CHAPTER 2
Luke was sitting at the table alone and was happy to see the prosperity. The fact that I had arrived was more than an incentive for the city lord and other dignitaries to come themselves instead of sending someone else. Luke waited till all the people had arrived and the program would begin. Power was respected in this world far above the authorities and the success was blessed. The action of failure in this world did not have much power and hence they will not be soothed. Brook will only have one chance to awaken his bloodline power in front of others and if he fails, he will be pushed down from the position and the banquet will be removed.
All the patriarchs of the families had come and the Rosewood family was happy. The awakening ceremony happened with the intake of bloodline awakening potion with enough concentration of the spirit energy around. Brook was sitting at the centre of the formation to prevent outside interference and the inside was filled with spirit crystals. He smiled at everyone and lay down after drinking the potions. His body began to glow red and the power was awakening. Most likely it is a fire type bloodline. Some of the people will awaken a powerful bloodline from their ancestors while others may awaken some of the worst bloodline or no bloodline. Very few are able to understand the power of the bloodline.
Brook broke through the formation and his body was in the air. The moonlight shone on his body and his body was becoming hotter. The heat could be felt through the air and the city lord had to use his artifact to make sure that the estate is not burned down. Some of the patriarchs of the other families wanted to stop the awakening to stop a powerful competitor. Luke put the pressure on the room to show his stance. Luke wanted to study the bloodline and hence stopped any action against Brook.
Wings sprouted out of the back of Brook. The wings were made of fire and the heat spread throughout the city. The healing power was spread throughout the heat and the heat healed many people. Brook finally returned back to the banquet. The city lord frowned and said, "It is a long time since someone of the beast bloodline has been awakened in this kingdom."
Luke asked, "Is there any fire bird."
The city lord laughed and said, "It is an inferior fire phoenix bloodline. The fire phoenix is one of the top beasts having the power to control multiple elements. The fact that he had only inherited the fire wings would show that the bloodline is fire phoenix bloodline. If is was a corporeal wings, the bloodline might have had a possibility of promotion to have other elements in control. The bloodline is indeed superior to many people."
Luke smiled and asked, "The path of the promotion seems interesting. It seems that the city is going to be lively."
The city lord could only say, "Any other bloodline would have been okay. The problem is that higher level bloodlines are usually held by royals or sects. He is neither and will solicitated. The city is indeed going to be in trouble."
Luke stood up and threw a top-quality spirit stone to Brook. He was happy and bowed to Luke. Luke smiled and said, "If you have any trouble, come find me. I may lend you a helping hand once."
Luke stood up and left the banquet. All the others could only leave the banquet. They could not do anything as whirlpool was too strong to be caught in it. They could only leave. Success is associated with risk but survival is associated with not taking risk. With enough knowledge and with the power they held back, the kept becoming powerful at a steady rate. If they are going to die anyway, wouldn't it be better to die after losing the safest method.
Luke looked at the sky and sighed. He would always get caught up in the whirlpool in each life. The power of the world is something that the people carry. The power always remains and keeps shifting around. There are several methods to kill the people of the world and the easiest is to let them live in a new unknown society. He is always strong and he is always known. Trouble always finds him as others always wants to get the power he has. He decided to fight like always. Let the trouble come again.
Luke was sighing at the sky. The flying boat stood tall in the sky and released pressure on all of the city to show the status. Luke sighed again. He hated trouble all his life. He always lived a peaceful life. But when was he afraid of trouble? How dare some lowly bugs stay above him? He smiled and released all the pressure on the boat. The boat started shaking and kept descending. Powerful pressure kept coming from some people inside the boat and he kept on releasing the pressure and bought the boat down. Seeing that the boat would fall down on the town, he used the energy to let it slide is a diagonal manner to the other side.
Seeing the boat crash to the ground was something that Luke like. Two of his butlers flew into the air and kept on releasing pressure. Luke had a smiled as he knew that his people had taken action. The elder of the Fire sword sect bowed and apologised to my guards. They were bought before Luke and Luke looked at them and smiled. They smiled too. The elder came forwards and said, "We are sorry for not knowing that you were here. I will make sure that you are completely compensated."
Luke showed his hand forward and asked, "Money."
The elder suddenly fell down. He looked at Luke as if questioning how can a powerful person be buried behind money. Luke smiled and said, "No 10.2.3,No 10.2.4! Take them all down and take everything from their body. Even take down their underwear and sell it to the black market and hang throw them outside. Also take the boat."
Before the elder could say anything, he was beaten down. All of them including the women were thrown outside naked. Luke thought and spoke out loud, "Kill the animals and take their meat and skin."
The servants started killing the pets and started skinning them. The young people were crying and even the elder was crying. Luke just looked at this with interest. Their sadness was his happiness. He just had to make them more sad.
