The Conquerors Path

Chapter 288-Leash On A Ruler

"The fight between your two factions has now become too much, it has already started to affect the academy as a whole, right now and here we have to put an end to it"

Angelina spoke with her hypnotizing yet pleasant voice, even I had to agree that she had a certain edge to her voice that made one more inclined to listen to her, I nodded my head at her words as did Ron, seeing it she smiled and continued,

"Since both, the parties are in agreement, all we have to decide is how we should settle this"

After saying so she quieted down, her face altering between Ron and me, for a few seconds silence prevailed before which a demon standing behind Ron spoke,

"The battle till now has affected both the factions, it has also resulted in a steady increase in rivalry and hate between both humans and demons and taking into account the status of both the party leaders, a chance of a political problem is also at hand"

After the demon finished speaking no one rejected his words and the one to continue speaking was Alex who walked a bit forward and spoke,

"I agree with your statement, it has indeed caused significant problems on both sides, so how do you propose to end our 'fight'?"

The demon who spoke earlier nodded his head, his completely black eyes focusing on Alex.

"Since the battle has escalated to such a degree, it's impossible to solve it with a completely peaceful method, we demons do hold our grudge in high regard"

Saying so he paused for a second and continued,

"How about a small contest?"

"What do you have in mind?"

Alex asked,

"A Normadic hunt"

"Oh?"

"!!"

Everyone who heard it recoiled back for a moment, a Normadic hunt or more popularly known as the hunt of death is a challenge invented by the demons, it's their favorite game, the game is simple, two competitors would be thrown into a world, they would be given a basic idea of where the other was and all they had to do was to hunt the other.

But the difference here is that the place they would be sent to would be in extreme condition, where even surviving would be difficult, yes in this game strength matters but more than that you should know how to survive, here the strength is just one factor, one mistake then the environment you are in will kill you.

It's a very bloodthirsty sport of the demons which they enjoy with all their heart,

'They want to make a memorable win'

Seeing the expression of the demons I knew that in this they would have a certain advantage, they were blatantly using strength, and how? turning my eyes to the smiling Angelina I spoke,

"You are not here to just be a negotiator, are you?"

"Nope"

She replied with a breathtaking smile, that chilled ones to their spine, I smiled as I leaned onto my chair making my posture more relaxing as I replied,

"So let me guess, if I reject this you will join hands with Ron and take the entire demons to pressure us to be destroyed?"

"Yes"

Again she answered, a cheeky smile taking her face, I was unmoved, instead, I chuckled as I looked at both Ron and Angelina,

"Truly demons are indeed sly and dangerous"

"Why thank you"

Angelina said as she smiled but it was then that she noticed an anomaly, something that she unconsciously had not paid attention to, it was just the simple fact that Ron was....silent.

Everyone who knew Ron should be able to tell that his pride was something engraved into his bones and he would never let anyone take the lead from him but now he sat there on the chair silent as if he had lost his ability to speak, everyone eyes turned towards Ron who sat there in the chair in silence, his face eerily calm,

"Prince Ron, do you have something to say?"

Angelina asked with a frown on her face, meanwhile, I just sat there on my chair relaxing as I gazed at Ron who was now looking at me, I could see it in his eyes a struggle taking place, something was compelling him to think harder at his choice and I knew the reason.

You see the good thing about having an organization that rules the entire underground of the world is that no secrets can be hidden from me, even the person who seems the holiest will have one secret that he or she is hiding, one thing they did that the person would never want the world wanting to know.

Now, what would happen If a person that has control over two powerful churches while having the greatest powerful connection he could use? well, the answer is simple...

The secrets of the world would be in his palm.

I myself know better than anyone how having the right information can change the tide of battle and now I hold in my hand the weakness of the prince of the demon realm, a future Emperor and ruler,

I hold in my hands the life of his two-year-old child born between him and his aunt.

Yup that's right, he's fucking his own aunt, well not like I can judge but what makes it worse is that she's married and the so-called child is said to be the child of her husband, if this news was to leak then his aunt will die no questions asked if there's one thing that demons hate the most is then it's housing a bastard, especially having another man raise their child, there is no greater humiliation than this.

The worst thing was the fact that this so-called aunt's husband isn't any normal man, he is powerful and influential in his own way, in truth this is just a bluff, it true that I am blackmailing him but never would I hurt the child, while I have grown more colder and ruthless over the time I spent in this world, I still have a code that I wouldn't break.

I won't harm children, well not directly anyway, after all, if I did release this information, that child life will change completely, it will turn into something more extreme, in any case, if Ron did refuse my demand I had no interest in publishing this information.

The thing I am 'blackmailing' with is the fact that this information 'may' go viral, if he refuses so be it I will find another way, in fact, Ron is good, no one should have ever found out about this but how can he expect that someone with my level of influence can exist? and thanks to that, I m basically a cheat in this world,

"Prince Ron?"

Angelina asked, breaking Ron out of his thoughts, his eyes turned to me, after a few seconds later he spoke,

"I and my faction are now withdrawing from this battle, we no longer wish for any more conflict"

His words rang to each and everyone surprising them to no end, while I? a subtly hidden smirk rose up,

'Got you'
