The host of the gathering was Marquis Henry, a veteran Transcendent.
In a gathering of Transcendents, sometimes a few words could decide a major event. But most of the time, it was just a meaningless chat. Among Transcendents, not every family had a harmonious relationship.
"Your granddaughter has also reached the age to talk about marriage. How about it? Do you want to consider my second son? He has the strength of a peak Awakening Order."
"Get lost. Your second son is almost a hundred years old. Can't you have some self-awareness?"
"Two days ago, my son came to visit, but the door was shut in his face. Why? Have you closed your doors recently? So is Marquis Turner. "
"Not just that. Marquis Bolton's Mansion, Marquis Bell's Mansion, and Marquis Shelley's Mansion have all closed their doors recently. I thought you wouldn't receive an invitation letter for this gathering. Is there some unspeakable secret?"
"How is Marquis Shelley? Isn't he the most enthusiastic person at these gatherings before? "
The ordinary transcendent who was questioned was a little hesitant.
His position in the manor wasn't high to begin with. Now that most of the people around him were experienced Transcendents, the aura that they emitted unintentionally made this Transcendent of Marquis Shelley's Residence feel a chill in his heart, as though he was a normal person surrounded by a pack of wolves.
"Lord … Lord Marquis has been in seclusion recently."
"That's not right. A few days ago, he invited me for a drink, but I didn't go. Besides, is seclusion more important than a gathering?"
"My … Lord Marquis's seclusion this time is rather important. It's not, it's not good to disturb him."
Transcendents chatted in groups of two or three.
At this moment, Marquis Henry, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly said, "I don't think Marquis Shelley can make it."
"What, what did you say?" The ordinary Transcendent's heart skipped a beat.
"It should be the same for Marquis Bell and Marquis Pei Qi."
He glanced around and said in a low voice, "I think it's better to be honest. I believe that it's not just a few people who have had such an experience."
As his voice fell,
Some were expressionless, some had slight changes in their expressions, and some were looking left and right …
As a noble, the most important things were the history and honor of the clan.
No one was willing to talk about the fact that an unknown enemy had barged into their mansion, and it was as if they had entered an uninhabited area.
Other than face, they were more worried that others would see through the weakness of their clan.
They were all secretly observing the others.
After a pause, Marquis Henry spoke again, "There aren't many people invited to this gathering. Since you're not willing to reveal it, let me speak first.
That's right, just yesterday, two people barged into my residence. They were dressed in black robes and their strength was terrifying. Moreover, they couldn't match up to any of the known Transcendents in the capital!
That's all I have to say. If you're willing to be open and honest, then we can continue our discussion. If not, you may leave. However, I'm very confident in certain aspects in inviting you all here. "
The Transcendents looked at each other in dismay.
After a short period of observation, many people became even more certain of their suspicions.
Perhaps, his family was not the only one who had suffered. The others present were likely to be his brothers who had met with misfortune.
It would be a joke to say that he did not hate the mysterious man who emptied his treasury.
After a few minutes of silence,
Marquis Bolton was the first to speak. "That's right. Five days ago, I encountered the same situation. Although we fought with those two mysterious people for a long time, we couldn't defeat them in the end. Many things were stolen."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other Transcendents finally relaxed and spoke one after another.
"Us too. Just the day before yesterday, we were attacked by the mysterious men. Those two people were really strong. Although we outnumbered them, we still lost a lot because we were one step behind."
"Sigh, we had the protection of the formation. Unfortunately, those two were too slippery. They didn't fight us head-on. After looting one of our treasury, they escaped without a trace …"
"We also encountered the mysterious men. We used all our strength and finally injured one of them. Unfortunately, they snuck into our residence and stole some treasures. We couldn't stop them …"
"…"
"Eh? Are you all that strong? "
Some honest Transcendents looked at the people around them in a daze.
Wasn't everyone's strength about the same? Their clan leader was defeated by the black-robed man in three moves. How, how could the other clans be evenly matched with the black-robed man and even injure such a strong enemy?
Was it because they had been at ease for too long that they had become weak?
