Chapter 320: Chapter 70: The Court of Justice Director _1
The Vice President shook his head, saying, "It’s still not very clear, the incident in Dark City has shaken the high ranks of the Empire of Sunset City. The Emperor of the Empire himself has ordered a trustworthy minister to handle the situation there, all the news from that place has been blocked. The Thief Guild only has some limited information, and the full picture of the situation is still unclear. I guess all we can do now is wait for more news."
The superior asked: "It has been so long, has the successor of Hades been found yet?"
The Vice President awkwardly replied, "Both our people and the members of the Thief Guild are in the process of searching for him, but it’s like he vanished into thin air, there is no news at all."
In the superior’s eyes, a touch of cold light flashed. He said coldly, "A bunch of trash, that boy is not important, what is important is the Sword of Hades he has. You should know very well how much benefit the Sword of Hades can bring us. Immediately send more people to find him. Alive, I want to see the person, dead, I want to see the corpse, find him as soon as possible."
With his one hand, the Vice President wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and continuously agreed. He was most aware of how terrifying his superior was. After losing one arm, his strength greatly decreased, and he lost much of his value. If he still couldn’t find the disciple of Hades, his superior might find a reason to kick him out from his current position, or even kill him. To save his life, he had to find traces of that boy this time no matter what.
Did the Thief Guild really not know the specific news about Dark City? Of course not. As the group with the best information on the continent, how could they not know such a big incident?
Mie Feng held the report from his subordinates in his room, his eyes filled with cold glint. Two days ago, when he received this news, his desire to kill arose. The report stated that a large number of those who died in Dark City had become mummies. This quickly led him to think of his Uncle’s death. Only the Sword of Hades would result in such an outcome. After half a year, he finally received news of the murderer who killed his Uncle, and he was in the Empire of Sunset City. It was time for him to take revenge. He clearly knew that the Assassin’s Guild was also looking for Ah Dai’s whereabouts, so he only reported part of the situation to his father, and used the news blockade in the Empire of Sunset City as an excuse to hide the specific details. Only when others didn’t know this news could he secretly take his revenge. He crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, and in a burst of energy, it turned into a pile of powder.
"Hmph! You, the murderer who killed my Uncle, I will never let you live any longer. You wait, I will kill you to pacify my Uncle’s spirit in heaven."
Inside the Great Hall of Divine Light of the Holy Church.
Xuan Ye and his father-in-law, another Red Robe Priest, Na Yan, were looking at the information received from the Empire of Sunset City. The Holy Church doesn’t engage in production and is entirely maintained by the donations of its followers. The royal family of the Empire of Sunset City donates tens of millions of gold coins every year, a sum that other three nations combined could not reach. The Holy Church had always favoured the Empire of Sunset City. Besides its inherited mission from its predecessors, the Empire was also its biggest financial source. They knew about the rampant of the Dark Forces in the Empire of Sunset City, but for the betterment of the Holy Church, they turned a blind eye and feigned ignorance. Moreover, they selected to ignore since those Dark Forces, albeit rampant in the Empire of Sunset City, posed no threats to the Holy Church according to the information they had received.
Na Yan muttered, "The Golden Divine Light actually appeared in Dark City, this is impossible. Even we, the ones closest to God, have never seen the Divine Light. How could it appear there? Could it be that the Sky God has really revealed himself to warn us?" The other two Red Robe Priests were not in the Holy Church, so the message naturally ended up in his and Xuan Ye’s hands. Na Yan had always been in charge of the matters related to the Empire of Sunset City. Naturally, such a great incident had made him anxious.
Xuan Ye, who had never had a good impression of the Empire of Sunset City, frowned replied: "It should not be a divine miracle, otherwise, we would have sensed something here. A hundred square kilometer area being flattened could be achieved if we joined forces and had the support of White Robe Priests to cast a Forbidden Curse. Could it have been man-made? The Empire of Sunset City indeed deserved some punishment. Not long ago, I passed an order to the Emperor of Sunset City, Quan Yi, to release the captured elves. They blatantly denied having seen any elves. These guys are getting too arrogant. If the economic needs of the Holy Church didn’t depend on them, I would have supported the Empire of Washington to completely annihilate this despicable race a long time ago." He was enraged as he mentioned this matter. He felt that Quan Yi, the Emperor of the Empire of Sunset City, did not seem to regard him at all.
Na Yan was very satisfied with his son-in-law, Xuan Ye, who was not only the Pope’s son but his capabilities are also recognized by everyone. Young as he was, he reached the status of a Red Robe Priest and is the most likely candidate to inherit the pope’s position. When he learned that Xuan Ye was in love with his daughter, Na Yan laughed in his sleep. "Hmm, Ye’er, don’t be impulsive, be cautious in any situation. You made a good point earlier. However, the matter is not that simple. It should be handled carefully."
A flash of cold light flashed in Xuan Ye’s eyes, and he said coldly: "Although I don’t know how the divine light emerged, I clearly know who was responsible for the massacre of the City Lord’s Mansion. Only the Sword of Hades could have created those mummified bodies. Ah Dai, you actually dared to call yourself the Grim Reaper. Humph! Remember what I told you initially, if you use the Sword of Hades to cause harm, I won’t spare you, even if the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang is protecting you."
