"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."
"Haah!? Why does it matter who the leader is!?
So what if they have a Great Sage supporting them!?
Can that bitch be stronger than us!?
Stop spouting nonsense, Aiden!
Not simple my ass!
They might be a little strong for a new clan. A new clan starting with a Great Sage is great and all, but they shouldn't have challenged us.
They need to know their place.
And what congratulating them and wishing them luck?
We just need to destroy them!"
Miliana wasn't having any of it.
"I met the Great Sage of their Clan today."
Aiden didn't wish to reveal it, however, seeing the situation, he had to do it.
"So what? You fell in love with her? I heard that the women of that clan are quite beautiful. No, now that I think about it, I remember that man is being called the most handsome man in the City, isn't he?
Alright, let's do this,
We fight that clan, capture this woman and that man, you keep that woman, I keep the man, and if any one of us like some other members of that clan, we can capture them as well.
The Sword Girl is also part of that clan, right?
I heard Lord Vindan had his eyes on her for quite a while,
How about it, Lord Vindan? Are you interested?
I heard that woman is the Leader's wife.
It would be quite interesting to separate the two of them, won't it?"
Miliana spoke with a wide smile on her face.
Hearing her words, a small smile appeared on Vindan's face as well.
"Since we are already thinking of doing it, why don't we take it a step further?
Since all the members of that clan are known to be exceptionally beautiful, then why don't we take all of them?
Let's turn the ExceedoGenesis into our slaves,
That would not only wash away our shame but would also relieve some of the stress we have piled up after working for so many centuries.
What do you all say?"
"NO!"
Aiden, however, quickly shook his head.
He then turned towards Miliana and retorted,
"I did not fall for that woman or anything like that, don't assume things on your own,
I am saying that that woman is not simple.
I met her today, I looked into her eyes.
She is unfathomable!
There is no way she is an ordinary Vampire.
She could have joined any high-level clan with her strength, even joining Top Clans like Ace or even the Pandemonium, shouldn't be that hard.
But rather than joining those clans, she decided to join a completely new clan.
You think that that new clan would be a simple clan?
Do you really believe they would not have any secrets?"
Aiden asked a series of questions that forced Vindan to think.
"Aiden's words are correct, that clan cannot be that simple…"
Xavien spoke up after thinking about it.
"Then what do you suggest?"
Seeing that all the people were siding with Aiden's suggestion, Miliana turned towards Aiden and questioned with an annoyed look on her face.
"What do I suggest? Didn't I tell you already? It is best to resolve matters peacefully. There is no need for us to turn the ExceedoGenesis into our enemy."
Aiden spoke.
"I do not agree.
As a Member of Destiny, I would rather die than accept this.
What's the point of working so hard, gaining power and building our reputation, if, in the end, we have to bow our heads in front of some random new clan just because you 'looked into her eyes', huh?
What bullshit!
To think we are discussing so much when there is only 1 Great Sage within the opponent's rank. When do we act brazenly and confidently then? When the enemy clan is full of Master or Advances Stage Cultivators?
If we are that big of a cowards, then we might as well just disband our clan."
Miliana spoke in a harsh tone.
"You…"
Aiden wanted to retort.
However, in the end, he didn't have any words.
The opponent was only a single Great Sage Cultivator, even if she was a Vampire, she can't possibly go against 5 Great Sages on her own, right?
It was not like she was from a Vampire Earl or a Marquee.
All those Vampires never leave the Blood Continent.
The Destiny had 34 Sages, 84 Emperors, and over 500 other members.
Whether it was the cultivation stage or the number of members, they were stronger in all aspects.
For them to back out of a fight and take a 'peaceful' approach.
It would definitely be embarrassing.
Aiden understood all that, however,
For some reason, he still couldn't convince himself to go against ExceedoGenesis. Melia's eyes… he couldn't forget them…
No, Aiden wasn't in love…
That was far from love…
He…
He was scared…
"Alright, I understand where you are coming from, let's do this,
We still don't know anything about any of them.
First, let us learn about who they all are, and once we confirm that they are just random nobodies like we think they are,
We will crush them.
How about it?"
Aiden proposed.
"So you are saying that we wait for the Information Halls to gather information about them?"
Miliana questioned.
"That is correct."
"Aiden, what happened to you?
They are a new clan, unless someone requests it, the Information Halls won't bother about them, and even if we are the ones requesting it, it would take at least a month before they learn anything about them.
You think we would have any reason to challenge them a month later?
It would just look like we are some sore losers who can't handle the consequences of a defeat and are now trying to get revenge."
Xavien replied. Then, with a serious look on his face, he spoke,
"If we want to do something, we need to do it right now, or else forget about it."
"Alright, that's it, enough discussion,
We will take action tomorrow,
The ExceedoGenesis, we would destroy them."
With a cold look on his face, Vindan announced.
"And what about him?"
Miliana questioned as she pointed at Graner.
"Take him to the underground prison."
Vindan ordered and Graner's face paled in horror.
"N-NO! L-Lord Graner! Please No! Please spare me!
SPARE ME!!
DON'T TAKE ME THERE!!
I BEG YOU!!"
