Chapter 149: Contagious Calmness
"I heard something happened while you were completing your mission. Did someone from the Nine Pacts or those demon generals see you?" one of the nine men asked, looking at the devil-masked man whose name was ’Blunder’.
Blunder was given the task to lead this small team of ten and cause problems in the plans of all the groups acting in this kingdom, creating conflict between them. That was how they would be able to reap the benefits in the end and get a lot of new sacrifices.
"No, it wasn’t anyone from those groups. All of them are too busy with their own work. Keke, it was a fresh face. He arrived right when I was about to leave," Blunder replied. He twirled one of his fingers in the air, and something glistening could be seen on top of it.
"Did he see you? Did you kill him?" another man from the Bone Blood Cult asked with his brows raised.
"No and no, but he must have noticed me. Anyway, all the players have already entered the battlefield. It’s time for us to start controlling everything from behind," Blunder said as he stared intently at the tip of his finger.
"Are we going to go with our original plans?" one of the nine men asked. All of them were crazy, but Blunder was a psycho on just another level. He would go to any length to torture someone in every possible way once he had locked his eyes on them. All of them shivered as they saw their leader’s lips turn into a twisted smile.
"No, I plan on doing something even more interesting."
After a pause, he asked, "Nine Pacts... how long before they arrive close to this capital? And who among the top powers would come to investigate the murder of Aldric?"
"The Nine Pacts’ team will be here in about a day, or maybe less. As for the investigation, it should most probably be Golden Moon, but they wouldn’t be here until a few days have passed," answered one of the men.
