Two Months pa.s.sed.
Gaja Clan main estate.
Inside a mansion, in the private bedroom, a middle-aged man sat on the chair while a middle-aged woman leaned on the headboard while she laid on her side as she looked at Migron who is pacing back and forth in the middle of the room like a cat that got its feet hurt.
"What happened my dear son? You said you need to talk to me, but you are just pacing around. Tell me what do you need?"
Migron"s mother asked as she looked at her son.
"Come on now. Tell us what you need or get out." Migron"s father looked at his son and said impatiently.
"I feel like I am in some trouble. The deal I made with Grivon seemed to have more than that meets the eye."
"What happened?"
"I managed to deal with the organization that we targeted and just like how Grivon mentioned, things went smoothly. There are many problems because that guy who owns the organization really did send measly troops and most of the time, they are trying to just survive there, they didn"t even manage to defeat us at all.
And when I saw deeper into the organizational structure, I must say it is rotten. Even though the whole thing looked st.u.r.dy from the outside, the key figures that keep the foundation strong were all pushovers. The whole organization is about to collapse internally and from the looks of it there are some small merchant groups and other small organizations that are just there in the process of taking over this organization by dividing it into small pieces."
"So, what is the problem? It might have only become easier for you to take over that place."
"Yes, but it seems like I have a target on my back. Because of my presence, all of these small organizations that were already in a cooperative agreement suddenly became closer and banded together to go against me.
They knew my ident.i.ty, but they didn"t back down at all. In fact, they became more aggressive and started attacking my troops. To my surprise, their forces are stronger than the forces that belonged to the organization I just took over.
Now, because of this, my forces are stuck in that realm without a way out. If I bring them back, the place I took over with so much effort would be gone and I don"t even know what will happen if I don"t take them back.
I don"t know if I would be the winner at the end."
"What about Grivon? Did you talk to him about this?"
"Yes, I did. But he is slapping with the same words I used on him. I asked or rather demanded him to not interfere in the rest of the realms" matters and I only asked him to deal with one planet which he wanted from the start.
Now, he is saying that he wouldn"t interfere outside of that planet and he would solve any crisis that might involve that planet."
Migron"s mother frowned and went into deep thought. But she couldn"t think of any solutions that come to her mind immediately.
"I will think of the matter. Leave the details with my maid outside, I will look over and think of a solution."
"Yes, Mother."
With that Migron left the room. The father finally heaved a sigh and joined his wife in bed, who is teasing him coyly.
While Migron was left frustrated, Grivon is also having a meeting with Sam.
But this one is full of cheerful atmosphere and both of them are downing some hard liquor.
"I can"t believe the plan went smoother than we planned. Sivan is currently all over Migron and most of his troops are locked over in that realm. If he calls them back, not only would he suffer the losses in manpower, but all the resources he expended for the battle would also be a waste expense.
I just hope that he wouldn"t figure out that it was I who did this to him soon."
"Don"t worry, if you play your cards right, he wouldn"t be able to find out at all. Anyway, Sivan is not going to let him off that easily for the new few months or even years if Migron is persistent, so he would have his hands full."
Sam said as he took a sip from his wine.
He couldn"t help but smile and when he imagined the look on Sivan"s face, he couldn"t help but smile even more.
The whole plan was actually made to make Sivan and Migron fight each other.
The organization that Grivon used to entice Migron is indeed an organization under the control of one of the young masters of the Mari Clan, but Sivan has been trying to take over that organization for years.
He infiltrated the organization with many of his spies and made it rot from inside, all the small organizations and merchant groups that are trying to take over that organization are all under Sivan"s control.
He wanted to use those small organizations as the cover and take over before merging together once again.
But as his efforts were about to bear fruit, Migron suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took over the organization, but it is not just that, while Migron is taking over, Grivon"s secret troops are taking over another batch of small organizations that are connected with the small organizations that Migron is fighting now.
Since Grivon acted secretly and securely without revealing his footprints anywhere, the blame fell on Migron which is why Sivan is retaliating in full force making Migron run to his mother.
But that is not all. The information tip Sam wanted Grivon to spread to the informant of Sivan played a huge role and currently, Sivan is having the most frustrating time in a while.
In the Mari Clan.
Sivan is also downing liquor crazily and he is downing poison liquor taking advantage of the poison immunity of the body.
The poison liquor is extremely hard and is good for drunkards who are extremely used to drinking, of course, granted that they are immune to it, they can really enjoy it.
But now, he is not enjoying a single drop of it. All he has in the front is the stack of doc.u.ments that are related to Migron"s invasion into his territory.
He looked through them and wanted to tear Migron apart immediately.
The most frustrating part is information that he heard in the middle of this war.
The information stated that Grivon the young master of the Gaja clan who took over one of the twelve foundational organizations of Sivan got the information regarding these organizations from Migron himself.
The information is detailed, and it further stated that Migron gave up the tip because of the favor he owed to Grivon. After some further investigation, it was noted that Migron is a troublemaker and always tried to go after the businesses of his peers but always managed to blow up the matter, making him owe a lot of things to a lot of people and in process of that he gave Grivon this tip by enticing him with the credit of taking down a Mari Clan"s secret organization.
Sivan didn"t want to believe this at first, but soon he couldn"t help but agree that this might be the case.
He wanted to go after Grivon and already started digging deeper for some more dirt, but he was unable to find much and he couldn"t reach Grivon, because he is actively partic.i.p.ating in the academy construction.
And to his surprise, the academy curriculum which he obtained with great efforts matched the academy curriculum he obtained from Sam"s memories he gained recently.
In that part of the soul, he managed to gain the memories of Sam"s first Palace of inheritance experience, the war against the emperor Orion, and finally gaining the city as a reward. He got the construction plan of the city as well as the academy along with all the rules and curriculum he placed on the academy.
Sivan thought that Grivon might be the one in touch with Sam when he looked at this, after all, he destroyed one of the organizations and now the academy came into being, but before he could take action, he got the information regarding Migron being the one giving the information away.
As if to solidify that, he came across the news that Vydon one of the three successor prospects that are likely to win started the park project.
With all of these leads, Sivan believed that Migron might be the one who is in touch with Sam and he is now selling ideas of Sam as a favor while he offered protection to him.
So, he went and dug deeper into Migron"s past and when he realized how many times his mother saved his a.s.s, he couldn"t help but feel that he is the most likely candidate.
This made his retaliation a lot harsher than it would have been.
