Chapter 70



“That bastard! Grrr...I will skin that kid alive...and feed his body...and entrails to the magic beast!” He gritted his teeth while cursing. His eyes glinted with enmity towards the person who sent him a letter.

Seconds later, the sturdy wooden door of the room was suddenly slammed open. Two figures were sniffed out of it. A man at his forties and a woman at her thirties that looks like in her twenties only, they were stepping in haste towards the table where the elder was sitting beside it.

Upon seeing the two figures, the elder straitened his back, cleared his throat, and hastily swiped the overflowed tea using a piece of cloth he usually used to rub his face.

“Janrui, Jao, why the two of you in haste? What is the matter, my beloved daughter, and son...?” Elder Grenn questioned the two personnel who came inside his chamber.

“Father, why you are acting calm?” The woman named Janrui worriedly questioned Elder Grenn.

“Father, we heard from one of our people that someone sent you a death threat letter,” the man named Jao followed up.

‘What?! Who that dumb who blurted out about it? Grr, I will kill him together with that worm kid! I told them to zipper their mouths about it!’ The elder furiously thought.

.....

“And also father, why there’s a carriage full of corpses outside the manor’s gate this morning?” Janrui added.

The Elder coughed once to get rid of the saliva blocking his throat.

‘That insolent worm... I’ll make you pay a million times and make you regret that you chose to live than die in silence!” He was furiously thinking of how to torture the person who was the reason for his bad temper at the very moment.

“You two, don’t mind it, it’s not a big deal, you know that our competitors always trying to target our family, especially now that the ranking month is coming. Don’t worry I assure you that they won’t succeed whatever they were planning to do in this family! Ohoho...ahem— about those corpses, they were not from our people. I’m guessing the enemy mistook them as our family assassins,” Elder Grenn trying to convince his son and daughter.

Janrui knitted her brows. She was doubting her father’s words. In fact, their family was one of the bottom ranking family in the 13 great families, and there were only two other families below them, but she knew that those two lower families were silent for many years, and did not participate with the power struggle of the top families. Besides, even if they participate, it was weird that they would choose to target their family. Since the family of lowest rank the rank I and II were located in the southern part of the empire, while their family was located in the northern part. And there were no enmities towards these three families.

The only possible enemy was the rank IV family located on the western part of the empire. But that family was busy fighting with the family of rank V. The rank VI family was fighting the rank VII family. The rank VIII was their faithful allied family. And IX family has no reason to target their family. The X family stayed neutral while the XI, XII, and XIII family were fighting for supremacy. These three families had the power to wipe out any of the families from the lower rank.

The weirdest thing she had noticed, why would their Grenn family be the target? It should be the main family of the Gentlewind family. Which was the Davila family of the Patriarch.

So the only possible enemy that would challenge their family was the other elders of their family. But Janrui was not sure of it.

She was thinking that her father was hiding the truth.

‘But why would he do that? He had a secret that doesn’t want his family to know?’ Janrui thought.

Aside from that, the death threat letter could not be taken lightly.

“Father, we should call back some of our strongest soldiers from the frontline.” Janrui suggested. She doesn’t feel good about the letter.

“Ohoho, I know that you are worried about me, Janrui my beloved daughter. But we can’t call them back from the frontline. After all, they were all doing great in that place. Their results will be a good plus to advance our family into a rank IV family. If that happened, The Grenn family will have a higher chance to become the first in the line of our Gentlewind lineage,” the elder denied her suggestion.

“Father is right, Sister Rui, although that threat is a pressing issue, there are many ways to solve it. After all, we still have many Silver-Grade Magician in here and there are you and our Butler Mr. Fem which is both Gold-Grade Magician. That many are enough I think. And if not, we can also hire some Gold-Grade magician in Guardian Guild,” Jao agreed to his father and explained to his sister.

Janrui thought that his brother was right. She was a Gold-Grade Magician and their Butler as well and there were a number of Silver-Grade Magicians currently guarding their manor. But even so...she had a bad feeling.

“Then, father, please allow me to read the letter,” she asked her father.

Elder Grenn narrowed his eyes upon noticing the seriousness of his daughter’s words.

“Sorry, Janrui, my beloved daughter, the letter, I already trashed it, I found it hilarious and unimportant so I decided to throw it, ohoho. Anyway, no need to be bothered by it. It just a tantrum of someone who wanted our family’s attention. So don’t mind it,” Elder Grenn reasoned out.

“What—” Janrui was surprised by his father’s unaffected behavior.

“Aside from that, Jao, I needed to talk to your son,” Elder Grenn purposely changed the topic.

“Oh, Jura, was currently at the academy, Father, he said he would be seeing some of his friends,” Jao replied.

“Is that so...”

“Yes, father!”

After his daughter and son left, Elder Grenn balled his hand into a fist.

“Mr. Fem?” He called out to their butler. But inside the room, there was only him and no one else.

“Yes, Elder Grenn?”

Yet, a voice suddenly replied. Next second his body materialized from the dark shade of the room. He was slowly stepping to his side. Based on his figure, he was in his 30’s. With a lean body that stood about 5’8 feet tall and wearing a black suit.

“Prepare a carriage for me, we’re heading out.”

Elder Grenn ordered.

“Yes, Elder!”

‘I will be going to silent that kid tonight!’ The elder thought.
