"I shouldn't have been so honest, I apologize." Astaria turned towards Graner and nodded politely. "Y-You…" No words came out of Graner's mouth. These bastards! They… They were clearly making fun of him! Insignificant!? They dare call him insignificant!? He was a Sage! And a high-ranking member of Destiny! What did they take him for!? Did they think they could easily mess with someone like him just because they have that Grate Sage bitch backing them up? Also, this weak-looking bastard, did he say the Sword Girl was his wife!? He had his eyes on the Sword Girl first! How dare he steal her from him!? "How dar-" Graner wanted to reply, however, before he could, Nux interrupted, "Anyways, you see, even if you persistently anno- I mean, ask her to join your clan, I am afraid that is difficult, my wife will, of course, join my clan. Also, please don't be offended, but even I do not feel good about leaving my wife in your clan. Destiny… was it? I heard it is a clan that has been around for more than a century and still only has 5 Grate Sages… If we go by your speed, it would take you guys ages to achieve something significant. I apologize for being blunt, but if Star somehow joins your clan, you would only be a deadweight to her. That is something I cannot allow. So we would like to politely turn down your offer again, I ask for your understanding." Nux spoke politely. Then, he moved back and turned around with a gentle smile on his face. He was glad that he was able to take care of everything peacefully. He couldn't just go out picking fights with strangers now can he? He was a refined and noble man. "You… You bastard!!" Graner shouted in rage. This bastard! He was too shameless! Acting like he knows about his clan but actually has no clue what it is! Destiny has a rich history of 1639 years! But the problem was, Graner couldn't say it out loud. This bastard mocked him for only getting so far in 100 years, if he said that his clan has been registered for 16 centuries, it would make him look even worse. This bastard! He was too cunning! "Did you just say my Clan will be dead weight!?" Nux, who thought everything was solved already turned around with a slight frown on his face, "Did I perhaps not make it clear enough? I apologize for that. But yes, you got it, your Clan will be a dead weight, I did say that. Of course, you guys shouldn't lose hope. I mean, everyone has a different starting line, right? It's cute seeing you try so hard. I am sure you will achieve greatness soon, in like, 50-60 thousand years. Keep trying your best." Nux smiled and turned around again. Hearing his words, Graner was even more furious, "You bastard! You think you are some sort of big shot, aren't you!? Then how about you prove how much of a dead weight we actually are!? I challenge you to a one-on-one duel! Accept it and prove that you were not just spouting some random bullshit!" Graner shouted. "An Individual Duel?" Nux tilted his head. "Yes! Acc-" "Shut the fuck up, why are you shouting like an idiot?" Nux retorted. "Nux… he is actually one…" Astaria reminded. "I mean… I know but…" Nux didn't know what to say. Astaria's words made sense. "Haahh… whatever, shout how much ever you want then." "Accept my challenge, you bastard!" "I can't, it is a waste of time." Nux shook his head. Hearing his words, a wide smile appeared on Graner's face, "What? Chickening out?" "I can't believe Graner is shameless enough to challenge an Emperor while he is a Sage." "And look at him acting all mighty when he rejected him." "Heh, I wouldn't bother accepting either. What's the point? Didn't he already embarrass him? Insignificant. I now feel they are correct, Graner is too insignificant to bother with." "Hahaha~ You are right, I can't believe he even called out his clan. He is using the Order's rules to his advantage." "Graner finally found his match." "Match? That man humiliated Graner like it was nothing~" The crowd started laughing. Graner wasn't liked by others, and this time, the opponent he chose was way out of his league, In a battle of words, Nux was the worse possible opponent after all. Combined with Astaria's amazing support, Graner wouldn't be able to show his face here, unless, of course, he washes away this shame. And this is what he wanted to do. "Why were you talking so high and mighty when you were just going to shrink in fear?" "Look here, Ratface, unlike you, I actually have things to do, I am here because I wish to register my Clan, No actually, Now that I think about it, I can actually accept your challenge, 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 Let me register my clan, then, challenge me in a duel as a 'high-level member' of Destiny. I need some stepping stones to promote my own Clan. You will be perfect for that." "You…" Graner wanted to shout in rage, however, he held himself back, then, he took a deep breath, a small smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Alright, register your clan. I will raise a challenge as soon as you are done with it. I am sure you will all the publicity you need." 'I will destroy you, you bastard!' "Mhm, as I expected, you are actually a good person. It would have been hard to look for another stepping stone, thank you for your help." "Hahaha~ Sure Sure. Just register your clan." Graner laughed. Nux smiled, then, he turned towards the receptionist, and with a light smile on his face, he spoke, "I would like to register my clan." "H-How many members do you have in your clan?" The receptionist sitting on the counter had heard everything, he was surprised that Nux actually agreed to accept Graner's challenge. He wanted to stop him, however, it was not his place. "13, including me." Nux answered. "These… all of them are the members of your clan…?" The receptionist questioned with a curious look on his face. "That is correct, all these beautiful ladies are part of my clan." "G-Good for you." "Hm?" "I-I meant it is great. The members of your clan I mean. I wish you all the best of luck." "Thank you." Nux nodded. "I need you to write all the details of the members of your clan, their cultivation level, their age, their race, on this paper. Also, don't forget to write the name and details of the Clan Leader first. And don't worry, all the details you write will be absolutely secret, no one would know about it, even I won't read anything, I will just put this in the Divine Orb and it will do everything." "Even you won't read anything?" Nux questioned with a surprised look on his face. "The System the Ancestral Order works on is mysterious, Nux. They only need all this to rank our clan. And not even the Emperors can retrieve our information through the Ancestral Order. Don't worry, write everything down. Of course, write your name first." Melia spoke with a smile on her face. The receptionist was a little surprised to see that Melia, a Great Sage was actually not the Clan Leader, however, in the end, he had no right to say anything. It was their clan, they could do whatever they wanted. Nux nodded in understanding and quickly wrote everything down. "Hahaha~ To think I will be fighting the esteemed Clan Leader. I didn't expect that." Graner, on the other hand, started laughing. He was now looking forward to this battle even more than before. Nux completely ignored him, after writing his own details, he quickly wrote down his wives' details, then, he passed the paper to Aisha. Aisha pouted, she wanted Nux to write about her as well, however, in the end, she didn't cause any scenes. There was already an interesting scene going around here, after all. She quickly wrote the details and passed the paper to Melia. "Heh, the strongest one is filling in her details after everyone is done huh? As they say, the main characters come appears at the end." Skyla chuckled. Melia just smiled. "I am not the strongest." "Oh come on, you can't keep deceiving us, Sister Melia." Skyla glanced at Melia and commented. "Of course, we will catch up to you soon enough." "I am sure you will." 'I wouldn't be surprised if all of you surpass me…' Melia thought inwardly as she glanced at her 'sisters' She could see the ages they have written on the paper… 'These monsters… How did I get entangled with them…?' Melia couldn't help but wonder. In the end, she just sighed, wrote her details, and passed the paper to the receptionist. The receptionist received the paper and turned it around, showing that even he has not seen anything. "What will be the name of your clan?" The receptionist questioned. "ExceedoGenesis."
