Chapter 70 - The Uncertain Future: An Imminent War?



"You've called my lady?" Two people entered the family mansion.

Roughly all of the influential members of the Battlesuin family were present in the grand hall. 

In this place, two members came forward. One of them was the head of the branch family and the other, his son- Blaze.

The family head- Hyora battlesuin didn't say a word and walked closer to the two.

Silence prevailed. Everyone was anxious. 

"I once gave a similar order to your wife and she failed. What about you?" Hyora's voice reached far. There wasn't a spec of hostility in her conduct and yet, some of the members were shaking. 

The man's eyes opened wide and he sighed. "You wish for my son's death?" His voice was deep and it was almost as though he was pained a little. 

"He disobeyed my direct orders." Hyora's smile didn't falter. Her mature, eyelashes created an image of a lovely lady, but only people closest to her, knew of the demon lurking within those lashes. 

Blaze's father stood, turned to his son, and glared. He was about to murder his son without a second thought. 

He could always make another son but if he disobeyed a direct order here, he won't have a life left. He wasn't stupid like his wife after all. "I told you to stay put but you didn't listen." Lightning surged in the hands of the man. Strong powerful yellow lightning. 

He'd killed before and though he's hands were shaking, he had to this. His survival mattered more than the survival of his son. His own life mattered more than his feelings.

"Fa-father!" Blaze fell on his back, raising his hands up. 

"Unnecessary." Hyora walked towards the shivering boy on the floor, closing in on the distance in a second. She touched his cheeks, still wearing her smile. "There's no need to be afraid, child. Why did you enlist the help of those vermin?" Her voice was low and like honey.

"I-I thought they'd get the job done without dirtying our name." Blaze gave an honest answer. 

His voice shook and he couldn't think straight.

"I see." Hyora smiled, eyes closed. 

Blaze felt relieved, he was shaking, sweating, and breathing too rapidly. But he felt relieved. 

'She might be more understanding-'His thoughts were left unfinished.

And a second later, he didn't feel anything anymore. 

His head wasn't attached to his torso. 'I'm dead?' 

Just like that? The thought went through his mind but it was too late. Everything was too late. 

Blaze's lifeless head and torso slithered on the floor, staining everything in crimson red. 

Blaze's father looked away, emotionless. 

"Anthony?" Hyora glanced forward, smiling as usual. There wasn't a single stain on her blue one-piece dress. 

"Yes, my lady?" One of the members of the main family- Anthony was right behind Blaze.

"You may use this corpse."

"Thank you, my lady. I'll make good use of this vile thing. We're very close to the breakthrough."

Hyora turned to the rest of the members, satisfied. "The same goes for you. If you should rebel," Everyone bowed, without a second of delay. 

There was only one true leader of the Battlesuin family. And everyone had only one feeling for her. 

Fear.                      

But one man didn't bow. He was walking towards Hyora, covered in sweat, shirtless. He had a shirt in his hands but he didn't feel the necessity to wear it.

His skinny body was nourished and his beard was cut. He didn't look like on the verge of death anymore.

"Oh, don't you look great?" Hyora turned around. 

The man didn't say a word and just walked past Hyora. 

Hyora just smiled. She already owned the man's soul after all. "We're going to war."

"Suit yourself." The man didn't look back and just went on.

"The killboyz invaded Demigrace!" A man shouted on top of his lungs, still seated in his chair.

There were two people in a room. There weren't any sounds other than the air conditioner. 

"Yes, the official report says Headmaster Roger Vermilion drove them away after a brief fight which laid waste to the gym." His attendant was fairly confident in his approach. He just stood by his boss, looking all cool and dignified.

"Two of the strongest men alive, had a fight and you're telling me the island wasn't destroyed?"

Meek light entered through the window. This room was high, very high in the sky. In fact, it was floating atop the clouds. 

"Yes, and we believe it was because those two never actually fought."

"What do you mean?" The man supported his head with both of his hands. This was big news and all of his brain cells were saying the same thing.

"From our intel, Helio Romswell Julio's son is at that academy. He is known as the cursed mask I believe." The attendant made tea. "And he was the one who fought Devrok to a draw. At least that's what our contact told us."

"Really? Do we have more infor-"

"Unfortunately we don't even have his face yet. Of course, we are working on that." The attendant lied the tea on the table and sighed. "Of course, these are just rumors and we couldn't confirm anything. The draw however seems more implausible than anything else."

"Good, good. This is grand news." The man took a sip of the tea.

'This is too sweet.' He almost wanted to spit the tea back up, but he kept on taking sips. 

"I also have another report, sir."

"Yes?" Done with the tea, the man lied it back on the table. 

"The Battlesuins… and the Romswell are…" The attendant hesitated for a second. "This is a very vague intel…. We think they might be going to war."

Sweats surfaced on the boss's forehead but a grin surfaced as well. "We have the perfect cover story for tomorrow then."

The attendant also grinned. For some reason, he really liked his boss. He always felt at ease around him. So when his boss was happy, he was also happy.

"This news will shake the world!" The man stood up, spread his arms towards the heavens. " 'The prodigy of a prodigy, and the imminent war?' Don't you think that'll make an excellent front-page!!?"

This man was very notorious for deciphering the world's secrets. He was also the founder of the News and Conspiracy Co. Inc, a news company run by world villains.

"Of course sir." The attendant gave a courtly bow and started to make another batch of tea.

'Is this kid trying to give me diabetes or something?' Of course, the boss didn't say it out loud. The attendant was his illegitimate son after all. Though the son himself wasn't aware of the fact.
