"!!!" Stefany widened her eyes in disbelief. "What?"
The Dark Supre smiled. "I've long been forgotten. However, that defeat has never disappeared from my mory."
The Dark Supre closed his eyes. The defeat of that day kept replaying in his mind.
"If you are related to the Hacfield family, then…" Stefany gasped. She wondered if there was even a chance for the other successors to win.
"Hey. I'm not biased or anything. The promise I have with Mike is that I will hold the Dark Moon rcenary. His grandson will be the one who makes the king. If he fails, then that ans whatever he's planning is bound to fail.
"However, he's right. His grandson is a kingmaker." Maxwell looked at Stefany. "It is good that you are true to your promise. If not, you would have been dead by now.
"Still, you might think that you wouldn't be able to hold the Dark Moon rcenary even if you beca the next generation's Dark Supre. After all, what you have is only a portion of the connections you've established along the way. In terms of wit, you're still losing to Vina.
"If you lose in strength, no one will help you, or you might get usurped. The only way to fix that is by doing what you do best. Making connections.
"Right now, Clovis has everything. He has the wits to battle the Prophet, he has the strength that surpasses his own level, and his connections are extrely wide.
"If you rely on him, you will be able to control the Dark Moon rcenary, and no one will be able to do anything to you. But the mont you lose that connection, everyone will bla you."
"…" Stefany couldn't deny it. It was true that the mont she lost Clovis was the mont she lost the trust of the Dark Moon rcenary.
"What I want to say is that among the Tier 6, Tier 7, and Tier 8 humans in our group, 40% of them are remnants of the Hacfield family.
"I guess you will think that's a small number, but over the years, I've grown the Dark Moon rcenary. It might not be as big as the previous Hacfield family, but it can be considered half of its prestige in the past.
"Of course, many strong humans in our group have been recruited by while making sure of their loyalty. As long as you don't reveal that the Dark Moon rcenary is the vassal of the Hacfield family, no one will make a big fuss about it. You just help Clovis to 'repay' him for his assistance during the succession and everyone can accept it.
"You will be playing a very delicate ga after this. That's why you need to get stronger on your own. Even if you can't possess strength similar to mine, you will need to improve your wits. To understand the situation, to be sensitive to your condition, and to know the perfect ti to strike. You will need to start learning it from now, and I will be here to teach you about it."
"This…" Stefany was speechless. She didn't expect that the Dark Supre had been hiding this kind of secret.
"Do you understand the weight of your position now?" The Dark Supre asked.
Stefany bit her lip. "Can I ask you one question?"
"Sure."
"What is the goal of the Dark Moon rcenary?"
"In the past, Mike was the figurehead. Because he was the one in charge, people followed him. However, there were four people who took care of the managent of the Hacfield family.
"The first pillar was the manager of the logistics and information network. Because of that person, the Hacfield family could operate just fine. We could expand our network quickly and beco one of the strongest forces in the world.
"The second pillar was the manager of human resources. I was the manager. The work was basically muscle. I mobilized our people and crushed our opponents.
"The third pillar was the asset manager. That person took care of the money and all the connections so that the Hacfield family never lacked anything when going on an expedition.
"The last pillar was the judge. This position had the right to administer rewards and punishnts. It kept everyone on a tight leash without making them frustrated.
"Right now, I'm sure you understand that Clovis Hacfield has a lot of things, but not everything.
"He has that girl, Kanaria, to take care of their logistics. Her talent might be similar to or surpass that of the previous manager in terms of logistics.
"Vina will be there to take care of the Hacfield family's information network. With both of them combined, there won't be any worries about the first pillar anymore.
"The third pillar can be taken care of by those two, Hana and Angelia. Hana's talent in business far surpasses anyone I know. If she's playing her part, I doubt Clovis will have to worry about the budget anymore in the future.
"On the other hand, I know that Angelia has sothing that helps her during the negotiation. I don't know what it is yet, but it must be sothing special. It's either her talent or sothing like a pseudo unique ability. With her managing the Libation Fiesta's connections, Clovis doesn't have to worry anymore.
"The fourth is the judge. He might not have it yet, but there are a few with that kind of talent. From what I've heard, Erwin's talent is able to discern the true nature of a person. There is also lody, who is a master manager. She can handle everything. Jay might be the silent type, but he understands everything around him. Lastly, Aileen can be the executioner who handles the punishnt.
"However, they have to either work together or soone has to step up to take that position.
"Nevertheless, you now understand the situation." The Dark Supre smiled. "Right now, you might have the Dark Moon rcenary, but your control is not absolute. The mont you lose the connection to him, you will be useless. That's why I want to ask you. What are you going to be?"
