Chapter 403 – A Swordsman Nearing Ancient Gods
“Have a seat.”
When the young man in the suit and tie saw Thousand Scars and Death On entering the conference room, he pointed at the sofa before him and signaled for the two to be at ease.
However, be that as it may, neither Thousand Scars nor Death On dared to act casually. It was especially so for Thousand Scars. Even as a three-star ntal strength master, she failed to keep her emotions in check and revealed an anxious expression.
It had already been over a month since Thousand Scars joined the Paimon Conglorate. She had also joined the conglorate much sooner than Death On, so she knew much more about the conglorate than Death On did.
As an outer mber who was in the middle of striving to beco an internal mber in the Paimon Conglorate, the chances of Thousand Scars coming across White Owl, one of the conglorate’s Ten Great Paragons, were close to zero under normal circumstances. This was because their paths in life existed in parallel to each other.
Take the battle in the World Passage, for example. Despite being an internal reserve mber, Thousand Scars didn’t even qualify to be part of the army White Owl led. Only internal paragons such as teor could qualify.
Apart from her status, White Owl’s strength was also sothing Thousand Scars greatly feared.
In Thousand Scars’s opinion, teor was already an incredible expert, and it would take her quite so ti before she could hope to match him. However, in front of White Owl, the so-called “incredible expert” teor would probably last no more than one move. After all, White Owl was an expert who was only half a step from crossing the threshold of the World Tower’s fifth floor, reaching the legendary fifth-floor standard.
However, compared to White Owl, the smartly dressed young man was even more terrifying of an existence!
The Paimon Conglorate’s Third Paragon!
Naless Blade!
Moreover, the Naless Blade wasn’t just the Paimon Conglorate’s Third Paragon. At the sa ti, he was also the conglorate’s Second Successor.
Indeed! Naless Blade was one of the Paimon Conglorate’s successors!
The likes of Dira weren’t even worthy of carrying Naless Blade’s shoes, and even the Paimon Conglorate’s Three Overlords needed to treat Naless Blade with respect.
Even if Naless Blade failed to beco the Paimon Conglorate’s helmsman in the future, he could still beco a senior vice president of the Paimon Conglorate and govern the many upper-ranking hegemonic powers subordinated to the conglorate. Compared to the Three Overlords, who only got to manage one Tier 6 trump card legion each, his status would be much higher in the conglorate at that ti.
So, it was only natural for Thousand Scars to grow anxious after suddenly coming face-to-face with such a big shot. If she accidentally offended Naless Blade, she could very well be banished from the various moving cities and forced to live in hardship for the rest of her life.
“No need to be nervous. Just think of as your colleague,” Naless Blade said with a helpless smile when he saw neither Thousand Scars nor Death On daring to sit down. “If you two don’t take a seat, our conversation can’t go anywhere.”
“Just sit. Mr. Blade is different from Dira,” White Owl said. “In fact, you’ll only make Mr. Blade uncomfortable if you think of him the sa as Dira.”
Hearing this, Thousand Scars and Death On nodded and stopped being polite.
“I heard that both of you are acquainted with Black Fla.” While pouring the two tea, Naless Blade smiled and curiously asked, “May I know if you have any detailed information on him?”
Thousand Scars and Death On exchanged looks with each other.
“I know more about Black Fla, so I’ll speak,” Death On said. Although she was curious as to why Naless Blade would be interested in Black Fla, she chose to say everything she knew, starting from how she learned of Black Fla to how he subsequently stirred up a storm in the Miniature Ancient World…
“I see.” Naless Blade fell into a long silence once he finished hearing Death On’s story. “It seems our conjecture was correct. You don’t know about Black Fla’s true identity, either.”
“We are not Zero Wing’s mbers, after all. We can’t probe deeper into his identity even if we wanted to,” Death On explained. “If anyone would know about Black Fla’s true identity, it would most likely have to be my cousin and Zero Wing’s core executives.”
