Chapter 613: Convincing Blackwade Clan
613 Convincing Blackwade Clan
Inside Blackwade Clan, specifically inside a red pavilion that stood out the most from its surroundings that had mostly green color.
The guards right in front of the red pavilion, 2-Star Martial Emperors, were just doing their usual patrol.
It was at this time; a small wind was blowing. Yet, the guards felt nothing as the wind carried something inside them.
The black ball that kept rolling out slowly turned into a shadow that moved inside the ground, bypa.s.sing the guards with utmost precision. Luckily, none of the guards had activated their domain or whatsoever, so they couldn"t notice this shadow.
The shadow slowly went through the door and made its way toward a specific room.
"Who are you?"
A male"s voice echoed from within the room. As expected from a Martial Saint, Nicole thought before turning into her human form.
"I have brought the words of my Master," Nicole said humbly.
"Your Master? This place should have been guarded heavily; how can you sneak inside?" The man waved his hand and let the door open, revealing a pink-haired woman outside. Although she was quite a beauty, it was like those pursued like crazy by l.u.s.ty men. Even so, it was like she had an attractive charm that pulled one"s heart away.
The woman smiled at him. "How I can sneak inside is an answer that can"t be answered. However, I am here in place of my master… And my master is the one who you hunt right now."
"Alexander Sirius?" The man furrowed his eyebrows, never expecting that this mysterious man had a subordinate like this. The fact that she could infiltrate the Blackwade Clan like this alone was already enough to throw the entire family.
"Exactly so." She smiled and politely bowed her head. "My Master wants you to stop the pursuit and break off the alliance with the Fire G.o.d Clan."
"Hmm?" He furrowed his eyebrows. "So, that"s what you mean… I"m not a person who likes to fight the unknown, and your sudden appearance here is already proving my first a.s.sumption. It seems this Alexander Sirius is not a push-over… After all, how can a mere peak Martial Emperor sneak inside the Blackwade Clan easily…"
Nicole didn"t say anything and earnestly looked at him.
"I also don"t like the idea of fighting but doesn"t mean I am scared. On what basis do you want me to support you?"
"Actually, our master wants the Blackwade Clan to break off the alliance, not because he is scared. He is just placing importance on his relations.h.i.+p with Song Yu from the Northern Continent Blackwade Clan. I"m afraid if push comes to shove, my master might torch the two influences to the ground." Nicole looked at him sharply, telling him that her words weren"t empty threats.
"We are just not retaliating yet." Nicole paused for a moment before saying, "I" m just a mere spy in the influence just because I don"t have enough strength. If we are truly revealing our true might, I don"t think Blackwade Clan wants to see that."
"Hoh… Woman, I am impressed by your skill. It"s not easy to infiltrate this place, but you can with a mere 10-Star Martial Emperor strength. However, do you think you can escape from me?" The successor revealed his 1-Star Martial Saint power, locking on Nicole.
Unfortunately, Nicole paid no heed of this suppression. Her face was still calm and acted composed. "I"m afraid you don"t want to do this…"
"You think so? I am stopping the war doesn"t mean you can use it to control me, especially with an empty threat like this!" The successor started getting angry.
"This is certainly not an empty threat. I have another thing that can make me convince you." Nicole gritted her teeth, feeling the pressure coming from him. "Blackwade Clan Supreme VIP Card!"
"!!!" The successor"s body shook as if he heard something unbelievable. "How did you know that name?"
"I had certainly known about it a long time ago. Supreme VIP Card from Blackwade Clan is the only VIP card that has a special status in the Blackwade Clan. It grants an honorary eld… No, it should be a Grand Elder rank here." Nicole smiled.
"You… You even know that. Who are you… No, who is your Master?" The successor was shocked to the core. "The Card shouldn"t exist in this world… Yet, you…"
Nicole smiled. "You are just blatantly telling me that Blackwade Clan is not from this world. And I think you have gotten the answer yourself."
Her words jolted his mind. "You are not from this world?"
Nicole didn"t answer him. Instead, she simply smiled and waved her hand, taking out a certain black card with two "V" on it.
"That… That is…" The successor couldn"t recover from his shock as Nicole threw it again and again.
"I have said earlier, this is not an empty threat. Instead, it is a friendly reminder. Having this card alone is already enough to prove our ident.i.ty. You must have a way to see whether this is real or fake, right? Unfortunately, my master doesn"t want to have this little card checked yet since he will bring it to you after resolving the entire situation." Nicole smirked.
