231 Larken City (2/2)
”Who are you? I have never seen you, so you must be a mere outsider. You interfered in the rightful punishment we were giving to this criminal, so you should kill yourself right now in compensation.”
That guy didn't fear any outsider; he knew that killing any of them would be easy with his background; the True Larken Clan didn't want any outsiders, they were purists that didn't want to allow marriage between those who had the Sword Bloodline and those who didn't have it.
”If you plan to kill my fiancé, I just need to kill both of you, don't ever think to escape alive.”
Lar stepped at the front while saying those words and the faces of those two changed. They had heard that Lar wouldn't be able to return alive, but she was there perfectly well at that moment.
Moreover, her status was extremely high, so even if she went on a rampage and killed both of them, the clan would probably just forgive her; especially when they two had threatened to kill her fiancé. It was well-known the worries of the elders to make Lar marry due to her personality, and that killing a fiancé that she had already accepted would be a great crime in the eyes of the elders who didn't support the True Empire.
”The plan should have failed, those juniors of us are useless.”
Both of them were cursing on their minds.
”Considering Lar's reputation, I will let you off without any punishment, but you shall stop meddling in this matter. This kid shall pay for his crimes. Moreover, he hasn't any relationship with you.”
Both guys feared that they would be really killed on the spot if they dare to anger Lar; they were already at the 6-star Practitioner, but they weren't considered members of the younger generation as they were already more than thirty years old.
Thus, Herken could kill them easily if they tried to do something against Lar who was considered a treasure inside the Larken Clan.
”Kid, what is your name?”
Yale ignored the words of those two traitors and spoke with the kid who had been kicked on his face and was bleeding from his mouth and nose.
”Senior, thanks for your help. My name is Mercer Larken.”
Despite the pain he was feeling, the kid stood up and bowed towards Yale. He was very proud of being a member of the Larken Clan even if he was just an outside member.
”How did your father die?”
Yale had already guessed that just by looking at the lack of adult men in the outer Larken Clan, but he wanted to hear Mercer's version.
”A month ago he was sent on an urgent mission with almost all the other adult men of the outer clan. However, all of them died, and only the commander of that mission returned; he wasn't someone from the outer clan, nor a branch member, he was from the main clan. Oh, right! That commander is the father of the guy who kicked me, and the uncle of the other one.”
He had almost forgotten about that and would have never thought about that connection without Yale's question.
Officially, they were raided on the mission, and everyone died protecting the commander to let him complete the mission. However, the truth was that the commander had set a trap to kill all of them.
”Herken, it seems that the traitors are already exterminating people inside your Larken Clan. Send a message to Lar's grandfather and explain to him the whole situation, don't lose time. If the elders behind those two traitors come, they will try to kill all of us without asking any question.”
Herken nodded after receiving the Spiritual Sense message from Yale and left after leaving an incarnation there. That incarnation wasn't good, and anyone who put a bit of effort would discover that it was fake, but that was the best he could do as he didn't train too much that skill.
In fact, being able to create an incarnation of that level while being at the Veteran Rank could be considered very good, and he was capable of doing it thanks to a legacy he obtained.
