The boss is indeed different.

Every sentence is casual and effortless, as if everything is under control.

Daniel's words instantly rendered Cyclone speechless, leaving her silently gazing at Marcina.

"Hmm? Great Dragon?"

"You really... are..."

Still bearing a hint of doubt, given that this was coming from an outsider, Daniel spoke.

What Cyclone needed was confirmation from Marcina.

"I did promise that bean to do something, but it doesn't seem to involve controlling the Great Dragon?"

The puzzled look on Marcina's face sent Cyclone, who had a glimmer of hope, crashing back to hell.

But in an instant, Daniel reached out and helped Cyclone up.

"Calm down a bit. Isn't it better to listen to the whole story first?"

Yesterday, Cyclone had been through too much.

Just recalling the whipping she received made the injuries on her back ache faintly.

Even though she had handled the fighting arena events and casino games well afterwards, the thought of still being a distance away from the finish line filled Cyclone's heart with pessimism.

Is it really that simple?

A wave of doubt swept over her mind. Had she truly reached the end?

She relaxed for a moment, only to have her hopes denied the next instant.

Cyclone collapsed on the spot.

Fortunately, Daniel understood this and was quick to reach out and support Cyclone.

"I was just arranged, so that if the Great Dragon becomes uncontrollable, I can act freely."

Upon hearing the nature of Marcina's task, Daniel simply smiled.

However, Cyclone seemed puzzled. What did it mean to act freely? Was this still considered a task?

Yes, that was indeed Marcina's task.

"Don't act until it's necessary to lend a hand."

And that was Marcina's task in a nutshell.

Daniel straightforwardly stated the essence, and Marcina nodded in agreement.

"Well, I have no interest in national affairs, after all."

"But why did you side with King Kakal?"

"Well~ Because Sophia's actions are intriguing, and I want to continue following her~"

The reason was simple and direct, akin to a child's mindset, merely existing for the sake of amusement.

"..."

However, it was evident that Daniel was contemplating something else.

"Do you know why Sophia is helping King Kakal?"

In what should have been a serious atmosphere, Marcina replied with a smile.

"Oh~ She seems to want that what's-it-called code to revive that dead weirdo~"

"Dead weirdo?"

"That famous one in Allen City..."

Marcina closed her eyes, desperately trying to remember a name she didn't even know.

Until Daniel gently uttered a single word, to which Marcina excitedly agreed.

"Grand... Grand Vizier, right?"

"Oh?! Exactly~ that pedophile weirdo~ Hahaha!!"

At that moment, no one could muster a laugh.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"Ugh..."

Only Cyclone's sigh responded to Marcina's question.

Of course, Cyclone's sigh was due to other factors.

"Don't worry, it's just a bit of blood. I've already deceived the maid sisters, a bit of blood won't kill you."

"R-really?!"

"Of course, I won't let you die so easily~ Hehehe~"

"Well, then thank you in advance..."

"Hey... haven't you guys realized the severity of the issue?!"

Suddenly, Daniel erupted in anger.

It was the first time Cyclone had witnessed such a scene.

Nothing unusual, as people getting angry is quite normal.

Even Cyclone could get angry.

But Daniel?

The usually composed Daniel getting angry was truly shocking to Cyclone.

However, the next moment, realizing how his outburst had stunned everyone, Daniel covered his face with his hand.

"S-sorry... I just..."

This time it was Cyclone's turn to assist. Since Daniel had helped her earlier, she thought she should return the favor now.

"It's okay. If they get resurrected, we can just kill them again, right?"

Although Cyclone's words lacked any constructive value, they managed to make Daniel laugh helplessly.

It was indeed someone like Cyclone who had slain that terrifying Grand Vizier.
