[401-600] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 493 - First Step

The Senior Master that retreated from fighting Torkez glanced at the dark curtain on the southern part of the city.

"What is that...?"

He muttered while narrowing his eyes. The things that arise in this city weren't in his expectations. He thought that it would revolve around the Nine Lives and Red Witch but it seems that some unknown forces were moving in the dark.

First, the unknown Extermination Realm which was stronger than he had met before. He guessed that even the other Senior Master of the Purple Heart Tower wouldn't win against Torkez in a one-on-one battle.

Then, there's this mysterious black barrier. The vibe that he was getting from this wasn't good and his instinct was also telling him to not approach it carelessly.

"I need to report this to Tower Master. Perhaps our strength isn't enough to handle this alone so maybe we need to receive help from the other towers."

He muttered as he glanced at the citizens of this city. They were all panicking and the city guards were trying to calm them down but he knew that the city guards didn't have any idea what's happening in this city. Even the city lord could only sit back in his mansion.

The underground ruler of this city was the Red Witch and Nine Lives. Those two organizations possessed greater power than a mere city lord of a backward city of the Numan Country.

But at this moment, the Senior Master knew that the two organizations were facing a predicament that they couldn't imagine. Some unknown group of people has infiltrated this city and they were trying to bring the two groups down.

The city lord was freed from the grasp of the two organizations but he knew that someone would take the position of those two. The citizens were worried because they realized that a storm will come after this. The hungry nobles in the central part of the city will move.

The Senior Master turned around and left. He was going to leave this place and report what he had witnessed to Tower Master.

...

Two days had passed quickly since the fall of the Nine Lives and Red Witch. Their leaders were gone and no one could command them so the Clautus Group used this chance to swallow their group.

With Torkez as a backer, the Clautus Group took half of the wealth of the two groups in just two days. They also expanded their group and tried to fight the nobles in the central part of the city but they didn't stand a chance.

Even though the city lord wanted to partake in this chaos, he didn't join because he didn't have enough strength.

Without a backer of an Extermination Realm, he wouldn't be able to win no matter what he did.

Torkez and the core members of the Clautus Group were inside a spacious room with exquisite design. This mansion was one of the wealth that they took from the Nine Lives.

"How is it?" Torkez asked.

"We've taken fifty-four percent of the Red Witch's wealth and thirty-four percent of Nine Lives. The nobles in the central part are having a feast as they sent out everything to devour the pieces that were left behind by the two organizations." Remina paused for a moment before she added, "We fought some of them on the way but we clearly lack manpower. In the past two days, we've recruited some of the former members of Red Witch and Nine Lives to expand our group. Right now we had more than two hundred members around the city."

"It's not enough but we can't do anything about it. Most of the members of the Red Witch and Nine Lives died in the incident in the southern part. They were massacred by some powerhouse." Torkez said as he rubbed the space between his brows.