"That…" The successor gritted his teeth. If he could check that card, it would be easier for him to decide which path he needed to choose. Unfortunately, this could only become a gamble for him.
However, he also couldn"t say it was a gamble. After all, the other party kept telling him that they were a normal influence and that they were from another world.
As the successor of this clan, he knew about the real power of this card. Even the Grand Elder couldn"t touch a person like this if they didn"t want to anger "those people", but if many began to know about this, he wondered if he could actually stop it.
"Woman… I want to ask you something." The successor narrowed his eyes.
"Let"s hear it." She nodded.
"Do you know who is in our back?"
"If they know our Master"s name, they will cower in fear. I believe it should be enough to narrow it into a few people… Nah, our master"s name is already as it is, there is no need for a clue." Nicole shook her head. She didn"t mind telling a portion of what she knew because Alex"s name had resounded through this world.
His name would continue growing like none other and created a huge spark. Sooner or later, everyone would know the meaning of his name, especially the Blackwade Clan. Just by showing the card to him was already giving a huge clue.
If they were smart, they would certainly check that name. By how Nicole acted like she knew everything and left a few clues about their real existence,?it had already diminished the doubt in their hearts by a large margin.
"As I said, it"s not an empty threat. If you think we are lying, you are free to check it… especially to those who are in control in your back or our back." Nicole smiled mysteriously.
The successor couldn"t say anything and only gritted his teeth. His body shook uncontrollably, thinking about the possibility of the future.
If she was right, then their Blackwade Clan might be screwed the moment they attacked Alex. If they were not, they would certainly lose big time. However, the latter had a very small chance after Nicole"s clues.
He thought about it and planned away to convince his grandfather and the grand elder if it was true.
Nicole knew that it worked pretty well. Although Alex forbade her from letting him check the card, he didn"t say anything about leaving any clues. Nicole could only tell the successor about it if she wanted to succeed.
"There is actually one more thing you need to be worried about." Nicole paused for a moment to grab his attention. "Even if you chase us, Drunken Pavilion will stop you."
"What did you mean by those words?" The successor tilted his head in confusion.
"I"m sure the mighty Blackwade Clan could investigate it themselves, so I won"t say anything about this. Besides, the answer will be clear when my Master decides to visit this continent." Nicole smirked.
"You.." The successor wanted to hit this woman once after revealing one secret after another. It could be said that he was proud of how he could remain calm in every situation. But it also meant how absurd this information was.
After all, this information had reached a level where it involved the entire fate of the Blackwade Clan.
"Then, since I have finished my duty, I will leave and not bother you again." Nicole smiled before disappearing.
If it were the calm him, he could easily prevent her from leaving and ask her a few questions. However, Nicole took advantage of his loss of composure to get away. She had revealed too much information at once, so it wouldn"t be good to reveal more, afraid Alex would be bothered with his previous life information.
The successor was left alone in a silent room, not having anyone to talk in this ordeal. He bit his lips and quickly went to another place to check the information.
...
The situation began turning in Alex"s favor. Yet, Blackwade Clan matter wasn"t the only one.
In the corner of Heavenly Continent stood tall a white tower piercing the sky. Below the tower, a man was walking on the sh.o.r.e.
"Training and training… Why do I always need to train?" The man whistled while strolling around the beach. "This is the only thing I can do right now to ease my stress. Unlike the other influences which gave a certain amount of freedom to their successor, I don"t have a single thing on me…
"Sucks to be me because I don"t have any purpose in my life other than cultivating. I"m bored…"
He continued ranting about his condition as if it was the only way to pent up his frustration.
A few moments later, he suddenly found a girl carried away by the waves. She had long blonde hair and a pet.i.te figure.
The man observed her with great interest as it was the first time he saw someone actually in this place.
Out of curiosity, he approached the female and checked her pulse, confirming her status.
"Hmm… She is not dead yet, but her pulse is weak. What kind of experience does she actually have?" He looked at the sea and furrowed his eyebrows. "This direction is from the Northern Continent, right? Did she cross the ocean? It"s something unbelievable as even Martial Saints don"t dare to cross it, let alone a Martial Emperor."
He looked at the unconscious woman with great interest. It was the first time he encountered something like this and smiled. "I should take this woman in then… I am bored anyway."
