"Unique Talent," an ability that only a select few creatures can awaken.

Characterized by innate awakening, its abilities diverse and varied, some strong, some weak, and cannot be learned by others.

"I call my Unique Talent ’Decree’. When I activate my ability, the world changes at the sound of my words."

Golka’s tone was filled with pride as he spoke, yet those around could only see his lips move without hearing a sound.

His whispered "Shut up" had become a sound-erasing command under the effect of his Decree.

"In the Light Eagle Group, leaders often possess Unique Talents, which are our distinctive features,"

Golka lifted his head high, continuing his monologue that was meant for himself alone.

To outsiders, he appeared as a proud and mighty figure, commanding awe with the mere demonstration of a fraction of his power.

However...

"It’s a good thing you can’t hear me now, otherwise..."

He coughed, muttering to himself, "You would perceive my current weakness; damn it, controlling so many people almost made me pass out. I’m never doing this again,"

He hastily waved his hand to cancel the effect of Decree, although in reality, it had only lasted for less than three seconds.

Yet, the people present had no insight into his true thoughts, treating him as a Gold Level master.

Even after the Decree was lifted, silence reigned in the area for a moment.

Truly a member of the Light Eagle Group, their power is undeniable! That was the collective thought.

The chief of the guards was stunned by this seemingly magical technique and praised the lord for his might.

Without speaking, Golka just nodded, then fixated a piercing gaze on the chief of the guards, making the man continuously bow and tremble.

Why is Lord Golka staring at me? Did I forget to do something? The chief began to doubt himself, and after a minute, he suddenly realized.

"That’s right, I must report to Lord Philip!"

He called over a swift-footed guard, gave a few instructions, and sent him running to the Lord Mansion.

In fact, the whole city was already aware of the situation, and Count Philip probably knew as well, but making this run would surely show that he, as a chief, was dutiful.

The chief gave Golka a thumbs-up, thinking the noble was truly careful and considerate for subtly reminding him with his look.

Golka simply nodded silently, maintaining an aura of aloofness.

Every time he released Decree, he would enter a period of weakness, and his shaky voice would reveal his poor condition, damaging his image.

So, he devised a method: to stare intently at others, letting them guess what they should do next.

It turned out to be quite an effective strategy.

Bed City, the Lord Mansion.

The guard who had come to report left the room, trembling, because Count Philip was very displeased and appeared quite intimidating.

"Why has this unexpected change occurred at such a critical moment?"

The once shrewd businessman and noble slammed his desk hard, causing several cracks to form on the thick wooden surface.

Count Philip had sunken eye sockets, eyes full of blood vessels, and his hair was disheveled, resembling a wild beast out to prey.

Furthermore, his body was even more gaunt, his knuckles protruded, akin to the claws of a demon.

A noble wouldn’t become thin unless ill.

It’s no wonder everyone found Count Philip frightening; nowadays, with his current appearance, walking on the street would cry countless children.

His secretary remembered that ever since the Earl returned from the Royal City, he has looked like this, utterly unfamiliar to all.

He was perfectly well before meeting His Majesty the King...

"It’s as if this was all aimed at me!"

Count Philip, in a fit of rage, swept everything off the desk onto the floor, thereby unlocking the ’Desk Cleaning Master’ achievement.

Hundreds of workers died in batches, and not a single ore was brought back. This tragic situation could no longer be described as a total loss; it needed a more severe adjective.

Just one day without income was nothing for the Bed Family, but what worried him was the emergence of a new Monster, which was said to include a Flying Dragon capable of causing explosions!

If it were really a dragon, he could forget about mining there ever again!

"Just at this time, just at this time..."

He irritably grabbed his hair, actually pulling out a big clump; blood clung to the tips of the strands, which was somewhat frightening.

"What is Lord Philip in such a rush about?" Another person in the room spoke, "Is it the worry of failing to fulfill the promise to King?"

This person was also clad in the Armor of the Light Eagle Group’s leader, slightly shorter than Golka and looked younger, but his face revealed a cunning air.

"What else could I be worried about besides that?" Count Philip said: "I’ve promised His Majesty to provide a doubled supply of concentrated Blood Healing Potions, but without mining more ore..."

"Come on, the Blood Essence reserves in your storeroom have long been sufficient, with a good surplus to boot,"

The leader of the Light Eagle Group "heh"ed with the air of seeing through everything, "You’re just exploiting His Majesty’s Decree to profit. His Majesty temporarily granted you the Sain Dungeon for business, yet you claim to the outside world that Sain has become your permanent private property. Tsk tsk,"

Count Philip showed a displeased expression. "What’s it to you? When the time comes, I will naturally return the Dungeon,"

Really, this person did not know how to speak; even if everyone was well aware, some things should not be openly discussed! The Earl clenched his fists.

Had he known, he would not have invited the Light Eagle Group to maintain the situation. The two leaders who came were both annoying individuals.

The Light Eagle Group was divided into three Levels: mercenary, leader, and group leader. This time, able to invite two leaders and their squads, he had relied on the King’s blessing.

"I’m not accusing you; whether you make or lose money is none of my concern; I’m only responsible for bringing back enough Potion," the leader shrugged. "I’m just advising you; it’s not too late to let go now. Post notices, apologize to the adventurers, restore the former order..."

"Enough, don’t say anymore!"

"I advise you not to indulge in your desires like the King, or you’ll end up like him, becoming a wild..."

The leader suddenly smiled without finishing his sentence, leaving the most thought-provoking part unsaid.

He left the room, seemingly to give the Earl some space to think.

This person appeared to know some hidden details about the King’s strange illness, but what did that have to do with Count Philip?

Could it be that the Earl was also infected?

Perhaps awakened, the ferocity in Count Philip’s eyes subsided slightly, and reason gradually took the upper hand as he began to ponder whether what he had been doing was indeed correct.

It seemed... he had indeed made a grave mistake.

Something was amiss.

His memories of the past few days replayed in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the stranger they seemed.

The recent series of events did not resemble his actions—it was outrageously wrong. What kind of business was run like this!

What had influenced him?

His eyes grew more rational, his gaze clearing up.

"Knock knock—"

The door was knocked. An Attendant ran in flustered, holding up a purple-red crystal and exclaimed:

"Count Lord, adventurers claimed they found a deposit of Purple Blood Crystal! A large amount of Purple Blood Crystal!"

Count Philip’s eyes were once again consumed by madness.

"Where!"

At the same time.

"Achoo!" Roger in the Resurrection House suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, why do I feel like someone has snatched away a financial opportunity from me,"

He suddenly remembered, he hadn’t yet sold the information regarding the Purple Blood Crystal to Count Philip.

"Forget it, there’s no rush," he continued, hoisting a corpse and muttering to himself:

"After all, only I know the exact location of the Purple Blood Crystal’s deposit."
