"Wait before we begin, how were you able to even catch them in the first place?, I thought these assassins were trained to kill themselves if they ever get caught or sothing like that."
The voice of the fifth elder interrupted the patriarch, drawing his attention, He turned to his brother with a Frown, but realised he had a genuine expression on his face.
It beca clear that he wasn’t teasing or playing gas; he was genuinely curious about this matter, even though they were in the midst of sothing important, Sighing, the patriarch decided to answer the question.
"That one there,"
The patriarch pointed to one of the black-clad individuals inside the cage.
"He sneaked into the clan during the wave of demonic wolves, I had planned to join the rest of you when you went to resist the wave, but one of my sentries detected an unusual Mana fluctuation in the clan."
"Though it was faint, I was still able to pick up on it, indicating that soone had bypassed all our guards and found their way into our clan, I was pressed for ti and really wanted to go face the beast wave, leaving the intruder issue for soone else, Luckily, I was the last one to co out and defend against the wave, so I decided to take care of the intruder first before joining you all."
"After a thorough search, I managed to trace the man to the dungeon of our clan, His first action upon seeing was to attempt to kill himself, Witnessing this, I realized that whoever he was, he had valuable information about our clan, I quickly immobilized him and removed the poison from his jaws while also questioning him, However, he remained tight-lipped until I took him to the Marlen clan."
"Wait, you an you went to the vision clan’s Branch ?, As far as I know, they never help anybody," the second clan mber interjected.
"Yes, I did go there," the patriarch confird.
"Their patriarch owes a favor, and I exchanged it for unraveling the past few days’ mories of my captive, That was when I discovered that they were planning to et up sowhere in the city."
"I felt like it was finally my chance to catch that cunning fox, but who would have thought he ca prepared with a clone body, So, I was only left with the other man,"
the patriarch concluded his explanation, his hand moving towards the second captive whom he had obtained while trying to capture the sixth elder of the Fridall clan.
"I can’t believe he used a clone body, Are the Fridall clan really that rich, or is the person backing them so generous?"
The Fifth Elder sneered at the thought of anyone spending money to construct a clone body for a mid-term clan tactic scher.
However, the other Elders had a different perspective, especially the Grand Elder and the patriarch.
They were even more determined to kill the Fridall’s sixth elder and couldn’t care less about the rest, as they saw them as nothing more than a minor threat, like a barking puppy.
"What we really need to discuss is whether the clone body was created with a special ability or if it was rely a resource, Creating such a body is no easy feat"
"Especially within a short period of ti, when it’s being used to construct another person’s body you are not familiar with, Even if they are being backed by a powerful entity or an ancient clan, I doubt they would be willing to spend such an amount on a subordinate clan," the Grand Elder chid in.
After the Grand Elder finished speaking, all the Elders in the room fell into deep thought. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to think about it, but the topic was ntally exhausting. Stay tuned to .Côm
They had to accept the possibility that the Sixth Elder had awakened a special ability related to cloning, which would make him even more dangerous if he continued to work from the shadows and let his clone do all the dirty work.
No matter how many tis they killed the clone, he would just backtrack slightly in his plans, As soon as he recovered and earned enough to create a new body, he could continue his malevolent ways, The looks on the elders’ faces made the patriarch scowl.
"You all don’t have to worry that much, Don’t forget, it isn’t easy to construct a clone body, and even if it’s a special ability, there might be a backlash everyti a clone dies, Although I’m not sure how much it affects him, I made sure to trigger a ntal attack when I attacked his clone, For now, we can rest assured that he’ll be recuperating," the patriarch assured the others.
"What I want is for us to gather all the information we can from these two captives and lay an ambush for our friend,"
he continued, addressing the group, However, the Grand Elder frowned as he noticed the patriarch had not ntioned the City Hall or the City Lord even once.
"Don’t tell you’re not going to report and hand over these two to the city hall," the grand elder questioned imdiately, and The patriarch looked at him with a smile on his face.
"My genius brother, as always, you’re right on the spot, I’m not sending them to the city hall," he responded confidently.
"You know that’s wrong, right?, If they find out we kept this information from them, it could cause problems in the future," the grand elder expressed his concern.
"I don’t really care about them anymore, Not being able to provide with the Fridall patriarch, after I was the one who apprehended him, infuriated , And that old man who calls himself the city lord dares to threaten because he wants to use the Fridall patriarch to increase his rank? He has no honor," the patriarch exclaid, his frustration evident.
"My clan bled for this city, when Old Third was attacked, he couldn’t even overlook that and allow to kill that Fridall bastard or use him as bait, If that’s the case, then our relationship with the city hall ends."
" From this day onward, we’ll shut our doors to them, They owe us a five-month holiday from the Blood Moon wars, If they ask why we’re locking them out, we’ll say we’re still recuperating," the Patriarch declared firmly.
The scowl on the patriarch’s face grew nastier as he issued his orders.
"George, you’re cutting a bridge that you yourself built for so long!"
"I don’t care about that bastard at the city hall, he Draw the line first, Old Sixth, I’m leaving these two in your hands, This eting can’t continue anymore, I would have loved to take them to the Vision Clan, but I’ve exhausted my favors with them, I can only leave them in your hands, Let know if you find anything,"
the patriarch declared angrily before storming out of the eting hall.
The Grand Elder sighed, and the First Elder stood up as well.
"You can say all you want, but at the end of the day, he is still going to do what’s on his mind, If it were any of us lying there, he would do the sa, That’s how much he cares about us, We just have to be here and make sure he doesn’t lose himself to the coldness and anger in his heart,"
the First Elder explained, walking away. Though he had said it in general, everyone knew he was throwing jibes at the Grand Elder.
Even though the Patriarch of the Gordons Clan had not asked about Aurora, it was clear he was unhappy with the fact that the Grand Elder fought alongside soone whose clan might be responsible for the predicant of their Third brother.
