Another month passed. In this time Kadyn earned enough points to upgrade the shop to the next level. Rank 4. The shop unlocked another function after upgrading. Now he could establish branches in different kingdoms and empires, all over Pengo. Though the Branch Manager needed to be at least tinum Rank employee and rank 3 mage. It wasn''t too hard as the shop already had quite a few people who fulfilled the requirement, already.


    Nheless, this was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. He already felt the need to establish the branches, as just a single shop wasn''t enough. It would take forever to upgrade the shop to rank 6, if they just work in a single ce. After all, now they needed an exuberant amount of energy points to advance.


    Other than energy points they also needed employees. So Kadyn started to recruit. He summoned Potioneer Yel and Elder Jyn from Avibria City. He asked even the Emperor of the Ceston Empire. Though at first he was stunned as if Kadyn was joking with him. To make the drama short, Kadyn challenged Kallus, and the poor guy didn''tst a minute in front of Kadyn. epting his offer after Ha tempted him with many benefits of the employee.


    Kadyn also recruited Ha''s brothers, after she asked him. Chief Commander Dyso and Commander Jareth and many others also became part of his shop. Many refused at first, as they were skeptical about Kadyn and his shop, or due to their pride. So Kadyn challenged them. Of course, Kadyn didn''t fight them himself and asked hispanions to show them the difference. It was Elora who defeated Dyso in a single attack, stunning everyone. No one else could stand in front of Cecelia and others.


    "So where are you going to establish the branches, and how many?" asked Cecelia. She was already a tinum Rank employee. So she was eligible to be one of the managers of a branch.


    In the past month Kadyn used many kinds of methods to remove her bloodline but he failed every time. Though he tried to use Blessing Element as well, and at first it worked, butter it also lost the effect. Kadyn concluded that he needed to be stronger if he wanted to remove her bloodline. Or the consequences would be dire.


    "First branch will be in the Ceston Empire," Kadyn said. They had already discussed it, so everyone nodded. "Second will be in the Magic Alliance."


    "Ah, actually," Elder Jyn said from the side. "There is no Magic Alliance now. All the kingdoms have decided to the break the alliance after that incident in the Shado Empire."


    "I see," Kadyn said. As he looked at the people in the hall, he saw Nefia whose eyes turned red when she heard about the Shad Empire. Slyff must have told her about her father. Kadyn turned towards Elder Jyn and asked, "Who is ruling the Shado Empire?"


    "Ah," Elder Jyn nced at Khrom and then released a deep sigh. "It is… Elder Beor."


    Kadyn frowned. He felt as if he had heard the name somewhere before. Then his eyes went wide. "You mean—" The man behind Khrom''s misery?


    "Yes, the same bastard," Elder Jyn continued. "He was already a peak rank 2 mage and just a few months before he became rank 3. As you know, such a figure is almost at the peak of the former Magic Alliance. So he easily became the ruler of the kingdom."


    "Boss," Khrom suddenly stood from his chair. His fist clenched, body trembling. "If you don''t mind, I would like to take charge of the branch in Shado Kingdom."


    "You sure?"


    Khrom nodded.


    "Alright then." Kadyn said. Then he looked at him. "But remember to not lose yourself in revenge."


    "Don''t worry, boss," Khrom said. "I will never forget who I am."


    Kadyn nodded and then turned towards others. "I am going to shift our headquarters to Vrs."


    Everyone looked at him with a shocked expression. Vrs was the most developed city on the Pengo. The city was ruled by the World Magic Alliance. It was standing tall at the center of the four continents. Every race on the Pengo could visit the city, without any restriction. Even vampires.


    The Rank 4 mages were asmon in Vrs as rank 2 mages in the Ceston Empire. Even Rank 5 wasn''t hard to find. Only rank 6 mages were the real deal. That was the reason everyone looked so surprised when they heard Kadyn''s n. He was just a rank 4 mage.


    "Boss." Dion walked into the hall as he said, "Mister Eugan is here. He has some information about the Bone Spear Tower."


    Kadyn exchanged nces with everyone in the hall and frowned. The Emperor was also present, but he seemed unaware of the information that Eugan came to deliver. Kallus spent most of his time in the Meditation Room, orpleting missions. He wanted to improve his employee rank as soon as possible. Maybe that was the reason he seemed ignorant. Otherwise he would definitely know something important.


    "Send him in," Kadyn said. Then a middle-aged man walked into the room. He was the n leader of the House Sweeder. He had also be the employee of the shop together with his two other rivals. Xod and Oswyn.


    Behind him were two youngsters. Eugan''s sons. Kadyn had some conflict with them in the past, due to business. Nheless, at the moment, two of them looked quite nervous as they eyed Kadyn. Kadyn, however, just smiled and gestured for them to sit. He wasn''t so petty as to hold a grudge against them when they had already be his allies.


    "What information did you want to convey?" he asked.


    Eugan eyed everyone, and then his gaze stopped on the Emperor. "Your Majesty, Tower Leader Wynfir is going to behead Morwag."


    "What?!" Kallus sprang from his seat as he looked at the man in front of him. "What happened?"


    "I don''t know," Eugan shook his head.. "One of my informants sent me that they have found that Morwag is our informant."
