Toxic Empress

Slavery Master

Everyone except the members of the higanbana assassins were stunned by Xena's self-introduction as the leader of the revolutionary forces. As you can see, Xena is too young to lead a rebel group filled with hundreds of people in it. If thought logically, it is impossible for Xena to carry out this global act of rebellion. However, Xena's strength far exceeded the limits of ordinary humans, her subordinates also acknowledged that.

“You must be surprised because it turns out the revolutionary forces are led by a 20-year-old girl. But, this is the fact, I gave you the order by letter all this time, I gave a solution related to the problem that hindered the move. So, stop making that kind of expression and try to trust me,”.

Eventually they began to believe that hearing Xena's words was not like a 20-year-old girl. Although half of them were more flabbergasted by Xena's beauty, but they put those thoughts aside for a moment and returned to the main topic.

“Nona, the purpose of our meeting this time is to discuss about the mastermind behind this slavery system happening. Based on the letter we received, you already know who the mastermind is, can you tell us now? Who created the system of slavery in this world?” ask one of the rebel representatives from the Lu Empire.

Xena asked Laiv to hand over some documents to all meeting participants, documents that had been carefully prepared by Xena. The documents he shared are thin, but have included all the accurate information he has collected in recent times. As everyone read the contents of the document, various facial features were etched in the lines of their faces.

“As you can see now, the mastermind who created this system of slavery is the Barbarian King. The king was notoriously ruthless, thirsting for power, as well as he had subordinates who had above average combat power. Based on the results of the investigation, a part of the empire in the world has been dropped by him, but his existence disappeared in the last ten years,” explained Xena.

“Don't this mean our enemy isn't a simple and easy person to defeat? What's your next plan, Miss? Although his whereabouts are unknown, but that does not mean he did not show any movement. Lately more and more slaves are disappearing suddenly for no apparent reason. Most of the slaves who disappeared had magic in their bodies,” said a meeting participant.

Xena was aghast in shock, she had just gotten this report now, not even she had heard the rumors about the disappearance of the slaves. Xena directed her glance at Laiv and the members of the higanbana assassin, but their response shook her head.

“Disappeared? Did this happen in your empire? As long as I was in Charise I had never heard of the rumors of the disappearance of the slaves,” Xena said staring nanar.

“True, Miss. In our empire these days the number of slaves that disappeared has increased dramatically. Perhaps this news does not reach your ears because the existence of the slaves is considered unimportant, and again our empire lies very far from Charise.”

Xena immersed herself for a moment in her daydream, thinking about the magical creature that last appeared in Charise Empire. Xena had felt strange by the power released by these magical creatures. It seems that now Xena is starting to find a little clue about the magical creature.

“A few days ago in Charise appeared a swarm of magical creatures, the power flowing profusely in their bodies felt not foreign at all. The power was as if it came from magic buried within a human being. At first this was just my hunch, but after hearing reports of the disappearance of the slaves, it meant that they used magic in the body of the slaves to create the magical creature,” Xena explained.

Once again the entire room was shocked, the meeting room air became stiffened due to Xena's exposure to the magical creature. They knew that if one were to use slaves as materials to create magical creatures, it meant that the level of slavery in this world was heading towards the greatest destruction.

“Magic creatures? Is it possible for them to absorb magic from the slave body and transfer their magic to the lifeless creature?”

One by one they began to sound out their respective opinions, the stiffening air had become slackened and more relaxed.

“The Barbarian King is not easy to topple, if we do not have a mature plan then of course we will be destroyed in his hands. Although I have never seen it directly, but from the stories of the people, we become aware that the destructive power is not a mere mess.”

“I don't think we're a balanced opponent for the Barbarian King. Since its power has been revered by many, the system of slavery was created 21 years ago, if we want to free the world from slavery, then we must destroy its roots first

“Everything they say is true, Miss. Our opponents have greater power, if only just overthrow the empire they can be relied upon, but our opponents are the most feared Kings in this world,” Laiv said.

If Laiv had said so, then Xena was obliged to be careful in taking a step forward. If he takes a wrong step, then what is sacrificed is not the life of one person, but all people who are in this world.

“You don't have to worry about that.”

Two men suddenly entered their conversation, the two men looked no stranger at all. Upon reaching the illumination, their bodies were clearly visible, and they were Xander who had come with Xavier. All eyes were focused on their arrival, especially Xena, she was shocked not to play because she never leaked the location of her headquarters to Xander or Xavier.

“Why do you know this place? And again—”

“That's not important right now, actually I know everything about you, Xena. I'm here to tell you a few things about your enemy in the future, there's no point in me hiding this from you,” Xander said cutting Xena's sentence.

“What do you want to say?” ask Xena.

It seems that everyone is still confused about the identity of Xander and Xavier, except for some of Xena's subordinates, they have known Xander, but they do not know Xavier because they first saw him.

“Ahh, before that I will introduce myself, I am Xander Geraldo and the one beside me is named Xavier. I'm sorry to interrupt your serious time, but I'm here to explain a few things,” Xander said.

Hearing Xander's name alone they could immediately recognize him, Xander was known as a noble who had abundant power. Xander did not hesitate to eliminate his enemy in just one attack, everyone knew him as such.
