“Beta, what are you looking around for? And why is your face so pale?”
The leader of the Thousand Information Chamber questioned in a hoarse voice.
He was still covered with a veil of Black Mist, therefore, his face wasn’t visible, however, Royce could tell from his tone that he had a frown on his face.
‘He can’t see him!?’
Royce thought inwardly and his eyes widened in shock.
Master Nux was standing just in front of the leader! Why can’t he see him!?
‘Is this another one of his weird abilities?’
Royce thought inwardly, however, before he could think too much, the leader questioned again.
“Beta? Are you okay? Why aren’t you answering my question? Was what you found too shocking for you?”
“O-Oh, I-it’s nothing like that, Leader, I was just spacing out… Sorry about that… As for what I found, to be honest, everything was normal, I think…”
Royce then started answering how normal everything was and all that.
As for Nux, he glanced at the Leader of the Thousand Information Chamber as his golden eyes shined brightly.

…
Information about the man named Kelton Ackerg appeared in front of Nux’s eyes and soon, he found something interesting.
‘A Vice Leader huh…’
His [Eye Of Discerning] was as helpful as always. It was very hard for one to hide secrets from him.
And this Kelton Ackerg guy failed to do so as well.
However, Nux had to admit, Kelton’s control over that black mist was much better than Royce’s.
Which is understandable, although he was not a leader, he was still a vice leader of an organization like Thousand Information Chamber.
‘Who is the leader then? Is he an Expert Stage Cultivator?’ Nux started thinking and soon, his curiosity took over and he decided.
He is going to follow this Kelton guy.
Nux then waited patiently, Kelton and Royce talked for 15 more minutes, and finally,
“Alright, you can leave now,” Kelton ordered.
“Yes Leader,” Royce bowed and then walked away.
Nux had already told her he would stay here, Royce was free.
For now.
After Royce walked away, a frown appeared on Kelton’s face and he started thinking, then, he turned around as well and walked into the darkness.
If it wasn’t for his [Sense], Nux would have had a hard time following him.
However, since he did have [Sense], the black mist covering Kelton didn’t help him hide at all.
Nux then followed Kelton for 10 minutes and then, he stopped in front of a room and knocked.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
“Enter,” an emotionless voice was heard.
Kelton then entered the room and bowed.
“Lady Amaya,”
Nux, who entered the room behind him couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw a woman sitting inside a lavish room.
The woman had long dark black hair, juicy red lips, a thin nose and a peerless face.
Nux won’t say that out loud, but she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met.
A perfect face, a perfect body, it was as if this woman was born to define the word perfect.
Her breasts weren’t large, but they weren’t small either, her body wasn’t curvy, it was more lean however, combining it with her divine face, she was…
Outright gorgeous.
“What have you found out?” The woman named Amaya questioned.
“The Spy said that he hasn’t found anything, however, I have an inkling that he is lying,” Kelton answered.
“Hmm? What do you mean? Why would he lie?” Amaya frowned.
“That, I do not know. However, I am very certain that he was lying. His face was paler than usual, his eyes were wandering around as if he was looking for something and the way his eyes were blinking, he looked afraid of something as well.”
Hearing this, Amaya frowned even more.
She trusted Kelton a lot, however, she still couldn’t believe him.
All the Spies were trained and have gone through different torture; very few things can actually scare them.
Also, the spies are extremely loyal, why would they lie? She couldn’t understand.
“Why is he lying though?” Amaya questioned.
“I do not know.” Kelton shook his head.
He does not have any answer to that question.
Beta has worked under him for a long time now, he knew how loyal he is, if it was before, he would have never imagined Beta lying to him, however, today, the signs were just too obvious.
‘What can possibly make him betray us? Money? Torture?
What is it?’ Kelton started thinking however, no matter how hard he thought, nothing came to his mind.
“Heh.”
Suddenly, he heard a small chuckle. He raised his head and saw that there was a smile on Amaya’s face.
“I knew something was wrong with that Allura,” Amaya muttered.
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Kelton questioned.
“Think about it, Kelton.
With the whole Edda incident, where they say Edda and Marquee teamed up to catch a spy. The king’s minister and the security department must have overlooked this detail, however, it didn’t escape my eyes.”
“What are you talking about?”
“They say Edda bullied Edrea and forced her to do more work, right?”
“Yes,”
“And how did Edda do it? She gave all her work to Edrea. But what was she doing while Edrea did her part of the work?”
“Hmm?”
“She walked into Allura’s room and ‘talked’ with her. Now from what I know, Edda and Allura weren’t that close before.
Of course, this is not the first time Allura has taken interest in some ‘maids’, however, this ‘interest’ lasted a lot longer than normal.
Normally, Allura would never talk to someone for more than 2 days, however, she and Edda talked with each other for 7 days, this is not normal at all.
And then suddenly, Edda disappeared.”
As she talked, Kelton started thinking as well.
There was something wrong here indeed.
Nux, who heard everything couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
What the hell…
Why is someone suspecting Allura…
Where in the hell did her name come from?
And why does what she say sound so logical?
Who the hell is this woman?
