Chapter 1674: Rejection
Chapter 1674: Rejection
Sam just smiled at the threat and spoke.
"Don't worry. I don't like beating around the bush either. If not for the fact that it is hard to meet you, I wouldn't have caused all of this fuss. Also the time is pretty tight."
"So, tell me. How do you know about the technique? Why do the other organizations know about it? It is a secret that even most of the Sura clan doesn't know. Even some core members were kept in dark."
"Well, let's say that the goddess Hel herself told me. As for the rest of the clans, while the goddess appeared in your clan and imparted the technique to you, the gods that are being worshipped by other clans also met them and gave the information about the technique.
And there are other people like me, precisely six people who don't belong in this area of the realm that came here to assist those six clans to gain the technique in your hands."
"Then, you are also here for that?" Brig's aura changed for a moment.
"Hold your horses. I am here to help you out actually. To put it simply, the other six people I told you about were given a task to steal your technique, while I was given a task to protect you and your technique away from them.
That is the situation. So, in a way I am on your side."
"Am I supposed to thank you now?"
"No need for such formalities, you can do that after I am done with the task."
"Why should I trust you?"
"You don't need to trust me, you can just contact your spies in other clans. Just contact them and ask them if someone came to meet them. Ask them if they are making any large moments.
You should probably know who would be moving from that clan if they want to take that technique away from you, ask them if they are moving or not.
I am pretty sure you can confirm it."
Brig thought for a few minutes and spoke.
"You are going to be in my custody before I confirm it. You better pray that whatever you told me is the truth. Or you can only wish that you are dead."
"Well, you better confirm it fast. I need to talk to you about what kind of people we are facing before I could figure out a strategy to deal with them."
"Even if what you said is true, what makes you think that I would trust you with the task?"
"I don't know. The fact that I am your best shot at it, might be a little factor."
Brig didn't reply to him and turned to Kach.
"How are you guys related anyway? I heard you are from the Meadow clan. I am pretty sure this guy wouldn't be able to come across Meadow clan."
"We are not related in anyway. We only got to know each other here. Before this, we are complete strangers."
"So, he just basically used you to get to me. You better watch your back."
"At least, he only used me when I needed his help too. Your student on the other hand, used our clan's heirloom as a symbol to his pride. It is much more hurtful and disgusting than whatever Sam did."
Brig's face turned red in embarrassment.
He didn't want to breach that topic if possible. His original intentions were to just brush this off by giving the sword back along with some compensation.
As much as he hated his student's actions, he cannot do much about them. He still has to save his ass and he also has to preserve his own reputation. He might not have any desires of conquering lands and gaining authority, but the reputation that is direct representation of his character cannot be stained.
But Kach didn't bother putting up any pretenses. He tore everything apart.
"It is a misunderstanding and ignorance on my student's part. I will make him apologize and give you your sword back. I will also personally owe the meadow clan a favor. What do you think? Can we consider this matter resolved?"
"No, if your student has given me the sword the very moment I asked him, I would have concluded the matter. But too bad. He had to blow the whole matter up.
I want him to admit what he did publicly and he has to apologize to our ancestor's graves for the sin he committed."
Brig frowned as he looked at him coldly.
"It must be hard for the high and mighty Brig to be rejected like this, but I am not backing out of this. I already embarrassed myself and swallowed all the blame, to give your student a way out. But he took it for granted.
I did all of that because of my respect towards you. But now even that is gone. So, don't expect any leeway from me."
"Do you know what you are doing? You are making an enemy out of my father?"
Yana said from the side.
"Yes, I am indeed making an enemy out of your father. Both him and I know that I am not exactly an easy opponent. All I have to do is escape from this place and stay in the dark.
Meadow clan is not the only clan with members and youngsters that are easy to bully. Even Sura clan has them and they are spread too far and too wide.
That makes you guys a bigger target. If anything you should be worried about making me your enemy. If this is not resolved. I will escape this place and I will kill every prospect that I come across.
None of the members will be able to breakthrough past the middle stage of Astral Plane Consummation. So, you think before you make a decision."
Yana opened her mouth wide open in shock. She wanted to say something, but she was unable to do so. She was too shocked to speak.
On the other hand, Brig's expression turned colder. But he forced himself to calm down. He knew what Kach said is true. If whatever the city guard captain reported is true, then there is no way, he would be able prevent whatever Kach mentioned if they completely fall out. Things will be completely out of his hand.
He could only grit his teeth and leave the room. He couldn't even get happy for the new technique he received and he already has to deal with two big assholes that are being a pain in his own ass.
