Bang!
"How long do we have to keep running like this? This is the second time where I nearly died. I had to sacrifice my men to get my ass saved. In the process, I have also lost almost all of my money and wealth."
Sitting in a secret room, there were 11 people. All of them were holding a glass of red wine in their hands. Beside the 11 men, there were four beautiful maids who were going around and serving drinks to these 11 men. Whenever one of them emptied their glass, the one of the maids would pour more for them.
"Life has become hell for us. In just two months we went from being at the top to being at the bottom. We lost our status. Our wealth. Our Power. Our respect. Everything that we held dear has been taken away from us." The one who spoke was a fat old man with bald head and white heard. The man appeared to be around 55 years old.
This man was the Duke, a respected noble of one of the 14 Kingdoms that joined hands with the Nepoca Kingdom to attack the Istarin empire. In the end, they miserably lost the war. No one, not even a single person had expected this outcome.
The Istarin Empire turned out to be a lion hiding under sheep skin. After killing more than one million soldiers, the Istarin Empire did not stop there. Under King Aditya's order, his seven generals went on to capture all 14 Kingdoms.
Count James and other nobles somehow managed to escape with their wealth. After escaping they thought that the Istarin Empire would stop coming after them, but it turned out they were wrong.
The Emperor had sent his shadow warriors after them. One by one, all the nobles that fled started dying. Now only 11 more nobles were left.
"Count James, can you please tell me what really happened last night?" Another noble who looked a little older asked the fat bald man named James.
"Last night, I was peacefully sleeping in my secret Mansion but suddenly the whole Mansion was attacked. By the time I realized that the whole Mansion was surrounded, it was too late. As a result I had sacrifice my two powerful guards and my family to run away. While running away, I had even leave my weath behind. Now I barely have enough gold coins."
Last night, Nathan had sent his subordinates to hunt Count James. Nathan was testing if his subordinates was ready to take missions without him needing to lead them. Unfortunately the mission was a failure. Although they managed to assassinate the count's family, the count himself managed to escape.
"I don't understand. We already have left our territories. We have gave up our powers. Even after doing all this, why the Emperor is sending his men after our lives?" The truth is if Aditya had given these nobles the option of surrendering many of them would have surrendered. But Aditya was strictly ordered all the nobles to be killed.
To some this might seem like the act of cruelty but to Aditya who knew what kind of men these nobles were, he wanted to end their lives and remove them from his territory. Just letting these viruses live in his land was corrupting his empire.
"Hmph! It's obvious that the emperor is after the money that we took while fleeing. But I am not going to give up hard earned money to the Emperor."
Some nobles rolled their eyes. "You say hard earned money? Exactly how hard did you work to earn this gold coins. Every one of us has tortured our own people in countless ways to fill our pockets. This is nothing but Karma."
"Should we give up the money to the Istarin King. As long as I can live in peace, I don't mind giving up my wealth."
"Are you an idiot or what? Listen I have made a plan to escape the Istarin Empire in the next 5 days."
"What plan?" Everyone looked very curious and also little excited.
"5 days from now on, a ship carrying slaves will go to Westnia continent. We can pretend to be slave traders and board on that ship and leave the Istarin Empire. As long as we reach Westnia, using the wealth we have, we can easily live a luxurious life."
"That's good idea. But how we're going to avoid the guards?"
"Don't worry about that. I have secretly spoken with the guard captain. In exchange for 100 royal gold coins, he has agreed to give us free pass."
"What are we supposed to do after reaching Westnia continent?" One of them asked. None of the nobles in this room had ever went to a different continent. Some of didn't know what kind of challenges they will face there.
"Don't worry about so many useless things. As long as we can leave the Istarin Empire, everything will become easy. At least we won't lose our lives."
"What about our businesses?" Even though the nobles have lost their powers and their territories. Their illegal businesses were still running.
"It's a matter of time before the Istarin empire targets our businesses as well. There is no hope. I suggest that before everything is seized by the Istarin Empire, you guys sell your businesses to the local gangs."
"I guess I will just do that."
"One more thing. Don't anyone, not even your servants about our plan of leaving the Istarin empire."
The only thing that stopped the nobles form leaving the Istarin empire as their businesses and the fact that Aditya had increased the security in the borders. Now that the Storm Isle Dynasty and the Thera Kingdom had become allies, if the nobles went there, they would be captured as criminals and sent back to the Istarin empire.
In a way, these nobles were tapped from all sides. They can't even use the teleportation arrays as Aditya had put tight security around the teleportation arrays. No criminal is allowed to use the teleportation arrays.
One of the nobles tried to use the teleportation array in disguise but unfortunately that noble was captured. And was publicly executed along with his family.

