Chapter 826: Get Ou (1/2)

The Golden Pearl Plane was far more than important to the Charlotte Family. It was a mineral plane where half of the veins were directly exposed to the surface and could be considered the pillar of the Charlotte Family.

Fully occupying the plane was enough to ensure that the Family would never fall. Even during times of decline, they would only need to hold on and survive until a suitable person appeared and led the Family to rise again.

The coordinates of the Golden Pearl Plane were a classified secret of the Charlotte Family. None of the guards guarding the Golden Pearl Plane knew the coordinates. The miners and the slaves could never think of leaving that plane.

Although the Golden Pearl Plane wasn't a suitable place to live and the environment was very nasty, losing the natural resources would be enough to hobble the Charlotte Family for years.

This was why the Raging Flame Plane was so important, why their Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom yearned for that place: Not only was that plane huge, but it was also rich in natural resources and even more suitable for human lives. The value produced by that plane was worth more than what the Kingdom produced annually.

To manage to silently storm and seize the Golden Pearl Plane, the other side must have done all the necessary preparations. It simply wasn't possible that they inadvertently discovered the Golden Pearl Plane.

This meant that the coordinates of the Golden Pearl Plane had been leaked and that there was a traitor in the Charlotte Family.

After all, there were few people in the Family that knew of the coordinates.

That night, all those who knew of the coordinates were summoned back.

The Great Devil Magic Tool Incarnation was also invited to check people one by one, and as long as someone let down the Charlotte Family, they would immediately be killed by it.

Kans Charlotte was naturally one of the people summoned back. When he saw the family making such a huge fuss and heard that the Golden Pearl Plane had been thoroughly captured, Kans almost fainted.

'Damn Gaugass Battlemages! Didn't that group of barbarians say they would take it easy? Didn't they say they would find some remote area to extract ore?

'And how could the Golden Pearl Plane be seized in one day with all of our guards killed?

'Over… It's over…'

When he heard a scream coming from the Ancestral Land in front of him, Kans Charlotte's face turned pale. He would definitely die if he entered.

Kans immediately made the decision to confess.

He quietly looked for his father and fell to his knees in front of him.

”Father, I was the one that leaked the coordinates of the Golden Pearl Plane…”

When he heard this, Novi Charlotte slapped Kans and sent him flying.

”Go on, tell me how that came about.”

After being slapped, Kans felt his heart tighten. He then pounced on Novi's feet and held his legs, weeping endlessly as he told everything.

”Father, you don't know, but that Mafa Merlin was too heavy-handed, I had no other recourse, so I hired Gaugass Battlemages to deal with him...

”I originally wanted to let the Gaugass Battlemages kill Mafa Merlin, and we would have made proper preparations, so the coordinates would have been no use to them, but I didn't expect that group of barbarians to actually act like this.”

By the time Kans was done talking, Novi's expression had already turned dark. He glared at Kans with a face full of anger, as well as helplessness.

”You fool, you actually made a deal with the Gaugass Battlemages, and used the coordinates of the Golden Pearl Plane as the fee? Is your brain rotten?

”Hell, is that group of stupid, greedy, and powerful Battlemages easy to deal with? Do you think they are that easy to double-cross?

”You held a piece of fat in front of their mouths, how could they not gulp it down first? Damnit, don't you know how powerful those barbarians are? You think we still have the chance to take back the Golden Pearl Plane after it was snatched by them?

”Idiot! Fool! When they were at their peak, the entire Kingdom couldn't stop them! Even if they have declined, the Charlotte Family can't meet them head-on. Do you think we can talk about justifications with those barbarians?”

Novi sat in his chair, feeling discouraged. They could only use force if they wanted to take back the Golden Pearl Plane, but the Planar Coordinates had already been leaked, so retrieving it had no real meaning. That group of barbarians could just keep disturbing them. Even if they managed to get it back, it would be meaningless.

Novi thought about it from different angles, but there was only defeat. He felt like strangling his son when he saw his face.
