What came out of the blue was a very artificial voice that sounded like it was putting on a show.
Hearing this voice, Rozen turned his head and looked at the source of the voice.
Not only Rozen, but the rest of the people present also turned their heads one after another and saw a person slowly walking over.
It was a thin man with a curled beard, a gloomy complexion, and a pair of thin eyes that could not be seen through his emotions. He reminded people of a cunning fox.
The thin man applauded as he looked at the scene of utter chaos and the Hun Ghouls lying in pools of blood one after another. It was as if he had opened his eyes to a new world.
"I didn't expect that they would be taken care of so easily. I really don't know if I, who supplied them with weapons, should be happy or not."
The thin man said so, but there was no frustration in his voice at all. There was only a very artificial playfulness in it.
However, upon seeing this man, Tiana, who was tightly bound by the white chains, widened her eyes. Then, she cried out in rage, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"Bartasaru Zaharias!"
That was the name Tiana uttered.
It wasn't that Rozen had never heard of this name.
It wasn't just Rozen. Anyone who paid attention to the news would have more or less heard of this person's name.
"What a familiar name."
Gu Cheng muttered.
Yusha seemed to recall something and cried out in surprise.
"Isn't that the Speaker of Nilepsy's Provisional Autonomous Government?"
That's right.
The thin man named Zaharias was the Speaker of Nilepsy's Provisional Autonomous Government and the leader of the Hun Ghouls.
Due to the Demons' rejection of the Hun Ghouls, they originally had no territory and lived in the form of tribes all over the world. Moreover, the tribes of the Hun Ghouls were opposed to each other for a long time and were not united internally. That was why they needed to use violence to plunder the resources of other countries, living like bandits and robbers.
It was Zaharias who united the Hun Ghouls and won the war against the Karjana territory, ultimately obtaining the territory and establishing the Hun Ghouls territory called Nilepsy.
He wasn't a Hun Gui, nor was he a politician. Instead, he was a Death Merchant who sold firearms.
In other words, Zaharias was an arms dealer.
Needless to say, the firearms he was selling were not limited to ordinary firearms and ammunition. He was also selling magical equipment with extraordinary power.
One of the main reasons why the Hun Ghouls were able to emerge victorious in the battle against Karjana was because Zaharias had provided them with powerful magical equipment, which allowed the Hun Ghouls to embed into their bodies to improve their overall strength.
If it weren't for Zaharias, the Hun Ghost Tribe, which could only rely on brute force to plunder resources, would not have had so many magical equipment, let alone the ability to fight against the orthodox vampires.
Therefore, even if the fate of the Hun Ghouls was changed because of Zaharias, it would not be a problem at all.
In view of that, the Hun Ghouls were convinced that the weapons Zaharias provided were valuable, so they obeyed his orders and worshipped him as the leader of the Hun Ghouls. The Hun Ghouls also relied on Zaharias' support to gain enough combat power to fight against the Karjana territory, and finally occupied the territory of Earl Karjana, obtaining the territory they longed for.
In that case, it was no wonder that Tiana was behaving like that.
If it weren't for Zaharias, her father wouldn't have died, her family wouldn't have declined, her territory wouldn't have been lost, and she wouldn't have fallen into a situation where she was being hunted down.
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Zaharias was the real enemy who killed Tiana's father, relatives, and even the entire family.
The Karjana sisters wanted to awaken No.12 through the "key" and become the Chosen One. One of the purposes of participating in the banquet was to take revenge on Zaharias.
At the same time, the initiator of the Flaming Feast was also Zaharias.
In summary, the arms dealer in front of them was the source of all the turmoil.
"That's him!?"
Understanding that, Gu Cheng almost subconsciously shielded Yusha behind him.
On the contrary, Rozen didn't pay any attention to Zaharias's appearance. Instead, he cast his gaze behind him.
He saw that behind Zaharias, there were two petite figures.
They were only as tall as Yusha. Unlike the abnormally tall and robust Hun Ghouls just now, they were very petite in appearance.
The two petite figures were the same as the Hun Ghouls. They were covered in cloaks, but they didn't wear masks. Their heads were lowered, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
Judging from the outline of their bodies, the two figures seemed to be two young girls.
However, it was such two petite girls, for some reason, that gave Rozen a sense of danger.
It wasn't only Rozen himself who felt that way. Even the Jade Rabbit Ring on his left hand kept sending a faint warning to Rozen after the two girls appeared, making Rozen realize that the two girls were not ordinary.
"It can't be …"
Rozen thought of a certain possibility, and his eyes became solemn.
"Zaharias!" Vertiana said with extreme hatred, "How dare you appear in front of me!?"
Tiana let out an extremely furious yell as she struggled with all her might once again.
If it weren't for the Lock of Discipline restraining Vertiana, that ill-tempered young lady would have overestimated herself and rushed forward, wouldn't she?
That made Zaharias observe with great interest.
However, it wasn't Vertiana that piqued his interest.
The arms dealer didn't even have Vertiana in his eyes. Instead, he stared intently at the white chain on Vertiana's body, showing unusual interest.
"Is that the Lock of Discipline forged by the legendary gods?"
In the eyes of arms dealers, there were only powerful weapons, and nothing else entered their eyes.
"What's wrong?" Rozen motioned for Gu Cheng to withdraw with Yusha while he said intentionally or unintentionally, "Could it be that Mr. Chairman wants to imitate your Hun Gui troops and use violence to plunder what you want?"
"No, no, no, how could that be?" Zaharias shook his head exaggeratedly and said with a fake smile, "I'm a businessman. If I want something, I naturally want to trade. How could I use violence?"
"Is that so?" Rozen immediately said sarcastically, "But your Hun Gui troops seem to have used violence to attack me, right?"
Hearing that, Zaharias's smile didn't diminish.
"Then I'm really sorry. I'm just here to retrieve the property that was taken away by thieves. I didn't mean to offend you. If I caused any damage to you, I'm willing to compensate. Please forgive me."
The arms dealer actually said something like that.
