I have a Synthesizer

Even among creatures of the same rank, there's a vast difference in strength. Like the creatures in a bottle, there are S-class disasters like Abomination, and D-class weaklings like Skeleton, who are utterly useless.

Clearly, Emory was one of those fifth-tier individuals only slightly stronger than a D-class weakling. His fighting spirit, both in quality and quantity, was lacking, making him one of the weakest among the fifth tier. Naturally, Klein wouldn't take him seriously.

… …

Once everyone had left, Klein became slightly awkward because Qian Yu was watching him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, without saying a word.

Just now, Qian Yu had set up a soundproof barrier in the room.

This made Klein somewhat unsure of what Qian Yu wanted to do to him, but he didn't overthink it. It was normal to set up a soundproof barrier for their conversations.

After a long while, Klein, who couldn't sit still any longer, finally spoke:

"Um, Your Highness, what do you want to talk about with me alone? We can't just keep waiting here, can we?"

"Why not?" Qian Yu said with a smile.

"Uh!"

Klein always felt that Qian Yu's gaze was strange, as if she were looking at a… prey.

Qian Yu didn't continue to be silent. She took out three coin-like objects from her ring, which were the three 100 chips that Klein had stuffed into her chest earlier.

Qian Yu held the chips and tapped them in her hand, making a "tap! tap! tap!" sound, occasionally flipping the chips up to look at the front and back.

"Does Mr. Cain know what this is?"

Seeing the chips, Klein was even more embarrassed than before, but he understood that Qian Yu clearly didn't want to discuss topics like power integration or the development of the Northern Territory with him now.

She wanted to talk about the private matters that had happened between them, such as touching her chest, tying her up, and beating her.

Qian Yu wasn't Agatha. Agatha was a member of the Skull Society, a fugitive. Klein could abuse her however he wanted, but Qian Yu was a princess. Abusing her came with consequences.

"Well, Your Highness's things are naturally extraordinary treasures. I guess the three coins in your hand are antiques. Judging by their color, they're quite old."

Klein lied without changing his expression. These chips don't have my name on them. I won't admit it even if you beat me to death.

Qian Yu was stunned for a moment. Three magic coins made of special material, about 80% new, were actually called antiques. Klein's way of lying was truly astonishing.

She looked at Klein's expression of "I won't say anything even if you beat me to death" and felt inexplicably angry. Wasn't this a typical case of taking advantage and then denying it?

She picked up one of the chips and砸, with a "tap!" sound, hit Klein on the head.

The plastic chip was very light and didn't hurt when it hit his head. Anyway, Klein himself didn't feel anything.

"Pretend, keep pretending! You're quite generous, Klein. You gave away 700 Thales without hesitation, and even stuffed it into my chest. Now you're not admitting it.

Where's that nouveau riche aura you had back then? Come on, I'll stand here and not move. Let me see you stuff another one in!"

Klein's breathing hitched. She just called me Klein? When did she know I was Klein? Even if my identity was exposed, it should only be Cain!

The error in intelligence made Klein feel a little flustered. If the princess exposed him, the consequences would be really bad.

"Uh? Is Your Highness talking about me? Are you misreading the name? I'm Cain, not Klein. You can't joke about something as important as a name."

As soon as Klein finished speaking, Qian Yu threw a copy of his information in front of him.

"Klein Alex, son of Esmond and Katie, an outstanding member of the Gerrard Society's Executive Department, a remarkably talented arcane mage and necromancer.

Participated in the hostage exchange between the two countries and the extermination of the Skull Society's capital branch, ruthless and decisive in his actions.

Suspected of participating in the killing of fifth-tier experts multiple times, specific strength unknown, triggered the arcane energy tide in Hozworth five months ago, causing huge economic losses.

So, Mr. Klein, instead of properly serving in the Western Border, you came to the Northern Border to plunder. Did you do this with my permission?"

Klein touched his head. Well, you've dug up all my secrets. What can I say?

"So Your Highness knows me so well! Ha, haha! I am Klein, I admit that.

