Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1698 1698: More than expected (2)

There were several groups that had been sent here to explore this place, but there was one group that stood out compared to the rest.

The groups that had been sent were all small groups of elites from the different members of the racial alliance. These were small groups that had been sent since they didn’t know what was down there, so it was best not to send too many people.

However, the group that the Democratic Union sent was already big enough that it was the size of five different small groups of elites.

But that didn’t mean that the ones that the Democratic Union sent weren’t elites.

The members of the Democratic Union group were all elites in their own field, which meant that they were suited for coming with this investigation team.

It was just that there were too many members for a single group.

It was almost as if they were trying to…

With a cough, I said to the leader of the Democratic Union group, “There’s no telling what kind of danger will be down there. Are you certain that you want to send all these people down with the investigation team?”

That leader just simply said, “It’s fine, we understand the danger and have chosen to send all of these members down.”

Then he narrowed his eyes to look at me almost as if he was provoking me before saying, “Are we not allowed to send all these members?”

I just calmly looked back at him and said, “It’s nothing more than a friendly warning.”

“A warning or a threat?” The leader added in a taunting tone.

This time, I reacted by narrowing my eyes to look at him before saying, “We are all members of the racial alliance and this is a matter that is important to all of us. This is a time that we need to come together to solve this issue, I hope that you will remember that.”

The leader suddenly revealed a smile as he said, “Of course. Our Democratic Union has full intentions of following your majesty as the leader of the investigation team.”

As for why he stepped back down, it was because he had already accomplished his goal.

The only reason that he had acted aggressively like that was to achieve his goal of allowing more people from the Democratic Union to join the investigation team.

He didn’t care about his reputation, he just cared about getting these spots.

Since that was the case, I didn’t bother arguing with him.

After all, I knew exactly why the Democratic Union wanted these spots in the first place. It was the same reason why they had done all the other things that they had done before.

They just simply wanted more benefits for themselves.

Though they joined the racial alliance, the Democratic Union had always operated on the belief of gaining as many benefits for themselves as possible. That was why when they did anything, they would always weigh the pros and cons.

Even if it meant that their reputation suffered, they would do what was needed to gain more benefits.

Such as when they demanded that I share the divine energy that I possess.

Even now, they were trying to send as many people down with the investigation team as possible so they could gain as much as possible. Whether that was in terms of special items or information, they wanted it all.

Since they wanted this, I didn’t care how many people they sent down.

In the end, it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t allow them to find anything.

I was the one person that knew exactly what was down there because of my previous life’s memories of this game world. That meant that as long as I wanted to interfere with them, there was nothing that they would be able to do.

“Send as many people as you want, I’ll make sure you get nothing in the end.” I thought to myself after the leader of the Democratic Union group backed down.

Though there was a part of me that was a bit worried about all of this.

The script of this world had changed with the sudden eruption of the volcano.

I had no idea what had caused this change and if something had changed with this place, but I was at least confident that I would be able to deal with what was down there.

So for now, I just gathered everyone around to see who else was with us.

The one other thing that surprised me after I gathered everyone was how many people had been sent here.

It wasn’t just that the Democratic Union sent more people than the others, there were other kingdoms that had also sent people.

It was just that no one had expected those kingdoms to send people since they were only small or medium sized kingdoms.

The one thing to note was that the kingdoms that these people came from were all under the Democratic Union.

It was clear what they were trying to do by sending these people.

Especially since these people were far more skilled than what should have come from a small or medium sized kingdom. It was clear that the Democratic Union was interfering in more ways than one.

But still, I was confident that I would be able to keep them from getting what they wanted.

I would just let them play their games until they lost everything.

After confirming everyone that was here, I said, “Let’s get ready to head in.”

I didn’t waste any time heading off with the investigation team.

After all, I could see that everyone was already all ready to go and that they were actually anxiously waiting to go.

It was best to let them release themselves instead of keeping them tense like this in this situation.

So I didn’t waste any time heading off.

Though to be honest, I was also a bit eager to head off as well.
