Bazdilot had originally planned to send Alcides to kill Tsubaki Kuruoka that very day.
However, devastating news like a bolt from the blue spread through his ears like Pestilence, forcing him to delay his original plan by an entire night.
The leader he had always respected most, the one who had stood like a pillar of his spirit, had actually passed away!
The leader had publicly announced that he was already 106 years old, but in truth, his actual age was far greater than the number made public.
Thus, to outsiders, dying at such an age might have seemed like a natural end to a long life, nothing unusual at all.
Yet unexpectedly, at the very same moment the leader died, more than thirty important political figures in distant America also passed away one after another.
Among them was even a strong contender who had been highly likely to become the next president of America. Such a coincidence was truly incomprehensible.
Bazdilot knew as clearly as if looking into a mirror that those who had died alongside the leader were all mere puppets controlled by that decaying faction.
Now that they had so coincidentally died together with the leader, this could not possibly have been a simple case of natural death. There had to be a shocking conspiracy behind it—the leader had been murdered!
It took Bazdilot an entire day to finally suppress the surging fury and unease within him.
He became that cold-blooded, highly capable Caster once more.
He secretly swore that everyone who might have been involved in this case would pay a grievous price, atoning for their sins with blood and life.
As for who exactly the true culprit was, he had no time to care, nor did he wish to waste more effort pursuing the matter
