*Bam* *Clank* "You Idiot!! To let a completely new Clan walk all over our clan like that!? What is this I am hearing!? You challenged an Emperor to a Duel using our Clan name and got defeated!? A Sage challenging an Emperor is already a stain on our clan but to think you lost! You lost against an Emperor!? And that too in front of the crowd that you invited and even paid for their ticket price! If you had to make a joke out of yourself, then do that. Why did you have to drag Destiny with you!? You son of a whore! I'll make you pay for what you have done!" A man with long black hair and brown eyes threw a Jar at the wall in rage. He had hard sharp features, and a well-built body, he had a handsome face, however, right now, his expression was distorted due to anger. He was Vindan Jailser, the Leader of the Destiny Clan. He had built his clan from scratch and had brought it to where it is right now. It was not done in a day or two, it was a long process where he failed, succeeded, failed, and succeeded again and again. He worked for his clan all his life, planning, killing, challenging, competing, he did all that. Honestly, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he valued his clan more than he values his children or wives. And today… His Clan had been turned into a complete joke, and that too, because of a single duel. The moment Vindan heard about the events that had folded, his anger surged. Everything was just too humiliating! This bastard! Vindan really wanted to tear this Graner into countless pieces right now. If looks could kill, Graner would have died more than a thousand times already. Graner, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled in fear. Vindan was a Peak Great Sage, someone like him was directing all his anger at a mere Sage like him… Graner's face was already pale and he was having difficulty in breathing. Honestly, Graner truly wished that Vindan kills him in anger. At the very least, it would be a swift death. Vindan was a leader of his Clan, how could he not know what type of person he was? Vindan is a cruel, ruthless man who never forgets any grudge. Honestly, if it weren't for Aiden who captured him and brought him here, Garden was planning to run away. Vindan would definitely not let him live after what he did. And from the way Vindan was looking at him, Grander could tell that he won't die an easy death either. Vindan was definitely thinking about the most painful ways of killing him. The more Graner thought about him, the more his body trembled in fear and sweated profusely. He cursed the man who was responsible for all this, however, the moment he recalled Nux's face when was about to shoot that Fire Spell right on his face, hairs on the back of his neck stood up in fear. "Lord Vindan." Suddenly, someone spoke up. Everyone turned around and their eyes fell on a man wearing white clothes, he had brown hair and black eyes, however, unlike everyone else in the room, he had a calm smile on his face. He was the Third Great Sage of the Density, Xavien Rolls. "Before thinking about how to dispose of this waste, we need to think about the countermeasures." Vindan wasn't annoyed that he was interrupted, he glanced at his trusted subordinate, signaling him to continue, "Even if we kill this idiot, we wouldn't be able to cover what happened today. People are talking. Our reputation is taking a hit and it is already affecting our business. If we don't take any actions soon, things might get worse." "What do you suggest?" Vindan questioned. "What is there to suggest? ExceedoGenesis. In the end, the ones who gained the most from today's battle were those guys. We need to destroy them. Destiny destroys ExceedoGenesis, the new clan that dared to bare their fangs at them. That is the only way to wash this shame and restore our former glory." Miliana Thundre, the fourth Great Sage of Destiny spoke up. She was a fierce woman with red hair and bloodthirsty red eyes. She was one of the most beautiful women in the City, however, even then, no men dared to approach her. She was just that scary. "Destroy them?" Vindan narrowed his eyes. "She is not wrong, Lord Vindan. That is indeed the only way, we need to at least push them to the point where all of them come out and bow their heads in front of us, publicly." Xavien nodded. "So we need to suppress a completely new clan?" Vindan questioned. "That is the only option." Xavien nodded. "Heh, I can't believe our clan fell to this point." Vindan chuckled. "We… don't really have to do that…" Suddenly, Aiden, the Vice Leader of Destiny spoke up. Vindan glanced at Aiden and narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?" "Rather than going against them, we can just simply congratulate ExceedoGenesis and tell Graner to apologize to them for acting out like that on his own behalf. Then, we just have to praise them as a new, rising clan and wish them the best of luck from a higher standpoint. If we do it correctly, then rather than weak, it would look like our clan is forgiving and generous. This would not only rebuild our image, it might even improve it even further." "Haaah? What kind of weak-ass response is that!? Why should we, Destiny, come forward? Aiden, did watching the battle under the hot sun mess with your bald head or something?" Miliana questioned in a rude tone. "That is indeed not a fitting response, Aiden. Why are you suggesting something so passive like that?" Vindan questioned with a frown on his face. "This is just a more logical solution, Lord Vindan. Think about this, what's the point of going after the new ExceedoGenesis? Would it really restore our reputation? Won't it just look like the Strong bullying the Weak? Also… ExceedoGenesis is not as simple as it looks…" Aiden muttered. "Huh? What do you mean?" Vindan frowned. "They also have a Great Sage in their Clan," Aiden reported. "Huh? But didn't they say the one he fought against was the Leader of the clan?" "That is true, the Leader of the Clan is an Emperor Stage Cultivator, however, they not only have a Great Sage, but also 2 Sages in their Clan." "So how did a mere Emperor become the Leader?" Vindan couldn't help but question. Aiden, however, shook his head. "I do not know what they are thinking."
