Chapter 998: Plan II

The third young master who was still in shock walked to his separate residence he prepared for himself in the outskirts of the city in the same daze.

He locked himself inside and stayed there for quite a while.

Meanwhile, Sam sent Gran on the next set of plans.

To the fourth young master, whose disguise Kiran had when facing the third young master. He is currently alone on the other side of the city in his secret house with a bunch of scrolls and documents as he went through them.

It is the information of his own family and his brothers who are also his peers.

This fourth young master has the highest profile of all the young masters in the elven branch and he is good at talking trash, acting like a prick, and making fools out of others. He is a typical bully and a typical young master. At least in the eyes of the family and the city.

But what Sam and his team of shadow mice found out in the past few days is completely different.

He is actually ambitious of all. He has information networks all over the city and he knows information about all kinds of things in the city. From his family, his brothers, his elders to the young masters of other organizations, their elders, and so on.

In fact, he runs an information selling point that is quite famous, but he doesn't use the information for money, rather he manipulates the information. He wants to control the political situation by manipulating the information.

It is possible, but one needs to be clear about what kind of information could be manipulated and how much information they could manipulate.

But one clear advantage he has is, now that everyone made a habit of coming to his organization for information, whenever someone asked information about him, he managed to find out who it was and managed to manipulate it fully, and stayed out of trouble.

He is doing all this, but in front of all the other people, he is but a rich brat, that likes to fuck around and drink all day and in fact, he puts on quite a show.

Gran arrived at the secret house and sneaked in. Before the young master could realize what is happening, he felt a pricking sensation on his neck and he fell unconscious.

She took out a large jar of wine and made him chug it down. Soon Sam arrived and used dark elemental energy to place a spell of illusion on this guy.

In that illusion, he went out after getting bored, went to a brothel, chugged a lot of wine, and spent some great time with aqua, and finally came back to this place to finish the work.

A few hours later he woke up with a hangover.

"I should drink more carefully next time. It is great that I managed to make it back here before passing out."

He muttered to himself and went back to the estate of the family.

But what he doesn't know is something else waiting for him there.

There is a reason why Sam picked the third young master for this plan.

There are five young masters in this elven branch and out of five, the fifth one is so young that is just in the Consummate stage and didn't even break through to the Astral Plane.

The remaining four are fighting for the spot to inherit the head of the branch title and out of these four openly, the first young master is winning, because he is good at both strength and politics. But in dark, the fourth young master is winning, because he had edge over all three and it is mostly because of the extra activities he is doing in the hiding.

Just like how there are forerunners, there is one person who is last in the race. The third young master.

He is a muscle head. A pure and dense musclehead. Who doesn't understand the complex thing like politics and he didn't care about the head of the family position.

But when it comes to battle prowess. He is the best of the best. He might be of same generation as the rest of the young masters, but in terms of cultivation he is almost on part with the elders and he could even beat the crap out of some of them.

He openly withdrew from the race of the head.

As Sam learned before, in the elven world, everything is mostly related to politics even the individual strength comes second to the political standing, and not understanding this, the third young master withdrew which happened to be the biggest mistake he committed in his life. His privileged status dropped and the rest of the young masters started making one of him.

Of course, this was started by the fourth young master. But he only did it once so that he could make the rest of the young masters take over and make them fall in favor of the third young master.

While he secretly made preparations to make amends with the third young master.

What he doesn't know is that the third young master who felt depressed because of the constant bullying from the rest found solace in the arms of Aqua.

He used a large part of his allowance to make her make him the exclusive customer.

She made him feel loved for what he is and didn't force her to be what he wasn't and particularly, she didn't force him or make fun of him for being what he is.

He made sure he was in disguise every time he went to aqua to make sure that he wouldn't reveal this one thing he had for himself.

Sam decided to take advantage of this and created this whole scenario. Now all they have to do is wait for the aftermath to take place.

As soon as the fourth young master came to the estate though, he was actually greeted by the third young master near the gate itself.

After the shock was gone, he turned embarrassed, and then the embarrassment turned into anger which then changed into a soul-searing rage.

As soon as the fourth young master came to the entrance of the gate, the third young master directly took out his sword and charged at him.

He slashed on the chest and kicked him on it.

He didn't want to kill him, he wanted to inflict maximum pain on him as much as he could.

As he continued with the bashing, there was nothing the fourth young master could do except for taking it.

Even the guard he kept around was dead within a single strike as soon as he involved himself in between. The beating went on and on and soon the whole estate was made known and the elders got involved.

The fourth young master's father was the first one to come and he immediately intervened and pushed the third young master back. But he was shocked by the third young master's power.

"Get the fuck out of my way." The third young master spoke coldly as he just wiped the blood that came out of his mouth due to the clash with the elder.

The fourth elder who is the father of the fourth young master held his saber in his hands and braced himself. He didn't know that the third young master is this strong. It seems like he concealed his strength thoroughly.

"We are all part of the elven branch. We can talk things out." The fourth elder spoke trying to ease the situation.

"You all have been talking a lot for the past few years about me. Now I have had enough. I don't want to talk anymore. Let the actions take care of the issues and we will see who stands last."

The third young master replied and he kept on attacking the fourth elder and the fourth young master.

The fourth young master who got a breathing space felt his head go numb from the shock.

"Third Bro. Just tell me what it is and I would do anything to remedy this situation. We can still talk things out."

The third young master spat coldly and increased the intensity of the attacks, he didn't care if he is being injured in the process. All he did is just fight with all he got and soon the third elder came into play along with other elders and stopped the fight.

"What the hell happened to you? You are not supposed to use that strength on your peers like that."

The third elder scolded his son.

The third young master stayed silent and let his father scold him.

The third elder looked at the fourth young master and the fourth elder and said.

"You guys better come inside and let us settle this before it gets out of hand. I want your son to be honest with me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you. Your son might die right here and now."

All four of them left the place and went into a private room to have a chat.

Sam who is looking at it from far away smiled and Paras who is looking at it through the telescope was surprised.

They didn't do anything too difficult, everything was easy, but the final result is great. This compromise between the two elders is also accounted for in Sam's plan and they have to go and do the next phase of plans properly and the deescalated situation would escalate again.
