"Find the culprit. No matter who it is, I want him dead!" Andre's furious voice echoed in the royal study.
All the ministers trembled, and didn't dare to say anything.
His Majesty's anger was understandable. The case of the ministers from the Ministry of War was still being investigated, and the results had yet to come out. In the end, these ministers' families were wiped out, and it was in Rodu.
This was like a slap to the powerful Roth Empire's face.
Furthermore, this matter also made all the ministers fearful. They thought it was very safe in Rodu, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to wipe out the entire family of a high-ranking official in Rodu. This meant that they could be the next ones to die.
Andre calmed himself down slightly, and said to the ministers, "From now on, the empire will enter a first-level war preparation. Begin to transport resources and soldiers to the frontlines. We will be ready for war."
"Yes!"
All the ministers bowed in agreement.
"Dismissed." Andre stood up and left. The ministers bowed to send him off.
"Have you found out who did it?" Andre asked in a low voice as he went up the Star Picking Deck.
"Your Majesty, from the traces left behind at the scene, it should be done by orcs. To be able to do this, it should be at least a 10th-tier orc. However, according to the investigation, the 10th-tier orcs were all in the Twilight Forest that day, so these traces could be faked." A shadow gradually materialized behind him, and a person wrapped in a black robe bowed slightly as he answered.
"Auster, this son of a b * tch, is indeed puffing himself up at his own cost. Given his guts, how would he dare to provoke me at such a time?" Andre sneered.
The man in black remained silent, and didn't reply.
"Continue to investigate. I want to see who dares to do such a thing in my Rodu," Andre ordered.
"Yes," the man in black replied. His body gradually turned illusory, and then completely disappeared into the night.
…
After handing over half of his private stash, Meg was finally spared from death.
These two are really carved from the same mold. Meg looked at Irina, who was happily counting that mountain of gold, with a helpless expression.
However, today's incident also reminded Meg that he couldn't casually talk about sparring with a woman he didn't know. Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain if she came looking for a sparring session in the middle of the night.
"Are you going out tonight?" Irina suddenly looked up at Meg.
Meg nodded. "Yes, I've made an appointment with someone. I plan to visit the homes of the military officials whose families were massacred tonight to confirm if it was Josh who did it."
"Then I'll go with you. I'm more sensitive to the black fog." Irina waved her hand and collected all the gold, silver, and jewels on the ground.
"Okay, it'll be easier to find him with you around." Meg flattered him.
"Of course." The corners of Irina's mouth curled up slightly. Obviously, she enjoyed it very much.
Soon, there was another knock on the door.
Meg was surprised at first, wondering if he had invited other women to spar with him today.
However, nine short knocks and one long knocks quickly calmed him down.
He opened the door, and sure enough, Melander and Noah were standing outside, looking travel-worn.
Both of them were stunned when they saw Meg who opened the door. Immediately, they became alert.
"It's me. Come in." Meg had changed his face with the Transformational Mask, so it was normal that the two of them couldn't recognize him.
Hearing Meg's voice, the two of them came to a realization and went into the restaurant.
The warm tavern made both of them relax a little.
Noah's gaze quickly noticed Irina standing beside the counter. His eyes were filled with surprise, but he quickly retracted his gaze politely and turned to look at Meg with a sad face. "Mr. Mak, is there anything to eat? I've been flying in the mountains on the steel-back eagle for two days. I'm starving. "
Meg looked at the two of them. In such weather, flying in the mountains on an unprotected steel-back eagle for two days was indeed tiring.
"You can wash your hands and face over there. I'll make you something to eat." Meg pointed at the toilet at the side and walked towards the kitchen.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Noah greeted Irina politely. Although it was rare to see such an elegant and beautiful woman, he could feel how terrifying she was.
It was a feeling he only had when facing his grandfather. This meant that this beautiful woman was already a 10th-tier powerhouse. Killing him was no different from stepping on an ant.
As for Mr. Mak's strength, his grandfather didn't have the confidence to defeat him.
The ingredients were still used freely, but Meg didn't plan to sell any dishes from Mamy's in the tavern.
After a while, Meg made a plate of Yangzhou fried rice for each of them. It was simple and fast.
"Thank you, Mr. Mak. I'll help myself." Noah picked up the spoon and devoured the Yangzhou fried rice. He couldn't stop himself from immersing himself in the delicious taste of the Yangzhou fried rice.
"Isn't this … too delicious?!" After licking the plate, Noah exclaimed in admiration. He felt warm all over and the exhaustion of the past two days had been swept away.
"I can't figure it out … I can't figure it out …" Melander also put down the spoon with a puzzled expression.
"Grandpa, what can't you figure out?" Noah asked curiously.
Meg and Irina also looked at him with puzzlement.
Melander was also puzzled. "How can the food made by a powerhouse be so delicious?"
Meg was quite satisfied with this kind of flattery. If it weren't for the fact that he had an official event to attend tonight, he might have cooked a few more dishes for him and sat down to have a drink or two.
"Let's get down to business now that you're done eating. Did you find anything on your way up north?" Meg asked the two of them.
"We found some scattered devilish aura, but it's hard to tell where it is." Melander shook his head and looked at Meg. "You asked us to come to Rodu. What did you find?"
Meg said, "There were a few massacres in Rodu last night. The victims were the family members of the ministers of the Ministry of War who were involved in the war against the orcs. Their methods were cruel, and they all set their houses on fire in the end. I suspect that Josh has something to do with this. He might have already returned to Rodu."
"Let's go and take a look at the scene." Melander stood up with a grave expression.
Meg wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Melander and Noah, and said, "This is Rodu. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that 10th-tier beings are everywhere, but it's not like the wilderness. You have to be careful. It'll be troublesome if you're targeted."
"When it comes to concealing our whereabouts and reducing our presence, I'm afraid there's no other race in this world that can compare to us ghosts." Melander's smile was filled with confidence and composure.
"Then let's go. We'll take a look at the scene." Meg nodded.
In the night, the group disappeared from Romo Street in the blink of an eye.
"The turtle shell stone is very active. It has indeed appeared in Chaos City recently." Melander looked at the specks of golden light on the turtle shell stone with a grave expression.
