Chapter 22 - Andrew's Plan

"Don't worry about me not being able to progress later in the future cause I will surely become strong even if you don't tell me" said Jason.

"Since you are confident in yourself, then don't bother yourself with a spirit like me" reply the bracelet.

"I just need you to give me some clue and I will discover the rest myself" said Jason.

"Don't even think I am telling you anything" replies the bracelet.

"Alright then, you can keep it to yourself" as he got up from the ground in anger only for him to sit down as his body still hurts from the pain that he got the other day.

Meanwhile, back in one of the biggest courtyards in the Fox family, a loud yell could be heard coming from one of the rooms.

"Will you stop yelling like a lady and let me treat your wounds?" said a middle-aged man who has a frown on his face as Andrew continues to struggle with him.

"How do you expect me to just keep quiet when you are not taking things lightly" complain Andrew

"How do you expect your body to go back to the way it was in such a short time when your ribs are almost destroyed. As your elder brother, it is only natural that I do my best to get you healed up quickly so that you can continue with your training" reply Andrew elder brother.

"But brother Fred I can't endure the pain anymore" said Andrew almost in tears.

"Just take it as part of your training. By the way, who did this to you" asked Fred.

"You don't have to trouble yourself with such matter" replied Andrew with a smile.

"Alright, since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you" said Fred as he continues to treat Andrew.

After Fred was done with the treatment, he left leaving only Andrew in the room to rest until his gang members all came to see how he is doing.

"Boss how are you feeling now" asked Dennis when he saw Andrew laying on a chair.

"Who would have thought that he could be this strong and never chose to fight all this while that we were bullying him" said a member of the gang.

"I don't believe that, did you see the look in his eyes that day we were playing with his sister, he wanted to tear us apart but did not have the guts to so stop saying that" reply Dennis.

"Where is Michael" asked Andrew all of a sudden after noticing that he was not in the group.

"Just like you, he is still undergoing treatment and his parents refused to let him go out" reply Dennis.

"I guess that kid must have learned a technique that can disabled others, but who must have taught him" said Andrew.

"Boss do you think maybe one of the elders decided to take him in as a disciple" asked Dennis.

"I don't think so, since he is not a member of the family it will not be easy for him to be taken in as a disciple with his weak realm" reply Andrew.

"Come to think of it boss, don't you think he has advanced quite fast. I remembered he was only in the 1st layer of tempered body and it hasn't been up to a month and he is already in the 4th layer of tempered body, don't you think there is a theory behind this" asked Dennis.

"You are right about that and there is no way one can advance three layers within a month unless they are using a forbidden technique" reply Andrew.

"I thought as much, so should we report him to the family head" asked Dennis in excitement after coming up with a way to get back at Jason.

"We can't just head to the family head and saying all this without a proof and if they were to consult a search and did not find anything, with my be punished severely" reply Andrew.

"Then what should we do to get back at him" asked Dennis

"There are many ways we can get back at him and one of them is through the tournament" reply Andrew with a smile.

"How are we going to get back at him in the tournament" asked Dennis who seen confused by Andrew's statement.

"Is your half-brother not taking part in the tournament" asked Andrew.

"Yes and he seems very determined to win the tournament" reply Dennis.

"Then we are going to ask your half brother for a favor" said Andrew

"That bastard won't agree to help us unless we offer him something" reply Dennis.

"Then we will have to think about what to give him" said Andrew.

"But boss, instead of asking him to help us out why don't we just think of another way to get our revenge" asked Dennis.

"We don't have much time on our hands for that and by the way, the tournament is the most effective way since he will be up against many opponents" Reply Andrew

"But still I think we should look for someone else you know how my half-brother is" said Dennis who refused to get his half-brother involved due to his personality.

"I know but there is nothing that money can't buy and since he is joining the tournament could only mean one thing and that is he is in dire need of money and what he is getting from the family is not enough for him" reply Andrew with a smile on his face.

"Boss is just too good, just after analyzing the situation he already knows how to handle your brother" said one of the gang members.

The rest of the gang members begin to praise Andrew which also helps lighten his mood as he said.

"Dennis I will be leaving the task to you so don't disappoint me. Now if you guys don't mind I will need some time to rest".

Dennis and the rest praise Andrew once more before taking their leave.

"Let's see if you will be able to advance into the final after what you have done to me" mutter Andrew to himself.