In the northern part of the Istarin Empire,
"Captain, everything is ready." A man appeared out of the shadow and reported to Nathan. The current Nathan had changed a lot. He had grown a little bit taller and also more mature. He was the leader of the assassins.
"Good. Surround the entire house first. Do not let anyone see you. If anyone does happens to see you, just kill them. If its an innocent person then knock them out. This time I don't want the same mistake to repeat. Otherwise....." Nathan did not needed to say the rest. Everyone under Nathan's division knew just how cold their Captain was. Anyone that failed to live Nathan test's was heavily punished. The punishment was more like torture that lasted for days.
"Let's start." Nathan and all the assassins disappeared in thin air. At this moment 24 assassins had surround by the double-story wooden house. Nathan sneaked inside and easily killed the guards. Nathan was so fast that no one was even able to the face or the figure of the person who killed them.
Nathan's killing technique was fast and swift. He did not made any sound. Also his weapons were coated with deadly poison that was made by Julia. The poison was strong enough to take down even a beginner 4th-order.
The nobles were holding their meeting at the basement of the wooden house.
Bang!
Nathan kicked opened the door and entered inside. After entering, he coldly smiled seeing the scared faces of 11 nobles. The last 15 months, these 11 nobles had been playing mouse and cat games. Now Nathan had finally found them together.
"It's checkmate." Nathan and his men captured the 11 nobles and took away their money.
"Captain, should we kill them?"
"No, they still have valuable information. Torture them and find out about the people betrayed the Istarin empire and has worked with him in the past. I also want the information on the local gangs and criminals." Aditya had given Nathan the task of clearing the corruption and criminals activities from the Northern part of the Istarin Empire.

Aditya had no idea what was going on in Istarin empire. No one in the continent knew that Aditya had come here. He had spread a rumor saying that the Emperor has went to close doors to cultivate in hopes of breaking through Mid 3rd-order.
In his absence, his generals and his unofficial prime minister was working very hard.
"So Aditya, are you interested in having another wife?"
"Huh?"
"Sylvie, what are you saying?"
It has been a few hours since Aditya, Sylvie and Alicia had started talking. It was mostly Sylvie who took the initiative to ask questions to either Aditya or to Alicia.
"What? I am being serious here. I am already more than 300+ years old. I am still a virgin. Is it wrong for me to try finding a husband?" Sylvie pitifully looked at Alicia. Sylvie was close to being 400+ years old. She had lived a long life but has failed to find a man who can shake her heart and make her fall in love.
While Sylvie's family was traditional family and wanted Sylvie to marry the person that her parents had arranged. The dark elf rejected and simply left home. It has been more than 200 years since Sylvie had left home. She was still angry at her parents. While her parents tried to bring Sylvie through various methods but failed to do so as Sylvie is a beginner 5th-order.
Sylvie turned to look at Aditya with a beautiful smile. "What do you think Aditya? While I am above 300+ years old, if you compare it to the age of humans, I am around 30 years old. I can cook, clean and also become an excellent wife. All you will have to do is just give me a baby."
"Sylvie!!!!" For some reason Alicia looked very angry with Sylvie's words. It was as if her words her triggered the goddess's wrath.
Aditya looked at Alicia. The calm, collected, reserved goddess that never lost control of her emotions was now looking angry. This was the first time Aditya had ever seen the goddess get angry. As for why she was getting angry, Aditya felt he knew the reason.
"How many children do you want Sylvie? Aditya asked Sylvie with a smile. Meanwhile Alicia glared back at Aditya which the dragon King ignored.
"Let me see. Since there are 7 continents and 7 goddesses, I want 7 children." Inwardly Aditya wondered what does the number of continents has to do with having children.
"Why stop at 7 when I can give you more? Why don't you give your personal info? After I go back, I will contact you. We can slowly start by going to various dates and hanging out."
"That's a great idea." Sylvie took out a piece of white paper and started writing her contact details.
"STOP" The goddess Alicia appeared in front of Sylvie and tore the white paper on which Sylvie had written her contact info.
"Hey! Why did you do that?" Aditya asked in a dissatisfied tone.
"Hmph! Why do you want another wife? You already have one." Alicia sat down while folding her arms under her chest.
"Princess, don't you know that Dragons have the second most stamina after Incubus? Our sex drive cannot be satisfied with only one woman. Not to mention the fact that my dragon bloodline is more powerful and special than ordinary dragons." What Aditya was saying is very true. But he did not had any intention of getting another woman beside Julia. Aditya considered himself as a loyal man.
After his bloodline evolved to Divine Crimson Dragon bloodline, Aditya painfully realized that his sex drive had reached a new level. At first it was very difficult for him to control himself but later he started using his right hand. Every night unless he uses his right hand at least for an hour, Aditya won't be able to go to sleep.
