My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Not a Rumor

....

The Kiel Family Patriarch entered the meeting hall, where a large round table was arranged. Chairs were placed around the table for the guests to be seated.

On the table, glasses filled to the brim with alcohol were arranged for the guests that were yet to be brought here.

The Kiel Family Patriarch walked around the table, carrying a small vial of an unknown liquid in his hand. He carefully added a drop of the liquid to each of the glasses of alcohol.

As the drops blended into the alcohol, they became completely undetectable. There was no change in color or scent to indicate anything had been added.

The Family Head looked quite pleased with himself as he had finished everything as per instructions from Fey. Now all that was left was for the guests to drink so that their mental defense could be lowered.

His pleasant expressions didn't last for long as he felt the entire group tremble, which was accompanied by an explosion.

Frowning, he left the meeting hall and rushed towards the source of commotion. As soon as he reached there, he noticed that a part of his mansion had been completely flattened.

Looking at the scene, it was unclear exactly how many people were buried under the rubble. One thing was certain, that the Leader of the Kiel Family Guards was dead.

Only one half of his body was left behind, the other half being completely evaporated in the attack. It was clear that the person couldn't even resist when he was killed.

The Kiel Family Head looked at the source of this destruction. Not far from him, there was a girl standing with a cold look on her face.

"What do you think you are doing?" The Kiel Family Head asked the girl from the Greyndor family, still maintaining a calm tone. He still had to lure the girl to drink, so he couldn't afford to offend her yet.

As for the people who died in her attack, it didn't matter to him. All that he cared about was fulfilling his master's orders. His mind and thoughts were completely under Fey's control.

"I told him that he would die if he wasted my time." Anya jumped down from the Undead Dragon, landing in front of the Kiel Family Patriarch without the slightest hesitation.

"It seems that I should have done this much sooner. You are finally out." She walked past the Kiel Family Patriarch, without sparing a second glance at him. "I don't know about him, but my time is limited."

As she spoke, she cast a shadow at Leo Rottenheim, who was simply watching her as if observing a child act out.

"Shall we hear why you invited us here? What is it about the Holy Continent?" He didn't react to her taunting, and focused on the Kiel Family Patriarch.

The Kiel Family Head noticed the other heirs and Family Leaders, who were also waiting.

"I was just about to invite you as well. Please follow me," he told the guests while walking back inside the mansion.

Leo followed the man, appearing much more calm than Anya. However, along the way, he couldn't help but raise his head, casting a glance towards a window on the first floor.

He soon entered the mansion.

Meanwhile, Fey was hiding behind a curtain that hung around the window that Leo was observing. However, he had hidden himself quite quickly.

"These people... They are quite perceptive. They would make for good slaves." In the silent room, only Fey's voice could be heard. "Failure is not an option. Still, why do I feel so uneasy?"

....

The guests followed after the Kiel Family Head who brought them inside the meeting hall.

"Please take seats. The explanation will be long, and might take some time." He gestured for the guests to take seats according to their will.

Even though no seats were assigned, the families knew their own place. Seats were taken as per the strength of the families and not the person.

The first two seats were taken by Anya and Leo, with the seat between them being left for the Kiel Family Head who was the host.

The Kiel Family Head pulled out stacks of papers and placed them in front of the guests, right next to the drinks.

"Please go through the documents while I explain. Also, I have arranged a very unique alcohol that is the speciality of our region. You must be tired, so please give it a try as well "

He didn't forget the guests to drink but simply suggested. It was only a matter of time before they started drinking as he intentionally had his people drag them around so they would be thirsty by the time they came here.

Just as he expected, quite a few family heads started drinking the alcohol while they read through the pages that were placed in front of them.

Anya and Leo also took a sip while focusing on the papers.

At the same time, the Kiel Family Head started explaining, "I am sure that you have also heard about the growing closeness between the Holy Church and the Demon Sect."

"That is right. What about it?" One of the Family Heads asked.

"Isn't that just a rumor?" Another Family Head chimed in. "The Demon Sect have enough to worry about with the presence of the Heroes on their borders. Would they still have time to work with the Holy Church?'

"What if I say that it isn't a rumor?" The Kiel Family Head said, making even Anya frown.

She had also heard these rumors, but even she hadn't expected the East and West to work together.

If this was really true, it might develop into a really complicated situation with the opening of hell being right around the corner.

"Are you saying that they have reached an agreement?" Leo frowned. "Why would the East do something like that? Do they want to fight other people's war? Are they trying to start a continental war?"
