Chapter 1480 - Ivin
The sect leader of the Star eye sect is having a hard time.
Before he could even rejoice by the fact that he managed to gain power as a sect leader this early then he had expected, he was. .h.i.t with the reality.
Gail came here as he pleased and created havoc before leaving as he pleased.
He had to stay on his toes every single second. Apart from that, there is this pressure from the rest of the organizations.
After the Bain clan foolishly got destroyed in the wounded Gaja clan"s hands, the rest of the organizations turned to the Star eye sect to take care of the Gaja clan.
They are going back on business deals, severed partnerships, held people hostage.
A lot of s.h.i.t hit him at the same moment.
As he was trying to cope with it, days went past and at the current moment, he looked at the most promising core elder in front of him.
Core elder Ivin.
The same man conducted a meeting a few hours ago with a bunch of people from different organizations. The lackey of the divine league.
Of course, the clan leader doesn"t know it.
He looked at Ivin who is waiting for a reply with a solemn face and thought of all the things that happened within the past few days, three days in particular.
For some reason, he managed to find out ways to ally with the other organizations. He managed to obtain information regarding what would appease the other organizations and found contacts inside that could convince their higher-ups by hook or crook.
But in the process, the star eye sect lost forty per cent of their properties within the three days and some of them even included the secret properties that were under the hands of some other elders, senior elders and core elders.
Some even in the hands of future prospects to be the leader of the sect.
This guy always knew which key person in what organization can convince the whole organization and also had a very good idea about what that person needed in order to make the deal.
Within three days, the sect lost so much. But in exchange of course they got contracts and oaths that they wouldn"t attack the star eye sect after the Gaja clan"s situation is cleared.
At first, he was pretty excited when they roped in one clan after another. He was really glad that he could feel some relief from this.
But before he could think of further plans, Ivin came up with more and more deals and he signed them up.
Weirdly enough, whenever he was met with resistance, he always managed to gain the support of enough elders and senior elders to gain the vote and sign the deal.
Even that was okay to some extent. But things went out of hand. Ivin always had information on all the properties that are under the sect. Even the secret properties held by different elders, and youngsters.
So, if any organization member that they need to convince needed anything from these secret places, he always brought it up and put everyone on the spot.
Some elders lost all kinds of h.o.a.rded riches. Some even became penniless because of that.
Some elders lost the properties that they earned with their blood, sweat and tears. Some didn"t lose anything. At least not yet.
This caused some serious discord within the organization. If not for the perilous situation in front of them, they would have come to blows.
In this process, they already lost forty per cent before they even realized it. Now Ivin is asking them to give up even more.
This is something that shouldn"t happen at any cost.
Even the star eye sect weakens itself to this extent, even if the other organization do not attack them after the Gaja clan"s situation, they would be in too much of an abyss to save themselves.
They would not have enough resources left to survive.
Looking at the sect leader"s expression, Ivin is sure that he wouldn"t agree at all. But he has a trick up his sleeve.
"Elder Dan."
He spoke and another core elder stood up with a grim face.
"Sect leader. I have a stray realm under my control and it is actually very resourceful. If I hand that over along with a few mines, we will be able to afford the support of the Reaper sect. This would give us better odds.
I am willing to sacrifice for the sect."
"The stray realm is partially owned by the sect. Don"t speak as if you are the one that owns it completely."
"I know it is partially owned by the clan, but I am the one that discovered and conquered it. I definitely have a right."
"No, you don"t."
A dispute started and it went on for twenty minutes and Ivin called out some backup. Before the sect leader could even catch up to what is happening, it was decided that the stray realm and few mines that are under the sect"s control are going to be sold to the reaper clan in exchange for their grand elder to partic.i.p.ate in the attack against the Gaja clan."
"By the way, sect leader. I spoke to the representatives of the other organizations, they are expecting the attack to begin in the next three days.
Here are the proposals I have for the rest of the organizations. After a series of tense negotiations, I managed to convince them of these prices.
Of course, it is going to place a huge burden on the sect"s finances for some time. But at least we would be having a winning chance.
Also, you cannot delay the attack for long.
Otherwise, the other organizations might pull out.
I will order the divisions to start preparing for the attack."
Before the sect leader could even speak up and find reasons to object the meeting has ended.
Ivin went back to his estate and met with the representatives.
"Reaper clan is in. The deal will be signed. Bring the representatives here by tomorrow morning. The rest of the people who got the deals should also bring their representatives by tomorrow evening.
We are planning the attack right away."
"Ivin, don"t you think you are moving a bit too fast? I mean, with your behaviour things would be investigated by your sect members. It is bound to happen. Even we are trying to be as subtle as possible.
But to move these people by tomorrow, is bound to cost us some things that are going to expose our ident.i.ties.
Do we really need to do this?"
"If you want to showcase your loyalty to the divine league, you better do what I told you guys.
I, as a high-level member of the Divine league, has been a lowly spy for years and even I am not feeling any loss over busting my ident.i.ty. What right do you guys have to do that?
I want every one of you to bring your members here by tomorrow.
By the night of the day after tomorrow, we are going to war and you are also partic.i.p.ating. We are going to destroy the Gaja clan no matter what and we are capturing those four children and offering them to G.o.dfather.
Do you understand?"
