Kang Chul-In was going to activate the penalty option of the Needle of the Empress. He planned to wipe out the entirety of Rothschild’s territory. 

Since he was bound to receive the penalty anyway, he wanted to release its effect in Baldur instead of in Laputa. 

“Hehe… he must be scrambling to rebuild his infrastructures by now.” 

He was sure of it. 

Rothschild’s only saving grace was his wealth. 

He would’ve invested a tremendous amount of gold to restore his land and boost his own specs. 

“I shall ruin it all for you.” 

Kang Chul-In was a brutal man. He planned to stomp Rothschild, who was struggling to survive, without mercy. 

It was nothing personal. To be clear, Kang Chul-In did wish to teach this annoying maggot a lesson, however, 

A three-way race is a no go. 

More importantly, he had already experienced how devastating a three-way race could be in the past. It was an opportunity to prevent such an occurrence from happening. 

An alternative option would be to attack Vilhelm’s Gullveig region, but Kang Chul-In knew how inefficient it could be. 

Even if Kang Chul-In summoned lightning, storms and earthquakes upon Vilhelm and Ao Xin, how much damage could he inflict? Sure, there could be some damage, but it would barely be enough against these two...
