elders, greatly stabilizing his position as the First Elder. 

However, he hadn’t ever thought that Green would actually have an ancient magic tool which he could use to unexpectedly escape.
Although he hadn’t heard of anyone using such ancient magic tools, since Buffy said it was so then it should be the truth.
He could only hope that Buffy would be able to successfully find Meirin and kill them all.
This would likely help him recover from the setback. 

Kaiser sat spellbound, looking forward for Buffy to come back quickly to give him the news.
This was because he felt that the Second and Third Elders had changed their looks towards him after Green escaped.

Kaiser understood what their gazes meant.
The Second and Third Elders were waiting for him to make a mistake.
If Buffy wasn’t able to destroy the Buda clan this time, then his good old days would be coming to an end. 

With these thoughts, Kaiser couldn’t help but become irritable.
He loudly called, “Lani, come here.”

Lani, who was outside, froze for a moment, but still immediately went to Kaiser and bowed.
“Great Elder, what are your orders?”

Kaiser looked at Lani’s graceful figure that was hidden within her magic robes.
He spoke with eyes full of desire, “Come here.”

Lani hadn’t been following Kaiser for a day of two, so she understood Kaiser’s meaning.
Looking at Kaiser’s expression, she knew what he wanted to do.
She wasn’t afraid, but instead gave a charming smile back3.
 

* * * * *

In the eyes of outsiders, on this day, the Purcell clan seemed just normal.
However, the people within the clan actually understood that this was just the calm before the storm.
Everyone was waiting for Buffy.
If Buffy was successful, then there wouldn’t be any big happenings inside the Purcell clan.
If Buffy failed, then it would be a huge storm blowing towards the Purcell clan.
People there feared that there would be a necessary reshuffling of ranks.

Everyone in the Purcell clan waited for the news, while the other major forces in Casa City also sent messages to the Purcell clan members to inquire about any changes.
They were all waiting for Buffy’s news.

Don’t underestimate the power of the other respected and large clans.
They had placed spies in the Purcell clan, so as soon as an important matter happened in the Purcell clan, they would know of it and word will spread all over the continent.
Even the high officials wouldn’t be spared from this. 

This only meant that even if you were in a high position, you wouldn’t have any privacy.
Of course, these words were only relative to other high ranking people and it would be impossible for the commoners to know about these matters that involved the senior officials.

Laura was among such forces.
Laura now sat in her study, frowning.
Nier4 was standing behind her as usual while Quinn John sat opposite of her, also frowning.
The three of them didn’t say anything. 

After some time, Laura loudly called, “Messenger.”

A servant who stood outside the room immediately came, bowing to Laura and asked, ”What are your orders, Young Lady?”

Laura said, “Are there any new reports about the Purcell clan?”

The servant bowed and said, “There has been no news yet as Buffy still hadn’t returned.”

Laura nodded and the servant bowed while retreating.
Turning her head, Laura asked Quinn John, “Grandpa Quinn John, what do you presume the Purcell clan members are thinking? Why did they come up with such a thing this time around? This will affect our plans.”

Quinn John smiled bitterly and said, “What else but the pride of those great nobles as well as the extravagant actions of these aristocrats.
The matter between the Purcell clan and the Buda clan is well known throughout the continent.
This time, I heard that the head servant of the Buda clan is already a Peak Rank Eight.
If someday he breaks through, it will be very troublesome with regards to the Purcell clan.
Therefore, they went and looked for an excuse to kill the opposite party, but they hadn’t thought that their opponents would possess an ancient magic tool.
This allowing them to escape.
If Buffy is successful this time, then all the better.
However, if he failed then the Purcell clan would have to live with it.
As such, our plans will be affected.“

Laura stood up agitated.
“These fellows are really… the Buda clan had already met with misfortune, and now they added insult to injury.
They broke the engagement and made it so that they can extinguish them, which created so much trouble.
If because of this matter, a civil war starts with the Purcell clan, then along with the issue of grain production, the large firms will certainly mobilise.
I fear that food prices won’t be stable for long.

Quinn John smiled bitterly.
“For now, we can only wait.
If Buffy’s operation is successful, then everything is fine.
If it is not successful, we have to think of a way.
Oh, right.
Young Lady, I think we should go and greet Mr.
Zhao Hai ahead of time?”

Laura shook her head and said, “We should first wait for the exact news from the Purcell clan.
Anyway, no matter what, this issue won’t affect Mr.
Zhao Hai.”

Quinn John sighed and said, “I feel sorry for the Buda clan.
This time, I fear they won’t be able to escape this difficult situation.
After all, Buffy is a Rank Nine expert.”

1 神识 – Shén shí.
Shén (神) can mean deity, god, spirit.
Shí (识) can mean knowledge, recognition, understanding.
As such, I decided to use 神识 as divine sense since divine knowledge just didn’t work in terms of imagery and wording. ↩

If you look up top, 神 can also mean spirit.
Since people below Rank Nine can use this as well, but they aren’t termed Deities, it made more sense to convert it to Spiritual Sense.
So Deities use Divine Sense while non-deities use Spiritual Sense, yet the words are basically the same… It just depends on who is using it.↩

*vomit action* I was expecting it, but… sigh.↩

Again, all previous incarnations of Near will be changed to Nier.
Thanks to commenter Jinx for bringing up the desire to see that change.
I was going for either Nier, or Neer, but Near was fine too. ↩
