[VRMMO] Dead One

[Next day.]

"You all probably wondering why I had gathered you here." – said the dragon king as the elders of the family, the people who hold the power and all sort of important figures of the Wumi clan were called to the dragon king's garden.

"I'm going to say this straight, so listen very well."

"As you know, the reason why our clan fell to ruins is because of my son."

"The foolish son of mine that went mad."

"That is the truth."

"…"

"But, recently I found out something."

"Something that was related to this madness."

"And I've discovered the truth."

<<The dragon king told his clan the truth that he had found.>>

<<That his son didn't went mad, but instead was brainwashed, turned into slave.>>

<<Obviously many members of the clan said that he was saying stupid shit… No wonder there, their trust in their leader was somewhat shattered after the prince went mad.>>

<<However there was a problem.>>

<<The king had evidence.>>

<<He had information.>>

<<He had proof.>>

<<The fiancé.>>

<<The drug fish.>>

<<The mass mind control.>>

<<He had the evidence proving that somebody controlled the fish and everybody who were present there were seemingly also attacked with mind control… So, by just trying to remember anything about the fiancé or the food they ate, they instantly started realizing that they may had also been mind control.>>

"And this isn't all." – said the dragon king as the knights brought in half dead traitor knight.

"This scum! He was working with the TRUE culprits!"

"He betrayed our own clan, just so he could get rich himself!"

"But he was just nothing more than a rat."

"No."

"There is a real traitor here."

<<Dragon king accused that there was a traitor amongst the highest members of the clan.>>

<<Obviously this caused some conflict… But there was a problem.>>

<<The dragon king had both evidence and valid reason to conduct search on each of the high-ranking members.>>

<<They couldn't refuse the dragon king… Not only that, but they also knew that if the traitor was really present here, then they have to eliminate the bastard and find out the truth.>>

<<And as for me?>>

<<I just hid nearby.>>

<<There was a good chance that some kind of assassination attempt may happened right now and what not.>>

<<But so far, when the investigation was on going, there was no incident or anything.>>

<<Several people were already proven innocent.>>

<<…I thought at first that maybe the culprits are giving up, as they may had realized that the dragon king is having some kind of hidden support, A.K.A me.>>

<<And it may had been a case… Since there was nothing. I've waited for hours, but nothing was going on at all!>>

<<Did the enemy…. No.>>

<<They must had realized that making any move now would make situation go even worse.>>

<<The investigation continued without any hitch… And the clan members slowly stated to think that the dragon king may had just went mad, since there was no results.>>

<<…But then interesting came in.>>

<<Some records that were recovered about the past… Some records that somebody tried intentionally to hide out.>>

<<And that made somebody panic.>>

<<One of the elders of the clan, ran away.>>

"CATCH THIS BASTARD!" – shouted the dragon king as he ordered his soldiers to caught the fleeing elder.

(SHIT! THIS ISN'T GOOD!) – thought the long-limbed dragon as he tried to get away from the castle.

(I NEED TO-) – however, as the elderly dragon tried getting away, one of his wings were suddenly pierced by massive pillar of acid, which straight up burned a massive hole in the dragon's wing, causing the dragon to lose balance in the skies.

"!?"

(I'M GETTING SHOT AT?!) - thought the elderly dragon as he could no longer fly at top speed… Which in turn allowed the dragon king personally to catch up to the fleeing dragon, smashing right into him, before then having two dragons clash into the ground.

"I've caught you, you filthy traitor!" – shouted the dragon king as he captured the clan's elder.

<<I've was on standby nearby and noticed the bastard fleeing… So, I may or may not gave a bit of hand here.>>

<<And it was more than enough for that guy to capture the elder of the clan.>>

<<It was obvious.>>

<<That he was a traitor, since he tried to run away. He didn't wanted the old records to be discovered or checked… He really gave himself away with how much he panicked.>>

<<However->>

"!"

"NO WAIT! I'M STILL USEFUL! DON'T DO IT! DON'T-"

The dragon's elder heart exploded, ripping him apart from inside out as the elderly dragon vomited out his own blood.

"?!"

"Hey! What the hell is going!? ASNSWER ME!" – shouted the dragon king… But the elderly dragon was already gone.

