xiyao.

It seems that this girl, who miraculously mastered the Hundred Realms Gate, gets along very well with her teacher.

Perhaps it was because he saved Tibo and the others.

Perhaps it's because they helped reclaim the flame of time.

Perhaps it was because Tibao showed a very high level of affection for Xiyao.

In short, Aglaia unconsciously developed a stronger liking for Xi Yao.

"I understand, my teacher."

"They've just been through a major battle, so they're bound to be a bit tired."

"After they have rested, I will invite them over and express my sincerest gratitude on behalf of the Golden Descendants."

"Um!"

at this time,

A guard rushed in, looking flustered.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Lady Aglaia!"

"Elder Katniss has gone mad!"

"You should go and take a look at the square!"

"Kenneth?"

Aglaia's brow furrowed slightly.

What kind of mischief is that old woman up to now?

"I see."

After dismissing the guards, Aglaia slowly rose, put on her golden high heels, and gazed tenderly at Tibo, who was still sitting there:

"Master, I shall take my leave now."

Tibbo responded with a sweet smile:

Goodbye, Aya!

After saying goodbye to Tibo, Aglaia continued on her way and soon arrived at the place the guard had mentioned.

This is a huge square, and the square is already surrounded by people who have come to watch the show.

In the very center of the square, Kenneth was standing there, delivering a passionate speech.

"I, Kenneth, hereby declare that, from this day forward, I publicly support the Fire Chaser!"

The crowd at the scene was in uproar.

After all, Kenneth was known to be against the Fire Chaser.

She made many offensive remarks against the Golden Generation.

And now they're suddenly saying they'll support the Fire Chaser Journey?

What the hell is this?

Not only the people present, but even Aglaia, who was secretly observing, was puzzled.

No?

What is that old woman doing?

Taking the wrong medicine?

What did she just say?

Does she support the fire-chasing expedition?

what?

To know,

Those in the Senate who opposed the Fire Chase were led by Kenneth!

Moreover, she had been obstructing the Fire Chasing Journey in various ways, even distorting the facts and maliciously smearing the Golden Clan.

Aglaia had long realized that Kenneth was a petty person who only cared about power and profit and disregarded the bigger picture.

So now she's saying she'll support the Fire Chaser?

Is this... correct?

What exactly is going on?

Aglaia's first impression was...

This is yet another way that Kenneth came up with to smear the Golden Generation.

As the saying goes, a dog can't change its nature of eating excrement.

She couldn't believe that Kennis, who was selfish and disregarded the lives of the people of Ohm, would suddenly have a change of heart and turn over a new leaf.

Aglaia decided to hold back for now and observe the situation further.

She wanted to see what Kenneth was really up to.

Kenneth looked ashamed and said:

"My investigation has revealed that the Black Tide disaster is extremely terrible, enough to wipe out the entire Ohma in an instant, and the Journey to the Fire is the only way to save the world from the Black Tide disaster."

"I misunderstood you Golden Bloods before. They are truly working hard to save Ohm and all its people."

"As a veteran, I should be punished for attacking these heroes who saved the world without conducting a thorough investigation."

"Therefore, I have decided to leave Ohma with my trusted subordinates and divide my forces into five groups to fight against the Black Tide!"

"Before I leave, I hope everyone will support the fire-chasing expedition!"

"Because this is the only way to save everyone."

Aglaia: ...

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

At this moment, her mind was blank except for a screen full of question marks.

what?

What does it mean when someone who has fought me for decades, who has always been my adversary, and who can even be said to be my mortal enemy, suddenly admits defeat without any warning, without any reason or condition?

He even said he would commit suicide to atone for his sins?

She showed no signs of losing at all!

What kind of outrageous and melodramatic plot is this?

Am I hallucinating because I haven't been resting well lately?

Aglaia, who was always very confident, suddenly became a little insecure.

She took a few deep breaths to adjust her mindset and began to perceive the scene ahead again.

Kenneth was still standing there.

Clearly, this is not a hallucination.

Could it be that this guy... has really had a change of heart?

No, no!

We can't draw conclusions so early.

We need to observe further!

Aglaia still couldn't believe that someone like Kenneth could actually repent.

She silently gazed at Kenneth in the center of the square.

Reporters quickly surrounded her and began bombarding her with questions.

And Kenneth patiently answered all her questions.

Throughout the entire process, they only spoke well of the Golden Blood and the Fire Chasing Journey, without uttering a single attack.

After a short interview, Kennis walked through the crowd and led a group of people straight away from Ohma.

Acting obviously doesn't require going to this level.

So even if Aglaia was unwilling to believe it, she had to admit that Kenneth hadn't lied.

Aglaia, who was used to scheming against Kennis, suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Is it true?

But... how is that possible?

Did that woman, Kenneth, actually repent?

what?

Could it be... a miracle from the Father Cephale?

Of course, Kephale couldn't have performed any miracles.

As for why Kenneth turned out this way...

Anyway, it wasn't Xi Yao who did it~

Hehe~
