After pointing his finger at the news in the newspaper in one of his hands, Wallace immediately continued his order. "Make the necessary preparations and send people to investigate the whereabouts of this miserable Minos."

Hearing this, that servant who had run to this place quickly after being called by the supreme elder swallowed his saliva and said in an uncertain tone. "But, master and... What about the war against the Hayes family?"

"What does the war have to do with it? It won't trouble us at all!"

"Give the order that some of our spies begin investigating this matter in the regions they are in and place a bounty on that worm's head." Wallace angrily said, still with a darkened expression, a murderous look in his eyes.

"Announce that the Chambers family will pay 10 million low-grade crystals for information leading to the capture of this bastard!"

"All right, master."

"And when there is any update on this subject, you should bring it to me as soon as possible. You understood?" Wallace then paused for a moment and said the following. "I will kill that miserable worm that killed my son!"

"Don't let anyone act before informing me!"

That person from before then nodded just before leaving that place in a hurry to start solving this matter.

Such a servant had been in Wallace's services for a long time. So, he immediately understood what the matter was about the moment he saw his master showing him that newspaper.

Even knowing the supreme elder's desire for vengeance, which had led him to order the death of a certain prince, this servant was worried about the family's current situation.

The war with the Hayes family had been very hard on both sides, with thousands of deaths and the downfall of several experts on both sides. Even cultivators at the intermediate levels of the 6th stage had died since such a conflict started!

But beyond that, with the participation of several other families from this kingdom in this war, this man couldn't help but think that dividing the family's attention with other issues at this time might not be the best...

Consequently, he had questioned the former order of the supreme elder. But hearing what such a man had in mind, this servant had dropped that subject.

First, he didn't have much room to interrupt his superiors' actions. Second, such orders seemed quite sensible, despite the hatred his master felt for Minos.

'I'm glad master didn't lose his mind over such information...' Virgil thought to himself as he walked through Wallace's residence. 'What he suggested shouldn't damage our current situation at all... And with the help of the Scourges of the Devil, we can reach that brat's location more quickly...'

It wouldn't cost much for this family to investigate a single person more through its many spies... As for the reward, that was less here. With the wealth of such power and the help of an organization specializing in this type of mission, it shouldn't be long before Minos' whereabouts were discovered!

'But it certainly is a relief... At least the family can get revenge for the death of one of the two most promising youths!' Virgil thought about it with a terrible smile on his face.

...

While the Reid and Chambers families began their investigations into the whereabouts and the young Stuart's past, similar things were happening in many other large regional families and organizations.

Many were after the information regarding the finalist of the last edition of the Spiritual Tournament. But such a thing happened for a very different reason from those other two powers...

While these two noble families wanted to erase Minos' existence from this world, these other powers wanted to recruit this young man or, at least, make a connection with him.

And to that end, they too had begun their investigations throughout the northern region of the Central Continent!

There were already people traveling towards the Cromwell Kingdom, the last place this young man had been seen before his supposed departure to the Flaming Empire. Several investigators hoped to find Minos' trail' in such a state and then find his current location.

That wasn't easy to do due to the years that had passed, but it wouldn't be impossible either!

Finally, even if many did not find his whereabouts, this was already a way for these powers to get more information about this very talented young man.

Previously there was a lot of curiosity about him. Still, no one had paid to find out about the life of that finalist of the Spiritual Tournament. After all, this would be just a curiosity for these people, which would have no potential to affect their lives.

But now that things had changed, getting such information would be necessary to those regional organizations, powers concerned to maintain their influence network and regional position.

On the other hand, while many were heading for the Cromwell Kingdom, many were starting to depart towards the mountainous areas of the northern part of the Central Continent. In such locations were located most of the hidden organizations of this region. Powers that would rarely appear in public and that most of the local population did not even know of their existences.

Part of the regional powers believed that Minos could only come from one of these organizations that lived in seclusion. Therefore, some people were already traveling towards these places to solve the mystery regarding him...

But in the meantime, the Cromwell Kingdom royal family seemed to be one of the most interested in this information!

After seeing the final fight between Troy and Minos, King Cromwell couldn't forget that young man and that fight!

He had lived a long time and would still have many centuries of life ahead of him. But King Cromwell was sure he would never again see a young man as promising as Minos in his entire life.

And remembering perfectly how incredible that fight had been, this king couldn't help but wish to bring this young man into his forces even more than the other regional leaders.

After all, there would always be a certain skepticism on the part of such people towards stories like Minos'.

Many would think that people would increase the size of the deeds of others, which commoners indeed did... And naturally, those leaders who did not witness such events would not take these stories so seriously.

Hence, upon finding out about Minos' rejection to join one of the Flaming Empire's sects, that level 59 cultivator leader of such state had immediately given orders for investigations to begin!

He had offered a reward for information about Minos as large as the Chambers family and sent several agents to investigate the traces left by this young man.

Finally, in the same state, the Hayes family had also received such information!

Such an organization had had some interactions with the mysterious Minos and the 'organization' behind him...

First, there was the incident involving Leroy Chambers and Davy Hayes. Then there was the invasion of the Chambers family base, where Kevin Chambers died, and Vivian Hayes took the Spring of Life.

Davy and Vivian's family had been searching for information about the power behind Minos for some time. Still, due to the beginning of the war with the Chambers family, such a thing had been put aside.

However, as soon as Vivian read that news published in the last edition of Northern News, she couldn't help bringing this matter to her family!

...

In a room in a beautiful residence in the hometown of the Hayes family, Vivian and her girlfriend were sitting face to face as they talked about this subject concerning Minos.

"What did your elders say about this matter?" Grace asked as she stared into her partner's eyes.

"They said that we cannot send our members to investigate this matter. For them, the war is already consuming us too much right now, and the potential for this to help the family is not great enough for us to invest in it." Vivian replied in an uncertain tone.

She agreed with the logic of her elders, but she couldn't help feeling that although logical, it wasn't right. She felt that Minos was far more relevant than all the other regional powers thought.

This young woman had never forgotten what had happened to that seer!

On the other hand, upon discovering the presence of Minos in this region, she could not help but think of a particular hypothesis...

'That person I met.... He can't be Minos, can he?'
