Chapter 1342: Another Deal
"Title has some special privileges and I would like to use them."
"Special privileges? How come I didn't know about these things?"
"You know them, you just don't realize it. If a person has a title, they don't need to participate in every small clan meeting like the one that happened today and can skip them as long as they are not directly involved in the case themselves."
"That is considered a privilege?" Grivon asked in confusion.
"Of course, it is a privilege. You don't understand that now, but since you are reaching certain standards with both power and strength, you would soon learn how annoying the meetings could be as they try to involve you in every little thing that they want to achieve. All this while you were mostly a spectator, but from now on you would be a participant. You will understand soon, there is no point in explaining now."
Grivon shrugged and changed the topic.
"By the way, what do you mean by the message you sent? Do you happen to know who the person that came from the league is?"
"Of course, yes. I know him very well. In fact, I have done some business with him in other realms."
"Can't you give me his identity directly? It would save a lot of trouble."
"There is no fun in that now, is there? Take it as a test from my side. Even though him and I don't have a deeper relationship and the business transactions we had were very straight to the point and superficial, he came to me first to confirm whether I am involved in this or not and only after I rejected my involvement did, he proceed.
If I claimed I was involved, he wouldn't have troubled me. Since he showed me that much courtesy, I cannot get involved in this.
You can deal with him as his own.
But since you are my lovely little brother, I would give you some advice regarding this situation.
This guy is actually very knowledgeable and he knew suspected that Migron is just a pawn after some careful investigation. He understood the behavior and mindset of Migron unlike the others who came before and blindly poked all the holes.
And he really might have threatened Migron's parents regarding the information since we know that Migron would have been already broken and spilled the beans about your plan.
So, if you want to escape Scot free, you better move fast and find him. I am confident that he wouldn't kill Migron, but he might psychologically damage him enough to make his parents hate you for this and they might come at you with full force.
With some many external enemies coming after you one by one, it would be better for you and Sam to not create any new mortal ones within the clan."
She then took out the recording of the meeting and gave it to Grivon.
"Take this back to Sam. He might find some clues. Be careful and if you are really in a desperate situation, come to me and I will solve this, but then our deal will be off regarding Vardar." She finished and waved her hand before leaving.
Grivon's expression became solemn and he made his subordinates contact Sam to make him come to the clan grounds since he cannot move.
This time, Sam came with a bunch of subordinates who are also wearing black cloaks just to make sure that Sam alone wouldn't stand out.
Sam came to the clan grounds and met with Grivon in his residence.
"What happened with the meeting? I have plenty of things to do, so finish it fast."
Grivon didn't say much and showed the recording to him and Sam frowned.
"It seems like they are not lying or they have to be really really good actors."
"Giyon said that they might not be lying at all…"
With that he explained what Giyon said and Sam understood the situation immediately. He felt that as long as the member from the league didn't find them, they didn't have to make the first move, but now the league member is forcing them out like this.
"But I don't understand a few things in this situation. Why did Giyon say that he wouldn't kill Migron? It would be a lot easier to confirm with the soul extraction, right?"
"Of course it is easier, but what about the wrath of the Gaja clan? It wouldn't be easier to endure and I believe there is a reason why league is in secret and not lording over everyone else. They are also a bit vary of large clans and I don't believe if a person makes such a mistake the league will back him to begin with.
The only reason Gaja clan is not taking extreme measures is because their young master is alive even in the kidnapping. Once the young master is dead, the leverage will be gone and the person who committed the crime will be hunted down."
"Then what about kidnapping me?"
Sam chuckled and said.
"It seems like you are really underestimating your own influence. After the previous incident with Milind, I looked into your parents and you, you don't understand how important you are in the clan and what kind of figures your parents and grandfather are.
The very fact that your grand father is the grand elder makes you untouchable and even the Mari clan wouldn't necessarily kill you if you were presented on a silver platter in normal circumstances much less a lone kidnapper from a hidden league.
I am telling you, you have a lot of learn, you are intelligent enough but for some reason your thought process didn't develop properly. I wonder why."
Grivon looked at Sam with an exhausted expression. This has been a daily occurrence by now. Sam would be making these remarks that would imply him to be a muscle head, air head and dumb brute and Grivon already lost interest in defending himself as he learned how incompetent he is.
"What is the plan?"
"Let the hearing continue. Let your clan investigate a bit and make it hard for Migron's parents. I have an idea and we can use one of our pre made traps to deal with him and see what we could do?"
"Are you sure this trap would work? What if the other party is too strong?"
"How strong can they be? The most they would be is Middle stage to Late stage Consummate cultivators, which is almost impossible. Your two special subordinates are Middle-stage Consummate cultivators, I am confident we can take care of the opponent even if he was a Late-stage cultivator. So, don't unnecessarily worry too much.
Now, I would like to return to the stray realm and continue my research. If you have anything to say contact me. I will come as fast as I can."
With that Sam left and Grivon waited in the clan grounds.
In the next three days, Migron's parents were harassed continuously and the investigation team finally concluded that almost everything Grivon said was true and the remaining parts are impossible to verify.
So, a meeting was held and Migron's parents were held accountable for hiding the information with a deep cut in clan resource allocation and allowances along with a suspension in privileges. The clan didn't ask Grivon to give out the information and decided to help find the investigator.
Giyon was given a title on the same day. The new title was created.
The Fortuner Maker of the Gaja Clan and the selection for the next generations Fortune Makers is also going to be held.
Of course, the next generation is Grivon's generation and his peers are going to compete to gain that title.
Now that, that's over. Migron's parents are feeling a bit lost.
They are angry, but they don't know where to divert that. They only felt that since Grivon's parents aren't nearby and he is relatively simpleminded, they might as well put him in the spot in front of all the clan members and make him give up the information.
As they were feeling extremely helpless and wished that the clan would be able to find their son, Grivon made a visit to their residence.
"What do you want? You pushed our son into this. If something happens to him even if I have to die, I will drag you along with me." Migron's mother yelled on top of her lungs.
But Grivon stayed calm and looked at Migron's father.
"I have a proposition to get your son back. I am sure that clan would still take a few days to get your son back, but if we make this deal now, you might be able to get him much sooner."
"Do you really think that you would be able to convince us to make another deal with you guys? You already pushed us into enough trouble. I don't trust you."
"You can decide after you hear me out."
Grivon unceremoniously took a seat and started explaining his deal.
