“Y-You b-betrayed me…”
Royce, the spy muttered in a hoarse voice.
Right now, he was lying on the ground, his face was pale and he was breathing heavily while his eyes were wide open.
Yes, you guessed it right; he went through that agonizing pain.
3 times.
Thoughts about betraying Master Nux, there was nothing like that in his mind now.
However, he was still unhappy that he was cheated.
“Well, you can’t really blame that on me. You were the one who was stupid enough to trust someone. Especially someone you tried to peep on and had discovered their secrets.”
Nux just shrugged.
Royce couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
He was too careless.
This man in front of him reeked of trouble.
He is a Grand Master Stage at such a young age, he knew that he was from Thousand Information Chamber with just one glance and he was with the Royal Concubine, in the middle of the night, inside the Royal Palace.
There was no way he could be someone normal.
Royce regretted it!
He should have been 100 times more cautious when he met this man, however, he did exactly the opposite.
Nux however, did not care what Royce felt.
He just needed information.
“Alright, now answer me, who sent you here?”
Royce of course didn’t have any thoughts about hiding anything from Nux and he answered, “Kelton Ackerg.”
“Who is he? What is his cultivation level? Why did he send you here?” Nux asked another series of questions.
“He is a Grand Master Stage Cultivator and he is the Leader of the Thousand Information Chamber.
As for why did he send me here, I do not know.”
Royce answered honestly.
“So you are telling me that the leader of the glorified Thousand Information Chamber is a mere Grand Master Stage Cultivator? Not only that, a spy, who is just a Master Stage Cultivator reports directly to the leader of the Organization?
How is this organization even working?” Nux couldn’t help but wonder.
As for Allura and Royce who heard him, their lips twitched.
A ‘mere’ Grand Master Stage?
‘Just’ Master Stage?
What the hell!?
Do you know how many people are stuck in these realms for their entire life!?
Was Master Stage weak!?
Was Grand Master Stage weak!?
No it was not!
“We are an organization that deals with spying and information, Master Nux. We are not fighters.” Royce then calmed his anger and answered politely.
“I understand that… but… a Master Stage Cultivator reporting directly to the leader… doesn’t feel very believable to me…” Nux muttered and Royce’s lips twitched again.
He was sure that Master Nux was doing this on purpose.
However, even though he couldn’t do anything against him, he answered a bit rudely.
“Master Nux, the Thousand Information Chamber doesn’t just choose people randomly. If you want to become a high-ranking Spy in Thousand Information Chamber, you need to pass through strict requirements.
If you don’t pass those requirements, then even if you are an Expert Stage Cultivator, you won’t be accepted.”
“Hmm? What are the conditions?”
“You need to have Affinity with both Fire and Wind Elements. And I, have a Medium Level Affinity with both of them!”
Royce muttered with a proud look on his face.
Now, Nux understood, he had read and learned about this world a little.
He knew that having an affinity with more than one element was rare.
If Thousand Information Chamber actually only recruits people with dual affinity with Fire and Wind, then it makes complete sense for a Master Stage Cultivator to report directly to the leader.
“Alright, so where is this leader?” Nux questioned.
He wanted to have a little ‘talk’ with the leader.
“I do not know.” However, Royce shook his head.
“Didn’t you say you report directly to the leader?” Nux questioned with a frown.
“I do, however, I do not know where the leader lives, I just follow the orders he gives and then meets him at the set time and place.”
“When are you going to meet him again?” Nux questioned.
“I need to report what I found here to him, so the next meeting is after 2 hours. Of course, I will only report what you want me to.” Royce answered.
A satisfied smile appeared on Nux’s face as he nodded.
“I will go with you and see this Leader you are talking about. As for what you will report, just say that you saw nothing and Lady Allura was sleeping calmly.”
“You are going to go with me?”
“Yes, but don’t worry, I will hide myself,” Nux answered. Royce then shook his head and then nodded.
“Alright, leave the room now, don’t disturb us for the next 2 hours.”
Nux kicked him out, then, he turned towards Allura and smiled,
“We have 2 hours, Darling~”
He has been with Allura for 2 days now, so he knew she liked it when he called her more intimately.
A small smile appeared on Allura’s face and she nodded,
“Whatever are we going to do in these 2 hours?” Allura questioned jokingly.
“How about we play a game?” Nux questioned seductively.
“How about we fuck a stupid game and continue with a more, much more pleasurable step?” An alluring smile appeared on Allura’s charming face as she questioned back.
Nux did not need anything, he just picked Allura up and jumped onto the bed.
“Annhh~”
…
2 hours quickly passed by.
Right now, Nux was walking beside Royce with a smile on his face and for Royce, his face was stiff.
‘Didn’t he say he will hide!? Why is he following me!?’
That was the only question in his mind.
He was scared of what would happen when they meet the leader.
Although he knew his Master Nux was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator as well, his leader was someone who had affinities with 2 elements!
He was a lot stronger than a normal Grand Master Stage Cultivator.
‘Stop thinking about nonsense and continued walking,’
Suddenly, he heard Nux’s order in his head and Royce continued walking.
A few minutes later, they walked into a dark hall and Royce stopped.
‘Why did you stop?’ Nux questioned.
‘Master Nux, this is the meeting spot.’
‘What? You are going to meet the Leader of the Thousand Information Chamber here? Inside the Royal Palace?’
‘Yes, Master Nux, not only that, but I believe that the leader lives in the Royal Palace as well. Of course, this is just my assumption.’
‘The leader of such a big organization lives inside the Royal Palace. Right inside the core of the kingdom.
What kind of balls does one need to have to pull something like that?’
Nux was shocked; he couldn’t help but open his mouth in disbelief.
He then waited for a few minutes and soon, a figure covered in black mist appeared in front of them.
*Step* *Step* *Step*
The closer it walked, the paler Royce’s face got, he turned his head from Nux to the leader then back to Nux again and started panicking.
‘You aren’t going to hide, Master Nux!?’
In the end, he couldn’t control himself and questioned.
‘Don’t worry, he can’t see me.’
Nux answered and if proving his point, the leader muttered.
“Beta, what are you looking around for? And why is your face so pale?”
