Chapter 554: Massive Debt (1/2)

Gnyan spent seven days in the dark cell and all this while, he is screaming at the top of his lungs demanding a meeting with his father, but his father already seemed to have instructed him to not bring anything related to his disappointing son to his notice for these seven days.

On the seventh day, he was finally able to get a meal but as soon as he ate it he fell unconscious and his spiritual energy that was locked couldn't help.

Now this news was finally brought to his father's notice and the family healer took a look at him and said some absurd reason that they sounded stupid.

”He ate food that was too good. He was served spiritual cuisine while his cultivation is locked. It was too much load for the body and he fainted. Unlock the seal, bit by bit, and let him absorb the energy slowly and he would wake up. Don't take it off immediately; that would be too much overflow of spiritual energy to his body as he wouldn't be awake to control it.

Might result in spiritual core damage.”

This made the father furious. He didn't know if he should scold the kitchen for sending this food or if he should feel good that his family staff are so good to his son. He just stayed put.

After two days, he finally woke up. When he saw himself in his room, he felt devastated. He immediately ran out and went to his father who is in the middle of a meeting and yelled.

”Father, we have to go to Mirage city. How many days has it been? We have to go otherwise, we will be knee-deep in debt.”

”Get out now, we will talk after the meeting is over.”

His father didn't even say anything. But Gnyan didn't stop and yelled even louder.

”You have to listen to me, I have a lot of debt to pay. I need money now. How many days has it been since I am here?”

”I said get out.”

”Listen to me goddammit. We are in deep shit if you don't listen to me.”

At this moment, Rana came in and said to his father.

”If I were you, I would listen to brother, my dear father. Your son has done some great deeds in Mirage city that would tear your flesh apart if you don't find a way to reduce the damage.”

Gnyan was surprised and turned to look at Rana.

”When did you come back? You are supposed to be in Mirage city.”

”Well, I am having a bit of trouble as the people knew about our relationship, they are pointing fingers at me while labeling me as a brother of the cheater. It was a bit difficult for me to bear the brunt of your actions.

Even your creditors are also after me, so I gave them a suggestion. On the fifteenth day, they would present this case in the imperial court.

After all, war is a costly thing, so I offered them an easier alternative to let me leave the mirage city.

Today is already twelfth, so if you don't want to go to the imperial court and stand for the trial, you better go back and pay the debt.”

Gnyan's body shivered, now he understood that it has to be related to his brother, otherwise he wouldn't be so smug about it. But he doesn't have enough evidence to convince his father to take action and the agreement he had was completely legit. He doesn't have a way out.

”What are you talking about?” Only after Rana spoke did the father even tried to listen.

After the betting incident, Rana left the family house and stayed outside. He didn't even come back to the family meetings and he heard that he started a business. The family head wanted to have a discussion, but he couldn't bring himself to. But two days ago, on the last day of Gnyan's stay in the dark cell, he finally came.

But he didn't get a chance to talk with him. Now that he came to him himself, he is saying something about his eldest son's mistakes.

He felt like something is fishy.

He dismissed the meeting and only his two sons remained in the room.

Gnyan who was panicking couldn't explain the situation, so Rana did the explaining, while Gnyan downed the wine directly.

”Stupid son, why didn't you contact me as soon as something happened to the forge? You idiotic bastard. I shouldn't have given you a chance at all. How much debt do you have now?” The family head became furious as he slammed the table. He almost wanted to beat his son to death. He already lost around three billion for the sake of his son and now it seems like he will be losing more.
