The Medallion novel Chapter 1303

Meanwhile, two figures stood facing each other in a dusty living room inside an abandoned mansion on the southeast side of the Imperial City.

"Priest Dean, were you successful in doing what I asked you to do?" A figure hidden in a dark red robe talked to an old figure with grey hair.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, everything is already set," the old man respectfully said.

The figure hidden in the red robe was no other than Alston, who had just killed Townsend only a few days ago. He took over as the Heavenly Demon Clan's patriarch with the support of several advanced spiritual race clans.

When Alston took over the position, the elders and some spiritual masters of the Heavenly Demon Clan strongly objected. However, the objection suddenly stopped because three of the strongly opposing elders disappeared overnight without any trace, and the reason behind this could be assumed. So, the objection slowly disappeared.

The old man standing in front of Alston was Priest Dean who had been missing for quite a long time.

After Alston was defeated and his soul was sucked out in the Witch Palace, Priest Dean immediately ran away when he realized that the situation was not in his favor. After that, he decided to go to Bryant to save his own life. He told Bryant the things Alston had done to him to win Bryant's trust. However, Bryant was not fooled, so he immediately ordered his people to imprison Priest Dean. It was not until a few months ago that Priest Dean was released under the condition that he was not allowed to come close to the Imperial City.

But he did not give up. All this time he had been hiding in the Imperial City, waiting for an opportunity to regain his strength. However, with his current situation, he immediately became a poor outcast. It was not until Alston found him that he saw hope again.

"The emperor's health is getting worse and worse by the day. I don't think he can hold on for long. I have already asked my confidants in the Palace City to secretly add some deadly herbs in his meal to make the emperor die sooner than expected. The deadly herbs can slow down the blood circulation in the body. With the emperor's physical condition, he will mostly die within a month," Priest Dean insidiously said with a smirk on his face.

"That's good to hear. What about the forces that I cultivated before? Are you already in contact with them?" Alston continued.

"Yes, I have already arranged everything. Once you come back, they will definitely support and follow you no matter what. Although Prince Crimson had won the favor of all the people in the Holy Dragon Empire, many royal families were dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to appoint Basil's son as heir to the throne. Besides that, they were also worried that if his son does become the next emperor, he will surely dominate the empire. And judging from how he handled things before, the royal family may be abolished and cleansed. So, if we capitalize on that, it will be easy for you to ascend the throne again!" Priest Dean said in high spirits. For him, once Alston ascended the throne again, he would be able to regain his strength and reach an even higher level.

"Now that I have finally become the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, I don't care about the position of the emperor at all. But I still want that guy to show up. I believe that he will not disregard the safety of his wife and son," Alston mischievously sneered.

"If that's the case, why don't we act now? With your current strength, you can easily catch Isis and her son!" Priest Dean asked in confusion.

"That will be too easy for him. I must tarnish his reputation in front of everyone first and make him a traitor of the Holy Dragon Empire. With that, he will be completely despised by everyone. I've been waiting for that day for a very long time. Now it's time for me to finally get rid of my embarrassment from the past. Besides, that guy holds a terrifying item now. If I were to face him alone, he would not show any mercy. But if he were to face so many people, he would surely have some concerns," Alston analyzed thoughtfully.
