Chapter 163 - Chapter 163

Beorhtric family head patriarch was consumed with hate toward those who accused his son, and the person who sent out to arrest his son was the seventh council member who was known to be a good friend of Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron that has been reported and confirmed by the people who hired to investigate the background of the new council,

whos name shocks Head Master Dakath Nerilamin hearing the family name of the seven council members was Hellmane,

stating that he has an encounter with a man who had a family name of Hellmane, and he was a merciless bounty hunter whose exploits were legendary for being excessively brutal and violent, he was unmatched on the battlefield and claimed many lives, but in a twist of fate he was defeated by the Queen's Elite left guard and after years of personal skirmishes with her, he married the emerald female Elven hunter warrior named Roshia Lierin, and gave birth a female child who later became the white assassin named Irles Filri Hellmane,

"sending hired people to kill her or extract information from her would be useless and I heard the Hellmane family was elevated to a noble status upon Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron's request after the Regional Tournament calamity."

"so do you mean there is o hope of gaining my son's freedom!"

"Who told you that I Eirana Fanuilos the most influential person on all the land will let my brother-in-law suffer furthermore,"

"We shall get your son out, but first we need something big to distract them, are you prepared to take this revenge you seek beyond what you can do!"

"yes, anything for my son's freedom!"

"by the way, why thus the Head Master Dakath Nerilamin and

Banneret Eilaira Firsha wish to help a lowly merchant like me?"

"Like you, we just see people get trampled upon by those who are in power,"

"attacking the Hellmane clan would be suicide,!"

"Are they really that strong?"

"do you remember the house of Brythan?"

"yes! The half human half vampire Warlord Jarth Brythan with one thousand strong warriors under his family flag controlled the Thesshire city located west south-west from where they are,"

" yes, the same Brythan family that was attacked and were all killed in a span of three days,"

"They were all killed by the Vandom Ragnar Hellman and his daughter the seventh Council head of Avarel Irles Filri Hellmane,"

"so! As you already notice we have the same target but killing her or attacking her head on won't be easy,"

"We heard this woman is infatuated with a rookie hunter by the name of Ramiel we can use him to lure your target in and secure the information we are looking for!"

"huh! But tracking a rookie is much harder the mere fact he is a nobody certain information and details of that person will never gain traction considering he is just an average person,"

"with no prior history or connections to any major events or individuals. This makes it difficult to piece together a comprehensive profile of the individual, "

"as there is simply not enough information available to do so. However, with the right resources and techniques, it is still possible to track a rookie and gather valuable insights into their background and behaviour."

"but who said we need him to actually be under our custody!"

"In fact, there are various ways, we can just use his information and create a situation where both of our targets reveal themselves without having to physically abduct the hunter. "

"We just need something personal from him and use that item to lure our target in."

"And for assurance, we just need to place a few well-paid mercenaries without question and position all of them with summoning artefacts to create the perfect disturbance!"

"However, we must also consider the potential consequences of such actions. Placing mercenaries without proper vetting could lead to unforeseen complications and even backlash from local authorities. "

"Additionally, relying solely on summoning artefacts may not be enough to guarantee success in achieving our goals. It may be wise to also gather intelligence and establish alliances with key players in the region. This would not only increase our chances of success but also mitigate any negative repercussions toward us,"

"We will supply the high-tier summoning artefacts and just prepare your men to carry out this plan!"

"How many mercenary men do I need to get?"

"My dear friend Haemir Beorhtric, hire as many as you can, you will get your son back, and also kill the person who put your son in jail at the same time. Two birds with one stone!"

"do not worry brother-in-law, I shall provide you with all the help you need for the sake of my nephew's freedom, after two days I shall help you with all of the materials and additional manpower."

"thank you, sister, in law, I shall await your help after two days."

as Haemir Beorhtric went out of one of the mansions that Merchant Eirana Fanuilos owns, the three were left inside the main meeting hall that was luxurious like any other wealthy merchants in the region, the big difference is the artefact devices that were placed within the walls to ensure protection from any unwanted intruders that might soy on them,

and most of the sixty staff and personnel are trained killers, that were equipped with the highest-tier devices that gold can buy, Head Master Dakath Nerilamin ask his fellow member if she was really going to help her brother-in-law and Merchant Eirana Fanuilos laugh and just poured another drink and gave the two a wicked smile,

"I forgot to mention that, the Hellman clan was rumoured to be serving this so-called King of Arcane."

" So Haemir Beorhtric my foolish brother-in-law will be our sacrificial bait, rumours are just rumours, so even if I end up wasting a few of my cards it is perfectly fine, all fingers will point toward him not us."

"What a perfectly delicious scenario for me to exploit!"

Merchant Eirana Fanuilos summons five hooded people who have the ability to be similar to the infamous wraith, with their supernatural powers at her disposal it was the perfect tool for this task.

they could move undetected through walls without protection enchantments, making them an ideal scout for the mission at hand. As it moved through the walls, the four went toward the Royal Guild to gather any physical remnants they could find connected to the hunter's name,

After a few hours of firmly immersing themselves in the guild's surroundings and secretly writing down notes and facial sketches as they roamed the guild undetected,

They were able to locate the room that Ramiel had used before. once it had gathered enough material, the wraith returned to its master and presented Merchant Eirana Fanuilos with the pouch. She carefully examined the contents, looking for any clues that might help her in her plan to entrap their main target.

With a deep breath, she closed her eyes and focused on creating a scent that would lure their target out into the open. She mixed the physical remnants together with some of her own special ingredients and began to work her magic. As she worked, she could feel the power of the scent growing stronger and stronger until it was almost palpable in the air around her. Finally, she was satisfied with her creation and sent out her team to put it to use.
