The Conquerors Path

Chapter 839: Chapter 837-A Bigger Schemer At Play?

”How?.....”

That is all Tron could finally say as the atmosphere in the room relaxed, the duo not being able to understand this sudden power shift.

”The truth lay in what you said, Tron, a war cannot be fought alone. Even with all the power I have, there is a limit to what one person can do. I understood that thought a long time ago, and with that in mind, I made sure to have true raw power every working entity should have.”

As I said this, my legs crossed each other, a light smirk on my lips as everything lay bare. Even from before, at meetings, I had already put forth these actions, the changes that came with it slowly bringing in more and more power into my hands. And now, if those pompous bitches want to deal with me, then they will be meeting a big roadblock they will not be able to deal with.

”With this much power at hand, we will be able to fully dominate the whole game.”

Tron slowly spoke. I could see his pupils dilate, the excitement travelling within him as the shock and fear started to fade away, the truth of how much power is hidden within the place no doubt bouncing off several ideas in his mind. The man stood up from his place, his eyes travelling through the real monsters hidden within the academy as he bowed his head.

”I was wrong. It would seem even I was affected by the slight, narrow mindset formed growing up and having all I did. It would seem I was the one who couldnʼt see the whole picture. For that, and looking down at you all, I am sorry.”

His words were straight and fixated, the words relaxing the atmosphere as little smiles came on the faces of the not-so-hard-assed ones in the room.

”Itʼs alright, bro. As long as you can cook up good info for us to use, we both can make sure together that we create an amazing enough plan to kick everyoneʼs asses!”

Alex exclaimed as he looked at Tron, who held the documents in his hand together, his expression turning serious as he replied with a nod.

”Yes, letʼs do that.”

His words resonated in the room as he took a seat, his face flashing with conviction as Tron started to speak.

”With these hidden powers and gifts, along with the support and fighting power we have from the Archery Association and even the DarkNight, we will be able to take on anything that will come our way, war council or not.”

Tron spoke with confidence, and I could sense that his fear and loyalty had increased for me as he looked at me. I am probably going to look like a super-hidden boss in his eyes, and he is slowly coming to understand perhaps why it is that I have so much power within the DarkNight itself.

”So then, Tron, why donʼt you give us the backup file of info you created in case we decided to go to war?”

A smile tugged on my lips as I said this, and the expression of Tron changed to one of surprise, but he quickly recovered as he took the documents and started to give them to all of us. Within seconds, all of us were focused on reading the document.

”This document contains all the information about the big hidden players of the academy and the organisations they arrived from. Even with our capabilities, I couldnʼt get everything about them, like their weaknesses or their hidden trump cards. But this list at least contains the names of the ones you should be careful of, for they are the true enemies we will be facing in this case.”

Tronʼs words now had more sense of will to them as each one of them kept going through the list, which suddenly paused as Jacob spoke out.

”Hey!..... I know her!”

Saying so, Jacob took out a certain file and started to show the image of a stunningly beautiful girl with light blue hair and eyes of two different colours, blue and green. But the more unique thing about the girl is the fact that she has two antenna-like structures hanging from her head, her teeth having sharp edges to them.

And that wasnʼt even the end, as the girl had sharp-looking ears similar to elves but longer. Her eyes seemed to have something swirling in them, each eye having some sort of moving pattern in them, while her skin colour went towards the edges of blue and red, a seemingly mixed colour in her body proportions.

Though in proportion, she looks quite like a healthy woman with the right curves, and somehow, all these unique looks come together to give her quite the sensual and unique look that is indeed very attractive.

Jacob showed her image, I could see the eyes of some of the members constrict as Tron spoke.

”Thatʼs Girika, a half-kind and one of the most dangerous ones we will have to face in the ability of mind from the war council.”

As Tron said this, Clara jumped in as she spoke.

”She came to me once for treatment. I liked her quite a bit. Talking to her was also fun. You canʼt forget seeing someone like her, after all.”

Her words had their effect as Zora chimed in.

”She also came to me once, seemingly wanting to see if I could get her any of my own potions, and just like Clara, I seemed to have gotten a good impression from her, which rarely or doesnʼt mostly happen at all.”

Her words made everyoneʼs frown grow worse as Mika chimed in.

”We met her once at the more common training ground where we work or train with others at times. She wanted to practice together. She was okay, and we had some fun too. Like the rest, it ended on a good note.”

As she said this, I turned to look at Rina, who was holding onto the image of the woman in her hands in quite a hard way, her gaze seemingly holding deep embers in them as I asked.

”Whatʼs wrong?”

Rina bit her lips for a moment, but she didnʼt think for long, after which she started to speak with a very suppressed tone.

”She was among the ones I wanted to convert to my group. I found her once being bullied, and she had met all the right conditions for me to take her into my group. I was slowly bringing her and getting closer to her when she just suddenly fell out of touch....”

I could see the anger within Rinaʼs eyes as she reached here, the truth of the fact that she was being tricked and that perhaps everything was a ploy, making her hand on the table scrunch up, bringing out cracking sounds from the table.

”She was perfect in a sense, a half-beast sea folk of the Ante tribe of the waters. Though she didnʼt tell me what the other half is, only the fact it made her useless and that she was

yearning for more strength.”

A sudden silence fell into the room after Rinaʼs words, Tron seemingly being very thoughtful, but the words that were being thought came from Alex.

”She suspected it. You have been doing this for some time, after all, and then she took her action. She gave you the perfect person to pull you in. She wanted to know what it was you

were doing with them all.”

”She didnʼt get what it was, though.”

Rina said with her face scrunched up to look like a monster ready to attack. This Girika better

hopes she doesnʼt appear in front of Rina any day. Getting twisted into something will be the best that could happen to her. However, Rina didnʼt let the anger control her as she took a deep breath and continued.

”I am not stupid. I made sure that a contract would be first used before any knighting ceremony took place or the truth would be spoken of. After all, I always suspected that someone smart might catch up to this one day. And if taking the timing into effect, itʼs perfect that this woman disappeared when she heard about the contract to get more info. When she knew she couldnʼt get any more, she vanished.”

I stayed silent all this time, listening to all the theories going around with a serious expression on my face, waiting for the correct question to be asked, and asked Alex.

”Then why did you never think about her before?”

The question rang like an alarm bell, silencing everyone in the room. Rinaʼs eyes widened in shock-it was the perfect question to ask, piercing through the tension like a blade. ”Why did you never even mention something like this happening?” Alex continued, his tone

sharp and accusing. ”For someone as cunning as you, shouldnʼt you have realised right away that this was a setup? Yet, you said nothing. It seems like this is the first time youʼve even considered the possibility.”

Alexʼs words landed like a punch, sending ripples through the group. Faces darkened, especially those who had earlier pushed for the meeting with Girika. Something deeper, something far more unsettling, was being uncovered now.
