Chapter 18 - Sin Of Greed Task

At the All Heaven Alliance Main hall, a meeting was going on presently, if Devon was here he would have recognized the woman sitting on a throne and the two men standing behind her.

The Silas family, and standing before them was one old man and a young woman. They were both putting on black attires.

"Matriarch, we have a report from our source that Liam Allen is dead."

The woman's body began to emit a bone-chilling aura after she heard the piece of news the two people in front of her just told her. While the two men behind her moved two steps away from her.

They knew nothing good could come out from their mother when she was mad about something. Even their father had warned them about it.

"I told you to keep an eye on them, what about Liam's brother?"

Pfffttt!

The old man vomited a gulp of blood, with his whole body shivering. Only he knew the amount of pressure he was facing currently as the woman on the throne question was directed at him. With just thirteen words from her, he felt like his soul was being ripped out piece by piece.

"Our source as it that josh was seen last in the training ground as he was in a battle with someone."

"It is unknown if he is still alive or not, as there are no traces of him again."

The young woman interfered quickly, easing the pressure her partner was receiving a little bit.

"Mother what do we do? A year from now we have to send someone trustworthy to the palace or else."

"Damian shut it, we will figure something out." Bran, the elder brother yelled at Damian.

The woman on the throne stood up, ignoring the two brothers' argument. She walked towards the two people in front of her.

"Matriarch-..."

The old man was about to say something until he saw the woman placing her hand on his shoulder strangely the feeling he felt this time around wasn't pain it was celestial energy. Like celestial energy was gushing straight into his body from the woman's hand.

His power level was increasing at an alarming rate.

"Matriarch... I-.... I-... I'm deeply sorry."

Quick question what do you think would happen when you inflate a balloon too much.

An algid smile appeared on the woman's face disregarding the old man's word she turned to look at the young woman shivering beside him.

"Little girl, I want to know if Josh is alive or not."

The woman removed her hand from the old man's shoulder and walked back to her throne placing her leg on top of the other.

The folks of the Underground World thought the leader of the All Heaven Alliance was Nicholas Silas. Even the low and mid-tier members believed it was Nicholas, only a few members of the high-tier and core-tier members knew it wasn't Nicholas but this woman.

*BAM*BAM*BAM*

Blood splashed everywhere, as the old man's body scattered into different pieces.

"You have till sunset."

******

"Contractor please pick a number

"Hmm, I picked 3 the last time okay 5 this time."

"Sin of Greed Task Assigned

"Main Task: Steal the celestial ball in the Low tier members library floor.

Reward: Transformation skill and a level upgrade.

Devon was asleep on his bed dreaming about the time he went to a concert in the Mortal World with his friends when he heard the voice message.

"Stealing hmm, it shouldn't be that difficult since it is on the first floor."

*Timeframe: 48 hours

Failure equals Reduction in Contractor power level.

He frowned, faced with the frustration of not knowing how to deal with the voice in his head.

It took a while, but he arrived at the All heaven Alliance Library first floor with his emblem in his hand. The voice didn't give him any clue on where the celestial ball was, so he had to search the whole area on the floor.

"Where the hell can this ball be!"

Asking the voice for a hint wasn't an option to Devon, he knew he was only going to get scolded, so they weren't any point in asking the voice for help.

*Timeframe remaining: 32hours

After searching and searching that made members on the first floor look at him in a weird manner he decided to take a break.

Devon placed his back on one of the walls in the library with his eyes shut closed and his hand behind his back.

Then magic happened, the wall turned around to the opposite side of the wall. Devon whose eyes were shut opened them very quickly and was amazed by what he saw.

"Where the hell is this!"

If the library was full of books then the other side was full of the different animal statues. The animal statue formed a line ten on the left and ten on the right side of the wall. And they were facing each other, the strange thing about the statue was that each of them seemed to be alive.

There was no human in the room, no wait a minute there was someone a man. The man was sleeping like a newborn baby, surprisingly one couldn't sense any celestial energy around him even his presence wasn't felt in the room.

But we all know that one shouldn't always judge a book by its cover. And standing behind the man was a pillar, on top of the pillar was a blue ball.

The Ball was rotating at a fast rate as it stood on top of the pillar while there was a spark of celestial energy coming out of it.

"Okay, okay, okay, how do I get the ball without waking this man up."
