The team behind him had pale white faces as they said with a weak voice: " Yes, Supreme General!" To them a week inside the punishment hall is worse than death, then a month would be hell!
Ren appeared on a tree as she said: " Thor, Team C, and Team D are ready and at their location."
Thor smiled as he said: "Team B is ready as well. Everything is at its place all we need is the best timing."

{~~ After 6 Days from Liam's Left His Mansion~~}
Inside a luxurious mansion in the capital city of Vermilion Empire, there was an old aged man surrounded by many young women around 23 to 29 year old. All of them were extremely beautiful and wearing all types of gold accessories.
While the old man was playing with them, a butler entered the room as he said: "Lord Nel, an important report came about your secret business in Secluded State!"
The old man was Nel Von Vermilion, the third elder of the Vermilion Royal Clan. The third elder Nel expressions changed as he said: " What happened to my business? Did those two old men do something? We had an agreement that nobody interferes with the other business!"
The butler didn't wait for long as he said: "Duke Holt and Count Lynch's businesses were affected as well. The businesses were attacked by House Lamonia's soldiers disguised as bandits and the properties were confiscated by Secluded State guards! Here is the evidence that we found on the scene, a token of House Lamonia. Your general manager in the state sent another group to take the business back but found them all ruined!! Not a single mine or an herb field were left alone!"
Elder Nel eyes turned blood red from anger, he stood up from his sofa as he said: " Does that old fool Zhu thinks that having the Governor Seal and controlling my young nephew will make him equal with me? Did he think by destroying my businesses, he is going to force me to let go of Secluded State? Since that fucker dares to miss with me, I will play with him!! Hmmm…. Go and send the two old men for an invitation to deal with this situation!"
Similar events happened at Duke Renard Von Holt and Count Audari Von Lynch, making them turn mad and destroying everything around them. The moment they received Elder Nel Von Vermilion's invitation to deal with the situation, they traveled at their top speed to his house arriving after several hours.
Several hours after the invitation, two luxurious carriages arrived at Nel Von Vermilion's mansion. Two old men exited the carriages at the same time with a fire burning in their eyes, they didn't bother looking or greeting each other as they headed toward Nel's location.
Nel Von Vermilion was sitting in his main hall when two old men barged into the hall without knocking the door, he stood up as he said: " Brothers you arrived earlier than expected, please come in and have a seat."
Duke Renard Von Holt sat down as he said: " You pervert fox stop messing around with me! Did you order Old Zhu to do this? Or was it you Old Lynch? Going to the extreme and destroying the mines, the fields, the bases, and even raising taxes!!! What the hell is wrong with you!! We have a fucking agreement, not to fucking mess with each other's business!!!"
Count Audari Von Lynch, looked annoyed as he said: "Why the fuck would I fuck up my family's only chance to get back our Grand Duke title, huh? These attacks are so well organized that I doubt Old Zhu has the capability to do so? Who would want us out of Secluded State? There must a big plot in here!!"
Nel Von Vermilion looked at his two old friends as he said: " I agree with you old Lynch. But what I see is that It's Lamonia House's doing!! They want to control everything in the state! Look this is their token!"
Duke Renard Von Holt calmed down as he said: " Someone is trying to take us away from this state? Could it be that the other dukes are behind this? All nobles have to pick a faction and support a prince! However, we three didn't side with anyone till now! Did they make an investigation and thought we support the 9th prince by doing businesses there?"
Count Audari Von Lynch's eyes shined as he said: "You are right that should be the reason! By attacking our businesses they are forcing us to be an enemy to Lamonia and 9th prince. Those crafty old men!! If we attack Old Zhu then the 9th prince might get hurt. If he get hurt because of us, then the empress dowager will be hunting us down!"
Elder Nel Von Vermilion thought for a while then he started to laugh realizing something as he said: "Hahahaha.. Your information gathering is so outdated! Hehehe… Those crafty old men tied to kill him! Brothers we are already labeled by them as 9th prince supporters. If the 9th prince dies we die!"
Both Duke Renard Von Holt and Count Audari Von Lynch looked at him as they asked: "What are you talking about? Did you go crazy? Explain yourself?"
Nel Von Vermilion had cold eyes as he said: " My young nephew Liam has been poisoned 6 days ago and currently in Southern Yang State getting treatment. His exact location is unknown because we found his carriage midway to the Southern Yang State. I think they are trying to assassinate him right now! If he was found dead then we will take the blame in front of Empress Dowager and be killed for "plotting the job"! You guys know how much she likes the kid!!"
Both Duke Renard Von Holt raised his hands as he smashed the table, he said: " They dare to plot against us!! Did they think that I am a nobody because I stayed away from politics? Did they forget how I am?"
Count Audari Von Lynch stood up as he said: " There is no time for bragging about achievements. Brothers, since they want to mess with us so bad, let's show they messed with the wrong men. Hmm... there is not much time, let's go save the 9th prince! Ahh, my old body is not ready for all the mess that is going to happen! Are you coming or what?"
Third elder Nel Von Vermillion and Duke Renard Von Holt looked at each other as they remembered their younger days fighting other nobles and factions. They smiled as they said: " Of course!!"
Duke Renard Von Holt had a big smile as he said: "Ahh I miss those days brothers!! Ever since I retired, I wished to go back and have fun trashing those old men! Do you guys remember that time when we …"
Third elder Nel Von Vermillion punched him in the head as he said: " You talk a lot!! You have never changed you become more annoying as you grow old!!"
Soon, all three laughed and argued as they headed for their outside, making the whole maids and butlers going insane. To them, these three always considered themselves rivals for 180 years they never changed. They can't understand how did they become friends all of a sudden.
Liam would have never thought that his simple act would cause three giant old nobles to go looking for him to "save him from assassins". All of his plans and plots were misunderstood by these men.
