Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

a few days later.

Southern Territory, Federation Superhuman Association.

"Gentlemen, with winter approaching, the rampant monsters have become an issue that cannot be ignored."

Duke Wang En sat in the main seat of the conference hall, his hands clasped together on the table, his eyes cold, his voice authoritative and steady: "At the same time, according to my intelligence, recently many underground rebel forces have actually sold 'Dark Blood' within the Great Wall, resulting in a large number of Black Blood infected people appearing in major city-states in the border area. This is simply an absurd thing!"

"The Empire has given a death order; we must resolve this issue as soon as possible."

This is a magnificent domed conference hall with murals on the walls. The long table in the center of the hall is more than ten meters long and can accommodate thirty or forty people. Those who can sit here to hold meetings are all very famous figures in the Southern Territory.

They are either the heads of top families, the presidents of guilds for superhumans or guilds for magicians, the leaders of schools such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Yin-Yang School, or the chiefs of Witchers and Night Watchers... Each of them is a figure of immense power.

Night Owl sat at one of the seats at the long table and said slowly, "In the past few days, we have arrested at least a dozen wandering traffickers who sell Dark Blood, and more than two hundred users of Dark Blood. But these traffickers are all individual operators, and most of them are wanderers from the wilderness outside the Great Wall. They know nothing at all."

Chief of the Night Watch, Nangong Ru, crossed her arms and glanced at him with her indifferent yet beautiful eyes. She said expressionlessly, "It's not enough to just catch these vendors; we also need to find the source."

The white-haired elder of the Mage Guild stroked his beard: "Now that winter is approaching, the climate is becoming more severe. Monsters are rampant outside the Third Line of Defense, which is also the season with the most severe demonic pollution. Our extraordinary warriors face numerous dangers if they want to operate outside the Great Wall, let alone conduct overseas investigations."

The guild leader of the Mechanics Guild chimed in, "Yes, I'm afraid it will be very difficult..."

The leader of the Legalist sect said, "Moreover, those underground rebel forces have always been very cautious in their actions. How can it be so easy to find the source? The empire has been investigating for so long, but they haven't even found their lair."

The Demon Hunter Chief said nonchalantly, "Anyway, my men are only responsible for hunting down monsters. As for catching any underground rebels, that's your job!"

"..."

The powerful figures and leaders of various factions discussed the matter at length, but ultimately failed to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

As Night Owl listened to the cacophony of voices, he silently shook his head inwardly.

'A bunch of rabble...'

Duke Wang En then said, "I have already issued a mission to the War Academy, asking them to send three hundred elite students to help us investigate this matter."

"However, I still hope that the city lords stationed in the border cities will pay more attention, especially those city lords in charge of border logistics and trade."

“Winter is the time when the dark races are most active. Think about the major demonic calamities that have occurred in the past; they all happened in winter. If we have internal problems first, and the dark races take advantage of our weakness, none of us here can bear the consequences.”

The important figures all nodded in agreement.

Then, the meeting came to an end.

On the seats at the long table in the conference hall, the figures of the bigwigs from various forces gradually blurred and then slowly disappeared—it turned out that everyone sitting here was a holographic projection.

"Director Nangong, please wait a moment." Duke Wang En suddenly pressed the button on the table, sending a private voice message that only the two of them could hear.

So, only Duke Wang En and Director of the Night Watch, Nangong Ru, remained at the long table in the conference room.

Nangong Ru still had her arms crossed over her chest. She was a beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty years old, but her expression always seemed aloof and unapproachable. (Photo)

"Why did you leave me behind alone?" Nangong Ru asked expressionlessly.

......

Hmmmm... I'll post half a chapter first, there'll be more later, but probably not so soon today... (I'm going to be writing all night ┭┮﹏┭┮)

Go to sleep first.
