Chapter 1419 - Variable
Chapter 1419 - Variable
Four days ago.
Right after Grivon won the battle in the big arena with the raccoon ripping the last ape apart, he simply asked Gwan to sign the properties over and left the place.
The manager, Gwan, and the rest of their subordinates, all sat right there in shock and with a big sense of loss
Of course, Gwan felt those more than the others. After all, he just lost the accumulated fortune of his family. He is going to be in big trouble.
Only a long time after Grivon left did he come back to his senses and look at the manager.
"Sir, what should I do? I.. I cannot hand over all of my family's property."
"You have to. You made an oath. A Gandharva oath. You wouldn't be able to survive the consequences and even after that, your family's property will still belong to him. He can even claim them directly by showing the contract to the clan head in an open court.
Particularly, the news will spread to your rival factions, then wouldn't let any of your faction members rest until they make you guys hand over the property.
This time, you really did cause big trouble."
As they were talking, what they didn't notice is that a small fly completely condensed of energy is flying over their feet listening in on their conversations. When the manager left, Mani hid in the forest until they came out and met with Gwan who is completely alone.
"You lost?"
"What are you doing here?" Gwan asked in confusion and shock.
"I want to know more details about this Gewin guy. I think I found a lead, but it is a bit dangerous. If I can find who he is, I might find a way to get him out of this place and save your property too."
"What is that way?"
"I cannot tell you yet. But you need to give me the details. Every minute one that you might have noticed from this guy."
Gwan nodded and narrated everything that he knew about Grivon.
After that Mani left and Gwan went back to his quarters. But by the time he was there, Grivon is already there with his subordinates and said with a smile.
"Young master, why don't we finish the transfer process now. If we are done with that, both of us can relax peacefully."
Gwan's face stiffened as he looked at Grivon and said.
"I… I also want to get this over with. But because I was so confident that I would win, I didn't tally the records and didn't compile the property list. I need some time to do that.
So, if you could please bear with me for a day or two while the process is happening, that would be helpful."
"Oh? That is understandable. I will definitely wait for two more days. It is not like I am going anywhere. But please do stand by the deal. Even though you lost the fortune that took a century to gain in one gamble, I still respect you.
That is only because you are going to fulfill the promises. But if lose it, things wouldn't be the same and the way we talk wouldn't be the same."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It means, if you even think of breaking the promise and even try to find the loopholes of the contract, I will hang upside down with a stick straight up your ass and ask you to transfer the properties while tapping on it.
So, be careful."
Gwan shuddered as he imagined what it would be like and Grivon left him alone after that.
But what any of them doesn't know is that Mani who was threatened by Grivon is actually using every single connection she has to find out who Grivon might be and by the end of the next day, she managed to find who he is.
From her organization, she is the only one that has a bit of influence in the realms that are stronger than theirs. So, she managed to find out something like this news. In fact, she was actually not sure of Grivon's identity and only related to him because the timeline of his disappearance, the strength of his subordinates, and his cultivation level matched.
But she still wanted to try her luck and made her way to a different location after she got this information and that is to the Mari Clan.
Even though she is not as prominent in the circle of higher clans as this, she has a bit of influence and she knew major information like the rivalry and enmity between the Mari Clan and Gaja Clan.
She also knew that her organization is affiliated with one of the young masters of the Mari Clan. So, she decided to go and meet Sivan who is that very young master and divulge the information regarding the young master of Gaja Clan trotting in his territory.
She knew that this would fetch a large price.
So, after she went to Mari Clan's territory, she visited Sivan's residence with much trouble and when the attendants asked for a message, she directly told.
"I have information about a young master from the Gaja clan trying to take over one of young master Sivan's territories."
When the attendant heard this, he frowned and said.
"You do know that young master wouldn't tolerate if your information is wrong right?"
"Yes. He can execute right here if my information is wrong, but from what I know there is someone who is trying to take over the territory bit by bit."
The attendant went away and after a few minutes came back to take Mani with him.
When Mani met with Sivan who is standing in Sam's body, she hurriedly bowed down and said.
"Young master Sivan, I am from the territory of…"
"I know where you are from, just tell me what you know."
"A person has come in the guise of being a mercenary a few days ago and he directly made with one of the young masters of our organization who is also a well-known gambler.
He is completely unhinged when it comes to gambling and this mercenary started using that to his advantage.
At first, he made the young master transfer a few properties through bets and when I was trying to get some more information from him, I got caught.
He threatened and took all of my property, then let me go because he didn't want to stir enough commotion as I am an elder in that territory.
But he made a mistake by not making me sign a soul contract to completely shut my mouth about him and the whole fiasco because he is so confident about his strength.
Later, he made a large bet with the young master and won all of the property that belongs to the immediate family of the young man.
That is why I confirmed that he is after the territory."
Sivan frowned and went into deep thought before asking.
"Do you know the name and other details of the person?"
"He at least said his name was Gewin, but when I inquired within my circle, I learned that a certain young master named Grivon has been out of the Gaja clan for a while and the timeline matches with Gewin's appearance in our clan.
Apart from that, I have his portrait made."
She took out the portrait of Grivon and Sivan immediately recognized it.
They must have been from the rival factions, but that only makes them more curious about each other they also have more information on each other. That includes the facial information.
When Grivon looked at it, he knew it was Grivon. He grinned and looked at Mani.
"Do you want to leave your organization and join me?"
Mani widened her eyes in disbelief and was stunned for a few seconds without any words.
"Yes, yes. I will be honored to work with you."
"I could use someone like you. You can leave now and tie up all the ends in your old organization before joining here. You can meet my butler and he will arrange for your position."
"Thank you, sir."
After they were done with this, Sivan immediately started calling his soldiers and assembled a special team.
Mani had done a great favor to him. A greater favor than she could ever imagine. She only knew Grivon is the young master of the Gaja clan, but she doesn't know that Grivon and he have another enmity connected to Sam.
For Grivon who wants to kill Sam with everything he got, there is no way he would let this chance go.
Particularly, when Grivon is completely blindsided with this.
So, the very next day, he traveled to the planet Grivon is staying in along with his team and started making plans.
He first started gathering intel. The young master Gwan had to transfer all the property over to Grivon since Mani hasn't responded to him yet and Grivon is pressuring him with the oath.
So, the transfer is complete.. Grivon now properly finished this step within this plan, but with this new variable in town, there is bound to be something that would mess this up.
