1011 Can I ask you something?
"Where is she? The Primordial Succubus that was born, I thought the two of you went to get her."
A bearded man with a deep voice questioned.
His face wasn't visible since the room was dark, not to mention that the two people reporting the situation didn't dare to raise their heads and directly look at the man's face.
They were acting as if their entire body would burn away if they looked into this man's eyes.
"P-Please Forgive us, Lord Aelarion, We couldn't bring her." The man reported.
He was a Complete Divine Stage Cultivator, someone who would be feared by even the world leaders if he ever went to them or displayed even a part of his strength, yet, in front of this man, he couldn't help but bow his head and tremble in fear.
This man was that dangerous, after all. Not to mention he had seemed to fail such a simple task.
Hearing his report, Lord Aelarion turned silent. He wasn't angry, he just couldn't understand how can one fail in such an easy task.
Didn't they just have to show up, explain how things work,ntroduce the technique to rebuild the foundation, and ask them to join them in order to get the technique? No one would be insane enough to not accept these terms.
Then why were these two men back empty-handed?
"What happened? Did the Succubus reject your offer?" Lord Aelarion questioned. Even though he highly doubted it, he wouldn't be surprised if there were one of two people foolish enough to reject their offer.
If that was the case, then that Succubus probably doesn't know what is good for her, and having someone like her join their ranks was not important, no matter how talented, a fool will always remain a fool.
Aclarion had already decided if that succubus rejected
their offer, then he would simply give up on her, rather, he would use her as bait.
Who knows? He might get to catch some people from the Black Order.
But then,
"We didn't get to see her." The two men reported and,
"Huh?" Aelarion frowned in confusion.
They didn't meet her?
Were they being lazy?
No, they wouldn't have dared to report it to him if that was the case these people weren't this daring yet
Aelarion knew that he still hadn't lost his touch.
"As we went to the Lust State to get that succubus, Lady Vyriana appeared and she told us not to leave and get close to that woman anymore."
"Vyriana?" Aelarion's expression changed.
"What was she doing there?" He questioned.
"We do not know." The man shook his head.
The other man standing beside him, however, knew something and reported, "I heard Lady Vyriana was on her break along with the Seven Heroes. So she was most probably just roaming around when she sensed that Succubus's aura and rushed towards her. She might be very bored, could that be the reason why she stopped us?"
Aelarion, however, shook his head, "She wouldn't do something like this just because she was bored, that woman must have had her reason.
Leave that Succubus, focus on other things we have to do."
"But Lord Aelarion, that succubus has a Primordial Level Bloodline, her potential surpassed even ours, an asset like this, what would we do if she destroys her own life like this? Wouldn't it be a pity? I believe we should meet that succubus, explain everything to her and bring her he-"
Suddenly, the man froze and his eyes remained open.
*Gulp*
He gulped.
Aelarion was glaring at him with those crystal blue eyes of his. Just those eyes were enough to make a Complete Divine Stage Cultivator like him tremble in fear.
"Vyriana must have had her reasons. Do what you are told to do and do not try to act smarter than you are, is that clear?"
"A-As you command, Lord Aelarion."
"That Catkin Willow Feline was involved with the Black Order, look into that, especially the recent battle between the Feline and Falcon City, I heard the current successor of the Feline City, Rune, had played an important role in that battle, even getting her brother, who was on Willow's side to help her out.
Investigate how she did that, see if she received some help from someone and if she did, look into their intentions, history, and see if you can find any connection with the Black Order."
Aclarion ordered.
However, as he said those words, the two complete divine stage cultivators started looking at each other with strange looks on their faces.
"What's the problem?" Aelarion questioned.
"Lord Aelarion..." The man called out.
"Speak," Aelarion ordered.
"W-We were looking into this case earlier than the Primordial Succubus was born, however..."
"When we found out who helped Rune in that matter and were trying to look into their past, we noticed Lady Vyriana already investigating them. When she saw her, she ordered us to go away, I don't think she knows why we were here, however, we didn't dare to go back there after this."
"Vyriana was looking into them as well?" Aelarion frowned.
"That is correct, actually, there was a contact between the Succubus Lord and Rune Feline before the Willow Incident, we actually wanted to investigate more about this, however, since Lady Vyriana was involved, we believed it was better to come to you and take your permission before doing anything." The man reported and Aelarion started thinking.
Seeing that his proposal was taken seriously and was not outright rejected, the man smiled and,
"It can't just be a coincident, Lord Aelarion, I doubt that the Black Order is involved and that Primordial Secret is in danger."
Aelarion, however, shook his head,
"Don't do anything, let Vyriana handle this.
You two can focus your attention somewhere else.
Right, there is also a challenge between those clans, right? Go and oversee that, the scale of that challenge is quite big, so someone at your level is needed."
He ordered, waving his hand as he dismissed them.
"Lord Aelarion."
Suddenly, the man called out.
"If you don't mind, can I ask you something? I have been curious about this for a while now."
