Lyrian was about to reply to this but the chief of police cut in between, "Calm down! This is a meeting between the elites of this city. If such topics are to be discussed it is here."

The merchant calmed down after hearing this, as the guard chief turned to Lyrian with a serious gaze in his eyes.

"Still... do you have sufficient proof behind this statement, Lyrian? If not... it will lead to consequences that I will not be able to avoid giving. I hope you understand that." He firmly stated.

After this, Lyrian went on to explain what he had learned so far during his stay in Hogolsworth.

He began with his journey to Otinka village for the Orc quest and explained the overly powerful Orcs that he and his group of adventurers discovered.

He explained the Dark Ore empowering the orcs, and the figures dressed in black as described by the Orc Alpha.

Those around the table listened closely but were not convinced yet. All of these things could have simply been from coincidence.

However, Lyrian continued, assuring them that this was only the beginning of his investigation.

He then spoke with him about his journey to the Black Market. Although it was illegal to shop or even enter that place, it wasn't like the elites of Hogolsworth didn't know of its existence.

Lyrian explained that it was for investigation purposes only and was understood fairly easily.

He spoke about the Dark Ore swords and how he interrogated the owner, but just as everyone was anticipating a good answer to all of this, Lyrian implemented a lie.

"After interrogating him, In the end, I didn't receive any real information. So then, I moved on--" He continued.

'I will reveal that crucial information about Third Head at the end. That way, he won't refute it so early.'

The Third Head was anticipating to hear that his lackey had given out his name as a culprit.

However, on hearing Lyrian's words, there was a feeling of relief.

After that relief, however, came confusion. Interrupting Lyrian, the Third Head said through his orb, "Did you kill him?"

Lyrian stopped as he heard this.

The Third Head knew that the man that Lyrian interrogated had been killed since he lost all contact with him on the same day that Lyrian had visited the Black Market.

'If he didn't reveal any information, then why would he have to die? If this kid did kill him, then that most likely means he gave in and spoke about me.' The Third Head thought to himself.

Lyrian paused for a split second before talking. He knew exactly why Third Head asked that question as if he could read his mind.

He did kill him, but if he were to say it, it would make his story not line up.

So instead, to explain the disappearance of that shop owner, he said, "I didn't kill him, but before leaving him he told me that he was going to quit working forever and retire."

It was almost an obvious lie to both Lyrian and Third Head, but the others didn't think of it as so.

It seemed realistic enough, as anyone would do that after nearly getting killed by a kid because of black market dealing.

'T-this kid... I don't know whether he is lying or not.' Third Head mused in frustration.

'As long as I put him in a state of confusion, where he can't make a direct conclusion, I can keep moving forward with my explanation.' Lyrian thought to himself, and that was exactly what he did.

He continued, speaking about the main part of his story; the journey to Jambaal.

He spoke of the destruction and bloodshed within the small village, shocking those in the room.

When looking at Sir Hyroon, he could only nod and support what Lyrian was saying, which surprised everyone else.

"They called themselves Fifth Hair Sadness and Fourth Hair Anger, of the Black Petal Sect."

As soon as Lyrian said this, and Sir Hyroon testified to his statements, the atmosphere in the room changed.

The lead Buildsmith furrowed his brows. The chief of defense opened his eyes wider.

Metaal, the Adamantium-ranked adventurer, looked up slightly. He seemed interested now. 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"How strong were they?" He suddenly exclaimed. freewe(b)novel

Lyrian didn't hesitate to answer, "In adventurer terms, they were no less than CALAMITY threat-level beasts."

At that moment, even the nonchalant Metaal scrunched his forehead by opening his eyes widely.

He choked on his spit slightly, "W-what?" He exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey..." A bewildered voice came from Third Head's magic orb.

Everyone's attention switched to the orb, as Third Head continued, "Did you kill them?"

Lyrian didn't hesitate to say the truth. "Yes... I killed both of them."

Another atmosphere change occurred. Lyrian was seen in a new light.

'T-two CALAMITY threat level beasts? If he happens to not be lying... then just how powerful is he? No first year, even in Anaviotis, should be able to do that.' The chief of defense mused to himself in shock.

"I see... you're that strong huh?" Metaal muttered under his breath.

'He killed them. Both of them? All by himself?' Third Head repeated in his mind, in sheer disbelief.

"Sir Hyroon! Are you sure you can verify the words of Lord Lyrian? Please think deeply of your memories!" The merchant said, still shocked.

Sir Hyroon faced the fat man with a serious glare, "Do you think I wouldn't recall my family and friends being killed by those beings? I am not confused."

The merchant stammered, backing down slightly.

"And finally, that brings me to my next course of action

. Firstly, It is to track down the base of the Black Petal Sect."

Before anyone else could even wrap their heads around what was just unleashed, Lyrian continued.

"I need parties of adventurers, dozens of them with over 4 members each. Search parties need to spread across every corner of the outskirts of Veridrake."
