Chapter 766 - Still Alive?

Chapter 766 - Still Alive?

While Eliza’s and her henchmen were preparing to invade Baymard’s prison, yet another person was thinking of Baymard too.

.

--The Capital City, The Empire Of Yodan--

.

Maclaine sat in his office and quickly went over a few doc.u.ments here and there.

Since Sirius had gone out on official business, he, as Yodan’s King-father, had to overlook some things until King Sirius was back.

’Knock! Knock! Knock!’

"King-father, It is I, Randolf."

Maclaine dropped his pen and looked at the iron door.

Soon, a young knight rushed towards him with several newspapers in his hands.

Maclaine looked at them and smiled.

Once a week, he would buy several stacks of newspapers for himself because they truly fascinated him.

Merchants sold Baymardian newspapers which had both local and international news on it too, with tiny pictures here and there throughout the 40-page newspapers.

It was truly a wonder and a treasure to those in power because the news they got from here was powerful.

It wasn’t just Maclaine who bought them, as several nobles in Yodan and other empires focused their attention there too.

Yes!

These newspapers reported old news of several months ago.

But so what?

These newspapers were godly artifacts to many.

In truth, some of the news was new to them... especially Maclaine.

He learnt about things that happened in all the empires, not just Yodan.

And what truly surprised him was that these Baymardians reported murder, r.a.p.e and other cases.

Reportedly telling the civilians and peasants to stay away from these criminals if they ever saw them.

.

The newspapers hardly reported any nobles, as it focused on psychopaths who were only out to slaughter their way through villages and towns for fear of getting caught.

Of course, some civilians who saw this news quickly spread the word and paid attention to how these criminals looked.

No matter where these serial killers went, many now knew their faces.

There was also news about some Temple of Adonis in an entirely different continent which made Maclaine’s eyeballs almost fall out.

There was even a picture of the temple’s leader, as well as a detailed list of their beliefs and crimes.

Of course, the newspaper had strongly opposed their beliefs, making everyone also believe that this temple was ridiculous as well.

Again, there was a section talking about how people with disabilities got cured.

The newspaper went all in, convincing people to stop being so wicked to the sick.

For sure, product advertis.e.m.e.nts were there too, which made many want to buy these goods too.

Again there was more in health, safety, job listings, new policies and so on.

What made Maclaine in awe was how these Baymardian newspapers knew that some villages and towns here in his own empire had been slaughtered by bandits, cultists and whatnot.

What was even more shocking was that these Baymardians reported murder cases

At first, he didn’t believe them.

But every time he sent people to verify these claims, the results were astonishing.

Did these Baymardians have spies in every city, town and village within the Pyno continent?

That was just impossible!

Even a ruler, would it be able to do that because there were hundreds of thousands of them in just one empire.

That’s why sometimes, they didn’t even know what areas were suffering within their empires... talk less about knowing the situation within other empires.

So the thought of these Baymardians having so many spies was outrageous.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

And even if they did, how was the news relayed back this fast?

The whole thing left Maclaine very confused and intrigued about Baymard.

It was just that he had never been there before because of this busy schedule.

Of course, he knew he would go there.

But not now.

And the children he had disowned were the 9th and 17th child who he spoke to at most 5 times since their birth.

They weren’t competing for the throne, and they weren’t engaged to other princes from other empires or major nobles.

So what use was it for him to know so many children?

He was a very busy man and had no time for them.

So he focused on the first 5 princes and princesses.

With 24 children in total, he didn’t even know some of their names.

Such is the life of a harem ruler.

Seeing mother Winnie’s picture made him nostalgic.

It seems that she was doing quite well in Baymard.

Maclaine gripped the newspaper and decided to take a trip there as soon as possible.

At first, he thought he could wait before visiting.

But after reading about Winnie, he decided to go.

Of course, Maclaine wasn’t the only one who was shocked.

--somewhere in Maclaine’s estate--

.

’Crash!’

"How is this b**ch still alive?

Gather some head and send them over right away.

I want her dead!"

"Yes, mistress!"

.

--in another corner in Maclaine’s estate--

.

"Hahahahhahahahahahah!

Wretch!

So this was your plan all along.

You’ve been gathering forces in the dark in attempts to deal with me right?

Not a chance!

I will never give you a chance to seek revenge.

Pollo!

You know what to do."

"Yes, mistress.

It shall be done."

.

--Another corner in the same estate--

.

"Why are the heaven’s so unfair?

Why is she living better than I am?

No!

If I’m in this hell then she too has to join me as well.

I want her dead.

Dead! Dead! Dead!

You all have to kill her for me.

Go now!"

"Yes, mistress."

"_"

A storm was once again gearing towards Baymard.

And just like that, several days went by in a flash.

Landon smiled calmly before warping out of his office.

Now, it was time for his mission to officially begin.
