“You know I kind of feel bad for Scarlet. Just imagining how her face must have looked when she realized that has been betrayed makes me laugh.” Right now a group of 4 people in black cloaks and hoods were inside the capital.
“Scarlet was just an idiot. She failed to realize her place and thought that she had become an inner member of our organization. This is how the organization always has worked and will work.” The short person walking at the front replied.
The people couldn’t help but stare at the members of the League of black tomb. The people especially felt attracted seeing them walking in cloaks and hiding their faces in hoods. “I don’t understand why did we stand in lines to enter the city when we could have just broken the city’s defense and entered the capital.” A tall muscular man complained as he carried a greatsword on his back. 𝑙𝘳𝘦𝘢.𝒸𝑜𝘮
“Idiot, do you know anything other than violence?” The girl walking next to the tall muscular man mocked him.
“What did you say?”
“Enough. This decision was taken by our leader. As inner group members, we should follow the leader’s orders.” The man who said these words was also another inner group member of the organization. The man had elf ears and a scar over his left eye.
“Hmph! I don’t want to be lectured by someone who didn’t hesitate to kill his own master just to leave the Rose High hills city.” It was a big muscular man named Tommy who said these words.
“Tommy, you better shut your trashy mouth, otherwise I don’t mind ending your life here.” The half-orc Tommy shivered when he was directly threatened by the leader himself. Tommy knew that if the leader wanted he can kill everyone here alone. Each core member of the organization was monstrous.
“Ivan, you know there was no need to kill your master.” It was the very same Ivan whom Aditya and Alicia had met in Rose high hills city. Ivan was a servant and butter of the Rose family’s 3rd-daughter, Kyra.
“I killed Kyra because it was her father who was responsible for my parent’s death.” Ivan replied in an emotionless tone.
“Bullsh*t! Can’t you make a better lie?” Lucy Barnes, the female who was arguing with Tommy a moment ago looked at Ivan in disdain. Ivan did not reply. Ivan had no intention of telling his reason.
The short heigh person who was walking at the front looked at Ivan from the corner of his eyes. Others might not know the reason but he knew why Ivan had killed his master, Kyra. A day ago, Kyra had somehow found out Ivan’s secret that he had kept from his master for years. Kyra was furious and also heartbroken. Kyra went to confront Ivan. To keep Kyra’s mouth shut and make sure that no one learns about this, Ivan had no choice but to kill Kyra.
‘I don’t have a regret in my heart. I am doing this to avenge my parents and my relatives.’ Ivan tightly clenched his fists. When Tommy had talked about his master, Ivan couldn’t help but remember the smiling kind face of Kyra. It was Kyra who had given him a new life and yet he was the one who ended her life.
Even though Ivan would never admit it, his heart was full of regret and guilt for what he has done. Ivan did not have a choice. Knowing his master’s personality, Kyra definitely would have tried to pursue and convince Ivan to quit the organization. To Ivan, abandoning the organization would be the same as abandoning his dream of avenging his parents.
“By the way, where is Jay? I thought he was supposed to come with us?” Ivan tried to divert everyone’s focus to a different matter by asking about Jay. Ivan had met Jay a few times in the past.
“Someone needed to silence Scarlet so I sent Jay to do the job.” Replied the short-height man whose name was Simon Lloyd.
“I think you should have sent someone else to do the job. Jay always had a soft spot for Scarlet. He might even betray us.” Ivan knew that Scarlet and Jay were quite close. Both often hang out and even went on dates.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I had ordered Jay to get close to Scarlet. Scarlet was an important chess piece for our plan so I needed someone to keep an eye on her without getting her suspicious. Jay was the perfect man to do the job.”
When Simon talked about Jay, a look of disgust appeared on Lucy’s face. Fortunately, because of the hood that covered her face, no one saw her expression. Lucy did not like Jay. He pretended to be some angel but in reality, he was the reincarnation of the devil. During the day time, Jay would work in a church and help the orphans but during the night time, he would do unthinkable things to girls.
If Jay didn’t belong to this organization, then Lucy already would have killed this nasty piece of sh*t. For years Lucy has been trying to convince the core members to warn Jay to keep himself in check but the core members never bothered themselves with what Jay was doing. Every member of the League of Black tomb was allowed to do whatever they wanted. The members would be called if there are any missions or important jobs. The outer members, inner members, and core members had different roles in the organization.
“Lucy, Tommy, and Ivan listen to my words carefully. The guardian of the Ethereal Empire is currently fighting with the mutant fire ants. Meaning there are no 5th-order left in the capital as of now. Our plan is to take that item and get out of here. So no unnecessary killing or trouble. I and Ivan will enter the Ethereal Empire’s treasury, while the two of you will stay outside and guard the treasury. If in case, something does go out of our calculations, use the teleportation orb and escape. If in case one of us is captured, then you should know what to do right?”
“Yes.” If one member of the League of Black tomb is captured, that member would commit suicide to keep information about the organization from being leaked. Even if the inner members do want to leak information they cannot do it as every inner and core member has been bound by a contract that prevents them from talking or speaking anything about the League of Black tomb.
“Good. Let’s begin.” Suddenly the 4 people who were walking on the street disappeared. In less than 10 seconds, Tommy, Lucy, Ivan, and Simon all four had managed to get inside the Royal palace. Without anyone noticing, all four of them easily arrived in front of the treasury which was being guarded by two Peak 4th-order cultivators.
Tommy silently appeared behind the two Peak 4th-order guards and snapped their necks, instantly killing them. “You can now enter the treasury.”
“Not yet. The treasury is protected by a beginner-grade 5-star artifact. These guards have the key to deactivating the beginner-grade 5-star artifact. Ivan checks if you find any star-shaped object.”
Ivan nodded his head and then started checking the bodies of the guards. After looking for a few seconds, Ivan took out two black and white star-shaped metal objects. Ivan then activated both fist-size star-shaped objects by infusing mana. As the two star-shaped objects began to glow, Simon signaled Ivan to give one of the star-shaped objects to him.
With the star-shaped objects, both of them safely entered the treasury without being attacked. The interior of the treasury was full of gold, precious metals, artifacts, pills, potions, magic fruits, weapons, armor, royal gold coins, mana stones, etc.
Neither Ivan nor Simon looked interested in any of that. “Look for the Black box.”
Both Ivan and Simon started looking for a black box. After searching for a while, Ivan found it. The black box was buried deep under royal gold coins. “I found it.”
Simon nodded his head. “Let’s leave. Our job is done.”
The four 5th-order cultivators of the League of Black tomb then left the royal palace and then left the Whitfrost city without anyone noticing them. No one in the royal palace noticed the death of treasury guards until some soldiers who happened to pass by saw them lying dead on the ground.
“Call the prime minister.” As soon as it was found that the treasury guards were killed, the prime minister shut down the royal palace and the Whitfrost city. No one was allowed to leave the royal palace or the city without permission. Even the teleportation array had been stopped. No one was allowed to enter the capital until further notice.
