Chapter 408 - SCHEMING IN THE DARK (6) (1/2)
All of the while when all of this is happening, Azief finally heard the story from Loki. Loki did not do nothing after he returns from Belize and learn what happened since his departure.
He began investigating all over Pandemonium about this weird case. And the more he investigated the more he felt like this is not some normal kind of case.
He got the news from Sasha before but at that time he is still thinking about how to refine the thirteen energy so he had to delay in judging these matters.
But as Loki told him the story, he realized something from the way Loki talk and the way he is acting.
Azief then look curiously at Loki and then he snickered
'You don't believe none of them responsible right?' Azief ask.
He himself felt weird when he heard what happens. Mostly because he knew Athena and he knew the officials in his court.
'It is as if…someone is planning all this' Loki said, staring at Azief.
Azief nodded. He felt that feeling too.
He had sent Sasha to investigate whether this is a matter of factional strife but when Sasha reported to him that nothing indicates that the Athena faction and the Central Government faction have bad blood before, Azief mind began to think of another possibility.
Azief look at Loki and then said
'I think so too. I know Athena. While she would not hesitate to kill the enemy in the battlefield, she would not do that just because she is angry. It is just not her style'
If the officials hearing what Death Monarch said they would surely be shocked
Since the moment Azief uses his aura to summon all of his people into the Centre palace, he had never once think about punishing Athena.
he felt that this matter is not as simple as it seems.
He is about to leave and he had no time left.
He could not delay too long as that would only put more distance with him and others. Raymond is already preparing to enter to Divine Comprehension
While Azief could fight him even with his Disk Formation, there are certain powers only Divine Comprehension levelers could use.
He continued his reasoning
'And the content of their supposed reason for killing is just ridiculous. I let her have the West and while it is true that the Central Government was unfair in their distribution, if the Central Government explains that most of the resources was diverted back to the Research Department, even Athena would not be so insistent. There were so many things that is wrong in that story. Especially the part where all of Athena delegation all died'
He then looks at Loki, expecting him to already check the scene.
'I confirmed that when I returned. They truly all died. It is not some kind of illusion or some kind of transfiguration tricks. And they are Athena people.'
'I expected it….' He then asked
'Could it be one of your enemies?' Azief ask Loki.
Loki shakes his head and said
'Killing Athena people would damage me in no way whatsoever. If they capture or try to kill people like Trisha and her sister, now that would be different. No, I am pretty sure this is not one of my enemies'
Azief frowned.
He sighed like he expected it but he also didn't want to acknowledge it.
Loki look at Azief and Loki though that probably he is not the only one that have cracked this case that nearly tore apart Pandemonium and send this land into a civil war
Loki did entertain the thought that it was probably Yewa Hafar but then he saw no trace of him.
He even though that the pawn he had in Pandemonium schemed all this but as he investigates it become even more apparent that this is not his style at all.
