Chapter 181: News (2/2)
”Well… The thing is… Someone attacked them at night, the entire building is in ruins, there are no corpses left, but a lot of blood-stained everywhere… all the treasures and resources they had are gone, and so… all of the slaves,” said the Sect Member.
”Eh? WHAT?! Who did that?!” asked the Sect Master, completely surprised by these events!
He had never expected these damned bandits to actually get what they deserved, seeing how malicious and well protected they were by the other Sect Families… To think that someone would just go and kill them all and even more, steal all of their resources and even slaves in a single night!
That was simply insane to think about!
”We don't know… We are starting investigations, but not many possess strong enough tracking Spells or Artifacts to find the culprits, they seem to have filled the place with ice, so any clue is buried below it, and any essence we can use to find the source of it might have been frozen and become useless,” sighed the sect member.
”I see… Well, it is useless to look for clues, stop wasting resources and manpower on any investigation,” said the Sect Master.
”What? But Sect Master… the other Elders…!”
”What about the other Elders? I am merely saving resources by not unwisely spending them on stupid things, tell them that. The Sect is mine, and I make the rules here, stop investigations and leave this on the past,” said the Sect Master.
”I-I see… Very well…”
The sect member walked outside of the room, as the Sect Master smiled maliciously.
”Hehe… I don't know who did this, but I owe him a nice meal. Having those bastards out of the picture will let me have greater control over the Sect's funds… Perhaps I wasn't able to do something myself, but if it was someone else… Then that's completely fine, right? Hahah…! What a good gift… Now, the next thing to do would be to abolish slavery, but that… might prove to be difficult, these bastards love their slave's way too much, if they take a hold of the economy of the Sect, I cannot do much. If I risk them going elsewhere, the sect will lose a large amount of manpower and resources… Hmm… It is a complicated thing,” thought the Sect Master.
Elder Ice Moon walked towards the window as he watched the large city outside, snowy and filled with ice giants. The large buildings, the paved streets, the carriages, everything… He had built everything slowly ever since he settled down a village near the Dungeons in this place.
”This might be the sign that there are some that want to become my allies. Perhaps there is some hope to overtake these Elders in the future… But everything must be done carefully… For now, it would be good to keep an eye on these new allies as well… I do wonder though, how they managed to move so many slaves in a single night?”
