Tap! Tap!Tap!Tap!
Inside a wide corridor leading down the hall, the only sound that resounded was the sound of the fat guy walking through the path.
The fat in their stomach swayed left and right as he walked around which made many looks at him with disgusted gazes.
On the way, many guards saw him and raised their eyebrows as this might be the first time they had seen this fat pig in such a hurry.
This pig wasn't as fat as it was now. He was once a capable warrior but over time, due to arrogance and pride in staying in his position, he became lazy to the point that his body had accumulated tons of fat.
The fatty, after walking a long distance and covered in sweat, reached the end of the path and stood before a huge chamber guarded by strong Knights.
"General Shen, what's the matter?"
"You look very happy now?"
"Did something happen?"
"Hahaha! You can think of something along those long lines," Shen spoke with a wide grin.
"I want to discuss something with His Highness. So please inform him about it."
The Knights squinted their eyes and shook their heads. They didn't pry any further and one of them went in to report.
After five minutes, the guard returned and said"You can go inside."
"Thanks!" Shen muttered and stepped inside.
Shen saw Hex sitting on the table while writing something.
Hex stopped doing his work for a moment and raised his brows as he noticed Shen's elated expression.
His body seemed to be screaming with happiness for some reason.
"What brings you here?" Hex asked while squinting his eyes.
Shen bowed his head and spoke.
"Your Highness, I have brought good news."
"Alex is dead!"
Silence engulfed the place after Shen spoke.
Shen noticed Hex staring at him with a blank expression but if one looked closer, one could notice Hex's lips are slightly curved upwards.
Since Shen was quite close to him, he was naturally able to perceive it but for a moment he was surprised and as well as confused.
Because Hex seemed to be happy but he wasn't surprised.
'Shouldn't he be surprised and ask me how and why it happened?'
'Why is he just simply staring at me?'
'Maybe he hadn't heard me or thought this was a joke?'
Cough...Cough...
"Your Highness, Alex is..."
Shen was cut off in the middle as Hex spoke while getting up from his seat.
"I heard it loud and clear. Alex is dead."
"But are you sure about that?"
"Have you seen his dead body or have anything that proves that?" Hex asked while staring sharply at Shen.
"Your Highness there had been a battle going on with Arkham. Alex was stopping them at the Terror of Ranvier. The battle was suddenly interrupted by third-party interference. The nobles and other troops fled on getting the signal."
"My sources after inquiring about them went to the battle scene and there has been nothing left."
"Even Arkham forces had been wiped out and there aren't any corpses left. From the traces of the attack left behind. We inferred that it was the work of the Supreme rank individual."
"And there also seem to be some demons spotted in the vicinity."
Hex's body stiffened as he heard the details. His expression was distorted.
"All the forces of Arkham had been wiped out and you even noticed demons?" Hex spoke with a weird gaze.
Shen was perplexed for a moment on noticing Hex's hollow gaze.
He wanted to say that Hex was focusing on the wrong things again.
Instead of being curious about the Supreme rank, he was more interested in Arkham soldiers and some minor demons
"Yes, according to the reports The Arkham forces were led by the Second Prince of Arkham Noah Ark and he had led 240000 forces to take over the Western Territory. I don't know how many of them were killed by Alex and his men but I am sure the attack by the Supreme rank decimated the majority of them."
"The whole Terror of Ranvier had been cleared by his attack and the earthquakes extended even towards the Western Territory and could be felt from a distance of 500 kilometres."
"It had alerted many Kingdoms."
"After that, we saw a group of demons but naturally we have taken care of them, they seem to be some minor scouts."
The more Hex heard, the more his expression worsened.
His mood was a mess as he felt something had gone wrong.
Cause what was the target of the other party?
To wipe out Arkham soldiers or to wipe out Kinley forces or both.
And the appearance of demons can't be overlooked.
"Shen makes a detailed report and sends it to the Imperial Father. Also, say that the channels hadn't been working due to the enemy interference and we hadn't known about the Arkham empire. Silence the witness if there is any."
"Make it quick. If you don't do something quickly, a third party would take this opportunity." Hex ordered Shen and gave him a series of commands.
"And especially make sure to report about Demons. Don't underestimate those vulgar creatures."
Shen noted all of this at the back of his mind.
"Now leave."
Shen hesitated for a moment and asked"Your Highness since Alex is dead can I deal with the other one."
"No!"
Shen's request was met with a stern refusal.
"You and your obsessions. We can't waste time on that. After we achieve our goals, we can take out the trifle later."
Shen nodded with a sorrowful gaze and left.
Hex walked towards the bookshelf after Shen exited and pulled out a book and took out a piece of paper from it.
Pondering for a moment, he wrote something on it.
He walked towards the window and threw it out.
Swish!
A shadow flashed by and the paper suddenly disappeared.
"It seems I have been played," Hex spoke with an uncanny smile.