But you say I'm plundering the Northern Border, I really didn't. I'm a law-abiding citizen of Teleria. How could I do such illegal things?"

Qian Yu had already investigated his background in detail, so Klein simply admitted it. But plundering the Northern Border was illegal, so how could he admit to that?

"Alright, I've checked you out in detail. There are only two of us here, so there's no need for you to pretend with me."

After saying that, Qian Yu lifted her clothes, revealing her flat abdomen. Above her navel, a large black and purple fist mark remained.

She usually wore outfits that showed her navel, precisely because she had been punched so hard by Klein that she had to cover up in the past few days.

Besides her navel, she also brushed back her loose hair. There was also a large black and purple mark on the back of her neck, which was Klein's second strike that day.

"You hit pretty hard that night two days ago. My stomach and neck still hurt. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?

Also, when we were at the casino before, you not only used me, but also touched me. If others knew about this, my mother wouldn't even need to kill you. The Northern Border Army could crush you to death, like that guy at the door. He has a lot of hostility towards you."

Qian Yu walked very close, stopping only in front of Klein. She was petite, with a height difference of a full head compared to Klein.

Now that Klein was sitting and Qian Yu was standing, Klein could just look straight at Qian Yu's chest! Then he came to a very objective evaluation of Qian Yu's figure.

"Graceful and charming, that's the standard figure of an Eastern girl!"

In fact, the Empress's family all fit Klein's aesthetics, but this family was too powerful in terms of status and background, so Klein usually didn't bother to find trouble for himself.

Seeing Klein scan her with such aggressive eyes, Qian Yu smiled:

"I let you look at my injuries, where are you looking, Mr. Klein?"

Uh! Can I say I'm looking at your chest and legs? Forget it, I'm afraid I'll get beaten if I say it.

"Cough cough!"

Klein glanced at the severe bruises on Qian Yu's body and was quite satisfied with the attack effect he had caused. The other party was a princess, and a second princess with a very high chance of succession. Looking at this purplish-blue, I hit her, how fulfilling.

Although he was being questioned by the princess, Klein felt a little relieved in his heart. As long as things were said, they could be resolved. He was just afraid of keeping it bottled up, which would make both of them uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, what happened that night was actually a misunderstanding. You attacked first, and I was just forced to retaliate."

"So you mean it's my fault?"

[Clearly it's your own fault, and you still want me to make up a story to explain it. Does having a big background make you special?]

"Of course I don't mean that. The situation was quite special at the time. You saw it too. I just wanted to knock you out, I didn't have any intention to kill you.

I only went to Gerard Fortress to take my magic beast to see his child, that little black crow. Isn't it normal for a father to want to see his son? I really didn't do anything else, please believe me."

Mentioning the little black crow, Qian Yu's eyes softened slightly, but she immediately put away this emotion and listened to Klein continue.

"As for you saying that the Northern Border Army will trouble me, well, His Majesty is one thing, and the Northern Border does have many experts, I admit that.

But what kind of trash is that guy at the door? You're comparing that kind of weakling to me? Do you have some misunderstanding about my strength?"

"Trash, that's quite a vivid description!"

Qian Yu murmured. Klein's tone wasn't small, but he shouldn't have reached the fifth tier yet.

"You're the first person to describe a fifth-tier expert as so不堪. What about when we were at the casino? I remember, when you were giving money, you even pinched me twice. Make up another reason for me to hear, and let me see if it sounds good."

This woman is really difficult to deal with. I went gambling, isn't it natural to touch the nearby waitress a couple of times when giving tips?

What's so strange about that? You really think I'm a great philanthropist if I give tips without touching her! Isn't it just making up a good-sounding reason? I'll arrange it for you right away.

"I can't be blamed for what happened at the casino either. You were disguised, I didn't know it was you. Everything I did was something a normal gambler would do.

Your Highness, you should be glad it was me at the time. I only pinched you twice. You're already very lucky that I didn't do anything more excessive. I really don't understand if you can blame me for this."

Klein spoke vividly, with a very aggrieved expression.
