Chapter 79: Loyal

"There are no problems, Patriarch!" The four men shouted out loud at the same time as they answered their Patriarch.

Of course, they knew what the Patriarch was talking about since the Patriarch specifically called them out.

They were the four leaders of the four organizations that the Warmester Denoble House created to do their dark work.

Well, at this point, the whole Warmester Denoble House was a very dark denoble house.

If the people of the Zacharath were to be asked about this, the four organizations and the Warmester Denoble House were the same organizations, and there would be no doubt when they answer this.

Anyway, when the Patriarch heard their answer, a vein popped on his forehead.

It seems that he was angry about what he just heard, but that was not all as he even slammed on the ground with the staff in his hands.

Thud! The sound of his staff and the ground hitting resounded out, and it even shook the entire place a little bit.

And that was...a little bit shocking.

After all, this entire place was built with quite the special material that no attacks would be able to destroy, even if it was an attack from a strong and renowned demon.

And the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House was definitely a strong and renowned demon.

That was why...for the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House to shake this place which was built with quite the special material was a little bit shocking.

It was shocking because it was built with that special material, but it was only a little bit as it was expected as he was the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

Although it sounds confusing, that was just how things worked as that was just how high quality this special material is.

Anyway, when the shaking of the entire place finally stopped, the old man spoke again, but this time, with a harsher and hoarse voice that seems to just pierce through one's soul.

"What do you mean there are no problems!? I hear my grandson's toy has still not arrived at his bed, what about that, huh?!"

"I created the organizations so that the main house wouldn't have to work at all and be able to keep a good reputation, but you guys are useless!"

"What's more! The royal family has sent me a letter regarding the suspicious movements of various syndicates!"

"Those various syndicates are you guys, no!? Just how sloppy have you gotten for the royal family to invite me and talk about it!?"

"Just the fact that they even invited me shows that they are already suspicious of the Warmester Denoble House!"

"Do you even understand our situation!?"

The Patriarch said all those words without stopping at all. He became out of breath, but it didn't really matter to the Patriarch as he was able to regain it back in no time at all.

Of course, when Strings, Intel, Moni, and War heard his words...no, it was not only them as even the other two men, along with the four guys, started to shake.

Well, the Patriarch himself was angry with them. It was only natural that they would get scared since the Patriarch would definitely be able to kill them and their families without even standing up.

That was how powerful the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House was.

Well, it was because the Patriarch would definitely be able to send his men towards them or something like that.

Even though the Patriarch was definitely strong, he wouldn't be able to take on the 6 pillars at the same time as he was an old man now.

There was a reason why they were called the 6 pillars, after all.

However, there was a reason why the 6 pillars are scared of the Patriarch getting angry.

And that was...

'O-oh no! If he gets angry, his heart might just give up on him and the Patriarch might die!' The man called String thought as he tried to think up of things that he could possibly say to calm the Patriarch.

Right...the reason why they were afraid of the Patriarch getting angry was because it might just cause the death of the Patriarch.

It seems that they were loyal to the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House as they are even thinking of his health even though the Patriarch just said horrible things to them.

Well, there was a reason why they were subordinates to him and there is a reason why they are loyal to him. After all, they wouldn't be subordinates to him if they weren't loyal.

The 6 pillars...each of them are strong and can go independent now and they would be able to flourish by themselves, but...they are still here, serving the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

Just this much is showing their loyalty to the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

Anyway, it was not only String who tried to think up things to calm the Patriarch as all of the 6 pillars did so.

However, the first one to think up a way of how to calm the Patriarch was Intel, the leader of the organization that handles information.

In a way, this was to be expected as Intel was the leader of such an organization.

Anyway, this is what Intel said, and he said this while keeping his head bowed down.

"P-Patriarch, the young master's toy is already on the way to Warm City, and that task is handled by the assassins of the Warmester Denoble House."

"The various organizations that String, Moni, War, and I lead are also supporting those assassins so they are guaranteed to reach the Warm City...after a day or so from now."

"Please, do not worry about that. As for the syndicates that the royal family is looking at, please... do not worry about them also."

Intel said all those words, and his voice resounded out in this place as his words entered each of the people present here in this place.

Of course, when the other 6 pillars heard his words, they immediately understood what he wanted to say.

Well, it was really easy to understand as Intel even stopped speaking after that.

And the only reason why Intel would stop speaking even though they wanted the Patriarch to calm down...is to let other speak.

And they understood that just from the fact that Intel stopped speaking.

And the first one to speak was...War, the guy who handles the organization that is specifically made for war and everything regarding war.

"Yes, Patriarch. Intel is right. Please do not worry about the syndicates or the royal family, they absolutely have nothing on us." War's voice resounded out in this place, and that was all that he said.

Of course, he stopped speaking for the same reason Intel did, and that was to let other pillars speak.

Sensing that this is a chance for him to speak, String immediately jumped in on the chance to speak as he spoke.

"That's right, Patriarch. Besides, I think that those syndicates that the royal family is talking about... are just dummy syndicates that we placed around the Zacharath Kingdom so that they would think those syndicates are the ones responsible for our actions and doings."

Right...and what String said was indeed the truth. The four organizations that the Warmester Denoble House created also made some other organizations under them act as dummies for them.

After all, it would just be too dangerous to operate as the only syndicates in the Zacharath Kingdom's capital city, Epitel. Even if they certainly could monopolize the underworld, the four organizations...no, the Warmester Denoble House wouldn't dare do something like that.

One trace would be enough to track them down, after all, and things could get messy once that's done so it was better to have some dummies operate just in case something bad happens.

Anyway, when String said those dummy syndicates existing in the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom, Moni, the one who handles the organization in charge of getting funds and everything regarding money, spoke.

"That's right, Patriarch. From my calculations and from the data that I have gathered, it is more than likely that the syndicates that the royal family wants to talk about are the dummy syndicates."

"No...I am more than 85% sure that it is the dummy syndicates." Moni said.

The other two pillars, the left and right-hand men of the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House, wanted to say something as well, but...they refrained from doing so.

After all, they didn't know what was happening in the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom, Epitel.

It would be better to leave it to the guys who know the ins and outs of the Epitel city.

And because of that, there is no one who spoke after Moni, and silence resounded out in this place.

It was weird that silence resounded out, but...that silence was broken soon as someone unexpectedly spoke up.

And that someone is...Rouge.

"Patriarch, if I may speak..."
