Chapter 593: 559, A scene comparable to an Evil God gathering.
Among all those present, the calmest and most naive was Miss Silvie Martin.
Former fiancée of Charles Meklen.
She was now a detective assistant, following a mentor, having been in charge of a few cases, though she was far from even minor fame, merely accumulating experience within the industry.
As the only woman who knew all of Charles’s secrets, she remained composed.
Silvie whispered to Vini Yarseno, “It seems we should make our exit early.”
The young cat detective nodded slightly; she had once held Charles in high regard, yet she did not expect to be so mistaken in her judgment.

Charles Meklen was not very promising!
He was…
worth betting one’s entire fortune on.
Vini Yarseno glanced at the girl named Anne Brittany, dimly recalling how Silvie had worried several times that this pure and kind Miss might be deceived by Charles, even bothering her with it, but due to their kinship, she didn’t have the heart to reveal Charles’s true face.
Clearly, Miss Anne was the one who gambled everything and won against everyone’s bets, laughing last as the biggest winner.
Even compared to the bets placed on Charles, the lady’s so-called best reincarnation technique on the Old Continent was nothing.
Anne Brittany!
Her name would be written in history, more remembered than her father, an Emperor, and would surpass her brother, the future Emperor Fars.
Her exploits would become a part of the culture of Fars, of the Old Continent, and of the whole world, perpetually passed down.
Her beauty couldn’t compare to Menilman, The Empire’s First Rose, nor to Sophia Garanord, the Strasbourg Rose, and even Vini Yarseno felt, in terms of sheer appearance, she wouldn’t necessarily lose, but everyone knew that when Miss Anne entered the room, she was the center of the world, dimming everyone else’s brilliance.
Beauty was insignificant.
It was fortune that glittered brightly!
Vini Yarseno nodded, and together with Silvie, bid farewell to Charles!
Charles, smiling broadly and with graceful manners, saw off the two ladies, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he didn’t glance at Silvie, but she knew, Charles was reminding her, I’ve given you such a big favor, you mustn’t spill my secrets.
After Silvie and Vini left the conference room, Silvie shrugged her shoulders and said, “My cousin, every time I see him, I feel like he’s a stranger.”
“Yes,” Vini replied softly.
“He’s hardly human!”
“How could an ordinary human do those things?”
Miss Silvie was full of confidence, although Charles had become too successful, she had never regretted breaking off their engagement.
Charles wasn’t like this back then, and the Charles now…
wasn’t the Charles of those days.
She even had a feeling, if she hadn’t broken off the engagement, the man marrying her would only have been a terrible version of Charles, certainly not the man he is now.
“What isn’t mine will never be mine!
If life has a script, then the author penning it never intended for me to play the leading lady from the start.
I am Silvie Martin, a future successful detective, with my own life ahead of me.”
Taoles was just about to take her leave when Belisa nervously followed her and whispered, “I feel so tense.
Why is there such a sense of oppression?
Is it because the True God has descended?”
“How solemn it feels!”
Taoles raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when she heard a cool voice say, “Cousin Taoles, I believe we’ve never met before.
It’s rare to encounter someone from back home in a foreign land, why don’t we take a stroll around Mecklenburg together?”
Taoles did know that this Miss Aurora indeed carried the Sumei surname, a branch of the Sumei Family in Inglima, which, before Menilman’s rise, had far outshone the branch in Fars.
She broke into a smile and said, “Certainly, Cousin Aurora.”
Anatasiya also chimed in, “If you’re going shopping, count me in.”
The four ladies bid farewell to Charles and left the large conference room, but the atmosphere inside did not ease in the slightest.
Dobin and Yellow Bear, two old subordinates, quietly withdrew, not daring to say goodbye to Charles.
They understood each other well, knowing that farewells were a courtesy for the ladies, and that the best thing they could do as rough old men was not to add to their superior’s troubles.
With these two most senior officers leading by example, Vigo also quietly exited.
Andreas lifted an eyebrow but wisely chose to leave.
Following that, Charles’s Sacred level subordinates slipped away one after another, as silently as a chain of carps.
Romios was in a particularly awkward position.
He wanted to express his gratitude, but as a Peak Holy Order with high spirituality, he could read the “secrets” written in the air.
After some hesitation, he exchanged glances with the New World Conference attendees, and led them out one by one.
Having left the large conference room, Idhela couldn’t help but say, “We volunteered to help fight against the Evil God, and we’re leaving as quietly as his subordinates.
At this rate, the New World Conference will soon become a mere extension of the Mekren Family.”
Red Hawk blurted out, “Actually, Charles is pretty good to his subordinates.”
The people of the New World Conference turned to look at her, making the pirate miss feel a bit embarrassed.
She had already pledged allegiance to Charles, but hadn’t reacted in time to leave with Charles’s subordinates, so she had no choice but to leave with the New World Conference people.
However, being the only one of Charles’s subordinates there, it was a bit sensitive for her to make that comment.
Romios let out a sigh and said, “We still have a chance!”
“Three countries occupied by the Evil God!
We all know the people of those countries are beyond saving.
Once the Evil God is expelled, those lands will be empty.
If we take them over, we can establish our own states for the New Worlders.”
“Isn’t the land of these three countries exactly why we’re willing to assist Charles Meklen?”
“His Duchy of Mecklen doesn’t border these three countries at all; there’s no chance he could annex them.
This is our last opportunity.”
All members of the New World Conference agreed profoundly.
This was also the result of their discussions several times over: to help Charles while also vying for the lands of the three countries.
Red Hawk couldn’t help but interject, “We also lack a population, I fear we won’t be able to rally people to relocate.”
Then she realized she had misspoken and corrected herself, “The population drain from the New World Conference’s free zone is already severe.
We don’t have enough to move to new nations unless more people from the New World come over.”
Her words silenced Romios, Idhela, and the others…
At this moment, Charles did not feel the atmosphere had lightened at all!
He silently prayed several times, but the Serpent of Destiny refused to offer credit on this matter…
He truly had to face this situation akin to a gathering of the Evil God head-on.