“Your cousin?” Curiously, Naless Blade asked, “May I know who your cousin is?”
“Hidden Soul!” Death On said venomously. “She used to be the one who took away my position as a commander in the Flower of Seven Sins, but now she is very close to Zero Wing. She also has a close relationship with Black Fla as Black Fla did not hesitate to start a war with the Flower of Seven Sins for her sake.”
“This is good news.” Naless Blade suddenly smiled.
“Good news?” Death On looked at Naless Blade in puzzlent, her mind failing to understand how this was supposed to be good news.
“I hope you two can join Zero Wing!” Naless Blade said, getting straight to the point. “With your blood relationship with your cousin, it should be relatively easy for you to join the ranks of Zero Wing’s core executives.”
“This…” Death On couldn’t help but doubt her hearing when she heard Naless Blade’s request.
It should be known that Black Fla was the villain who had not only annihilated an army of several hundred thousand strong belonging to the Paimon Conglorate, but had also caused Dira to nearly suffer Soul Annihilation.
At this point, the Paimon Conglorate should want nothing more than to erase Black Fla’s existence. Yet, now, Naless Blade wanted her to let go of her past grievances to join Zero Wing, the Guild led by Black Fla? This was utterly insane!
“This is an order!” Naless Blade strictly said, instantly changing his “request” into an order when he saw Death On’s reaction. “Also, you two won’t be the only ones joining Zero Wing. Once you’re in, I’ll also need you to introduce us to Zero Wing!”
“You are also joining Zero Wing, Mr. Blade?”
Thousand Scars felt that she had experienced an auditory hallucination. She could understand Naless Blade having them join Zero Wing. After all, it was common for the various powers to use their base-level mbers to conduct espionage on other powers.
However, it was a different story for Naless Blade.
The Paimon Conglorate’s Second Successor enjoyed status few people could match or overtake in the Starlight Realm.
Yet, now, this Second Successor was humbling himself to join Zero Wing for the sake of a player nad Black Fla. If these words didn’t co directly from Naless Blade’s mouth, Thousand Scars would have never believed them.
It should be known that the current Zero Wing wasn’t even a hegemonic power in the Starlight Realm. What qualifications did Zero Wing have to get a peerless paragon from the Paimon Conglorate to join it?
“Definitely. This is also my goal in coming to Star Lake City,” Naless Blade said. Then, revealing a wry smile, he continued, “You have no idea how big of a price I had to pay to snatch this opportunity.”
“You had to?pay?a price to co here?” Death On was astonished.
Logically, there should be nothing outside the reach of a successor of the Paimon Conglorate. Yet, Naless Blade was saying that he had to make significant sacrifices to co to a backwater city like Star Lake City? For a mont, Death On couldn’t help but doubt her worldview.
White Owl remained quiet when she saw Death On’s response. The matter regarding Black Fla currently remained top secret even within the Paimon Conglorate, so she didn’t have the authority to reveal information on the matter. That was sothing up to Naless Blade to decide.
“...I guess it’ll be alright to tell you two now since this matter won’t be a secret in the future,” Naless Blade said, sighing. Then, he retrieved a docunt from his briefcase and put it on the table, saying, “Take a look at it yourselves. However, rember never to share what you see with anyone else. Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear!”
Hearing Naless Blade’s words, Death On and Thousand Scars couldn’t help but hesitate as they looked at the docunt on the table.
If they looked at the docunt, they would most definitely be burdened with a heavy responsibility that ca with severe consequences. Yet, they would be plagued by curiosity if they chose not to read the docunt. They also felt they would be letting sothing important pass by them.
Let’s take a risk!
Ultimately, Death On and Thousand Scars decided to see what secrets Zero Wing held that would necessitate a big shot like Naless Blade to make a personal visit to Star Lake City.
Around a dozen minutes later, Death On and Thousand Scars beca completely silent.
That person is actually a Swordsman nearing Ancient Gods?
