So people were gathered in a massive mansion in the City of Clans.
One was sitting quietly, while two kneeled down and told him the news.
One said, "Sir, the city has been strange lately. Philip Baker disappeared after saying he was going to murder a few Basent bastards, and his brothers don't know where he is. Also, those two noble idiots are still missing. What shall we do?"
The seated man put a hand to his forehead for a mont.
He was a skinny man, not very tall. He looked a bit muscular and powerful.
He was a man worthy of his reputation and fa within the Kingdom, for the power exuded from his body was imnse. Moreover, the emblem that adorned his chest distinguished him as one of the Marquises of the Dark Kingdom.
Still, he has been a bit busy and preoccupied these days, which has kept him from sleeping.
"There is nothing you guys can do. I've received the call from Headquarters, and it looks like this ti, our allies in the city will suffer a bit because we don't want to alert the higher-ups. The eting will take place, but start getting all the valuable information out. We may lose the Nobility Club."
At his response, the people in front of him were stunned.
"Are we going to give up the Nobility Club so easily? Wouldn't that be detrintal to us?" one of them asked.
The Marquis smiled, "So easy? Don't worry. I would never give up sothing that belongs to so easily. The Kingdom's forces are not so powerful as to leave everything to them. As far as we know, their strategist is Reagan Cooper, and he's in town. Maybe he has one of the Army Generals with him, but even if there were two of them, they wouldn't give us any trouble.
Reagan Cooper isn't good at research after all."
His reply was full of murderous intent and mockery, which confused those listening even more.
"Sir, if it's just Reagan Cooper, even though I understand he's dangerous, why should we turn over the Nobility Club? That place is important; we can't leave it alone for that guy. Even if there were two Army Generals on the ground, they're no good for strategizing against us; they're only in charge of border fights."
Both listeners, who are powerful people, could not understand this motive.
In fact, it was a reality that Reagan Cooper was problematic, but didn't they have problematic people, too?
Marquis of Campbell looked at them, "You are idiots, you two. Naturally, I'm not going to give it up just for them. You know about the rumors, don't you? You co every day to inform that I thought you had already heard, but I see you haven't, so I'll tell you once. 'The Ruin' showed up again, and it seems he was sent to investigate in the city.
Tell , do you have a way to deal with a monster like him?" the Marquis asked coldly.
His eyes flashed dangerously.
The two before him trembled slightly when they heard that The Ruin had reappeared.
"The Leader of the Bloody Vampire Generals, The Ruin!?" they shouted in shock, causing the Marquis to frown.
They quickly brought a hand to cover their mouths as they realized their mistake.
Then, the Marquis let out a snort.
"Hmph. The eting has actually been moved because of that. Two days ago, at night, the Central Envoy witnessed it. The Ruin is back, and it seems he t with one of the City's leaders. That man is more dangerous than you may think. That is why we must divert his attention and conduct the eting.
Our Central Envoy is in the City right now and will protect us." Said the Marquis, turning to leave after this.
"Carry out everything as planned; don't do anything stupid unless you want to suffer the worst death you can imagine." He said before disappearing out the back door.
He entered a dark room and sighed.
'If only I was so sure that everything would be fine... But the rumor that another Vampire Clan got in is getting stronger and stronger... Everything will beco dangerous from now on, but... Hehe, let's see who dares to touch in that place.' He thought softly as he grabbed a small gun from his closet.
If Matthew Dietrich had seen this gun, he would have been surprised. No matter what, he wouldn't expect to see a weapon like that in a world like this.
And the smile on the Marquis of Campbell's face after holding it in his hand was sinister. He just wanted to see who dared approach him...
.
Over the couple of days that had passed, the City of Clans beca a bit tense. At least in the region where Matt was located, it was.
During these days, Matt imrsed himself in his due rest.
Though he also went out during this ti and found out several interesting things, though he didn't make any big moves.
Until the morning of the appointed day arrived.
During these days, all the forces of the Kingdom stationed in the city were moving back and forth.
People even entered under false identities to create chaos in other sections and divert attention from the main issue.
The whole plan that Matt had devised began very early in the morning, even though the agreed-upon ti was during the night.
This not only alard the city authorities, but even the Clans that were involved noticed that sothing big was about to happen shortly.
And so, the day passed slowly.
There was a lot of movent behind shadows, which even Matt noticed.
That extraneous movent could jeopardize the entire mission, but Matt was calm.
'Marquis of Campbell, eh... I wonder what tricks you've got to play, though you seem to have missed the whole thing lately.' Matt thought as he looked at a small card in his hand.
After that, night fell, and Matt watched the Nobility Club from the top of a building.
Several people started to enter the Nobility Club when a not-so-tall and skinny man opened the door.
His distinction on his chest made many feel flattered to be greeted by him.
He began to greet the guests but soon felt soone staring at him, so he looked up.
'No one? I think I'm nervous.' He thought and continued to receive guests, although a commotion soon ford there.
