The Conquerors Path

Chapter 536 Chapter 536-Secrets That I Want To Own.

”Is this the final report?”

I asked as I held the document in my hand, to which the man in front of me nodded his head. Seeing this, I turned my chair around, facing towards the glass that gave me a wide and powerful view of Babylon City. Right now, I am at the Archery Tower, the very powerful one of the Archery Association.

One of the great powers of my master and one that I will be inheriting from her. Speaking of Eleanor, it would seem she went into a deep-locked meditation, probably trying to improve upon her laws and powers, which meant that a whole lot of work soon ended up in my lap. As the next head, I have the duties I have to attend to, which only doubled with Eleanor going under.

”A beautiful view... isnʼt it?”

I asked, looking outside, to which the man, Noel, the one provided to me by Eleanor, a very loyal and powerful person as he oozes the aura of an Origin level 9. The very fact that he works and moves at my order shows the raw powers of the Archery Association.

”My master must have worked herself to the bone to get this, right?”

To my following words, he nodded his head. Seeing so, I continued.

”That means she made a lot of enemies, right?”

Again, he nodded to my words.

”As her disciple, itʼs my job to hold the fort while she is away, right?”

Again, he nodded his head without a word, to which I finally turned to look at him, my eyes dark as I spoke.

”Then who the hell is trying to mess with me and my control?”

”Excuse me?”

Is all he could respond as he gave me a confused look, flinching while he did so. Seeing so, I took out the real document and I passed it to him, who took it up and started to read through it, his eyes widening as he did so, while his face turned a bit pale.

”Th-This...”

”I donʼt need excuses, just get me all of the people involved in thia at the hall, now....”

I commanded, my powers potent, to which his eyes turned serious. Without a word, he left the room, the power within him pouring out as he walked out.

ʼHe seems innocent enough...ʼ

I mused as I turned back to look at the view outside. After beating up my friends and giving them some time to think about the future, I left the academy to come here. Some issues in the Archery association that I have to deal with came to my attention, to which I quickly set here.

The document that I pointed out contains some of the outer situations of the branches of the Archery Association and the funds moving through that place. While the report looked perfect, I knew better that the numbers were not the truth. In small numbers, the difference wouldnʼt be huge, but once we take the whole picture in, things get serious.

In truth, every organization will have one or more members trying to cover the eyes of the leaders to get some benefit, and the leaders let it be even if they know about it. For one or two such things, it doesnʼt affect the organization as a whole, and it might even be better to let things go. After all, in an organization, taking the whole picture into view is important.

ʼBut this is a bit different.ʼ

The money being moved isnʼt small, and the bigger thing is the fact that itʼs affecting the branches in a negative manner. It might not appear now, but in 2 to 3 years, things will start to heat up, and even trust might be lost by the other members towards the center. And when that happens, it creates an opportunity for the center to fall.

The interesting thing here is the fact that the ones who did this were extremely careful. They made sure to cover each and every edge to avoid any unforeseen situations. Even the best will find it difficult to see any problems that how well itʼs done, and for it to be done, powerful people will have to step up.

ʼThings are happening a bit faster than I thought...ʼ

Even if I did my best to turn the attention of ʼthemʼ from me to Leonardo, they still havenʼt given up on me. In fact, now they have doubled their stance to take me down. The war to cover the world is drawing near, and the leaking and increasing corruption energy will definitely take this chance to corrupt the world.

And in that scenario, the me who can use an unknown power to remove the corruption energy will be a very dangerous variable to be left alive. Hence, they will try their best to bring me down and take everything I care about away from me. They have already begun doing so, but all their attempts have been in vain till now.

And now they have activated their sleeper agents within the Archery Association to bring down my biggest backing. They are taking it slow in that factor, but still, itʼs a dangerous dagger silently gazing at me from afar, and I wish to crush them as soon as possible.

ʼMe staying away from you guys doesnʼt mean that I canʼt fight you all.ʼ

My eyes turn menacing for a moment, all the spies that I have, keep reporting the situations around the world to me, and everywhere small skirmishes and problems are rising. All of them looks like small, useless problems, but once they are all joined together, they come together to form a big issue. And I am not the only one that noticed these issues.

The reason I stay in the darkness is because I have that advantage then, This makes me powerful and well-prepared, because once all my cards are in the out, it will give my enemies the advantage. And right now, with all my powers, I only seem to have reached an equal level of standing with my enemies.

ʼWithin all these mysteries lay the Gods.ʼ

Beings of absolute power, leaving aside the low-level gods, I am sure that the supreme and the creation Goddess are more than capable of seeing how the world is going. If things go like this, a world-ending event might even occur, yet they do nothing about this. A single batting of their eyelash is enough to get rid of the problem, yet it continues to pester.

ʼThe lack of information is suffocating.ʼ

I slowly held my fingers tighter. The Gods of the world seem very odd. Only the temples of the Supreme Gods exist in the world. The high, mid, and low-level Gods exist, but their information isnʼt widespread or very well known. Only some snippets of their name here and there.

The Gods too seem to be playing an active and passive role in the world. The people seem to worship the supreme Gods, all of them playing a pivotal role in the world, with both the realms focusing on three different supreme Gods, their portrayals still covering both the realms.

But the biggest mystery is the creation Goddess, the two of them being the greatest enigmas. The world knows they exist, their name being the Holy word of existence, yet their appearance and such are unknown. No temples for them and definitely no statues.

In retrospect, shouldnʼt they be the ones being most hailed? Why hide within the Heavenly Realm? And in that manner, I already met one among that Creation Goddess, the very quirky one who seems to have left me alone for some reason. I was more than prepared to create a whole new plan if she came into my life and fell in love with me.

A very arrogant thought, but after having the Gods falling in love with me without me doing anything, I would be a fool not to prepare for a situation where the Gods themselves might mess me up. Because only a few among them are allies to me, especially after I came to understand their worldview from how Lala treated me.

ʼToo many mysteries yet so little for me to go on.ʼ

I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths to calm my raging heart. Soon, within a few days, one of the great mysteries will be revealed to me. After I decimate the Hillcloud family, I will gain answers to one of the many questions that I harbor.

ʼThe secret of the Gods hiding, the information about the lost Era, the true reason for the war thousands of years ago, and why I was brought here, I will find them all...ʼ

The answer to all this the system knows, and I have every plan of getting them all.

ʼBut first I need to learn more about the remaining supreme Goddesses...ʼ

They will be the first key for me to find, just as I kept thinking so, the door to my room opened as Noel came back, his eyes ever serious as he spoke.

”I have gathered them all.”

Hearing this, a light smile filled my face.

”Good, then lead the way.”

As such, I started to follow him to meet my new ʼfriends.ʼ The things I do now start the very plan that will no doubt be shaking a lot of powerful trees and what might fall of it is yet to be seen.
