Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra - Chapter 256 256:The Order Of Scarlet Snow[2]

Chapter 256 Chapter 256:The Order Of Scarlet Snow[2]

The place may look like an ordinary place for a secret meeting but it is much more mysterious than that.

This is an Legendary-grade artifact that boosts the leader’s strength, making him superior no matter how strong the other side is originally.

Since all of them were manifestations of their soul, he could kill them here and that would injure their soul and they would be helpless to resist unless they were at the Sun realm which equals Legendary grade in artifact case as per Harris’s notion.

Veronica felt beads of sweat covering her forehead and her breathing stagnated.

‘What the hell is this? He is a kid, a generation below yet he is so strong. Maybe my guess before was true. This guy might be an old man using a disguise to look younger but who is he?’

If Lucas heard her though he would just scoffed calling her a brain-dead woman.

Veronica sighed thinking that her plan failed. She didn’t dare to do this in front of the cold-blooded leader but in front of this guy, she thought she could push things a bit and pry into the origin or get some valuable information alas this guy was a tough nut to crack.

“I…I apologize.” She muttered faintly much to everyone’s surprise. They know she is a willful and spoiled girl who always messes things up.

At the other end, the Observer, the white-haired lady, stared at the boy with deep curiosity.

‘What an interesting fellow! No wonder he was able to make Julian give it to her. I am sure Douglas would like it when he hears about this boy.’

Thinking inwardly, her eyes shone brightly as she heard that Douglas had been found and was already on the way here.

“Any more questions about my position?” The moment Lucas asked this Basilisk raised his hand to speak.

“Though I am not questioning your capability, how can I be sure that you aren’t an imposter who stole the power or the badge from The Leader? And why is she absent?”

“I mean she could have introduced you formally instead of creating such a tense situation.”

Lucas stared at the guy.

He had even met him once. He was the same guy they met at the orphanage Uncle Shawn who was there in disguise.

From Lucas’ perspective, this guy was quite capable and someone who could be trusted but the only defect in his personality is that he is like a fanatic believer who respects Julian so much.

A step above the boot lickers and this excessive thinking of his is gonna create too many problems in the future as he wanted to expand his organization crazily observing all the underground forces in the human continent and also in others but it backfired. The origin of this chapter’s debut can be traced to N0v3l–B1n.

‘I need to warn Julian to tame this guy properly.’

Lucas tapped the armrest and spoke slowly.

“That’s a very valid question but it makes me wonder, do you have this much faith in the leader? Your questions make me wonder if I even have faith in the Winter Witch.”

Basilisk suddenly felt deja vu on hearing this and for a moment even felt ashamed of this.

“Winter Witch isn’t someone that can be trifled with and I made a deal with her that allowed me to take over things here to do my bidding. And the reason for her absence is that she is handling a grave matter.”

“I apologize for the meaningless question.” Basilisk bowed his head.

Ami and Herman raised their brows hearing Lucas’ eloquent speech.

‘Since when did he become such a fluent oracle?’ Ami thought inwardly while wishing to record this whole thing and show it to Julian.

“Okay!” Lucas clapped his hands to draw everyone’s attention.

“Since the fun time is over. Let’s get off to the main things. I am acting as a temporary leader so I dont have the leisure to spend time around. As per curiosity about my identity, please keep it in check cause…..”

“People’s curiosity might stir great animosity.”

Lucas glanced around as each one of them just gave a brief nod as if signaling him to continue.

“There are two things I want you guys to help me with.”

“As you know, our group’s main goal is to try to fight against the people who try to create chaos and support one another in our endeavors. I want you to use all your resources to find Art and the other families who disappeared out of nowhere.”

“My people are already on them. We are searching for every clue. But all of them vanished as if they never existed.” Val, the Informer, spoke, taking the lead.

“Yes, I don’t know what they used but we weren’t able to trace their mana.” Basilisk spoke with a frown.

“White had a hand in it.” Lucas dropped the bomb, startling everyone.

