White Death [1]

"How's the situation?" 

A grating voice echoed throughout a small room that was dimly lit by a couple of candles that sat atop an old wooden table. 

The voice belonged to Count Nukutan, the leader of the Avidity branch. One of the largest sub-branches of the greed clan residing in the demon world. 

There were in total seven clans residing in the demon world, and they were all covered by a Duke-ranked demon. Only a select few could be members of the main clan. The rest would be thrown into different branches governed by the clan. 

Each branch differed in strength, and in general, a clan had over twenty branches with two or three being their main branches. 

The Avidity branch, being one of those three for the Greed clan. 

A tense and somber atmosphere enveloped the room as Count Nukutan scanned the room.

Sitting beside him were multiple figures who looked back at him with respectful and subservient gazes.
