Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 532 Spread Over The World

?After much thought and sleeping on it for the night, Himmy had something new to tell the others. He had asked all of them to gather in his room to inform them of his decision.

”What happened yesterday is impossible to keep under wraps for long. Iʼm sure either sooner or later, Alter will ask us to make some type of report.” During his talk, Himmy was constantly pulling the white stick out of his mouth.

Raze could tell that he seemed quite stressed out by this matter. In some way, seeing this, Raze had gained some respect for his squad leader.

Too many times he had been in positions when he was younger and rising in Alterian that he had seen superiors take out their stress on those below them, or pass on the workload to them.

When praise was due, they would be happy to take all the credit, but if it was the opposite, then quickly it would fall to those below him.

Not once, though, had Himmy seemed to tell the group off for what had occurred.

”Which is why Iʼve decided itʼs best if I head back to Alter, and to do so alone. If I make a report, there is no need for all of us to go, and if we all go, theyʼll question each one of us and it will be harder to get our story straight. So I will be away for a while, and in the meantime, you guys should stay in the city and try not to cause any trouble.”

With those words said, he didnʼt even leave time for the others to ask any questions, and Himmy had already headed straight for the door.

Before exiting, he turned around to look at the others.

”Charlotte, while Iʼm away, youʼre in charge of these two, Iʼm trusting you.”

”Me!” Charlotte said, pointing to herself, but nothing else could be done as Himmy had already left.

Charlotte then turned to look at the current two members. Anna was a well-known troublemaker, so much to the point that Himmy would allow her to go on solo missions.

She was always successful in her missions but based on the reports she had given, there was more trouble than they would have liked.

Then the latest member, Raze. He had the strength to take down a whole Clan by himself, and Himmy wanted her to be in charge of them, how would this even be possible?

”Why donʼt we just head to the Lethal Bite Clan base. Iʼm sure Harbour and Bargo might need our help with setting up a few things,” Charlotte suggested. ”Besides, I should tell them what their role will be in Alter and how they should act.

”The doʼs and donʼts.”

There was no reply from the others, which she took as a yes.

”Well, this is going to be fun,” Charlotte sighed.

Keeping what happened under wraps was impossible, just as Himmy had suggested. Multiple warriors had died, those warriors had families that were in the city.

Not only that, but there were the guards that were stationed around the city as well. It was clear as day that the Clan that looked after the city was now no longer.

The people were in fear because they lived on the border; they were afraid that this weakened state would allow for them to be attacked soon.

Which was why Bargo and Harbour were quick to make an announcement. The general public was fine with Harbour being the head of the city.

He had been doing a good job so far, and not just that, they were afraid. People had learned what happened to his family and now knew what happened to the Lethal Bite Clan, putting two things together and his current position they thought he was the one responsible.

However, people knew he didnʼt have the direct power, so all sorts of rumors were swirling about, and the most likely rumor was that the Moon Shield Clan had helped to get rid of the Lethal Bite Clan.

Because of this, Harbour thought it would be best to just get rid of the clan name altogether. The Lethal Bite Clan was no more.

Those that would be running the city would just be part of the cityʼs government run by him. This was for the best, until now.

One of the first groups to find out about the matter was the other major clans in the Dark Faction, and once again an emergency meeting between the current leaders had been called in the academy.

In the main building, sitting down in a dark hall full of wooden floors. The leaders were sitting in their seats with some of their trusted men by their side.

The leaders were sitting opposite each other apart from Murkel, who sat facing to the door, looking at the others to his left and right. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

”What has occurred at the Lethal Bite Clan is somewhat what I predicted would happen,” Murkel claimed, placing both of his hands together.

”You predicted that the Clan would fall?” Samantha asked with a raised eyebrow.

”When the head of a clan falls, there are always those that will fight to take charge of the position. A civil fight was always expected which was why we had sent Bargo in the first place.

”To make them aware that we were watching things. If they did anything, then we would act. What I didnʼt expect was the whole clan to be taken down,” Murkel said.

”Then I have to ask?” Crine, leader of the Flowing Force Clan interrupted. ”Is the rumor true, did The Moon Shield Clan really have a hand in taking out the Lethal Bite Clan, was this your order Murkel?”

Murkel didnʼt have to answer that because Gavin interrupted straight away.

”It is not true. Bargo was present and currently they say they are dealing with the matter to give confidence to the people, so hopefully the Demonic Faction wonʼt attack.”

The other clan leaders laughed. Who would have thought they would be in this position with one of the top clans falling? They had quickly become a laughingstock.

The more important matter was the Demonic Faction and what their move would be now that they knew strength at the border had been weakened.

”They wonʼt attack,” Murkel answered. ”I am quite confident about that.”

”There are two reasons as to why they wonʼt attack. The martial arts tournament is right around the corner. They are unaware of our Factionʼs full strength and due to how close it is they will use the tournament to test matters.”

”This is why the tournament is now more important than ever for us to show our strength. As for the second matter, remember the Lethal Bite Clan was eliminated.”

”One of the top clans of the Dark Faction had been eliminated, but who was it done by?”

Gavin was a bit slow, as he didnʼt quite understand what Murkel was getting at.

”What does it matter?”

”It does matter because the Light Faction and the Demonic Faction are well aware that this wasnʼt done by them, but done by someone in the Dark Faction. Which means that they will consider this as our strength.

”What I want to know is, who, or what Clan was strong enough to take out the whole clan, even if it was in a weakened state, and Iʼm sure theyʼre wondering the same thing.”
