The Story Of Dusk

The end of the story would be easy to read, as there would bunches of people who demanded Elder Dam to be punished and the Emperor would take this opportunity to give Elder Dam a death sentence.

Once they had gotten rid of Elder Dam, they would put w.a.n.g Yu as the new leader and restored the black sword clan"s name.

"… more or less, that is their plan…" Gong Xu explain his theory toward Senja after he read the secret information that he got from his spy and after Senja told her about the letter between her father and the Emperor.

"… I hope one day I have an opportunity to kill my father." Senja gritted her teeth.

Though, what Gong Xu told her was a theory, but reality went along with his prediction, after all he was raised by the mastermind of this schemed, more or less he knew his own father"s train of thought.

Now people had started to condemn Elder Dam and there were some people who would throw rotten fruit to their gates.

People started to become violence and that would never be a good sign.

"I hope the same too…" Gong Xu agreed as he caressed Senja"s head. "We need to make our move too."

Senja furrowed her eyebrows. "Your plan is perfect, but the only thing that we lack is; we don"t have someone who will carry the mission, someone who powerful enough to convince thousand people."

Gong Xu frowned, he didn"t agree with Senja"s statement. "We don"t need that kind of person, because you can carry out the mission just fine."

Senja shook her head vigorously, clearly disagreed with him. "I have told you that I don"t want to get involved in this. People barely see me and know me. I am like a ghost, people don"t know about me."

"They want the cure and we will give the cure, as simple as that." Gong Xu shrugged. "Do you think both of us can provide the ingredients for the antidote for thousand people out there?"

Senja knew they needed help, but she didn"t want to be the person who would be the center of attention, once she came out and said she had found the antidote, people would start to recognize her.

She didn"t want unnecessary attention and for Gong Xu? It was more impossible for him to announce his existence to the public, it was like inviting hundred of a.s.sa.s.sins who hate you to your house.

"No, but why it has to be me?" Senja still reluctant.

"If the antidote is not coming from black sword clan, then your grandfather and this clan will not be able to restore their name even though those people are cured." Gong Xu said sternly. "So, stop being stubborn, go out there and tell your grandfather that you know the antidote."

What Gong Xu said was right, if the antidote wasn"t coming from Elder Dam then everything would be a waste.

The Emperor had tarnished this clan name and its leader, thus he needed to learn his lesson too. Won the people"s heart would do.

"What if grandfather becomes suspicious and asks me a lot of question about the antidote? And I can"t answer it? After all I am not a doctor." Senja was being nervous now. She didn"t want to face his grandfather.

"You have spent your days in this library for years! Just treat this as the result of that." Gong Xu was getting frustrated by Senja stubbornness. She was really annoying when she reluctant to do something, it was so hard to convince her. "Do you want to wait until there was a motion asking to sentence your grandfather to death?"

"Of course not, you know exactly what my concern is." Senja shouted angrily.

"So, what are you waiting for now? Wait for me to wipe out your hesitation?" Gong Xu taunted her.

"Alright, alright! I will do it!" Senja was giving up.

"Good, go now!"

***

It has been three days since Elder Dam, w.a.n.g Yu and Xiao Jun arrived in this M city, now they spent most of their time inside Elder Dam"s study room to discuss what the step that they should do.

They had been investigating about the source of the illness and the symptoms, they also had gathered all the best doctor from this country to find the antidote, but until today there was still not worth- hearing progress.

The precautions that the military had taken caused commotion and rejection from people and now, there were some city had started to revolt because of the tension between the two parties.

Xiao Tianyao was in L city, where the people had started to become physical because of the quarantine that was ordered for them.

Sick people would be separated from their family, no matter what age and gender. They would be gathered in one building to be observed by the physician in charge there.

While the healthy people were not allowed to leave the village under any circ.u.mstances, to prevent the disease spread to the other area and made it worse.

However, this restriction sparked the conflict between the villagers, who wanted to move to the other city and saved their own life, and the military people.

The tension of the situation was palpable and the fear on those people"s eyes were obvious.

"Grandfather, can I talk to you for awhile?" Senja asked when she entered Elder Dam"s study room.

There was only Elder Dam and Xiao Jun there.

"Sure, come in my child." Elder Dam waved at Senja to sit next to him, while Xiao Jun immediately excused himself with the reason he would update the information about the antidote.

"What do you want to say my child?" Elder Dam looked so tired as his eyes became red because of lack of sleep and rest.

Senja was hesitated, she didn"t use to chat with her grandfather, that was why it was hard for her to initiate the conversation.

Elder Dam also realized this thing and became curious about what Senja was going to say, one could say that Senja almost never came to look for him.

"You need to take rest, your eyes are getting red." Senja pointed his eyes.

In the other hand, Elder Dam chuckled upon hearing his granddaughter"s concern about him. "Grandfather is fine. No need to worry."

"Senja is glad to hear that." Senja said politely, the words from her sounded like she wasn"t his granddaughter and only an acquaintance instead.

"How is the matter with the disease?" Senja asked in low voice.

"It"s alright now, we have found the antidote." Elder Dam said, but his eyes didn"t show that he was relief. "Grandfather will be able to retire soon." His eyes were gloomy when he said that.

"You have found the antidote? Is that the group of physician who has found it?" Senja was slightly taken aback by this news.

However, Elder Dam shook his head as he said. "No, it is a clan named L clan that had found the antidote of the disease."

"L clan?" Senja didn"t believe with what she heard. How L clan found the antidote?
