A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 502 I Shouldn’t Have Let Him Go Back Alive!

A deathly silence descended over the entire conference chamber, and dark expressions appeared on everyone’s faces as they looked at the letter.

There was no name on the letter, but no one doubted its authenticity. No one knew just how closely connected the elven race was with the Magus Tower.

“Schubert held such a high position in the elven race; how could Irina kill him just like that? She’s insane!” Brent gulped nervously with an incredulous expression on his face.

Elliot and the others also looked at Richard in silence. They had all participated in that ambush three years ago, contributing to the downfall of Mag Alex.

Schubert was one of the magic casters sent to assist them by the elven race. Now that he had been killed by Irina, everyone was feeling rather concerned.

Just how powerful was Irina? It was said that in the younger generation, Irina was the closest in power to Mag Alex. As people who had faced the terrifying might of Mag Alex in person three years ago, everyone present had a good idea of just how powerful she was.

If she was beginning to take revenge for Mag Alex and her little daughter, then what was going to become of them? Schubert’s death was perhaps just the beginning.

“Irina has always been volatile and unpredictable. It’s not strange for her to kill Schubert if she discovered his involvement in that incident three years ago.” Richard looked at everyone with a grim expression, and said, “This might just be the beginning. The royal family might have kept the incident confidential, and all of the evidence has been eradicated, so we don’t know how much information is in her grasp. The elf that was here a while ago might have taken back more information than we anticipated.”

“What should we do, then? If she learns that we participated in the assassination three years ago, will she seek revenge on us?” Brent was feeling quite anxious. The threat of Krassu was still hanging over his head, and he was now having to potentially deal with Irina’s revenge. He felt as if he were about to have a mental breakdown.

“We are the only ones with knowledge of that incident. All of the demons involved have been killed, and the second prince definitely won’t disclose any information. Even if she knows that our Magus Tower was involved, surely she wouldn’t make us her enemy. Even the royal family won’t allow her to kill magic casters of our Magus Tower with no evidence nor reason. She won’t dare to do anything to us unless she wants to provoke a full-blown war between the Roth Empire and the elven race. Besides, as powerful as Mag Alex was, we still managed to bring him down. If she goes too far, we can just do the same with her as well.” Elliot was full of confidence.

Brent’s breathing accelerated as he said, “Yes! We’ll kill her if she dares to come after us! She and Alex gave birth to that filthy half-breed child, and we’ve been covering that up for her this entire time. If we tell the entire elven race about this, no one will support their princess anymore. If her status as the princess is revoked, she’ll just be an ordinary elf no matter what she does. We can kill her without worrying about anything then.”

The other elders’ eyes also lit up upon hearing that. After killing Alex three years ago, Irina’s revenge was always the main cause for concern for them. If they could kill her as well, then all of the issues would be resolved.

“Also, hasn’t Krassu already completely detached himself from the Magus Tower? If he tries to destroy the Magus Tower, we can just kill him as well! He’ll just be an intruder, so we have a reason to kill him!” Brent’s expression was already becoming twisted with a hint of insanity.

“Well…” All of the elders became hesitant upon hearing that, and all of them turned to Richard.

“Idiot! I can tell why Hank turned out the way he did now.” Richard glared at Brent with a cold expression as he scoffed, “If you dare to spread word of Irina having a child with a human, the entire continent will know that our Magus Tower joined forces with the demons to kill Alex. Do you plan to commit suicide then, or face the wrath of the imperial army? The elves dared to let us know about Irina birthing a child with a human because they knew that we can’t reveal that secret no matter what. Do you plan on fighting the entire elven race as well?”

“I… I…” Brent’s expression changed as he hung his head.

“As for Krassu, even though he’s left the Magus Tower, if he really does come to destroy our Magus Tower, do you think everyone will join you in your efforts to kill him?” Richard’s voice grew even colder as he said, “Let me tell you this: at least half of our members will kill you first as they were all unofficial disciples of Krassu. If you dare to attack Krassu, that old monster in the royal palace will definitely come after you. Those two are the only ones left among the founders of the Magus Tower.”

Brent’s face paled further and further as he listened to Richard’s criticism. In particular, upon hearing mention of the old monster in the royal palace, his legs began to tremble, and he lowered his head even further.

Elliot also lowered his head in silence.

“What should we do then, Great Elder? We can’t just sit around and wait for these threats to eventuate.” A short and stubby elder wore a concerned expression.

“Don’t be too concerned. Irina has been locked away in detention for a year, and there’s no way she has a list of everyone involved in the assassination three years ago, so she won’t come after us anytime soon. Besides, our Magus Tower is not an organization that anyone can just push around. If she really dares to come after us, then let her come. This is our territory; what do we have to fear?” Richard burned the letter into ashes as he said coldly, “I’ll deploy some people to keep an eye on Irina. From now on, we’ll cut off her connection with the outside world. As long as she can’t find any concrete evidence, she won’t come to Rodu. At the same time, we’ll exert pressure on the elven race so they can control her. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to face us in battle, either.”

“Great Elder, I…” Brent wanted to say something.

“If I were you, I’d think about how I can get to Chaos City as quickly as possible.” Richard turned to him with a cold expression.

“Yes.” Brent could only lower his head with a fearful expression.

“Bastard! That elf discovered way more than I thought he had. I shouldn’t have let him go back alive!”

In the second prince’s manor, Josh wore an expression twisted with fury as he looked at the green letter in his hand. Countless sheets of white paper fluttered around him as if to accentuate his rage.
