Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

Chapter 1442: Batchrock town

"Oh Iron Maiden!"

"Iron Maiden, please save us from certain disaster!"

"Make these people go!"

The 9th and 8th generals looked over the people of Batchrock town and was weirded out. Usually, when they were besieging a town, people would either go back to their homes in fear, or they would immediately leave the city in an attempt to escape.

But the people of this town wasn’t doing that. There was chaos. There was shouting. But all they were doing the most were looking over towards the metal statue in the center of their town as if it was going to save them or something.

"Look at these people... I was waiting for them to scream and escape so that I could chase after them. Whatever. I’m just going to destroy their statue."

The 9th ranked general, donning his Nascent Armor immediately disappeared and reappeared right on top of the Iron Maiden.

He sat on top of her head, surprising the people. "What is so interesting about this statue anyway? It should be destroyed!"

With his hands balled up into fists, the 9th ranked general brought down both of his hands onto the statue with an intent to crush it into scrap metal.

But as soon as he did, his hands were met with a strange power, completely bouncing off his attack as if it was nothing!

The Iron maiden glowed slightly, before returning to its usual normal state.

"The Iron Maiden!"

"She has shown her presence!"

"We’re getting saved!"

Immediately, the 9th ranked general was surprised. He hit the metal statue with every single inch of his Nascent Power! And yet, his attack didn’t even give a single dent on top of its head. That was impossible!

Meanwhile, the 8th ranked general frowned, noticing the discrepancy in something.

"Hey. There’s someone here," he said to his fellow general.

It was at this moment that a sinister laugh began to echo out into the entire town.

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE..."

Both of the generals immediately looked around, searching for the source of that voice. And eventually, they did find it.

And it was in the Iron Maiden itself!

They looked toward the hands of the metal statue and saw a violet slime just sitting perched up on the Iron Maiden’s hands.

"A slime?"

"What the hell?!"

Fudge looked at the two Nascent Spirit generals above him and smiled. And in his excitement, he couldn’t help but laugh even more.

"HEHEHEHEHE!"

"What the hell are you laughing about, you slime!" asked the 9th ranked general. "We’re going to destroy you, and every single thing here in this town."

It was at this point that the blocked entrance of the town was suddenly toppled. Thousands upon thousands of soldiers began pouring into the Town, with their weapons ready to destroy everything that Reborn had touched.

"I’ll kill you last," said the 9th ranked general. "So that you can see your people suffering!"

But then, Fudge smiled. "Really?"

It was at this moment that shadows began to envelop the entirety of the town. In an instant, a bubble of darkness had completely isolated the town from the outside world.

"Hah! I don’t know what kind of slime you are that you are able to do this, but it doesn’t matter. You’re still trapped in here with us," said the 9th ranked general.

"Hehehehe, I’m not trapped in here with you... you’re trapped in here with me. Also, I just created this so that no one would be able to see what I’m going to do..."

With a single thought, Fudge summoned thousands upon thousands of shadows all around Batchrock Town.

People began to emerge from these shadows. No, not people. But cultivators!

nowhere! Was he hiding them the entire time? How was this even possible?

In the end, it didn’t matter. They still had the upper hand, thought the 9th ranked general.

"Wait... those cultivators." The 8th ranked general was able to discern something from these... soldiers.

There was something familiar about them. But he just couldn’t tell...

It wasn’t until one of the slime’s soldiers attacked the Worcester soldiers did the 8th ranked general understand what he had made them so familiar.

"That coldness... that strange animated and sketch-like Divas and Aubility Power... they are Ersatz!"

Both of the generals were appalled. The Reborn company was working with Ersatz?!

"Hehehehe, not exactly," answered Fudge. "These people are my people. But they were from Ersatz. But do not worry. They have seen the light. They have been converted to the religion of the Iron Maiden!"

Both generals frowned. As far as they knew, the Ersatz were not that easy to be dissuaded from their organization. In fact, it was impossible. They would rather kill themselves than leave the Ersatz Organization.

"You don’t understand, but that’s fine. Nobody does. That’s why I had to cover this place with a veil. Otherwise, people would have a misunderstanding, right?"

The 9th ranked general stared at Fudge. "You’re not making a lot of sense."

"That’s alright," Fudge replied with a smile. "You’ll join them soon enough."

Meanwhile, in Neo Orcus Town, a similar situation was happening. Two generals, the 7th and 6th ranked, were sieging the town in order to destroy the factories that had allowed Reborn to use chocolate in their products.

"We’ve heard that this place is where they get their chocolate. Destroy it, and they cannot function again," said the 7th ranked general.

"No, I heard that they get chocolate from those trees over there. So once we destroy those, they won’t get those products out anymore," answered the 6th ranked general.

"That’s the same thing."

"It is not.

While both of these generals were bickering, their soldiers were making their way through the terrain to siege through the Neo Orcus Town.

... bu to to...

... rah ta ta...

Suddenly, they both heard a subtle beat rhythm echoing everywhere. It was a strange sound. It made them feel calm and sedated.

"You guys dare to destroy our hometown? Let’s see you try..."
