Chapter 19
There were two people in the crowd who showed extreme countenances.
The first person was Louis with an expression of extreme joy and expectations whereas the other person was Ron with an expression of extreme anger and disgust.
He was extremely disappointed with the Clan Chief's decision.
Grandfather Robert was raged and called out the clan chief by his name without any consideration "Bigil, this is unfair. You cannot change the clan rules for selfish reasons. The other two children earned the rights to practise in the pool by exhibiting their talent. You may allocate other cultivation resources to Louis so as to develop him but not the energy pool".
Clan Chief Bigil was embarrassed and knew that he made an unfair decision but he had to this for his son and grandson.
Even the entire crowd was questioning his decision but he believed that his decision was right and his grandson would the one to bring prosperity to the clan if he completely supported him.
Grandfather Robert looked at Clan chief and asked "Usage of the pool also belongs to my grandson. Are you still going to do it without considering the contributions and sacrifices made by my family?"
The elder generation clan members were silent and depressed. They looked at Robert with sorrowful eyes.
They know the huge contributions made by Elder Robert and his family for the clan and also the suffering they faced.
Another elder spoke with embarrassment, "Elder Robert, the decisions made by the Clan Chief are all for the benefit of the Boris Clan. As an elder of the clan, you should support his decision for the betterment of the clan".
Grandfather Robert was disappointed and then replied, "No matter what, I won't allow it". He then stood up and smacked the seat with his fists turning it to dust.
This caused a commotion within the crowd as well as among the elders.
Some of the elders who supported the grand elder Antony on seeing the anger and fury of the elder Robert were scared.
It made the crowd feel that the things were turning ugly.
Even Clan Chief Bigil's face darkened and he furrowed his brows.
Grand elder sneered and finally opened his mouth "Chief commander Robert, you are an elder of the Boris clan. As per the clan rules, as an elder regardless of the reasons you have, you are determined to follow the orders of the Clan Chief."
Ron narrowed his eyes with killing intent without trying to hide it.
Grandfather suppressed his fury and snapped "Fine... fine since you guys want to play with the rules, I will also entertain you".
He looked at his grandson with grief in his eyes and then called him "My child".
Ron looked at his grandfather and was eager to know how his grandfather would react to this situation.
"Yes, grandfather...." he replied.
"Child, from now onwards, you will have no relation with this clan. This clan forgot all the contributions made by me and your parents and they don't care about the sacrifices we made. This clan is not worthy to have you and me. The only relationship you have with the clan would be your surname".
Ron was shocked to hear this comment from his grandfather. He never thought that his grandfather would say something like this.
Grandfather Robert gritted his teeth and spoke cruelly "I want you to do something for me. Since the clan chief thinks highly of Louis and they want to play rules with me, I want you to cripple him, abolish his cultivation and crush the dreams and expectations of the clan."
He looked at grand elder Antony and said "Don't worry; we won't withdraw from the clan until the Clan Youth Contest. I want the entire clan to watch my grandson defeat your talented son and crippling him. Only then would we withdraw ourselves and leave the clan"
Robert then gave a sinister laugh while speaking to Ron "Do not kill him since the clan rules forbid the members from killing other members but it does not stop a member from crippling the other. I want you to make the clan pay for this."
He started laughing like a maniac making others feel that he had gone crazy.
Ron was completely stunned and he almost stumbled after hearing the sinister request of his grandfather.
But then he understood the grief and pain his grandfather must be feeling at the moment.
Ron really liked the way his grandfather reacted and he too started laughing and joined his grandfather.
"Grandfather, actually, I have reasons to kill the father-son pair and had plans to kill them for the vile thing they did to me when I visited their house but after hearing your request, I think it is better to make them suffer and experience torture rather than easily killing them".
Grandfather looked at Ron with a confused face. He did not understand what his grandson meant but still nodded whereas the father-son pair was trembling after hearing what he said.
They were sure that Ron must have found out about the poisoning but still confused why he did not tell that to his grandfather.
Robert then looked at the elders and viciously said " As the Chief commander of the Kingdom, I will order the enforcement unit of the kingdom to look into each and every matter related to the Boris clan and find all the crimes committed by the clan. You want me to follow the rules, fine I will follow it and make the clan pay as per the rules. I will punish all those related to the crimes committed in the kingdom."
An evil and sinister vibe spread throughout the hall sending a chill down their spine.
The crowd all thought the same thing in their mind "Shit, the clan is screwed."
Grandfather Robert and Ron then walked out of the Martial hall whereas the Clan Chief, elders and the crowd were silent for a long time.
They never expected that elder Robert and Ron would react so harshly.
The Clan chief looked at the disappearing silhouettes with dreadful eyes. He knew that the clan would suffer terribly in the near future by upsetting Robert.
The crowd and the elders sighed and they know that the clan has lost their strongest pillar.
Soon, the clan is going to suffer from the retaliation and they all looked at the Clan chief with disappointment without hiding their feelings.
The elders who supported the grand elder and the Clan Chief were feeling fear and did not know what to do.
Ron's dwelling....
Grandfather Robert was explaining the matters of the Martial hall to the grandmother and Tara.
Then Grandmother shouted with pain and grief "How could they do this to our family? We suffered a lot for the clan but they don't even care. Why did we even suffer for so long for these ungrateful people?"
"Robert, I don't care what you do or feel but I want this disgusting clan to pay. I want them to feel the pain and grief that I suffered. I don't want you Robert to show any feeling or sympathy to them hereafter or else I will not look at you again. Hffffffff.... "
Ron and Tara were stunned silly as they made a round O-mouth.
On hearing such vicious words towards grandfather, grandfather Robert made a beautiful smile on his face while moving towards grandmother and then hugged her.
He soon started buttering and flattering her. He also made some cute puppy face.
Ron could not bear to watch his grandfather's silly actions.
So he moved away while eating a delicious mango and started conversing with the Phoenix.
"Kiddo, you may be unrivalled in the body tempering realm but you still lack the combat experience needed to defeat the experts of higher cultivation. It would be better to have life-death experiences by fighting the wild beasts in the wild."
Ron acknowledged what Phoenix said and he remarked "I have the same opinion. I might have been a top assassin and a martial artist in the past life but I need to practise martial arts again with my new body so as to achieve synchronisation of mind and body, perfect stability and better flexibility of the new body".
"There is a mountain forest to the south of the Green plum city and it is filled with beasts. It is a good place for me to train and hunt."
After some time, Grandfather Robert looked at Ron and spoke with concern, "Child, we should go back to the capital city. We can return after three months to participate in the Clan youth contest. I can gather better resources for your cultivation in the capital city".
Tara also nodded from the side and supported Grandfather Robert "Young master, there is nobody here who cares about us. We can only be happy in the capital city".
Ron gave a silly grin to Tara and his grandparents but still said that he was not going to travel to the capital city with them.
Grandmother disrupted him and asked "Why do you want to stay in the clan even after all these embarrassments?"
Ron hugged his Grandmother and said that he was not planning to stay in the clan but instead plan to go out of the clan and train in the wild.
