Lord Shadow

Chapter 379: The thoughts that they have (4)

‘It is not that I don’t want to tell him. It is that I can’t. Sharing my plans will not do him any good after all. Since he doesn’t understand why I wanted Void gone and why I wanted him to go against him why would I bother telling him something that he won’t understand anyway?’

Sighing Loki then said

‘He would definitely investigate thing about Void first and then if he sees Void as a threat he would settle that person. He might not be able to kill Void. Void maybe is not powerful but he is a loach. Divine Sense don’t really work on him if he doesn’t want to. I just needed time. I needed Time on my side to do some things’

Trisha nodded, though she still doesn’t understand many things about what Loki had planned. Loki then said

‘Tell one of your sister to come out from Nowhere Land and aid me. Try to find any place where Void might hide that thing. That thing is of the utmost priority. Understand?’

Trisha nodded.

‘Is there anything else?’ Trisha asked

‘What?’ Loki ask back looking confused. What else does she expect?

‘It must not be only this’

‘What is not?’ Loki asked back. Trisha shakes her head and then said

‘Do you truly want me to believe that this is the only reason you came back to Pandemonium? There must be other reason right?’

Loki smiles bitterly and he sighed

‘I do have another reason’

‘And?’

‘It is not something you should know’ Trisha sighed and just nodded

‘Fine, keep your secrets. But someday, you had to tell me’ Loki just nodded

‘Maybe. If someday comes’

Trisha nodded. Loki then did not forget to said a few words of advice

‘Remember, whatever you do outside please be cautious. And don’t come to close with Void. He now controls the criminal underworld. If before he demons have eyes and ears all over the world, now he has. Issue a burn notice to any informant that we know is associated with Void. We couldn’t use them anymore. Let the World Government and the Republic settle those rats’

There are just turtles hiding in their shells. What do we have to fear?’ Trisha said. Like Sasha Trisha is in charge of intelligence in Loki secret organization

Loki bitterly chuckles

‘It is a turtle that is desperate. And in desperation people would do stupid things. For the criminal family and the underworld criminal factions, the stupid thing to do right now is being brave. A frightened little turtle hiding in their shell is nothing terrifying for us and even for Pandemonium and the world. But a desperate, fearful turtle might bite you. And once it bites you it will never let go. And if it bites Pandemonium, that would not end well’

‘There will be more blood flowing. Humanity needed a break from wars and bloodshed for a few years. We need to pool our energies and cultivate new powers. And Azief also knows this. Why do you think he let the Prohibition of War and desire to distribute the world regions? He too wanted the world to have a moment of peace. But if the criminal underground does not know their place, then in his anger, Azief might disregard all of that and started another massacre. And the second reason is I don’t want to waste time trying to save you from whatever secret prisons that the criminals underworld has so be careful. So…do your best and don’t get caught doing it’

Trisha smiles and shakes her head. Loki try to sound like he doesn’t care but it is clear to her that Loki cares for her…albeit in his own quirky way.

‘You are more talkative when you are sick’ Trisha said

‘I am always talkative. You just don’t want to hear insightful thoughts all the time so I restrained myself’ Loki said smirking while coughing a bit.

‘Yeah, yeah’ Trisha said.

‘Now go’ Loki waved his hand and a green mist comes out from his hand and envelope Trisha as she was transformed into a raven. She then flies out from the room through the window.

Loki look at the raven and then he smiles a bit before he become solemn again.

He has two objective coming back to Pandemonium. First he wanted to use Azief to cope with Void and get the Orb.

That thing would play an important part during the War of Sovereign. The second was because of Yewa Hafar words.

Yewa Hafar words still echoes in his mind

‘Hahaha. The game is just beginning Loki. We still have a long journey ahead of us. This is after all a long game. And I intend to turn this pawn into a Queen’

It was those words that make Loki think of something.

Yewa Hafar wanted to turn his pawn into a queen. There is a hint in there. The only way for a pawn to become Queen is to infiltrate the opponent area and make it to the end.

It is only then a pawn could transform itself into a Queen and become a powerful chess piece in the game

That means, the pawn that Yewa Hafar is talking about, is infiltrating Pandemonium, or have already been in Pandemonium from the start and was persuaded to join Yewa Hafar cause.

If he knows Yewa Hafar and he does, Yewa Hafar probably make a deal that no one could refuse to persuade that Pawn

He wanted to find that pawn and break it before it is able to become a Queen and threaten the King and the chess game that he had planned.

To be honest both of the objective is important.

The Orb must be found and the Pawn that probably would put a kink into his plan must also be identified

If not Loki could not be at ease with this hidden chess piece still on the game

He sighed

‘Who is it?’ he asks himself as the world outside seems as normal as it did yesterday.

Life seems to move on without knowing a grand chess game of plots, intrigues and schemes are going on all around the world.

Chess pieces are being moved as people will moves forward. But to those who are unsuspecting, today is just like any other.

A life full of struggles with a little slice of happiness and sorrow in between.

Death and life coexisted together in a world where Death is winning….and two people putting their chess pieces on a large chessboard.
