In an elegant yet luxurious study, a dark green letter was reduced to ashes between Josh's slender fingers. He was sitting on a mahogany chair, holding a crystal goblet between his fingers. The amber wine in the goblet was swirling gently, and his usually gentle and refined face was as cold as ice.
"Alex, you really didn't die. But where could you be hiding now? Dragon Island? No, those stupid beasts want to kill you more than anyone else. Twilight Forest? That's not right either. Countless orcs died at your hands during the border war. The Wind Forest is also impossible. You are very confident and crazy, but to appear in The Wind Forest with a half-elf daughter is no different from committing suicide … "A low murmur sounded in the room, and the paper on the table rose and fell slightly.
"If he's not in the Roth Empire, then he's most likely in Chaos City, right? It's a city where all races coexist, so no matter what kind of people appear, they won't stand out. Alex may not be very smart, but he's very alert. He knows which places are dangerous and which are safe. However, it's not easy to find someone who's deliberately hiding in Chaos City. " Josh slowly raised the wine goblet in his hand, but just as it was about to reach his mouth, he suddenly stopped and smashed it onto the ground.
Amber-Colored wine and shards of translucent crystal scattered all over the ground. Josh stood up with a ferocious expression, and clenched his fists as he roared, "You better not let me find you, Alex. So many years have passed, and Irina still hasn't forgotten about you. In that case, I have no choice but to kill you and that little b * stard. I was too soft-hearted back then."
"Your Highness, are you alright?" The butler's nervous voice sounded from outside the door.
Josh's expression instantly returned to normal, and he calmly replied, "I'm fine. Ask Seuss to come over."
"Yes," the butler replied, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Josh turned around and pulled out a map from the top row of the bookshelf. He laid it flat on the table, and his brown eyes slowly scanned the map. His brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Highness, Seuss is here." Not long after, the butler's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Let him in," Josh said without even raising his head.
The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a tall and thin young man with short blonde hair wearing a black magician robe walked in. There was a red scythe embroidered on his chest.
This magic caster appeared to be in his thirties, and his complexion was sickly pale. There was a scar running from his glabella to his left eye, and his eyes were a rare light grey, which made him look a little like a dead fish. His entire body was enshrouded in a black magician robe, and gave off a sinister aura..
His black leather boots stepped on the crystal shards, creating a cracking sound, but his expression didn't change in the slightest. He looked at Josh with a feverish gaze before lowering his head in a respectful salute. "Seuss pays his respects to Your Highness."
Joshua shifted his gaze away from the map on the table and said softly, "I want you Asuras to find someone and kill that person."
"Your Highness, please give me your orders." Seuss lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Mag Alex," Josh replied calmly.
"Alex!" Seuss immediately raised his head and looked at Josh with shock and incredulity in his eyes. "Your Highness, didn't Alex die years ago? We've been searching for evidence to prove his death all these years, but there's nothing to prove that he's still alive. "
Joshua shook his head and looked at Seuss with a serious expression as he said, "No, he's still alive. Furthermore, someone has already proven that. Thus, you must find him before everyone else, kill him, and bring his head to me."
"If Alex is still alive, then I'll definitely kill him to avenge the humiliation I suffered all those years ago!" Seuss's expression immediately became sinister, and the scar on his glabella looked like a hideous centipede.
"Remember, no matter what kind of grudge you had between the two of you, kill him after you find him. If you fail, then bring your head to me," Josh said with a cold expression.
"Yes!" Seuss hurriedly lowered his head in a respectful manner. As the youngest 9th-tier magic caster in the empire and the leader of Asura, he still felt as if he were treading on thin ice when facing Josh.
Not only was he one of the successors to the throne, but it was also most likely because he dared to set up a trap to bring down Alex, who was at the peak of his powers, from the man who had once made him feel the fear of being dominated. He was the man who had once trampled on him, a prodigy who had once been regarded as the most promising magic caster in the Roth Empire.
Back then, both of them had reached the 9th-tier at the same time, and the so-called pinnacle battle had become his lifelong humiliation.
One sword. He had only used one sword strike.
And then, he had lost.
If it weren't for the unavoidable fear of death in the instant that the tip of the sword pierced through his glabella, he wouldn't even dare to believe that he couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Alex.
Ever since then, the son of the Magus Tower had fallen from the heavens and become a joke.
After that, Alex had stepped onto the path of power step by step. He had defeated 10th-tier magic casters and slain giant dragons. The speed at which he was progressing, and his powers were so powerful that no one in the younger generation could hope to catch up to him. Even a so-called prodigy like him could only despair.
As such, the Magus Tower lost a magic caster who never missed a single class, and the night of Rodu gained a new leader of Asura. The scythe of death silently reaped one life after another.
"Even though I know he's not dead, I can't be sure where he could be right now. However, the most likely place for him to be is perhaps this Chaos City." Josh pointed a finger, and the map on the desk slid toward Seuss. He said in a low voice, "Remember, this information has to be kept strictly confidential. Aside from the people of Asura, no one else is to leak this information."
Seuss put away the map on the desk, and respectfully said, "Yes, I'll send someone to Chaos City to gather information right away."
Josh was silent for a moment before instructing, "Also, when you kill him, kill everyone close to him as well, no matter who they are."
"Yes." A hint of surprise flashed through Seuss' eyes, but he didn't say anything.
"You can go now." Josh sat back down in his chair and closed his eyes.
Seuss lowered his head and took a couple of steps back before turning to leave. He slowly closed the door of the study.
"Meg Alex, as expected, many people won't be able to sleep well if you don't die. So, you should just go and die …" Josh's voice reverberated throughout the study.
