Chapter 118 - Like Grass (1/2)
Will already knew what his family was up to, and that his father was the prime minister of the Dragonheart Empire. He had asked Modus to put his family in safe positions of power, which he did. After all, who would be safer than the Prime Minister of an Empire? It was part of the reason he chose to join the Empire, albeit temporarily. But the fact that Jane was about to be sworn in as the 8th Supreme, that was news to him.
Will frowned heavily upon hearing this, but he quickly moved that topic aside. ”I will deal with that when the time comes. For now, I have a question for you.”
Ezra gestured for Will to talk, who put on a very somber expression as he spoke. His following words caused the temperature in the room to drop a few degrees.
”Tell me what happened in China.”
…
There was a long silence that hung in the room. It was Ezra who broke the silence.
”Why should I tell you about that. You had nothing to do with it and the issue is now closed.”
”I am connected because I chose to give you power that would give you advantages over everyone. So every action of yours that is concerning your strength involves me.”
Ezra sighed in resignation and relaxed into the comfy chair.
”Before I tell you anything, you must understand fate. Fate is positive karma gained from incredible achievements. The karma for this falls to one's descendants. Meaning that the descendants have extremely good karma, and luck will be on their side.
The clans that created incredible dynasties and achieved amazing feats had gathered great amounts of fate. There was only one method to access that fate and bring out positive karma. And that was to create a fate apostle, a person who's body is directly affected by fate and can manipulate fate. Thus many of the families or clans with supreme fate gathered together and concentrated their bloodlines into one body, hopefully achieving the objective of having a child who was a fate apostle.
The clans' objective was achieved. Ying Tian, my father was a fate apostle! But he died at a young age, just after conceiving me before he could achieve anything, and I am his only child. Since I had half of the blood of a fate apostle there was a chance to become one, so I became the focus of every clan, the golden child if you will.
All sorts of elixirs and spiritual treasures were used to strengthen me. This coupled with my earth-shattering talent for cultivation made the clan's value even more. They wanted to control me, to the point of who I would sleep with.
Put simply, because I fell in love with Clementine, she was targeted. She was assassinated. She was my everything. As far as I was concerned I had no family. My so-called 'family' treated me like a lab rat. She was the only person who saw me for me. But…they took her from me.
After that, I crippled my own dantian making cultivation impossible for me, becoming garbage. This angered the clans greatly as they invested a lot of money into me. As punishment, I was forced to join a mental asylum, which is really a place to brainwash people to work for the clans. They failed to brainwash me, and every day my only solace was playing with you guys online by sneaking into an office. Then the system arrived, and that changed everything.
