Alex was akin to the boogie man in the eyes of a lot of people, and at the moment he had a personal fight with a well known Automobile industry. Normally it would have been better if they had talked things out, but it was obvious Alex wanted to spill someone"s blood, and because he was the one who had been offended, n.o.body could really get up to defend the Aenz company. Besides the Airship was not perfect, contrary to what the company had told them, there were too many flaws with the airship and no one else but Alex could actually fly it.
"Alexander! Stay your spear and calm your heart, I"m sure the Aenz automobile industry would be willing to pay compensation to the Wudang sect for slighting you, but we shouldn"t burn all our bridges and give them a chance to do so." Alex raised his head up to look at Red dragon, the way he looked at the man who was leagues stronger than he was, was like Red Dragon was nothing but dirt in his eyes. Alex didn"t feel the need to reply to him, but Red dragon was playing politics and trying to reap where he did not sow.
If the Aenz company decided to compensate Alex and just as Red Dragon said, compensate the Wudang sect by extension, he would be putting food on the plate of his enemies. It would be the Wudang sect that would be compensated, not the Zhang clan, and that was not something he wanted. Red Dragon was sky, with the way he had spoken it made it seem as if without a doubt the Aenz group were in the wrong. So he was standing up for his step-son, making it seem as if an offense against Alex was an Offense against the Wudang sect.
Well normally that preconception wouldn"t be wrong, but the Wudang sect was not under the control of the Zhang clan as it has been for years since it"s inception. The Imperial Lu family mostly controlled everything, with the Zhang family have split control, causing a stalemate. No matter how prettily he dressed his words, Red dragon was an enemy and Alex would not let him be edit from his hands.
"This is my personal matter Red Dragon, not one that my family and our sect has to get involved in. Of course should the Aenz group prove too difficult for me to handle, it wouldn"t be too late to visit upon them the wrath of the Zhang clan, and if it"s necessary, the entire power of the Wudang sect itself! And if that doesn"t work, then the full force of the empire of heaven! But I"m pretty sure these people would not let it come to that, so quickly give me my airship and the things I have bought, and show me which one of you has to die today, my thirst for blood had been aroused!"
Alex didn"t really have any plans to kill anyone, he was trying to make them afraid and it was working. He had no intention of being nice or merciful, people would walk all-over his head if he did that. But sometimes killing was unnecessary, and just your words were enough to win even the toughest of fights.
Their secrets were exposed, and not unless they wanted to bring about the destruction of their company, they will quickly bend over and kiss his a.s.s! No matter how powerful a company they were, they weren"t the Zhang clan. Or even worse...the imperial family.
"Childe Spirit Wind, please we ask for your mercy and forbearance. We see the error of our ways and realize we should never have done this in the first place, we"ll see to it that the appropriate parties are punished. We would also compensate everyone here for wasting their time, with special limited edition Aircars from our stock for next year"s exhibit.
Childe we will wholeheartedly hand over the airship to you, also you can have the Automobile sets you won the auction for freely and without charge. We"ll tender a formal and very public apology to you and also add in an extra 20 million gold to show our sincerity. Please if there"s anything else that would calm your anger please tell us?"
They were kissing his a.s.s alright, and quite a few people didn"t like it. The second prince for one felt the need to rip Alex to shreds, and Red Dragon wanted to do more than that and put Alex"s body in a giant meat grinder.
Alex has experienced meteoric rise after meteoric rise ever since he stepped into cultivation scene a year and the half ago. His name wasn"t that well known yet, but it wouldn"t be too much of a stretch to say he was know all-over the world, and every prominent organization, sect, school or hidden power had a profile on him.
He truly was the Golden child of heaven, and the terrifying devil of h.e.l.l. Alex posed a threat to both the second prince and Red Dragon, what was even worse was the fact that he wasn"t actively trying to screw them over, but everything he does seems to make him shine brighter, and the brighter he shone, the darker their futures and ambitions became.
Alex was hope for the Zhang clan, and the Zhang clan was the only clan closet to old world n.o.bility before the Lu clan came and took over.
But Alex didn"t know they had this thoughts and even if he did, he wasn"t sure he would care that much.
Regardless of how much power they had, they couldn"t kill him, and even if they sent someone with enough power to kill him, there would be people waiting in the shadows to show them the meaning of real pain. Alex knew the shadow guards were still around watching over his every move and would come out to save him should he ever face insurmountable odds, but considering how he always had a trick to pull and survive, Alex doubted there would ever be a need for them to act.
"Do as you have said and don"t go back on your words! You have one hour to deliver, anything more than that and I"ll hunt each and every single on of you down and flay you in front of your family and loved ones." With that said Alex left, the Wraiths circling high above everyone dived down and disappeared into his shadow, Similarly Devonte and Khan turned into streaks of light that vanished into his body. Louis and Cross still Kaiser, stood up and followed him outside, and as he left, everyone there felt as if some sort of invisible pressure was lifted off their shoulders.

Alex didn"t have to wait long before they showed up, he gave them an hour, but they had everything ready in under twenty five minutes. Alex had no idea why Louis and Cross wanted to keep their ident.i.ties hidden as they still had on their masks, but nevertheless all three of them were now standing in front of the airship hidden behind the formation. Alex looked at the two people mainly responsible for making it, watching as they deactivated the formation and a majestic sight was unfolded in front of Alex.
Her frame was a dark midnight blue, from her landing gears all the way to the main body of the Airship she looked amazing. For one, she didn"t look like a ship, instead she looked like a clam, a clam sh.e.l.led like an arrow Head with it"s two bottom parts spread out a bit to give the shape of wings. The rear had a ma.s.sive exhaust, which should be making responsible for the boost in speed, but there were a couple of smaller exhaust points under the ship and it"s wings for maneuverability.
Windshield that was tinted, golden highlights, that was gradient and showed the name of the ship when you moved from left to right. It showed The Divine Empress and then Morgana depending on where your head was turned at the moment. And she was huge, ma.s.sive, it was like looking at a flying fortress. Alex watched as the workers of the Aenz group began moving the three thunder G.o.ds Automobile sets into the ship, he was almost impatient to get into it.
"You know you"ve gotten a lot more sinister and wiser since we met...…I hardly recognize you anymore." Louis said to him as they kept watching, Alex turned to him and asked.
"Is that a bad thing?" the way Louis had phrased it, had Alex thinking that maybe he had done something wrong. Honestly he didn"t even notice he had changed, and he didn"t Understand how of in what way.
"Not necessarily young Master, you used to be quite innocent and young and good, maybe a little bit naïve and not wise to the way the Wulin worked. You didn"t talk much but you were sunny, you could make people gravitate towards you and feel safe. Now you"re cold, you hardly laugh anymore, you kill easily and you"re too rational.
It doesn"t matter how this turned out, I knew you were prepared to slaughter everyone in the Aenz group. But even with all of these changes, the new you isn"t so bad. You"re focused, smarter, wiser, stronger, even kinder than before, and people still feel the need to gravitate towards you. Only you don"t give off the same safe feeling anymore, like as long they"re with you, they"ll be protected. Instead you make us feel powerful, like there"s nothing in this world we can"t face or destroy...…you make us…..me! Want to die for you.
That"s a lot of responsibility Young Master, so I hope you don"t lose yourself. Because in the end you should never forget the one thing that separates you from your enemies even if fate and life wants to snuff it out."
"And what might that be Louis?" Alex asked confused but at the same time shaken.
"Goodness! Never forget that you are a good person! Nothing else matters, not revenge, not power! It"s because you"re good that I and everyone else are willing to die for you. Keep being good!"
