Chapter 602: Plan Goes Sideways
Chapter 602: Plan Goes Sideways
Alfred had come to the site of the scene with a tune to his lips, as his mind felt like they were on the highs of the clouds.
After all, this had all been his plan, weaved and bent as he wanted it all to be.@@@@
Then again, this was to be expected as he had taken detailed time to review the assignment with his nameless dwarf.
This plan had been in the works for a long time.
Alfred knew Eunid well. This was a talent for the family. One, whose brilliance was acknowledged by not just the family, but also by the Holy church.
After all, he was number one in this generation of Geniuses, regardless of his low cultivation.
But there was an edge to acquiring power and maintaining it that Eunid lacked and Alfred, one bathed by the blood of war with the Zordiac families was not going to allow the opportunity slip.
The battle Eunid had with Arid was an example of this. Eunid was a Pacifist, and even his killing of Arid had been a fluke. He was one that liked to see the good in anyone and everyone.
This was one of the reasons that all the geniuses loved him so much. regardless of being in the eye of the storm of the game of power, somehow, this young man had managed to maintain his peace and innocence and it made him shine. In fact, he shone so brightly that one such as apollo could not help but fantasies corrupting Eunid.
The Plan for this was a simple one.
Firstly, Alfred had been the person that motivated Arid’s men to take up arms against Eunid for killing their commander in fair combat.
After all, the passion of men who called themselves a brotherhood, baptized by the cuts of war, and the salvation of blade against blade was not something that one should frown on.
When Arid had died, he had even cried and still hated himself for it and had been training hard ever since then, so that it such a situation were to happen again, he would be able to win without killing.
Moved by emotion, Eunid will give himself up to the Chasity family in secret. Which was the most honorable and certain thing that he would.
Eunid had fathered no children and was even too young to. This meant that the heir to the the family seat as patriarch, will fall to Alfred.
Even now, Alfred could already envision his arse on that warm seat, ruling over the the enter family. To have that much power and control, all to do as he wished to. And the best part of it was that he would then have Nora and the gifts that she had to himself. He could use her body to cultivate the family fire, and then use her body to cultivate his own power.
And then his name would go down in history as the Patriarch that had saved the family when it was on the brink of fall.
Just the thought of such honor attached to his name made him feel very ecstatic.
However, when he walked over, parting the gathering of people to see what was going on, he could not help but freeze in shock. After all, the person that had killed Apollo was not Eunid, rather, it was Nora.
Besides, the assault on Eunid was beyond obvious.
However, Even though it was in the service of her master, Nora had lifted her hand and stroke an heir of the Chasity family, an important person of the Holy church.
Even her head was not enough punishment for the crime.
But here laid the problem. If Nora were to die, all his dreams would go down the drain. After all, he knew the value of her cultivation body.
"Shit!" Ramon cursed on seeing what had happened. And instantly, he turned to his brother. Both of them nodded at each other as they rushed to act before it was too late.
