242 Roanmad Clans Treason (1/2)

Swordmad would have never expected that the one who had saved them was his own disciple who had been missing for six years.

He knew very well Yale's age and even a genius in Imperial City would be unable to kill an army like the one that surrounded the Nacesai Academy being sixteen years old.

”Indeed. I am Yale. It has been a long time, master.”

Yale continued descending towards the ground, and Swordmad sensed Yale's current level, 8-star Practitioner Rank.

That level wasn't high compared with Swordmad's one because he was at the 9-star Elder in the Warrior Path and 4-star Elder in the Magus Path, but the fact that with such level he had such a fearful strength capable of destroying an army was something that Swordmad could only admire.

Moreover, having such a high level at his age was abnormal, even people who had received legacies didn't advance so quickly.

If he were to know that Yale had just made two breakthroughs while executing the previous attack, he would be unable to speak from the shock. Yale's ability to advance in level while battling was already famous in Sword City and surroundings, but it hadn't reached the far Nacesai City.

”You are really an abnormal disciple, but I can't say that I dislike that about you. Welcome back.”

Although Swordmad seemed to give Yale a warm welcome, he wasn't too happy about just meeting Yale at that moment because he didn't know how to explain that he let Ange being kidnapped and he was sure that would be the next thing that Yale would talk about.

”Where is Ange?”

Just as Swordmad expected, Yale hadn't appeared there randomly at the critical moment. Swordmad guessed that Yale had obtained the information from someone and rushed there to help.

”Sorry. She was kidnapped, they fooled even me.”

Swordmad didn't want to lie to Yale; he knew that Yale would only be angry afterward when he discovered the truth and telling lies about such important matters wasn't something that Swordmad liked to do because that was opposite to his straightforward nature.

”I am late. The Roanmad Clan is the one that kidnapped her, right?”

Swordmad nodded to that; the Roanmad Clan had completely fooled him.

”We should have exterminated them back then.”

Hatred could be sensed in Yale's eyes; he never had a good impression of the Roanmad Clan, but he didn't think that they would be traitors because his father was married to a member of the Zhan Clan who was considered a criminal by the True Zhan Clan.

”Maybe my mother was killed by my father? But why wait until I was born? This doesn't make sense; he would have also killed Ange and me if he had been on their side since the beginning.”

Yale was deeply pondering about that; he knew that his mother's death wasn't normal, but thinking that his father was a member of the True Empire from the start didn't make sense.

Moreover, in the information he received, the Roanmad Clan appeared as a cooperator for that scheme, but it didn't appear as a clan affiliated to them since ancient times like Heruk's Clan.

”I also regret hadn't taken measures back then. However, I investigated the matter, and not all the Roanmad Clan switched sides. Sadly those who refused to Ange's kidnap and to betray Nacesai City were killed mercilessly.”

The Roanmad Clan hadn't been part of the True Empire from the start, but some elders had some deals with groups belonging to the True Empire, so they used those connections to provoke that those elders made the Roanmad Clan change sides and killing anyone who opposed to it.

”The current clan head was the only one who wasn't killed despite opposing to them openly, but he is in prison, and they had turned into a symbol of the fate of those who disobeyed their orders. If he hadn't been eating poison with his food every day in the last years, his strength would have been able to stop the rebellion of the elders.”
