"What did you just say?" The leader of the Althea branch of the Dark Devil Church asked, slamming his fist on the arm of his dark throne.
"My lord, we couldn't get the Atomic Divine Body because some people beat us to it. We lost all our men and only escaped thanks to the life-saving treasure you gave us."
The three Root Great Sages deployed by the Dark Devil Church in the Althea Kingdom to investigate Lady Sandra's death and hunt down Li Hua, who possesses the Atomic Divine Body constitution, were now kneeling before their lord.
Initially, when they left Caprath City to report their failures, they planned only to mention the emergence of a new Underworld organization that prevented them from obtaining the Atomic Divine Body.
However, knowing that wouldn't hold much weight, they shifted the blame onto their new competitors. Perhaps this would buy them a lifeline or two.
