Zach knew that his arsenal of Mechanical Dragonflies could be a crucial tool in his efforts to gather intelligence on the powerful Sosis family. To ensure that he had eyes and ears on the ground at all times, he strategically deployed all of the dragonflies by designating specific targets for each one. Sometimes, he chose trees or heavy stones as targets, confident that these objects would not be disturbed or moved by anyone. However, he avoided selecting people as targets, as this could have jeopardized his operation if someone decided to remove or destroy the dragonfly out of annoyance or suspicion.

Through this network of Mechanical Dragonflies, Zach had created a reliable information channel that provided him with critical firsthand information about the movements and activities of the Sosis family. This information was crucial for Zach if he wanted to go against the Sosis family, who were a behemoth in the Elizabeth family.

By knowing the Sosis family’s plans and movements in advance, Zach could stay one step ahead and protect himself from potential threats. He knew that he couldn’t always rely on his automatic weapons to keep him safe, especially when he wasn’t inside the mansion. With his Mechanical Dragonflies providing him with an early warning system, Zach felt much more confident and prepared to take on the powerful and dangerous Sosis family.

Moreover, Zach understood that despite the advanced technology he had installed in the Luther family mansion, it wasn’t foolproof. In a world where magic existed, there was always a possibility that an unusually talented magician could bypass the security system. Recognizing this vulnerability, Zach knew he couldn’t rely solely on the technology to keep his family safe. He needed to be in control of every aspect of their security, from start to finish. The only solution to achieving this level of control was information. Timely, accurate information would allow him to stay one step ahead of any move made by the Sosis family, who were known for their powerful magical abilities. With this information, Zach could act quickly to protect his family and maintain their safety.

“I am sure that you must already know by now, but it is only common courtesy that I introduce myself,” said Frederick Sosis, his tone laced with a hint of malice. “My name is Frederick Sosis, and I am the head of the Sosis family in Elizabeth city. And this is my son Raisman Sosis; the one the daughter of the Luther family is engaged to.” Raisman lounged on the couch with a stoic expression, but his feral eyes betrayed a deep sense of bloodlust as he stared at Zach. It was clear that the Sosis family didn’t take kindly to uninvited guests.

“What should I call the unexpected guests?” Frederick asked with a sly smile, subtly insulting Zach for his unannounced visit.

Zach remained composed and unfazed by Frederick’s demeanor. “I am sure that you already know me as well, but if I must say…then you can call me Zach,” he replied, with a hint of amusement in his voice. Zach knew that he was a stranger in this world, but that didn’t bother him. He had no ties to this world, and nothing to tether him down or threaten him with. He was a man with a mission, and he wouldn’t let anyone get in his way.

Frederick’s eyes flickered to the hooded figure standing next to Zach. He knew that Zach was the dark mage he had been eager to meet, but he wasn’t sure about the identity of his companion. He studied the figure intently, trying to glean any information from his memory, but came up empty-handed.

Zach could sense Frederick’s curiosity, but he had no intention of revealing anything about Luna. She was a crucial ally in his mission, and he couldn’t risk his enemies discovering anything about her. “Luna is with me,” he said simply, not offering any further explanation. Zach was a man of few words, and he knew that the less he revealed, the better.

With his main purpose of meeting the scion and head of the Sosis family fulfilled, Zach didn’t want to waste any more time beating around the bush. He knew that the Sosis family was notorious for their insidious plays, and he preferred a more direct approach to dealing with them.

“Now that the introductions are out of the way,” Zach said, fixing his gaze on Frederick, “let me come out and explain directly why I came to visit you out of nowhere.” He took a deep breath before continuing. “It was to inform you about my relationship with Diana, the princess of the Luther family. We’ve been seeing each other for some time now, and I felt it was only right that you should know, especially since I heard that you were coming to visit the Luther family tomorrow.”

Zach maintained a serious expression, but his calm demeanor belied the tension that hung in the air. He knew that his revelation would not sit well with the Sosis family, who had always been keen on maintaining their power and influence through strategic alliances and calculated moves.

The same could not be said about the Sosis family. Frederick, the head of the family, felt like he had been slapped in the face in the confines of his own home. He had always prided himself on his ability to stay ahead of his rivals, but this unexpected turn of events had caught him off guard. His mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation and figure out his next move.

Frederick’s face contorted in rage, his hands balling into fists as he struggled to control his emotions. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” he bellowed, his voice echoing through the room.

Zach, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, as if he had anticipated this outburst. He had always seen it all before and knew how to handle such situations. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes locked on Frederick’s, and spoke in a measured tone.

“What I mean to say,” he said, his voice devoid of any emotion, “is that you should not bother coming to the Luther family if the agenda of your visit is your son’s outdated engagement with Diana.”

There was a palpable silence in the room, broken only by the sound of Frederick’s heavy breathing. He glared at Zach, his eyes blazing with fury and frustration, but he refused to lash out in anger. This was his pride as an older family head. He knew better than to let his emotions get the best of him, especially in the presence of a rival.

Frederick knew that he needed more information about Zach before he could take any action against him. He had heard rumors about Zach’s formidable powers and his connections with some of the most influential families in the city. Frederick had his own network of spies, but he needed to gather more intel before he could decide how to deal with this new threat.

Moreover, he still hadn’t given up on recruiting Zach as the replacement to his previous dark mage. He knew that Zach’s abilities could be a valuable asset to his family’s operations, and he was willing to overlook their current rivalry if it meant gaining an advantage over his enemies.

Raisman, however, was a different story. He had always been impulsive and hot-headed, especially when it came to Diana. His obsession with her had clouded his judgment, and he couldn’t hold back his fury any longer.

“YOU MOTHERF*CKER!!” he screamed, his face contorted with rage. He stood up from the couch, his fists clenched as he prepared to launch himself at Zach. He wanted to let him know that the line for Diana’s suitors began with Raisman himself. There was no way he was going to let someone else take what he saw as rightfully his.𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘦𝑡
