"To think Black Hand would attempt to assassinate us. They even did half of the job successfully," mentioned Daniel.
As a leader of Black Vipers, he knew more of the Underworld than Alchemist. The forbidden rule that prevented other organizations from attacking each other was supreme and only fools would attempt to break it.
However, there was an unspoken loophole; the period of chaos. Any period of chaos would make the rules void and it would produce a free-for-all environment.
Yet, was it that simple…..?
Would a man actively seek danger just for the sake of sowing chaos?
Daniel analyzed the situation once again, "Venom Order and Black Hand are affiliated, so it comes as a surprise to no one that they would act together. To target us, that would mean that they are trying to remove all competitions, taking advantage of these perilous times."
"Nevertheless, I didn't expect them to be so proactive. What exactly is the reason for that? Surely, they don't expect to be successful in their endeavors."
Following Daniel's thought process, Alchemist mentioned, "What if they are that assured? This would make them reckless, wouldn't it?"
Daniel realized, "The other organizations wouldn't be so easy to destroy. They can only be assured if they.....blinking hell, it would appear that there is a bigger organization helping them. Somehow, I predict Starhold would become a battlegrounds for the higher echelons of the pyramid."
"The chaos is spreading here, it seems," said Alchemist.
He had just finished scavenging the assassin's body for anything that caught his eyes, but it was to no avail. There wasn't anything fancy on him except for hidden daggers and poisons.
He lightly bowed, "With that said, I shall take my exit and use the few days we have to prepare for the incoming chaos."
Just as he was about to leave, Daniel called him out, "Alchemist..."
Alchemist looked back, "Yes?"
Daniel eyed him with a red glint, "Don't pull that stunt ever again?"
"What are you referring to?"
"I was watching you. You knew the food was poisoned long ago, but decided to wait until Toka consumed the right amount before you alarmed us," divulged Daniel.
That was why he didn't touch the meal. He was suspicious of why Alchemist wasn't eating. Thankfully, he made the right decision.
Alchemist sighed in response, "I could say the same for you. Why didn't you alert Toka the moment you noticed my strange action?"
His words put Daniel on the spot as the other three influential figures gasped. Somehow, they had become extras in this big game.
Seeing that Daniel could not provide an answer, Alchemist gave him one, "We are all seeking the golden fruit in this chaotic field. You used me to eliminate your rival. I, on the other hand, was tired of listening to Toka's foolish rants."
With that said, he took his leave.
As Daniel watched his fading silhouette, he thought with a look of seriousness, 'Alchemist.....he is scary.'
Nevertheless, he had gained full control of Starhold's Black Market. All that was left was to report the change of situation to his superiors and wait for further instruction...

Two days later.
Academy District.
Reve sat on his chair as he went deep into thoughts. It had been two days since he started training the first generation. Some of them has started showing progress in their training but the greater large were still the same. Albeit, he had to admit they were a bit different from themselves before training.
It seemed he couldn't rely on them for another five months or more.
'Hmmmmm...I'm tired. I never expected this mission to be this stressful. I wonder how Nikan and the others are doing. They better be more stressed than I.'
The other prospects of Gehenna Order were scattered around the globe searching for the shards of Sheol, or at least, pinpointing the source of the rumors. It was definitely not going to be easy for them.
Reve's room suddenly shook violently. The calm atmosphere began roaring with violent black winds.
The black winds concentrated to form a small tornado that quickly dispersed to reveal a human-sized black hawk,
"Oh Demis, it's good to see you again," greeted Reve.
"Hmph. Unfortunately, I don't reciprocate this feeling," scoffed Demis.
Reve didn't take offense to that and waited patiently for Demis to speak again.
"I come bearing letters from the Immortal Witch," announced Demis.
It materialized two letters and sent them Reve's way, who caught in with one hand. He also dropped a small chest on Reve's bed.
Noticing that Demis was about to leave, Reve pressed, "Have you thought about my offer?"
"...I'm still thinking about it."
Demis then disappeared, leaving Reve alone with the two letters and a chest.
'Tsk Tsk. He will have to consider it sooner or later.'
Reve had seen it.
The King of Misery, Demis, was bored of his everyday routine. His eyes yearned for excitement, and what better excitement was there than messing with Titan-related missions
'Anyway, I have to see what Circe wrote.'
Hence, he tore open one of the letters and read it. His eyes were absolutely concentrated as he absorbed the content of the letter.
The letter contained Circe's reply to his search for magic drugs. In it, she wrote a lot of details concerning magic drugs in general and listed some good ones that would very well serve its purpose.
However, being the expert that she is, she picked one excellent one for him and wrote down the exact recipe.
'Hmmm….I will focus on that later.'
Reve picked up the second letter. It was just as he expected, containing Circe's message on the curse of Nimiel.
At first, she mocked him for promising something he had no idea of how to fulfill. She then told him that the cure for the curse is almost non-existent and would require rare materials.
Finally, she bragged about how she had once come across a mage with the curse back in her younger years. Back then, the curse was not yet named and anyone who had it was said to have been cursed by the devil.
Luckily, she and the mage managed to create a cure for it and it was effective. The mage survived past her young adult age!
