235 Meeting With Lashar (2/2)
”Then you should know that all the factions of the three guys of our group that didn't return are traitors. Moreover, I doubt that they are the only ones. I can detect the others, but I need to be near them. I will need your help to do it.”
Cleaning the Larken Clan of traitors was the first step in Yale's plan. After all, he wouldn't be able to relax in a place surrounded by traitors that might try to kill him at any moment.
”Wait. Before saying anything else, I still want you to reply to my previous question about the Sword God. I understand that you didn't reply to the question in public, but here we are alone.”
Lashar was very curious about that topic; she wondered why the Sword god had chosen a member of the Zhan Clan instead of one of the Larken Clan as inheritor.
Yale sighed as he knew that hiding the truth wouldn't benefit him in that situation.
”This shall be our secret. I really don't want to reveal this too much, but Revgen already knows it, and I will also need your help from now on. This sword is a soul-bound item; there is no way to be used by anyone who doesn't have the original owner's soul.”
Lashar knew about soul-bound items, so she was completely frozen when hearing Yale's words. She was extremely good seeing through lies, and she could ensure that Yale was telling the truth or was the best liar in the world.
”You are...”
Before she could say anything else, Yale interrupted her.
”Don't need to say it. I feel that is alright as long you understood the meaning of that. Now, do you understand why should I be treated as the founder?”
Lashar nodded; she might be a Law Master, but she had deep veneration towards the founders of the clan.
Before, she still had problems to treat Yale truly as the clan founder; given her status and power she wouldn't bow or kneel in front of a young man like Yale, but after learning his true identity, her disposition changed completely.
She stood up from her chair and then kneeled in front of Yale.
”Following the orders of my ancestors, I recognize you as someone with the same status of the Larken Clan founder.”
She was an extremely prideful woman, but she was also someone with a huge sense of honor and felt ashamed because she hadn't paid her respects earlier. If Yale had truly been just a legacy inheritor it would have been alright, but Yale was the reincarnation of her own ancestor, so she regretted her lack of modals before.
”Stand up. People will start to think that there happens something strange if they saw you.”
No matter if those were orders from the clan founder, no one would believe that Lashar kneeled towards a member of the younger generation for such reason; treating him better than the elders was already a lot.
There wasn't anyone else in that mansion, but Yale felt that if that turned into a custom, someone would discover it someday.
”Understood. If I am allowed to ask, what relationship the Sword God had with the Zhan Clan?”
Even if Yale was a reincarnation and not a legacy inheritor, she still wanted to know why he was in the Zhan Clan instead of the Larken Clan. As for the fact that she learned that his soul was dissipating, she thought it was fake information to protect the secret of the reincarnation.
”The Sword God is the ancestor of the Larken Clan, the Zhan Clan, and the Kurk Clan.”
Lashar was surprised about that, but after thinking it a bit, it wasn't that strange. Even herself had children with a lot of different powerful men and had her own harem, so the fact that the Sword God had three different lines of descendants didn't seem too weird.
”I understand, the Sword God is really amazing. It is sad that all your women died with their souls dissipated. If you feel lonely I am ready to give my body to you; I am sure our children will have powerful bloodlines, and the Larken Clan will be benefited by it.”
Most men would have been tempted by a cold beauty starting to act in an alluring way, but Yale ignored her.
”Forget it. I am not interested. Moreover, although the other two are really dead, the founder of the Larken Clan is alive.”
Yale wanted to divert her attention quickly; he didn't want to have any special relationship with a woman like Lashar. To her, Yale was the ancestor who helped the founder to create the Larken Clan, so she thought that if she managed to have some children with him, the Larken Clan would have another golden era.
