Chapter 321: The Hooded Man
In the dark caves deep in the depths of mountains surrounded by dark energy, a group of people dressed in all black were standing together as they waited for the arrival of their master.
It was so dark in there that despite it being the middle of the day, there wasn’t a single ray of natural light filtering inside the cave. The only source of light inside were the couple of torches that were lit to provide minimum brightness.
A couple of moments later, a person appeared from the shadows and moved to sit on the throne like seat at the high platform, made of obsidian and gemstones of different colors.
His tall frame was hidden underneath the long black cloak that he wore, hiding his identity from the onlookers.
When he spoke, his voice sounded almost ancient and the walls rumbled with the intensity of his powers. He was someone with strong magical powers, someone who should be feared.
Everyone kneeled and bowed to greet the man - "Long live, His Lordship."
The man gave a swift wave with one of his hands as if to ask them all to stand up, and they all did as they were told without wasting any time. Every person present in the room, other than the one in cloak, looked powerful and were dressed as guards.
"How are our preparations going?" The man on the throne asked as he looked at his subordinates from under the hood of the cloak that was hiding his face from any prying eyes.
One of the guards stepped forward and folded his palms together and once again greeted the man with a bow before he eventually answered, "Everything is going according to the plan. It won’t be long before we will be ready to set out."
