............"All right, now let's begin...!" The leader gestured to the others to be silent before he turned serious, speaking with a deep, hollow look in his eyes. The room fell silent as they prepared to discuss serious matters."I gathered you here today because I want to ensure there are no mistakes in our mission. I need to finalize if any of you have encountered any problems or if your tasks are going smoothly," the leader addressed everyone, giving an observant glance at each of the six others present in the room."I'm good. I don't think I'll have any problem pulling off my part of the plan," a man dressed in a street punk style said coolly, with a smug look on his face."Hmm... your task requires you to blend in with the locals and form a group of rebellious children to use their influence to cause commotion when the time comes, right?" the leader nodded as he spoke, looking at him."Correct... and for that, I've already created a group of 400 naive teenagers, and I keep i
............"Trash... tsk...!" A minute later, Eirik spat at their corpses before clicking his tongue in annoyance as his beast enjoyed the fresh quality food.He returned to the mansion and reported to his mother that he was done cleaning up the trash.Just before he could feel smug about destroying a small group of people, a hurried servant entered the hall with worry written on his face."High Druidess... High Druid... There are multiple attacks happening from the north and east of our territory. It's a mess out there. Please give me your orders!" The servant reported as he bowed, asking for permission to deploy the main troops of their family, who had yet to move against anyone."What... damn it... do we look like we're easy pickings?" Eirik Everglen angrily cursed upon hearing the news."Now who has grown balls to attack my territory? Do they think I won't retaliate in fear of organizations? Hahahaha... Eirik, go and make them pay for daring to make a ruckus in our territory."
............"Hmmn, I'm already on it, and can provide you with them anytime you need. My family is expert in Half-Divine Tools, so incorporating their concept into normal weapons isn't a problem. I'm sure that even if the power won't be the same as Half-Divine Tools, any normal warrior can wield them," Thaddeus Lumara nodded as he relayed the good news, which made Pope Aurelius and others happy to hear.Last time, Pope Aurelius asked him to prepare a few hundred sets of normal weapons with the might of half-divine tools. This got him thinking about developing weapons that incorporated the concept of half-divine tools to some extent.What's even better is that you don't need high affinity or talent to wield those weapons; instead, anyone can wield them as long as they have some degree of strength."I am impressed, Lord Lumara. You have come up with such a crazy idea. As you know, equipping these weapons to our men would let them display ten times the efficiency as before!" Rajendra C
............"This is..." Pope Aurelius's expression turned to shock as he read the details mentioned in the report."We were shocked too when we got these results, your grace. It's an understatement to say that those three traitors didn't just corrupt all of them," Cardinal Serena said, noticing Pope Aurelius's reaction."Sigh... I had expected something, but not this much. More than half of our members got expelled, and this is going to create several issues later," Pope Aurelius sighed, stopping his stare at the reports before handing them back to the Cardinals. He looked sadly towards the Statue of God Elandor.He came and sat down in front of the statue, feeling disheartened as he remembered how he had sacrificed his youth to help many members in their organization, only for them to betray his hope and lose their faith in their God Elandor.If it were just in the capital, he wouldn't be this disheartened, as this happened in all other cities of the Realm of Elandor.The Crystal
............"I'm exhausted, but there's no choice. Luckily, I was able to create this," Aarav said with a wry smile as he stretched his body and looked out of his office at the bustling hall.He glanced at the herbal medicine he had created, which had saved him from exhaustion and allowed him to work tirelessly for three days straight. Only two weeks remained before the time limit he had set for Astrid's mother expires, and he was determined to save her at any cost."Hmm, what can I do..." Aarav pondered, feeling at his wit's end as he glanced at the holographic screen in the corner of his eyes.[Healing Count: 18660]Just then, a knock sounded on his office door, and a staff member entered."Boss, there are a few patients who need your care," the staff member informed Aarav."Alright, let's go," Aarav nodded, gesturing that he was coming along."Alright, let's get back to work for now," Aarav muttered to himself, shaking his head as he left his office and entered a smaller hall whe
............"I'm fine, really...please calm down," Asher Von reassured his parents, his expression filled with helplessness. "And Dad, why are you staring at me like that? I've told you countless times that I'm cured and completely fine.""Hmmn, I'm not convinced. How can I believe that the doctor wasn't a fraud and maybe he didn't do anything and just scammed you? We need to get checked at Hope Medical Center," Felix Von said skeptically. He didn't believe his son's words about a doctor with such miraculous skills.He thought his son might have been duped by a scammer who took advantage of his weakness to make a profit."Please, Father. Can you not sound so rude in front of me? And for your information, Dr. Earl Hughes also works there, and he seems to respect Mr. Veridian very much," Asher Von said, looking at his father with a slightly annoyed expression before explaining further.He also mentioned Earl Hughes's name, which had become quite famous recently for his contributions i
............"Huh... Son, what's the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Sorry... I was just having fun. It's been a while since I drove such a nice car!" Harsha Von turned back to her son, her tone playful as she looked at his funny expression."Ugh... please, just drive normally, Mom," Asher groaned, giving his mother a pleading look as he felt his stomach churn and the urge to throw up."Okay, okay," Harsha Von said, feeling satisfied with teasing her son, and she started driving more calmly.Before long, they arrived at Morning Pearl Lake."Wow... this is..." Felix Von and Harsha Von both felt surprised by the beauty of the lake. They remembered it as a place that had lost its splendor long ago, but now they were seeing a scene so beautiful that they wanted to spend some time just admiring it."Mom, Dad, come on, let's go. We can come back later to enjoy this wonderful scene," Asher urged, glancing at the time and realizing they might miss Mr. Veridian if they didn't
............"Father, why did you change your attitude in front of Dr. Veridian? I thought you suspected he was a scammer and we were being tricked. Huh... Father," Asher Von glanced at his father with a disbelief look, before asking with a hint of playfulness."What are you talking about? When did I say he was a scammer? I only meant it as a possibility, and now that we've met him, how can such a gentle-looking man who cares about others' well-being be a scammer?" Felix Von said with admiration on his face."Huh...!" Asher Von was speechless at his father's change of tone."You are right, dear. I also noticed that most of the patients didn't pay the treatment fee at all," Harsha Von nodded as she agreed with her husband. She also mentioned something she noticed on their way while they were observing the staff."Actually, Mother, most of the patients who come here to get treated are from the countryside, and Mr. Veridian offers those poor people free treatment," Asher Von added, reca
