Chapter 779 - Discussion

One month later.

Under the pavilion where the Fire God Clan's leader met the Ancient Blue Family's head, two people seemed to be discussing an important matter.

"This needs to be stopped! Those guys are going to destroy this continent if we let them free like this." An old woman slammed the table. Normally, the people from Snow White Mountain tended to have a cold personality or at least a neutral personality because of their disciplines. Unfortunately, the woman didn't have that kind of patient due to the stress from the previous incident. "Clan Head Leo! You want to fight Spirit Nest together right? Fine! I will join your alliance."

"Yes. However, you need to calm down first. I know how frustrating it is to deal with the Spirit Nest… Even our Fire God Clan paid a huge price for underestimating that person." Leo, the leader of the Fire God Clan, raised his hand and waved it a few times, asking her to stop her action. "We can talk about this when the Ancient Blue Family's Davi comes. During this time, I want you to calm yourself."

"Fine." The woman sneered as she rose from her seat and walked around the pavilion, watching the green scenery and fishes in the pond.

A single influence had played them to this current state.

Two hours later.

Davi walked inside the garden and watched the woman's frustrated expression and the disappointed expression from Leo.

"To think Liza has arrived first even though the invitation comes from the Fire God Clan." Davi walked in a cheerful voice.

"Oh! You have come! We want to talk about something important today, and it will be in secret. Hence, I apologize for the lack of banquet for this discussion since I can't afford to make the situation worse." Leo stood up and smiled.

"Hmph! The invitation came from me, old man. I only asked Clan Leader Leo to deal with it." Liza sneered before glaring at Leo to start the discussion as soon as possible.

"Since that is the case, I am wondering what kind of incident you experienced to even invite me here." Except for the notice about the talk, Davi didn't get any information about what Alex did. Alex had two reasons for doing this. Davi would look less suspicious, and his action would flow more naturally.

"The Spirit Nest attacked her a month ago, so I have sent the invitation to you as soon as possible because we need to deal with the Spirit Nest right now, lest they will become the threat of this world… And I believe it won't be long." Leo nodded with a serious expression.

"Ho?!" Davi narrowed his eyes.

"I have sent the proposal to you… So, I want to formally invite you again. Will you join our side and defeat Alexander Sirius along with his Spirit Nest?" Leoz asked and stretched his hand.

"Hmm?! You have known me for so long, so I am sure you know what I want right?" Davi frowned, trying to act as greedy as possible like how he usually did.

"I know. Since I can't say anything about the Sacrificial Element and my own son, I have prepared a separate reward. You must know that our opponent wouldn't be only the Spirit Nest right?"

"Yes. From what I have found until today, the Blackwade Clan and the Drunken Pavilion seems to have joined his side." Davi nodded. On the other hand, his inside was burning with disgust as he snorted. 'You are going to be played when the fourth influence appears. At that time, your death is nothing but assured.'

"That's why I have this proposal. I will take half of the original loot while the other half is split among you two."

"Bullsh*t!" Davi smacked the table as he glared at Leo. "We only get a fourth while you get half? Are you kidding me?"

"That's right. This is an equal alliance. I don't agree with this split!" Liza also rejected the idea.

"That's why I have prepared another condition for this fight." Leo suddenly released his killing intent as he said coldly. "My Fire God Clan has a grudge against this Spirit Nest the longest. That's why we are going to mobilize everything, including our treasure. Even if we are broke after this, I won't mind!"

'It's come.' Davi thought. Alex seemed to have expected something like this, so he sent that letter. 'Now the problem is how angry Leo is right now? If the resentment is too big, even with all tricks at my disposal, I doubt I can stop him. Should I probe him?'

Davi looked at Leo for a few seconds before asking. "So, you are going to bring all your treasures for this fight?"

"Yes. We have several many Array Masters as well. Although half of them have defected, the other half remains in this family and have prepared to fight to the end." Leo nodded. "That's why no matter what price I need to pay, Spirit Nest will go down in this fight. Because of that, I want fifty percent of whatever we can get from the three influences, including the disciples!"

"Disciples?" Davi narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. My Fire God Clan has been declining for the past few years, so I need a new batch of disciples. I will recruit a few disciples from those three influences and enslave the rest."

"So, you are aiming at the Spirit Nest's people? I know they have many powerful youngsters…"

"Hmph! You are a greedy bastard. Your greed is bigger than this King of Greed Davi." Liza snorted.

"Oi, old woman. I am not a King of Greed. I simply see everything from pros and cons, including the benefits. I just do the most logical thing to do." Davi shrugged as if he wasn't offended by her words.

"Anyway… If we manage to capture all those people, we will split them among ourselves according to the previous proportion. Our Fire God Clan will also have the right to choose first." Leo stopped them and continued.

