Holy Land Mary Geoise, where the Five Elders resided.
"Is that so? I see. Understood! Thank you for your hard work!"
The Curly-Haired Five Elders put down the Den Den Mushi, and their expressions turned utterly grim.
Although Stussy had failed her mission this time, she would not be discarded. First, the mission had failed because Su Yu had learned her identity beforehand from some unknown source. Second, an emperor of the Underworld still had value to the World Government, and raising a replacement would be too much trouble.
However, the Curly-Haired Five Elders' dark expressions were not because of the failed mission. After all, from the start, they had only intended to give it a try.
The bald Elder asked, "What happened? Did she fail?"
The Curly-Haired Five Elders said, "Yes. Not only did she fail, we were even given a warning!"
The Birthmarked Five Elders said, "Oh? A warning?"
The Curly-Haired Five Elders said, "His exact words were, 'Don't provoke me, or you won't be able to bear the consequences.' Heh."
At those words, the other four Elders' expressions turned just as grim as the Curly-Haired Five Elders'.
They had held power for so many years, but this was the first time anyone had threatened them.
Their authority was inviolable. That was what they had always believed. Although they had been the ones to stir up trouble first, they clearly would not place the blame on themselves.
Moreover, judging by Su Yu's behavior, he did not seem to hold any reverence for the World Government. That was not good...
Heh. It seemed they would have to speed up the search for Pluton...
Time slipped away like a scumbag boyfriend, without the slightest consideration. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
Nothing major
