"Giving power a false life, this idea is quite interesting."

Huang Yayin, who had stood on the roof of the tallest building in the city at some point, was now watching the chaos happening on the street below.

Although she was still dressed as a devout priest, the aura of brutality and chaos that emanated from her from time to time still made her look very scary.

If there were no one else here, this terror would not have spread...but the problem was that she was not the only one on the roof.

"Now can you tell me what you want?"

"Wow, although it is indeed courageous for you to come here alone to meet me as requested, are you really not afraid that I will kill you here...Mr. Duke's Heir?"

If Aarons were here at this moment, he would be surprised to find that the person confronting Huang Yayin on the rooftop was none other than the heir of Duke Scott - Lord Scott.

However, at this moment, he did not look as elegant and conceited as before. Instead, he was trembling with fear due to the terrifying aura emanating from Huang Yayin, and could only force himself to appear calm.

Why is this person here?

"Humph... Even if I die, the Duke's family will not be affected in any way."

"That's a good answer, but it would be more convincing if you weren't shaking so badly."

Because she did not restrain her aura at all, Huang Yayin looked like a ferocious beast that could tear people to pieces at any time - no wonder the Duke's heir still felt fear even though he was some distance away from her.

"You killed one of my subordinates, and then you invited me to meet you alone in that weird way... If I hadn't come, you would have continued to kill people."

"Oh, what do you think will happen?"

In the previous city, Huang Yayin dealt with a monitor in front of Karin and Mo Qianyun - but the other two did not notice what happened afterwards.

Huang Yayin had already obtained all the basic information about the Dukedom from that unlucky guy's head, so she deliberately left a secret message at the scene, asking the Duke's heir to meet her here.

Although she said so, Huang Yayin neither said when she would come nor what she would do...but the Duke's heir still found her as agreed and invited her to this place where no one would disturb her.

"Okay...Unknown Lady, I assume you asked me to meet you specifically, not to ask me to guess riddles, right?"

As if he had lost some patience due to fear, Lord, the heir to the Duke, couldn't help but raise the tone of his voice.

However, Huang Yayin seemed to have extra interest in his reaction, and began to look at this man who seemed to be over 50 years old but did not have much dignity with an even more frightening gaze.

"Although you are the heir, it seems that you have no real power. You must have been trapped by the title and taken on a lot of messy work. You worked hard for decades but suddenly found that the previous generation had no intention of abdicating, so you began to give up on yourself."

"How did you..."

"It's just our little trick, don't mind it."

However, it seemed that because his secret was seen through at a glance, the Duke's heir's fear was alleviated a lot.

Once you really realize that the opponent is several levels higher than you, there is no point in being unnecessary nervous and fearful.

"Okay, we're not here to chat with anyone. So let's just ask directly - has your Duke family ever come into contact with anyone from the Covenant Alliance?"

There was no point in lying or hiding anything. The woman in front of him could tear him to pieces at any time - so the heir, who was nearly fifty years old and had not yet become the head of the family, told the truth directly.

"Shortly before the civil war began, a group of people who called themselves the Star Seekers came to see His Excellency the Duke. But my father - for some reason - did not meet them."

"Oh, is it because there is no way to meet?"

"...Yes, my father suddenly became demented a year ago. He was less and less sane, but his strength remained the same. So the Duke's family could only temporarily confine him and told the public that he was in seclusion researching new magic."

——Duke Scott has actually been unable to take charge for a long time.

Because Duke Scott is a famous magician, outsiders generally don't know what he is doing.

As the heir, Lord Scott has always been in charge of the affairs of the territory, so there have been no problems in the operation of the Duchy.

But now, the second prince has brought his own forces to stir up a civil war - and trouble has followed.

"There's no one else here, just tell me straight - who is controlling the Duke's family now?"

"It's still me for now...any questions?"

"No, I just think you might be in big trouble soon."

Looking at the man who became confident after giving up his fear, Huang Yayin just smiled strangely and didn't say much.

She did have something she wanted to investigate, but the man didn't seem to know about it.

"Okay, that's all I want to ask. Of course, I won't let you make a wasted trip."

There seemed to be some riot happening on the street in the distance, and Huang Yayin casually pointed over there, as if showing off something.

"We will create similar disturbances in several other places, and you can take the opportunity to dig out those hidden threats - you should understand what I mean, right?"

"What do you want?"

"Ha, I just wanted to verify my guess."

After saying that, Huang Yayin turned around and faced the street where magic seemed to flash from time to time.

Then, she jumped up in front of the astonished gaze of the Duke's heir and jumped directly down from the ten-story building.

"Be careful not to be used by the people you used - goodbye."

"Wait... Damn it!"

When the most terrifying thing really disappeared from his sight, the Duke's heir finally calmed down.

The chaos on the streets is not worth paying too much attention to - because soon, the culprit will solve it.

But the problem that I have always wanted to hide and have to face...has it been discovered by others?

"I'm Lord... Listen, immediately send reliable people to re-count the supplies and the movement of key goods in the territory... We may have a chance."

The heirs of the Duke's family are of course very clear about who is quietly snatching their flesh and blood in the dark - so now is the time to launch a counterattack.

"Our enemies are those who destroy order and rules, no matter who they are."
