A Demon's Journey

As the Misty Flower Pavilion expanded rapidly in the Berian Kingdom, Nancy decided it was time to accomplish their true objective.

The Misty Flower Pavilion's true objective was to gather information and manipulate people.

To accomplish this, the Misty Flower Pavilion launched another service. Midnight Party.

Midnight Party occurred regularly. The food is absolutely free at this party, while people have to pay for their drinks.

Nancy ordered her subordinates to engage men in casual conversation and acquire information about them.

After the party, her subordinates would write that information and create a detailed file about each individual.

Through this method, the Misty Flower Pavilion could acquire information about everyone in the Berian Kingdom. They could utilize this information to manipulate the Berian Kingdom completely.

These files are stored in the Spatial Ring of the respective branch heads, and every effort is made to prevent this information from leaking.

The Misty Flower Pavilion began to acquire all sorts of information. And after three days of employing this scheme, Nancy came across shocking information.

"Generous Blazing Archer wishes to enter the Pinhian Republic. He is seeking assistance to accomplish his objective," One of Misty Flower Pavilion's employees informed Nancy of this information.

Nancy naturally knew the identity of the Generous Blazing Archer. His name is Aurelio. He belongs to an ordinary family that barely survived.

However, Aurelio's tremendous talent in utilizing weapons caused him to become famous very early. He even managed to kill a warrior who tried to harm his family without possessing Ardor.

This feat naturally shocked everyone in the region.

One of the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster's disciples was passing through that area, and he heard this news. He decided to meet Aurelio and check his talent.

Aurelio's talent is much higher than his anticipation, and the man immediately decides to bring Aurelio to the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster's camp.

The Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster was shocked as he tested Aurelio's talent. However, this wasn't enough to convince the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster to take Aurelio as his disciple.

He set up three trials to further test Aurelio's ability and intelligence.

These trials were tricky, and if Aurelio didn't possess impressive skill or ingenuity, he would fail.

Aurelio passed those trials stunningly. His outside-box thinking and extraordinary skill convinced the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster to accept him as his disciple.

From there, Aurelio became the most talented disciple of the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster.

"Why would he want to enter the Pinhian Republic?" Nancy pondered aloud.

A few seconds later, she murmured, "Is it because of Rueben Blake? Does he also want to kill Rueben?"

"Madam Yrellea informed me that Rueben has nearly recovered from his injuries. The assassins who targeted him have already been killed by either the Church of Mubesni or his comrades. Moreover, the Vicious Lightning Paragon is going to return soon. Perhaps a month later, he will be back in the Pinhian Republic. So, why is Aurelio targeting Rueben?" Nancy wondered.

Actually, the reason was quite simple. Aurelio knew Rueben was gravely injured after his battle against five Demon Kings.

He just didn't wish to fight an injured Rueben. He recently heard the news that Rueben has recovered completely and is massacring his assassins.

This news delighted Aurelio. He now felt like entering the Pinhian Republic and fighting Rueben.

Unfortunately for Aurelio, both countries have already closed their borders at this moment.

It was impossible to enter the Pinhian Republic without raising huge chaos. And Aurelio didn't wish to do that. Thus, he was looking for another way to enter the Pinhian Republic.

After Nancy received this news, she thought deeply about this matter but couldn't make up her mind.

She felt that having Aurelio as an ally would be extremely beneficial. Even the Monarch of the Berian Kingdom wouldn't wish to offend Aurelio.

This was because the Monarch deeply feared Aurelio's power and background. Aurelio held a unique relationship with the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster.

It is to the point that people speculate Aurelio to be Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster's illegitimate son.

He is the favorite disciple of the Dreadful Whirlwind Grandmaster, and if someone happened to him, the old man would certainly go crazy.

Nancy consulted Yrellea regarding this issue.

"Madam, please guide me. What should I do?" Nancy queried.

This problem troubled Yrellea as well. This could be an opportunity or a disaster for the Misty Flower Pavilion.

"Tell me more about this man," Yrellea uttered.

"…" Nancy narrated every bit of information she had about Aurelio.

After hearing the entire information about Aurelio, Yrellea repeated, "You are sure that this man is generous and kind?"

"I am sure, Madam. After hearing this news, I naturally ordered my subordinates to find out everything about him. And till now, I have received no nasty news about him," Nancy reported calmly and confidently.

"Okay. Meet this man and inform him that you can secretly make him enter the Pinhian Republic. Meanwhile, employ some reputable 5 Star Array Masters to establish the Teleportation Array. Make sure to have these Array Masters sign a rigorous contract to prevent them from leaking this array."

"As you command, Madam," Nancy responded.

After three long days, Nancy approached Aurelio in a restaurant while he was seated with his friends.

"Hello, Sir Aurelio. Can I talk to you for a moment?" Nancy spoke.

Aurelio's friends were instantly charmed as they glanced at Nancy. They immediately started clamoring, "Please. Please. We would be pleased to have you join us."

Unlike his friends, though, Aurelio wasn't charmed and asked calmly, "Who are you? And what is this about?"

Upon hearing that tone, Nancy understood that Aurelio wasn't affected by her beauty or even that perfume which made most people lose their minds.

Considering that Aurelio didn't even react after smelling that perfume, it implies that he has strong willpower.

This further meant that Nancy couldn't use her cheap tricks to manipulate Aurelio. Thus, she spoke, "I wished to talk to you regarding something important. I hope you will be kind enough to join me in my suite later. You can ask for my room number at the reception."

Nancy soon left the restaurant and headed to her suite.

After two hours, Aurelio visited her.

Nancy was sure he would visit her because Aurelio had nothing to fear from Nancy. He could sense that she was only a 5-Star Warrior, so that she couldn't harm him. Moreover, he was curious about what she wanted to talk.

"A bird told me that Sir Aurelio wishes to enter the Pinhian Republic secretly. Is this rumor correct?" Nancy asked.

"What if it is?" Aurelio responded with a question.

Nancy spoke, "No need to be so defensive, Sir Aurelio. I am a friend. I am visiting you to inform you that I have a way for you to enter the Pinhian Republic secretly. Naturally, I have two conditions."

Aurelio seemed surprised to hear those words. He calmly asks, "I don't know how you got this information. But that's right. I do wish to enter the Pinhian Republic. So speak. What are your conditions."

Nancy states, "The conditions are actually very simple, Sir Aurelio. You must become the Ambassador of the Misty Flower Pavilion. Naturally, this post won't restrict you in any manner. You just have to publicly declare that you are tied to the Misty Flower Pavilion."

"Hmph. You just want to take advantage of my popularity," Aurelio jeered.

"That's correct," Nancy agreed. She further added, "This is my first condition. My second condition is that you must not kill Rueben Blake after entering the Pinhian Republic."

Upon hearing those words, Aurelio unconsciously flared his Ardor. His unfathomable Ardor instantly crushed Nancy and brought her to her knees. He asked domineeringly, "How do you know I am planning to fight Rueben?!"
