Chapter 424: Spreading Rumors

Chapter 424: Spreading Rumors

Genius Society was the second strongest club of Academy City.

Just as its name indicated, Genius Society was a club where only geniuses were accepted.

However, practically every student in Academy City could be considered a genius, so the standard of admission was a bit harsher than that.

Only the strongest geniuses. The geniuses among geniuses could be accepted.

In that club, the weakest member was as strong as a late-stage B-Rank practitioner. It was a place filled with A-Rank and B-rank students.

In fact, just in terms of the strength of its members, Genius Society was stronger than the first-ranked club, [Guardian Order]. However, Guardian Order was led by Mu Quan, the strongest student in the city. Plus, although the students of Genius Society did not like to admit it, their teamwork could not be compared to the teamwork of the Guardian Order.

Even so, Genius Society was still a strong club. It was a place where many students dreamed to enter but could not.

And today, Bloed was inside the headquarters of that club.

Moreover, he was received respectfully.

Even Isabella Castor, the leader of the club herself, came to receive him personally. Such a scene left the entire club stunned.

After all, they were aware of how proud Isabella was. This girl did not put anyone in her eyes. Even the leaders of the other clubs, including Mu Quan, were not treated this cordially by her.

Although Isabella seemed kind and amicable on the surface, the truth was that she was extremely proud. The fact that her talent was one that the city had not seen in many years made her feel subconsciously superior to others.

But now, that same proud girl was greeting an almost unknown young man so enthusiastically. Many of her club members were stunned seeing that scene.

Some of them even wondered if spring had finally come to Isabella's life.

Of course, it was nothing like that. The only reason that Isabella was behaving like that was that she had seen Bloed's true power inside the tunnels.

Although she hated to admit it, Isabella knew that she was not a match for Bloed if he used the power that he used in the tunnels. In fact, she believed that no student in Academy City could defeat him.

Isabella was proud due to her talent. But precisely due to that, after witnessing someone younger than her but much stronger than her, she could not continue being proud.

Inside her office, Isabella looked at Bloed, seated across her, and put on a playful smile.

"Mr. Bloed, to think that you visited the house of a lady so late at night. Can I ask you what your intentions are?"

Bloed rolled his eyes.

"Stop joking around, okay? I came for serious business."

"Is it so?" Isabella narrowed her eyes.

In an instant, her mischievous expression disappeared completely, replaced by a dead serious look.

"It looks like the reason you came here is very important, huh. Do speak then."

" I need a favor."

"A favor?" Isabella raised an eyebrow. "What is it? I'll see if I can help you."

Bloed thought for a moment before speaking up.

"I need your help to spread some rumors in the city."

Isabella was stunned.

"Rumors? I have never done something like that. What kind of rumor do you want to spread?"

"One about Wings of Liberty."

Isabella's expression stiffened immediately.

But almost immediately, she recovered and looked at Bloed with a wry smile.

"So you already know, huh."

Bloed raised an eyebrow. "You knew about it as well?"

"I learned about it recently," Isabella said with a wry smile. "Actually, after your battle against [Call of the Wild], I noticed that something was wrong with their number of members. Thus, I investigate it and discovered that the extra members had been sent by Nathan, the leader of Wings of Liberty I was planning to tell you about it, but it looks like you discovered his plot without my help."

Actually, Isabella was surprised when she learned about the reason behind their conflict.

She did not expect that Bloed managed to snatch a club member from Nathan's club, moreover, that club member was a princess. And that Princess was a very powerful girl!

'Now that I think about it, this guy is always surrounded by girls Could he be an expert womanizer?'

Unaware of Isabella's strange thoughts, Bloed nodded.

"I see. Yes, I already discovered that Wings of Liberty is behind it. That is the reason that I'm here."

Isabella frowned. She fell silent for a moment and looked at Bloed fixedly.

" This favor is very big. If something goes wrong, I'll offend one of the strongest clubs of the city completely."

Bloed fell silent.

He knew it, of course. In fact, before coming here, he did not know if Isabella would help him.

However, he did not have many acquittances in the city, and the ones that could help him with something like this were even less. Perhaps the headmistress and Eve could do it, but there was no way that he would bother two powerful demigods for something like this.

Due to that, Isabella was the best option.

They were on good terms, plus, Isabella owed him a favor after he saved one of her club members in the tunnels and protected them from the monster that they faced in the end.

Taking that into account, there was a high chance of Isabella helping him.

And just as he expected, Isabella smiled wryly after considering it for a while.

"Okay, I'll help you this time."

"Thank you."

" I think that I have an idea about what you want to do. However, let me make something clear right now. I will spread the rumors secretly. My Genius Society will never admit anything related to it."

"It's enough. Thank you."

"Good." Isabella chuckled. "Then, tell me what kind of rumor you want to spread."

Bloed smiled slightly and started to talk.

Soon, he could see Isabella's eyes widening in surprise.

Finally, she sighed with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Bloed, could it be that you want to destroy Wings of Liberty completely? However, I don't know if your plan will be effective."

"It will. Don't worry." Bloed smiled mysteriously.

In this world, information traveled slowly. Although it was different for people with status and power, people of the lower classes seldomly knew about the happenings beyond their place of birth.

Due to it, many people in this world underestimated the power of rumors and information.

In the Human Confederation's history, there were many cases of rumors and lies causing terrible tragedies.

This time, he only wanted to take a club down.

How hard could something like that be?
