Chapter 60 60: Trojan Order [2]
A lopsided grin appeared on Lenny's lips, "So quick?" He chuckled softly, he knew it was coming.
He expected it, but he had no idea it would come this fast.
Corinthian shrugged, "Well despite their public unity, the Great Houses thrive in competition"
"Always trying to trample against each other, they are relentless and chaotic" Corinthian stated.
"We are not different from them" Lenny sighed deeply, Corinthian didn't retort for Lenny spoke the truth.
The Patriarch of the Great House Night, their father always taught them to hate themselves.
To stand above themselves, those whose strength surpassed the rest would sit by his side.
The competition was clear.
The Great House Night were never united, but none dared to rebel against their noble house.
No one was willing to go against the Patriarch.
A Rank 9 Fallen Regulator.

Lenny lingered for a second before speaking, "Have you confirmed the target?" He asked.
Corinthian shook his head, "Nah, not at all….I only eavesdropped, they haven't finalized their plot yet"
"But it's been confirmed" Corinthian explained.
Lenny nods, "I guess I should secretly leak this information to the Great House Ares, to boost their enemity" He grinned.
"What would you gain from this chaos?" Corinthian asked.
Lenny shrugged, "don't know, all I just want to have is fun" He chuckled softly.
"I want the Great Houses distracted so I would be able to grow stronger without interference"
"And before I forget, I'll be contacting the Trojan Order"

Few days later
***
The located east of the Fallen Realm, a Sanctuary the size of a state was seen, surrounded by hundreds of unexplored and explored regions.
This was a certified A-class Sanctuary.
One owned by one of the most secretive and powerful secret order.
The Trojan Order.
The A-class Sanctuary was occupied with hundreds of Fallen Regulators, all his their faces under masks of different shapes and sizes.
Agents of the Trojan Order were known for their anonymity, only revealing their codenames.
Their identities remained a secret, only the elites were aware of their identities, and they were Fallen Regulators of different Fallen Paths.
Transformers, Sorcerers, Sages, Mindcrafters, Parasites, Misfits and many more.
All were recruited by the Trojan Order.
A tower was spotted at the center of the A-class Sanctuary, the size of a mega-skyscraper on earth.
This was the control center of the Trojan Order.
***
Knock knock.
A middle-age brown haired figure was spotted in his office, his back resting on the arm chair he sat on.
His legs crossed, gently smoking his marijuana.
He puffed out smoke from his nose, the knock came in once again, He raised an eyebrow "Who's there?" He calmly asked.
"Lord Chairman, It's me….Prisca" A voice answered, this voice belonged to a female figure.
He sighed deeply, "Come in there" The door creaked open seconds later and a young lady walked in.
Her jet-black hair glistened in the air, she wore a warm smile, dressed in black gown.
She bowed "Greetings Lord Chairman, I'm here to update you on the present events" She stated.
He slowly rose from his seat, he turned to face the window, breathing in deeply "And what is it?" He asked.
His voice, calm yet etched with authority.
She cleared her throat, "Your grace, the Great Houses are currently fractured, their loyalty divided"
He slightly tilts his head, with a confounded look written on his face "What are you talking about?"
This has gotten his attention.
She smiled, "The Great House Ares and the Great House Venus are currently at odds with eachother"
"Although it doesn't have much impact yet, so it won't lead to war" She explained, "Few days ago, the Regulator's Association was attacked"
"The Great House Venus confirmed reports that tied the Great House Ares to that incident"
"There were reports of co-operation between the Great House Ares and the Den of Thieves"
"The Dark House Drakkon are yet to debunk it, neither have they confirmed anything"
"The Great House Venus lost a number of their progressive descendants and the future generation"
"Including Pedro von Venus, a noble loved and cherished by the Patriarch himself" She sighed.
"Pedro was beheaded, his head taken away….. linking this act with the barbaric sons of Ares" She added.
The man's chuckled softly, "That surely sounds like the sons of Ares, they do have a fetish for taking heads"
"Do you believe Venus would retaliate?" He asked.
She nodded, "Yes Lord Chairman" She paused, "I believe that, the Great House Venus are not weak, they won't be intimidated by the sons of Ares"
"A few sons would die soon" She stated.
