Chapter 1377: Confront
Vardar looked at the communication token coldly. He is extremely angry at the moment. This is the greatest insult he has ever received at least out in the open.
He coldly looked around to find an elder and after he did that, he gestured him to come near him.
"Lead me to Giyon's residence."
"Sir Vardar…"
"I am not asking if you are willing to or not. I am telling you to lead me there right now. I would like to see what your Gaja Clan's hospitality is first hand. How dare one of you to keep my disciple hostage? Lead me there now or I would account this transgression to the whole clan, which means this would be the end of our cooperation for once and for all."
The elder gulped and decided to just lead him there and wash this matter off of his hands.
But as they reached that spot, the clan leader also coincidentally came at the same time. When he looked at Vardar's figure, he couldn't help but hold his forehead in frustration.
He knew this would be a headache, but he didn't know that it would be this much of a headache. Now that Vardar is here, there is no stopping this situation.
Vardar stopped in front of the Clan leader and both of them are standing right outside the entrance.
"What is this Clan Leader? Are you aware of what is happening to my disciple and did you still let that happen?"
"No, Sir Vardar. I was just made aware of the matter and I immediately came here to free your disciple. I was about to bring him directly to you after getting him back from her, but you came here before I had a chance."
"It is still good this way. You can be the witness to the whole thing so that your clan doesn't blame me for being unfair to someone of the younger generation."
With that, he walked straight and didn't even bother to knock before opening the main door of the building.
Clan leader shook his head once again in exasperation when he saw this.
"Who the fuck is that so mannerless to come barging into my house?"
She directly yelled without any restraint. Vardar stopped in his tracks as his face turned red in embarrassment. A woman of the younger generation is scolding him for being mannerless. This insult is completely unbearable.
Before he could speak, Clan's leader who is standing behind him knocked on the door and an attendant came running towards them.
"Tell Giyon that clan leader and Vardar came here to visit."
Vardar was shocked by his words. The attendant just casually nodded and went back to running to Giyon.
"You are the Clan's leader and you still have to ask for permission from her? Did the youngsters of the Gaja Clan become so insolent nowadays?"
"I am the leader of the clan, not the ruler and I am responsible for Clan members' safety and even I don't have the right to invade their privacy as I like. Particularly, when we are entering the house of a young lady uninvited.
Moreover, she is not just anyone. She is the financial genius of our clan and she brought more profits than anyone else in the last century, so she deserves some respect herself and her status is no less than that of a core elder."
When Vardar heard this, he immediately guessed where the problem came from. He knew how his disciple acted when he was not present and sometimes, he doesn't even care whether Vardar is there or not.
Even though he is the disciple of Vardar, his official and generational status is still less than that of a core elder. It is not right for him to treat a core elder that way. But he still couldn't stomach this and walked forward after the attendant returned.
When Vardar and Clan leader was led to the hall where Giyon, Sam and Grivon are sitting along with their subordinates, Vardar saw his disciple kneeling on the floor with his whole body drenched in sweat. Giyon is calmly sitting on her chair with fruits served to her on a platter which she is eating with her fork.
Vardar looked at her angrily and was about to yell when his look stopped on Sam sitting beside her.
Sam looked at him and gave him an evil smile. The fact is that Sam and Vardar are meeting for the first time. But Vardar knew too much about him because he knew Sivan very much and learned of his face.
He also learned that Sam is the reason why his grip over the intelligence organizations in various places was completely gone.
He is a little late on the news because the incident that revealed Sam's location only happened a few days ago and he was in seclusion for a bit.
But now that he has seen Sam, he knew that he is in for something big. He also realized that there might be some underlying factors involved in this hostage situation.
Vardar didn't speak and just stood there. Giyon completely ignored him and kept on eating her food. When the disciple realized that his master is here, he was about to stand up, but Giyon's aura surrounded her and enveloped the guy pushing him to submission once again.
"Did I say you could leave?"
"Giyon, you better let him go right now and I might just forgive you for the whole matter. Otherwise, things wouldn't end badly." Vardar said calmly.
Clan leader sighed and walked close to the Vardar as he whispered.
"Sir Vardar. I apologize in advance for what I am about to say. If you really want your disciple in one piece or even want him at all. You better not rile her up. Ask her what the problem is and resolve it peacefully."
"Hmph… Just because you are used to coddling youngsters, I don't have to accommodate them."
*PAK*
As soon as his word left his mouth, his disciple's face was hit with a palm and the face then hit the ground.
The Vardar looked at Giyon with widened eyes.
"You are the master of this lecherous piece of shit aren't you? Don't you know to teach any better than this? First, he barged into my private residence without my permission. Second, he looks at me lecherously and misbehaves here, and finally, he even threatens me.
Is that all your teaching is worth?"
"YOU…"
"Before you went on yapping about who you are and what you are, I am telling you, I don't give a fuck. I am already in an extremely bad mood now and I am really not willing to talk to some unworthy teacher of a lecher. So, listen to me…
You can take your disciple back, but in exchange, I need that umbrella that belongs to your Divine Palace. I don't want to negotiate and with time, the price will only increase. So, you better decide, and for every hour you delay, I will destroy one joint of your disciple and you better believe that your status and power wouldn't help you get you out of this situation."
"I would like to verify that claim," Vardar spoke and his whole body is covered with spiritual energy as his aura of Peak stage Consummate realm cultivator enveloped the whole room.
"My dignity is not something you can challenge young lady."
The Vardar spoke coldly and stepped forward.
"I thought anyone with twenty-two thousand three hundred forty-two spirit stones can challenge that. What changed?"
Sam's voice reverberated around the room and for a few seconds, everything turned silent. Vardar's aura raged uncontrollably but it was still silent. Everyone can see that he is extremely embarrassed and ashamed of this line.
Everyone looked at Sam.
"Oh, I forgot what changed. It is just that the price has increased. And even then I thought that the price of the life of one of your disciples is more than enough, when your dignity could be sold by three thousand acres of Marsh used to grow Red rough Algae. I guess I miscalculated.
This lecherous disciple is indeed not worth that much."
The spiritual energy in the room fluctuated continuously as Vardar's eyes turned red. He even forgot Giyon for a moment and turned to face Sam.
"You better watch what you say?"
"Oh, what are you going to do if I don't? Would you go and complain to Sivan or would you do the same thing you did to the Demon Soul swordsman long ago?
If you are planning to do the latter, you better remember how big it backfired. It almost blew up in your face."
The Vardar opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"How do you…
It seems like you are really tired of living. I will kill you now."
He was about to make a move when suddenly he felt an enormous pressure bearing on him. He looked at the clan's leader, but the man is leisurely standing there with a helpless expression.
"I already warned you.. Now that guy is already here and I doubt you will be safe even after paying that ransom."
