In a luxuriously decorated room, a middle aged man was kneeling in front of a brown haired youth.

The youth was sitting on a chair arrogantly, yet it did not feel out of place. It was as if it would be weird if the youth did not act like that. The youth gently said "Rise."

"Yes Your Royal Highness." The middle aged many replied.

Indeed, the youth was Su Yuhan who arrived in Zahrah province the day Avery and Nigel both went to meet Kylo.

And if any Zahrah province fighters saw the middle aged man, they would be surprised since the middle aged man was one of the 'powerhouses' of the province, Malkam.

The 'lower ranked subordinate' Su Xun talked about, was Malkam.

"Your Royal Highness, it has only been a few years since I last saw you and you became even more majestic. With your strength arriving in this little province is giving a lot face to the fighters of this province." Malkam tried his best to use his glib tongue.

Su Yuhan gently smiled without replying to the flattery and asked "Have you been protecting her properly these years?"

Malkam knew that 'protecting' was just a fancy word for 'observing'.

Malkam nodded his head vigorously and said "Rest assured, Your Royal Highness, I have been protecting her to the best of my abilities."

Su Yuhan nodded his head once again and said "This time I came not just to visit her but also to increase our influence in these and surrounding areas."

Malkam was a little troubled by the sudden declaration. He cautiously asked "But there are various powerful organisations backing most of the powers.

The Merchant Alliance, The Tour Magique, Xia state's backers, and many more I might not even know.

Of course no one can compare to the Su Empire but if all of them attack at once we do not have many guards." Malkam hastily added the last sentence in order not to cause any displeasure to the prince.

The prince just shook his head towards his overly cautious subordinate but he did not mind. Sometimes a little fear was better when ruling your subordinates.

He also did not mind Malkam not knowing other powers because he knew if other powers wanted to hide themselves from the public, then no one in this province was capable enough to uncover their identity. Like how Malkam serves Su Yuhan without anyone's knowledge.

"The guards I bought this time, I doubt there would be any people from the province to match their strength.

And I also have my plans to take atleast some areas. But just in case lets be cautious and tread carefully the next few months.

What I am interested is in the person named Kylo."

Just as the name was mentioned Malkam's clenched his teeth and anger could be seen in his eyes.

Su Yuhan observed him carefully. In fact he knew Malkam was a petty guy and someone who just keeps other's status in mind and not the person.

And that was why he chose Malkam as his subordinate. Su Yuhan might be a scum as a human being but he was a prince of an Empire after all.

In fact he would have never appeared in these rural areas in the past if not for his fiancee running away to these rural areas.

And he knew he would need someone who feared and respected him to keep tabs on his fiancee so that she would not be able to run away from him.

And that was when he found Malkam. Malkam was not special in any means. He was neither well known nor much powerful. But it was because of all these traits he chose Malkam.

He kept this hidden from everyone except Su Xun. Not even his mother or other brothers knew about it.

Now that a crowned prince would be announced he guessed it would be better to increase his influence in these regions. His father sent him here for the same reason as well.

Though he does not know why his father is interested in this rural region.

Upon asked about Kylo, Malkam truthfully let Su Yuhan know about the events that happened.

Su Yuhan snorted internally [What a fool! To provoke without knowing knowing the person's background, motive or real strength.]

Su Yuhan was annoyed but he did not let it show on his face. He just increased his evaluation of Kylo.

[Strength aside, this guy is definitely intelligent. A troublesome variable appeared in my plan.]

He looked at Malkam and waved his hand "Alright. You carry out your revenge plan. You can go now. Also send Feng Xian in my room."

Malkam bowed deeply acknowledging his orders before going out of the room.

After a moment a muscular guy appeared. He bowed deeply and before he could greet, Su Yuhan simply asked "Have you set the meeting with my fiancee?"

"Yes, she let us know it would be possible to meet her in 4 days." The sturdy looking guy replied without any expression on his face.

Su Yuhan nodded and said "Alright, send Zheng Yuqin to my room"

Zheng Yuqin was the golden haired girl who was raped by Su Yuhan before he was summoned by Su Xun.

He made sure to bring her in order to release his boredom.

The sturdy guy just bowed deeply acknowledging the orders before leaving the room.

***

In a garden, around a table there were 3 old people, 2 men and 1 women, discussing with a heavy atmosphere.

One of the old men slammed the table and spoke with anger in his tone "Stop with your nonsense!! I do not care what you all say but I will take my revenge no matter what!!!"

Another old man snorted and spoke with an annoyed tone "Hmph! Do not go around and do something which will humiliate us.

Be careful, We are here on a mission! If we fail because of you doing something do not expect the leader to go easy on you."

They were already arguing for 15 minutes but the old lady never opened her mouth.

The first old man flinched for a moment on the reply he got before shouting once again "Do you expect me to keep quiet when my little dear granddaughter was killed by some unknown bastard?!?!"

"Enough with your nonsense!" This was the first time the Old Lady opened her mouth, but the moment she opened her mouth both of them shut down.

It is because she was the leader of the expedition this time. But it was not just because of her being a leader.

It is because she released her cultivation base pressure which instantly shut down both the old men.

The first old man gulped when he remembered her status and strength and thought

[She is even stronger than before!]

"We are here for a business." The old lady then looked towards the first old man before continuing "Even I am sad after hearing little Freya's death, but we cannot let the sadness affect out morale."

After pausing for a moment she asked the first old man with a little intimidating tone "Alright?"

The first old man reluctantly nodded his head.

Indeed the old man was Freya's grandfather and one of the big shot from the Tour Magique.

(Author Note:- Freya was the blue haired lady, Kylo killed along with Xia state's king at chapter 13)

The old man then got up and left the room.

As soon as he exited the room the second old man snorted "Does that old coot really think we are so easy to fool?!"

The old woman asked in a little funny tone "What do you mean?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said "Do not act like you don't know what's happening..."

"You mean the revenge thing?" The old woman chuckled.

"Or else what?" The old man asked in a tone as if stating something obvious.

The old woman shook his head and said "Obviously we know it."

At this moment her lips curled up and said "He thinks he is smart. By acting like Freya's dear grandfather he would get close to that region and get to steal the treasure as well complete his other objectives."

"Hmph! I knew it you would know everything." The old man nodded his head.

The old woman, with her lips still curled up continued "Well lets him give a little freedom..."

"Huh?!" The old man was confused.

[If they knew about his plan shouldn't they stop it?] That was what the old man was thinking.

As if answering to his inner thoughts the old woman continued "The leader has different thoughts and plans, We will just follow him."

The old man suddenly got to knew that he himself knew nothing.

Neither about the old woman's thoughts.

Neither about the leader's thoughts.

Neither about the mission.

And thats when suddenly started worrying about his future.
