Chapter 230 - Issuing Orders
Klein Seymour's vagueness quickly left Quinn Richmond baffled, thinking how can the Dark Lord possibly a divine dragon?
The real divine dragon seemed to have taken residence on a small island off the eastern shores of Silvercove city, not too far from the Dimensional Rift.
In the past two days, it had killed a fair number of interdimensional beasts but not a single human or hunter.
In fact, hunters have attempted to approach the divine dragon on several occasions, but the divine dragon avoided them and flew away like it was running from a plague.
As such, it was labeled not dangerous among the hunters' circle.
If the people of Silvercove city also knew about it, they might even label the divine dragon as the guardian of Silvercove city.
Thanks to its timid nature, Quinn Richmond had managed to procure some 'samples' from the divine dragon's nest.
However, the samples differed too much from what he received from his friend.
Now that his friend suddenly mentioned the divine dragon again with vague insinuations about the Dark Lord, Quinn Richmond eventually realized what his friend meant before his eyes slowly widened.
"Wait a minute, Klein. So you're telling me the divine turd you sent me actually came from a human, and it's the Dark Lord no less?!"
Quinn Richmond was flabbergasted.
Klein Seymour curled his lips and asked, "What do you think?"
"Goddammit…" Quinn Richmond muttered incredulously before commenting, "Truly, the excrement of a True Immortal is out of this world."
His lips twitched shortly.

Shortly after Albion's appearance was revealed for everyone to see, the crowd eventually dropped to their knees again.
"Long live the Dark Lord!"
"The Lord is invincible and unsurpassable!"
The crowd prayed and praised in worship before a daring 5-star official of Damocles approached Albion with a lady beside and asked, "My Lord, are you looking for a spouse behind this masked event? What do you think of my daughter?"
Immediately, there were soft murmurs from the guests in the crowd as people cursed the 5-star official for being a quick fox and making the first move.
Nevertheless, Albion cast an uninterested glance at the beautiful lady beside the 5-star official before he responded back nonchalantly, "What do you think?"
The 5-star official smiled wryly at the Dark Lord's impassive look before he glanced at Xiao Hua and Fenriri at Albion's side.
"I also have a 13-year-old daughter who is even more pretty than her big sister if you are interested, my Lord…" the stubborn 5-star official continued.
Albion's expression darkened.
"You may go back and continue to enjoy the banquet now," Albion waved his hand and said cooly, "I am not interested, nor am I looking for a spouse."
"Y-Yes, my Lord."
At the same time, the crowd quickly broke into quiet chatters.
"F*ck, this person has no shame!"
"Dare to use his daughters to climb the social status!"
"How shameless!"
The several officials, officers, and foreign guests denounced the 5-star official subtly, but they also thought of introducing their daughters, young and old.
Several older women also thought of joining the fray, but the idea was ultimately dropped after the Dark Lord's statement.
All guests who had thoughts of seducing the Dark Lord with beautiful women eventually retreated back to their seats.
Shortly after, Albion turned to Fenriri and casually asked, "Ready to return to your sister?"
Fenriri quickly stuffed the last handful of food in her mouthful before wiping her mouth and nodded energetically.
"Yesh, Master!"
Evidently, Fenriri was not finished eating, but since her sister was mentioned, she could not be greedy.
"You're planning to leave already, my Lord? Our men have yet to get the opportunity to interact with you, my Lord," Polemos said with surprise.
Nevertheless, Albion shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. They have already seen my face, and that is enough."
"They are primarily people under you or people in business cooperations with you. As such, there's no need for them to listen to me when they listen to you. Also, I am still busy subjugating demihumans on the Glacia continent."
"Since I have eaten, I will now leave to continue my business on the Glacia continent. You must be quite busy as well to only have shown up now. Just let these people enjoy the banquet by themselves."
"Understood, my Lord," Polemos nodded in compliance.
The Dark Lord was right. He was still needed in the control center and could not be absent for too long before something goes wrong.
"Oh, right." Albion suddenly recalled something before asking, "How reliable is that Maverick Cohen?"
"He is my second-in-command, my Lord. Very strong and reliable, of course," Polemos answered honestly.
"Good." Albion nodded and said, "Then I will give him three days to take complete control and cement the authority of my Blackthorne Group in Silvercove city. Send the word for me."
"Yes, my Lord!"
"Also, you may provide the resource and manpower he requests to get the job done. Do it well, and I will reward you with another refined pill to aid your cultivation."
"Yes, my Lord!" Polemos answered again.
However, this time, his eyes twitched repeatedly as he recalled the abomination of a pill he swallowed last time, which stank terribly and nearly extracted his soul.
After a moment, Polemos paused and inquired, "My Lord seems to be in a rush to get matters done. Did something happened?"
"I wouldn't say something happened, but I did discover something big. As such, I need to hasten my plans even if I have to use all your men."
"My men exist to be used by you, my Lord. But what did you discover exactly?"
"I will tell you more about it next time. If Mavericks completes the task within the given time, I want to follow up and subjugate the entire Draco county within the month."
"Understood, my Lord." Polemos nodded.
Shortly after Polemos left, Albion turned to Xiao Pipi before saying, "Since you've joined my Blackthorne Group, I will give you work right away. After the banquet, go back to Silvercove city and assist the Blackthorne Group in conquering the city."
"I want the government and the underworld completely under my rule with those three days, understood?" Albion added.
