Roth family-Willow Peak City,
The Roth family was staying in a castle-like building deep inside a restricted area. The main branch of the family lives in the castle, while the side branches reside in Willow Peak City.
Several family elders were assembled in the meeting for an emergency meeting. The meeting was called by their family head, Clyde Roth.
No one has a slight clue about the meeting. While everyone was conversing with each other, a burly middle-aged man with a heavy build entered the meeting hall.
He is none other than the family head, Clyde Roth. He has red hair and black eyes with fair skin. He stands 6 feet tall. He was dressed in a red blazer suit.
Seeing the appearance of the family head, everyone quieted down. Clyde Roth is a Peak Trainee, Fire Elemental Warrior. Most importantly, their flame ability is an inherited one. It was passed down from their ancestors.
After taking the main seat, Clyde Roth looked at everyone. He clearly saw the restlessness and confusion on their faces. He understands their feelings clearly. The meeting is usually not held unless there is an important issue.
But a few minutes ago, he received a message from Elder Brody. His trip to Crimson Hall ended in vain. Not only has he failed, but they now need to deal with lots of trouble.
"Coughed," Clyde Roth coughed, breaking the silence.
Then, looking at everyone, "I understand your confusion. But wait for a while. Elder Roth is on the way here. When he arrives here, I'll talk about the main topic. "
Before that, let's talk about the outstanding issue," Clyde Roth said.
Hearing that everyone was surprised, some quick-witted people understood that the meeting was related to Elder Roth.
While some others were confused, they didn't dare ask the family head.
At this time, a slight glint flashes in Hector; he is the father of Mateo Roth.
"What happened to the old man?" Did he succeed in getting information? " Hector Roth said to himself.
Earlier, Hector talked to his son Mateo about this. But his son was not dazed by the development. He is quite confident in his strength.
Unlike his son, Hector was not calmed at all. But in this situation, other than being helpless, he can't do anything. He can only patiently wait for Elder Roth to arrive.
One hour later,
An air car enters the air space of a restricted area and slowly lands in front of the Roth family castle.
Elder Brody Roth exited the air car and directly hurried towards the meeting hall.
Seeing his appearance, Clyde Roth stopped the previous discussion.The atmosphere became quiet all of a sudden.
All the eyes were focused on Elder Brody Roth, who slowly walked up to the chair beside Clyde Roth and sat in it.
Clyde Roth is quite dissatisfied with Elder Brody's failure. In particular, his daughter has lost the chance of a second quota. It's not like he can't purchase the quota with his family's health.
But the issue here is one of prestige. His daughter, Everly, is the prideful one.
Warriors who win qualification based upon their strength are more highly respected than their peers who use wealth and connections to get the quota.
Clyde Roth didn't want to spoil his daughter by using his money to get her quota. Right now he has second thoughts. He can let his daughter be directly admitted to Tier-6 Academy without going through all this nonsense. But the trouble is, he needs to convince his daughter.
Right now, after seeing the Elder Roth, He decided to discuss the main topic. Clyde Roth turned towards Elder Brody for his opinion.
Perceiving his gaze, Elder Brody nodded his head. He wasn't in any mood to talk right now.
Getting the nod, Clyde Roth said, "Alright, we encountered a slight issue. As everyone is already aware of May Ford Academy's promise of quota to our family"
When he said that, everyone's expression turned a bit solemn. Because the face of Elder Brody didn't look well at all. It was noted by other elders in the hall.
Hector, who keenly observed the expression of Elder Brody, was a bit surprised, "Why does his face look like a shit?"
He suddenly thought of something. He set his gaze on the family head's face. The family head's face also looked full and solemn.
Hector already guessed something, but he is looking forward to getting the answer from Clyde Roth's mouth.
At the same time, Clyde Roth added further, "So in order to fulfil their request, Elder Brody Roth went to Crimson Hall. But his efforts were in vain. The First Elder, Casey from Crimson Hall, had rejected Elder Brody's request. "
Everyone sucked cold breath,"utter failure," one thing struck their mind.
But none of them want to gossip about it. Especially in front of Elder Brody Roth. He may vent his rage on the other elders. So everyone is cautious about it. None of them present there questioned Clyde Roth.
But one person among the crowd is extremely glad about the turn of events. "As expected, Elder Brody failed to collect the information." Hector laughed in his heart.
It means May Ford Academy won't give additional quota to their family. And his son can take all the spotlights with ease. He was not worried about the family head buying the quota for her daughter.
Hector knew the young woman's character. There was no way she would let her father buy the quota. Then he continued to listen to the family head's words.
Simultaneously,
Clyde Roth commented, "It's unfortunate that we didn't get the information. But right now we need to face much more important things. "
"The other forces might think Elder Brody has information in his hands. Soon they will knock on our door. If anyone happens to come across other forces, they should quickly inform the respective elders. Then we will take care of it. "
Everyone's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect the situation to worsen. What are they going to do next? Clyde Roth uttered it simply. But what will happen? If they get harassed by those hostile forces,
Several questions popped up in their minds.
Clyde Roth sighed and replied, "I understand. If anyone crosses the line, just attack them. I will take care of the aftermath."
When he finished his words, Elder Brody Roth stood beside him feeling guilty.
At the same time, everyone sighed in relief after hearing the family head's words.
Next, Clyde Roth dispersed the meeting. Except him and Elder Brody, everyone left the meeting hall.
Seeing Elder Brody's dull expression, Clyde Roth said with a sigh, "Elder, What are your thoughts? "
Elder Brody straightened his back and replied, "I had never seen Casey be this strict before. Usually, he would agree whenever there was a great offer. This time I offered him the Elite Breakthrough resources. But still he didn't agree"
"What?" Clyde Roth said. He is taken back by the offer. He never thought Elder Brody would go this far.
In his opinion, May Ford Academy itself doesn't have much of an elite resource. So, which means, Elder Brody offered his life time savings.
Elder Brody was not surprised by Clyde Roth's reaction. Elite resources were not easy to collect in this Tier-7 city. Even after offering such a resource, Casey denied it straightforwardly.
At this time, Clyde Roth replied, "Sigh, is that crimson Hall going to tear off face with everyone?"
Elder Brody shook his head in denial and commented, "I too had this opinion before going back to the crimson hall. Even May Ford Academy was confident because of Crimson Hall's current situation. But that guy was totally unfazed. He is not at all worried about all that. "
Elder Brody added further, "Right now, we can't mess with the Crimson Hall. Even though their current desecendants are weak, they still have some strong connections. "
"Hmmm, I also decided to let Everly join directly into the Tier-6 Academy," Clyde Roth replied, nodding.
Hearing that, Elder Brody thought about it and asked, "What about that little fellow Mateo?"
Clyde Roth answered, "He is good. Mateo had already completed the family task at Iron Post City. Right now, he is waiting for our call. "
Hearing that, a slight glint flashes in Elder Brody's eyes.
Elder Brody replied, "Alright, I'll ask the person regarding Iron Post City. Once he agrees, we can call Mateo back. Then let him prepare for the Crimson Hall competition."
Clyde Roth nodded his head, then they talked about a few other things before walking back to their own place.
Clyde Roth entered his personal study room. After walking inside, he saw his daughter, Everly, was waiting for him.
"Father, I heard Elder Brody is back. What happened? " Ms. Everly asked with some expectation.
Clyde Roth signed internally. He didn't want to disclose the news yet. So he replied, "Elder Roth was called back by the academy. I'll ask him tomorrow about it. "
Everly Roth disappointed by her father's words. She was looking forward to hear the news. But now she has to wait further.
