Worldly Overlord - Chapter 104

“Princess Elyse…. That kid is going to cause a lot of trouble for us in the future if we don’t deal with him.” The old man said as he stood up.

The way the old man addressed Elyse, it was hard to believe that he was her grandfather, as he spoke to her with absolute respect. It was almost as if he was talking to one of his colleagues.

A sneer took shape around the corner of Elyse’s lips, “What wrong with him?” and of course she knew what the old man was talking about, she still asked anyway.

“He’s growing too fast, the other forces who supported Clifford would feel threatened as one day he will come for them for what they did.” the old man said.

“Princess Elyse it’s better we handle the kid before the others acts on him. If he becomes stronger and the house of sinners takes him in, then we are all doomed.”

If other words, the old man said didn’t get to Elyse when the old man mentioned the house of sinners her expression changed greatly.

The house of sinners was an existence that even the big three of the underground world were wary about. And if Devon should receive such force backing, it was hard to imagine how severe it would be for those who helped Clifford.

Elyse couldn’t help but clench her hand into a fist as she wondered if she was heartless enough to kill her brother.

After a moment, Elyse spoke out, “I’m going to take care of my brother, you don’t have to worry about him causing problems for us.”

The old man stared at Elyse for a brief moment, before he then nodded his head at her. He was beginning to understand why Clifford made her his second in command.

…………..

Devon returned to the white auction as soon as he left the inn of life. He hated the feeling that the old man gave him, and before he ends up doing something stupid he left.

At the moment, Devon was currently seating on a chair in his room, and in front of him was a building layout that was placed on a table.

Devon had a blue pen in his hand, as he marked out several spots on the building layout and continued mumbling several words.

“The inner foyer is the only area that is the weakest defense,” Devon said as he marked out another area on the building layout.

With the information, Devon got from Melissa about the blood essence of the beasts, especially the fact that only beasts who had attained the saint rank were capable of possessing the blood essence.

Devon knew he had to have something on him. A life-saving item to be precise, he had told that person not to interfere in any life and death situation he encounters.

So, he needed a life-saving item, just I’m a case of anything.

Melissa had also said that he was just looking for death by going to ominous land with the strength he had. Melissa couldn’t have been lying to him about the danger of that place, so Devon knew he had to prepare himself fully before venturing on his journey.

Which was where the Melendez family layout became very useful to him.

The orb of life which the Melendez family had was useful to him to be specific. If before Devon intended to head to the ominous land first, with what was on the ground now he didn’t have any choice but to go to Melendez family first.

And since Devon didn’t want to ask for help from that being inside him, the orb of life was the best life-saving item he could think of at the moment.

As not only could it nourish his soul, the orb of life would also revitalize him, provided that there was sufficient life energy present in it.

The life energy could heal any injury he had even faster than his regeneration ability.

“I should be able to handle those guards in the foyer within five minutes,” Devon said, it was as though he was talking to someone.

Devon wasn’t the only one in the room, as beside him was the black sword, which was hovering in the air. The black sword would tremble from time to time as if it was also agreeing to Devon’s words.

The black sword and Devon had also begun to understand one another after the times they had spent together.

Ever since the black sword had absorbed the primordial chaos energy and had awakened a little, it started appearing outside frequently.

And in this case, it was the same.

The layout Karen had given Devon was a huge one, It was the whole building layout of a Diamond rank clan, so it was within expectation.

However, the only area Devon had under his raider was the main family house, as that was where the orb was kept. Immediately, when Devon saw the main family house layout, he knew it was a mansion.

As this was the exact layout of how a mansion should be.

He had come across several mansion layouts a lot of times, so he knew how a mansion layout looked like.

The main family house was like no other place in the Melendez house, as it was the place where the original Melendez bloodline stays, and also was the strongest among all other families in the Melendez house.

They were several branch family households in the Melendez house but compared to the main family house they were pitiful.

Not only was the main family house the strongest among the rest, but it was also the most resourceful and the backbone of the Melendez family. It was because of this main family house that the Melendez family could proudly call themselves a Diamond rank forces.

The inner foyer Devon mentioned was one of the corridors in the main family house. However, the inner foyer was the only corridor that lead to Edward’s brother room and a few meters away from it was the Melendez family ancestor’s great room

Among all other corners in the main family house, this was the place that had the weakest defense. And there was a reason for that.

No one was foolish enough to near the great room, not even the patriarch would come there except he was asked to come and if someone decides to be foolish to that extent they would have to deal with the wrath of that person.

This person was no one other than Edward’s elder brother, it was because of this person that the elders of the Melendez family didn’t guard the foyer as they did to the rest.

It was not a secret in the Melendez family that except from the patriarch and six other elders, no one else was capable of stopping that person.

Devon’s attention was fully directed on that place, “He should at least be in the void transformation realm.” Devon said.

With the information, he had gotten about that person, who was the only realm Devon could think he must have attained.

To be honest, Devon couldn’t be wrong, the strongest expert that could be present in a Diamond rank force was a peak void transformation realm expert.

Anything higher than that would make that force undergo a qualitative state, though it still wouldn’t become a platinum rank force, it would become a top-tier Diamond rank force.

The Melendez family wasn’t a top-tier Diamond rank force, so the strongest expert in the family could only be at the peak of the void transformation realm.

Considering that they were only six people in the family who were able to defeat Edward’s elder brother, then he had to also be in the void transformation realm.

A smile appeared on Devon’s face, as he hoped he wouldn’t be disappointed by the Melendez family, void transformation realm experts.

If that room was dealt with, then Devon had to step into the great room and steal the orb of life from the vault.

Even though Devon was extremely confident in his strength, he would prefer not to engage in a battle with the ancestor of the Melendez family.

So with adequate planning and preparation, Devon had arranged some obstacles for the ancestor. It was this obstacle that would help him in successfully stealing away the orb of life.

Though with absolute power, all this planning wasn’t necessary, Devon didn’t want to engage in something like this without having one or two things planned.

A person who had the brain but not the power was ten times more useful than the one with power but didn’t have the brain.

Having the power but not the brain to apply it was equivalent to not having any of the two. Because if power was everything, then the world wouldn’t be the same.

In some hours from now, Devon would realize the terror of facing a void transformation realm expert, and it was also this battle that would make him realize something about his strength.

The Melendez family was about to welcome the Overlord.
