Original novel in Chinese by: 御我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 1: The King, Jiang Shutian, is Born, Part Two—translated by Kiki (proofread by Arcedemius, Lala Su, & Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

Dàge didn't seem to really care as he asked, "Can I tell other people?"

"Yeah, you can." I also thought it was the right thing to do. Telling everybody at once was better than saying it here and repeatedly saying it later. "I'll go and gather everyone."

Having a small amount of people had its advantages. I didn't have to search for long to gather them all. It was just a pity that the third floor's conference room wasn't completed yet. We could only gather in the dining room on the first floor, making it feel like it was meal time. At times, people even reached their hands out to take peanuts and melon seeds from the table to chew on. Where's the serious atmosphere? Getting the conference room built is definitely top priority!

"Why hold a meeting today?" Everybody asked curiously, as they simultaneously cracked the melon seeds between their teeth. Seeing this, I truly wanted to just take all the melon seeds along with the tray and just stuff their mouths with it.

Dàgē waved his hand toward me and everyone looked at me as if it were only natural. A group of highly experienced mercenaries automatically staring at an eighteen-year-old youth, just waiting for him to open his mouth... it was a very incongruous scene.

Their expressions pleased me. Although losing my memory led me to making a lot of wrong choices, it was fortunate that I was still able to make things right. They looked like they still had faith in me.

"I remembered who the three elites of mankind were." Although it was Jin Xiaoyue who reminded me, just thinking about how to explain how Jin Xiaoyue would know gave me a huge headache, so I'd better just skip over that.

Their eyes were all shining, clearly showing their interest. As expected of people living the mercenary life—powerful elites were a very attractive topic for them. Nobody was like the past life me who just scraped by and couldn't even remember the names of the most powerful elites.

"First is the Flame King Debert." I looked at everyone and asked, "Have you guys heard of this Debert? He's a foreigner, and he seems to be in the military."

Cain immediately widened his eyes, shouting loudly, "Does that still need to be said?! It's definitely Eagland's Soldier King, Debert!"

What a joke of a parallel world! What's the meaning of only having the names changed?! I held my head with my hand, feeling my head hurting, but when I gave it some more thought, I realized it didn't matter. Anyways, no matter what country was involved, now there was only one nation known as "Mankind."

I asked in detail, "Debert is his family name?"

Lily nodded and said, "Foreigners always address others by their family name and only address others by first name if they're close with each other."

I pondered over it. Although it was his surname and not his actual name, foreigners have very unusual last names, while they shared a bunch of the same first names. Besides, it sounded very logical for the Soldier King Debert to become the Flame King Debert, so it should be that person.

"As expected of the Soldier King."

Everybody exclaimed in admiration as if they all already knew Debert, even believing that the Soldier King becoming the Flame King wasn't anything too surprising. It seemed like this Mr. Debert really was crazy powerful, so becoming a ruler and building his own domain wasn't a strange thing for him to do.
