Chapter 139 - The Grand Elder's Rage

Hearing the killer that the Phoenix family has sent to kill him say those words, Jason couldn't help but let out a laugh for a minute before speaking up.

"You should be worried about going back to your family alive to give a report instead of your saying you will be taking my head with you".

"I don't have any problem dealing with you and this lady here, so why should I get worried over something like this" said Blake with a scoff as he believes he will be able to handle the three of them if they were to come at him together.

"And that is how you are going to die because of your arrogance," replied Jason with a serious look on his face. 

After the little speech, the spiritual energy around them begins to get intense making it hard for Blake to breathe while Jason and his little sister are doing fine and it must be linked to his mother being protective of her children. But it was not the same thing for Blake as he discovered that the lady who he has thought to be in the second stage of the foundation realm, suddenly has a boost as her realm moves from the foundation realm all the way to the Nascent soul realm.

"You were never in the foundation realm" said Blake with a fearful look on his face.

"That is right and knowing fully well that you won't show yourself easily if you were to discover my strength, I decided to bring it down so that you will have your guards down and it actually works" replied Clara with an angry look on her face as she stared at Blake.

Knowing that he has doomed himself this time around, Blake decided to make a run for it as he quickly dash out of the tent at top speed in hope of keeping his life and seeing him run away, Clara let out a chuckle before walking out of the tent.

"Don't you dare try anything stupid and leave this place" Jason advises Hannah, before leaving too.

"You get to watch the fight while leaving me to stay in this place all by myself doesn't seem right" mutters Hannah with an angry look on her face.

After getting out of the tent, Jason could see his mother not too far from the forest staring at something not too far away and he decided to go forward to take a look at what it is only to discover that it was a body hanging on a tree while blood was staining the tree. Seeing that her son has arrived, Clara decides to take the body off the tree to get rid of it only for Jason to insist that he will do it himself leaving his mother with no choice but to head back to the tent.

After his mother has left, Jason couldn't help but let out a smile as he stared at the body laying on the tree.

"Finally another resource for my cultivation" said Jason as he made way to get the body down before searching for his Blake storage ring and after he had found it, he began to absorb the energy until there was nothing left of him before taking the body into the forest to dispose of it. After he had done that, Jason went home where he saw his mother sitting on the ground with a frown on her face, and the moment she saw that Jason was back, she quickly spoke up.

"We need to inform the family head or the grand elder about the phoenix family action before things get worse".

"I don't think that they will still send more people here to finish me after seeing that the two previous assassins that they have sent have yet to return" replied Jason with a wave of his hand. 

"You think they are just going to leave you alone just because they did not return, you must be really naive to think so. Look let me tell you something you don't know about all this big family and that is since they previously sent somebody to get a job done and it did not go according to plan, they will have to send a more powerful force over to get it done" said Clara as she begins to lecture Jason about the family.

"If they want to send my people over, then they will regret it for sure" reply Jason.

"That is not the point Jason, knowing that you have offended a big family, they have likely done a research on you and if it were to be discovered that you are a member of the Mccray family, then those responsible for the destruction of our family will have to take action once they failed to do that on their own" said Clara taking the matter really reason.

Seeing how his mother is acting and hearing the fact that those assassins will be involved and if that should happen, then they could kiss the world goodbye, Jason couldn't help but nod in agreement and at the same time making an oath that if the phoenix family should try something like that, then he will have to get rid of them also.

That went on peacefully since there was no longer danger as they slept off until it was morning where they went to do their stuff like anything has happened before and if one were to look at the tree that Blake died on, the trace of blood wouldn't be found there.

After he is done with his morning practice, Jason quickly heads out to the alchemy room where he quickly makes way inside since he needs to act really fast before the Phoenix Family makes another move on him.

Making his way into the room that the grand elder used for researching, Jason quickly bowed, and seeing Jason acting this way since he would usually try to tick him off once he stepped inside, the grand elder commanded him to speak up.

"You remember when I asked you if it was right for me to kill someone who tried to take my life" asked Jason.

"Yes I do and I remembered asking you if someone from the family did something to you but said no" replied the grand elder with a nod.

"Well actually someone in the fox family did and it is more appropriate if I say a gang did" said Jason.

When the grand elder heard this, his eyebrow twitched as he flared in anger.

"You mean someone in my family actually tries to get you killed" asked the grand elder in anger which caused Austin who was meditating outside to rush in to see what happened that would cause the grand elder to get angry only for him to see Jason standing still in front of the grand elder. 

"You really got guts for you to get the grand elder angry, looks like even the heavens won't be able to save you today" mutters Austin as he continues to peep.

Jason was frightened when he saw the grand elder get angry since ever since the day he has been working for him, he has not seen him like this. After some time, he was able to answer the grand elder's question.

"Well, it was Andrew and his friends who gang up with someone from the Phoenix family to get rid just because I make them angry".

"So the Phoenix family still has the guts to come into my territory to kill someone without any permission from me and those fools still chose to align with the enemy" said the grand elder as he quickly walked out of the alchemy room and the next minute he was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, what do you mean by those slams trying to get rid of you" asked Austin who still didn't understand what was going on.

"I week back I was trick by Andrew and his gang into having a fight which they led me into the forest where there will be fewer people to interfere with their plan and at out of curiosity I decided to stop following them after I have been taken deep into the forest only for a sword to come at me from behind and it was only by luck that I was able to avoid the attack and after the attack, I couldn't find them anywhere in the forest except for the attack" replied Jason.

"For them to lend the enemy a hand, they are seriously going to pay for it dearly but this is if what you said seems to be true" said Austin knowing that those kids will refuse to admit their wrongdoing, and with their parents support, they might be able to go free.

Looking outside the alchemy room, Jason was hoping to see the grand elder arriving with those fools so that he could do away with them but unfortunately for him, his wish never came through.
