Chapter 196: Strategic Retreat


Date- 26 Mar 2321


Time- 13:35


Location- Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High


The Bright brother had only themself to blame for underestimating their enemy and losing so comically. But they were not convinced of this loss as they thought that If they had enough soul jades or rather just a single soul jade they would use it to reconstruct the body of the mountain giant and continue to fight. This time instead of underestimating their opponent and fighting head-on they would fight wisely. They were not heirs of their families to have the luxury to use soul jaded as they pleased. Soul jades could help them in their cultivation and breath through, even a single soul jade was a luxury to them. People see them and envy them for having access to all the resources of the Bright family but only the brothers knew that Bright family was a big family and had thousands of mouths to feed, without enough contribution they could just forget about receiving any resources. Therefore they accepted to be puppets used by their families to expand the family business into the underworld which is currently a monopoly of the circle and the Whiteburn family. This meant that if something went wrong the family would use them as scapegoats.


Seeing the last-ditch struggle of the three brothers I chucked and ordered the stone Viltronian t.i.tan to dig the ground and drag out the fleeing brothers. In the process of digging out the brothers safely, the schoolyard was ruined. Seeing a huge stone palm dig the mud ceiling of the tunnel the brothers who were angry and ashamed for fleeing after losing to someone whom they deemed as dead, suddenly turned pale in fright they wanted to struggle and feel but in front of absolute might, their measly strength was of no use.


Upon discovering the three brothers I ordered the Stone Viltronian t.i.tan to use stone manipulation to entrap them in a stone room and raise them to the ground. Reaching the ground the stone room trapping the brothers opened. The three brothers were already defeated, ashamed but now frightened by being greeted by a giant Stone Viltronian t.i.tan, 350 Stone Viltronian minions and finally me.


“I thought you guys wanted to kill me? So why are you guys fleeing?” I asked the brothers playfully.


“We did not flee, it was just a strategic retreat. You are strong! We heard your origin card was an eye-related skill card. But it seems you hid too deep. An origin card capable of summoning so many strong stone elementals is surely a strong origin card but not enough for you to survive tomorrow’s tournament. If not for me underestimating you maybe I would not be the one who lost.” Said the gla.s.ses blondie trying to hide their embarra.s.sment of feeling.


“Whatever the reason may be, you lost.” I was thinking of various ways to punish these guys but nothing seemed appropriate as they had already been defeated, were defenceless and showed no form of struggle. If I did not want to appear righteous to the people watching the stream recorded by the students I would not have a hard time pa.s.sing judgement on them but this did not mean I could let them off easy. They wanted to kill me to defend their patriarch’s honour then let’s use that.


“Yes, we lost so what now?” Said the gla.s.ses blondie shamelessly. As he was pretty confident about his family name and knew n.o.body would harm them knowing they belonged to the Bright family.


“Good I like people who understand their circ.u.mstances. Now let’s talk about the compensation for the emotional damage I received. Considering the members of your group ambushed me and then you three attempted to murder me. All in all you guys owe me 1000 soul jades each and another 1000 for the ambush. I am being considerate since you guys are the descendants of William” the last part was not necessary but I said that to aggravate them into doing something stupid. I need a reason to break these fuqers.


“Watch your tongue!” Shouted the slender blondie.


“What was that?” I asked with a glare.


Before Slender blondie could answer me again bulky blondie slapped him hard and apologised, “I am sorry my young brother did not mean any disrespect. It’s just that he is having a hard time believing that you know our patriarch.”


“Are you calling me a liar? Do I seem like a liar to you?” I asked exasperatedly.


“Yes!” Answered the slender blondie before his brother could react.


I glared at him hard and then I suddenly realised holding them ransom for 4000 soul jades was better than punis.h.i.+ng them. The more I thought the more I started to like the thought of gaining 4000 soul jades in exchange for these three brothers. After using about 15,000 soul jades to build the second transformation bodies for all my calamity daughter cores and investing 10,000 soul jades in the TSR guild I was left with 10,000 soul jades. Which was a lot but considering my spending habits that number would not last long. So I needed to find a source of income until Anna’s family starts making profits off of Silver milk powder.


“Fine, I will prove it.” Saying that turning on the speaker option in the grimoire I called William. Seeing me call their patriarch the trio jeered. They thought I was faking it.


‘Tring! Tring!…’


“Boy, this better be serious. I am in the middle of something important right now.” William picked my call before the third ring of the call could sound. Hearing his voice the trio were shocked. But before I could answer I heard Corey’s voice in the background, ‘Grandpa I don’t need you here please leave.’


“Brat speak, what is it? Is it about the unspoken bounty on your head or you betraying me?” Said William impatiently.


‘Unspoken Bounty’ ‘betrayal’ I knew about the unspoken bounty but betrayal, “When did I betray you?”


“You sat on a gold goose called silver milk powder. And never even consider sending a golden egg my way?” Apparently, William was unsatisfied about me not involving him in the silver milk powder project. I trusted Elliott and look where it got me. If I’d trusted William instead I would be dead already. William may seem like a granddaughter loving perverted old man but his nature was that of an old snake if I offered him an egg he will reach to swallow the whole goose.


“I will talk to Anna and see if she can involve your family in the supply chain.” I lied. The Bright family stood a better chance without my recommendation.


“Good, I will be waiting for good news. So why did you call me? ” William was overjoyed hearing my promise.
