Chapter 49 - The Don and Conspiracy of High Elves 6 (2/2)

”But brother. My point was, he might be secretly destroying us from behind. Remember, even a rat can kill a lion with its cunning trait,” Elder Wamo defended. ”But still, a lion is a giant host and the rat is just a tiny rat. Even he has money and power behind his back, there's no way for him to get involved. To support these words, here is the paper. Here, take a look,” Elder Damaso slid over the doc.u.ments on the table. The two elders took a peek and read it without picking it up. Both of them exchanged glances and nodded. ”I told you before. He won't bother. Grand lord already prophesized he's apathetic to his people. This is why you don't have to worry,” Elder Damaso assured.

Elder Kilo rubbed his beard and his eyes turned blank after he sensed a powerful aura coming from the east.

”What's wrong, Kilo?” asked Elder Wamo. ”I don't know if I mistakenly feel it wrong. Call it a joke, but I think... I think I sensed the power of the Great spirits,” he shuddered.

Both of the older elders gasped and shivered in fear.

”T, t, the Great spirits? Are you f.u.c.kin' serious right now?” Elder Damaso fretted, lips retracted. ”I, I know you're worried brother, but I'm telling the truth,” Elder Kilo confirmed.

”Y, you're jokin' right?” Elder Wamo's eyes trembled. ”Unfortunately, I'm not. Please calm down, gentlemen. Thankfully, the two powerful auras coming from nowhere have already disappeared. I don't think they are coming to disturb us at all,” Elder Kilo assured, trying to ease their minds.

”R, right, we don't even dare to provoke their turf. I, I think the grand lord send his familiars to act as a spectator in the upcoming event. Thus, we don't need to fear their existence anymore. After all, we are allies of the true reincarnation of the Great Emperor,” Elder Damaso placed a hand on his c.h.e.s.t and heaved a sigh of relief. ”Y, y, yes, agreed,” the two younger elders nodded in unison.

”For now, we need to cause a mutiny within the village. Then, once the unrest started we will sneak some of our troops inside and send them in to capture the important key points of this territory. Second, we need to convince the chief that the menace has returned and shown these doc.u.ments as a shred of evidence. Pieces of evidence linked to the cases for the past five years. That he, Hermes Archnemesis, was the person who causes all of the kidnappings. Then, we will wait for him to send some village guards to arrest the man. Easy squeezy,” Elder Damaso explained briefly.

The other two elders clapped their hands.

”But brother, there is something you missed out. You forgot the rival clan of the Archnemesis next to us,” Elder Wamo reminded, pointing his index at the east. ”No need to worry about them. The Verdugo clan is nothing but a mere pawn for this plan. The villagers and the people of that clan will become the mere ingredients for the upcoming event,” Elder Damaso assured.

”Humans are humans. They are dumb, weak-minded, and stupid creatures. Ignorant and lack of proper discipline are one of the worse traits I cannot argue with. My dear brothers, I cannot wait to see the rebirth of our Supreme being. He is the divine one who will punish these heretics,” Elder Kilo simpered. ”Indeed, they are fragile, pessimistic, and above all, mere mortal beings unlike us. I wonder why they are praying to a false God who they believed created them after his image. What a biased information,” Elder Wamo jeered, holding his tummy.

”Brothers, I would like to inform you that I lost contact with Arak. I tried to call him through the orb, but to no avail. I still don't receive any message from our little brother,” said Elder Damaso with a sullen face.

'What happened to that bis.e.x.u.a.l boy?' asked Elder Kilo inside his mind.

'That man is seriously a troublesome fellow,' Elder Wamo heaved a disappointing sigh.

”Do you want us to meet him at the cave?” Elder Kilo inquired. ”Yes, please. I'm worried about him lately,” Elder Damaso stood up from his chair and moved closer near the window.

”Brother, I will give my forces to Kilo, so he won't go alone,” Elder Wamo assured. ”Thanks, we need to be careful right now. I don't know what happened to him, but make sure to return home immediately after you're sudden visit to his place,” replied Elder Damaso, smiling.

”You heard the man. I will give you fifteen men under you. Make sure to return home safely, Kilo,” Elder Wamo patted his shoulder once. ”Thank you very much, brother,” Elder Kilo pressed a hand on his c.h.e.s.t and bowed down appreciatively.

”Fellow elders of this place, never forget our objective. Family first before everyone else. Got it?” Elder Damaso reminded. ”Yes, brother,” the two younger elders lowered their heads once respectfully.

”Go now. Make haste. We still have time before the plan commences,” Elder Damaso extended his hands, like a general on the battlefield. ”Yes, brother!” the two Elders exited the place afterward.

Elder Damaso turned around and looked at the outside through the window. He saw a lot of kids playing on the street.

'Hermes Archnemesis, you won't see the sunrise tomorrow,' Elder Damaso declared, gravely.

”Grand lord stated that he will become an obstacle to his plan, so he wanted us to get rid of him as quickly as possible. I cannot wait to see his reaction after he experiences the harsh reality of life. Tormented by his own people, his own race who truly believed he's the culprit all along. Man, what an unfortunate homo sapien,” Elder Damaso closed his eyes and laughed out loud.

Meanwhile, there was a sudden movement across the borders of the fifth district. A high pitch of the siren alerted all the residents within the place. Then, they rushed to the central place where the members of the organization should go.

All of them wore black suit uniforms with a logo of the Verdugo clan, a red skull mask covered with scarlet blood as a background. Two small black axes crossed each other above the mask.

Suddenly, everyone stood properly after they recognized the appearance of their superior. Stomach in and c.h.e.s.t out.

A close-cropped golden hair man appeared on the small stage. His eyes resembled the eyes of a hawk, ready to kill his prey when he's been ordered to. His blue suit symbolized his authority as a capo outshone the others. On his left c.h.e.s.t, a logo of the Verdugo clan pinned.

”Good evening, gentlemen,” said Patioche Woale, the fifth Caporegime of the Verdugo clan. He's the leading ringleader of the occupied territory, the fifth district.

His silver watch on his wrist quickly tensed the people when he lifted his hand up.

”Men, don't worry. I'm not here to punish the fools who tried to violate the divine law of our mistress. I've come here to inform you all that I received an urgent notice from our beloved Underboss, Matheus Dante,” he added, smiling.

All of the low-ranking members gasped after they heard his name.

”Chill out and relax. Men, rejoice. The Consigliere of the Archnemesis was captured by one of the elites. Wonderful, right? That means bandit time is over. The unification of the East and West will come to fruition. Raise your banners, start the engines of our vehicles. This time, we're going to war!”

The short speech of the caporegime raised the morale of the members.

”For the glory of the Verdugo clan. Long live, Verdugo clan. All hail, Lady Veronica!” Patioche raised his arm and the people followed.

”All hail, Lady Veronica! All hail, Lady Veronica! All hail, Lady Veronica,” the members cheered, shouting the name of their supreme leader with delight.
