Chapter 37: Sacrifice his daughter

Province Xth

Federation School

In the elegant Principal Office, a distinguished middle-aged man sat regally upon the principal's chair, engrossed in his work, diligently perusing through a stack of important documents.

The room exuded an air of authority and power, befitting the head of the institution.

Suddenly, a melodic ringtone pierced through the tranquil atmosphere, immediately capturing the principal's attention. Glancing at the caller ID, a disapproving frown creased his forehead, but he swiftly answered the call with composure.

"Call connected," the automated voice announced.

"Hello," a voice came through from the other end.

"You didn't have to call me for that, I have already taken care of everything," the principal responded calmly, his tone betraying a hint of annoyance.

"Alright, I will dispatch my men during the trip," a sly voice replied, accompanied by a mischievous grin.

"Do as you wish, but remember to fulfill your end of the deal, or you will face the consequences," the principal threatened, his voice now tinged with a steely resolve.

"Don't worry about that," the voice confidently replied.

"Very well, then refrain from contacting me regarding this matter in the future," the principal declared firmly.

"Okay," the voice on the other end acquiesced.

"Call disconnected," the automated voice announced, severing the connection between the two parties.

As the call ended, the principal massaged his temple, a look of contemplation crossing his face. "I do not harbor ill intent towards you," he murmured to himself, his voice laced with a hint of regret. "It's just that the situation has forced my hand."

Su Yanran Pov

In the bustling market, two young girls, one around 14 years old and the other around 21 years old, could be seen happily strolling and engaging in animated conversation.

They were on a shopping excursion, exploring the various stalls and shops, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

Having recently completed a week of intensive training with her mentor, Su Yanran had formed a close bond with her, and today, she decided to take a small break from her rigorous training to enjoy some leisure time with her mentor.

As they wandered through the market, marveling at the vibrant array of merchandise and clothing, Su Yanran's gaze was captivated by a particular shop.

Excitement gleamed in her eyes as she turned to her mentor and exclaimed, "Mentor, let's visit that shop and purchase what caught my eye!"

"Of course," the mentor replied warmly, embracing the opportunity for a brief respite.

With renewed enthusiasm, they made their way towards the shop, eager to indulge in a well-deserved shopping spree.

Unbeknownst to both parties, unbeknownst to both individuals, unbeknownst to the unsuspecting duo, a pair of vigilant eyes were meticulously observing every intricate detail of their interaction.

Without delay, the observer deftly retrieved a cellular device from their fashionable attire and proceeded to dial a specified and significant number with utmost precision and purpose.

"Call successfully connected," a voice announced through the receiver.

Province lXth

A Grandiose villa

An underground basement concealed the clandestine activities of numerous individuals.

These participants were adorned in elaborate cloaks, each embellished with a distinctive devil insignia emblazoned upon the back.

Among the collective, a middle-aged man stood out, donning the same cloak as the others but also showcasing an additional miniature devil tattoo adorning his hand.

Soon a mediocre ringtone rang in the leader's attire and he took out a phone and a caller id displayed on the phone screen.

He swiftly accepted the call.

"Esteemed leader," a voice came from the other side, "I have successfully located the progeny of the Ice Guild's leader."

"Maintain constant surveillance over her, while I swiftly redirect all available personnel towards your designated location," the leader commanded, urgency lacing his voice.

"Ok, leader."

"Call disconnected."

Upon the call disconnection, the leader memorizes the scene of all the cult members who were also killed alongside with the members who were killed on the outskirts of the Province Xth.

He clenched his fist and hatefully said, "Su Sen disrupted our 'Devil Lord' arrivement and in return, I will sacrifice his daughter."

"Yes leader," all the remaining members said in unison.

Wang Feng, who had been diligently training with his instructor for a week, came to the realization that his weapon was subpar.

Determined to obtain a better one, he requested his father to buy him a new weapon.
