X 17th, 2400
While the academy was taking place, back at the Guild Association Warden was currently talking to the leader of the Doom Order.
The leader of the Doom Order is called Lord Doom, and he is one of the Heavenly Swordsmaster of Pontiac Planet and the founder of the order.
Inside the association, in a dark room, a holographic figure with his face hidden spoke with a deep and hoarse voice. "Warden, I am pleased with the result of the beast outbreak you caused."
"Many of the successors of some noble families were successfully removed from this world. This would help us with our rise to power in the future."
"Those noble families strength will plummet soon enough without their successors, who should have been the ones that would rule their noble families in the future."
"Though it was not the descendants of the major families that died, it can still be considered a success."
"Just do not provoke the Raverdieu's, as that family is not something we can contend against right now."
"Yes, my Lord," Hawkin responded in a dignified manner while kneeling down. "Even though this plan was successful and that no one knows that we were responsible for this outbreak. It seems that someone has suspected us and is currently investigating the Guild Hunter Association."
"Hmm, do you have any idea who it is that is looking into this matter?"
"I believe it should be the Raverdieu's, more specifically, Zenryx Raverdieu. He was also the reason why the scheme I had been long planning was only partially successful."
"If it weren't for that kid, Celestia Doomthorne, and that Daphne Duragny, they would have also fallen during the outbreak."
Hearing this, Lord Doom was taken back. He did hear about what transpired during the outbreak and how Zen appeared and saved the day, but he never thought that he would be the one who figured some things out regarding what caused the outbreak.
Even if it were just Zen's speculations and such, this is a serious matter. They did not want to provoke the Raverdieu's, and now that same family that they did not want to provoke is suddenly investigating them? What is this?
"Warden, this is a serious matter; you should know what caused our order to fall and reduce it to our current circumstances. Do you have any basis for what you just said?" The Doom Lord inquired.
"My Lord, the forces that were sent out seem to belong to the Raverdieu's. Currently, Duke Randell and Elle are not present on Pontiac Planet. Other than Zenryx Raverdieu, who else do you think can mobilize them?"
"Did Fiona Raverdieu get caught in the outbreak?" Doom Lord questioned, "If so, that might be one of the reasons why the Raverdieu family is suddenly mobilizing their forces to investigate the matter."
"I stayed around, lurking in the shadows, and made sure that she was out of harm's way. Otherwise, if she ended up dead, the Raverdieu's would really use all their power to get to the bottom of what happened, and our order might just get wiped out of this planet."
"How Zenryx Raverdieu figured out that it was probably us who caused the outbreak? I have no idea."
The Doom Lord digested all of the information he said, stayed silent for a moment, and thought about it. "Leave the Guild Hunter Association for now and return to our main base."
"There might be a chance that the Raverdieu's will figure things out and will suddenly launch an attack on you."
Although Warden has only recently joined the Doom Order, his achievements and usefulness were really something that the Lord Doom valued. If he loses such a valuable subordinate, it would really be a great loss.
So he wanted him to retreat back to their main base and lay low for now.
"Yes, Lord, but before that, I have someone to introduce to you." Warden said with a smirk showing on his face. "Come in!"
As soon as Warden's words dropped, a young figure entered the room.
"This is Noah Crellon from the Crellon family. My lord, I believe he would be a great help for us to achieve our goal. What do you think?"
"What?! Crellon?" The Doom Lord gazed at him and questioned him. "You want to join the Doom Order? What made you want to join?"
"I was promised power by Warden. He contacted me and said that I would be able to gain strength in a short period of time. I am willing to offer you the Duke family and have it serve the Doom Order.
"HAHAHHA, Very good, very good. With you by our side, we will be able to rule this whole continent. Not even the whole continent, but it would also be possible to rule the entire planet in the future!" Doom Lord manically laughed.
That's what he said, but inwardly it was different: "We'll except for the Raverdieu's, of course; that family is too strong. Why did they even choose to come to Pontiac Planet?'
"Warden, you've really done an impressive job, even being able to recruit such an outstanding young man."n0VeLusB.c0m
"Very good, you, Noah Crellon, follow Warden back to our main base. I will help you gain the strength you are seeking."
Hearing this, Noah revealed an evil grin and stated inwardly, 'I will be back, you f*ckers, and destroy those that made a mockery of me!'
With that, they both entered a ship and started heading towards the main base of the Doom Order.
After some time, they finally arrived at a medium-sized island that looked to be like a normal island, but as they got closer, the surrounding area seemed to be caged in what seemingly looked like a barrier.
Warden flew out of the ship and took out a token, followed by a mechanical sound that could be heard, and then a doorway appeared.
Warden got back to the ship and entered through the large doorway that manifested.
The island looked like a normal island from the outside, but inside, large, dark structures or buildings could be seen. Inside, it actually looked like a miniature city.
Noah, who was inside the ship, was speechless. "What kind of technology is this? How can a normal-looking island suddenly turn into something like a city?!"
Soon they exited out of the ship and got ready to meet the Doom Lord.
