106 First elder (1/2)
While Ajax was in the Five elemental world, the assassin sect's mission hall was in a heated discussion about, a team of their disciples who went missing after taking a below-average danger rating mission.
”What yo you think, third elder?”, A black-robed older man who was thin and pale asked the third elder of the assassin sect.
”I don't know, but there is a small chance that the Hammergust family from the five main families may be behind all of this as they are the ones who issued the mission”, the third elder replied politely to the black-robed old man.
”Really?”, the black-robed old man asked, raising his brow.
”Yes, First elder, recently all the five main families are having joint meetings and are discussing something serious. I think they are planning something behind our back”, another old man who looked somewhat younger than the previous two, politely replied to the black-robed old man addressing him as the first elder.
”Yes, First elder, what the fourth elder said is correct as I also got some news that the five main families are trying something”, the third elder quickly agreed with the fourth elder of the sect.
”Hmm”, the first elder didn't say anything and thought about something as he gazed into the distance.
”I think, there is going to be a battle between main families and sects, but I can't predict when will it's going to happen”, after gazing into the distance for sometime, he continued saying, ”However, one thing is for sure, it will happen around the same time of the champion's contest”.
The first elder words shocked other elders.
As they were still in the shocked state, the first elder coughed lightly making all others woke up the shock, and he continued, ”I will discuss this with Grand Elder and Sect leader”.
The assassin sect's power structure is very simple, just like many other sects or families.
At the top of the power structure was the Sect Leader and below that was the Grand Elder.
After Grand Elder, comes the 12 Elders who manage different halls of the sects like a discipline hall, mission hall, and others.
The most powerful of the 12 Elders was the First Elder, so everyone listens to him.
”Okay then, everyone leaves now. Third elder, you stay behind”, the first elder asked everyone to leave except for the third elder.
Soon everyone left the mission hall leaving the fist elder and the third elder alone.
”Third Elder, why are worrying about one team that gone missing very much?”, after everyone left, the first elder asked the third elder slowly.
”First Elder, if it is any other item I wouldn't have bothered much about it, but the problem is my disciple Caprice”, the Third elder heaved a long sigh as he continued, ”His brother was in that team, and he really cares about the little brother of his and recently instead of preparing for the champion's contest, he is wasting his time investigation about the missing team”.
”Oh, that Caprice Carr whom you fought with the second elder in the disciple selections, right?”, the First elder asked remembering the selection event where two elders fought for a disciple. Finally, the third elder managed to tempt him into coming under his tutelage angering Second Elder.
”Yes, First elder”, the third elder nodded his head in agreement.
”He achieved a cultivation strength of peak elite commander realm at the age of just 21, and he is presently at the bottleneck to reach the General realm...Sigh”, at the end of his sentence, the third elder sighed at his disciple but didn't find any words to say.
Because even if he were in his place, he would have done the same anyway.
”So, what do you want to suggest?”, the first elder asked the third elder.
”Instead of waiting for an attack on us, we will attack the Hammergust family?”, the third elder said with a cruel expression on his face.
”Sigh…..”, the First elder sighed at the words of the Third elder and sighed before shaking his head.
