Chapter 686
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

"Who are you?" Once Estelle closed the door behind her, Mei was the first to break the silence.Unfazed by the sharp question thrown his way, Lord Eight directly occupied one of the empty seats at the tea table. His left hand, wrapped in thin Stellarium thread, calmly drummed against the polished wood at a calculated, steady pace."I should be the one asking that. I usually meet with Lady Do-yeon. Who might these two ladies be?"Inwardly frustrated, Mei clicked her tongue. 'Like I suspected, even his voice is masked.' 'Didn't Mother say this meeting would be crucial in figuring out the true identity of Lord Eight?' 'How are we supposed to do that when the man is ridiculously cautious?!'Despite the myriad of frantic thoughts running through her mind, Mei maintained a perfectly composed smile. "My mother was unable to make it this time. She appears to be suffering from spatial vertigo.""Spatial Vertigo huh?" Underneath his dark mask, a cold sneer formed across Lord Eight's lips. 'I

"Are you still pissed?" A faint smile touched Mei's lips as she gracefully poured Seo-yun a cup of hot tea.In response, Seo-yun huffed in deep displeasure. "Is there something going on between you and the First Young Master of House Le Roy?"Mei's brows furrowed as her eyes locked with Seo-yun's suspicious gaze. "What are you trying to imply?""I just find it odd that you gave in to that shameless man a bit too easily. That was unlike you."Although Seo-yun had spent a long time isolated from the world during her training, Mei had often visited to keep her company. Despite their frequent misunderstandings, there was no denying the close bond the two sisters shared.Mei's hand froze. She fluidly lowered the teacup whose rim had nearly touched her lips. "What did you expect me to do?""I.."Mei rolled her eyes in exasperation. "If the First Young Master hadn't done what he did, a conflict might have broken out between House Le Roy and the Merchant Group. Do your really want that?"Seo