"…"

(That was the same thing that murdered the agents I've tortured.) – thought Oron who was observing the scene from afar in hiding.

<<Elder of the clan. J'kun.>>

<<Upon investigating him and some of the records about him, it was found out that he was working directly with the Fish Hook company.>>

<<He was without doubt the traitor.>>

<<He wasn't a fake traitor, somebody who was made to look like one, but he was a real fucking deal.>>

<<The records that were recovered were used what was know about the elder J'kun, and things started slowly connecting bit by bit, creating a solid image.>>

<<And confirming that the elder J'kun was 100% traitor.>>

<<With that, the dragon king support from his clan was completely restored.>>

<<The clan that seen the dragon king as somebody incompetent has completely changed.>>

<<He was trusted once again….>>

<<…>>

<<And it didn't took long for the incident to kick up amongst the rumors.>>

<<The rumors explaining that the madness of the prince of the Wumi clan wasn't his doing.>>

<<But instead somebodies else.>>

<<The dragon king couldn't control his people at all in that area… No wonder there.>>

<<The moment they realized that the whole history they knew was fake, and that they were all the time the true victims here… They just snapped.>>

<<Obviously fingers instantly were pointed at Muwi clan as well.>>

<<But they in turn said that it was a bullshit, saying stuff that it was lies and what not… Makes sense as well.>>

<<I mean, the mad prince did committed the act of genocide.>>

<<However, the fact remains that the dragon king of the Wumi clan have evidence, proving that somebody was behind everything.>>

<<Not only that, but I've told the dragon king about the cursed explosion, the one that killed the agents that I've had been torturing.>>

<<It was the same thing that killed the traitor.>>

"…"

"That means they are desperate." – said the dragon king as he was alone in his office with Oron.

"Pretty much… It would also explain why they didn't sent any assassin as well, since it would give you more proof." – said Oron in his lizardman form.

"But still, the fuck is going on? It didn't took long at all for the rumors to spread about conspiracy."

"…"

"I didn't tried suppressing them." – said the dragon king.

"!?"

"What?! Why?!" – asked Oron.

"Because they deserve to know the truth! All of them! My clan needs to know the truth!" – said the dragon king.

"And do you realize what the fuck did you done!?" – asked pissed off Oron.

"I FUCKING DO!" – shouted the dragon king.

"I'm the leader of the Wumi clan! I'm their king!"

"I've had failed them once and I will not do it again!"

"There is somebody out there, aiming to kill them all! My family! The entire clan!"

"Do you really think I will just stay quiet when all of them are planned to be killed by somebody?"

"THE ASNWER IS NO!"

"…"

"Suit yourself." – said Oron as he gotten up and left the office.

(This fucking retard.) – thought Oron as he wandered through the castle, before then leaving it.

(Protect them?! YOU FUCKING IDIOT! YOU MAY HAD KILLED THEM!)

(For crying out loud!)

(You may had really killed them for real!)

(The moment these rumors would start, it would only bring disaster to not only Wumi and Muwi clan, but to the whole empire!) – thought Oron as he left the castle grounds and quickly ran away without looking back.

<<There is a traitor that wishes to destroy the empire.>>

<<The news will spread like wildfire.>>

<<Every clan will find out the truth soon after, that the Wumi clan was aimed to be destroyed by somebody with power and authority.>>

<<Forget the traitor within the clan or the rat.>>

<<The culprit must had been a clan.>>

<<It could had been the only explanation for some of the stuff that was going on.>>

<<And it won't take people to put two and two together to figure out that simple truth as well.>>

<<But that fucking retard didn't cared about it!>>

<<I know he wants the people to know the truth! But HE FUCKED UP LIKE FUCKING HELL!>>

<<…>>

<<Yeb.>>

<<Screw Wumi clan.>>

<<They may had killed themselves.>>

<<…But then again, this is opportunity for me.>>

<<While all eyes will now be drawn to the Wumi clan, nobody will pay attention to me and my own investigation.>>

<<So yeah… This alliance may had been short lived, and it may end up soon with Wumi clan's annihilation… But then again.>>

<<I will milk out all of the usefulness from their death.>>
