Kat Lady didn't try to hide anything from Kieran's question. After changing her position on the sofa, she spoke frankly.
"Yes, it's a secret meow!
They worship Mordin a lot!
Meow even suspects the core of Broken Fire Council is worshipping Mordin! "
"Mordin?"
Kieran squinted his eyes and shone brightly.
From the moment he first arrived in this dungeon world, the name Mordin had entered his sight, and after that, it was even more prominent.
After the appearance of Io Mirror Shard, Mordin had occupied a special place in Kieran's heart.
After all, if Mordin had a shard of Io Mirror, she might have more.
However, the fact that Mordin was related to Broken Fire Council still surprised Kieran.
One needed to know, based on his contact with Broken Fire Council, it should be an organization formed by demon blood descendants and mixed-bloods.
What about Mordin?
Although most of the sculptures that Kieran came in contact with had the demon's power hidden in them, the hidden power was more like a seal, especially [Hell Breath], the last sculpture, which directly expressed the meaning of slaying the demon.
If such a great sculptor was hated by the demon to the bone, Kieran wouldn't be surprised at all, but instead, she was worshipped by the demon?
It was shocking to Kieran.
What was the secret behind all this?
Kieran pondered.
Kat Lady, who was curled up on the sofa, could guess Kieran's surprise.
"Were you shocked?"
"When I first found out about this secret, I was also shocked, meow!"
Mordin must have a big secret on her, meow!
Meow really wants to know what that secret is! "
Kat Lady was as curious as a real kitten.
When Mordin was mentioned, Kat Lady couldn't help but scratch the back of the sofa.
"What else do you know about Broken Fire Council?"
Kieran continued with the temperature.
"Those bastards from Broken Fire Council are a bunch of cunning hypocrites. If you have any dealings with them, don't ever believe a word they say!
"Moreover, they are very good at backstabbing. They are obviously cooperating with you, but at the same time, they will sell you to your enemy and reap greater benefits from it!"
"Meow was almost cheated!"
Kat Lady reminded Kieran with a serious expression.
"What else?"
Kieran asked.
"No more."
"That's all I know."
Kat Lady replied lazily while rubbing her back against the sofa cushion.
"Well, thank you."
Kieran nodded and turned to walk towards the study.
Kat Lady looked at Kieran's back strangely.
Thank you?
Why would such a guy thank me?
After being repeatedly thrown out by Kieran and drenched in the rain, Catwoman's evaluation of Kieran was that he was cold-blooded and ungentlemanly.
Now, he was being thanked?
For a moment, the catgirl couldn't come back to herself.
"What a strange fellow."
Kat Lady mumbled softly on the sofa.
Then, he let out a big yawn and unconsciously closed his eyes. Not long after, the sound of long breathing could be heard.
Everyone in 17th Randletine Street saw the sleeping Kat Lady, but before Kieran expressed his intentions, no one went to wake her up. They went back to their own tasks.
Ferris the Freezer replaced Bloodman Odork and started his patrol.
Emma Eddie returned to her room and quietly used her own methods to gain power.
Goran, on the other hand, walked to the end of the corridor.
The place was originally Ferris' electronic and mechanical room, but with Goran's addition, the room expanded rapidly. The storeroom beside the room was merged into the room and more electronic devices appeared. For Kieran, who had acquired Mr. Ghost's gold, the purchase was nothing, but for Goran, his power skyrocketed.
Since his consciousness could travel through the network, his own equipment determined his' power 'to a large extent.
"Now, let's see where those little rats are!"
Geran muttered under his breath and placed his palm on the server. Immediately, a special wave of energy began to emanate from it.
The wave was weak but it couldn't escape Kieran's senses.
However, Kieran only paid attention to it for a while. After making sure Goran wasn't in trouble, he looked at the Canberlanor in front of him.
After a few days of reading, the Canberlanor didn't consume any energy at all. Quite the opposite, because of his special body, the Canberlanor became more energetic.
The number of books in the study room also decreased.
Kieran was certain that based on the Canberlanor's reading speed, he would finish reading all the books in the study room before nightfall.
