350 Sargan's information

While Azaroth was training these new subordinates and whipping them in shape, the Origin Sect organized meetings and discussed this issue with their elders.

How could one of their branches underneath them have grown so powerful without their knowledge?

Thus, the one who belonged to this branch was summoned by the Sect Master in his office. This was Patrick. He should know the inner details about this matter.

As Patrick entered his office, the sect master offered him a seat. Patrick accepted that seat as he stared at the sect master in confusion.

He asked, "Do you want some tea or coffee?"

"No, sir," Patrick spoke with a respectful look.

"Alright. Then you can start from the very beginning regarding the change of the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City," The Sect Master spoke with a cold tone.

Patrick had been expecting this meeting for the last couple of days ago. He had even imagined being confronted with this question.

Trying to get out of this by acting like an idiot who knows nothing wouldn't work. Only once he chewed into a clue would the sect master let him leave.

"In reality, I have no idea about how the Origin Sect Branch is going up against the Dragon Tiger Palace. Even though I was the leader of that branch, I never did handle it personally. My subordinate was more of a leader than I ever was," Patrick spoke.

These words surprised the sect master. Before he could ask anything, Patrick continued with his story, "He was a disciple belonging to Veninza City. His strength and ability with saber were quite impressive. He never lost to a warrior in the same rank as himself."

"He was promoted to higher-ranks in the Origin Sect Branch. However, once he was promoted to official ranks, he began to exert his true influence in the sect. He formed his personal force that wouldn't lose out against anyone. There were all kinds of warriors in that team."

"Array Master, Alchemists, Weapon Enchanters, Warriors, and Archers. I believe he took action and destroyed the forces sent by the Dragon Tiger Palace."

"…I see," The Sect Master seemed to understand just how the Origin Sect Branch had repelled the assaults from the Dragon Tiger Palace.

Patrick was internally satisfied that the sect master bought his story. If not, he might have suffered quite some pain. He was asked to return.

"Also, don't make things difficult for Hugo Corlett. I know what happened between you two. But the time has passed. Do not destroy the unity of the sect for such a small reason," The sect master warned Patrick.

He knew what Patrick had been doing during the last couple of days. He was meeting with other elders who were somewhat antagonistic towards Hugo Corlett and his father.

The Sect Master felt that he had to stop Patrick before he could raise this matter any further.

Patrick clenched his fists as he heard the sect master. This man knew what had occurred, but he hadn't stopped Hugo Corlett.

He allowed Hugo Corlett to do as he pleased since he thought Patrick had already exhausted his potential. If he had some hope in Patrick's potential, he would have warned Hugo Corlett just like this.

There was no choice left for him, so he replied, "Alright, Sect Master."

The Sect Master was satisfied and focused on his work while Patrick left his office.

Patrick informed of this meeting and talked to Azaroth. Azaroth was somewhat satisfied with this information.

In the meantime, the King was concocting a plan to send Dylan Ross to the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

According to the information he possessed on this guy, this Dylan Ross's parents were rather unimpressive warriors who lost their lives at the hands of some beasts.

There were some rumors that they had been betrayed by their comrades, but the King didn't care about their deaths either way.

According to what he knew, Dylan Ross belonged to a small clan that managed the entire village. His cousins and peers looked down on him and bullied him on every occasion. However, he had turned the tables after awakening some rare talent or inheritance.

He seemed talented in many different fields. Moreover, according to the information of his subordinates, he also possessed a rare charisma.

The king wanted to keep this man under his control. It might sound difficult since Dylan Ross's ambition wasn't limited to that small village or a town.

He wanted to make a name for himself in the entire Glerian Kingdom.

The King, though, didn't feel threatened by Dylan. This was because he had many weaknesses. He was a stupid fellow who didn't think deeply about a situation. He would only look at the situation on the surface and make his judgment about it.

He was also a lustful man who couldn't control himself after seeing a beautiful woman. He could easily be controlled using exceptional beauty.

He had a personal maid who was an exceptional beauty. The king was aware of her entire family and could take them hostage, at any moment.

The King was going to have this maid meet with Dylan and control him through her.

Dylan Ross had no idea that he had already been highlighted to the King's eyes. His every action was monitored by tens of individuals absolutely loyal to the King.

Dylan's abilities were more or less apparent to the King, and he felt confident in his ability to control her.

The King wasn't the only one who had realized his abilities and was keeping an eye on him. There was another individual who was doing the same.

Moreover, this individual had realized that someone high ranking in the kingdom was also keeping an eye on this guy.

This second individual who was keeping an eye on Dylan was Sargan. He was looking for talents and had heard a rumor about his great medical techniques.

Then he heard that this man was also talented in Alchemy and Array Techniques. This caught his interest, and he decided to keep his tabs on this man.

If Dylan possessed even rarer techniques, Sargan was planning to inform Azaroth about him.

Now that the King's subordinates were keeping an eye on Dylan, it was quite dangerous for any of Sargan's informants to be close to him and gather information.

They informed this situation to their master, Sargan.

Sargan felt that it was now time to inform Azaroth about this. The very next day, he informed the entire thing to Azaroth.

When Azaroth heard about Dylan Ross, he was absolutely startled. His abilities, power, and his path in life were absolutely ridiculous.

Azaroth thought 'Is he one of those protagonists from the novel that I read during my time on Earth? According to what Sargan has informed me, he is one of those guys who gets a cheat or are chosen by fate.'

'This sort of thing never occurred during my previous life. Was I ignorant at that time? Or did it start occurring after this fate energy thing?'

'Whatever the case, this guy can be my test subject for this mysterious fate energy. And he has shown no signs of any Royal Bloodline. Which means, he is one of those rare specimens who possess the Fate Energy while not possessing the Royal Bloodline.'

A smirk appeared on Azaroth's face as he ordered Sargan, "You have my consent to approach this man and further investigate him."

"Be sure to give me daily updates. And make sure to tell me everything. This will be extremely dangerous, even for you. Your identity might be revealed."

"Alright, Master."