Marquis Bolton was expressionless but he sneered in his heart.
Hehe.
Each and every one of them was bragging to the heavens!
Why didn't they say that they defeated the black-robed man!
And injured the black-robed man? He looked at the ordinary Transcendent who spoke. Their clan leader had probably already been killed.
"Cough, cough!"
Marquis Henry interrupted the others. "The purpose of gathering everyone here is to understand the strength of the mysterious men so that we can prepare countermeasures. Therefore, I hope that everyone can share the information truthfully. Anyone who exaggerates …"
His eyes were cold and a strong aura was emitted.
The three ordinary Transcendents shrunk their necks. The other Transcendents who were bragging also shut their mouths.
It was not good to offend Marquis Henry, especially when the clan's strength was damaged.
There was no harm in telling the truth. After all, he would not be the only one who would be embarrassed.
"We met two black-robed men. One was tall and the other was short. At that time, only the tall one attacked. He was an expert in swordsmanship and his Sword Qi was extremely sharp. In a normal battle, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to last more than three moves," a senior Transcendent said.
In fact, he was heavily injured in one move. However, even if he wanted to tell the truth, he had to make it sound better. He was afraid that the others would find something fishy. Without pausing, he continued, "After that, we activated the formation and our strength increased greatly. We even borrowed the power of the formation's domain to suppress the other party. But guess what?"
"The black-robed man who wielded two swords also released his domain, right?" Another senior Transcendent said, "After our aura increased, we were clearly stronger than the mysterious man. However, we were still directly suppressed by the other party's domain of swords."
In the gathering of ten people, three of the clans met the combination of Kong and Oguri.
Those who attacked were basically all Kong. They used it to sharpen their swordsmanship.
However, the other Transcendents were a little confused when they heard this.
"Wait, aren't the two black-robed men about the same height and weight? Aren't they using firearms? "
"That can't be right. The two black-robed men are obviously women. Don't tell me that you can't even differentiate between men and women?"
"From their aura, the black-robed men are obviously senior Transcendents, right? How could they be so much stronger than us? They can't be awakened, right?! "
"Not only are they strong, but their entire bodies are Transcendent Divine Weapons! Combat suits, weapons, black robes, I suspect that even the sunglasses and masks are Divine Weapons. Anyway, no matter how intense the battle was, I didn't see their masks being destroyed. "
After sharing the information, even the organizer of the gathering, Marquis Henry, who thought that he had the most information, was extremely surprised.
He had thought that two mysterious experts would be more than enough to deal with the sudden appearance of two.
In the end, there were six of them!
Among them, there were two who had not fought much!
Perhaps.
There were more black-robed men. They just hadn't met them yet!
"Where did they come from? What is their purpose!"
"We must find out the identity of the mysterious people. I don't want to be on tenterhooks anymore!"
"I'm guessing that they are probably not from the Royal City. That's why they suddenly appeared!"
"Impossible. I'm afraid that the outside world is only left with those monsters. Moreover, other than our Royal City, where else can produce such experts?!"
"I've heard of a scandal about the royal family. It seems that back then, some of the royal family members split and left the Royal City … You can't talk about this."
"No matter what, we have to think of a way to deal with these mysterious people. We can't let them break into our mansion!"
In the heated discussion, they also came up with some feasible methods.
Marquis Henry suggested, "I think we should give each mysterious person a code name to make it easier for us to analyze and study this mysterious organization. We can't always call everyone a mysterious person."
Finally.
Shay, who often appeared with a cigarette in his mouth, was replaced with "Smoker."
Kong, who had the Sword Domain, was replaced with "Swordsman."
Fanny, who wore a wolf mask, was replaced with "Wolf Girl."
Lorraine's code name was "Gunner."
Gray Blade's code name was "Shadow."
Bamboo Rat Oguri, who did not fight much, was nicknamed "Midget" in the North District because of her short stature.
Moreover, because the mysterious people all appeared in black robes, after a unanimous vote, Marquis Henry named this group of mysterious people as …
"Black Robe Organization"!
