282 My Friends Canst Be Bullied (1/2)
Yale looked towards Ange, but seeing that she wasn't angered by Krienek's actions, he decided to let the matter go.
He had also noticed the Krienek didn't have any bad intention, or else he wouldn't have only threatened him.
”If you have nothing else to say. Can we continue with the important topic?”
Krienek nodded without uttering a word for fear to offend Yale again. Yale had already said to continue speaking about important matters before, but Krienek ended up acting like a pervert due to his careless words, and unconscious actions.
”I bet that you already have a rough idea about those who are opposing you, but probably you still don't understand the truth behind it.”
At that moment, Yale started explaining everything about the True Empire to Krienek. The information was way too shocking and surpassed Krienek's expectations; he would have never thought that there was such a big plot to destroy the Revgen Empire completely.
Kermu and Serka were even more shocked than Krienek because both of them had noticed that there was something amiss lately, but their information was far lacking compared with the information obtained by Krienek.
However, the worst part for them was when they heard how Hyrk appeared in front of the Royal Palace half dead with a deadly poison hidden in his body.
Even though they also heard Yale had saved his life and dispelled the poison, they couldn't be at ease because Yale also told them that he couldn't do anything about the damage in Hyrk's soul.
They weren't too knowledgeable about souls, but Yale explained the problems that Hyrk would have to face due to that damage, so the rage of Kermu and Serka towards the Hyeran Clan was unmeasurable.
Although Krienek knew who Hyrk was and felt sorry for him, he was more worried about the fact that a whole noble clan had betrayed the Revgen Empire. That wasn't because he was heartless or didn't care for the good friend of his disciple, but because he didn't consider Hyrk's life has any importance in the stability of the empire. On the other hand, the Hyeran Clan was a noble clan, one of the pillars supporting the empire, and the fact one noble clan betrayed the empire was a serious matter.
”I understand your urgency in killing all the traitors inside our clan. It would be a tragedy if they managed to obtain the control of the clan.”
After hearing Yale, Krienek already understood that the problem in his clan needed to be solved quickly.
”That is right. Moreover, we need to kill them without letting any news about this matter filter to the outside. Who knows what those traitors could do if they noticed that we are breaking their plans bit a bit.”
Yale knew that it was impossible to suppress the news forever, but at least he hoped to suppress them a bit more to be able to also deal with the Tofesh Clan and the Zhan Clan.
”To shut down the clan, I will need a valid reason, or those traitors will be alarmed. Usually only if an important matter is about to happen in the clan, I can isolate the clan temporally from the outside. Sadly, there isn't anything I can do about it right now.”
Krienek felt powerless due to his lack of authority; if the other noble clans knew that Krienek couldn't even close the doors of his clan when he considered that it should be done, he would become the laughingstock for the other clan heads. After all, he was the only one who was a clan head but was unable to obtain absolute authority in the clan.
”Master, if there is a need of an important matter to happen to isolate the clan, there is one. You have been rejecting it for quite a long time because you feared it.”
When Kermu heard that his master didn't mention about that matter, he decided to remind it to him. In fact, Krienek hadn't forgotten about it, but he hid it for Kermu's sake.
”Kermu, tell me about that.”
Yale was able to notice that Krienek was hiding something from him, so he directly asked Kermu who seemed to know about the topic.
