Chapter 688
Unfazed by the sudden outburst, Lord Eight simply countered with a cold, analytical logic. "You said it yourself. The rate of High Tides occurrence in Lonsheng is the highest among the Nine Major Regions.""But.. was that always the case?""You..!" Finally catching the horrifying implications of Lord Eight words, Mei flinched, nearly losing her hold on the teacup trapped between her fingers."It.. It can't be..!" Hands visibly trembling, she dropped the teacup back onto the table with a clatter, a myriad of thoughts racing wildly through her mind.Faintly grasping the context of Lord Eight's words herself, Seo-yun stuttered in a stunned, bewildered stupor. "The rate of High Tides increased drastically.. eight cycles ago.""..Exactly at the time the traitor was given authority over the mining outposts!"The sheer weight of this terrifying realization caused Seo-yun's head to momentarily go completely blank. "You.. Are you saying my Uncle is the reason behind the High Tides?"Lord Eight

"All this transpired in Lonsheng and... nobody bothered to tell me about it?" Seo-yun angrily blurted out once Mei finished recounting the crisis in Lonsheng.Mei responded naturally, her tone perfectly cool. "And what would you have done if we told you while you were undergoing your training, huh?""I—" Seo-yun was caught completely off guard, her chest heaving. "Still, that isn't a good excuse to lie to me!"Mei clicked her tongue, setting her shoulders. "We didn't lie. We merely withheld the truth. There's a difference."'She's truly infuriating!' Seo-yun clenched her jaw. However, as the initial spike of anger receded, she had to admit that she couldn't bring herself to logically blame Mei for what she did.According to what she had just heard, Lonsheng had been suffering from relentless High Tides over the past five cycles. In the whole of the Godsphere, a High Tide was a localized calamity that not even the most powerful Demiurge could fight against.She exhaled sharply, tryin

In the whole of the Godsphere, there were three raw resources that every single Demiurge relied completely on—Death QiNebula StonesHaunt GatesAnd one thing these three fundamental resources shared in common was that they could all be obtained from Danger Zones.In its raw form, a Haunt Gate's sub-biome served as a domain for extra-dimensional creatures known as Fiends. Not only were its residents extremely powerful and dangerous, but Haunt Gates were active generators of negative energy—offshoots of the larger Null Zone, which conversely occupied roughly seventy percent of the Godsphere.And yet, despite the immense danger Haunt Gates posed, the resources extracted from them drove the global economy. For one, esoteric herbs could only thrive inside Haunt Gate biomes. And without those esoteric herbs, it was impossible to refine potions or pills.Contributing roughly three percent to the global economy was House Silva, located in Sesheng, which shared a contiguous mega-continent

However... Lord Eight suddenly held out a single finger, cutting her off. "I didn't tell you this because I want you to interfere with Ha-rin's schemes.""What?!" Mei and Seo-yun both directed confused looks in Lord Eight's direction. "You want us to ignore her?"Seo-yun finally broke her silence, her brow furrowing. "But my Lord, wouldn't that result in her claiming our entire intelligence network in the Great Albiou?"Lord Eight let out a low chuckle that vibrated behind his mask. "Compared to the potential benefits we are bound to reap in the future, that is a minor sacrifice."'I don't get him at all...' Mei silently observed the obscured side profile of the masked figure. Yet, despite her confusion, she ultimately chose to place her trust in his judgment. Reaching this conclusion, Mei asked, "Did you find anything that caught your interest?""...I find the upcoming Grand Hunting Tournament to be rather peculiar." Lord Eight responded, his finger tapping rhythmically again

"My Lord.." Mei finally recovered from her stunned silence. "If you truly anticipated Ha-rin becoming a Consort, I dare say you've also anticipated her betrayal?" Lord Eight reached for the third scroll. "Her first move after becoming a Consort is intelligence filtering." "Intelligence filtering?" Mei arched a brow. "She's going to feed wrong information?" Lord Eight shook his head. "If she wasn't smart about it, yes. However by doing so, she risks revealing her hand too early." "However.." Lord Eight took a brief pause. "The smartest way to go about it isn't by building a network from scratch, but instead recycling an already established network." A small grimace twisted across Mei's lips. She took a small sip from her tea cup. " If our agents were as fickle as you make them out to be, our information network wouldn't have lasted up to this point." Lord Eight remained unfazed. "I do not doubt the loyalty of your agents. However, I do believe in the concept of change. For

Failing intro deep silence, Mei appeared to deeply contemplate over Lord Eight's remarks. She finally moved her lips. "In that case, I'd—" Before she could finish speaking, a voice interjected. "Don't do anything." "Pardon?" Mei gave the masked figure an incredulous look . "What do you mean?" Lord Eight finally dropped the scroll he was reading. "Why do you think I suggested sending Ha-rin to the Great Albiou?" Lord Eight smoothly continued. "The current Great Chancellor of Albiou not only stole the seat of power from his father, he eliminated all his brother as well as his allies who supported him during the coup." "Despite not being the first son of the previous Great Chancellor, he managed to rise to power. He lied, cheated and backstabbed his allies just to become the Great Chancellor of Albiou." "Lady Mei, do you know what kind of person the Great Chancellor is? " voice dripping with amusement, Lord Eight directed this sudden question at Mei. " He's a disloyal thie
