"Sir."
Mu stood respectfully in front of Newton. Although he had already decided to go, he still needed to meet with Mu at the original base of the Six Demon Generals first. However, he would be going alone, but he still needed to bring along his necessary subordinate, Lackey, to help carry things and run errands. After all, he couldn't do everything himself as the boss.
"Well, this is Puppeteer. This time, Puppeteer and I will handle the matter."
Jiang nodded beside Newton.
"Hello, my name is Puppeteer. I’m somewhat of a newcomer, and I hope you can take good care of me."
Jiang was very polite, but Mu remained cautious. After all, Jiang had always had that cheerful demeanor. However, now that the Six Demon Generals had been captured and their forces wiped out, Mu was representing Circus in place of the Six Demon Generals.
"Hello, Lord Puppeteer."
Mu acted very humbly, not daring to overstep in any way.
"There’s no need to be so formal; I'm not that terrifying. Compared to these guys, I'm quite friendly."
However, Mu was not easily swayed by their words and only half believed what Puppeteer said.
"Alright, alright, if you keep this up, you'll scare the kid."
Newton chuckled, and Mu did not argue with how Newton referred to him.
"Now then, what’s going on this time?"
"It’s like this: usually Underworld Gate and Demon Heart don’t manage Dark Guild affairs much, so the Six Demon Generals have always been the actual leaders of Dark Guild. But now that all the Six Demon Generals have been captured, that leadership position has become vacant. Although we have completely taken over everything from the Six Demon Generals, there are still many who do not accept us. This time, there are those who oppose us, so we need to prove to others that we have the strength to hold this position."
Mu's words made Newton nod in agreement. He had already anticipated that these guys would cause him trouble, but he hadn’t expected it to happen at this moment.
"I understand. By the way, isn't there news about Jelf?"
"Isn't that fake?"
Indeed, although Jelf was called the legendary Dark Mage, there were actually very few in the Dark Guild who truly believed in him. What they wanted more than Jelf himself was his magic. As for whether Jelf was still alive? Not many believed that.
"That's true."
Newton nodded.
"Then let's go. Where's the meeting place? If it's far, we should head there now."
"Yes, I'll prepare immediately."
Mu nodded and then sent someone to get the carriage and luggage ready.
Soon, the carriage was prepared, and dozens of people set off towards a mountainous area.
It resembled the Nirvana forest from before—a large house surrounded by countless tents, divided into several areas. The largest tent had a flag on top, displaying the Guild's emblem.
Upon entering the camp, Newton realized there were no more places to settle down.
"This must be a show of force, right?"
Newton smiled, while Mu beside him nodded helplessly, feeling a bit excited as well. He had attended gatherings like this before; it was quite similar. If they arrived early, they could find a good spot, but often they couldn't hold onto it. And this time...
Mu looked at Newton and Jiang beside him, curious about how these two would handle things.
"Forget it, since there's no place outside, let's go in."
Newton's words left Mu momentarily stunned. Go in? He then looked toward the large house in the center.
"Um, Ugly Lord, we haven't received anyone's approval yet. Only those in leadership positions in the Guild can enter there," Mu reminded Newton.
"Aren't we the leaders?"
Newton tilted his head and then looked at Jiang.
"Puppeteer, you go out and keep watch. Anyone who dares to stop us, eliminate them all."
After all, they were all part of the Dark Guild, and Newton showed no mercy when it came to killing.
"Yes, sir."
Jiang nodded and then flew out, hovering in mid-air.
"What is that thing?"
"I don't know; it flew out from that carriage."
"Is it a member of the Circus?"
"That should be the case."
"Hmph, what is this? A monkey show? Flying is something many people can do."
"Let's see what this guy wants to do."
"Master, how... do we go?"
Mu was drenched in cold sweat.
"Don't you know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line?"
Chou rolled his eyes, while Mu trembled even more.
"Um, Master, this road..."
"Drive... Otherwise, I believe there are plenty of people willing to help me drive."
Chou's words immediately silenced Mu, who obediently drove forward.
Not far ahead was a campsite, and Jiang immediately flew over.
"Warning! Please leave this area immediately, or I will attack!"
Looking at the Puppeteer hovering in mid-air and hearing the warning, the people at the campsite laughed, their mocking words ringing out. Some even launched an attack against the Puppeteer.
"Boom!"
The explosion didn't even chip the paint off Puppeteer's metal surface. However, since the other side had attacked, Jiang immediately began to counterattack as he deemed necessary.
"Warning ineffective, target, eliminate!"
Raising an arm, a missile flew toward the camp.
"Hahaha, you think this kind of thing can..."
"Boom!"
A mushroom cloud erupted, and even Newton, who was inside the carriage, felt the tremor. The driver, Mu, was stunned, staring blankly at the scene before him.
It wasn't just Mu; even the other members of the Dark Guild were dumbfounded. This kind of attack was a joke, right? There couldn't be more than a handful of people here capable of stopping it. And this was just a Puppeteer. Earlier, they had heard about a Hypnotist and a musician—were there any other professions involved? Surely there had to be a Circus animal trainer or magician? And there must be a leader as well? With that in mind, this Guild was starting to seem terrifying. Everyone fell silent, watching as missiles continued to fly through the air, mercilessly targeting those who had survived the initial explosion—whether they were fleeing or lying on the ground in agony, they were all ruthlessly finished off.
At that moment, Mu felt grateful for his foresight. Observing the opponent's methods now made him realize how naive his previous thoughts had been. It was no joke; cold sweat soaked his back.
"Tsk, the ground really isn't solid. Mu, steer clear of this pit."
Mu instinctively drove the carriage in another direction. Without needing any further warning from Jiang, they scrambled to move away from the danger zone, while Newton and the others settled into a nearby house.
