Seeing Fire Fist emperor shamelessly continue to persuade me to enter the Duskborn family even after giving the Duskborn an ultimatum for its destruction, I felt disdain towards the Duskborn family, “No matter what you say, my decision will not change. Please leave. We are about to discuss some sensitive issues.”
“Dalton, think about your mother. Don’t you want her to be buried next to her family rather than a stranger?” The Fire Fist emperor did not plan on leaving without a positive answer. What bothered him most was I did not make any demands of the Duskborn family and directly rejected their invitation. Showing no interest in entering their family. Why would I? Even if I chose to forget the revenge part, joining the Duskborn family, I stood to lose more, and the family stood to gain a lot. And I never make a losing deal.
“My mother has already proved that she is happy where my father is. So, I think she is happy being buried next to my father.” I did plan on burying Mama and Papa Wyatt in the Duskborn family ancestral graveyard. But when I do that, I want to bury the whole family, which forced them to their cruel fate.
“Dalton, blood is thicker than water. No matter what, you can only depend on family. Nothing is as safe as home. Please think twice before you make any decision.” Saying that the Fire Fist emperor activated his family bloodline to unearth the blood connection between him and me.
“Interesting way to use DNA with soul energy.” Feeling the faint connection between the Fire Fist emperor and me, I was astonished.
“Somethings wrong. I feel another blood connection other than you two?” The Fire Fist emperor felt an extra blood connection 9ther than the Axe emperor and me. Spooked, he added, “Do you have a sibling? But according to the information I got, Ellen has only one son. No, this blood connection is from Brandon’s generation.”
“You must be detecting Kathy. She is my mother’s step-sister. And Three-eyed emperor’s illegitimate daughter. Let me warn you, she is my last family member. So don’t have any thoughts about her” I said this to clarify to the Duskborn family that Kathy is my person and any harm to her would not be tolerated.
“I see, don’t worry. We are not here for her but for you. Dalton, you feel that connection between us. That’s a blood connection. No matter what you claim, you can never erase this connection between us. So, come home, Dalton. Let us protect you.” The Fire Fist emperor spoke big words, but he showed nothing to back his words.
Forgetting the revenge part, when they got an opportunity to protect me, these people were the most unreliable. I still remember them arguing about who gets to report to Anna about my death without seeking revenge or mourning my unfortunate departure.
Just a few minutes ago, he sold me to the Heatsend royal family for rights to become one of the distributors of silver milk powder in the capital. Despite all this evidence pointing contrary to his claim, the Fire first emperor still shamelessly continued to persuade me. His persuasion was becoming annoying. Irritated, I turned to Anna and said, “Anna, I want you to stop any cooperation between your family and the Duskborn family right away. And I have things to discuss with you. Can you see your guests out?”
“Wyatt…” Anna wanted to say something but chose not to, and turning to Fire first emperor, she declared, “You heard him, now leave.”
“But, your highness….” The Fire Fist emperor tried to reason with Anna, but she glared at him and yelled, “I said leave.”
“Thank you, your highness. I will take my leave now.” Seeing no room for reasoning, the Fire first emperor chose to retreat. And decided to tackle this matter from another angle.
So what if he can’t persuade his grandnephew? He decided to convince his brother’s illegitimate daughter seeing how his grandnephew seemed to care about her. All head to do was lure the hen the chick would follow. Thinking of this, the Fire Fist emperor carried his injured nephew and excited the VIP box.
“…” Seeing the Fire Fist emperor leave, I sneered. These people did not apologize for their part in the persecution of the Wyatt couple; instead, they tried to shift the blame and glorify their ancestry log and graveyard. I think they will like it when they are nothing but names in the ancestry log and get to eternally sleep 7 feet under in their ancestral graveyard.
“So, what did you want to discuss about?” After the Fire Fist emperor left, Anna asked curiously. This part I liked about Anna as she always gave importance to what I had to say.
“It’s about the security detail of the Silver Beach gate dungeon. Who is guarding it?” I asked this because I planned to have Anna build a southern watch military facility here in sky blossom city to protect the dungeon. While they are at it, they can guard me too. This way, I do not have to leave Sky Blossom city and not abandon my card boutique and TSR guild.
“About that, we are planning to transport the entire dungeon to a secure location. Fortunately, it is a low-rank gate dungeon. If it were a field dungeon or a high-rank dungeon, we would have to make other arrangements.” Instead of Anna, Luna explained the Heatsend Royal family’s plans for the Silver Beach Gate Dungeon.
“What? Can you do that? How is that possible? Why haven’t I heard of it?” I exclaimed, hearing that they planned to transport the gate dungeon to a more secure location. Fook, this meant all my plans of having Anna build a Southern Watch military facility in Sky Blossom city hit a dead end even before I set the plan in motion. So much for me trying to come up with ways to avoid going into hiding.
