BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 - Leaving
As they were leaving the hall, Dante couldn\'t bear to look at them. The Pierce clan had just been publicly humiliated badly!
After all the cold words Grand Patriarch Jarred had said to them even Dante was starting to feel a bit sorry for them.
But after seeing the sorry sight of the fleeing Pierce Clan, Dante\'s desire for power only grew.
A few days ago, the Pierce Clan would never take such a humiliation from the Kinsman Clan without putting up a mad resistance.
But in the last few days, the situation had changed so much. Just because of the presence of just one Martial adept realm cultivator, after being slapped by the Kinsman Clan, the Pierce Clan could only sorrowfully turn the other cheek and endure another beating!
Dante knew he could never be on the receiving end of such a humiliation and take it without reacting, so the very least he could do was at least have the strength to slap his offender back!
Just as Dante was having these thoughts he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. looking to the right he could see an old man with a silly smile on his face
Of course, this was none other than his grandfather, Grand Patriarch Jarred!
whilst Dante was in his thoughts, Patriarch Jarred started speaking.
"I hope you\'re not mad at me at what I did there, it\'s just that as your grandfather I want what\'s best for you"
Despite Jarred\'s sudden apology, Dante was still confused as to what reason he would even have to be mad.
"Mad? Why would be mad?" Asked Dante
"Come on Dante, I\'m you\'re grandfather don\'t have to lie to me... I just ruined your chances of getting married to an absolute Beauty,
But don\'t worry, as your grandfather how could I wrong you? With my help, forget about common beauties, I can even get you engaged to a princess!"
Even though Dante didn\'t really care about grand patriarch Jarred\'s decision in rejecting Randall\'s marriage proposal, his next words really grabbed Dante\'s attention
"A princess? Grandfather, are you sure?"
hearing jarred\'s words Dante was almost in disbelief.
"Of course I\'m sure!" replied Grand Patriarch Jarred with the utmost certainty
"A talent like you is even rare to see every generation so as long as you maintain your rapid progress and show some talent, using some connections I\'m sure I can at least propose an engagement to one of the king\'s many daughters!"
hearing this Dante couldn\'t help but imagine the scenes...
he could already imagine himself on a throne with a beautiful queen sitting next to him as he lorded over his many subjects, satisfying a vanity deep inside of him that he never even knew existed in the first place.
But just as Dante\'s thoughts began to run wild, Dante suddenly felt a sharp pain at his waist:
"Oww!"
Turning around, Dante looked behind him, only to see Rebecca Glaring at him with a pair of emotionless eyes
"You\'re thoughts, they\'re so disgusting," said Rebecca in a cold voice.
But Dante wasn\'t one to take this baseless slander and do nothing so he quickly replied
"Disgusting? How is that even possible? Can you read minds, how do you even know what I\'m thinking in the first place?"
But to Dante\'s dismay, Rebecca easily countered his question
"well, that\'s easy.
You just have to look at your face. You have that same disgusting smile on your face that you did when you were staring at Adelia a few moments ago."
hearing Rebecca\'s reply Dante wasn\'t even mad, he just had one thought on his mind as he reached up to touch his face
\'My smile... is it really that ugly?\'
...
Over the next few days the buzz and the hype around the Kinsman Clan didn\'t settle down inside the kinsman clan didn\'t die down, instead, it only seemed to get even worse!
This is because an event arguably even more important than the defeat of the slater clan would be taking place soon,
The Entrance tests for the Hidden Dragon Academy!
With entrance tests for such a big organisation only a few months away, it would be impossible for the clan disciples to relax.
Almost all of them were training like mad to try and get the chance to travel to the capital to take the test for the Hidden Dragon Academy. Even at night time sounds of clanging weapons could be heard throughout the kinsman clan compound showing that some people weren\'t even going to let the lack of light stop theme from their practice...
...
Somewhere deep within the Kinsman Clan, three figures were sat around a table discussing some affairs.
these people were non-other than Jarred, Gavin and Winton.
"So Gavin, how is the clan looking like now that we\'ve destroyed the Slater Clan" asked Jarred
"Well ever since we destroyed the Slater Clan we have managed to absorb there two mines that they previously owned, bringing the number of mines under our control to almost double what it previously was reaching an all-time high at 5.
In addition to this, the Slater Clan stores throughout the whole of brightsteel city have now been taken over by our kinsman clan.
But despite all this, the most lucrative gain from this whole affair was the high grade spirit weapons the slater clan gained from the Blood Moon Palace are now all in our hands!"
As Gavin recounted the clan\'s current state a ridiculous smile couldn\'t help but come across his face.
In just a few days the assets of the clan had well over doubled, if he hadn\'t seen it with his own eyes he wouldn\'t even believe it himself!
"Hahaha!"
hearing these results Grand patriarch Jarred burst out laughing
"I still can\'t believe the slater clan was destroyed in my generation, and this is all couldn\'t have happened without your contributions Winton "
Hearing Jarred\'s words, Winton laughed as he responded
"Haha! I did nothing special.. As a memeber of the Kinsman Clan, I naturally would do what\'s in their best interest."
