The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 273 - Dionisius's Decision-part One-

"So, what do we do now?" Asked Demeter.

Alfonso thought for some time.

"Now that I have offended my best chance to make new commerce routes, I need to attend this meeting no matter what" Said Alfonso.

"It's dangerous, there is obviously something fishy in this whole situation" Said Susana.

"That's right Alfonso, I think we should avoid, even if its mean to delay the plan to establish route of commerce, anyway, we have a lot of time to do it" Said Demeter.

"No, in fact, we have only a couple of months to do it, otherwise, we will go back to square one" Said Alfonso.

"What do you mean?" Asked Demeter.

"The economy of Wasteland Valley is almost 70% inner, in other words, the flow is money is always the same, is we stay like this, it's the same as not having the economic system that I establish in the first place, the commoners won't improve their living conditions and the stock of our goods will only pile up, the only reason we aren't in a crisis is that, due to the weather, the food stays good for a long time, but, eventually, it will root. That's why, we must obtain something of this meeting" Said Alfonso.

Everyone stood quiet, indeed, they were aware of the situation, but they didn't know that it was this serious, so, nobody knew what to do.

After some time, Alfonso let a sight.

"Okay, this is what we gonna do"

"Artemis, Io"

Alfonso looked at Artemis and Io.

"How long will it take you to go to Wasteland if you two go alone?" Asked Alfonso.

"A couple of weeks if we run at full speed" Answered Io.

"Alfonso, you don't mean…" Said Artemis.

"That's right, I want you and Io to rush to Wasteland Valley, today, however, do it in secret, nobody must know that you two are going back. When you get there, put the plan of construction as a first priority, remember that project must be finished in one month at most" Said Alfonso.

"Why?" Asked Artemis.

"This is a countermeasure" Said Alfonso.

"In case of what?" Asked Artemis.

"…" Alfonso didn't say anything, he just smiled bitterly.

"…" Artemis looked back at him with an upset face on her.

"It must be done by the end of the month, remember that, Artemis" Added Alfonso.

"My lord…" Said Io.

"Let's go, stupid disciple" Said Artemis while turning around.

"Master…"

"He already took his decision" Said Artemis.

She walked to the door and looked back at Demeter.

"Don't worry, I will protect him" Said Demeter.

Artemis nodded and walked out of the room with Io behind her.

Alfonso looked at the lonely back of Artemis and sighed bitterly.

"Out of everyone here, you are the only one I can trust in case something happens to me, please understand" Though Alfonso.

"Also, you are the only one who can stop Demeter if she planned on doing something stupid"

.....................….

After the meeting, Alfonso send Susana back to Tulip just to be save and white fang accompany her, Anastasia and Hans insisted in coming, so, Alfonso didn't send them back. That night, Alfonso slept with a heavy hard, for some reason, he had nightmares all night.

"This is the intuition that Prometheus was talking about" Though Alfonso.

Something bad was about to happen, something inside him told him that, and, the more he approached to Inferno City, the more this sensation grew.

After a long time, Alfonso was finally able to close his eyes and slept, the night passed quickly and soon the sun rose, however, Alfonso couldn't enjoy much of his slept because somebody came rushing to his room.

"Alfonso! This is bad!" An alarmed voice woke him up.

"What is going on?" Asked Alfonso.

"It's better if you see it yourself" Said an anxious Demeter.

Alfonso felt scared by Demeter's words, he put his clothes on and when to the reception of the inn, the sun was already up, however, the warn bath of sunlight was turned into a cold breeze when he saw a figure standing in the entrance on the inn drenched in blood.

"Ah… uncle…" Said Dionisius.

Contrary to his usual joyful and somehow pervert usual appearance, currently, Dionisius was bathed in blood and had the appearance of a beast that just went to eat.

"I have a lot of questions in my mind right now, however, I will ask the one that concerns me the most" Said Alfonso.

"That blood isn't yours… right?"

"Indeed, this isn't my blood" Answer Dionisius.

"Then… whose blood is it?"

"Griftor's…" Said Dionisius.

"You have to be fucking kidding me…" Though Alfonso.

"Is he…"

"Yes, I cut out his head with my own hands" Said Dionisius.

Alfonso stood there for some time.

"Enter and take a shower, then, we will have a long talk" Said Alfonso.

.....................

Let's go back a couple of hours ago, Dionisius was walking Rebecca back to her home.

"So, miss Rebecca, why don't you go back with me to Wasteland Valley?" Asked Dionisius.

"I would love to… but I have a lot of things to do here, plus, my father won't allow it" Said Rebecca.

"Why not!? Look at me! I am adorable!" Said Dionisius.

"And that's precisely why…" Said Rebecca with a smile.

Both of them enter the small mansion of Rebecca.

"Mr.Dionisius, I am fine from here onwards…"

"No! let me meet your father! I must introduce myself to my father-in-law" Said Dionisius.

Rebecca blushed a little before smiling sweetly, then she nodded.

"Then, be prepared, my father is a rather strict person" Said Rebecca.

Just as she finished talking, Dionisius suddenly stopped.

"This smell…" Though Dionisius.

"Oh no!"

"Rebecca, don't open the door!" Shouted Dionisius.

However, it was too late…

*Pishh*

An arrow when across the room just as Rebecca opened the door, the arrow inserted itself in Rebecca's forehead, killing her instantly.

While the dead body of Rebecca fell down to the ground, Dionisius couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"REBECCA!"

He run towards Rebecca and grabbed her body, however, there was nothing he could do, she was already dead.

His head, who hadn't recovered from the shock, turned towards the room, inside it, a couple of a man and woman was laying against each other with blood on their heads, besides them, a man was holding a blade on his hand and a bow on his back.

"…" The man saw Dionisius and turned to run towards the window.

The man run towards the dark alleys of Arcadia as fast at it could, however, from time to time, he would turn around to look at his back.

"He isn't following me…?" Though the man.

He was about to stop when he suddenly froze.

A pair of death cold eyes were looking at him.
