Chapter 207: The Plan Works, Revenge Continues (1/5)

In the small meeting room of the main tower of Storm's End, everyone was waiting for the Governor.

Storm's End became chaotic due to Jory's sudden death.

No one would have thought that a person who was loved by the Governor, very talented in the extraordinary path, and basically certain to be the next Governor, would suddenly die.

And he died at a celebration party where the people cheered for him, and died in front of the statue of the Seven Gods.

The news spread like wildfire, and both the nobles and the civilians of Storm's End had various speculations.

Some of them believed that Jory must have angered the Seven Gods and was therefore punished by God.

Others said that Jory must have offended an evil person and was cursed with a terrible curse.

Even worse, some people speculated that this was a declaration of war to the Governor, and Storm's End was going to war.

In less than a day, there were already many different opinions and people were panicking.

At this point, no matter from which angle, it is urgent to find out the truth and solve this matter.

So much so that at the moment, the noble representatives of Wind's End, the ministers of Wind's End, and the governor's family were all waiting in the meeting hall for the governor to deal with the matter.

However, the governor was late, and even worse, no one knew where he had gone.

The governor's attendants, Knight Commander Lannis, and the guards could not find him.

"He is still studying his extraordinary."

Crying until her eyes were red and swollen, Seren Weiss complained to Moros in grief.

As the governor's most favored mistress, Seren Weiss knew that since some time ago, the governor had often locked herself up to study the extraordinary he was obsessed with.

No one was allowed to set foot in the places he went, and no one was allowed to ask about what he did.

That is, from then on, the governor never summoned her again.

Except for the fear of the family's loss of power, Seren Weiss personally didn't care. She already had Moros, and her mind was no longer on the governor.

But first, Jory died, her only son died, and the governor could still study his extraordinary regardless of anything.

This made Celine Weiss's disappointment and anger reach the extreme, and she could not bear it at all.

Her feelings for the governor had changed from hypocritical to imminent hatred.

Chief Councillor Moros stood beside him, holding his cousin's hand, his face livid.

After years of swallowing his anger and making compromises, now that Jory was dead, all his efforts had gone to waste.

Trying to control his emotions, for the sake of the future, the grieving Moros did not want to make himself appear too serious.

Because of Governor Fell's unconventional orders and his delay, the voices of whispering in the meeting hall gradually became louder.

No one understood what was going on.

Governor Fell first did not allow them to approach Jory's body, and only gave the work of embalming the body to some people they had never seen and did not know the details.

And now, he left the ministers' families here, and he didn't know what to do.

Xia, standing in the crowd, heard a noble representative whispering:

"Do you know who those people are who are carrying the body of Lord Jory?"

"I don't know. I have seen those people in Storm's End, but I don't know where they came from."

"I only know that they were recruited by the Governor himself, and he doesn't allow us to ask."

"Yes, those people are very strange. Once I talked to them, they didn't say a word to me."

"What exactly is the Governor going to do?"

"I don't know."

"The Governor may have his own plans, but now, what is more important than the death of Lord Jory?"

Hearing this, Xia has already vaguely understood the reason.

Those people of unknown origin must be the apprentices of the Soul Eater.

And the Governor is probably somewhere now, questioning the Soul Eater and his apprentices, whether Jory's death has anything to do with them.

'The facts are indeed as Rhine expected. '

And after all these things, the seeds of doubt have been planted in Storm's End.

The nobles and ministers began to doubt the governor, which would undoubtedly make Ponros Fell feel the pressure of being constrained.

"Rhine's plan is really effective."

Xia was secretly proud of herself. What she needed to do now was to deal a fatal blow to Serin Weiss in public.

The strong sunlight near noon cast in from the top window of the conference hall.

After a long time, heavy footsteps were finally heard in the corridor outside the conference hall. Governor Ponros Fell finally arrived.

Everyone in the conference hall immediately quieted down, except Serin Weiss.

When she saw the late governor for the first time, Serin Weiss could no longer hold back her anger.

In front of everyone present, she grabbed the governor who had just entered the hall and asked:

"Where have you been? What do you have that is more important than Jory?"

Serin Weiss's harsh questioning in public almost made the governor, who was upset and full of anger, explode.

He glared at Serin Weiss, and under the influence of the forbidden spell, he instinctively wanted to kill her.

But after calming down for a second, he thought of Serin Weiss as Jory's mother, so he just pushed her away and sat down at the main seat.

Serin Weiss, who had just been silently warned by the Governor, was shocked.

After twenty years of living together day and night, she could feel the murderous intent in the Governor's eyes just now.

'He actually... He actually...'

Serin Weiss had a brief fear in her heart, but it was instantly replaced by the anger that had been suppressed for many years.

‘For so many years, Ponros has been sucking the property of the Weiss family and other big families like a vampire.

He is ruthless and greedy. He has ruined my life and now he has ruined my Jori. ’

Serin Weiss no longer cares. She throws away Moros who is holding her, walks out of the crowd, stands in the center of the meeting room, and continues to question the governor loudly:

“Where is Jori? I am his mother, I want to see him!”

As Serin Weiss questioned, everyone in the meeting room held their breath. They looked at the governor, waiting for his answer and explanation.

In the crowd, Xia was also watching quietly.

But the governor was very annoyed.

He saw that Serin Weiss was still making trouble, and she was pointing directly at the part he had to cover up.

The chaos in the depths of the governor's soul caused by the use of forbidden spells began to gnaw at his thinking again.

Pushing him to the edge of losing control.

But Ponros Fell was originally a fourth-level ninth-level extraordinary person after all. After the fusion of his soul with Marsas, he was promoted to the fifth level.

After realizing the confusion in his heart, he intervened in time, so as not to cause serious consequences.

"I have my own arrangements."

The governor did not give an explanation, but interrupted Serin Weiss in a harsh voice.

Serin Weiss was stunned. She didn't understand why the governor repeatedly prevented her from seeing Jory's body.

Not only Serin Weiss, but everyone else didn't understand why the governor blocked such a common human thing in every possible way?

As everyone looked at each other, Moros, who had been the chief councilor for more than ten years, was the first to react.

He thought for a long time in his heart, stepped out of the queue, and walked to the center of the meeting room to make suggestions to Governor Fel.
