Lord Shadow

Their movement could no longer be hidden in some places but ironically the World government and the Republic didn’t have the time or the manpower to surveil them and they didn’t really care for those few weak factions went to sail the sea.

They saw it and determine it to be something that does not require their attention

If they share information and learned that the entire seven seas of the world burst into activity, they would not be so calm.

The World Government is trying to establish contact with Pandemonium sending messages only to be obstructed by Sasha telling the representatives of the World Government that Death Monarch is in seclusion.

There is also the matter of the Orvanian. Sith’venar and Sith’venar express their desire to meet Death Monarch.

After all, Death Monarch did just capture Sithulran. The awkward thing was where did Death Monarch send Sithulran?

They at least need to know so that they could be assure that Sithulran would no longer terrorize the Universe in her incessant search for the truth of the Universe.

The Republic on the other hand is sending their men to Pandemonium to seek their High Chancellor.

Ships and sails fluttered wildly in the night. But the ship is fast like lightning and it did not stop even when encountering storms and squalls of water.

As they passed the South Atlantic Ocean they would glance upward and look at the healing sky and they felt awe and fear.

There is still thunder around the South Atlantic Ocean, like an echoes of the battle between the strongest man in the world and the Will that governs it.

Each time these people sail past it they could not help but feel even more fear.

It is why they must attend these meeting. They need to decide their stance now. Anxious, scared, tired all of these emotions only motivates them to sails faster.

Then from the seven sea of the world, they all gathered in Bubble Land. The Broker did not reveal this land to many people and he only reveals it to a select few.

But circumstances changes.

Right now, even the Broker himself felt fear. No one really knows how he looks like other than a few people. But it did not change the fear he felt about Death Monarch.

That is a force capable of destroying any factions he wanted in the world

Pandemonium is now looking bigger and bigger and more threatening than ever at each passing moment and the shadows of the Death Monarch seems to cover the whole world.

There must be some checks and balance

There must be some countermeasure against such force. The Broker made deals and sell information to the worst of the worst.

Knowing Death Monarch personality that detest criminal to the bones how could the Broker not have his heart chilled to the core?

In his fear and panic, he knows that he needs to host the meeting of the century. He was the first one that answered the call and he pick the place.

Hundreds of factions will gather here tonight in Bubble Land to discuss their next course of actions.

Death Monarch wanted to redistribute the world territory. Everyone knows about this. These factions were all out of the running.

Other than a few famous organizations in the world, the faction that will come here tonight were at most at regional influence

Alone, they are insignificant, but gather them all together however, it became a different story.

It is still not enough to contend with the Three Great Powers but at least now they will have some speaking rights.

It is these matter they wanted to discuss tonight among other things.

The secret land is now crowded with people.

Triads and the crime family arrived the first. Next the factions and mercantile organizations. And then mercenaries, assassins, thieves among many others.

As they enter the sea they could see the fragile bubble and the large vast empty land inside.

All of this is underneath the sea which brought astonishment to many people. The moment they enter they could feel the energy in their body seems empty.

They all heard that the bubble any energy from entering in and whoever enters the barrier of bubbles and fall down into the waterless land would be stripped of all of its energy.

But experiencing it is a different matter entirely.

They do not feel weak. It just felt weird and strange as they could not regulate or move their energies that they know is in their body. It is a hard to describe such feeling.

It was like they are normal human…just like before the Fall. There is also a calmness inside it as one could feel their body returning to how it is without the energy.

This land is truly mystery in itself.

They marvel at it and they look at it.

But then as that marvel and awe settled in, they are once again seized by an anxious look as they walked to the large tent that was put up in the center of this vast empty land underneath the sea.

Inside the tent hundreds of factions is already waiting. Sitting on the large round table are some people that people of the underground world knows.

There is the Corleone family of Italy, the Navarra crime family from Mexico, the Yakuzas from Japan, the Bratva, and many others scary looking dude that all emanated bloodlust and violence.

From the other factions there is The Ghost, Dark Star, The Company, Society of the Light and many others.

Some of them are engaged in dark matter while some of them are engaging in monopolizing trade in their respective country

As another person enter, their eyes would ultimately go to the end of that round table.

There, on the focal point of the round table and who everyone would ask for advice is none other than the Grand Researcher.

The Grand Researcher is a mysterious person who is only known fact is that it is the person who head the Order of Thinkers.

William Woodman, the head of the Order of the Golden World approach the Grand Research and hold out his hand.

‘Didn’t think you were a woman’ That was his first word.

The Grand Researcher who was about to shake his hand frowned.

‘Why? Is it such a shocking fact?’

‘No, not really. I just wonder why do you want to lead the Order of Thinkers. They are only old men in your organization. So, I am under the assumption that the leader of such organization must be a man’

hearing this the Grand Researcher laughed.

Then she shakes her hand.

Grand Researcher she said.

‘Oh, we are doing nicknames? Then he said

‘I am Golden Sky’ The Grand Researcher laughed.

‘My name is Helva’

William smile an innocent smile and responded back by saying

‘I’m William, my lady’ he then took a seat beside her. All around the tent, people inside the tent are all discussing with each other. They are criminals talking to other criminal and frowned each time the name Death Monarch is mentioned

Lechers talking to other lechers, greedy merchant speak to each other about trade routes and their conquest of business like it is the most interesting in the world when it is numbers and more numbers.

Killers and assassin mingle together I n some secluded corner and speak in hushed tones while looking at some of the people here with predator like eyes.

Thieves comparing notes and their skills in stealth, lock picking and jailbreaking

Not to mention there is many other types of criminals talking with each other. There doesn’t seems to be an organization within them but they clearly did not mind it as it suits their needs better

William sat beside the Grand Researcher, look into her eyes and in hushed tone ask Helva.

‘So…Death Monarch huh? He got the whole world stirring like someone just lit up a fire under a wasp nest’

Helva nodded with a bitter smile on her face

‘Death Monarch is still a problem after all of these years. You thought he would mellow out but No…he just got to stir up some more shit’

‘We all never thought that he could grow like that’ Helva said as she sighed. William shakes his head and rub his chin

‘Nobody thought humans could possess such powers. I guess we are the idiots’ William offers.

William looked around and asked. He notices a familiar face that is missing in this gathering

‘Where is the League of Freedom? Narleod should be here. Him and that weird Warp and his teleportation ability. I always felt safe when they are here. Are they not invited?’

Helva snorted

They were invited. It took a few second for the words to register it meaning and then something clicked in William mind.

William suddenly widened his eyes.

‘Ah, I get it now. It is not that they couldn’t come. They were invited but they did not want to come? Is that it?’

Helva nodded

Damn, that burns a little. Then William remembers that he heard news that Narleod and Death Monarch meet a few weeks ago.

‘Hmm…did they get something from Death Monarch?’ The Grand Researcher only nodded her head

‘Probably’

‘A slot?’ he asked

Helva nodded.

‘I guess so.’
