Lord Shadow

Chapter 644: The sword descend and the snow falls (3)

The great figures of the World Government are all in there inside that Meeting right now.

the reason why the runner asked is none other than to make sure the news that he is about to tell is something important.

They are all colleagues.

The runner did not want to lose his job and more importantly he did not want to lose his life. Who knows the minds of the powerful?

If he is to barge in to the Meeting Room, he must have some earth shaking news that would make those people views the news more important than his life.

The big matters in the eyes of the runner and the people of Secret Observatory might be a small thing in the eyes of the titanic figures of the World Government.

And small things in the eyes of those people eyes means it is not a matter at all.

The people of the Secret Observatory nodded and then walk away, leaving the runner looking at the octagon node on top of his hand. He touched the rune in the middle of the octagon and then information streamed inside his mind.

He saw the open skies and he saw the stars and planets of a different galaxies. And he felt the energy that the energy reading room had detected.

Then he saw it.

And he broke out from the memories replay. His face is grim and pale and his hand is trembling.

‘That person’ he muttered under his breath

He nodded

‘This is enough to save my life. This is more than enough’ he said as he quickly run up the long stairs of the Meeting Room.

The door seems so close but he did not know the moment that he runs up those white marble stairs the Secret Service that is watching the Meeting Room are all alerted.

There is a reason no shots were fired, no sword light was released and no attack order was issued.

Because the runner had the banner of the globe which is shining brightly.

The runner is from the Foreign Relations department.

And these secret service, these secret guards all see the people from the Secret Observatory handed something to that runner.

These guards are not stupid.

They know this is some important matters. Since even the Secret Observatory comes out and now a person from the Foreign Relation department comes out, it means something big must have happened.

So, they hesitated. And that hesitation turns into stillness

With a glance they know the runner would not be capable to retaliate even the two guards stationed outside the door of the Meeting Room

Since they know such a thing, why would they move? They waited while their eyes look coldly.

The guards saw the runner and the moment the runner was about to come a foot near the door, the guards rested their hands on the handle of their blade and the runner stop

He looks at the two guards and gulped. These two guards are wearing golden armor and their aura of power emanates around them

Their eyes are cold and their face shows no expression.

‘The Golden Division of the Earthshaker army!’ The runner thought to himself.

He is a runner for the Foreign Relation department but he is also a messenger of the Foreign Relation departments.

Theoretically, his rank is higher than these two guards.

If they were any ordinary soldiers that is.

But they are the soldiers of the Golden Division belonging to Earthshaker Raymond. And he is not angry because he knows how important this meeting was.

If this was any normal days and only normal events happens today, then even he had ten time more bravery than today., he would not dare barge in when the Quorum members of the World Government is in session

The Foreign Relation department knows some things and he knows that the focus of the meeting

The great figures of the World Government are debating whether that time disturbance a few days ago was related to “that person”

In the World Government when someone mentioned “that person” they only meant one person.

Death Monarch of Pandemonium, the scourge of the World Government.

They do not want to show respect to the person that have wrecked and destroy World Government twice

Not everybody likes Death Monarch.

And most of the people that don’t like Death Monarch is inside the Island of Peace. This is understandable. Because Death Monarch had destroyed World Government headquarters twice.

It is not the destroying part that grates the hearts of the officials of World Government. It is the twice part and the humiliation that followed

Two times they were beaten down by Death Monarch and both of those two times they could not even retaliate.

They could only whimper and hope that death Monarch would spare the rod like they were a child being spanked hard by their angry father

It would be weird if the same people being attacked by Death Monarch would shower praises and heap compliment of him

But ironically, since Death Monarch is the strongest person in the world, a great hero that even Raymond, Hikigaya, and Oreki could not defeat and the idols of all great heroes and heroine all over the world, they also do not dare to insult him openly lest the words would spread and that One on that throne of Pandemonium would throw a red lightning upon them from the Heavens

So, “that person” has always meant Death Monarch for the people of the World Government.

In the ancient times when people could not insult the Emperor or kings, they would come up nicknames to scold them and shows their dissatisfaction.

They would make up stories that have the underlying meaning of showing their complaints and dissatisfaction.

The reason was because they knew they could not win and they were afraid of retaliation.

When the time disturbance happened, it is said Jean the Time Monarch sense it and believe it was Death Monarch that causes such Time Disturbance by compressing Time and Space.

The Senate informed the World Government but the World Government itself has also sense it, though what they sense is different than what the Republic has sensed

While the Time Monarch sense Time, the Mind master sense that Willpower embedded inside that Time Disturbance.

The mind moves the Will and the Will spread all over the world. Which comes first? The Will or the mind? It is still a question to the Mind Master but he was sure of that deduction.

One senses the Time and another senses the Will.
