“Grandma, you don’t know what you are asking,” Ann exclaimed seeing her grandma believe the boy’s claims.
As a layman, her grandma might not understand what it meant to create dungeons at one’s whims. But she knew that it meant total understanding and control of the mysteries of the world. Many great minds have been trying since the dawn of this world but none have been successful in achieving. Much less a teenage boy who was yet to finish high school. Ann was not underestimating the boy, she was just being realistic.

“At ease, boy skip this ceremony and answer me,” Colleen was surprised by the boy’s action as he was not this respectful the time they met in the temporary southern watch base.
“…” Colleen wasn’t the only one who was surprised by the behavior of the boy. Ann and Lorenzo too were shocked to see the boy bother with basic decorum in the royal presence.
However, a bold thought crossed their mind, what if the boy was using the basic decorum in the royal presence to remind Colleen that she was the respectful first lady of the south and should not be eavesdropping on other’s conversation? Thinks of this they both felt that this was more in line with the boy they knew. He was like a unique breed that lacked the fear and respect for the Royal Family that was ingrained in the bones of every citizen.
“Your Highness, I do not make claims that I am not sure about,” I answered boldly. This was not the time for me to act aloof. Though the First Lady had proper command over her elements and emotions yet her desperation could not escape my eyes. This meant that as long as I could convince her that I could deliver on what I claimed I think I will have the Southern royal family’s resources and manpower at my disposal. And hopefully, get it through their thick skull that they don’t want me pissed at them such that they will not block my path to Morningstar University.
“Bold, kid are you really finally thinking of adding truth to your fraudster reputation?” Lorenzo to was more desperate than Colleen, he not only failed to ingrain proper family values in his granddaughter but also was in a coma when the whole incident took place. He let down his beloved wife and his respected brother-in-law.
Most of all he had let down the people of the Southern region. The money from the Sliver milk project would have improved the living conditions of everyone in the southern region yet he was in a coma when it was stolen by his granddaughter. Only he knew how hard it was for him to wake up every morning and face the people. The only thing keeping him going right now was that he had to do everything in his power to make it all right.
So Lorenzo wanted to believe the boy would be able to deliver on his claims but the rational side of him understood the seriousness of the claims made by the boy. Therefore no matter how desperate he was unlike his sister-in-law he was not able to bring himself to trust the boy that he will be able to achieve what he claimed.
Seeing the reaction of Lorenzo and Ann, I understood unless I did not clear these two obstacles gaining unlimited access to the Southern Royal family’s resources and manpower through the First Lady would be impossible. Knowing what I had to do next I spoke, “You two are not hearing what I am saying I can use the dungeon relocation apparatus to create the conditions to summon a dungeon similar to silver beach gate dungeon. I am not saying that I will create a dungeon similar to the silver beach gate dungeon. There is a huge difference between these two.”
I lied because Ann and Lorenzo were not able to handle the truth. This way I made the truth more digestible for them. And also this saves me future troubles. The method of creating dungeons would be coveted by many forces, if the word got out that I can create dungeons I will be hunted down by everyone in the world who likes to play god. So my lie was not only to help Ann and Lorenzo be more open to what I was proposing but also a cover for what I was actually capable of.
Once the dungeon gets summoned I will just expose the huge flaw in the dungeon relocation apparatus and claim that I used the flaw to create a condition to summon a dungeon similar to the silver beach gate dungeon. This way I would be shifting the focus of the world leaders from me to the dungeon relocation apparatus. In their eyes, I would become a lucky fellow who noticed the flaw in the dungeon relocation apparatus that others failed to notice and somehow managed to take advantage of it.
I know my story needs a little work but this was just a contingency in case the word about me summoning a dungeon gets leaked. However, that was highly unlikely because I knew the Souther Royal family would do their best to stop that from happening. After all, this involved the honor of their family.
I know they dropped the ball when it comes to the silver milk project once already but even I did not see the betrayal of Luna coming. And what were the chances of them dropping the ball again— After all, they need this more than me.
