Chereads / Sword and Bloodline / Chapter 16 - Tailsman

Chapter 16 - Tailsman

"Weakling you just called me?" Skyfire slowly walked in, with the gait of a leader. On his face was a slight smile which held in it mockery.

"Yeah, so, isn't that what you are" Bloodwolf stared at Skyfire with no sort of expression on his face.

"Ohh, I see. If I remember well, the last time we fought, you didn't..." Skyfire pressed his eyebrows, and drew his lips into a thin line, his face had a hidden mockery in it. But before he could complete his words, Bloodwolf cut him shut.

"Must you always bring that up?!" Bloodwolf pointed his fingers towards Skyfire with his face red hot with anger.

"Hey, let me know what happened, did you trash this old bastard" Saber Ghoul on hearing Skyfire's words, rose up from his seat and stared interestingly at the both.

"Keep shut, nothing of such happened!" Bloodwolf wolf gazed at Saber Ghoul angrily.

"I won't expose him" Skyfire chuckled.

"Mayor I'm sure you didn't call us here for some chit chats, right?" Skyfire uttered as he sat on a nearby seat.

"Yes, I didn't. This is no longer news to you about the new clan that just sprang up"

On hearing this, the expression on the trios faces became serious.

"I want us to discuss about it" The mayor said as he gallantly spread on his magnificent throne.

"What's there to talk about, why don't we ally and terminate them!" Bloodwolf said with killing intent flashing across his eyes.

"You brute, who's going to ally with you" Saber Ghoul yelled.

"I don't think it would be so easy, for someone to try and build a clan in an area like this, he should have something up his sleeves" Skyfire said as he slowly rubbed his chin.

"Bloodwolf can you here that, very reasonable" Saber Ghoul stared mockingly at the latter.

"Hmmph, a warrior should only think and talk with his fist" Bloodwolf said as he swung his fist in the air.

Skyfire and Saber Ghoul couldn't hep but shake their heads.

"It isn't bad, but I have something to say" The mayor leisurely spoke.

The mayor stared back at the towering man who stood behind him expressionlessly, and didn't utter a word through out.The latter nodded his head, and the mayor grinned.

"I want you all to give ten percent each of your territory to this new comer" the mayor spoke with a iridescent smile on his face.

The three clan heads stared at each other blankly, it felt as though they had just heard the greatest joke ever.

Give up ten percent of their territory, on what basis?

Something they had carefully built for decades, even the works of their ancestors were their, just to give the descendants of their clan a commodious life!

"You must be joking, right?" Bloodwolf was the first to roar out in anger, as fury was slowly building inside of him.

"No, it's what I want, that I requested for!" the mayor smiled warmly as though he hadn't said something very important.

"You bastard, you better watch it" Bloodwolf was beginning to lose his cool, sweat had began to form on his forehead, he had a fiery temper not like the calm Skyfire who gently stared at the mayor.

"Mayor, you can't ask us to give up our territory, though you are the mayor, you can't command such power, or if you get killed do you think the authorities of Greenland would care about you" Saber Ghoul said as a perilous glint flashed across his eyes.

On seeing this, the huge man behind the Mayor frowned and began to watch the surroundings carefully with his eagle-piercing eyes.

"Mayor, aren't you too overbearing, even a dove can transform into a lion when it becomes testy!" Skyfire glanced at the mayor and slowly rubbed his palm.

"Hahaha" The mayor laughed heartily as he slapped hard the throne's armrests.

"I know all of this, I'm just a mayor among dozens of others, even this city is small for the authorities to care, so I can't order powers like you with this little strength of mine"

"What are you getting on!" Bloodwolf impatiently questioned.

"Don't be in a haste. Since I can't order with my strength something else can!" The Mayor suddenly rose up and then a magenta talisman appeared on his hands, on it was the tail of a lynx engulfed in fire.

On seeing this the jaw of the three clan heads dropped.

The symbol of Lilybroon Lynx clan!

The talisman on the mayor's hand wasn't an ordinary one, it was one that represented the authority of the clan, whoever held it, can do as he please, the talisman was more like an order directly from the clan head.

"Howwww....how did you get that" Bloodwolf couldn't help bit stutter as he stared hard at the talisman on the mayor's hand.

"I'm just peculiar!" The Mayor gently said.

The three clan heads stared at each other lugubriously, with this talisman they were helpless, if they dared resist they would be trying to destroy their clan.

"*Sighs*"

"We agree!"

***********

"Mayor, are you sure that fieryboulder can be trusted!"

"Darkneedle do I have a choice" The mayor said has he shook his head helplessly.

After the three clan heads had forcefully agreed to give up their territory, they immediately left in anger.

"Lilybroon Lynx clan aren't honest people, they would try to play dirty!" Darkneedle fiercely spoke. He suddenly turned his huge head towards the corner of the palace.

"Hmmph, you better come out, or I would force you out" Darkneedle suddenly yelled.

"Hehe, you have some skills lad" A human shadow suddenly appeared from the dark area formed from the several shadows of the pillars.

"When have you been hiding there" The mayor who was clearly stupefied asked.
