CHAPTER 643: CHAPTER 579: MEETING TIME

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of the Crolock Kingdom has reached the point of no return."

As Prince Andre, the traitor of the Slaughter King Association, embarked on his final journey in confusion, the previously furious White Snake had already gathered all the official members of the Slaughter King Association. After briefly recounting his observations, he spoke, his voice slightly cold:

"Our plans over the years have been completely destroyed by that Level 3 Cleaner. Not only did he save the defected Black Owl and Xue Xiao, but he also completely destroyed one of the Thirteen Kingdoms, the Crolock Kingdom.

Including the previous incident at the ’Iron Palace’, this marks the second time he has disrupted our plans. In my opinion, we have previously underestimated Leon Laine. His danger level should be immediately elevated."

"I think so too."

As soon as White Snake finished speaking, Dongya, sitting to his left, nodded in agreement and somewhat reluctantly said:

"This Leon Laine is indeed peculiar. The Scorpio Branch sent almost all its Cleaners who were nearly annihilated, and with the director under control, I seriously don’t understand how he managed to turn the tables."

"Indeed..."

Sitting opposite Dongya, the slender "Black Cat" sighed and nodded:

"The previous ’Iron Palace’ incident can be attributed to our lack of preparation, acting hastily with many loopholes, which he exploited. There was nothing we could do.

But in the case of the Crolock Kingdom, ninety-nine percent of the royal family members were already dead. The remaining two were our unofficial members, each burdened with three extremely targeted Blood Oaths. It seemed impossible to lose.

Moreover, even in such an already secure situation, to be safe, we paid a huge price to forcibly send White Snake’s power down, helping Black Owl control the Scorpio Bureau Chief.

Yet even after doing so, we still couldn’t sever the royal bloodline. Even the deceased Cleaners, he pulled back from the Realm of the Dead, and the Crolock Kingdom was destroyed in one fell swoop... This man is truly outrageous."

"Indeed, this man is really..."

"We must elevate the importance we place on him!"

"I think so too, this man is too peculiar."

"Since none of you oppose, let’s decide on this matter."

With unanimous agreement from the members of the Slaughter King Association, White Snake at the head made the decision:

"From now, the importance placed on Leon Laine, the Level 3 Cleaner of the Virgin Branch, will be elevated two levels, treated as a Director of the Twelve Zodiac Branch Offices, and all intelligence on him should be gathered comprehensively. Always watch for any unusual movements.

Moreover, in all future plans, if there is potential for direct contact with him, actions are absolutely not allowed without authorization. A meeting must be convened immediately, all official members notified, and decisions made after deliberation!"

"Agreed!"

"This is how it should be."

"No objections."

"So, the first resolution of today’s meeting is unanimously passed."

After making the decision, White Snake turned his head to look at Black Cat on his right, warmly inquiring:

"How are the affairs in the Witch Kingdom that you are in charge of? Is the situation still stable?"

"To be honest, it’s not looking very optimistic."

Upon hearing the question, Black Cat sighed helplessly, and answered:

"The situation in the Mifalla Kingdom is relatively stable. The Grand Witch King will die of old age shortly, but the Pisces Branch has been very active lately, not only strengthening the guards of the Grand Witch Court but also holding dozens of large-scale rituals.

If I am not mistaken, the people from the Pisces Branch have likely realized that the Grand Witch King’s daughter is a decoy we arranged and are probably using these soul rituals to search for the real princess of the Witch Kingdom."

"And what about you? Is your progress going smoothly?"

White Snake frowned, his expression slightly displeased as he pressed on:

"Your Ball of Yarn Society has been expanding in the Mifalla Kingdom for many years, searching extensively for so long, yet you still haven’t found that missing princess?"

"That’s different."

Black Cat shook her head:

"The Pisces Branch can search openly, but to avoid attracting the attention of the Clean-up Bureau, I can only act secretly. How can my efficiency compare to that of the Pisces Branch?

What I can confirm now is that the real princess of the Witch Kingdom is still alive and did not die in that attack years ago but instead found a way to hide to avoid being targeted by us again."

I see...

After listening to Black Cat, White Snake couldn’t help but sigh.

"So, you have no good news either, is that right?"

"Actually, there is some good news."

After pondering for a moment, Black Cat replied somewhat unsurely:

"Some of the people we sent to attack her years ago were from the Pisces Branch, so she doesn’t trust the Clean-up Bureau. Over the years, she has never contacted anyone from the Bureau and has been avoiding the Pisces Branch’s search at all costs.

Moreover, as she is indeed a talented witch with abilities near the level of a small division director in the Clean-up Bureau, the larger the commotion the Pisces Branch makes to find her, the deeper she will hide. Although we cannot find her, neither can the Pisces Branch."

"That’s not exactly good news."

Upon hearing this, White Snake frowned and reminded:

"Even if the Clean-up Bureau cannot find her whereabouts, as long as she continues to live, she can maintain the strength of Watcher’s Palace. Only by killing her can our plans be truly successful!"

"Don’t worry, there will be an opportunity."

Facing White Snake’s reminder, the woman with the Black Cat mask paused in silence, then responded calmly:

"Someone from my Ball of Yarn Society recently received an audience with the Grand Witch King, who is now a hundred and thirty-eight years old and considerably weaker than in previous years. It seems she will die of old age in another year or two at most.

And at this time, as the Grand Witch King’s only daughter, the hidden princess, regardless of her patience, will definitely find a way to return to see her mother for the last time. As long as my people continue waiting in the Grand Witch Court, there will definitely be a chance to catch her trail!"

"Alright, as long as you have confidence."

Somewhat satisfied with Black Cat’s answer, White Snake nodded slightly, then glanced at the empty seat opposite Black Cat, which bore a Flower Fox mask, and proceeded to ask:

"Flower Fox...What about the Aquarius Director? How is his preparation going? Does anyone know?"

"His progress...should be fine?"

Upon White Snake’s inquiry, Dongya opposite Black Cat hesitated for a moment, then replied with some uncertainty:

"After Leon left on the dirigible, he immediately returned to the Royal Capital and prepared a lot of things, supposedly targeting the woman from the Virgin Branch. According to the Aquarius Director, he has found a way to deal with the Virgin Branch, just waiting for Leon to return."
