RISE OF EROS-Chapter 681 - 680
Seeing the state his employees were in, Andrew knew he couldn’t convince them to calm down with words, so he immediately went into action.
He approached a group of them and without warning them, teleported them to the Dunnas Palace. The employees were surprised when they sensed the change in atmosphere, but Andrew didn’t explain anything to them.
He quickly returned to the Cannes Palace, leaving his employees lost, but Andrew’s wives and the Dunnas Palace employees who had already been notified calmed them down and explained the situation to them.
While they were explaining, Andrew reappeared bringing another group of employees, and then, Andrew’s wives decided to wait until everyone was brought in to explain.
They didn’t want to have to explain the same thing several times. They just limited themselves to reassuring the employees, which wasn’t difficult, as they could tell they were safe.
The tremors from the attacks could no longer be felt and above all, the environment was different, the atmosphere was different, and above all, Andrew’s wives and children were there calm.
If those who were the most important beings to Andrew were calm, it was obvious that there was no danger. Andrew continued to bring the employees into groups of 20 people.
Previously, Andrew could only teleport between temples a certain limited amount of times and with a maximum of 10 people, but since he released his fourth divine seal, these parameters were doubled.
Because of that, Andrew did not feel any fatigue after transporting nearly 100 people in succession. The last to arrive were Andrew’s guardians along with the three vampires. Jasper, Helga, and Layla immediately looked at the new surroundings and could not help but ask, "Where are we?" to which Andrew proceeded to explain what was happening.
He was not only telling this to the three vampires but to everyone else. They all listened attentively and were surprised to learn that they were in Dunnas. Many of them did not know, but for those who did understand, the surprise was massive.
Dunas and Cannes were several countries away. It wasn’t a trip they could make in such a short time, even with teleportation magic. This kind of magic, though rare, was not unheard of.
Seraphine had used it before when they traveled to the Demon Realm, but even for a demigod teleporting several kilometers was the limit, but Andrew casually brought them to another country.
This was something unreal and beyond all common sense, but Andrew didn’t explain that this was because he is a god candidate and that his temples had this ability, as it was a secret he wouldn’t reveal to just anyone.
Honestly, he trusted Jasper, Helga, and Layla, but not his employees. Some might be very loyal, but they still didn’t reach the level of entrusting them with the biggest secret he had.

After finishing the explanation, the employees were directed to another place to calm down and adapt to the new environment. In the office, only Andrew, his wives, children, guardians, and the three vampires remained.
Although they knew that Andrew was still hiding something from them, they did not dare to ask, as they all had their secrets and they should not scrutinize Andrew’s secrets if he did not want to tell them.
Andrew silently thanked them that they did not ask him, as he considered them friends and did not want to lie to them, but he was not yet willing to reveal his secrets to them, so he remained silent.
On the other hand, the demigods who were trying to gain Andrew’s favor noticed the anomalies that were occurring. Their informants reported the strange events that were taking place.
The dragon territory was under attack. The city of the duchy of Cannes was also under attack and the sea was not calm either. The first two places were far away from them, so they investigated the sea first.
Their first thought was to go to the city of Cannes, as Andrew was there, but although they wanted to gain Andrew’s favor, they would not act recklessly, so they approached the closest place, the sea.

Dustas followed the plan and sent the pirates under his command and some mercenaries to create chaos by attacking different cities and ships. Normally this would not be something that would attract attention, but the attacks seemed coordinated and massive.
It was obvious that something strange was going on and it was worth investigating. Dustas was also clever and used this to leave clues about Purgatory anonymously, reporting everything he knew.
For normal people, these clues were elusive, but for beings of Kael or Draneg’s level, they were obvious. They quickly noticed that this was a distraction and understood where the real battle was.
Dustas did not reveal that he was the king of Tripia, nor that he was an agent of Purgatorio, as he would only be condemning himself, but he was smart and stabbed his supposed master and Purgatorio in the back without being noticed.
Well, at least by the demigods and their informants. Purgatorio, who already knew Dustas’ intentions, was not so deluded as not to notice, as they had hidden agents, watching Dustas.
Dustas was not ignorant either and knew that there must be watchers watching his movements, but, even so, it was an opportunity he could not pass up. He quickly surrounded himself with his confidants and was cautious.
Purgatorio watched him, but could not attack him at the moment. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, it was just that they lacked combat strength, so they waited for their chance to take revenge for this betrayal.
Dustas knew the capabilities of this organization, as he had worked with them for a long time, so, even surrounded by his confidants, he didn’t feel safe.
He quickly sent messages to nearby countries informing them of his situation. He didn’t say that he worked with Purgatory and that he had betrayed them, but instead said that he was being held and stalked by them.
He is smart, so he told a credible lie and asks for support, but even if the neighboring countries agreed to help, this help would take a while to arrive, so he began a period of paranoia.
His fear was not unfounded, but he had played his cards, now he could only hope that his plan would work. Meanwhile, the man dressed in the Green cape launched a powerful attack and part of the Cannes Palace finally gave way.
He couldn’t destroy the entire building, but it was beginning to crumble, and that made the leader of Purgatory happy. This encouraged him to intensify his attack and after several blows, the Cannes Palace was nothing but rubble.
Andrew immediately felt when his temple was destroyed and felt regret, but there was no pain. The loss of a temple is not something as simple as losing a building, it is part of his divinity and domain.
Andrew felt as if he had lost a loved one and anger invaded him, but he did not act recklessly. He repressed his anger and took a large gulp from a bottle of wine as if trying to drown his sorrow, which surprised everyone present since Andrew was not one to act in that way.