He grinned, he kept his hands behind him "This is progress, I've lived a hundred years already"
"Consumed numerous mana stones, mana crystals and emerald stones, all to see this moment"
"The Great Houses ruled the Regulator's society with iron hands, it's time for a regime change"
"Let them kill themselves, let them fall"
"The Trojan Order will be here to claim the spoils" His voice echoed through the air, Prisca felt it.
The pressure of a Rank 8 Fallen Regulator.
This man is Cisca Aurona.
A Rank 8 Fallen Regulator of the middle stage, a titled Lord who's closer to becoming a Rank 9 Fallen Regulator.
And one of the heads of the Trojan Order.
The Trojan Order runs on three ruling class, the President of the Order, the Councilor and the Chairman.
They are all Rank 8 Fallen Regulators, disciples of the one who once ruled the Great House Night.
Cisca Aurona governs the Trojan Order as the Chairman, controlling the information network.
While the Councilor governs the military council of the Trojan Order.
The President is the sole governor of the Trojan Order, the main head of the organization.
"Any news?" Cisca asked, he noticed Prisca's hesitation, this drew his curiousity.
Prisca nodded, "Lord Chairman, there's one more news, the Trojan Order was contacted through the discreet channel" She reported.
Cisca's eyebrows furrowed, "And who was that?" He questioned.
Prisca gulped, swallowing her saliva "He calls himself Lenny Night, and we have confirmed his identity"
"He is the last descendant of the Nights" She answered.
Cisca's sighed, his face brightened up "So a Night still lives huh?" He smiled warmly, "Pass me his Informations" He ordered.
Prisca obeyed, she was quick to hand over the iPad she had brought along and Cisca received it.
His lips curled faintly "A child of Shadows eh?" His eyes flickered, "What a suprise, he has the signature of the Night"
"This is a true Night" He giggled.
"But what happened to him?" He asked, facing Prisca, "Have you investigated why no news about him was revealed in the past seven years?"
Prisca nodded, "Yes Lord Chairman, before I even thought about reporting this to you"
"I conducted a thorough research, Lenny Night was found bathed in the pool of his parents blood"
"Seven years ago, he was thirteen years old then and had awakened that very night"
"Every single Night was killed except him, even that man fell…..the Government visited their castle"
"Lenny was found and taken by the Government, I believe a few of the Great Houses voted to kill Lenny Night"
"If he were a mundane human then, he would have been killed off that very moment"
"But it was confirmed, he had become a carrier of the Fallen Rune" She explained.
Cisca nodded, "I see, the Government locked him up, diagnosed him with something to prevent him from contacting the outside world right?"
"To prevent him from participating in any Awakening Ceremony until his eighteenth birthday" He sighed.
"When he was called to the Fallen Realm, conquering his First Apocalypse freed him from the shackles of the Government"
"Am I correct?" He asked, Prisca nodded with a smile "Yes my Lord, that is the simple truth"
Cisca nodded, "I know, contact Lenny Night and invite him to the Trojan Order"
"And besides what rank is the kid?" He asked.
"The Government believes he is still Rank 1 but he came clean to us, he's currently a Rank 2 Fallen Regulator" She answered.
Cisca smiled, "That's smart, he knows the truth…..he is an enemy to the Great Houses"
"They'll never let him grow, under their watchful gaze"
"That child would never become a titled Lord"
"This conflict between the Great Houses who control the Government and the Regulator's Association might even benefit him" He stated.
"Or he might even be involved in their conflict" Prisca spoke.
Cisca raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?" He asked.
Prisca breathed in deeply, "While digging deep, I learnt a few things….during the assasination of Venus nobles"
"it was reported that a child of Shadows and a thief was present in that same building"
"And yet both still lives, neither did they even attack themselves" She explained.
Cisca sighed, "Were they aware of eachother's presence?" He asked.
Prisca nodded, "Yes, they met eachother and even before the incident, there was an assasination attempt on Lenny's life"
"the Den of Thieves had even sent their powerful heiress to erase the name of the Nights and yet he still lives"
"That Lenny Night definitely isn't ordinary"
