The man on the other side didn't respect her at all, but she needed to swallow her anger. After all, the person on the other side was someone who had already surpassed the limits of mortals and got an unlimited lifespan.
Moreover, he went even a step further. He introduced himself as a Law God, which surpassed a mere Law Master, but he wasn't even considered to be among the strong ones of his organization.
As someone with ambition, the woman agreed quickly to collaborate with them, and only then she dared to execute her plans on a big scale. She remained with that small cult for a lot of time for fear of the other experts of the planet, but with that backing, she didn't need to fear having them grouped.
The sponsors wouldn't help her in a fair fight one versus one. If she weren't able to win that kind of fight, she wouldn't be that valuable for the organization, so she wouldn't be helped. After all, she knew that there were other experts with a huge ambition that could be of use for the organization, it was just that she was deemed the most useful.
However, if the other experts grouped together or someone far stronger than she appeared, they would step to help, which was what she wanted.
She didn't really fear a fair fight since she was always cautious enough to not be caught unprepared, but she would be powerless if the rest of the experts teamed against her or someone stronger appeared.
"My lord, we will start our expansion soon. There was a potential nuisance, so we have been waiting to ensure our success."
If Danaga saw her being so respectful in front of somewhere else, he could be shocked to death.
The truth about the sponsors was something that not even he knew. He just believed that his sister finally decided to make a big move.
"No need to contact me for small stuff like this. I expect some results for the next time."
The man on the other side seemed quite pissed that she hadn't even started yet despite having already contacted him.
"I am sorry, my lord. Next time I will bring you great news."
She only contacted him because she hoped to improve her relationship with them, but she was very far from that.
She always treated others like pawns, so she was fully conscious that she was also being treated as a pawn by those sponsors. However, she needed to allow that.
They were a very powerful organization, so relying upon them was the best she could do to escape from the limits of having a lifespan.
Once she had an unlimited lifespan, she wouldn't mind turned her back to them if they weren't useful for her, but given that even a Law God was pretty weak in that organization, fully joining it didn't seem bad at all.
"I hope so."
After that, the man cut the communication and sighed.
"Nuisance? That woman is blind, she didn't know that the true problem isn't a small mortal on the verge of death but the Law God that had been hidden there."
The man was obviously speaking of Lina. He knew that she was there, and that was his major headache.
He acted all mighty in front of that woman, but he wasn't that important inside the organization. Obtaining that planet was just to increase his reputation, but he wasn't sure of being able to win against Lina.
Of course, that man didn't know who Lina was. He only knew that there was a female Law God there, but the strength between Law Gods differed vastly from one to another, so he asked for some investigation.
He could ask for help from other members, but the merit would also be shared then.
He could kill that pawn woman that was in contact with him, but he couldn't kill proper members without reason with his position.
"Isn't that damn report finished yet?"
He had already asked to investigate Lina a long ago, but it had taken far more time than he expected, and he was still waiting for the results.
"Yes, I have just received news that our team finishing gathering information. However, I must inform you that only one of them survived. The rest were all annihilated."
The man's expression changed when he heard that.
He didn't send people to follow Lina on that planet since there was no way his subordinates would be able to do it, but they could gather information about her outside. If she was strong, sure she wasn't nameless.
"Give me that report."
The man grabbed the report that the servant had just taken out and read it carefully.
"I understand. It seems that our side killed her mother, but his father is an Origin God, and he is alive. No wonder they were annihilated for investigating her."
Based on the report, the fact that they were gathering information about Lina filtrated until reaching her father's ears, and he had gone personally to annihilate them. The only survivor was lucky enough to be on another planet when that happened, but he had been scared for some months and hidden without revealing his position to anyone, which was the main reason for the delay in receiving the information.
Asking information about a target was usual among assassins, so it wasn't strange that Lina's father was very careful about people that wanted to buy information about his daughters. The reasons didn't matter, he would annihilate anyone who dared to trade information about them.
"She is already an enemy. If she discovers our identities, she will become hostile. It is better to have her killed, but she is one of the five strongest Law Gods, I can't beat her. I will need to ask for help if she meddles on the plan."
Lina was a greater headache than he expected. If she really turned into an obstacle, he would need to share the merit with others, or it would be impossible to succeed. Of course, he would only contact others at the same level. If someone stronger participated, that person would receive all the merit.
"She seems to be there protecting his sister that is still a mortal. With some luck, they would have finished and left before we enter into conflict. It would be a merit to kill them, but too risky."
He didn't plan to fight in a fight he couldn't win without reason, so he hoped that Lina would just leave before a conflict happened, but he didn't have high hopes on that.
"I thought that the planet had some value since that Liye went there to die, but it doesn't seem to have anything of value. Maybe this was a trap? Well, anyway, his Origin Path should appear there someday even if we don't know when, so it is better to have the area under our control. However, it is turning more difficult than I expected with that Lina present."
He didn't think for a second that someone with a soul that was as harmed as Liye's could reincarnate, so he obviously thought that after a while, the Origin Path will reappear there. Once that happened, they could trap someone else going for it and kill him.
After all, it was his organization that left him in that state trying to avoid that he got the Origin Path.
Although he hadn't participated in the matter himself, so all he knew was just that he heard, but he was really proud that they left someone that was so famous in that state.
He heard that the organization had Liye as a target due to his family, but they higher-ups didn't seem so interested in where he went to die as to investigate it themselves, so it was kind of a competition among those at Law God level to discover the place and conquer it.
The higher-ups couldn't move freely to investigate because the organization couldn't act on the open. Otherwise, they might end up with all the universe grouping on them. After all, they had already sided with the invaders, so if that were discovered, they would be purged.
Thus, for someone at Law God level, it was batter to leave things for those at the same level. If they started to use strong members to kill weaker members of other factions, they would be investigated for sure.
He wasn't sure why they were aiding the invaders from another universe, but that wasn't a matter that someone at his level was allowed to know. He only needed to follow the orders.
The organization was harsh to those who failed, meaning that they would kill without mercy for a single error, but they also rewarded those who did great merits.
"For now, let's wait. That useless woman may be useful to test the situation. Even if she dies, I wouldn't be blamed at all."
It was impossible to investigate the situation inside the planet carefully enough to have reliable information, so he didn't want to move yet.
However, he never cared about the lives of his pawns. No matter the result, that woman would never be able to join their organization. If she were lucky, she might be enslaved by them instead of killed after she stopped being useful, but they wouldn't accept her as a member.
