Chapter 2518 - The Disaster-Level Battleship
2518 The Disaster-Level Battleship
The Garnier family was considered first-class and the very best in the Coste Galaxy. Based on a comprehensive survey of the Coste Galaxy, only two other families were comparable to them.
Currently, at the top floor of the Skyscraper Science And Technology Business' high-rise building, a subsidiary under the Garnier family, the patriarch of the Garnier family, Dahl, angrily watched the scene of a young man being killed. The young man, Nok, was his only son! Although he had more than ten children in this lifetime, he only had one son who could legitimately inherit the family fortune. All his other children were daughters. Now, his only son had died, murdered by a female cultivator.
...
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The ear-piercing noise of an alarm rang from every watch that belonged to important members of the Garnier family.
"What happened?"
"The patriarch has summoned us. Something must have happened!"
"Come!"
"Let's go!"
It did not take long before all the important figures and high-ranking officials in the Garnier family were gathered in the Garnier family's main house. The main house was a modern and high-tech manor.
…
It should be noted that the sudden large gathering of the Garnier family had shocked their family's two old rivals. For this reason, the two families whose strength was comparable to the Garnier family called for an emergency meeting as well.
"Something happened in the Garnier family… Did you manage to find out what it is?"
"Is it possible that the Garnier family is pretending to use some 'incident' as an excuse to fool us so they can act against us?"
"That's highly probable. After all, this isn't the first time the Garnier family had released fake news."
The two families felt this was a cause for concern, therefore, they were all compelled to call for a meeting to discuss the matter.
…
While the other two elite families were fretting over the Garnier family's gathering of important figures and high-ranking officials, a meeting was being held in the Garnier family's large, modern, and high-tech meeting room.
Everyone's attention was focused on the image projected at the end of the room.
"It's Nok!" Someone exclaimed when three men appeared.
All the members of the Garnier family were familiar with one of the young men. After all, he was the only son of the patriarch of the Garnier family. He was the Young Master of the Garnier family.
As the scene continued playing, their expressions turned unsightly. They watched as a male cultivator destroyed the mechas that belonged to their Young Master's two companions before killing them. Then, a female cultivator killed their Young Master.
"An insult! This is simply an insult!"
"How many years has it been? The great Garnier family has never endured such an insult in years!"
"Throughout history, no man or force has ever met a good end after insulting the Garnier family… These people won't be an exception!"
The people in the meeting room were in an uproar. The members and high-ranking officials of the Garnier family were enraged. All of them seemed to be filled with the urge to kill these two cultivators and to dismember their corpses. However, in truth, not many of them cared about Nok's death. Some of them even celebrated inwardly since Nok's death meant there was a chance that their own direct descendants would stand a chance in becoming the Garnier family's patriarch in the future. Nevertheless, since Nok's death was a humiliation to the Garnier family, it still angered them to a certain extent.
"Silence!" Dahl, the patriarch of the Garnier family, bellowed, effectively silencing everyone in the meeting room. Once everyone fell silent, he said, "I've summoned all of you so we can seek revenge from these two cultivators. They killed my son and trampled on the pride and dignity of our Garnier family. Only their blood can wash away this humiliation!"
Dahl continued to say, "Based on the scenes in the projector, we can tell that their cultivation bases are at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage at least. It's possible that they're even stronger than that! I've summoned all of you here to discuss the weapons we have at our disposal to kill them."
"I suggest using the Disaster-level Battleship!" An old man with a white beard promptly suggested in a grim voice.
"The Disaster-level Battleship?!" Many people gasped upon hearing the white-bearded old man's words.
"Grand Elder, is this necessary? Although these two cultivators are powerful, based on the strength they showed, it seems like they're only at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It's highly unlikely that they're even at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Don't you think it's an overkill for us to use our family's strongest battleship just for two of them?" A middle-aged man said to the white-bearded old man.
Many of them nodded in agreement.
