Chapter 47

"Yes, Guild Master."

"Originally I also couldn't believe that Joseph, one of the Holy Ten Wizard Saints, would be instantly killed."

Seeing Hades's expression suddenly turn somewhat serious, Ultear also grew a bit earnest.

At the time, Ultear had really only gone over to casually rewind the time image, wanting to confirm the true strength of that guy called Ace, and then upon seeing Ace truly instantly kill Joseph, Ultear was shocked.

So she quickly found time to rush back to her own headquarters, the heart of demons, to report the situation to Hades.

"After watching the image, I feel our plan needs to take the variable of the Bai Huzi Pirates into account."

"Because that Mr. Ace seems to have a rather good relationship with that group from the Weibagong Society."

This was something Ultear was somewhat worried about.

Ultear didn't think her own society, the heart of demons, would be unable to defeat Weibagong Society.

Even in the original work, Weibagong Society being able to defeat the heart of demons involved many coincidences, even forced coincidences.

But now, if Ace and the force he symbolizes behind him, the Bai Huzi Pirates, are added in.

Then it would be different.

"A rather good relationship?"

"Mm, I will take this situation into consideration."

"For now, everything still proceeds according to the original plan. The situation at the Fapingyi Society is like… hmm?"

Importance aside, Hades still didn't take Ace and the force behind him seriously.

Before Hades could finish speaking, he noticed that in a patch of sky not far away, a small black dot had suddenly appeared, rapidly approaching his own location.

The speed of the magical airship was only moving slowly, so very quickly, the specific appearance of this small black dot appeared within Hades's and Ultear's line of sight.

A woman wearing a black trench coat, with red clouds embroidered on the coat.

She had a head of light purple hair, and on the right side of her head she wore a light purple paper flower.

She was precisely a member of the Akatsuki organization, Pain of the White, Konan.

Because Konan possessed the ability to fly, able to conduct rapid flight over a relatively long period of time, she was sent out by Lincheng Sect to search for the location of the Tower of Heaven.

As early as a week ago, Lin Cheng had sent Konan out to search for the Tower of Heaven.

'This is quite a coincidence.'

'The Tower of Heaven's location is more hidden than I imagined; a whole week and still not found.'

'Instead, I've found the mastermind behind the Tower of Heaven.'

Through Konan's perspective, looking at Hades and Ultear on the magical airship, Lin Cheng found it somewhat amusing.

No hesitation at all.

Originally Lin Cheng had wanted to find the Tower of Heaven to show off a bit and boost his presence to harvest a wave of emotion points, but now that the Tower of Heaven hadn't been found, finding the heart of demons seemed pretty good too.

It was just right; Lin Cheng was also somewhat curious — an A-rank, two-star who could instantly kill an early-stage BOSS, what would happen when facing a mid-stage BOSS like Hades.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng had nothing to hesitate about, directly controlling Konan to fly onto the deck of the magical airship, landing just like that.

"Interesting."

"To think a rather rare guest has actually come."

Looking at the figure that had brazenly flown onto his ship, Hades's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled faintly, saying: "I don't suppose you'd tell me your name, so I might entertain you properly?"

He was, after all, a grandfather over a hundred years old.

Although Hades wasn't some kind, benevolent old man, striking out without first obtaining information on the other party would likewise be quite foolish.

At this time, at this place, a strange woman in strange clothing appearing here.

No matter how you looked at it, it would make one feel something was off.

"This should be the headquarters of the Xinzanggong Society, right?"

Facing Hades's inquiry, Konan said calmly: "Akatsuki organization, codename: White."

"Akatsuki organization?"

"Yet another inexplicable organization that has suddenly surfaced?"

Hearing Konan's self-introduction, Ultear, who was usually composed, frowned slightly.

The Monu Sect, the Bai Huzi Pirates, and now the Akatsuki organization.

In such a short period of time, three entirely new forces had already appeared, forces that had never been heard of before — this was indeed somewhat surprising.

One had to know that just the Bai Huzi Pirates alone had already warranted extraordinary attention.

At the same time, Ultear also muttered darkly to herself.

As a member of the Pingyi Society, Ultear was well aware of the situation during this period regarding the Pingyi Society's wanted notice for Ace — within the entire kingdom of Fiore, Ace seemed to have vanished into thin air.

No matter how much manpower and resources were deployed, not a single trace of Ace had been found.

"However, since you've seen my appearance."

"Then I can't let you live."

Ultear glanced at Hades beside her.

Right now Ultear was still a member of the Pingyi Society; no one knew that Ultear's true identity was actually a member of the heart of demons, one of the three leading dark wizard guilds.
