"Who are they sending?" Anya asked Leo, slightly taken aback.
She wasn't sure if the person coming was going to be in the faction of the Right Guardian who was Leo's master.
"They didn't tell me who was coming. All they said is that they will send someone," Leo ignorantly answered.
With all higher ups being so busy in the preparation, even he didn't know who was going to be coming. Even he hoped that it was going to be someone from his faction so that things could become easier for him.
The entire Kiel Family had been wiped out, along with the Family Heads of other Major Families. It was a great loss, but also a great opportunity.
If they were careful, they could truly devour the families that had lost their leaders. However, it was impossible to do that alone. Even with the support of their families, it was hard.
Even though the other families had lost their leaders, they were like poisonous snakes. The more injured they were the more dangerous they could become.
To take the most advantage of the situation, he needed the help of someone from the Necromancer Tower. No matter how upset these families were, they weren't going to go against the will of the Necromancer Tower.
In a time like this when a war with another continent could start at any moment, it might be the perfect opportunity for his family to unify all major families under it.
At that point, even Anya's family couldn't stand against them. Despite all his wishes, he knew that it all depended on the person who was going to be coming.
....
In the Necromancer Tower, a man dressed in dark clothes was rushing through the hallway.
His back was drenched in cold sweat as if he had just returned after meeting death itself. Behind him, there was a corridor which was filled with dark flames.
The person placed a finger in front of their lips, "Shhh."
The Hall Master quickly shut their mouth, swallowing the sentence that he was out to utter next.
His eyes were in disbelief. He couldn't understand why this person was here. For people like him, seeing even one of them existences was unlikely, but he had met two of these godlike existences in the Necromancer Tower in a single day.
"I heard something really interesting happened today?" A voice fell in the man's ears, making his soul tremble.
Even though the other person hadn't used any special abilities, but he still felt like his soul was hurting when hearing their voice.
"T-that is true. According to information, a Cardinal had attacked the meeting of the Major Family Heads taking place in the Kiel Family Territory. There are suspicions of the Demon Sect's involvement as well."
The man was extremely respectful while explaining. He wasn't this respectful even in front of his father in the past as he was now. He didn't even raise his head to look at the figure of the person standing on the other side of the room.
"The Holy Church and the Demon Sect?" A subtle smirk spread across the lips of the person. However, the Gall Master felt his soul getting even more injured, sensing the killing intent within that charming voice.
"I don't know how true it is. That's why, 'he' has instructed me to go and investigate." The Hall Master felt like crying at this point.
Everyone thought that there were only the left and right guardians in the Necromancer Tower who came after the Tower Master in strength.
Not a single person outside the Necromancer Tower knew about the existence of a third person, who was even above the two Guardians. It was also the person who had instructed him.
"You don't have to bother with it. I have a lot of free time. As we have it, I was also thinking about going out for a walk. While I'm out, I should handle this as well. Won't you agree?" The person asked, but it was less of a question and more of a command.
"But 'he' told me to..." The Hall Master tried speaking, only to close his mouth as he felt an invisible force grab his neck, making him feel like he was going to die if he said even a single word more.
