The Black Market - Chapter 194

After hearing the order for a ceasefire from their commanders, the two opposing armies were left standing in their spots with an awkward atmosphere lingering in the air.

Just a few minutes ago, they were aiming their weapons at each other, but now, they have to act as if nothing happened.

They didn’t know what kind of agreement their two commanders talked about to reach such an ending, but nonetheless, the soldiers of the two armies sighed in relief.

“Just so you know, I’m doing this for Ayesha and not for you, you damned bastard!” Saint Commander Omri muttered before he turned his communicator on to give a series of commands to his subordinates.

Saint Commander Faramis rolled his eyes at the stubborn Avran in front of him. His lips curved into a smile at the unexpected result of the battle. He then glanced at Vishnu and Old man Bu who were now curiously looking at him. He knew that both of them were waiting for him to answer their curiosity, but it was not a good place to talk about it.

Everything will have to wait until both armies were put into order.

A week later after the fall of Amro Doomblade. All of his illegal activities slowly came to light and everyone connected to his illegal dealings were all given a death sentence.

Everyone also learned to their horror that the third prince Amro Doomblade’s influence almost took half of the imperial family. Of course, all of them were similarly put to death.

The Celestial Sword Empire was slowly reorganizing its officials due to the past events. This time, the imperial family was more meticulous in choosing them, afraid that something similar might happen once again.

The Blue Cloud City who received the most damage during the war was now being rebuilt under the supervision of the crown prince Elyon Doomblade. His sister, Princess Michelle was also there to assist him.

Just a few distance away from the imperial castle stood a luxurious manor.

The guards guarding the gate looked proud as they gazed solemnly at the pedestrians walking outside. They couldn’t be blamed for their attitude since they were serving the Celestial Sword Empire’s hero, the Unfettered Duke, Cale.

Inside the manor, in Cale’s room.

‘The empire’s problem has now been dealt with. So now, I have to proceed with my plans. My cultivation at the moment is now at the late stage of the Immortal-Class level. Zero and Aurora are both on the same level as me, while the rest are all between the early stage of the Immortal-Class level and the mid stage of the Immortal-Class level. Our present strength should be enough to fight against Azazel’s men, but it’s nowhere near enough if we wanted to kill him. The man himself was at the Earth Enlightenment Realm according to Aurora… The difference in our strength is still too great. Furthermore, he has millions of demons serving under him and that is excluding the few races he enslaved. How could I gain that much support…’ Cale was deep in his thoughts when he heard a knock from his door.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”

“Come in.” He said as he sat on a chair while looking at the veiled beauty who stepped inside his room.

Aurora remained calm under the scrutiny of her lord. She was already used to his naughty attitude, and after his growth in cultivation, she could no longer read his exact strength.

“My lord, here’s your coffee.” Aurora greeted Cale warmly as she handed him the cup of coffee.

Cale smiled as he enjoyed the steaming hot coffee that was personally brewed by Aurora.

Aurora remained standing and eagerly watched him enjoy the coffee she made. She could not understand the strange feeling of happiness and proudness when she saw that the coffee she carefully brewed was being savored by Cale.

Cale emptied the cup of coffee before handing the empty cup to Aurora with a pleasant smile on his face.

“I didn’t know that you were this good in brewing coffee. Starting tomorrow, bring something like this to me every day.” Cale praised as he rubbed her head gently. Of course, his hand was swatted away after a brief second of contact.

Cale smiled awkwardly and sat back on his seat.

Suddenly, Cale’s playful eyes turned serious.

“Aurora, how do you think can we expand the growth of our army? Currently, we only have a few hundred guards inside this manor. And even if we include our forces on Earth, it should only be a little more than a hundred thousand. With our present strength, we could barely contend against one of Azazel’s demonic armies.” Cale said.

Aurora thought for a moment and answered. “My lord, we can slowly develop our forces by inviting elites to join our army. But of course, we have to inform the Celestial Sword Empire about this if we plan to do it in order to avoid making them suspicious. Furthermore, the empire can also become our ally in the fight against Azazel.”

“If only we have much time then we can do that. But with the current progress of things, I can assume that Azazel would hasten his plans.” Cale sighed.

Aurora similarly sighed and muttered silently. “If we could just convince the races he enslaved to ally with us, then our odds of winning will be high…”

With his acute senses, Cale’s eyes brightened when he heard Aurora’s words. “Right! The soldiers he enslaved should be around a million. If we can gain their support, then the only problem remaining would be his Earth Enlightenment Realm cultivation level… Aurora, you’re a genius!”

Cale stood up and hugged the cold beauty tightly in his moment of happiness. A

Aurora was too shocked to do anything and she could only helplessly hide her face in Cale’s c_h_e_s_t.

As for Cale, it was too late for him to realize was he has done, but after seeing that Aurora did not reject him, he shamelessly held her for long.
