Chapter 324: The Low Deal Eradication Plan (2)
The Founder in his office was in shock over this, but that didn't stop him from trashing practically the entire office out of anger, scaring many teachers.
When Mia Holmer and the Alignment people finally arrived, the Founder calmed down, though he gave them a stern look.
Mia scoffed.
"Heh, what's the matter, dear Founder? Why are you so angry? Building this office was a tremendous cost for your stupid luxuries; why are you trashing it now?" she asked.
The Founder took several deep breaths. His chest was rising and falling from anger, but he didn't respond until a few minutes later.
"It's okay. I've calmed down now. What do you want?" he asked, and Mia smiled.
"Founder, you are the closest to the Webb Family. Therefore, I would like to know if your spirit is still in operation or if you directly can no longer use it. With your spirit, I'm sure you could have figured that out by being so close. He is the best war spirit we have, and his senses are not for play, after all." She replied.
That made the Founder frown and look at her. "Are you implying that I might be in collusion with those bastards? You seem to forget who it was that declared war on them then." He retorted fiercely, talking about Low Deal.
Mia Holmer scoffed. With what she knew, even though it wasn't quite confirmed, it was becoming more and more confirmed, but she didn't need to bring it up right now. She would eventually take care of this old bastard. Now, she just needed to slow him down.
"So how do you explain this rage of you right around the time it came to light that the Webbs colluded with the Low Deal people? Was it regret? Or did you just want to spend the money I've worked so hard to raise?" she asked. She wouldn't back down, even if he looked pretty angry.
The guy's face was getting redder and redder. There was something he wanted to do, but he couldn't do it because of these people, and that made him angry.
Still, he was able to calm down after realizing that anger would get him nowhere.
After calming down, he pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Mia.
"Look, after I sent them on the mission with the Zen student, he just handed me a write-up of what happened. Thanks to the writing, I learned that the destiny spirit summoners were taken by the Night Warlock. That's why I tried to seek information from a professional and she confirmed it was so. That bastard warlock just came with the mission to take them away, possibly.
Also, that guy was working with Low Deal and the Webb's, so naturally, I was the first to hear about that family's betrayal because of this, but our destiny summoners are more important. That's why I'm angry and trying to think of a countermeasure." He replied.
He was a good liar, or so Mia thought. For the others who were present, though, this came as a shock.
While it was true that those destiny readers were useless, they served an important function. So, their disappearance or death is a matter of great importance. Even more so because it was due to them that they had a close collaboration with the Grand Sorcerers.

But Mia was not worried about it. She received proof from Matt about what had happened that day.
Besides, how could she believe the Low Deal Founder, who tricked her into manipulating her for so long?
Although she knew this guy couldn't manipulate everything, she was sure someone was behind him to control all this, but she didn't care right now. Her mission was just to contain him.
One of the members of the Alignment spoke up at that moment.
"Founder, are you sure about what you are saying? Did something like that really happen?" he asked, and the Founder nodded.
"I am not mistaken. This was confirmed by 'The Seer Mask'. You all know how capable she is in research. Even if we don't know them personally because she never shows herself, I think we can trust her."
"The Seer Mask? This... It seems to be true then."
When he brought her to the table, no one would doubt. Although they haven't known where to find her for a long time, with the guy's connections in front of them, it wouldn't be impossible to know.
That's why, between them, they looked at each other, and one nodded.
"I can go and personally eradicate the Webb Family, Miss Mia. If you give me permission, I will bring you as much evidence as possible on this case." He spoke.
Mia Holmer looked at him. "If you are going to go, the rest will stay with me. I have devoted more than half my life to an Academy that has not been grateful to me and has taken away my own research, which has slowed my growth drastically. Therefore, anyone I am suspicious of will become a suspect. If you don't want it to be that way, then I will retire from the Academy.
I will try to find a place with Miss Charlotte; I am sure she will find it happily." She replied firmly.
Her words made several of them swallow saliva, nodding quickly.
"Of course, Miss Mia. Don't worry. Only I will go; the rest will stay with you. Besides, you have the power to move the entire Alignment from now on. We've been talking about it, and we want to give you the direction of the Alignment; we'll do that when you get back, but feel free to arrest whoever you want." He replied firmly and with a big smile, trying to please Mia.
She smiled and nodded. Then she looked at the Founder. "That being the case, this room will be a prison for now. No one besides you can leave here until I order it. And I don't care if he is powerful or not; I will use all the power of the Alignment and my Squadron to hold him." She said coldly, revealing her clear intentions.
She doubted the Founder and so would not allow him to take a step out, until everything was completed.
Perhaps she was the only one with enough guts to doubt the Founder at a time when he was so angry that his head was sparking.
When she said this, she sat quietly and looked at the Founder with derision.
'Someday, I'm going to smash your head in, you bastard.' She thought and then diverted her mind from those thoughts, leading her to think 'Zen'.
'Zen, I hope you succeed this time. I don't know if it's okay for me as a human to let a couple of Vampires do whatever they want in my territory, but you've shown me that Vampires can be interesting, too. So, I hope you don't die here.'
