The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 409 Inferno Daemon's envoys

"Do you understand that everything you say will go on the record? Are you sure you don't want to correct your statement?"

Damos would only pass this information to his superior, but people would find out eventually, and members of the Inferno Daemon Race would not be happy with Kain's statement.

The Scarlet King only smiled as he heard the question from the Atrox. He knew his words could cause some trouble but did not care since he needed this tale to spread.

"As I was saying, they chased me, but we stumbled upon a person just as everything seemed lost. The assassins went after him as they did not want to leave a witness, but that was their last mistake. That person was a true powerhouse and, with a single glance, forced the duo to take their own lives."

Damos' eyes widened as he heard that. He could also kill a Wave King without a problem, but only using a glance to force someone into suicide was an entirely different realm.

"Who is that person?"

The Scarlet King smiled as he heard the question and gave a short answer.

"My Master."

Immediately, a flash of cautiousness appeared in Damos' eyes, but there was also a shred of enlightenment. He had a report that contained everything regarding the person known as Kain Lauzer.

He was supposed to be a young man, the son of an Archduke, but with minimal talent and even less influence. Definitely not the genius before him who could stop the chase of a Wave King and whose aura seemed to defy the heavens. Many explanations could account for such a change, and a lucky chance in the form of an ancient master was not an unusual one.

If that person simply got rid of the killer, that was one thing, but the fact that it helped the young man transform from a carp into a dragon meant their relationship was not shallow. So, if Damos were to do something wrong to the boy, he would have to face the wrath of an enigmatic expert.

After a moment, Damos once again asked a question, and this time, his tone was respectful and in no way forceful.

"I need to ask for the report. Could you give me the name of your Master and his description? If that is a problem, we can write that you were asked not to divulge information about him."

"Don't worry. My Master said I could reveal everything that I felt like. He didn't care since no one would ever find him if he didn't want to. He wears a red robe, with bandages covering his entire body, and a red metallic mask on his face."

The Scarlet King paused at this point as a scheming light appeared in his eyes, one immensely devious but that he was able to hide from the Atrox.

"Even I don't know his true name, but he uses the moniker Scarlet King."

A sharp light appeared in Damos' eyes as he heard that name. He had never heard of it before but was definitely a Saint Hypnosis Master capable of inducing a Wave King into suicide and evolving the talent of a young man from zero to hero in just a couple of months.

"I wonder, is your Master a Genetic Coder Master?"

Damos wanted to learn more about this Scarlet King along with the secret behind Kain's sudden improvement in talent, but when he noticed the cold light in the eyes of the young man, he knew he was pushing it.

"Forget that. Well, I have all I need for my report. I appreciate your honesty, Young Lord Lauzer. I will now escort you to the residence of the envoys of the Inferno Daemon Clan."

"I appreciate it."

The Scarlet King nodded and followed Damos out of the building into a teleportation formation in the central plaza. Just like with Eden, there were formations that made travel easier inside Evernight as the place was truly massive.

It did not take long for the duo to arrive in front of a massive castle in the center of a volcanic range that was full of lava and ash around them. While this environment could seem hostile, it was actually very comfortable for the Inferno Daemon Race, which was why it was selected to hold the envoys.

The Scarlet King walked calmly to the Magma Castle and crossed into it without a problem. The computer ring in his hand already had all the permits. Maids and butlers were moving around the castle, but they only bowed when they saw him and carried on with their duties.

The Scarlet King gave a short nod to those people before his eyes went around the place, and he failed to see any other member of the Inferno Daemon Race.

'Right, it should be around that time of the day.'

A small smile appeared on the Scarlet King's face as he went to the castle's west wing, and as he stood in front of a massive gate, he put his hand over it. A shock wave burst from his hand, opening it with so much force that it nearly sent the gate flying away.

On the other side of the gate was a massive dining hall with sixty-six chairs around a rectangular table, and fifty-seven of them were occupied by members of the Inferno Daemon Race. Most of them were members of the Hell Clan, but around a dozen belonged to the Abyssal Clan.

Astonishment appeared in the eyes of the people as they turned to the gate and saw Kain appear on the other side with a smile on his face. Many of them only showed shock, but there were a few whose eyes revealed something else.

While the youngest did their best to hide those emotions, the Scarlet King was able to see it all, confirming much of the information he gained from Orphin and shedding new light on certain individuals.
