Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character!

195  At the administrative center of the clan!

Chapter 195

It was also the place where the exorcists of the clan would be assigned missions and special requests.

One might question why the exorcists were required to carry out missions as part of the clan.

But then again, money is a huge factor involved, though that's not all. Duty and discipline were equally significant, binding each exorcist to their responsibilities.

These missions were all related to the state of the human world, all aimed at maintaining human lands. These missions were less of an order and more collections of requests made specifically to the Mystic Purge Clan exorcists.

The mission or request—each exorcist had their own term for referring to it—could range from anything to anything.

Be it violent demon clashes at the border, attacks by heretics, or finding something like an artifact or a treasure.

All of them were requested from the powerful exorcists of the Mystic Purge Clan.

It was evident from the numerous requests piling up that the clan had to filter through, showing how much people valued and trusted the skills of the Mystic Purge Clan. Each request was a silent show to the clan's ironclad reputation and the desperate hope of those who sought their aid.

Just the name of the clan alone could strike fear into the hearts of demons. Whispers of their name traveled far and wide, carried on the wind like a warning.

The cruel, strict, and disciplined clan had been an ancient guardian of humanity, protecting it from the demons on the other side of the world.

Their vigilance was unyielding, their presence a deterrent to the darkness that lurked beyond human borders. It did provide those living behind a warm sense of comfort.

The clan was associated with power and a very high rate of perfectly completed tasks.

Their success was not merely a record; it was a legacy, carved into the annals of history with blood and steel.

So it was no shock that there were so many requests.

Oliver was there to find a particular elder who would be assigning him a mission, as per the details he had, but now, looking at the noisy surroundings, he felt he would need to ask someone to help him find that elder.

Of course, he was currently covering his hair and a major portion of his face with the cloak of darkness. Other than making his presence vanish, it also had the normal function of dimming his presence in such gatherings.

The cloak's fabric seemed to absorb light, rendering him a mere shadow among the bustling crowd.

If he dared to brazenly show his face around this area, he could imagine the chaos it would cause, considering how a main heir had personally visited the administrative branch without any escorts.

It would be like a stone dropped into still water, creating ripples of shock and speculation.

He had left without informing Sesha. He did so to avoid her accompanying him. Now that she was his personal maid, it was not strange that she would insist on such matters.

Normally, every heir had their own escort, whose duty was to maintain the heir's safety and fulfill their needs in daily life.

However, Oliver did not trust that maid of his one bit and thus would never accept her as his escort.

The thought of relying on someone who had ulterior motives was repugnant to him.

Choosing an escort was an important matter considering they would be sharing a lifetime with you. It becomes even more necessary for them to be trustworthy. There was no way he would be willing to accept Sesha, a spy, as his escort.

That would be too ridiculous, after all. Well, he had a lot of time to decide on an escort for future events.

The idea weighed on him, but he pushed it aside, focusing on the task at hand.

As he was contemplating and observing his surroundings, he noticed a small commotion taking place at the entrance from where he had come.

He briskly walked towards the area and saw a group of exorcists dressed in pitch-black uniforms bearing the symbol of the Mystic Purge Clan.

They were official exorcists of the clan, and at the moment, they were in a group of five, heading towards the counter where an elder was scrambling with missions and papers.

He heard whispers around the crowd about the group of five.

He focused on the whispers and gradually understood what the commotion was about.

Apparently, the group before them was a famous exorcist team consisting of powerful exorcists.

Not only did they hold an extremely potent reputation, but they also induced fear and awe in the crowds wherever they went. Their very presence seemed to cast an invisible force, as if they carried with them the weight of countless battles.

The commotion was about the recent deed they had accomplished.

"Did you know? It's a hot piece of news. After the insolent act of targeting the major clans' heirs, the Unholy Sun Sect was hunted madly by the forces of the five clans, and from our clan, their group contributed the most. I heard they managed to take down five of the Unholy Sun Sect's saints on their own."

"Serves them right; they had it coming. To be so daring as to challenge the great clans? They were simply seeking death." The speaker's voice was tinged with satisfaction, as if justice had been served.

"Humph. I heard that a majority of their bases have also been taken down, and all the heretics were brutally exorcised."

"Well, yes. They would not be offered a chance for redemption after performing such a stunt. The clans will definitely be rewarding the participants of the hunt with great rewards."

"Ah, I was so busy that I could not take part in it. I am envious…"

Oliver heard and sorted the murmurs calmly. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

So, the Unholy Sun Sect had already been destroyed to such a degree in such a short amount of time?

The efficiency and ruthlessness of the clans were impressive, if not unsettling.

He expected nothing less of the influence of the clans. No matter how deeply these heretics were hiding, the forces of the clans still managed to sniff them out easily.

Not to mention, the clans were using the Unholy Sun Sect to set an example for other active heretics, warning them not to dare to look at the heirs of their clan ever again in the future.
