Upon hearing what Minos had just said, those people in the Cromwell family's group of investigators soon realized that what this masked man was telling them made some sense.
They had already realized that there was something wrong in this town. That is because, despite the absence of people in the surrounding area, the place seemed to have been changed in some way recently.
And finding out about the two groups that had passed through here in the last three days, they had a good idea of the reason behind these strangenesses.
'So, those two groups probably fought in this place...' Someone in that group thought to himself while thinking that the time Minos had quoted made a lot of sense. 'Those open places probably haven't been here for more than days to a few weeks. So, that information from him seems credible.'
'It makes sense that such a group would have fought... After all, Minos killed one of the Chambers family's descendants.'
On the other hand, that Spiritual King was thinking about other things at the moment. 'Since Minos' group was seen by that man going east, that probably means that it was that young man's group that did this changes...'
'Hmm, the Chambers family group lost, and those six people are probably dead!' He concluded after thinking about it for a while.
'What happened here? How did they find Minos before we did? Maybe they have...'
But without further evidence, all he could do was conjecture about it all. Hence, he soon put those thoughts of what might have happened here aside and began to think about what to do from now on.
'Anyway, there is indeed news about some Spiritual Kings of the Chambers family moving in the last few weeks to the northern direction...' He considered as he remembered the information he had.
The Cromwell family kept an eye on every House Chambers and the House Hayes action. After all, both of these families were their vassals, and they couldn't let them do whatever they wanted all the time.
The Cromwell family allowed both parties to fight since it would be better to distribute the power of those two families to smaller, more easily controlled noble houses. But in any case, there were limits that this great organization was willing to accept.
Therefore, the experts of this royal house in the northern region of the Central Continent knew the most critical actions of their vassals.
Spying on such powers was not difficult since apart from some cultivators near the final levels of the 6th stage, individuals below level 56 could be observed easily. Because of this, the Cromwell family had the information of a group of Spiritual Kings leaving the Persephone region a few weeks ago.
At that time, this man and his team of investigators had not yet left the post where they were stationed, in the central region of that state. Therefore, this Spiritual King knew about the departure of the Chambers family group of Spiritual Kings heading north.
He did not know where those six individuals were going. Still, neither he nor other high-ranking members in the Cromwell family had been concerned about it. After all, House Chambers was at war.
It was common for some individuals to travel around the region seeking help in times like that. Therefore, after hearing Minos' entire account, this man remembered this information.
"Sir, thank you for the information. We will look into this matter, and if everything is right, you may receive your reward in the future." Hubert said as he felt that he should inform his family about this matter.
He was still not 100% sure what Minos had told him was true. But he was already starting to believe all of it, as there was enough evidence for him to at least consider that he was not being deceived.
So, as a first step, the best thing to do now was to send the information to the headquarters of that royal house so that the specialists there could investigate this together with his group.
Minos could be lying, but that doesn't mean that checking his information would be a problem. After all, King Cromwell would only need one of his men to go and question the Chambers about the destination of those Spiritual Kings.
And suppose they found out that such people had gone on a mission to the Yellow City and were killed during this period. Then, in that case, this royal house could be sure that this information was accurate!
Anyway, after that, the two sides said their goodbyes, with Minos continuing to circle the outskirts of his secret base while those people had settled into a part of that city.
'Well, I hope those people will leave Yellow City for good... It would not be nice to eliminate those individuals while they should be looking for me in this place!'
...
Quickly three days passed!
After this period, Minos had already returned to Dry City, and those people from the Cromwell family had left Yellow City for the Cromwell Kingdom.
During those days, that Spiritual King had sent his information obtained through Minos to the organization's headquarters in that other kingdom. But even before Hubert had a chance for his report to reach that place, House Cromwell had already sent him a piece of urgent information.
That was the information about the Hayes family's attack against House Chambers!
When he found out about this and the details sent from the headquarters of the family he was subordinate to, Hubert was sure that what Minos had told him was the truth. Because of this, he had nothing left to do in the Yellow City, having headed east to where his target had made his journey.
They didn't have much information about that young man's destination. Still, going towards the Endless Snow Mountain Range, a person would only have a few possible destinations. Those were the sects that lived in seclusion in that region and the Snow Kingdom.
Consequently, even without many clues, they already had a notion of where to look for the young competitor Minos!
Because of this, Minos had returned to his city soon after making sure that those people had moved away from Yellow City.
After he arrived at his city, Minos promptly went back to settle his local responsibilities since he didn't intend to stay here for long.
He wanted to attack the Silva family before the Brown family saw him as an enemy.
And since his time was practically at its limit, this young man would not stay for many days in his town before finally leaving to settle this!
The Miller family had already made some preparations in this regard. With that, it was only a matter of days before the flames of war would spread further in this kingdom.
But for now, the young ruler of the Black Plain was peacefully waiting for his time to join the Miller family's action while working in his office.
...
"Young master, Seargent Joey is here to see you," Mia said, just after entering Minos' office and approaching his desk.
"Ask him to come in, Mia."
"OK."
After that, old Joey walked into that place, dressed in the typical local army uniform and with a look of concern on his face.
"What is it, mister Joey? Did something wrong happen during the negotiations with those envoys from the Brown family?" Minos asked solemnly after seeing the expression on that old Sergeant's face.
"Well, we are facing some problems with those people... But that hasn't reached a worrying level yet."
"Young master, I'm afraid I have some bad news to report..." He then said slowly. "It is about the Silva family."
"Speak."
"A massive group of the Silva family attacked the city formerly ruled by the Gill family, slaughtering thousands of citizens and the individuals who were replacing the members of that family in that place..."
"Consequently, they found out about the disappearance of the members of that family...."
