"Mayor Siegbert, you really know how to act. You could have won an actor award. Tenel, as expected, it is you pulling the string. We had to make the kids do the investigation to lower your guards and let you all come out, but we didn't expect that you wouldn't appear at the place that the association had expected," said Argam with a chuckle.
Tenel and Siegbert turned silent for a moment.
Then a smile appeared on Siegbert's face. "I thought it was a perfect set-up. How did you find me?"
"There was something wrong with Enberg City during the last incident in Rusvel. Someone powerful in the city was helping Felix and Henry. They had different identities, but they were able to change it in this city. Although we took down the network that helped them do it, that network should not be possible to become unnoticed without someone powerful to cover it. Felix should not know who is exactly helping them, but the information he had should be crucial that could lead to you, so you made Emet kill them when a call for help in Rusvel reached your ears.
Benson's Family is not powerful enough to help cover the network set up by demons and order a Tier 2 exonn. There were signs of activities of demons and rogue beings outside the city. It's as if they were saying that they were there. With the demon's craftiness, they should be carefully hiding their tracks, unless they want to be found out to direct our attention. The last incident in Rusvel should also be included in the plan. Why will they want to attract our attention? We didn't know that, so we let you all come out to direct us to your plan."
Then Argam looked at the three new condominiums that were not too far from each other. "It's those buildings. You don't want the blueprint to become public, so it had to be made through the donations of businessmen. Charles is just your chess piece. You helped him rise. The big amount of money to build the condominiums came from the money given by the demons. According to a construction worker, beneath the ground, the pathway on the side of the drainage is a huge circle that encircles the three condominiums.
With the help of a demon with earth magic, that circle could turn into something. Something that could extract souls. The soil that was dug should already be placed over the concrete pathway and carved with magic runes. The pillars should already be made with bloodstones on their top, and the center of the circle should have a pillar with a crytal that can store souls."
Tenel clapped his hands with a chuckle. "It is quite amazing that you found out our plan, but you shouldn't have wasted your time telling it to us. Now, you are too late to stop it."
Oom! A red light rose from the ground where the three condominiums were standing.
Argam smiled. "It isn't a waste of time. We just bought enough time."
BOOM! There was a strong explosion, then the red light faded.
Tenel and Siegbert looked shocked.
A while ago, Hosman and Vilret were standing in the dark shadow, near the entrance to the drainage.
"Are the demons going to keep their promise after our work in this world?" asked Vilret.
Hosman smiled. "I know Agon, who Tenel worked for. He is crafty and vicious, but why are there beings working for him? It's because he could keep his promise. There are probably many of us who are hired,and whoever made the best performance later will be brought to another world that is not going to be invaded by the demons and help us build our own kingdom or territory."
Vilret chuckled. "I know the risk of going here in this world is very high, and we might not even return alive, but damn! That Agon really knows how to tempt us. It makes me feel excited, just by thinking about it. By the way, why did they tell us to kill the tier one exonn guarding this place?"
"Well, I know that I am smart, but I still can't tell the exact mind of the demons," said Hosman. Then they noticed shadows that were approaching.
Bastien, Egon, and Rupert showed up.
Bastien stared at Hosman, who looked shocked. What Rhys told him flashed in his mind.
"Bastien, demons employ the other races, not just because they lack manpower, but because they want to destroy the trust and relationship between earthlings and other races. If they succeed in their plan and let it spread to the whole world, the amount of anger that the earthlings will feel is huge. The harmonious relationship that the federation and other races that have worked hard to build will be destroyed. You have to be there, you have to be a hero, Bastien."
Bastien remembered the first time that he came to Mugwer. He was trying to sell. He felt hungry and could not sell his goods.
At that time, Hugo approached Bastien and gave him free food. He smiled and said,"There are many ways to earn on Earth. I could not believe that a being like you who looks very strong will willingly and patiently sell. I wonder what kind of food you will make with a character like yours. Are you willing to try?"
Bastien's eyes were getting firmer as he remembered the fun of learning under Hugo and interacting with customers who belonged to different races and worlds. The harmony in the food street flashed in his mind. His height became higher until he became four meters tall. "Hosman, Earth is my second home. You will pay for daring to touch it."
Hosman chuckled as his height was also getting taller. "Bastien, you will know the price of abandoning the true nature of our race, which is battle!"
Both the giants dashed toward each other.
Vilret also moved.
Splash! Rupert appeared near Vilret. His katana sword was rapidly moving to the man's neck.
