Chapter 1062:- Fourth Pearl
Chapter 1062:- Fourth Pearl
"How dare a mere disposable tool come to my office and angrily demand how I run things?"
"Bitch did becoming the Emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire make you think that I serve you?" Ren could not reply. He could only tightly clenched his fists, look down and bury the anger that was rising in his heart.
"You are not even the actual emperor of the celestial dragon empire; you are nothing but A fake."
"You said long before you became the emperor that the organisation would receive every kind of support once you became the emperor. Why did that promise go?
"The way I see things ever since you became the emperor. It’s the organisation that has been helping you in every step."
"Whether it’s helping you build 100% look alike, replicate version of the Royal throne and the Royal Crown, whether it’s helping you suppress the rebels within the empire, whether it’s helping you deal with Aditya, it’s us who have been helping you time and time again."
"You can say that, yes, we have received a little bit of help from you. But those were the kinds of things that we could have easily gotten using our resources and powers; it’s just that taking that help from you was more convenient and faster. That is the only form of help you have so far managed to provide back to the organisation."
Leo had many other things to say, but he knew that getting angry with the emperor, who was more like a fake emperor, couldn’t do anything right now.
He was not completely against the idea of attacking Aditya and the Harrington family that very night. In fact, part of him understood why such a move could be beneficial. But what truly irritated him was the way Ren spoke, as if he owned everything and everyone around him. The demanding tone, the arrogance in his words, and the way he acted like others were beneath him completely pissed him off.
Leo had tolerated Ren’s behavior for a very long time. The only reason he endured it was that he understood how important Ren was to the Organisation’s plans regarding the Third Pearl. Because of that, Leo silently overlooked many things over the years that he normally would never have accepted from anyone else.
Within the Organisation, every core member was expected to show the utmost respect when speaking to Leo or even mentioning his name. That was an unspoken rule everyone followed without question. Everyone except Ren. He was the only one who repeatedly ignored that line. At times, he would even openly speak to other core members about how he wished to become the next leader of the Organisation after Leo. No one else had ever dared to even think about such a thing, much less speak about it so bluntly.
Sigh!!!!
Leo sat down and then rubbed his forehead. After about five or 10 minutes of silence in which the emperor of the celestial dragon empire just silently stood without moving an inch, Leo finally told him to sit down.
"Look, I am not entirely against the idea of attacking Aditya tonight." Ren silently stared at Leo.
Leo can tell that Ren was unhappy. But he did not care.
He said all these words because Ren’s attitude and ego had made him forget who was in charge here. Otherwise, there was no need for him to say those words.
"I’m not entirely against the plan of attacking Aditya tonight." Leo thought for a moment and then decided to send people who had already met Aditya.
"For this mission, I have decided to send Sophia. Ask Sophia to convince Renji to attack. Make Sophia tell Renji that this secret attack is being carried out by the order of the emperor to avoid having to fight the civil war, or rather to put an end to the Civil War before it even begins." Ren silently nodded his head.
"Who else is going on this mission?" Ren asked. Attacking the Harrington family meant that they would need a lot of firepower. Just having Sophia and Renji won’t be enough. They needed more powerhouses.
"Look, I will be honest with you. Right now, we are kind of shorthanded." Rather, Leo was reluctant to sacrifice more of the core members for this cause.
With Freya attending the funeral, Leo was able to send his man to sneak into her empire.
Right now, a team of core members is making a plan to create a large distraction so that they can break into the treasury of the empire and take the fourth pearl.
Leo gave that mission the utmost importance. Because to him, this was something that could not fail, even if it meant decreasing the number of core members that he would send to Aditya.
Aditya can be killed at any point. Leo wasn’t in such a rush. Unlike Ren, Leo was very patient and calm.
From the beginning, while it looks like they have been planning to take out Aditya, he has been secretly looking for opportunities to break into the treasury of the goddess of war’s empire and take what belongs to his master.
But it was extremely rare for the goddess of war to leave her empire for such an extended period. This was their chance to break into the treasury and take the fourth pearl from her possession.
The awakening of the being Leo served was drawing very near. For the last one million years, that existence had remained in a deep slumber, waiting for the right moment to awaken once again. Leo wanted to make sure that before that day arrived, all four pearls were already gathered and ready.
That was also one of the main reasons why Leo was not overly worried about Aditya right now. In his mind, once the Organisation obtained the Fourth Pearl, they could simply disappear into the shadows and remain hidden until the awakening finally took place. There would be no need to take unnecessary risks before then.
And once that existence awakened, everything else would become meaningless.
At least, that was what Leo believed.
To him, the power of the being he served was absolute. No matter how talented or monstrous Aditya was becoming, it would not matter in the end. Even if there were ten Adityas fighting together at the same time, Leo still believed that all of them would be killed without much difficulty once that ancient existence finally opened its eyes again.
Of course, Leo wasn’t going to tell all these to Ren. In his mind, Ren had become a very unstable factor for him and for the organisation. Leo still needed him so that they could have a grip on the celestial dragon empire.
But once the fourth pearl is in their hands, Ren serves no purpose to the organisation anymore. When that happened, Leo saw no reason to keep him in this organisation, especially when he was so unstable and lacked the deep loyalty that other core members of this organisation had in them.
"I’m sure the one who will be very happy to get the chance to kill Aditya is Victor." Leo has been holding Victor back for a long time now. It was time to unleash the mad dog.
"Also, ask Sophia to take one more powerful elder of her cultivation Sect."
"I will also prepare a few core members who have been roaming around the tunnel world to return as soon as possible and take part in this mission."
Leo looked at Ren and continued.
"We have already made extensive preparations to stop Aditya. So we won’t be wasting our numbers by sending too many high-ranked cultivators against him. Just sending Victor will be more than enough."
Ren nodded his head.
"You can also select several inner-ranked members of the organisation to take part in this mission. As for who you want to select, I will leave that to you."
Before, Leo might have still cared about killing Aditya because of how quickly he was growing into a major threat. With every passing year, Aditya’s influence, strength, and achievements continued to rise at an abnormal pace, making him someone the Organisation could no longer ignore so easily.
But now, Leo’s priorities had completely changed.
At this moment, the only thing he truly cared about was obtaining the Fourth Pearl. Compared to that objective, everything else had become secondary, even Aditya himself. In Leo’s eyes, securing the Fourth Pearl was far more important than chasing after one man, no matter how dangerous that man was becoming.
As for Aditya, Leo believed there would still be time to deal with him later. If by some unbelievable stroke of luck Aditya managed to survive everything that was coming, then the Organisation could simply focus all of its attention on killing him afterward. But first, the Fourth Pearl had to be obtained at any cost.
