"I believe they have. A few days ago, a Warship of the Demon Sect entered deep into our territory, which is the first time such an incident has taken place."
"A Warship? Why were we not informed about that?" Many of the family heads grew concerned as soon as the matter of the Warship was brought to their attention.
"If the Demon Sect is sending Warships, that means they have gone beyond their understanding with the Holy Church. Could this be a warning from them?"
"Does it have something to do with the seclusion of those from the Necromancer Tower?'
The Family Heads were confused, talking to each other. They didn't know why the Necromancer Tower had suddenly stopped involving itself from the matters of the outright world.
In recent weeks, it had been almost impossible to even arrange a meeting with the Necromancer Tower. And now, the Demon Sect and Holy Church was getting active?
All of them were growing concerned about what it meant. Their mind was even more hazy as a subtle influence of the drug had started taking hold, albeit to a very weak extent.
"We shot down the warship, losing a lot of people in the process. Unfortunately, all of the people on the ship were already dead by the time it came crashing down, so we couldn't interrogate anyone," the Kiel Family Patriarch continued, dragging the conversation to make them drink more.
He also made sure to tell only the truth to not make them suspicious. In any case, this matter had nothing to do with him so he didn't need to lie.
"Did they kill each other because they didn't want to be caught alive by us," a family head thought out loud, making others come to the same conclusion. "The Demons are just as ruthless to each other as rumored."
"We sent all this information to the Necromancer Tower, but we haven't received any response yet. As you know, the Necromancer Tower has entered seclusion." The Kiel Family Head took a sip of the alcohol placed in front of him, which was the only glass that was not drugged.
Both of them had the same question in their minds. Should they inform the Necromancer Tower? But if this caused them to be distracted, leading to the failure of the opening of hell, could they afford the consequences?
"We can't distract the Necromancer Tower at a time like this. Even if the other Continents want to fight, we have to stop them," Anya said, for the first time not showing any hostility towards Leo.
For them, nothing was greater than the Necromancer Tower. There was no competition when the question was about the safety of the Necromancer Tower.
"How are we going to stop them? It is not going to be easy," Leo replied, frowning. There were things that he couldn't talk about in front of everyone, something that only Anya could understand.
Anya stood up, followed by him. The two of them left his meeting to discuss amongst themselves, without having to be worried about exposing too much.
The two of them walked out of the mansion, lost in their conversation.
They were discussing special measures that they could take with the help of the Major Families to delay the two continents, or maybe even start a conflict between the two continents.
While walking, they didn't even notice when they left the Kiel Family's Mansion, their mind being distracted by the matter entirely.
Leo only came out of his thoughts when his shoulder clashed against another person's shoulder.
Frowning, he raised his head and noticed a young man next to him, who was walking with a young girl that wore the symbol of the Kiel Family.
He didn't know that the person next to him was the same elder who was mentioned in the meeting merely moments ago.
