Chapter 41: Departure (1/2)
”What the hell happened?” Grandfathered demanded with a grim expression as he eyed me along with my guards.
”Salazar, that bastard is a demon. Kill him now!” Yarmor shouted as he pushed his mangled body out from the crater, blood racing down his body as he gasped for air.
With contempt radiating from me, I snapped as a virtual image appeared, clearly revealing everything that occurred from beginning to end. A look of terror clouded Yarmor face, but he still bellowed, ”He placed a bounty on my families head,”
”So what, ” I said cruelly, ”This is the price you will pay for this transgression.”
A complicated expression masked everyone as they heard my words, but I could care less. Yarmor was in the heavenly realm far above me. It would be suicide to try to defeat him as I am now.
”Revoke this bounty now, Arsène; we do not kill family members,” Grandfather said before turning to Yarmor.
”as for you...”
”No,” my cold voice sounded, cutting him off, ”They die, or he dies; I don't care about this fucking rule. A heavenly realm master tried to kill me. Was it not for my guards, I would be dead,” I said, not caring for my disrespect
Salazar's face twisted as his palm swept across my face. Blood burst from my lips, but my eyes remained cold and sinister, ”Even if you kill me, they will still die. While the snow is a powerful family, I already control the majority of Asterion's economy. I have thousands of contingency in case of my death.”
Growing pale grandfather trembled, but a powerful hand gripped his shoulder as Grey stepped forward towards me, ”Are you threatening the House of Snow, Arsène Snow.” Grey asked softly, his tone mild and light.
”Threatening? You know me, Grey, do you think I need to threaten people. The king of this nation fell to my plot I created years ago, ” With a pause, I looked towards Yarmor, ”I earned my spot within this family, I created massive revenue for all of you. I increased your cultivation resources and much more. Did you think I did that out of the kindness of my heart?
”Just as the Snow Expect loyalty from its descents, so too do I. Yarmor tried to murder me, so I asked what will you do about it. ”
Turning to my parents, I bowed, ”thank you for your help, ” I said with a warm smile, ”were it not for you, I would have died. ”
”...Sene...what are you doing,” Mother asked, her voice shaking as her throat seemed to tighten up.
Smiling bitterly, I turned to Grey, who gave me a cold, knowing look deep within his eyes, ” Kill Him, or I walk,” I said
”What!!!” Salazar shouted.
Looking at the various people that were gathering, I smiled inwardly, ”What will it be, dear uncle,”
