Chapter 999: Set up (1/2)

”You tried to kill me because I fucked a whore? Are you out of your fucking mind?”

The fourth young master yelled at the top of his lungs as he looked at the third young master and his father.

The third young master looked at him coldly and that gaze alone made him tone down his temper and sit back down.

”Isn't it too much third elder? Killing a fellow member of the branch just because of a whore? Is he alright in his mind?”

”You should mind your words, fourth elder. Otherwise, you can check yourself, whether his mind is alright in the field outside. I am sure at least half of the branch would be willing to be a witness for that and confirm whether he is alright in his mind or not.”

The fourth elder became silent and tried to say something, but the third elder cut him off.

”Fourth young master, you and the rest of the young masters seemed to have forgotten something. As much as the elves care more about the democracy and the political aspects while ruling, this is the world of cultivation and the one with the stronger cultivation reigns supreme.

My son might have quit the race for the head of the branch, it is not because he cannot even compete or he doesn't know what kind of privilege it is. But he sees it as a responsibility and thought of the branch than thinking about his own well-being.

That is the only reason, you guys are able to compete carelessly now.

Just because you are a bit cunning than my son, don't think you can look down on him and don't keep on pushing that line. There is only so much that he would tolerate and the next time, I am sure your father wouldn't be able to stop him when he decides to use his sword. Because I know I am not going to stop him.

So, only the family head will be your option. That is if you can convince him with the fact that you pissed someone off by stepping on their dignity even though he is your peer and when retaliated you came crying to him for help.

Good luck with that and your future.”

With that third elder walked away. But before leaving, the third young master looked at the fourth young master and said.

”Stay away from Aqua. If I see you anywhere near her. I would cut your balls off.”

Fourth young master involuntarily held his groin as he trembled in fear.

He went back to his room as he took pills and potions to recover from all the beating he took and felt frustrated by how he got into this mess.

It is true that he started the trend 'bullying the third young master is fun'. But that is just to make the first and second to get distanced from the third and he even has the remedy maneuvers in place. But before he could do that, he already became the victim of the third young master's wrath.

If only he knew that the whore he fucked is someone the third young master liked, he would not just leave her alone, he would buy her off from the brothel and present her to the third young master.

This bloody coincidence almost pushed his plan four years backward.

While he is trying to think of ways to remedy this situation, the word spread all over the city and the elven branch.

Aqua's presence and third young master's long-term involvement with her were completely made public and laid bare in front of everyone's eyes.

She couldn't believe that she fucked two of the five young masters and even became the reason for the clash. As much as she is flattered, she knew that she would be in trouble soon enough.

Even if the young masters didn't get involved, the elders might.

While she is feeling panicky about what to do, Kiran once again visited the brothel and directly entered her room.

”I have a way for you to get away from all this. Do you want to take it?”

”Who are you?”

”Don't tell me you already forgot. It was just this afternoon that we met.”

Aqua was shocked and gasped.

”You are fo..”

Kiran stopped her from talking.

”I am not who you think you are. But I can help you get away from this situation. Do you want to get out or not?”

”Yes.”

”But I need some of your blood and your arm.”
