Chapter 1479 - Meeting
Three days later.
Gail just got back from an expedition to find poisons and went to hand over them to Sam.
"I don"t know what you are going to do with these poisons, but you better be careful. Even if they don"t kill me, I am still terrified of most of them."
"Don"t worry. I will be extremely careful with them.
But I need to ask, where did you even these poisons from? They are very rare."
"There is a place nearby Divine Graveyard and place within the graveyard that thrives with venomous creatures and poisonous vegetation. The most dangerous poisons I know, always come from that spot."
"That"s great then. Please keep them coming. I can always find a use for them."
"Whatever you say. Anyway, I am going back to the cat."
"Well, it is about time. Don"t be discouraged if it doesn"t want to come through. It might take some more time for a beast like that to accept these things. You can always take a break for a few more days and go back to try your luck."
"I don"t know Sam. It almost feels like this is a waste of time. The cat is acting way too stubborn. I feel like I should be focusing on something else."
"Don"t worry. All the benefits you can bring to the clan would be worth less than bringing the sonic cat to be your ally in a long term goal.
You are one of the strongest people in the world that I am aware of and a cat that could kick your a.s.s so many times is something of a force on itself. If you bring that cat, your clan has an extra you. Think of it that way."
"But it is taking too much of my time. I really don"t think the rest of the organizations would be holding back anymore.
The fear from the Bain clan"s destruction goes away. It doesn"t stay long enough to keep them at bay forever.
And even though we toned down the attacks on the clans a bit, they are still a bit agitated over this."
"But those attacks are keeping them at bay. Since you are confident enough to attack multiple clans and organizations at the same time, they are hesitant to attack you.
Luckily for us they cannot find partners until now. We need to maintain this status quo for at least another month.
After that, even if we go on completely defensive, we wouldn"t be having any problem."
"That would be difficult. Because the organizations are already moving."
Gamin suddenly entered and said.
The clan"s leader is also along with him. Both Gail and Sam frowned.
The clan"s leader took a deep breath and explained.
"Gamin"s informants found something odd in some of the organizations in the last few days.
Particularly in the Star eye sect.
Some elders are making contact with other organizations at a rapid pace. The properties in many of the Star eye sect territories are changing hands.
They are giving out a lot of their riches and power in exchange for the muscle to deal with us.
Of course, it is speculation, but when I went to one of the locations to find the Grand elder of the star eye sect, Not only could I not find him, I also couldn"t find any other people from the start eye sect there.
The workers and owners of the place, changed overnight and they are definitely not related to the Star eye sect. After some beating, I realized they are a subordinate organization of the Mari Clan.
Star eye sect is really paying huge to get these people on their side."
"But why all of a sudden?"
Gail asked with a frown.
He is way too familiar with the Star eye sect to not recognize something is wrong.
Star eye sect is an organization where selfish intent matter more than anything. They managed to fool more than a dozen organizations just to fulfil their personal agenda of capturing these gifted kids.
They didn"t care what the consequences would be for the rest of the organizations and they didn"t even think too much about what they would do after they are caught.
They just proceeded with it.
For such an organization, to offer their properties and authority just like that, it is something to think about.
Gail looked at Gamin and was about to say something, but Gamin interrupted.
"Yuvana wants to investigate this on her own. I will stay in the clan. So, you can go to that cat.
But you better tame it this time. Yuvana has been controlling the urge to make some jokes about the failures of your cat. If you don"t tame it, they are going to explode all at the same time. You know how sharp her tongue could be."
"Are you sure you can handle it yourself?"
"Saran is still here. And some of Sam"s things are already ready to go. I want to see how those things work too.
In fact, I am kind of tempted by the idea of someone coming now. And some beasts we caught, they are also itching to show their frustration on someone else.
We are not as weak as you think.
So, go there and finish the task."
Gail nodded after some hesitation and left.
He directly went to the cat"s place and this time, he wanted to stay for a bit longer time than usual.
Yuvana already left to investigate what is happening with the Star eye sect while Gamin and Saran are prepared to defend any attacks that are coming at them.
Meanwhile, in the city where the Star eye sect"s headquarters is located.
Within a house in one of the biggest estates there.
It is the house of a Core elder of the Star eye sect and currently, this person has the power of a grand elder more or less.
He is having a meeting with a bunch of other people.
They are all from different sects and organizations.
He served them all wine by himself as he spoke.
"The orders from the Divine league arrived and I did all I could with my newfound authority.
How far did you come with convincing your organizations? Until now only half of you jumped in and the rest are off.
We cannot have that much disparity when we are attacking the Gaja clan.
I got the news that the orders are directly from the G.o.dfather himself, so we need to make sure that all organizations are joined together on this."
A young woman chuckled and replied.
"It is not going to happen. My sect doesn"t want to get in on this. Star eye sect screwed them over a very big time. They lost two Grand elders until now and Gamin beat the c.r.a.p out of the sect leader and the remaining grand elder.
The most I can do is manipulate a few core elders to get things done here and there. If you need spies, I can get you. But the direct attack on Gaja clan? I am sorry. I am out of options in that area."
The man in charge nodded and said.
"Alright then, send all of the spies you can and any resources you can also help."
"Our clan is going to agree to this. The business deal is almost done, all the star eye sect needs to do is increase the whole price by a mine. The young master who is signing the deal wants some credit that he increased the price even just a bit compared to the young master of another clan who signed the deal.
As long as you give him that ego boost, the deal is signed."
A middle-aged man said from the side.
"I killed a couple of women that the grand elder loved and made it seem like Gaja clan did it. I managed to convince him that the reason they died is that he went into hiding in fear of Gail.
I even publicized the information within the sect. Now every woman within the clan is rejecting him. He cannot stand that. He will be joining this, but you need to send a representative from the Sect to ask for help."
A middle-aged woman chimed in.
Similarly for the next two hours, everyone gave out an account of what their situation is.
The man noted down every possible information that could be used to make the organization sign in the deal.
After he was done, he went into the Star eye sect and held another meeting there.
"I managed to obtain some of the information from my sources, as long as we can take out some more money from our pockets and lose more properties we will be able to attract a few more organizations.
Once they are involved, the Gaja clan wouldn"t have any other choice but to be eliminated."
"We cannot do that. We already sold out forty per cent of our properties. We will lose our footing in a large sect if we do that. Some of our elders might even defect us."
The sect leader said helplessly.
