Sage Louis furrowed his eyebrow, "It seems my little brother's guess was correct, it's impossible for all of them to move for just a ninth level slave, he must have secrets in his body, like his master who stopped four teams and burned Michael Tinley with that strange field of white flame.. "
"Big brother," Henry interrupted, "There is something I would like to add.. When we saw Caesar for the first time, he did not show signs of fear or even surprise and actually stood calmly as if he expected this, he also said what is meaning that he had met another group, and he even mentioned the names of Sheldon and Zika, I fear that he has a relationship With the disappearance of that group..."
"what?!"
"That makes sense, even if he isn't a target, as long as he sees more than two squads in the group then he should be dead according to the original plan, but he is now alive and all of that group had dead in return?" another genius confirmed
"Is there any evidence that he did it?" Lewis hurried and asked the one who spoke
"No your highness, we didn't find anything related to those four squads, they've just disappeared..."
"and as according to what witnesses said, Caesar was not involved in the murder of Michael Tinley and his team either, we cannot officially link him to anything..."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid we misjudged... the squad representing the Burton family are not coming to fill in a place, they are here to sweep."
"I agree, there is something fishy about all three of them... We should capture one of those three, or even better, catch them all, to see what their secrets are." A representative of one of the duchies spoke
"Right, 36 tokens, the deaths of Michael and the second group, how can three ninth-level boys associated with all of this without having major secrets backing them?
Whatever they are hiding might be a dangerous weapon that the Black Sun Kingdom is developing, we must find out what happened before we proceed with any plan against them."
"But it is clear that William and all the Saints of the Black Sun are supporting the three. How do we capture them and under what charge?
We can't just arrest the guest that we have invited, you all listened to what was said just now, William announced that he is ready to make this personal! he is almost the crown prince himself, we can't just ignore him!"
Everyone present began to exchange opinions and ways to arrest Caesar and his followers
"Big brother, I support whatever you decide, but I have a minor request..." Henry's voice suddenly echoed in the midst of gossip.
"Speak," Lewis nodded
"I don't know about his secrets and I don't know if he is the killer of the other group or not, I only know one thing... he is very strong,
none of us can defeat him in a one-on-one fight, the next event will be single fights and we can't change that, if he entered the ring and activated that strange white flame field then the fight is over! my point is… if The event started and he successfully entered it... he will definitely win."
The sage's features turned into anger, it wasn't easy for him to hear his little brother admit that he is so weaker than an Earl's offspring, "What do you mean by this?"
"I mean no disrespect, big brother, I will obey Whatever you decide... but please bear in mind that you need to do it before the second event begins, Caesar must be prevented from joining the single fights at any cost or else...
or else the offspring of an Earl in the Kingdom of the Black Sun will emerge as the Final winner even after all the hardships we have put before them that everyone from the other kingdoms witnessed. If this spreads, our kingdom's face will be put in the mud." Henry spoke slowly while looking at his feet. He couldn't stand his older brother's gaze..
Although they are brothers, the age difference between them is a few hundred years, can this still be considered a brotherhood relationship?
There was silence all over the place, this was the first time they thought about the possibility of Caesar being crowned as the champion, but as long as Henry, their strongest fighter in the young generation said this, it is likely that this is what will happen..
"...we can't stop him from entering the final round for no reason, it will only make worse rumors spread."
"We also can't detain him or his followers on any charges, we've seen William's reaction...when the Black Sun will have a real reason to attack us and the overall plan will fail." a politician added
Duke Titus Tinley shouted, "HAVEN'T YOU FAILED ALREADY, YOU IDIOT? That damned Caesar killed 5 whole Dolivarians squads inside the hunting event, and we can't even arrest him for some interrogation, why would they want to attack us now?! we are the ones who should have revenge!!"
"No, Caesar must have told them everything about the groups, there is still a small chance that one of the duchies getting angry and attacking us, and even
if our endeavor fails this time, so what? we will have other opportunities in the near future, but we cannot sabotage everything by officially spoiling relations now and publicly detaining Caesar." the politician stated
"Are you saying that we let him take first place and honor him in our lands? We tell everyone that the son of an earl in the kingdom of the Black Sun is better than everyone we have? everyone from the other kingdoms? we would just boost their reputation further... wouldn't that damage our *overall plan* even more?"
that politician didn't reply again, he was convinced completely by the Duke, they can't boost the enemy's morale in any way...
he sat down again trying to figure out the best possible solution.
everyone returned with small talks trying to find a solution, till suddenly A voice came from the main chair, "Kill him."
The word shook everyone present, "What did you say, Your Highness?"
"Kill him! What's so strange? Kill Caesar Burton."
"Your Highness, this ..."
"I know what you're thinking, but the time is right and the options are very limited... just send competent assassins to do it and then send his body somehow to his family residence to make sure he's dead,
We can't stop him from entering the final event or it will damage our reputation. we also can't arrest or kidnap Caesar Burton, even if we did it and we make him disappear, they would know it was us and we will be forced to release him later or we will have enormous political pressure on our backs,
we can't send a future strong foe to the stronghold of our enemies! so the only option is to kill him and make them know that he is dead, I would rather have them point fingers blindly and say we killed him than any of the other options! We must get rid of him right now and in complete secrecy"
"But what about the secrets that boy holds? It might be hugely beneficial for us."
Sage Louis nodded, "Whatever secrets he has, his two followers hold secrets like it or even more, after killing that boy Caesar, kidnapped his followers in complete silence,
it will be easy... after the operation ends and the boy's corpse is revealed, the Saints of the Black Sun Kingdom would be madly in search of evidence concerning Caesar's murder or even come directly to confront us,
no one would care about the matter of his followers, they wouldn't even have the guts to demand us anything concerning the two of them, because the reports said they registered as slaves...
would they use their political strength to pressure us for *slaves*? impossible.. they would expose themselves in front of everyone as the liars they are, for trying to sneak in those two national geniuses as mere slaves.
as for the dead Caesar, We'll simply deny all the accusations and let them shout as they please, they would shut up eventually, for a dead genius is no longer a genius.
they dare to bring in three secret weapons disguised as an Earl's son and two slaves to try to humiliate us? I'll make them regret it!"
"This… this is brilliant! I think I agree with His Highness, this is really the safest solution."
"Your Highness's words are a revelation from heaven! When will we execute this plan, Your Highness?"
"the next event is a week after the first one, it's a known rule, and It will be officially announced after the sorting and ranking of the first event ends today, that means you have a whole week, everything must be over before the seventh day." Sage Louis issued his last command, then rose from his chair and disappeared
He left behind a huge council of saints and politicians, the mind and heart of the Dolivarian kingdom...
all anxious to think of the best way to kill Caesar and kidnap Theo and Peon within a week without leaving evidence.
