Chapter 332: Chapter 332.Beyond shocked.
"This..."
Kailen was beyond impressed, eyes glued to the holographic screen.
"Tell you something." Zarek patted his back with a light chuckle. He leaned back into the chair in the lounge, then added, "When we Atrexians decide to back someone, we go all out."
Kailen nodded.
He sighed. No wonder the Atrexia Conglomerate ruled commerce in the empire.
They were extremely decisive.
Zarek added, "Actually had this idea on the day you were challenging the Sword Conclave Mountain. When I told my father about it, he hastily agreed to it."
Zarek glanced at Kailen, taking a sip of the coffee with one leg crossed elegantly over the other, then added, "Naturally, as the leader of the Atrexia clan and conglomerate, his judgement concerning people won’t be underrated, if not more terrifying than mine.
Initially, I decided to slowly cut certain business deals we have with the Darkhavens and the Harkers before going full mode. However, father said we should go all out and cut all business ties with them, because they are against you."
Kailen’s eyes widened. It seemed Everlong’s father had very high opinions concerning him, to go this far for him.
"This is one of the most greatest risks father has ever taken in backing someone, although he has done similar things in the past, this one beats all of them. The financial resources of those two clans will plummet for a while because of this decision father and I have made."
Kailen nodded.
He added, "By doing so, you have proclaimed opened enmity against the Darkhavens and the Harkers."
Zarek nodded at Kailen’s judgement, then added, "We could have resorted to threatening them to cut ties with them if they still decided to go after you. However, that won’t be possible. The feud between you is irreconcilable. There’s therefore no need to resort to petty threats. That’s why we just went ahead and declared our stand with you by cutting ties with them completely."
Kailen remained in thought.
"The Atrexia Conglomerate is really sincere to back me. It seems my decision to demonstrate my prowess so that some higher ups of the empire notice me was worth it. I now have one more ally to deal with the Darkhavens and Harkers. I also have Ross Kadmen. Speaking of him, I have to find time and visit him. With the Atrexia Conglomerate openly declaring their stand with me, some power houses will think twice before making trouble for me and my loved ones."
Not even a second passed since these thoughts flashed through Kailen’s mind.
"In addition to that, we will also secure high end resources to support Helena Hall’s research when she breaks through to the ascendant level," Zarek added.
Kailen thanked Zarek and told him that he was grateful for the help of the Atrexia Conglomerate. Kailen may have been proud, but he knew when to be thankful to his allies.
"No need to be formal. Just back us up and let us ride on your coattails when you become a powerhouse."
Kailen smiled and replied, "Naturally. I’m one to repay grudges for grudges and goodwill for goodwill."
Zarek nodded, pleased with Kailen’s words.
"I have to go. Don’t tell my little sister I was here. Else she will throw a tantrum and complain that I didn’t want to see her."
Zarek chuckled after that, turned into a streak of light, and left.
Kailen sighed inwardly.
A lot had happened since he became an ascendant level awakener.
"Fortunately for me, my efforts to brilliantly show off is paying off. I at least have a powerhouse of the Empire backing me now."
Kailen was in the middle of his thoughts when he heard a notification.
"If you want to know who supported Cyrus Darkhaven to orchestrate the attack against your parents and grandfather, meet us at this place.
[Picture of a place, and some coordinates]"
Kailen literally dropped the coffee mug on the floor of the lobby.
He was beyond shocked at the message he had received.
Initially, he had planned to get the killer’s details from Cyrus’ memories after killing him in the near future. However, even Kailen had times when he could be impatient.
He had to meet this person—no, people.
The fact that they had been able to come to the conclusion he came to with such certainty meant that they knew more about the whole conspiracy than he did.
****
Kailen passed on a message to Lian Yu that he had taken care of Vesper Locke, and therefore the Sword Tribunal Society didn’t have to worry about him anymore.
He had even sent pictures of Vesper’s state before he died to Lian Yu. Lian Yu had sent the pictures to every member of the society.
After that, the pictures were posted on the social media accounts of the academy by an anonymous account.
The media was obviously in an uproar at the pictures. Several individuals tried hacking the account; however, it didn’t budge. No matter how much they tried, they could not trace the source of the IP address.
Currently, Pan Halfoy was sweating left and right, with Miranda, Lian Yu, and Anaya surrounding him with amused and reverential expressions on their faces.
Kailen was not here with them because he had run off somewhere due to some emergency.
As for Everlong and Esimo, no one knew where they were at the moment.
"Seriously, Vice President, I’m gonna need higher discounts after this."
Pan Halfoy was currently sitting before various holographic screens, constantly intercepting all attempts to breach through his anonymous account.
He had a gleeful expression on his face as his hands moved extremely fast, leaving afterimages as they dangled from one holographic screen to another.
"This guy is a real tech genius."
Miranda couldn’t help but voice out in admiration.
"When he said he could use his anonymous account no one could trace back to him to upload the pictures of the dead members of the other societies that day, I didn’t believe it. However, I was beyond shocked when he was able to pull it off," Anaya added with shock.
"No doubt, his abilities have really proved useful. Thanks to him, not only were we able to send those pictures and even the current one about the death of Vesper as a message to the whole academy that we cannot be messed with—no one can directly link their deaths to us, so the academy rules for sanctioning those who kill others out of life and death arenas cannot apply to us," Lian Yu added sincerely.
The male figure from the witch race turned to look at the trio with reddened cheeks.
"You guys are flattering me too much. My abilities are subpar."
The trio looked at him disdainfully.
Was this fucker humble bragging right now?
They didn’t even know what to say to him!
