Edwin received the twenty 4 Star Warriors and the official seal and papers of the territory in Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Edwin created a recruiting program for soldiers. All the people below the age of 15 were eligible for this training program.

These 4 Star Warriors were going to train those new recruits. They were going to drill discipline and exercise within them.

Meanwhile, he also teleported that official seal and papers to Azaroth. Edwin felt that it would be better for Azaroth to hold onto them.

A copy of those two objects had already been created, so Edwin would have no issue utilizing the territory he had acquired.

Meanwhile, within the Royal Palace of the Sinyalian Kingdom, an individual wearing completely white-colored clothing was seated on the throne.

.

The Lion's Character was imprinted on his clothing as he stared at the individual who knelt in front of him.

It was a warrior wearing a Fox Mask. Naturally, this was none other than the Inquisitor Fox, Shun Gordon.

"Your Majesty, it's time to confront your son's murderer," Shun spoke with a serious voice.

The King didn't seem pleased as he heard that sentence. He asked with a visible frown on his face, "In all these years of your service, I have never once asked a reason for your actions. Even when you asked me to not hunt Edwin Rhodes, I listened to you and stayed my hand even though this man is my son's murderer!"

"However, I admit that my patience has reached its limits. Why did you not allow me to deal with Edwin Rhodes? Tell me the truth now!" The King's voice resounded in that hall.

Fortunately, there were only two individuals in the Hall. One was the King, and the other was Shun Gordon.

Shun was wearing a mask, so the King had no idea what his facial expression was. Whether he was worried or calm right now.

But soon, Shun Gordon spoke out with his calm voice, "I didn't mention this reasoning to Your Majesty before because it would complicate the situation. Both for Your Majesty and for the entire Kingdom."

"I was also not sure just how wide Edwin Rhodes's network was. It had been much larger than I expected. And now, I have an idea of what this network is and how we should deal with it," Shun Gordon spoke with a confident tone.

The King was interested in hearing the details. He never realized that Edwin was such a big deal.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that Royal Elf Princess who escaped from the Silent Death Organization's clutches?" Shun asked the King.

"Naturally, I do. But what does that have anything to do with it?" The King responded with a confused expression.

"Edwin Rhodes is the one who freed this Royal Elf Princess and has sent her somewhere else," Shun responded.

He then further asked another question, "Does Your Majesty remembered that Emperor Ranked Beast Egg?"

The King nodded to his question. Shun then added, "It was stolen by this Edwin Rhodes as well."

Shun wasn't done, though. He continued, "This man is also a 5 Star Array Master roaming in all parts of the Sinyalian Kingdom. I am sure Your Majesty has heard of Dark Shadow's name. This is Edwin Rhodes's Alias."

"He is also the one who instigated the battle between the Radiant Church and the Roger Dukedom. I don't know how but he has gained stable control over the Walsh Dukedom. Perhaps he struck a deal with the Duchess of the Walsh Dukedom, but there is no doubt that he has great control over the Walsh Dukedom."

"He has a strong connection with your Royal Guard Captain's daughter. My guess is that it's a romantic connection. According to what I have heard and observed, the girl is fully intoxicated with him," Shun spoke.

"I don't know why he killed Bernado or how he killed him. How he found out that Bernado was alone in his mansion and so on. But since he killed him, he must have had a deeper motive. His attack on the 5th Prince later only proved my hypothesis. He wanted to make you and the Crown Prince against each other," Shun finally finished speaking.

"…I understand that this man is much more mysterious than I ever expected. So, what is his secret? I am sure you know about it," The King looked straight into Shun's eyes.

"…Yes. But I believe you need to prepare yourself. His identity is far beyond what you might expect," Shun responded while staring back into the King's eyes.

The King was startled to hear those words and began to wonder about Edwin's true identity. Was he a spy of some other Kingdom? A reputed warrior? Or a Royal Family Member of another kingdom.

Shun took a deep breath as he spoke, "His true identity is that of a Demon God from millions of years ago who has reincarnated into Edwin Rhodes's Body."

Stomp!

"WHAAT?!" The King couldn't help but yell out with all his might!

"It's exactly what you have heard, Your Majesty. His abilities, his power, and his intelligence, most of them are completely unknown to us. I was hesitating to take action against him because there was no telling what he might do if he was forced into a corner," Shun spoke with a solemn expression.

"In these last couple of months, other than managing my territory, I had made it my personal mission to stop him! I investigated and analyzed all his movements. I have been creating my counter plan to stop him as well. Thus, it took a little longer than I expected."

"The main issue for me was how to deal with the Walsh Dukedom without reducing the Sinyalian Kingdom's strength. I don't wish to make the Sinyalian Kingdom weaker than before," Shun spoke solemnly.

"What is the solution you thought of?" The King slowly recovered from his shock and asked Shun.

Shun replied with a cold look in his eyes, "Assassinate the entire bloodline of the Walsh Dukedom down to the last child."

Even the King was shocked to hear those words. It would be a massacre of one of the greatest Noble Houses in the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Something that had never occurred in their history!

"The entire territory would be split into three parts. The largest part would be recovered by the Kingdom. It would be best to let the Crown Prince handle it. While the other two smaller parts should be handed over to the Rhodes House and the Roger Dukedom," Shun spoke solemnly.

The King had no issue giving the largest territory to David and a smaller territory to the Roger Dukedom. However, he was curious why Shun mentioned the Rhodes House.

Shun noticed that the King wanted an explanation and spoke out, "There is one other than me who knows of Edwin Rhodes's true identity. It's Jonas Rhodes. The two of us realized Edwin's identity at the same time, so he naturally knows about it."

"And while I was investigating and analyzing Edwin's movements, he and the Rhodes House assisted me greatly. I believe he deserves a reward for his efforts," Shun added.

"I see… You are indeed right. The two of you have realized a massive threat to the kingdom and have dealt with it without letting the enemy know. Very well, this can be the reward for the Rhodes House. I will need to think of an official reason, though," The King spoke while massaging his temples.

Shun sincerely spoke, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The King ignored those words and asked him, "I understand the gravity of the situation. So, what is the timing you chose to confront him?"

The King received a swift response from Shun, "Two weeks later."
