The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order-Chapter 189 Enemies in all fronts

"That is true!?" A voice came from a corner of the room, and people turned only to see the badly wounded Jortar with an expression of utter shock and defeat on his face.

Cain had wounded him severely, but since none of the attacks generated brain trauma, Jortar was able to regain consciousness after a couple of hours.

Jortar felt no gratitude at all toward Cain for this one not aiming at vital organs and wanted nothing more than to pay back the humiliation. He knew that defeating Cain in a direct battle would be pointless and was preparing to use the power of his family, but now that was not possible.

The Hammer Family was a Noble Family with a Marquess as its founder, and Wave Kings were among its members. Just one Wave King was enough for a Noble Family to stand among the highest ranks of the empire, but how could Jortar not know about the Valentine Family?

That Valentine Family only had one member, but it was one of the Nine Pillars of the Collapsing Lightning Sector. Every family with some power in the Sector knew that Zarak Valentine was capable of crushing Wave Kings with nothing more than his pure willpower!

Offending a monster like that was something Jortar knew his family would never do. If things were to escalate and he offended Zarak, no one could save him.

Dominic saw the awe in the eyes of Jortar and the others. Although he was not happy, he understood it. After all, going from an orphan with zero talent to the greatest genius of the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy and the Young Lord of the Valentine Family in less than a year was beyond amazing.

After a moment, Dominic's eyes returned to Cinthy, and a scheming light appeared in his eyes.

"Young Lady, do you think you could reignite Cain's feelings for you under the proper circumstances? I will do all in my power to help you with that if you think you're up to the task."

Cinthy was surprised by that proposition, as were the other people in the room. After a moment, an arrogant expression appeared on her face, and she began to smile.

If she could charm Cain, she could become the Young Lady of a powerful Noble Family as strong as Dominic's. It would not be hard since, in her mind, Cain was surely still in love with her.

"With Lord Dominic's help, I am sure Cain will fall under my charm. I dare to say that he has not forgotten about me."

Cinthy's arrogance surprised the people in the room, and they could not help but think the woman was delusional. She really thought highly of herself, yet she was nothing but average.

"I am glad you are so confident in your abilities. Go to my residence and wait for me there. We will speak of our next movements in private."

Dominic spoke with a charming smile, and Cinthy did not hesitate before nodding. She did not show any reluctance to be alone with Dominic; even if something were to happen, it was not like it would be the first time.

One of the men behind Dominic walked toward Cinthy and guided her out of the center of command.

After Cinthy was gone, Dominic turned toward Jonathan with a cold expression.

"You are useless to me since I doubt Cain Laurifer even remembers you. If you utter a word of what you saw here, you will be charged with treason and die.

Return to your post."

Jonathan's eyes showed the disbelief in which he found himself. Once again, the woman he once thought was his property rose above him, and he stood there like a clown.

There was no will in Jonathan's eyes as he walked away from the room like a zombie and returned to his residence in the Grass Class section. None of the presents cared about him, and they doubted he would survive the first month of The Hunt.

"Do you really believe that woman can charm Cain Laurifer?" Amos asked the question on everybody's mind once Jonathan left the room.

"Hahahaha, of course not." Dominic busted into laughter the moment he heard that.

"If Cain Laurifer were the kind of man that would fall for a woman like that, he would have never risen to his current position. However, that doesn't mean we can not use her to affect his mind."

A scheming light appeared in Dominic's eyes as a devious plan formed in his mind.

Back in the soldier encampment, Uriel was walking toward the center of command, and his face could not be uglier. He was not alone since four other Vice-Captains were walking alongside him, and their expression showed annoyance at the current situation.

The primary source of the anger of the five Vice-Captains was the red force that covered the soldier encampment. These five were unusual among the rest of the Vice-Captains since they all came from mighty Noble Families and had their full support behind them.

The ancestor had sent them to the military with the sole goal that they could gain merits and rise among the ranks, and each of them received a lot of wealth so they could use it to help them in their task.

Those Noble Families even asked for a lot of favors so the five would end up in the same battalion so that they could help each other in that mission.

The Imperial Military Force knew about their behavior, but as long as they respected the rules and codes of the military and did their job well enough, they turned a blind eye.

Uriel and the other four Vice-Captain knew surveillance would be a significant problem in the first part of The Hunt, so they used their own money to buy Sentry Posts just like the ones used by Dominic.

They had been ready to show their Sentry Posts right after Dominic did it, becoming the center of attention for both the student and soldier encampments, but all that planning went to waste once Cain unleashed his Ego Wave.

Uriel could do nothing after that happened. If he took out his Sentry Posts after that, he would only be making a fool of himself.

"This is the second time that brat got in my way. There will not be a third!"
