Chapter 530: Blake's Situation and Plans
While Minos was taking care of his business, a group of six people was currently camped in a forested region of the Kingdom of the Waves, a place filled with powerful beasts. This characteristic made this an ideal place to escape from humans...
Of those people, all of them there had already reached the 6th stage of cultivation, with the weakest person at level 50 and the strongest person at level 54.
However, despite being all Spiritual Kings, five of these people were only subordinates of the sixth person, a dark-haired young man, the weakest of the group.
Anyway, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground and highly tall trees in this region. And in the middle of this place, those people talked in low voices, in a tone that only people or beings, at least at the 6th stage, could perceive.
Of those five people, three of them were standing, in different positions, 120 degrees from each other, watching their surroundings.
Finally, the other two remaining subordinates were seated beside that dark-haired young man, who had a newspaper in his hands right now.
"Unexpectedly, this young man hasn't gone to one of the Flaming Empire sects, don't you think, Doran?" One of those two men next to the young man asked the person in front of him this.
"In fact. Why would anyone do this? Doesn't he have bigger ambitions? Or maybe he just wants to live his life in peace?"
"It makes no sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't expose himself by showing his strength in that competition." So one of those three men on the outskirts of this small camp commented.
"It's truly curious. If I have the opportunity to meet this guy in the future, I'd like to hear his story..." Finally, the dark-haired young man said something as he stored that newspaper in his spatial ring.
Then, another person said. "But his motives don't matter anymore. The point is, which organization will find him first!"
"Hmm, but this will be quite tumultuous. I have heard from informants that some regional families are not happy with this information. For them, it would be better if this young man had gone to the empire or had never shown himself in such competition." One of those two men commented at the same time that he held a mug of hot tea in his hands.
"I disagree. In my view, there won't be any turmoil. As long as this young man is not interested in showing off, he can hide in a region like the one we are in, and in a few years, people will forget about him."
"This is our chance."
"Let's use this chaos to our advantage to harm that bastard Charles!"
"Prince Blake, this is very dangerous! The third prince now has the support of the royal family and will always have the protection of a level 57 bodyguard!" One of those men said, trying to get that idea out of his boss's mind.
Blake Walker, the second prince of the Kingdom of the Waves, whom Minos had met over a year and a half, had lost his fight for the throne, but not his desire for it!
After that incident, he had fought many times against his two brothers until he had won the space of the first prince, the one who had given up in the final part of the contest for the throne. However, Blake's situation was still not favorable, and as expected, Charles had become the heir to the local crown.
Blake had fled from his younger brother's pursuit as soon as Charles became the local heir, escaping to this location with his strongest subordinates. But even though he had lost and had to go into exile in one of the mountains of the Endless Snow Mountain Range, Blake hadn't lost his ambition to become king.
But this young man was not a power-seeking idiot. On the contrary, he was aware of his disadvantaged position. After all, even if he was sure that those strongest elders in the family would never act against him, that wasn't the same for subordinates...
And unfortunately, in this case, the Walker family was mighty and even had subordinates at level 57, people who usually took care of the personal safety of the king or heir.
But even if Charles had such powers up his sleeves, Blake was counting on someone to deal with these issues, as long as he continued to disrupt his younger brother's life. That is, maybe one of this young man's actions could expose his brother to the right people!
Blake was not a fool who courted death. On the contrary, he could be considered a very reasonable person. And as such, he had never forgotten that his younger brother had a terrifying enemy...
A frightening enemy who had been offended in one of the worst ways!
Blake then said in a cold tone. "No. With the chaos in our region, we will be able to act more confidently, as Charles and his team will have many problems to deal with. Hence, we will gradually make his life hell, creating as much opportunity as possible for that person to act!"
"Do you mean him?" One of those men, someone who had survived the battle that day, asked this seriously.
"Exactly. I'm sure that person will come back to get rid of Charles. We just need to create opportunities for him, and sooner or later, we will be successful!"
"Charles will fall into enemy hands, and I will be able to assume the position left by him!"
