After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1602

Chapter 1602: Estra’s Oath

Back in Alterra, life was as usual—colorful and bright. People had bright eyes, smiles on their faces, and expressions full of life.

Well, not everyone.

Sniff

"I can’t believe I’ve been dumped like this!" Baron sniffled as he gulped a large jug of beer in the middle of the day.

He looked horrible; his chubby face was already chubbier. When he was blushing or intoxicated, he also blushed, but it was the ugly type of flush.

Baron gazed ugly when crying in general, but he didn’t care about that right now!!

"Wuuuuu— whyyyyy does it happen to me? I thought she was the one!"

"How could she betray me? Aren’t aborigine women safer about things like that?"

His drinking buddies—his cousins Jesse and Angelo—gasped and immediately covered his mouth.

"You idiot. Do you wanna be hated by all the women of Alterra?"

"I know, I’m sorry," he said, sniffling. His heart was in pain, and he ended up blabbering some controversial things.

It could be said that he had been complacent because the girl seemed to really like him.

Eloi—his ex’s brother—was also a really nice guy, and he was Bianca’s lover.¹ This conflict had turned it awkward between them, and that made things extra sad.

To be fair, there was a lot of context to his and Elya’s breakup.

The conflict started because of a few business deals. After the Swagen Mercenary team, there were quite a few more teams from Twinwave that came, hoping to get good deals, too.

It was just that the Rolan and Swagen mercenary teams had already gained a huge advantage as the first arrivals. Not to mention, Jones of the Swagen Mercenary Team was relatively close to the Terran mercenary team, having known them even before they came to this region. ¹

One of the newcomers’ ways to get exclusivity was to target some of his (Baron) new products. It was just that, despite them approaching him first, he was biased towards his future in-laws—of course, he was—and gave the deal to them instead.

Who would think the bastards would be so vindictive?

Shortly after that, his long-distance girlfriend sent a post breaking up with him!

She was a week away from moving to Alterra!

Anyway, during this time, she had apparently been seduced and she fell for the bastard from the other team!

Eloi immediately sent letters to his team to investigate, of course, worried that his sister might have been held hostage.

It was just that... his team confirmed she was perfectly fine and happy.

Then they thought that she must’ve been fooled, or even brainwashed, and they used a lot of resources to test the other guy, even sending some skilled prostitutes in his way.

Seeing a man’s infidelity was also the fastest way to slap reality in the girl’s face.

Shockingly, the bloke who seduced her actually liked her back and remained faithful no matter what tests they put him through! After background checks, they also found out that the guy was fairly decent.

The dude’s boss actually wanted her to spy on Baron, but she felt guilty and told their team, but after some conflicts, she still didn’t break up with the guy.

And then... yesterday, they got news that they actually eloped!
