Once the bandits were safely on their way to Lilith's mansion. Rex and Strom God left. Their journey to Lilith's mansion with an opened portal was smooth until the yelling of Lilith wondering why such means of betrayal was happening in Diablo's territory.
"Better just relax while I can." Rex thought.
He quietly went to the living room and sat down. The moment his eyes closed.
"REX! IF YOU HAVE COME BACK HURRY TO MY OFFICE!" Lilith called.
Rex wanting to spend more time downstairs decided to just get the deed done now. He went to her office and saw her frustration.
"What is wrong?" Rex asked.
He already had heard what she yelled before. There was no need to worry about what she was going to say at first.
"Diablo sent a spy into the bandit network. Come to find out, the giant demon whom we killed is just one of ten bandit lords.
There is two more demon bandit lords, three human bandit lords, and four that are currently in the Heavenly Realm due to their advancement.
So we have to kill the ten and prepare for the other four. The problem is that each Realm above the Mortal Realm is vastly expansive. There are plenty of hiding locations that even most spies do not know of.
So what will we do about that?" Lilith growled angrily.
"Nothing. Because there is nothing we can do about them, currently." Rex responded.
Lilith was caught off guard. She did not think that this was the right answer.
"So we killed a bandit lord. The others will take it as he screwed up and the armies joined together to wipe them out. As far as the knowledge that some lived as part of my army probably will not be known unless they spill the beans themselves and whoever did or does will die."
Lilith listened with careful attention. Rex's words made perfect sense. Something seemed off to her.
"What would happen if we tried to separate the bandits into spies and sent them to the different bandit lords?"
"Everything will naturally fall into place. That is my goal, train the bandits into decent spies that are under my command and send them to the other major bandit groups and allow all of the bandits to either perish or be collected at once.
Will bandits still exist? Yes. One man or woman will always be unhappy with whatever they are given. That in turn will bring bandits back into existence.
The difference being that a small group will be dealt with by small towns and kingdoms. Larger groups or underground bandits all need to be dealt with while I am in the Mortal Realm because that will keep them under control."
Lilith agreed with that. Mara listened carefully to what Rex was saying and was ready to begin her training in becoming a master spy for Rex.
She entered the room while Rex and Lilith watched in amusement as she walked in and had a smug smile on her face.
"I am here to train as a spy for you. I will personally deliver the bandits to you." Mara's smugness was off the chart.
"Hahahaha" Rex laughed.
Lilith found it funny as well but did not laugh.
Mara did not think that this would go as funny as she thought it was.
"Just worry about controlling your innate abilities from Strom God and your mother. I already heard from Lilith how you acted."
Mara blushed hard but was glad that Rex was not mad or upset.
As the night went, Mara was training hard with her father. Strom God trying to master his emotions and understand the storms better. Mara trying to master the bloodline she controls and be able to use it better and effectively.
Mara took this training seriously and made sure to rest after midnight. Strom God led Mara to her room and helped her rest. As he continued to become better with his storms.
Nothing truly made him understand why his storms were not as powerful now. He might have figured it was due to his emotions but that has not been the case.
He continued to learn about the storms and how they function with him. He would be surprised when he truly finds out about the history of the storms.
