At night, in a basement.
Su Te was admiring his masterpiece in the room.
There were 27 jars in this room.
Each jar contained a human head.
Each person's expression was exceptionally furious.
Su Te liked the sight of others raging in powerlessness; the more furious they were, the more he liked it.
Looking at his artworks, Su Te felt much more at ease.
These people had all been deceived by him, then furiously tried to attack Su Te, and were killed as a result.
Su Te was inherently evil; every time he deceived others and made fools of them, he felt a sense of physical and mental pleasure.
Su Te emerged from the basement and returned to his bedroom.
At this moment, his father, who should have been dead, appeared.
"Greetings, Lord Su Te!" the other party said, kneeling before Su Te.
"Very good, he looks just like my father!"
Su Te had disposed of his father's corpse, found a similar-looking person, and then conducted some human experiments to make this guy resemble his father.
His father was a nobleman after all; his sudden death for no reason would not be good for him.
Faking his father's continued existence was a good choice.
"I didn't really want to make a big fuss, but it seems you're forcing my hand!"
Soon after, there was a knock on the door.
"Lord, we've brought the person you requested!"
"Bring him in!"
A student from the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy walked in; he was the impoverished Son of a Baron.
His family was very poor, his territory barren, and his future could only rely on him making something of himself.
"Do you know what this is?"
Su Te held a necklace in his hand.
The necklace was handmade.
"This is my mother's necklace! What have you done to her?"
"I haven't done anything to her, but if you don't listen to me, she might die."
"What do you want me to do? I'm just an ordinary Baron; how could I help you?"
"You can help me! I just need you to frame a classmate named Sino Kageno!"
"How do you want me to do it?"
"You just need to die in front of him!"
"Your life for your mother's life!" Su Te said with a sinister smile.
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"
"Would I be afraid? What evidence do you have that I kidnapped your mother?
You won't just rely on your word, will you!
I am the Son of the Marquis, a great noble in the Royal Capital; you are a lowly Son of a Baron. Without evidence, do you think the Knights Order will believe you?"
The other party fell silent.
He clearly knew that Su Te was right.
His father had long since abandoned him and his mother, living a carefree life; he had been raised by his mother.
His mother was very important to him.
"It's a deal then. I'll die in front of Sino, and you'll release my mother!"
"Good, it's a deal!"
"The plan is as follows..."
Su Te explained his plan.
"I want to see my mother one last time!"
"Of course!"
Su Te snapped his fingers, and two people brought in a woman, restraining her.
He wanted to untie his mother, but those people stopped him.
"You can only look for now. After it's done, I will definitely release your mother! I swear on my father's name!"
The boy hesitated for a long time, then finally sighed heavily.
This world was unfair; it had been unfair since birth. He had no choice but to accept reality.
Perhaps some people would believe his words, but why would anyone help him, a fallen Son of a Baron?
He had no value; he could only be someone else's toy.
The boy left.
After seeing the other party leave, Su Te untied the woman's mouth.
"I'll tell you a secret: even if your son really does that, you will still die. I never intended to let either of you go from beginning to end. You will die, and your son will die too!"
Hearing this, the woman's veins bulged, and she cursed Su Te with the most vicious language she could think of.
Su Te held his sword, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the moment when her expression was most furious. In that instant, he killed the woman.
"This furious expression is excellent. I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise today. Then let you be my 28th collection! This is your honor!"
...Sino went to the Mitsugoshi Company and had Gamma investigate Su Te's information.
However, in the intelligence of Viscount Olba, who was a member of The Order, there was no record of Su Te's existence.
Even Shadow Garden had not found any trace of Su Te.
"This guy is hiding quite deeply! If that's the case, then let's just act directly against him!" Sino said.
Su Te was a member of The Order personally trained by Fenrir, belonging to the deepest of dark lines. Very few people knew of his existence.
There was something very important in the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy, and Fenrir had Su Te in the Academy to monitor that thing.
Only a small number of people knew of Su Te's existence.
Because he was too low-key in his actions and rarely appeared in the public eye, there was no information about Su Te within The Order.
Sino had originally planned to go find Su Te himself.
But seeing Gamma's hesitant expression,
He knew what Gamma was thinking.
"Gamma, is there something you want?"
"Lord Phantom, I... I miss you a bit. Can you stay with me tonight?"
Gamma's eyes were full of anticipation.
Sino thought about it and felt there was no need for him to go find Su Te himself. He wasn't some powerful character, just someone with a few petty tricks.
"Milia, go investigate Su Te!"
"Yes, Master!"
Milia went directly to Su Te's home.
At this time, Su Te was in the basement, admiring his artworks.
And he planned to sleep in the basement.
Milia searched around but did not find Su Te.
Milia's combat ability was very strong, but her magic perception ability was a bit weak.
She wasn't a professional investigator either.
She circled Su Te's residence several times but found no trace of Su Te.
She randomly grabbed a few maids, coerced and interrogated them, threatening to kill them if they didn't speak, but the answers she got were all "I don't know."
Milia could only focus her attention on Su Te's father.
But the result was that no matter how Milia pressed Su Te's father, he always said he didn't know.
Milia immediately twisted all four of Su Te's father's limbs.
Su Te was a member of The Order, so his father couldn't be anything good either.
Milia felt no guilt whatsoever in her actions.
No matter how Milia pressed him, Su Te's father just wouldn't speak.
This fake Su Te's father was a Son of Diabolos.
These guys knew the terror of The Order deeply and would rather die than be a traitor to The Order.
Finally, Su Te's father died.
Milia searched all night and found nothing.
Ultimately, she could only return to report to Sino... Su Te slept soundly that night and woke up long after daybreak.
Then he learned that his residence had been invaded the previous night.
Several maids and guards had been coerced.
And his newly arranged fake father had also died.
Su Te questioned the maids and guards who had seen Milia.
Finally, he identified who the other party was by her figure.
"Good, good, good, Sino! I haven't even acted against you yet, and you've already sent Milia to find me. We will fight to the death!"
Su Te immediately changed residences and sent others to meet with the male student from yesterday.
He was a bit afraid to appear on campus again.
Milia was able to silently kill his father without alarming a large number of guards.
Her strength was already terrifying.
He dared not appear again.
