Chapter 142: He realized something

Shortly after Matt fell silent, Reagan Cooper stood up.

"I agree with you, General Matthew." He said respectfully.

He didn't need to hold respect before him because he was of lower rank, and this time, he wasn't doing it out of politeness or good manners.

Instead, he acknowledged him as an equal or superior to him in terms of strategy and planning.

Moreover, he told his senior colleagues that he, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, a person only below the King in rank, agreed with this plan.

His words carried weight, and even Ericson Lewis had to understand this weight.

Therefore, shortly after that, the Army Generals rose to follow their commander, and finally, Ericson had to nod.

"General Matthew, I hope the plan comes off well." He replied, and Matt smiled.

"Right. Two days later, you people will storm through the front door of that Nobility Club and make all the fuss you can. All the forces we have in the city will move. Our plan is to create enough chaos so that they will not notice I am there. Don't worry; I am certain that what I will find in the basement of that place is more important than anything we have found." He said and then left the place.

He needed to rest.

He had been doing many things these days, plus using a potent ability, so he needed rest.

When he got back to his room, he sighed.

'I just hope it all works out... If research doesn't fail me, those guys are in this city to find the Forbidden Library, which means that the organization is trying to do several things at the same time. Dominate a region, find the forbidden library, and...' While thinking like this, Matt paused and frowned.

A fleeting thought came to his mind, a slightly strange one that made him stray from the central focus.

'...I see.' Matt thought, smiling, and jumped out of his room. He quickly ran over the rooftops and used his dimensional movement to reach a high-rise building.

He had noticed something.

'It's possible that those guys aren't protecting the city as such... Maybe they're just protecting something inside the city. And that something has to be far away from the guys causing trouble... Is it perhaps the Forbidden Library?' Matt thought about that possibility and soon reached the top of a large building.

Carefully, he ducked down and looked at the city from side to side.

'If my guesses are true, it's possible that the Vampire Clans and that organization don't fear those guys as such, but rather the Forbidden Library. Maybe this library is more special than I thought. If that's the case, I need to look for it. Anything I can have or use as a currency of equality over powerful people is important.' He thought.

Ever since he met the King, a question has haunted his mind: If that guy, being so powerful, was a mere subordinate, how powerful are the leaders of the vampire clans?

That's what drove him to achieve great status. Because he knows that it is not impossible for him to encounter problems with those powerful people. In the academy, he already has problems with several people, and one of them is White. That White family is not weak, so he needs a powerful status to match them.

But status by itself wouldn't do much good. He realized that when he learned that Caspian White was a subordinate of Cecily Edevane.

He could do nothing in the face of a woman like that, which even Gray Allen warned him about.

And he was to kill anyone who dared to try to assassinate him, so Caspian White is going to die at his hands, sooner or later.

But, once he does, how could he free himself from Cecily Edevane's hand?

If Sophia Murphy, still a student, was so powerful, how powerful would Cecily Edevane, the strongest woman among the Heirs, be?

That's why Matt needed to find something else to face such adversity.

Now that he realized the Forbidden Library was more special than he thought, he needed to try to discover at least one of its secrets. That is why, although he wanted to rest for what would happen in two days, he decided against it.

Once he reached the top of the city, he looked from side to side at the construction of the houses. He then took out a map and began to draw some things on it.
