Reaper of the Martial World

Book 6: Chapter 187: Help Me Get Justice (3)

It had to be said the Masako had a Presence protecting treasure as well. In fact, her wand made it so that she had two. However, protective treasures had their limits. A genius like Masako would only have a treasure capable of protecting against a lower King. This was already enough to ignore the Presence of all members of the younger generation. Only geniuses like Aki who were the beacon of a generation would be provided with protective treasures capable of protecting against Emperors.

Dyon simply outsmarted them. He had focused his Presence to a small area, making him seem much more powerful that he really was. But, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Gin and Aki stopped, their nerves on end. But rage burned in their hearts. Masako was someone they had both grown up with since their youth, the three of them had always been the triplet geniuses of their generation. Yet, she had died right in front of them!

“Are you mad?” Dyon calmly walked toward the two kitsune, his hands clasped behind his back. “Are your hearts burning with rage? Anger? Sorrow? Do you want to tear me limb from limb? Eat my flesh and drink my blood?”

Gin and Aki’s eyes reddened, but they didn’t speak, instead gritting their teeth in silence.

“I wonder, when you thought it was so easy to marry my wife, to make her your concubine, then your maid. When you thought to ruin her life and turn her into your puppet, making use of your backing, did you think about what kind of backing she had?

“Did you think about the possibility of retaliation, the possibility of revenge? The possibility of you losing something you cared about instead of just taking things as you pleased?

“Today I’m going to kill you. Not only am I going to kill you, I’m going to kill anyone who dares to interfere. And when I’m done, I’m going to wipe your Void Clan out of existence and make those esteemed elders you thought were your backers kneel and the feet of my wife.”

The world trembled under Dyon’s words. They were filled with such confidence that none of them dared to think of doubting him.

Aki grit his teeth before he turned toward the geniuses. “Friends, my Void clan’s has an irreconcilable hatred with this man and his wife.

“Firstly, his wife used underhanded means to somehow gain our Void Clan’s prized faith seed. You all understand the importance and taboo surrounding the faith seed of clan, do you not? As members of the Void clan, we had an obligation to investigate. This is all we wanted to do, open a dialogue between our clan and the Snow clan.

“At the end of it all, to compromise and no longer pursue the matter, my Void Clan and Alexandria’s Snow clan reached an agreement to allow a marriage alliance between our clans. I guarantee to you all, on my honor as a martial warrior, she did not have a husband at the time this was decided.

“However, Alexandria cursed her ancestors and disrespected her elders, spitting in the face of their arrangements and running off to spread her legs this for unknown man, slapping my Void Clan in the face. historical

“You tell me, is this not foul? Is this not out of bounds? Do I not have the right to fight for the honor of my clan?”

The geniuses nodded. They all knew exactly how important faith seeds were to clans. If their own clan faith seed fell in the hands of another, the mere fact they didn’t kill her and take the faith seed by force was already enough of a concession. For Alexandria to ignore this kindness, they would be angry as well.

Dyon listened to this with an eerie calm in his eyes, his anger had boiled over to the point where he no longer expressed it in normal ways. The thumping of a heart filled with rage was slowly growing louder…. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to attack, but that he had already used a trick to kill one of them, he needed to be meticulous with his next, or he would suffer a loss. But, this didn’t mean that he wasn’t thinking of all the ways he’d make Aki pay for his words.

“Friends, help me seek justice for my clan. I won’t ask you to help for free. This man is known for his prowess in his secondary profession, it is guaranteed that he has a lot of wealth on him. I guarantee that I won’t touch his spatial ring, you all can split it amongst yourselves as you see fit.”

The eyes of the geniuses lit up with greed. They had been dissatisfied with Dyon proclaiming that he was 6^th comet level expert. He was too arrogant! How could they know that Dyon had only said it aloud because his cultivation was sealed? To them, he said it aloud on purpose to slap their faces.

On top of that, some of the more astute geniuses recognized the silver plaque Dyon used for his attacks. Everyone knew that the more powerful an array, the more of a treasure an array plate needed to be to house said array. Those silver plaques, each and every one of them, were grandmaster level materials! Their price combined was astronomical!

Amory and Cullen looked at each other, both thinking the same thing. “I want his mask.” They both spoke at the same time.

Aki smiled inwardly while maintaining his outward appearance of seeking justice. “Like I said, all of his possessions can be split amongst yourselves as you see fit. I won’t interfere at all.”

“If you want me to help.” The fatso yawned, clearly too lazy for all of this. “I want your Counsel badge. I heard you eat for free in Central City as a Counsel member. I want to live that life.”

Aki nearly coughed up blood looking at Chanzui’s lazy gaze. But, he grit his teeth and nodded anyway.

“Good, good.” Chanzui clapped happily.

The man-woman looked at Dyon. “If you apologize and give me some of your wealth, I won’t mind taking a step back and not fighting at all.”

Dyon’s head slowly turned toward the sturdily built woman, his eyes as calm as the surface of a lake. “I don’t think any of you heard what I said. I said that I’d kill anyone who dared to interfere. If you step forward, you’ve signed your own death warrant.”
