Rueben's battle against five Demon Kings had created many legends about him in the entire world.
This greatly increased Rueben's reputation and even the Pinhian Republic's prestige.
However, these legends also spread a deep sense of fear of Rueben in other nations.
All the nations neighboring the Pinhian Republic knew that they would have to fight Rueben eventually.
And if he appeared, the Pinhian Republic would win every war without the presence of an Emperor-Ranked Expert.
They shuddered in dejection that such a great talent belonged to an enemy. It would have been wonderful if Rueben belonged to their respective nations.
Unfortunately, there was no use thinking much in this direction. They had to prepare a countermeasure.
Thus, all the kingdoms around the Pinhian Republic conducted a secret meeting. The topic of this meeting centered around Rueben. More precisely, plotting Rueben's death!
