Chapter 283: Meetings in the Distant lands (1/2)

On the middle-eastern side of the planet. An archipelago just like thunder-god temple islands.

On the largest island of the archipelago, there is a majestic palace inside which there is a meeting being held. The scene greatly resembled a royal court where the emperor sits on high ground and the ministers below him.

A middle-aged looking man is sitting in the seat of the head which is on the high ground, while several other people who care about the same age as he occupied the seats of ministers.

They are discussing something.

There are five images that are hungover five stands and four of them are images of Jack, Philip, Watt, and Hawk.

The fifth image is Sam's but it didn't really show much of his features. One might not even recognize it if they don't observe it extremely keenly.

There is a subordinate standing in the middle of the court, who happened to be the same person who gave the picture to the young man before.

After much talk and discussions, the head of the court declared.

”We will send a team of three, who are in Initial stages of the Grand realm. We must get our hands on the Shadow sword and there is a high chance that the Astral paintbrush also might be in his possession. So, we will try our best to get that in our hands.

As per the information, the person who possesses the sword has a Level-6 beast as his guardian, so the team we send shall not confront him directly. His companions shall be our targets and we will hold them hostage to get what we want.

But before that, we shall extend an offer for them to join. They are talented and they can be a part of us.

Send, Tran, Sylvia, and Rid. Ask them to finish the assignment as fast as they can. There are only a year and a half for our Ten-year meeting. They shall use this as a practice mission.”

At this moment, deep inside the palace, the young man who burned Sam's picture sat on a rocking chair and murmured in a low voice.

”Practice mission, you say? We shall see who practices with who.”

Meanwhile, in the same archipelago on an inhabited island which was densely filled with woods, a young man who is wearing a dark cloak with a Chain Sickle in his hands sat beside a fire on the beach with a huge shark skewered over the fire.

He too had the same black eyes and Black hair as the young man on the rocking chair.

At this moment, a hawk type beast flew over to him and delivered a scroll.

He opened the scroll and saw the details and turned over towards the woods as he yelled at the top of his lungs.

”Tran, Sylvia, Rid. Report immediately.”

As soon as his words there is a huge movement in the forest and within a minute three beasts started running towards the beach.

One of them is an Elephant type beast, another one is a Tiger and the last one is like a Wolf.

The three beasts carried three people on their backs.

Two men and a woman. All of them looked like they are in their early twenties.

Then came down from their beasts and gave a slight bow to the person who is roasting the large fish. The young man in the cloak didn't say anything and just threw the scroll to them.

”One month. Deal with this.”

The young lady took the scroll and bowed again before leaving with the two other men on their beasts.

Sam's type of meetings and incidents took place in many other places and in the southeastern area of the world, there is another archipelago where the meeting was still going on.

At this moment, a man came into the court while limping. His clothes were tattered and his body was completely drenched in blood. One of his arms was gone and the wound didn't even completely stop bleeding.

He had a small orb within his another hand which was mostly still intact. All the people inside the court stopped talking and looked at this approaching man with shock.

Even the head of the court is having the same feeling. He almost couldn't recognize the person, but he did in the end.

”What happened? Captain? Why are you in such a condition?”

The head of the court asked anxiously.

”A—A – Horde. We were caught in a beast horde.” The man said in an extremely low voice which doesn't have any strength at all.

”W- We got that orb though.” He extended his still intact hand.

At this moment, the door was swung open as she entered the court without regard to anyone. She is rather tall for a girl. She has a near-perfect body that would make any man take an extra-long meaningful glance.

The long Black silky hair that flowed down like a waterfall only made things more difficult to whoever was observing her.

She has blue eyes that looked like icy crystal lakes whose depths are unfathomable but desired to be completely explored.

Her sharp but small nose and the ruby lips, she is a woman any man desired.

She walked to the middle of the room gracefully as her hips swayed side to side.

The injured man is not in a state to notice her presence and continued.

”Our team was completely wiped out in the beast horde as we went to retrieve this orb. The opponents knew there is a no way that they could escape, so they…”

The young woman who came inside just came to him and grabbed the orb from his hands. She examined the orb and frowned when she found a small dent on it.

The injured man paused for a bit and said.

”The whole team died to save this one orb. I hope Sir will take care of their families.”

”Why is there a dent?” An extremely melodious voice came from the side of the injured man.

The young lady has an extremely deep frown as she asked him coldly.