As a matter of fact, half an hour later, the Canberlanor finished reading.
"My lord."
The Canberlanor bowed at Kieran after he woke up from his concentrated state.
"How is it?"
Kieran waved his hand and asked.
"I found something but I need time to deduce it.
"Probably tomorrow morning."
Said the Canberlanor.
"Sure."
Kieran nodded with a smile.
It had only been one night, which was much faster than he had expected.
Then, under Kieran's gaze, the Canberlanor closed his eyes, his mouth muttering and waving his hands in front of his eyes.
He looked like a conductor.
However, Kieran could see something different from before.
Take it out.
Combine it.
It was like marinating meat, taking out salt, sugar, chili, and black pepper from the seasoning box in the kitchen and mixing them according to the ratio.
Right away, Kieran was looking forward to the Canberlanor's deduction.
He stood up softly and left the study room. Kieran didn't want to disturb the Canberlanor anymore.
Likewise, he didn't want to disturb the others.
He had his own unfinished business.
…
Da Lei took his team and quickly ran to the hidden place where the cars were stored. All of them got on the cars without saying a word. After the cars had left the suburbs behind them, they all let out a sigh of relief.
"So this is the Glutton Emperor?"
"It's scary!"
"Broken Fire Council, the investigators from the Union Senate, and the people from Printon couldn't do anything to him!"
Unconsciously, one of the men in the car said.
"Yeah!"
"Why are we involved in this?"
"Damn it!"
"I will never step foot in Alkender City again!"
Another man said.
Although it was a little depressing, it won everyone's approval.
Dale couldn't help but frown when he saw his men's morale plummeting.
He knew if he didn't do anything, the team that he spent so much effort to gather would fall apart. It wasn't something he wanted to see.
Therefore, despite the fear in his heart, Dale spoke.
"Don't worry!
Things aren't as bad as you think!
The Broken Fire Council and Printon Council won't let this slide after losing their men. As for their strength? It's much stronger than you think! "
Said Dale, who was driving the car.
After hearing Dale's words, the men in the car felt a little relieved.
A while later, one of them spoke.
"Is there anyone in the Broken Fire Council and Printon Council that can kill with a gaze?"
The man asked.
Instantly, everyone's body shuddered.
They saw Harkend of Printon being torn to pieces by the man's gaze with their own eyes.
What a scary man!
Recalling the scene that happened before, Dale's heart also shivered.
As a mercenary, it wasn't like he had never seen an extraordinary individual before.
Even Dale himself was one.
But …
A gaze could kill!
Such an unimaginable level was something Dale never thought possible.
However, Dale had to force himself to say, "I don't know how mysterious the Broken Fire Council is, but I know how powerful Printon Council is!"
"Harkend might have some fame outside, but compared to the Thirteen Calamities of Printon, it's not even worth a mention!"
"Especially Luther and Sphendix, the two of them are synonyms of fear!"
"Luther is also good at killing without a trace, and Sphendix is covered in black armor, invulnerable to blades and spears, possessing boundless strength!"
"If they appear, even the Glutton Emperor won't be a match for them!"
From the reluctance at first to the confidence after a few words, all it took was a few words.
When Dale thought about the two of them, he felt like he was freed from the fear that Kieran created.
Through the rear-view mirror, Dale saw his men were still in a state of shock, so he quickly made up his mind.
"Haven't you been asking about our employer?"
"I'll tell you now."
"Our employer is from Printon."
Dale said.
"Is it one of Sir Luther or Sphendix?"
One of his men asked.
"You can say that."
Dale said in a vague tone.
Given his identity and strength, he couldn't get in touch with the Thirteen Calamities, but he could get in touch with their followers.
Just like this time, it was one of Sphendix's followers who contacted him, hence he joined the mission to annihilate the Glutton Emperor.
Although he failed the mission, he managed to get in touch with the follower.
As long as he could get in touch with the follower, he might be able to join Printon.
Without a powerful faction to rely on, the life of a mercenary was too hard.
With the things he had done in the past, it was impossible for him to join an organization like the 'League of Legends'. The Federation would only throw him into prison. Therefore, Printon became his final choice.
