The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 691: Shimpan Family

Torkez didn't care about the forces of this city. As long as they follow the rule of Souta, he wouldn't mind them.

Hmm...?

He turned his head and saw several people trying to enter the gate to City Hall. He wondered where they got their guts to cause trouble in this place.

But after observing them he sighed. Those people were just thugs and it seems that they were following someone's order to test the waters here.

Torkez turned his head to Remina and said, "Go, leave one alive for interrogation then we'll move to destroy the people behind them."

"Yes, sir." Remina nodded and she quickly left to complete his order.

Looking at her back, Torkez sighed. He sat down on an empty chair and leaned his back while looking at the ceiling.

"It's been a while since I've met Souta and the others. I wonder what happened to them. The Astros still lacks a lot of things..."

He mumbled to himself. He should take this chance to rest since he's been working nonstop for the past few months. He could just leave the rest to Remina and the others.

He only brought ten people here. He was in the advanced group so the rest would arrive later. Not everyone would come here since they still have to guard the Guardian Fortress. It's just that since this place became Souta's territory, they had to build it the same.

"Yep, I'm going to rest here."

Torkez nodded as he closed his eyes and he slowly fell asleep.

Remina walked outside and glared at the three thugs who were trying to enter the City Hall. The two people who were guarding the gate bowed when she appeared. After all, her position in the Astros was quite high.

"What are you doing here? This is the City Hall! You people aren't welcome here!" She said in a cold tone.

"Oh, a beautiful woman! Why don't you just have fun with us?" One of the thugs licked his lips.

They stared at her body with lecherous eyes. They didn't even bother hiding their gaze at her.

Remina narrowed her eyes and said, "Kill them. Leave one alive."

"Yes," The two guards nodded at her politely.

"Hey-" One of the thugs was about to say something when something flashed in front of them. In the next moment, their heads were rolling in the air, splashing blood in every direction.

Thud!

With a "thud" sound, their heads landed on the ground. The remaining thug slowly turned his head and looked at his comrades. His face quickly turned pale as he fell on his butt while pointing at the two guards in horror.

"Y-Y-You..." He was shocked and scared at the same time. He didn't even know how his comrades died. It was too fast and he only realized it when two heads rolled on the floor.

"You couldn't even assess our power level so you must have thought that everyone is the same as you," Remina said plainly. She turned around and added, "Pick him up. We'll interrogate him."

She strode forward and entered the City Hall once again. She went to the other room and find her subordinates. She asked them to clean the gate and dispose the corpse of those thugs.

This city was just similar to where she came from, the Blue Ray City. In that city, the strongest experts were only at Liquefying Realm. At that time, she was only a small figure and she was ignorant about the true powerhouses of the universe.

"I wonder if there are people that we could use."

Remina muttered as she stared at her hand. She was stronger than before. She had reached the so-called Liquefying Realm and the nine people with her were all B-rank.

Before Liquefying Realm or A-rank, people had to strengthen their bodies and achieve a state where their bodies could withstand the transformation of mana. So from the lowest rank up to B-rank, people should focus on strengthening their flesh.

There was another route aside from strengthening their flesh. It was to widen their mana pool and increased their mana capacity. Most of the mages used this route.

"I wonder how many experts are hiding in this city."

Remina said in a low voice. It doesn't matter since she would find out later. They were going to check every corner of Ekatoe City before the leader arrives.

"It feels like they didn't care about the changes in the world. Or maybe, they think that it is out of their league."

She muttered. The changes in the mana density were a huge event but it seems that most of the people here didn't care about it.

"Or maybe, this is normal for them since they are folks of Divine World. But Sir Torkez said that this isn't a normal event."

She shook her head and placed thoughts in the back of her mind. She still had something to do, so she shouldn't think about those things right now. She would figure it out later after she completed her job.

...

In the Shimpam Family Household...

Edward had a gloomy look on his face. He looked at his two sons and slowly said, "The people from Blood Gore Bandits make a move. The people that they send to test were killed mercilessly."

"What's the rank of the people in the City Hall?" Adel, the first son, asked with a frown on his face.

"I don't have any idea but the three people from Blood Gore Bandits Masters," Edward said as he stared into the eyes of his sons.

"Masters? Then, the people at City Hall are experts at Grandmaster rank." Alan, the second son, said while rubbing his chin. "It's good that we remain silent or else our people would suffer the safe fate as those bandits."

In God's Continent, the expert at C-rank was called Master while the expert at B-rank was called Grandmaster. They were different from the Giza Continent which used the ranking of Adventurers Guild in the entire land.

Alan glanced at his father and asked, "Father, do you think that they are people of the Governor?"

Edward sighed and said, "I don't have any idea. We can only wait for the response from the City Hall and we'll know whose side they are."

Adel slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "No matter what! I will not let other people control our city! We should take the Blood Gore Bandits and let them fight the experts at City Hall!"

"We can't brother! Unless we have enough information about those people we can't act recklessly!" Alan said to his brother.

"What if it gets to the point that it's already too late to move because of your hesitation?! Can you really take the blame for it?! Huh?!" Adel said loudly.

"STOP!!" Edward shouted to stop both of his sons. He glanced at them and said, "Adel, stop it. Alan is right. In this world, it's better to move carefully. Sooner or later, I'm afraid that even our land would be involved in wars."

"That's why we had to move. Expand and strengthened our territory before the war occurred." Adel clicked his tongue.

He's not wrong. In this situation, they had to expand their powers and strengthened their army. The Governor had changed and he was already planning to annex the surrounding city including Ekatoe City. If they still remain silent, then they would be helpless once the army of the Governor of Mine Valley.

...

"Vice-Chief, the prisoner spilled some information. He said that he belonged to a group called Blood Gore Bandits. It's a bandit group that secretly hides and controlled the underground of Ekatoe City." The two guards that interrogated the thug returned. They quickly reported what they found to Remina.

Torkez was the Chief of Finance, Research, and Secretary of the Leader. While Remina was the Vice-Chief of Finance so when Torkez was in his research, she was the one who was handling the Finance Department of Astros.

Remina nodded while listening to the reports of her subordinates.

The Blood Gore Bandit was one of the three underground organizations of Ekatoe City. The three underground organization was in alliance to go against the Shimpan Family. They were fighting about who was going to control the city.

"As for the strength of their organization... It seems that we can't act rashly. I need to report this to Sir Torkez first."

Remina said with a frown. She massaged her temples and after a while, she glanced at the two. She waved her hand while saying, "You can go now."

They were the first batch here. The second batch would arrive soon and they would have enough manpower to annex the three underground organizations.

"Sir Torkez is the one who's going to decide," Remina mumbled as she stood up.

She quickly went to the City Lord's Office and found that Torkez was sleeping. She didn't disturb him and she just waited for him to wake up. In her view, the information about the three underground organizations wasn't worth it if she was going to disturb Torkez. Still, she had to report so she waited for him.

When Torkez woke up and heard her report, he answered, "Nah, we don't need to wait for the others. Let's just go there and destroy those people."
