Gill took a deep breath.
”All right then. Spender Family will no longer take part,” he spoke in a loud voice while attempting to remain calm. ”Let’s go!”
”Wait, you must stay here until the end of the competition,” the man seated on the chair suddenly said.
”You!” Gill became enraged and his face turned red.
”He is right. The garden’s location is a secret. We do not trust you. You should just wait here.” Christopher, Morgan Family’s head, nodded slightly.
”Ha…When we first arrived at this gate, the Spender Family was the strongest family yet now they are the weakest…You should at least stand up for Kita’s sake, considering how he is still inside the garden.” An elder who belonged to the Philip Family sneered while shaking his head. ”What a joke.”
Members of the Spender Family had been utterly enraged due to those words. Some of them even had already placed their hands on their weapons, all at the ready.
The man seated on the chair curled his lips into a smile. He had immediately brought his subordinates in this place after learning the information on the garden. They had ambushed the two strongest elders of the Spender Family and murdered them, which was the reason for the Spenders’ sudden plunge in battle capability.
He would have taken everything from the garden himself if not for him feeling uncertain of his chances of winning a battle against the entire three families. What he did not know, however, was the three families had never once thought of uniting due to their terrible relationship with each other.
The atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.
The Spender Family was in a tough position. They wanted to depart but Unos, of the Blue Eagle Nest, and the other two families would not let them do so.
Although the Spenders seemed to have started cooperating now, the rest knew their priority was to guarantee that Kita could safely leave the garden and that they did not want to initiate a fight.
”Come on…We can let the Spender Family leave once their family heir leaves the garden. What do you think?” A woman who had long, black hair and was standing beside Unos said.
No one reacted to her suggestion. The other two families knew they could not win a fight against the Blue Eagle Nest once the Spender Family left.
Gill’s plan was to avoid any battle then come back once the other two families’ power was weakened. After all, he needed an assurance that his family could still survive once they returned to the city.
The current situation had reached a conundrum.
But suddenly, they heard intense footsteps which seemed to belong to people hiking to the mountaintop.
The members of the Spender Family looked happy. Since the situation was currently against the odds, to them, any form of outside interference was a necessity in order to disturb the balance.
The other two families, and Unos, were dissatisfied about such changes.
Unos’ expression changed, and with a flick of his finger, his voice soon became louder and more powerful due to the influence of energy particles.
”We are having a meeting on the mountain’s peak. I am Unos of the Blue Eagle Nest. Strangers, please leave the mountain immediately!”
Unos’ voice echoed throughout as he glared toward the narrow path between the dark green trees.
”Watch your filthy mouth, you are addressing the representatives of THE Elemental Hand!” a cold voice belonging to a female retorted.
The family heads and Unos exchanged eye contact with each other upon listening to these words. They were uncertain on how to react to that.
”The Elemental Hand…We are in trouble.”
”How did they find this place…?”
”One of the most powerful organizations in the region of Tarry River, ha, now that’s interesting.” Gill’s expression loosened.
Several minutes later, a group of black-robed and red-robed men and women arrived at the peak led by a black-robed female who wore a face devoid of any expression, her eyes glowed in red. In reality, though, she did not expect to see so many people competing for the opportunity to enter the gate.
”I have already told you who you’re dealing with, yet it seems you do not even care…I will…”
”Calm down, Lyn. This is a public place, and they came here before us,” a gentle voice belonging to a man interrupted.
When Unos listened to the voice, he looked at a brown-haired man stand behind the female wizard. The man was clothed with a long, black robe. Him being in the safest position of the formation indicated him as the leader of this group.
The man had an average face but his overall appearance was eye-catching. A pink glow surrounded his eyes and a silver glint on his skin.
It was Angele; they had finally reached the mountain’s peak.
”We are members of Elemental Hand, here for the garden’s secret treasure. We will not harm you as long as you do not attempt anything stupid.” There was a gentle smile on Angele’s face.
His words were easily understood. Elemental Hand was a far more powerful organization compared to Blue Eagle Nest and the three families. With such authority and power, they should be the ones to take possession of the treasure.
”Elemental Hand…they cannot just come here and steal the treasure right from under our noses.” There was a serious expression on Unos’ face.