The car took a few turns and drove into the border from the outskirts of Alkender City.
Any further and they would be out of Alkender City's territory.
"This is the place!
The lord is in there!
"Keep your temper in check and show me some respect. I don't want you to die without knowing why. Do you understand?"
Dale, who was driving, pointed at the farm further away and reminded his men with a serious look.
"Yes, boss."
"Got it."
The four of them nodded repeatedly. Actually, even without Dale's reminder, these mercenaries who had just gone through an inhuman battle had kept their arrogance away.
Now?
With Da Lei's reminder, he carefully got off the car and followed Da Lei into the farm.
Throughout the whole process, the four of them were trembling in fear.
When Dale was about to knock on the door, they gulped nervously.
Dok, Dok, Dok!
Every knock on the door caused their hearts to tremble, as if it was knocking on their hearts.
Then, a squeak sounded.
The door opened.
The moment the door opened, the four of them, including Dale, had their hearts in their throats.
But right after that, their faces were filled with astonishment.
The person in front of them was wearing a black robe and had a scrawny face. If he wore a hood and stood in the shadows, he would send chills down one's spine without even opening his mouth.
But now?
After the person opened the door in a hurry, he returned to his room and tidied up the items in his room, his face showing a sense of panic.
"Are you going on a long journey?"
Dale couldn't help but ask when he saw the big box.
"Damn it!
My lord ordered me to return to Printon immediately! I've offended something that I shouldn't have!
"Take your reward and scram!"
The person then tossed the bag of money that he had prepared to Dale.
Dale instinctively caught the bag of money.
He was a little dumbstruck.
Something that he shouldn't have offended?
Recently, his employer only had eyes for one person …
The Glutton Emperor!
Dale shrunk his neck as he thought of something.
The leader of the mercenaries didn't say a word, he turned around and left.
Leave Alkender immediately!
Never to return for the rest of his life!
Even Sphendix, the Black Knight's follower, had to run away from the Glutton Emperor, what was Dale to him?
Dale hastened his steps after he made up his mind.
However, the moment he stepped out of the door, his heart felt a sharp pain.
"Aaaargh!"
After letting out a blood-curdling scream, the mercenary leader fell to the ground. Behind him, his four subordinates also stopped breathing.
Because of his extraordinary body, the mercenary leader didn't die on the spot, but he was on the verge of death.
He looked at his employer with a hateful gaze.
There was no confusion.
Only unwillingness.
The moment he fell to the ground, he knew what his employer was doing.
Silencing the witness.
He had done such things in the past in order to keep a secret, but he never thought it would happen to him.
Could it be …
Was the Glutton Emperor really that scary?
Even the men of Printon had to kill the witness to erase all the clues?
"I'm sorry.
I had to do it.
His lordship told me to clean this place up — his lordship is rarely so serious, so I knew that if I returned to Printon on my own, I would die.
I don't want to die and I can't return to Printon.
Then … "
"You will have to die!"
The employer looked at the mercenary leader, who widened his eyes. He picked up the suitcase and twisted open the barrel of gasoline.
Before the employer could finish, the mercenary leader was dead. His eyes were still wide open, it seemed like he died with a grievance.
The employer, however, didn't care, he threw the mercenaries into the room filled with gasoline one by one.
He didn't just want to kill the witness, he also wanted to destroy the evidence!
Only then would he have more time to escape.
"Don't blame me.
This is how the world works.
The cruel and merciless will always laugh at the end! "
"Justice?
That's just a game to trick children. Besides, as mercenaries, you are like hyenas and vultures, so you don't believe in justice, do you?
Otherwise, justice would have descended from the sky and turned us into nothingness! "
The employer, who was standing in front of the room with his suitcase, took out a lighter. His finger moved slightly, the flint ignited, and a flame appeared on the lighter.
The employer said with a sneer while holding the lighter.
But suddenly, the employer felt something wasn't right.
A burning sensation came from the top of his head.
Instinctively, the employer looked up and was stunned on the spot.
A giant fireball fell from the sky.
KABOOM!