In their opinion, their family's Disaster-level Battleship was a weapon that could even kill Bodiless Celestials. It truly felt like an overkill to use it to kill two cultivators who probably had not even broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Even Dahl, the patriarch of the Garnier family, was taken aback by the white-bearded old man's words. "There's no need for that, right, Grand Elder?"
"It's necessary!" The white-bearded old man said grimly, "No one has dared to challenge the Garnier family like this in many years… This time, someone has directly insulted us so we must retaliate in such a manner! Moreover, this show of power will show everyone that the Garnier family is not to be trifled with even though we have kept a low profile over the years!" Based on his words, it was clear that apart from killing the two cultivators, he intended to use the disaster-level battleship to show the Garnier family's might.
"I agree with the Grand Elder's suggestion!" It did not take long before someone agreed with the white-bearded old man's suggestion.
"Indeed! Our Garnier family has stayed silent for so many years. It's time for us to show people our might! I agree!"
"Motion seconded!"
"Motion seconded!"
Soon after, everyone in the meeting room agreed with the white-bearded old man's suggestion.
"Since everyone has agreed…"
The crowd listened with rapt attention.
Dahl said, "The Garnier family will launch the Disaster-level Battleship to kill those two cultivators!" He continued giving out orders, "Listen to me, heads of divisions. Satellite Intelligence Division, locate the two cultivators immediately. Public Relations and Media Division, send out an announcement across the Coste Galaxy; let everyone know the Garnier family will be launching the Disaster-level Battleship to avenge a member of our family and to wash off this insult against our family! Another thing, prepare to project the scene when we kill the two cultivators. Make sure that it's aired everywhere in the Coste Galaxy. Let everyone in the Coste Galaxy know that those who insult the Garnier family will not have a happy ending."
After Dahl issued his orders, the Garner family's heads of the Satellite Intelligence Division and the Public Relations and Media Division were the first to leave to make necessary arrangements.
"Grand Elder!" Dahl turned to look at the white-bearded old man and said, "Both of us will go to the War Division to authorize the launch of the Disaster-level Battleship to avenge my son and show everyone the might of the Garnier family!" His eyes were red at this moment. After all, his one and only son had been killed.
...
Following the Garnier family's chain of actions, not only the inhabitants from the Coste Galaxy's home planet, Planet Sattel, were in shock, but all the inhabitants from other planets were shocked as well.
"Someone killed the Young Master of the Garnier family?"
"He was killed by two cultivators? Are they seeking death? This is our territory after all!"
"I heard that the Garnier family plans to launch their Disaster-level Battleship just to kill those two cultivators!"
"The Disaster-level Battleship? Heavens! That's the most powerful weapon in the entire Coste Galaxy. Only the other two families have Disaster-level Battleships. The reason the three elite families can stand at the peak of the Coste Galaxy is due to their Disaster-level Battleships!"
"They're actually launching the Disaster-level Battleship… Are the two cultivators Bodiless Celestials?"
Similar discussions could be heard on every planet in the Coste Galaxy. Based on the Garnier family's actions, it was clear that the family was thoroughly enraged.
…
Planet Sattle.
The two elite families in the Coste Galaxy had also received news that the Garnier family's actions had nothing to do with them.
Someone laughed. "The Young Master of the Garnier family was killed by two cultivators? This is great news! That old fart, Dahl, must be spitting with rage."
"It seems like the two cultivators are extremely powerful. Otherwise, the Garnier family won't launch the Disaster-level Battleship!"
"In fifteen minutes, the Garnier family will broadcast the execution of the two cultivators! How exciting! I haven't seen a Disaster-level Battleship in years!"
"The Disaster-level Battleship… The three elite families have relied on it to maintain our standing in this galaxy. It's the reason why we're on top of the food chain in the Coste Galaxy!"
Fifteen minutes passed by as the two elite families in Coste Galaxy were fervently discussing this matter.
…
It did not take long before a projection appeared in every corner of every planet in the Coste Galaxy.
"Is that them?"
The figures of a man and a woman appeared before the eyes of every inhabitant in the Coste Galaxy.
