My Magical System

His plan is so perfect that it will surely bring their family to the top of success. However, everything suddenly collapsed due to the fire that engulfed his dream.

While the fire that ate his supplies was slowly calming down, his eyes were burning with anger at this time.

Intense energy exploded from his son Ru-Han’s body. Along with some subordinates, Ru-Han searches for the trace of the person who dared to do this to their family.

However, after several hours of searching, they found no trace.

Pang!

Zu-Han slapped the table into pieces when both of them came back to his chamber.

“This is so infuriating! They not only burned away my precious supplies! They also stole our important documents!”

Exactly as Zu-Han said, when they came back to his chamber, he couldn’t find his important documents anymore. Those documents contain the hidden secrets of their family.

.....

The perpetrators infiltrated right after Zu-Han and Ru-Han came out of the chamber that night.

“Damn it, they did this while most of our elite men were out,” Ru-Han gritted his teeth. They were fooled.

In the morning, all the leaders of the Goldenlotus family had gathered inside Zu-Han’s chamber.

There were dark circles under Zu-Han’s eyes.

“Surely you know what happened. Someone broke into our turf and burned all the supplies we had worked so hard to collect.” Zu-Han’s icy cold eyes swept across the people in front of him.

There were a total of 10 people in front of him. All of them were from different branches of the family.

“Family Head, how did that happen?” One of them asked. “I’m sure our men weren’t idiots to let some intruders in without notifying anyone of their presence.”

“That’s what I told you, fool!” Zu-Han glared.

“So, you mean… there must be a traitor in the family?” Someone asked.

“What?!” Another person exclaimed and another one hollered. “Watch out your mouth, idiot!”

Looking at his people, pointing at one another, the frown on Zu-Han’s face looked more intense.

“Shut up!”

Pang!

He once again slapped the remains of the table. That action of Zu-Han caught everyone’s attention.

“As of now, we don’t know who was behind this incident…” he paused and rolled his eyes at everyone, “…have any of you noticed someone shady around the villa these past days?!”

Everyone fell silent. None of them could answer that of course. The Goldenlotus villa wasn’t a small shelter after all. It was hard to figure out which among the many visitors was shady.

One of them raised his voice. “Don’t worry, Family Head, I will appeal to the guards about it!” Said a middle-aged man with long braided platinum golden hair.

“Alright, Madison. Just make it quick. We can’t let the perpetrators escape!”

The person named Madison quickly rushed outside to execute his task. However, before Madison could come out of the Head Family’s chamber, a family knight came in.

“Family Head! Family Head! Carriages of supplies were found in the backyard!”

Everyone’s heads reflexively turned toward him. When they heard what he said, everyone widened their eyes.

What?! Zu-Han exclaimed in silence.

Eh? The knight gawked when he noticed that all of the family leaders were inside.

At that moment, all the heads silently returned toward Zu-Han.

“Family Head, what’s the meaning of this?”

“Wait, could it be the Family Head purposely did the burning of supplies so that aside from the main family, all the other families remained powerless…”

Hearing those mutters, “You lots are insolent! Knight, are you sure about this?!” Zu-Han remained unperturbed. He knew that something or someone was trying to frame him up.

Could be a rival family? Or someone in the Goldenlotus family did it to overthrow him?

To see if the knight was telling the truth, all of them rushed towards the backyard. When they arrived there, they saw three big carriages full of supplies. After they checked it, there was no mistake. They were the supplies they stored in the storeroom.

Good thing that all the supplies were there.

Zu-Han breathed a sigh of relief. Now. Only the documents were their problem. But, Zu-Han could not tell his people about it as they were secret documents that most of their family members had no clue about.

Inside a tavern, in the neighboring town of Goldenlotus Villa, Reppo Callidu was having an extravagant breakfast. Although in front of him were extravagant foods, his full attention was not on them.

“Are you sure that was it, Mister Two?” Two is Dos’ name when they were on a mission.

Regardless, it was Reppo who asked the question. The handsome man in front of him smiled faintly.

“We can only do as we are told, then wait for the result.”

Mister Two just said that and then munch the food in front of him. “Uhmm~ delish~!” He said like a child who was infatuated with food. His face swelled because of the food inside his mouth.

Reppo still could not fathom why their big boss just asked them to burn away the storeroom and did not even take a single piece of supply. They even returned them as if nothing happened. They just dislocated them.

He even wondered why they should execute their mission in this time only? The timing seems off to be honest. They had been here for almost two months already, but their mission was just that.

“So… our mission ended just like that?” He asked Mister Two who was enjoying his food.

Hearing that, Dos wiped his mouth first before he looked at Reppo again. “That was only the first phase. The second phase will depend on the result of it. So, for now, we’re on standby.”

Reppo grinned. He was excited about what kind of effect their insignificant action last night would cause on that powerhouse family.

For Reppo, stealing all the supplies would surely cause greater damage to that family, especially after they learned of the reason why that family was storing such a large number of medical and food supplies.

If the big boss steals those supplies and sells them later for his own gain, then that would be more beneficial to the big boss and at the same time cause great damage to the enemy family.

But the big boss didn’t do that. Well. Anyway, they succeeded in stealing the documents he needed, so maybe that was the big boss’ true intention in this mission.

However, the name of the mission still bothered him.

The Seed Of Doubt. The big boss called this mission that.