"I don't like it." Davi glared at Leo. "This won't benefit my influence that much. I want the split to be at least forty to thirty to thirty. Since you have sacrificed that much, I don't mind giving you the forty along with the right to choose first."

"!!!" Liza narrowed her eyes. As expected from Davi, his greed knows no bound.

"No. I have calculated the proportion carefully, and I believe that it is already too high for you. Unlike my influence, the two of you only need to mobilize your elders and disciples. The Blackwade Clan and the Drunken Pavilion must be the same since they will only mobilize at maximum half of their number." Leo shook his head as he wouldn't budge on this offer.

"You don't know this yet, but I also have calculated that my proposal is the best… No, we can even have this one… Forty to thirty-five to twenty-five. I will be the thirty-five." Davi nodded.

"Oi! Are you kidding me?!" Obviously, the one who couldn't take it anymore wasn't Leo, but Liza.

"Let me finish first." Davi stopped them before his eyes flashed a dangerous glint. "My son, Rio, has managed to fulfill our long wish and become the strongest beastly power cultivator. It has been spread among the family, so we can get a result soon.

"As for Rio himself, who was the first to become this, his strength has improved thirty percent. I believe he can even fight against 4-Star Martial Saint on equal ground. Imagine if I bring five thousand of them at once or even more?" Davi grinned.

There was no need for him to continue because Leo and Liza could imagine it themselves. Davi would be a force to be reckoned with, so him asking for a larger cut seemed to have some basis.

The only problem would be Snow White Mountain. After having five of their elders and their ancestor killed, what kind of price would they pay to bring the Spirit Nest down.

Liza gritted her teeth as she slammed the table. "I will only bring half of my force because that guy is so cunning. I am afraid they will attack my influence when I am not there! I am fine with that share since this is the maximum I can spare for this war."

She didn't know why, but the ancestor's face flashed in her mind. Even though she was unwilling to die, the ancestor died with a smile on her face. She was baffled because of that and thought there must be something wrong. Hence, he suspected the Spirit Nest doing something hidden.

At the same time, not many people knew it was their ancestor that died. Most people only knew that Rhione died and Letizia defected from the influence. As much as she wanted to risk it all, she couldn't do it because of that particular reason.

Davi was slightly disappointed by Liza's reaction, but she seemed to have calmed a bit. It was a shame that they couldn't destroy the Snow White Mountain thoroughly, but half… It wouldn't be too bad.

With the Space Element, they could trap everyone and hit the remaining people of Snow White Mountain there. On the other hand, if he incited too much from Liza, he would become suspicious. Hence, he could only give this report to Alexander Sirius later.

Knowing this, he finally opened his trump card for this discussion. "I have one piece of information that will surely pique your interest."

"What is it?" Leo frowned.

Davi smirked as he placed a paper on the table, letting them read the information.

The two read it carefully before their expression gradually turned solemn. "Is this true?"

"Yes. Do you think I didn't do anything for the past few years? I have been investigating him as well, including his friends on the Willow Continent. With only a few elites, I believe he won't be able to withstand the power of the three influences. If you bring more people in this war, I believe we can suppress the other two influences quicker." Davi grinned.

Little did they know that the information on the paper was the information that Alex wrote himself. He knew what kind of information that could be revealed and which one couldn't. Davi hoped that the Snow White Mountain would take this bait to make the cleaning process go quicker.

The two thought for a moment before Liza suddenly asked. "I want to confirm it again. Are you sure that this information is right?"

"Yes. And I have confirmed it by seeing that Alexander Sirius in person." Davi smirked.

"What?!" Leo and Liza stood up as they looked at Davi with a shocked expression.

"You should know about my principle in doing something like this. I always welcome everyone to make a deal with me. Unfortunately, that guy will give me only Spirit Crystals and peace for a century… Such a cheapskate." Davi snorted as he saw the doubt within these two people, so he added. "With Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Davi, didn't tell a lie just now."

"This is to let you know that I am not joking with you. Compared to what you two offer, this seems to be more profitable for me. Besides, with this kind of strength, I don't have a huge percentage of winning. That's why I am taking this invitation of yours." Davi smirked.

He didn't include the second part in his Heavenly Oath simply because he lied in that profitable theme and the probability of Alex winning. Of course, he didn't tell them about the extra condition as well. After all, lying and not telling everything are two different things, and he just did the latter.

However, these two people recognized that Davi didn't lie about the trade and Alex's strength.

"If that were the case, I can lend you two-third of my Snow White Mountain since I still need the rest to protect the influence." Liza was the first one to buy it. Although she wanted to doubt Davi, that Heavenly Oath really had a huge impact.

As for Leo, he only nodded. "Alright. I will go with that."

"Haha! Let's profit together. Anyway, since we have agreed to do this, we should pose the bounty on Alexander Sirius's head along with the other influences."

"No need." Leo shook his head and placed a paper on the table.
