419 Percy's Stinginess

"You are a real role model!"

As statements like these echoed from the Amateur Warriors nearby, Percy raised his head and stared into the distance as if he was some venerable sage who had descended to help others generously.

So, he missed the expression of absolute mischief that pa.s.sed across the blonde kid's face.

After a few seconds, the kid replied, "Thank you, senior brother! We set off tomorrow at noon. Please meet me at the south exit 7 of the sect."

Nodding, Percy left while maintaining his att.i.tude.

Seeing this sight, the fatty asked, "Travis, you're sure right? We will have to pay back everything with interest if you're not. d.a.m.n that 'senior brother'. He's just taking advantage of us."

This made Travis chuckle slightly before replying, "Let me worry about that. Let's see who takes advantage of whom tomorrow."

Leaving these cryptic words, Travis ordered the others to take down the banner as almost all the Amateur Warriors had already been tapped.

While leaving to the library, he had a sinister smile on his face.

Daneel was really looking forward to tomorrow.

….

Meanwhile, at the very top of the tower in the center of the Sect of Hedon.

To those inside the sect, it looked like this tower ended at a specific height in the sky.

Very few that this was an illusion. In reality, the tower penetrated the clouds, coming to a stop at a dizzying height of 15,000 meters.

At this alt.i.tude, only clouds could be seen all around, while the temperature also plummeted to such low levels that the real top was always coated by ice.

Staring out at this endless sea of clouds at the top of the tower was a man wearing a peculiar attire.

He had a small, globe-shaped earring on one ear, which was barely visible due to his long brown hair that fell to his shoulders.

His clean-shaven long face had a calm expression on it, while his thin lips were pressed together.

His black robes that had a gold trim in a few places such as the shoulders and the chest area glinted due to the light, and he seemed to be frozen in place, as if he wouldn't move no matter how many eons pa.s.sed.

Feeling a communication trinket vibrate, he sighed and teleported, reappearing in a grand hall on the lower level of the same tower.

Around him were all the Champions of the Sect of Hedon, sitting in silence with respect.

As someone who had shown enough talent and power to become the youngest leader of the High Council, he was their pride.

However, all he felt was disgust when he saw them.

"This is the routine report on the sect, my Lord Ashah.e.l.l."

As a Warrior-level scribe handed over a data trinket, Ashah.e.l.l gave it a perfunctory glance before going through it idly.

Most of the information was normal, pertaining to the recent breakthroughs and the general situation in Angaria.

For some reason, when he saw the news about the King of Lanthanor's grand announcement to his people, he smiled, but that smile looked like it had no ill intentions.

Instead, it was almost like the man who was known for his cold countenance was happy.

Finally, he stopped on the news of the scam expedition that was going to set out the next day.

Indeed, although it seemed to everyone that the sect was frivolous in nature, in truth, they kept a close watch on all the activities.

News concerning an inheritance, even if it might be a scam and might not be a core one, had to be pa.s.sed up all the way to the sect leader.

Lounging idly in the high throne made of stone that looked like it had been made for a giant to sit on, Ashah.e.l.l recounted his days in the sect when he had similarly gone on a scam like this.

He had later been found out and reprimanded by his teachers who felt that it was a waste of time given his incredible talent, but it was one of the fondest memories of his life.

Handing it back, he said, "Everything looks fine. As you were."

Saying so, he teleported back to the top of the tower, leaving a host of Champions who all bowed reverentially.

While gazing out once again at the clouds, he only had one though: Angaria was…so beautiful.

Alas, what had to happen, had to happen.

Taking out a communication trinket, he said, "Is the delivery on schedule?"

"Yes, My Lord Ashah.e.l.l. All will definitely go according to your plan."

Nodding to himself, he let silence regain its hold on the room.

If anyone saw this sight, they would remark on how lonely this individual looked.

It was as if he was a lone boat struggling along in the middle of a calm sea, with nothing but water in sight.

Waves of sadness and regret radiated from him, but there was an underlying sense of duty that could be detected.

As he continued watching, he once again became frozen in place.

…..

That night.

The Shameless sect had a lot of things to do to prepare for the excursion the next day. The 4 members were in charge of something…special inside the sect, while Daneel headed outside.

He had expected that the exits might have some of the Amateur Warriors making sure that the 5 wouldn't run away with the gems, but seeing that there was no such thing, he let out a relieved sigh.

Little did he know that the fate of someone who had tried that stunt the last time had ended in a desiccated corpse that couldn't even be recognized by his closest friend.

Sect members were allowed to leave for a short period of time, but if it crossed the threshold, they would be called back forcefully using the oaths they had sworn.

The threshold was one day, but Daneel only needed to be out for an hour.

The Sect of Hedon was surrounded by a rich forest, so Daneel didn't have to search long before finding an underground cavern with a waterfall.

Squatting in front of the surface of the small lake that had formed due to the waterfall, Daneel cast the spell he had prepared.

A mysterious series of lights appeared above the lake, swirling around in random patterns and at times pa.s.sing through the surface of the water.

Checking 5 times to make sure that everything was all right and that he wasn't being spied on, Daneel smiled mischievously.

It was almost time to watch a great show.
