NovelEnglishAfter Shun informed the King about that terrifying possibility, he was absolutely startled to hear the following words from the king.
"Inquisitor Fox, are you going mad? Were you not present at the location when this Demon died? Were you not the first one to report to me that the body was no longer breathing?!" King Valliadis yelled at Shun.
"However, now you say that this demon god not only survived, but he has already escaped into another kingdom. You request me to send a team of Inquisitors inside the Glerian Kingdom to deal with this demon god?"
He took a short pause as he stared at Shun's ice-cold look. King Valliadis grimaced as he saw the somber expression on Shun's face, "…You will be punished for your attempt to intimidate me with your delusion."
"Delusion, huh? So, this is what you believe, King Valliadis," Shun whispered softly. He perfectly understood the King's point of view.
"I shall make myself scarce now," He turned around and left the Royal Palace.
However, Shun would be lying if he said he didn't feel any goosebumps right now. This was the first time someone had outsmarted him like this. It was usually him outsmarting others.
The task he had to undertake was one he had pledged himself a long time ago.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven for a single second, he hadn't forgotten those two murders. The murders changed his very perspective about life and ultimately changed his path!
It was Earl Nathan who murdered his teacher due to Shun's carelessness. Meanwhile, a descendent of the Duncan House had killed Shun's best friend.
Shun initially joined the Inquisitor to dive into the King's closest circle. He wanted to form his connections with those individuals and then take any real action.
Regrettably, the king was even warier than Shun had anticipated. It had gotten to the point where Shun had only seen one cabinet minister out of a total of thirteen.
However, Shun didn't really care about these ministers. He merely wanted to gather enough information, power, and connections, to deal with these Noble Houses.
And Shun believed that he now possessed the threshold strength and connections to act against the Noble Houses.
Moreover, he had noticed a trend recently.
The Noble Houses' rebellious campaign against the King was gaining momentum.
Shun had an ice-cold look that radiated nothing but a chilling killing intent.
Marquis Jonas held Shun in high esteem. There were very few people in the Sinyalian Kingdom who terrified him. And Shun belonged to that category.
He had personally witnessed Shun creating the plan to entrap a Demon God! Even though the Demon God possessed myriad abilities and a cunning personality, he was still captured by Shun.
However, Marquis Jonas wasn't a random noble. He was terrified of Shun, yes. But that didn't mean he hadn't prepared any means to deal with Shun.
Marquis Jonas had his own secrets. He was sure that even Shun would be completely caught off-guard by those secrets.
When Marquis Jonas heard that Shun wanted some information about the Noble Houses Alliance, he was only slightly shocked.
He had been expecting this for quite some time. It surprised him that Shun waited so long to contact him.
This indicated that the King didn't actually feel any real pressure from this Noble Family Alliance. Marquis Jonas instantly concluded that the King probably had many individuals spying on this Noble Family Alliance. The King was confident that the situation was completely under his control.
Thus, the King hadn't acted yet. It was due to this reason that Marquis Jonas kept a low presence within the Noble Family Alliance. There was no way to know which family was acting as the King's spies.
However, today, Shun had contacted him to request information within the Noble Family Alliance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarquis Jonas instantly concluded that Shun wasn't doing this on the King's orders. It was acting personally.
If it was on the King's orders, Shun would have been notified of the inside intelligence personally by the King.
Naturally, Shun had anticipated that Marquis Jonas would reach this conclusion. He knew that Marquis Jonas was definitely going to help him.
He would not refuse such a wonderful opportunity of becoming Shun's ally.
As Marquis Jonas informed him of the inside information, a solemn expression appeared on Shun's face.
In reality, Shun missed something crucial. He missed Piero, the advisor of the Lewis Family's leader.
Piero had managed to convince his brother that it was the perfect opportunity to create this rebellious organization. Naturally, Piero used some lies and half-truths to convince his brother.
His brother was skeptical at first, but he was aware of Piero's personality. Piero was even more cautious than him.
If Piero advised him on something, it was most likely supposed to succeed. This allowed him to trust Piero blindly at this point.
However, he had no idea that Bianca was the one guiding Piero. Due to Piero's lust and love for Bianca, he blindly followed her commands. He had even attacked the eighth prince of the Sinyalian Kingdom!
There was no backing out now!
