Several powerful person roundly sat in a room while facing each other. " What did they said?" A man in the middle asked.
He was the current sect lord of Iron gate sect. His face looked very sinister and cunning.
" They haven't said anything yet. Looks like they are testing the water. " An elder replied from the side.
" Testing the water.They think they have time to test the water? That Greson bastard is as good as dead. " Another elder sneered.
" We used an ancient poison method after all. "
" Central states experts are really amazing. We used sky high price for making poison for us, it was all worth it. Even the number one medicine master couldn't do anything, hahaha. "
" How would we deal with that old man from their family? " An elder who was silent all this time frowned and asked.
" The Empire said they will take care of him when the time comes. No need to worry about that. " Grand Elder said from the side.
" Contact the Empire and ask them how long do we have to wait."
Sect lord commanded.
" Yes sect lord. " Someone ran out of the room in a hurry.
Flame Heart Empire's Imperial Palace.
" Father was it really all right to agree with them? " A good looking young man asked while looking at a burly man sitting on the throne. He is the current emperor of Flame Heart. His cultivation isn't Emperor level yet its just the title he got after inheriting the throne.
" Ancestor agreed with it. So i had no choice. " The burly man said.
" Why did he agree with them? I don't understand. " The young man exclaimed.
" Alex. How could we understand the mind of the ancestor? They have their own reasons for doing so. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. I know you are in love with that girl from roswell family but she never reciprocated your feelings." The man in the throne said in a deep tone.
" I....but....if...." No words came from his mouth.
" Things have reached this point and there's no turning back. I'll do something about saving that girl after we destroy their family." Emperor sighed and said.
The Young man didn't said anything and left.
Few hours later a guard came to report. " Your majesty there's news. "
" Say it. "
" Iron Gate sect asked about when are we going to commence the attack." The guard said.
" The day after tomorrow. " Emperor thought for a while and said.
" Understood. " With that said the guard left.
Iron Gate Sect's Inner hall.
" Any news from the empire? " Sect lord asked.
" Yes. The day after tomorrow they said."
" Good. Begin preparation. Mistakes aren't allowed. " Sect lord ordered.
Day Fourth.
Inside roswell family there was a tense atmosphere, family lord was at near death. No one took notice that Elea wasn't at home for the past three days. But a sudden news shocked their entire family.
" Elea herself has gone to the Iron Gate sect to redeem her fathers life but they captured her. "
" What?When!! " Shiba almost shouted.
" Two days ago. " Someone replied.
" Such naivety . " The old ancestor heard the news and shook his head.
" What should we do now ancestor? " Someone exclaimed anxiously.
" We wait. " The old ancestor said slowly.
" Why? They dared to capture our little girl and we are just going to sit here and wait? " Shiba shouted anxiously.
" I understand your worry but..... Think about it.... Why at this point they just captured her?Is it just to blackmail us?They could just kill her. Then why? They are just taunting us to attack in rage. They are waiting for us to take the initiative. Once we do we'll just be a fish in the chopping board. But here in our territory they don't dare to be careless unless their old ancestor arrives too. " The old man explained patiently.
" So our little girl? She is my niece after all." Shiba's voice was full of sadness. Drogba was quite calm about this matter. He just listened silently without giving any opinion.
" Right now that little girls face is up to her. " The old man sighed.
Everyone became very quiet.
