Chapter 1465 - Request

That day, the news of the trade agreement spread far and wide.

Of course, since there is no one entering or leaving the city, it is Gaja Clan who deliberately let the news get outside.

This made the other powers feel anxious and relieved at the same time. Some regretted not taking this stand before. Now if they go out and say the same thing as the Draconian tribe, there is no way the Gaja clan is going to believe them.

But some people didn't even care about that. They just wanted to go and take the same stand as the Draconian tribe.

After all, just like the Draconian tribe, they also want to share the information far and wide before they go and ask for forgiveness. They didn't believe that Gaja Clan would be making a decision as foolish as hitting a smiling face while the whole world is watching.

But before they could even think of a way to do that, the Gaja clan already started the counterattack on different organizations.

The news of assassinations started spreading everywhere.

People are randomly dying at different organizations involved. Of course, the most losses are in the Mari clan and Star eye sect where even some grand elders died mysteriously.

If anybody tried to make contact with other organizations openly to make an alliance and attack the Gaja clan or if anybody is trying to use the public opinion and stuff to go and meet the Gaja clan directly, they are getting some extra love and care from the Gaja clan and more people are ending up dead.

Of course, this didn't completely stop some forces from gathering together.

Particularly the Star eye sect that is so desperate as they are the ones who initiated this thing. They want everyone's support.

Even if most of the Gaja clan is gone, they don't want to deal with them alone after seeing what happened with the Bain clan.

But the rest of the organizations are not exactly willing to work with the Star eye sect.

In fact, they don't even want to work with anyone at all. They are all looking for their own ways.

The first reason is because of course, they don't trust each other as much as they need to.

The second reason is the Draconian tribe.

The tribe's open surrender and forgiveness clearly gave out that they are indeed involved in this whole thing and the rest of the organizations are currently indeed evil in people's opinions.

If they ganged up again, their reputation will take another hit.

In fact, some of the organizations that have cranky gods are already having some trouble from the upper end regarding the situation of faith.

While things are like this, the Gaja clan is slowly trying to get back in the shape.

The first thing they did is, see what they can do with the new and limited resources they have.

Since there are few members of the upper-echelon left, there is not much of a power struggle, but everyone wants to contribute more and is so eager to push their own ideas to the front.

This is because of their greed for glory. They knew that the current situation of the Gaja clan would be recorded in history and they want to be one of the front runners who helped in the revival of the clan.

They knew if they do that, their branch of the family which they are obviously going to make can live off of that glory.

But too bad, this time the clan's leader is a lot more adamant than ever before.

He didn't care about the person that gave the idea when considering one.

He is genuine, clear and crisp about anything that is related to the development of the clan and he slammed down everything that is not related to it.

This surprised everyone. After all, no matter how good of a clan leader he is, there is a time that he behaved exactly like Sam accused him. He was careful about hurting the feelings of power and didn't want to get deep into the issues.

But almost dying while protecting the clan seemed to have brought him to his senses.

Even more surprising thing is that the clan leader personally went to meet Sam one day.

"You want to talk to me?"

Sam asked in surprise. He is currently in the research lab of Giyon's basement.

Even though the clan has changed a lot and there are a lot of things to be done, he didn't really care much as they don't concern him.

He is still trying to leave the place by the end of the year so that he could get his body back.

He did help Grivon and Giyon greatly and by now, Grivon is indeed the only candidate suitable for succession if Giyon doesn't want to do so.

In a way, he already contributed in every way he needs to.

So, he is just focusing on the tasks that would benefit his journey and is making things that could help him in his own journey.

"I want to make a proposal."

"Do tell."

"I want your expertise in creating things. I want new products. The most efficient ones and the most profitable ones. In exchange, I will help you deal with the Mari Clan."

"What makes you think, I need your help with Mari Clan?

From what I saw, it didn't take much effort for someone to bring your Gaja clan down to his knees, how is the Mari clan going to be any different."

"Of course, you would think so. After all, everything went south in one day. But you don't understand one thing. The people that attacked the clan consisted of a dozen Peak stage cultivators of Astral Plane consummation.

Do you really think you can bring that much power to Mari Clan's doorstep by yourself?

Particularly after what happened with us.

Mari clan might want to take a hit on us at the moment, but they would also be so eager to save their own asses, that they would be increasing the defence by many folds.

Their key members wouldn't be spread all over the world like before and they would all be currently in the clan waiting for any possible attacks to come.

For the next year or two, this would be the situation.

You wouldn't be able to do anything regarding that.

Help us get back on our feet. We need your innovation, defence mechanisms whatever you can offer to make us preserve ourselves in the next decade.

"Let me think about it."

Sam said that and the clan leader didn't ask anymore and left.

Sam went into deep thought. He is actually thinking of helping Giyon and Grivon set up a solid foundation and a plan within a month or two and leave this place.

He has stayed enough and he accumulated whatever he wanted. He got all the information and weaknesses, he need to know about the Mari clan and he even had plans made. Half of Sivan's properties are gone and the other half is severely battered.

He is sure that it is not long before Philip and the rest tried to come and make some noise in the Mari Clan's territory.

After thinking up to this, he went to meet Giyon.

"The Clan's leader came to meet me."

"I know. I am the one that suggested him to meet you directly."

"Oh? So, do you want me to help him?"

"If it works for you. If you don't mind. But I would prefer if you would do so."

"I need to get some information from before I make a decision. I don't know if it would be possible to get that info though."

"What is it?"

"I want to know how much of my dormant soul was absorbed by Sivan. The more precise the amount, the more beneficial it would be. Can you find that out?"

"I think I can try. But why do you want to know that?"

"If he finished absorbing it, I will stay there for more days and if he didn't I will leave as soon as I can."

"Really? Not the opposite?"

"Not the opposite"

"Why is that?"

"If he has the overall information regarding me, he wouldn't sit still until he really kills me and he would also come with large scale preparations which would have already started the moment he finishes the absorptions.

I need to make some remedies for those things and I believe this is the only place that I can get the resources."

"So, it would be beneficial for the clan if Sivan already absorbed all of your memories."

"Yes. It would be. And I believe it will be an equivalent exchange."

"I might not be able to gain the exact information, but I am sure I know someone who can get the information for you?"

"Who is it?"

"My father.

Go and ask him.. I think Sin will give out the information directly to him if he asks."
