"...how did they get in?" 

This was what Raven asked as soon as all the intruders died. His and the other's expression were grim. He looked around and saw that the ones who died weren't only the intruders but some of the guards as well. 

"We have no idea either..." Henry replied, wiping off the blood on his sword. "Somehow, they managed to breach the fabrics of space and infiltrate the pocket dimension of our sect. They murdered the guards, I happen to be at Tartarus so I sensed the commotion. I couldn't see them so I could only try my best to prevent them from entering."

"He called us here, but we also couldn't see them. They were unnaturally fast and they have something that's preventing us from pinpointing their location. Thankfully you came and undid their invisibility." Charles added as he removed the dead bodies in his spear. 

Raven's face was grim, he walked over to the dead bodies, the Brush of Wisdom glowed as he erected a barrier the encapsulated the entire entrance. Time stopped and space was locked. With a deep breath, Raven placed his hand on the dead bodies and activated his Spacetime Laws to reveal the information he needed. 

With the help of his Spacetime Laws, images of the past rushed on Raven's mind. He was able to trace the intruders' history and how they managed to breach the spatial barrier which only high-ranking members of the sect are allowed to unseal. 

After a couple of minutes, Raven retracted his arm and got rid of the barrier. 

When time resumed, the War Gods saw Raven's dark expression and flinched. All of a sudden, a dense killing intent flooded their surroundings. Raven abruptly looked above, seemingly glaring at the skies. The War Gods could've sworn that they heard a little gasp out of nowhere. 

"I know who you are..." Raven muttered darkly. "You are either very brave or very foolish. Did you honestly think that just because you have the Dawn Council's backing our Sect couldn't do anything to you?"

Raven's cold and furious voice echoed across the entire sect. The skies were shaking. Several silhouette then appeared beside Raven. It was the Sect Master and the Grand Elder as well as their wives, all of them were looking at the same spot that Raven was glaring. 

"Hoho...some kids are truly audacious nowadays." The Grand Elder laughed coldly but his fury was also palpable. "Boy, it seems that some people are looking down on you. It seems like they weren't properly educated."

"So it would seem...it looks like we have to remind the world who they're trying to provoke. Well, we have been quiet for quite some time. I guess we need to give them a wake-up call." 

"What are we waiting for then? Let's go." The Grand Elder disappeared from his spot.  action

The sect master looked at Raven and said: "I'm off, I leave the sect on your hands." 

Raven nodded and said: "Have a nice trip, bring back some souvenirs for us." 

"Sure." 

Raven glared at the skies one last time before waving his hand, causing the clouds to part. He snorted and burned the bodies of the intruders. Meanwhile, the War Gods could finally react. 

"What was that, just now?" Logan asked, still, confused about what just transpired. 

"...you know that I could use my Spacetime Laws to track history right?" Raven looked at Logan who nodded. "I tracked the history of the intruders and managed to find out who sent them." 

"Well?" Henry asked.

"...it was George Harrison."

"Son of a bitch!!" Logan spat in fury. 

"Heh..." Henry tightened the grip on his sword. 

"Tch." Even Charles was royally pissed. 

Who is George Harrison? 

He's a rather famous in the Divine Realm - no, it isn't because he's strong or he has many myths surrounding him. He's famous because one, he's related to one of the Divinity-ranked experts who managed the Dawn Council and two, he's extremely nosy. 

George is born with an unruly attitude and an unhealthy obsession to discover everybody's secrets. His notorious for causing conflicts between parties because he also runs an Information Trading business. With enough money, he wouldn't hesitate to expose the deepest and darkest secret of someone even at the cost of offending them. 

The dude has balls of steel. He has enemies everywhere but he also has countless of business partners. Additionally, he had a Divinity Ranked expert backing him and that just made him more unscrupulous. People have tried countless methods to ambush him but he's slippery as an eel. He always escapes and exposes even more secrets. 

Raven and co. had no idea what George ate recently which made him think that laying hands on their sect was a good idea. Whatever it is though, everything's too late for him. 

