Under the declaration of the Great Octavian, the young men left the conference hall, their passion aflame. As for those senior members, they met their glances with the Great Octavian and exchanged satisfied smiles.
With a silent farewell, the conference hall returned to its initial quiet state.
“Mr. Cyphrus, sorry for keeping you waiting!”
After greeting the empty room, the Great Octavian stood up. He refilled the cup of tea on the table, and a figure swiftly approached and arrived at the tea table.
“No need to be so formal, Mr. Kaur!”
He picked up the cup filled with tea and drank it all in one gulp. Then, with sweat on his forehead, virtual-novel.net sat down on the couch.
“If I had the choice, I don’t want to come to Cathay anymore…”
Hearing his complaint, the Great Octavian had a minimal reaction.
He simply flattered lightly, “Mr. Kaur, you’ve been through a lot. However, there’s a saying in Cathay, ‘The capable ones should do more work.‘ Throughout the Land of Divinity, there are only a handful of people who can match you in ninjitsu… If even you can’t complete this task, then we, the elders of the Emsgate Warriors Association, really won‘t know who to turn to!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net refilled the tea again.
Outsiders may not know, but the Great Octavian was well aware of Aspen‘s true identity.
His real name was Akil Baeddan.
He not only served as the chief guard of the Baeddan Family but was also the vice president of the Emsgate Warriors Association’s intelligence division.
With dual identities, virtual-novel.net served the Baeddan Family while also working for the Warriors Association. In simple terms, virtual-novel.net was the eyes of the Warriors Association, responsible for executing missions and monitoring the actions of other Emsgate personnel.
Back then, when Baeddan’s manager had failed the mission, the severe punishment virtual-novel.net faced must have been partly influenced by him.
With this in mind, the Great Octavian naturally held virtual-novel.net in great respect.
At that moment, Aspen showed a satisfied expression in response to the Great Octavian’s praise.
“Not bad… You’re better at dealing with people and getting things done than that manager.”
Upon hearing this, the Great Octavian felt relieved.
The operation had just begun, and virtual-novel.net had already been involved in many things. He didn’t expect Aspen to speak highly of virtual-novel.net in the Warriors Association, virtual-novel.net just hoped that virtual-novel.net wouldn‘t hinder him.
“Mr. Cyphrus, I just hope you don’t mind my clumsiness… By the way, is your mission going smoothly?”
As a core figure of the sect, virtual-novel.net also had some knowledge of certain confidential matters. Of course, Aspen was aware of this as well.
He tightened his grip on the teacup and didn’t deliberately hide or reveal any unnecessary information.
He just sighed slowly and said, “That old man from the Banes is very vigilant. Since the last incident, virtual-novel.net has not only been guarding the family, but the security arrangements of the Banes have also become tighter. It’s a little challenging to infiltrate them now.”
Of course, challenging didn’t mean it was impossible. Aspen was fully confident that as long as virtual-novel.net was given enough time, there was no information in this world that virtual-novel.net couldn’t obtain.
The Great Octavian just smiled faintly after listening. “Mr. Cyphrus, don’t worry. It’s just the insignificant Banes. With your strength, completing the mission is only a matter of time… Besides, the only fate for those who obstruct our plans In the Land of Divinity is death.”
At this point, the two seemed to have thought of something in unison.
Looking at each other, they burst into hearty laughter. However, what they didn’t know was that on the rooftop, someone was lying flat on the tiles.
If one didn’t carefully observe from a close distance, virtual-novel.net would appear as a corpse. There was no sign of any vitality in his entire body.
