A Demon's Journey

Chapter 356 - The Royal Family Takes Action

After David Valliadis was done slaying the Silent Death Organization's head manager, he began to return towards his palace.

'Fortunately, Father wasn't fooled by this man's talks. Most of what he spoke about that Nightmare Order was utter rubbish.'

David Valliadis had already come into contact with this organization. He already had his men keeping an eye on the core members of this organization.

However, they hadn't moved during the assassination attempt on the Noble Family Heads.

It was actually the Silent Death Organization who moved at that moment. The King wasn't convinced and wanted to get an explanation from the managers of the Silent Death Organization at those particular cities.

But after that conversation, the King realized that they just wanted to fool him even further. Thus, he sent the order to slaughter them.

David was nearby and heard the entire situation. He decided to deal with one of the managers of the Silent Death Organization.

No one doubted his strength and left one of the managers of the Silent Death Organization to him. And he showed that there was no need to doubt him.

The Royal Family soon released a public statement that they had nothing to do with the recently occurred assassinations. In fact, they had found the culprits and executed them.

This announcement startled the Noble Family Alliance. Some were actually happy and appeased at these actions of the Royal Family.

They had actually also suspected that someone had taken their personal vengeance while blaming the Royal Family for the deed. They got the feeling that they had been fooled by someone.

This annoyed them to quite some extent. The Royal Family had their own moles within the Noble Family Alliance and knew exactly which Noble Families had been appeased by their actions.

They selected a couple of these Noble Families and secretly struck a deal with them. This basically brought them closer to the Royal Family.

At the least, the Royal Family was sure that they wouldn't suggest anything against them in the upcoming Noble Family Alliance Meeting.

About the others, the Royal Family couldn't be sure of yet.

Meanwhile, Bianca and Josephine were absolutely startled by the King's actions. They never imagined that the king would act so swiftly.

They were a little unsure whether he knew about their involvement or not. He was the sovereign, after all.

A couple of days passed, but it didn't seem like the king was taking any action against them. They were sure that if the king knew of their involvements, he would try to test them or take some action against them.

But nothing of that sort occurred, so they were safe for now.

However, the king's decisiveness told them that it would be difficult to conduct such a plan. He was sure to be more alert to these kinds of attacks now.

The two women informed Azaroth of this change.

Azaroth heard about this and told them to stay on hold. They didn't need to do anything for now.

The situation in the Sinyalian Kingdom was tense, exactly the way he wanted it.

He then sent an order to Josephine, "Investigate Tronte's background for me."

Josephine naturally responded to his order with an affirmation. She was hypnotized to act as she was ordered. Declination was not something she was capable of.

Meanwhile, he asked Bianca to prepare some things. The people in the capital seemed to have lived a comfortable life.

Nearly all basic facilities and other things were available in the city, and they didn't need to do anything laborious.

He was going to have Bianca spread a vicious disease in the capital. The blame was naturally going to fall on the Noble Family Alliance.

Edwin had enough contacts within each Noble Family that he knew what brought fame to a respective Noble Families.

For instance, if a Noble Family was famous due to growing particular herbs, he knew exactly what herbs those were.

This kind of thing was actually quite easy to find out. You just had to have some contacts among the civilians of that territory. The civilians had heard of enough rumors and information about the lord ruling them.

He was planning to use these herbs to create a reign of terror among the civilians. However, this wouldn't be activated now.

These would act as seeds of chaos for the future. They would activate exactly when Azaroth wanted.

"Do you have some contacts within the Alchemy Association?" He asked Bianca.

"I think I can manage," Bianca responded quite quickly.

"Cool. Then ask them to concoct you exactly as the recipe states. You will receive the recipe in a couple of minutes," Azaroth informed Bianca with a cold tone.

Bianca knew that she had to summon an alchemist here and ask him to concoct this poisonous liquid in some empty space. That wouldn't be hard since every family tried to keep their alchemy recipe a secret.

They would normally have the alchemist concoct the thing in a mysterious place.

The more difficult task would be to shut the mouth of that Alchemist. This meant that Bianca had to choose an alchemist with many attachments to his familial bonds or had other weaknesses.

If she chose an alchemist that valued his moral integrity over his life or the lives of his family, then she would be screwed.

Fortunately, there were a lot of alchemists who possessed a lot of attachments. So, she would be covered in that regard.

The Alchemist had to continue concocting that poisonous liquid for her. Keeping that entire process and product hidden from the public eye would be the hard part.

However, Bianca soon found a solution for that.

She was going to have that Alchemist kidnapped. In return for his freedom, he would have to remain in a secretive place for the next 3 years and had to concoct poison for her.

Naturally, he couldn't ask her what she was going to use it for. And after his three years are up, he would be freed, and they would have nothing to do with each other.

Bianca had a target in her mind soon enough. It was a middle-aged Alchemist who was rising through the ranks quite quickly.

His name was Liam Parker. Bianca knew that this man was a 4 Star Warrior and held the capability to create 5 Tier Pills. There were rumors that he also had concocted poison, so Bianca felt he was up to the task.

This man had two kids and a beautiful wife. If she used his family, she was sure she could get him to do whatever she wanted.

In the meantime, Azaroth had already reached Tiana's location.

Tiana was waiting for Azaroth along with her entire team of 9 women, including Helena.

Helena needed to gain combat experience as well. She had been practicing the ice techniques all alone while Tiana was gone.

Currently, two sisters were left behind at the Scared Ice Aurora Valley Sect. After much consideration, Tiana felt it would be best to leave the sect to them.

Two Frozen Spirit Foxes had also remained behind to protect the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect while the rest moved together with Tiana and her team.

Naturally, Tiana's personal pet was coming along with her. When Azaroth reached the location, the women were startled to see such a handsome man.

They never imagined that their true leader was so gorgeous and so young.