For the first time in his life, George was caught by someone red-handed. The Sect Master and the Grand Elder was coming for him...

"Oh well, no need to feel alarmed. Sect Master and Grand Elder set-off to apprehend him. Let's see if he could still escape somewhere - eh?" 

Raven didn't even manage to finish his sentence when he felt something amiss. The War Gods looked at him and asked: 

"Hey, what's the problem?"

"Are you okay?"

"What happened?" 

"I'm fine...Hahaha, that's clever. Unfortunately, you met me." Raven responded to them first but he looked at the skies and laughed. He waved the Brush of Wisdom a couple of times. 

Nobody saw what he did and Raven didn't bother explaining, he just turned around and said: "Let's go, I'm planning on fortifying the arrays hiding the sect."

"Shit! Shit! How!? Who the hell is he? How did he find them and me!? Who the hell is that brat?" 

Inside his private chambers, George was pacing back and forth with a pale face while sweating coldly. The cold glare of that blue-haired man constantly haunted him. Despite only surveying through a crystal ball, it felt like that guy was staring straight at him. His knees almost gave way when the Sect Master and the Grand Elder of the Ancient Elysium Sect showed up and glared at him as well. 

"Shit! I have to tell Uncle! Surely...surely he can help me!!" 

*Tring!* *Tring!*

Chiming sounds echoed on his ears. George's eyes lit up as he immediately picked up the talisman.

"U-Uncle! Greetings Uncle! I-"

"I can't save you."

"...eh?" George felt the world crumbling as he heard his Uncle's cold words. "U-Uncle what are you -"

"Of all people and places...you just have to target them." His uncle's words were filled with helplessness which just caused George to feel even more despair. "I've warned you time and time again. Now you provoked something you shouldn't. I can't help you."

"W-what are you saying Uncle!!? Are you leaving me here to die!? That's absurd! How could you!? How could you!?" George was hysterical. "You're a Divinity-ranked expert as well right!? Can't you hold them off? W-wait no! A-an exchange! Yes! An exchange! Tell them you are willing to trade one of your treasures, in exchange of pardoning me just this once!"

"Please Uncle!? Please!? S-see? I didn't even found out anything! T-they killed my minions before they could infiltrate their sect!? No damage has been done right!? S-surely they could pardon me just this once right? They truly didn't lose anything anyway!? Come on Uncle, please!? I'm begging you!"

"...you think I haven't tried that already?" 

"What!?"

"Like I said...there's I can do." The voice on the other side sounded helpless. "Surely you understand why right? Even the Dawn Council can't go against them. They refused me, a Divinity, if I insisted, then they won't hesitate to kill me as well as our whole clan."

"I warned you so many times, it is you who didn't take me seriously. Now, man-up and accept your punishment." 

"You heard him, boy."

"Hiieeek!!!" George let out an ugly shriek when he heard another voice within the room. The talisman on his hands turned to dust as he mechanically looked behind him, only to see four silhouettes glaring at him darkly. 

"You know, for a Prophet, you surely don't know how to hide your tracks." Alwina - the Sect Master's wife, mocked George for his carelessness. Tracking this guy through Karma wasn't so hard for her at all. 

George's legs turned to jelly as he powerlessly fell on the ground, his face was drowning in despair as all hopes of escaping were severed the moment they arrived here. Nobody managed to come this close to him before but these four managed to do so without alerting him nor triggering his traps. George knew that any kind of retaliation was useless at this point. 

"P-please, I beg you. S-spare me." George prostrated before the four divinities in front of him. At the corner of his heart he was furious. 

His face twisted as he triggered a hidden mechanism that's attached to his body. This was his final ac of escape, something that not a single soul knew other than him and something that could save his life in dire situations likes this. As he was about to celebrate since he felt the mechanism triggering, he was dumbfounded to see a bright golden rune shimmering on his hands. 

The image of the blue-haired man laughing at him crossed his mind as he wailed..

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"