“White…You mean Duke White. Are you sure?” Veronica asked, unable to believe this.

“Yes!”

“It might be possible if it’s them but it’s still unbelievable,” Val muttered, shaking his head, unable to swallow it.

“It isn’t.” Lucas smiled and stared at Vice-President Lee who was disguising as Hunter.

“What do you think about this Sir?”

Hunter didn’t think that he would be directed to this.

“It’s possible if they have an artifact that can join two places by portals.”

“I guessed that but we dispatched Mages to take mana samples to search for them. We also resorted to blood magic.” Basilisk asked.

“I think I have an answer to that.” The Observer, who has been keeping silent till now, spoke and this startled many as she doesn’t speak much.

“They either used something to mask their presence or they might have hidden in an isolated space barrier. And since they use portals to directly jump there, you won’t find them unless they step out.”

“Good guess.” Lucas clapped and snapped his finger.

A map appeared out of thin air covering the table.

“Your guess is correct. With years of wealth they amassed, all these things are the tip of the Iceberg.”

Everyone glanced at the map and saw the many dots marked over it. This was the land ruled by Whites.

“The area marked here is the possible place where those traitors might be hiding. They might also be hiding in the Center territory or under the White Mansion, but we will keep that place for last.”

Lucas raised his head towards Basilisk and ordered,”Use Spirit Puppeteer under you to control a group of core people and use them to sneak in.”

“But how can we find the isolated space barrier?” Veronica asked.

“Lady Observer, I hope you can help.” Lucas smiled.

A top-class Sorceress is sitting beside him if he didn’t ask for her now then he would miss a great opportunity.

“I have an artifact that can detect space barriers but it can only detect.” The Hunter spoke.

“Sir, please lend it to the others.”

“Veronica and Informer, I have other things for you.”

“Yes!”

“Can you call me by code name?” Veronica asked with a glare.

“Sorry, it was a misspell. Now listen.”

They nodded waiting for Lucas to speak.

A list materialized in front of them.

“On it, are the names of Professors of Horizon. They had taken part in many black dealings and other things. I want you to bring evidence of everything they have done. I dont care whether you torture them or take their family hostage, I want every piece of information that can make them fall into abyss.”

Val’s eyes lit up looking at the list.

‘Finally, something that I enjoy doing. A huge storm will be blowing in Horizon.’

Veronica smacked her lips seeing the list.

‘I am sure this would be sensational news. With Horizon’s teachers getting fucked up before the tournament, things would surely be interesting. By broadcasting this I can earn a heap.’

Lucas noticed Veronica’s mischievous smile and could figure out exactly what she was thinking but he didn’t intervene because he handed it to her.

‘I wonder how it feels when you see your name spread across the world.’

‘Such a grand fame. I hope you thank me for this cause you’re gonna enjoy it.’

“Now that I have done what I wanted. Does anyone have anything else to discuss?”

“No!”

Everyone replied at the same time.

“In that case, let’s adjourn as many of you might have things to do.” Lucas nodded and soon one by one everyone ejected while he waited as he had to be last to leave this place.

However, he suddenly felt goosebumps and was stunned to see the Observer sitting at her place and giving a seductive and mesmerizing smile.

His heart almost skipped a beat.

“Uhh…Big Sis, is there anything you want?”

Lucas asked respectfully as the woman was someone that you shouldn’t antagonize even in your worst dreams.

The mesmerizing woman with white hair and voluptuous curves, she was like an elusive nun who had let go of her identity and lived in seclusion as per the description.

However, the truth was that this mature hot woman who looked quite young was a grandma of 300 years.

She is Irina, a half elf and one of Principal Douglas’s Secret lovers, whom Lucas had to treat cautiously as she had the power to invade one’s dreams, see-through illusion, distort one’s memories and also had the power to see fate.

She is also a master of seduction arts and wants Julian to be her disciple but invading dreams and seduction disgust her so she always refuses.

Irina’s lips widened with pleasure after hearing how Lucas’ address her.

“You are packed with many surprises, kid. I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”
