controlled himself, albeit barely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She isn’t here.\" He replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally lowered the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who joked looked him up and down before he said, \"Be aware at night.\" He said. \"There are a lot of cases of people going missing at night lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His partner laughed like he heard a sick joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both walked towards the next door of the hotel repeating the same process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah stood at the door for a second before closing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked inside and called, \"Heather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman walked out of the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are looking through hotel rooms.\" He replied. \"And I believe they are also kidnapping people at

through the curtain slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the street was already filled with guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groups of werewolves were going from building to building, knocking on doors and questioning people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....This is sickening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah didn’t say anything else as he fixed the bed and took a bath with her before they checked out of the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their stay in this place, they hadn’t found a way to meet Amaury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had gathered a lot of information, especially about those who were backing Amaury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three of them: the Baelish family that was selling them weapons and items to subdue any revolution and wage war, in return they were getting hefty sums of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>House Atretic was providing them with medicines and vaccines, in return they were getting werewolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And an organization called ECTO was providing them with information and in return buying land at extremely cheap rates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days Amaury had brought his entire kingdom into a chokehold through those three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah walked beside Heather through the busy street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning sun had already risen but the atmosphere of the city felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made Elijah anxious was that people weren’t fearing much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were happy because the war hadn’t affected them yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a sigh and walked inside a shop and sat on a table with Heather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A waiter walked towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two tea.\" Elijah responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heather anxiously rubbed her hands while she looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....What should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah had no reply as he just sat quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his time roaming around he also got to know that Amaury was planning to bring a god into his kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that thought had him terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’....What the hell am I supposed to do?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his temples and waited for the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter returned after a few minutes and placed two cups of tea on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah wrapped his fingers around the cup but didn’t drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes remained fixed on the table as his thoughts ran in circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I know who the demigod behind him is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah finally spoke, making Heather’s eyes widen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t reply because he didn’t like the thought of ’him’ being involved here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he still rubbed his face and looked at the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is going to be destroyed soon, Heather.\" He said softly. \"And I think Amaury is planning something big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heather frowned, her eyes blinking in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is trying to become a god—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Elijah could say anything else, a horn boomed throughout the entire capital city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed just after a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THE KING AMAURY HAS SUCCESSFULLY TAKEN OVER THREE NEIGHBORING TRIBES!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer roared in a delighted
