Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 814: Demonic News
Chapter 814: Demonic News
On several streets of Pagna, the citizens and clan members were just going about their day. They were walking through the streets, looking at various market stalls, ready to select the food they would be eating that day.
While others were dragging their feet across the floor, ready to start work, repeating the routine all over again.
That was when, streaking through the center of the town, came a luxurious red and gold carriage. It came sliding across, landing in the center of the street just by a fountain that hadn't even been turned on yet for the day.
Out of the back of the open carriage, a man could be seen coming out, holding a large stack of papers tied up by his side, and the rest of the carriage was presumably filled with even more.
"Golden News has an urgent paper out!" the man shouted at the top of his voice. "Urgent paper with important information regarding the Dark Faction is out!"
Although the man was shouting excitedly, there wasn't exactly a rush of people to head over to the carriage to learn about what was happening. Golden News, owned by Bubble, had been delivering interesting articles day after day.
The people enjoyed them, but they were also starting to realize what was happening-they were being filtered information, and there would always be those who bought the articles first.
Eventually, throughout the day, from their friends or just word on the street, they would learn what had happened. Still, there were a few who walked up to the carriage to buy the latest news.
Those with more coin than others decided to pick up the paper. They were loyal customers, after all.
"Let's have a look at this thing. Just how much can this news agency milk one event?" a disgruntled old man said, opening the paper. "The paper already came out this morning, so to have it as emergency news, if they're just trying to milk me, this will be the last paper I'll buy!"
The man skimmed through the report, and his reaction and demeanor changed. This continued with all the others reading the report as well.
"I can't believe it, there's a new Dark Faction leader!"
"Wait, it was him from the Martial Arts Tournament; is it a student, or just someone disguised as a student?"
"The White Dragon is the same person!"
All of the shocked bystanders reading the report caused a flood of people needing to read the report firsthand, and this was repeated all over the towns, cities, and areas of Pagna.
The news had undoubtedly spread to the great leaders of the powerful clans, including that of the Neverfall Clan. Deep in the Abyss of the Clan's base, another meeting was occurring. "What is it with you?" Belil asked the room filled with the old elders of the clan. "Every time something comes up, no matter what it is, you decide to call a meeting. How am I meant to focus on myself if I keep getting distracted like this?"
Belil's fist was on the table, pulsating with energy. The elders looked at it, worried that it would explode and lash out at them at any moment, but they kept their composure.
"Belil, this isn't anything small, though. This is something that will affect the Pagna continent, and especially our position!" the elder stated. "There is a new leader of the Dark Faction, and not only that, it's the Dark Magus."
"The person that you recently wedded to your daughter, and one of the contestants at the Martial Arts Tournament!"
For a lot of people, the Neverfall Clan was at the center of it all, and the leading theory was that they were the ones behind everything.
"I wish I could claim credit for everything they are saying out there," Belil said with a smile. "But what had occurred was even crazier than I thought. I can't believe that student sent everyone away and was also the Dark Magus, who is married to my daughter."
"Now I wish I could have come to the tournament myself." Belil laughed, as he imagined the greater chaos that would occur if he were there.
"Right, but who knows what the Dark Magus was planning," one of the elders said. "The fact that they didn't warn us, and now they're the leader of the Dark Faction, it could mean very dangerous things for us."
"Either the Demonic Faction will see us as allies of the Dark Faction, or the Neverfall Clan now has an ally in the Dark Faction."
Belil then waved his hand.
"You're saying the same thing, making it sound like it's different. What does it matter?"
"Because it does matter. What I'm asking you right now is, how do you view the Dark Magus and the Dark Faction? Are they enemies of ours that we will have to deal with, or will you help him and go against the entirety of the Demonic Faction?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
All of the elders there had selected Belil as the head of the clan. There were no questions asked. They would listen to his orders and stay. At times, there were those who felt like Belil had made wrong decisions, but somehow everything Belil did turned into a positive outcome for the entire clan.
It was as if his instincts were always telling him the right thing to do.
"The Dark Magus is my son!" Belil answered. "And that will not change. He has done nothing wrong to us, so there is no reason to deal with him. The fact that he has taken over the entire Dark Faction is the greatest achievement a father like me could ever ask for!"
Belil was almost pounding his chest, he was so proud. He was even prouder of his daughter for finding such a man and wrapping him around her finger.
"I thought that would be the case," the elder and a few others sighed. "I'm sure you must know it already; the news has reached the Behemoth Clan, and it looks like they're going to
