“So, what actually happened in the past thirty days? How did three of our people get caught?” He asked.
Ena erupted from his body. The amount of Ena caused the room atmosphere to feel heavy. Several of them were suppressed to the point where their upper bodies were slammed into the table. Some of them had their hair standing as their backs were covered in cold sweat. Only some managed to withstand this pressure.
“Master. Please calm down. If you continue, it won’t be three people anymore.” A young man raised his hand, his voice soothing the old man.
The old man squinted his eyes. Even though he was annoyed, he still retracted his Ena.
“Ha…” Several of them were clutching their chests while gasping for air.
“So…” The old man glared at them, expecting an explanation.
“Currently, we have three pieces of important information. First of all, the principal of the Frexia Academy was replaced by the sword saint. This led to Axel and Gustav getting caught.
“According to our source, there had been a disturbance at the Frexia Academy, which resulted in Axel’s weakened position. We had suggested making him return, but to no avail.
“Ultimately, he still tried to return, but he wanted everything not to end in failure. Hence, he kidnapped Nathan, who was the beast summoner.
“Unfortunately, the student council was able to locate him.”
The old man frowned. “What a fool. He should know that as a unique summoner, it wouldn’t be weird if someone tracked him all the time, especially since he was related to Vivian. Kidnapping him should be the last thing he should have done.”
“Yes, Master. Gustav was the same. He wanted to kidnap the same person, but we managed to persuade him to just retreat unless he wanted to become like Axel, but he ended up falling into the enemy’s trick.
“Still, he was somewhat useful. It seemed the Sage was the culprit. He had been manipulating everything behind the scenes.”
The old man’s eyebrows twitched.
“From the looks of it, the Sage has sent someone to protect him. No, it’s more accurate to say that the Sage has been using the beast kid as bait.
“Dikkleus was also slain because of that kid. He had been the epitome of our failure. The Sage must have been enjoying using that kid as bait.
“After all, Nathan is known to be strong and has a unique fighting style. He is currently standing toe-to-toe against Selena Ashton, who is said to be the top of the class.”
The old man crossed his arms. “So, this Nathan has been the reason for our failures?”
“Unfortunately, yes. Should we eliminate him? If we can send our elites, we will be able to win in a head-on clash.”
“You idiot! That’s exactly what they want us to think. By focusing on him because of the so-called petty reason, we would just end up losing more members.
“For now, don’t take any actions against this kid and leave him alone. We will also cease our operation for a month to avoid the public’s eyes.
“Once everything has died down, we’ll begin with a bold move. Also, what’s the progress of Plan C?”
“Plan C is progressing smoothly. We’ll be able to shock all those academies. However, it’s quite hard to approach the Frexia Academy because they are on guard. It’s even harder because of Sullivan,” one of them answered.
“Don’t bother with the Frexia Academy right now. We’ll just hit all academies except for the Frexia Academy. And prepare to manipulate the information and direct their anger to the Frexia Academy, making them believe that we have a ‘deal’ with the Frexia Academy.”
“Will that be fine, especially since the Frexia Academy has declared war against us?”
“Depends on how you twist the information. Work it out! Do you need me to tell you everything?!”
“S-Sorry.” He nodded furiously, trying to appease his anger.
“Focus on plan C for now. Once everything is right, we’ll surprise them.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Should we do something against the Sage, Master?” The young man asked.
He raised his head before shaking it. “No. Set up a team to track his location. We’ll avoid doing anything near his location. Iskar, you will handle this personally. Understand?”
“Yes.”
“Remember…” the guy stood up, glaring at them as another warning. “Don’t fail again. If you are going to fail and get captured, you will die.”
They looked down. They certainly knew that this wasn’t an empty threat. In their bodies was a powerful curse that would stop them from revealing their information and would kill them.
So, if they failed once, it would be over.
Still, a lot of them were trembling in fear. They were scared and relieved after the old man took his leave.
After all, they thought someone would die because he was angry. It turned out he was more rational than they originally thought.
The young man also left the room in the opposite direction, followed by a woman.
“Are you going to do this personally, Iskar?” The woman asked.
“Of course I will. Master has said it himself.”
“Should I help?” The woman smiled seductively while wrapping her arms around his neck. “Young Master Iskar Haygaiden?”
Iskar snorted. “Master doesn’t like superstition because of his nature as a researcher, but the great prophet has prophesied our organization since 150 years ago. In a few years, there will be a catastrophe so big that it will engulf the entire world.
“It would cause world-wide famine and countless deaths. He has prophesied our success.
“They don’t know that we are the salvation they need. If all of them turn into aliens, they won’t feel hunger. We’ll destroy the world and create a new one, even if it means massacring millions of people!” Iskar smirked.

The woman smiled coquettishly while resting her head on his chest. “Of course. Everything will go according to your will. You will be the ruler of this new world.”
“Heh…” With a smug smile, he raised his head as if imagining his success.
