Every important member from the Williams Noble Household, including the Will Noble Household, has already meet with Barbara once. It was back at that time when they have first joined the Black organization, which was also the exact moment Barbara the Perfect Disguise was given the status of a Vice-president of Black organization.

At that time, because the Williams Noble House joining the Black organization and Barbara's recognition was given at the same time, Barbara decided that it must be Fate and hence took the Williams Noble Household under her wings, meaning they became one of her men.

When they became one of Barbara's men, she then gave the Williams Noble Household a necklace which was the necklace Paul is currently wearing right now.

"How did your Excellency, Barbara, suddenly arrived here?" Timothy quickly asked.

"Indeed! The Silver Kingdom is located at the very edge of the continent," Jacob added.

"F*ck, that's not the important problem here, stupid brothers!" Arvin roared in anger at Timothy and Jacob before quickly rushing towards Barbara to help her. "Your Excellency, Barbara, what happened to you?"

"Cough! Is this the Williams Noble Household?" Barbara coughed a mouthful of blood before standing up straight and shooting everyone a sharp glare.

Arvin who was coming to help Barbara stand up was stopped mid-motion as he can't move his body. He could only nod his head in confirmation of Barbara's question.

"Who's the leader here?" Barbara suddenly changed her question.

"I... I am..." Paul proclaims with fear evident in his voice. Although they were one of Barbara's men, in Black organization it was pretty normal to kill their own men once they are displeasing in their eyes.

"Cough! Why didn't any of you come to help us at the Southern Fortress?" Barbara asked while staring at the now trembling Paul.

"We... we..." Paul really wanted to reply, but the pressure his feeling right now was beyond what his body could handle, hence affecting his body's movement.

"Answer me!!" Barbara roared out, causing the entire palace to experience a short earthquake.

"W... we were blocked by the Blacksmoke Noble Household, and even if we can defeat them, we would still need to face either the Heart city or the Southwest Fortress. Regard... regardless of what choice we choose, we would still not b... be able to help," Paul was having a hard time replying due to nervousness and fear.

"So you meant to say is, we can't help you so it's not our problem?!" Barbara exclaimed in anger while a powerful Magic power was bursting out from her body along with very heavy pressure, causing everyone's body to lower down to the floor. Although she was seriously injured right now, a bunch of Mages in the Star level were still something she can easily handle, or more appropriately, she can easily squash them like squashing ants.

"We..." Paul wanted to explain, but the moment he opened his mouth, a more powerful pressure pressed on his body, immediately making his entire body lay down on the floor.

"Excuses, excuses, excuses," Barbara said while slowly walking towards Paul, who's looking at her fearfully. The moment she arrived in front of him, she put her hand on Paul's chin before suddenly pulling him up, "Is this the so-called loyalty that your parents have sworn to me?"

"No... no..." Paul quickly replied.

"Oh, then what is it?" Barbara asked.

"This..."

Without waiting for Paul to reply, Barbara suddenly stabbed his heart using only her hand. And what followed after was Paul's entire life force being drained by Barbara.

"Atone for your sin with your life!" Barbara said as she let go of Paul, who's eyes were begging for mercy.

Noticing that Barbara wouldn't help him, Paul turned to look at his 3 brothers. What he saw after though finally made him give up on struggling because Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob were all looking away, afraid that Barbara might do the same thing to them if they show any hint that they care about him.

In Paul's mind right now, he can't help but hope to go back in time and tell his parents not to join the Black organization. Unfortunately, time wasn't something that people like him could control, so his hope is sadly going to the grave with him.

When all of Paul's life force was completely consumed by Barbara, Paul finally died, full of regrets and desire to live.

Noticing such a strong desire to live, Barbara can't help smiling before putting her hand up in front of her as a Dark Magic circle appeared, "Night Bringer!"

Whooooosh!

Suddenly, a Fiend that looks really similar to Paul, except for its body being shrouded in shadow of darkness, slowly rises from Paul's dead body.

