Chapter 753 Ophelia's Connection (2)

Ophelia seemed calm on the surface, but she was actually surprised in her heart.

Although such a suspicion was to be expected after all that had been said up until this point, she was amazed by Narvim's repeat of the Supreme Leader's question.

The question was simple, yes, but it also demonstrated the broadness of the person's mind and thinking.

Ophelia couldn't help but admire the Red Dragon Clan's Supreme Leader more and more. Such an interesting being made her want to learn more about the person.

Nevertheless, Narvim wasn't finished.

"My Supreme Leader also considered that you, being the Storm Calamity Witch's close retainer and a Rank 6 Divine Being in the previous life, wouldn't want such a binding contract with the Great Devil Hecate. As such, he suspects you have a looser contract with her than the standard Devil's Contractors," Narvim added.

Once Ophelia heard that, she could no longer remain calm.

Narvim had said that the Supreme Leader hadn't reached a conclusion regarding her relationship with Lady Hecate. However, his suspicion unexpectedly hit the nail on the head.

The person's power of deduction was actually so terrifying.

After piecing together so many doubts and clues, how could his suspicion still be considered a suspicion?

Others would have already called it a definite conclusion.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. You have satisfied my curiosity," Ophelia said gratefully before complimenting, "And I must say, it seems prosperous days await the Red Dragon Clan under the leadership of your Supreme Leader."

"If there's an opportunity, I would like to meet your Supreme Leader one day," Ophelia added.

"That day would come sooner than you think if you indeed have what we came for, Lady Ophelia," Narvim said, staring at the Witch Mother thoughtfully.

"I suppose there's no need to hide it at this point," Ophelia calmly smiled before saying, "Just as your Supreme Leader had guessed, I have a contract with Lady Hecate."

"Furthermore, it is indeed not as binding as the usual contract given to other Devil's Contractors. I suppose you can call me a Subcontractor," Ophelia stated.

"Oh? What's the difference?" Narvim couldn't help but wonder.

"Devil's Contractors sell their souls to the Great Devils in return for power and longevity. Regardless of whether they keep their contract or break it, their souls are no longer their own. Upon their deaths, their souls will go to the Great Devils," Ophelia explained.

On the other hand, they had a previous run-in with the Witch Mother, leader of the Black Witch Society.

After recalling the details of their exchange, they realized the possibility of her having a connection with the Great Devil Hecate.

Fortunately, they weren't wrong in their guess.

"When should I see your Supreme Leader, your Excellency?" Ophelia casually inquired.

"If you are not busy, I can take you to the Supreme Leader right now, Lady Ophelia," Narvim said politely.

"Good. Then, let us be on our way," Ophelia replied eagerly, adding, "I just happen to be quite free right now."

"Understood."

Great Ratholos Empire, Imperial Capital

As the war raged on, Emperor Varan quickly mobilized all his available resources to search for Galen's wife.

However, with little-to-no information on Galen's wife in their records, the search proved to be exceedingly difficult.

After all, without even a description of her appearance to work with, trying to filter through several hundred million people in a short time was an enormous, near-impossible endeavor.

Unless Galen's wife came forward and identified herself, the chance of finding her was abysmally low.

"Your Majesty, this person has practically disappeared from the face of the earth for hundreds of years. Finding her seems impossible. Perhaps focusing our resources on the war effort would be the wiser choice," the imperial advisor suggested.

However, Emperor Varan shook his head and said, "Even if it seems impossible, we still have to do it. This is our only choice."

"Unless we can get Great Devil Hecate to help us before Great Devil Abaddon descends, we will lose everything," Emperor Varan stressed with a grave expression.