"My Master!" The Fiend Paul half-kneeled on the ground while bowing his head to greet Barbara, his new and forever Master.

"Stand up! Starting today, you will become one of my loyal knights." Barbara chuckled evilly before picking up the necklace from the ground that allowed her to Teleport here as he then suddenly turned to look at Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob who immediately started trembling the moment they saw her looking at them. "Who's going to be the next-in-line after this useless guy?"

Without any hesitation and consideration, Timothy and Jacob immediately pointed at Arvin.

"Him!"

"Him!"

Seeing this, Arvin could only helplessly step forward and also half-kneeled on the floor like what Fiend Paul did, "I'm the next-in-line, your Excellency, Barbara!"

"I noticed awhile ago that you were fast in your decision making and also being able to see what should be done in the given situation. So, I fully approve of you becoming the next Patriarch of the Williams Noble Household." Barbara said before handing the necklace to Arvin. "Keep this safe, this would be my gift to you, Patriarch Arvin! Always remember this, when you see that my life is at risk and would definitely die, run as far as you can because I can Teleport through this necklace, which is the greatest way to help me."

Arvin immediately nodded his head and replied, "This humble being accepts your Excellency, Barbara's gift. I will keep your words to my heart like how a person treasures someone."

"I like your way of talking! After this battle, I'll help you get an even higher grade of Dark God's Blessing." Barbara said before slowly walking towards the Patriarch Chamber along with Fiend Paul following behind her.

Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob quickly looked at each other first as they nodded their heads, seemingly like they are thinking the same thoughts before finally following after Barbara.

The moment they entered the Patriarch Chamber, they soon after saw Barbara sitting at the chair of the Patriarch. If it was someone else, they would have definitely killed that person without any questions asked. But since it was Barbara, they have no choice but to accept.

Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob could only half-kneeled on the ground, waiting for Barbara's order.

Suddenly, Barbara spoke to someone that no one was able to notice behind them, "Just like what I expected from you Ramos, you definitely wouldn't let yourself die so easily."

Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob immediately turned around as they soon after saw a figure walking out from the shadow.

"But of course, I still desire to have that Dark God's Blessing." The same Ramos that reported to Barbara the information she needed back at Southern Fortress said with a smile on his face.

"Just why exactly do you want to have the Dark God's Blessing?" Barbara asked intriguingly.

"Unfortunately, I can't answer that question for now. But soon, you will definitely see it!" Ramos replied.

"Suit yourself!" Barbara surprisingly gave up with the question.

Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob were immediately shocked by Barbara's reaction. They really want to know just who exactly is this Ramos for Barbara to treat differently.

"Anyways, I'm guessing you have some information for me?" Barbara quickly changed to the main topic.

"Yes, Vice-president, Barbara." Ramos nodded in response. "Remember the information I gave you about an Elemental appearing at the Southeast Fortress during that time of the attack?"

Hearing this, Barbara quickly sat straight as her focus turned fully towards Ramos, "Yes, I remember you told me about this. You said that some Elementals had helped the Mischievous Lion organization conquer the Southeast Fortress. What about it?"

Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob were right after stunned the moment they heard the word Elemental. As a 6 to 7 Star Mages, not to mention being the one in control of both the Williams Noble Household and Will Noble Household, they of course already been long aware of the existence of Elementals, or otherwise, commonly know as Nature's Wrath. This kind of Magical Entity is so powerful that once they appear in a Kingdom and no one can stop them, that Kingdom would definitely fall. What shocked them the most was, such kind of powerful Magical Entity is actually helping the Mischievous Lion organization?! And it's not even alone, but two or more?! If that's indeed the case, then there is no need to mention about winning, because even if they do, the Silver Kingdom wouldn't be something that can be rebuilt anymore because the destruction of just one Elemental is already far beyond what can be imagined, how much more if there is more of them.

Well, Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob were oblivious about the existence of the Red Cube, unlike Barbara and Ramos, hence it's just reasonable that they would think this way.

"I found new information about Elementals. And this time, I've found exactly what you are looking for!" Ramos smiled.
