Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 320: Scheme

320 Scheme

A few hours ago,

Both Intan and Mega were carried by a special boat made by the Zhou Kingdom. It was the boat that Mega used to bring Alex and Putri to Death Forest. With that, they managed to reach the Zhou Kingdom in two days.

But after Intan and Mega were inflicted by the curse. They started getting a nightmare every time they tried to heal themselves or sleep. This worried the sixteenth elder who was carrying Intan and Mega's uncle.

They decided to be more careful and used a secret passage that only a few people knew. At first, Mega's uncle wanted to chase Intan and the sixteenth elder from the boat so they could enter the secret passage. However, the sixteenth elder paid a 'price' so they could get inside together.

Mega's uncle also had another plan on them. So, he decided to carry them along with him inside the secret passage.

When they arrived in the castle, the people were surprised and the king immediately informed. Even Bima, the previous king, also came to check them.

\"What happened to them?\" Bima asked Mega's uncle, Hugh. He was shocked by Mega's condition. The physical injuries had recovered a little bit, but her internal injury had not. It was because of the curse that Anna inflicted on her that made it hard for her to heal it.

He also checked the Intan's condition. Her internal injuries were much more severe than Mega. It was because the Rage Pill she consumed when she fought Alex. And along with the beating she got from Alex. It worsened her condition.

\"Explain to me!\" Bima was enraged.

\"It was that Alexander Sirius!\" Hugh said.

\"What? Alexander Sirius? Putri Wulan Makmur's Junior Brother?\"

When they heard the name of Putri Wulan Makmur, their expressions were darkened, especially for the first elder of the Makmur Family. Because he did not check Intan's condition first before expelling Putri from the Makmur Family, he had made the foolish decision of his life.

When he found out that Intan could not wield a spear anymore for the rest of her life, he was so enraged that he was going to challenge Charya. After all, before he knew Intan's condition, he knew Putri already could not use her spear.

After debating for so long, he decided to go to convince Putri to go back to the family. Unfortunately, Charya stopped him again and again. They almost clashed with each other, but because he was inside the Heavenly Sword Sect. He did not dare to clash with Charya.

He then decided to bring Intan back and discussed the problem with the entire family. After all, they had lost two successors in a day. Intan aside, Putri's case was really foolish. According to the explanation, he knew that Putri most likely would be able to wield a sword like using a spear.

If he brought her back to the family, their family might rise even further as the technique was unique. Although he did not know what kind of technique was that, just by Alex defeating Intan with that technique alone would increase their reputation even further.

After teaching Putri that technique, they could just engage her with him. That meant, they would even get a powerful son-in-law. Unfortunately, because he went to Putri first before checking Intan. They lost it all.

\"Your Majesty. I am worried about her. So, please let me bring her back first to the family.\" The first elder said to Bima.

Bima only nodded his head as he had Hugh here to explain the thing to him.

After he saw the first elder of the Makmur Family went back with Intan. Of course, Sixteenth Elder followed them as she had a few deals with them. Bima then asked Hugh, \"Explain everything to me.\"

\"Yes. The one who did this was Alexander Sirius. I will explain this from the first day of the tournament, where Intan Wulan Makmur fought Putri Wulan. I did not understand the reason but that Intan managed to bait Putri to make a Heavenly Oath before the fight.

\"The condition was for the one who lost would lose their ability to wield spear for the rest of their life. And Putri lost that day. It invited the rage of Putri's junior brother, who was Alexander Sirius, as well as her master.

\"The next day, Mega fought with him first before his fight with Intan. But I did not know why but that bast*rd injured her until she became like this. How dare he! He beat the princess from our Southern Kingdom black and blue, and he did not even put our kingdom in his eyes.

\"Even when he fought with Mega, he questioned whether our kingdom was capable of fighting him. Your Majesty, we can't let him free like this.

\"If we did not kill him, everyone would treat us like a joke. We need to mobilize our forces and kill him!\"

Bima was frowning deeply. Of course, Hugh did not know the reason why Alex beat Mega to that extent. After all, her scheme was buried deeply as she was afraid she would lose her qualification for the throne if that scheme were known by others.

Bima finally understood why Hugh was enraged. He could not maintain his emotions anymore.

\"What? Did that bastard do something like that? I am thankful for his help with the information about the Zhou Kingdom. But even if he did that, he could not do something like this to a royal family!\"

Hugh wanted to say something, but there was a weak groan from the unconscious Mega.

\"Mhmm!\" Mega was sweating. Her sour expression was telling them that she had a nightmare.

\"This again.\" Hugh cursed.

\"What happened?\" Bima was completely clueless about this.

\"It seemed that every time she rested or slept, she always had a nightmare. This only happens after her fight with that Alexander Sirius. So, I assumed she was inflicted with something by him.\"

\"What!\"

\"Grand…father.\" Mega opened her eyes and called Bima. Her voice was so weak.

\"What happened, my granddaughter? Why are you like this?\"

\"Grandfather… he… he has the inheritance of the Martial Emperor. He was the one who solved the problem of the white building in the Death Forest.\" Mega said.

\"What?\" Bima and Hugh were shocked beyond belief.

\"We were in the same group. But since we knew about it too, he wanted to kill us. I assumed, the one who massacred the Kasmanan Family was also him. He might use something from the inheritance to kill them. Your granddaughter already tried her best.\" Of course, with her cunning mind, she even managed to come up with such a lie in her current condition.

She only had some speculations about Alex having the inheritance of a Martial Emperor. It had been proven by Putri when she took out a rank 5 spear. But she did not know anything else. She was also indeed in the same group with Alex when they came, but they abandoned him.

Unfortunately, with her evil mind, she managed to flower her words to have Bima's sympathy and enraged Bima's heart. She even used the Kasmanan Family to make it more believable. It was the truth, though. She just did not know it yet.

\"Grandfather… you should take the inheritance from him. It was our effort, but he sneaked attack on us and grasped everything. He must use everything he had when he killed the Kasmanan Family. If not, our royal family would also be destroyed by him. This will be the best time, grandfather.\" Mega tried to incite him even further.

Bima could not contain his anger anymore. Because of that, he misunderstood the reason why Alex helped them in the war.

\"He must be trying to get into our good side so we won't suspect him from this. Don't worry granddaughter, I will bring him to justice.\" Bima shouted in anger.

In Mega's tired face, an evil smile appeared. Bima then left in anger as he wanted to discuss it with the others about this. Mega then looked at Hugh.

\"Uncle… you must know about the Blood Pill, right? Please… I need those pills. I want to get stronger and take my revenge too!\"

Hugh certainly knew about the Blood Pill and Berserk Pill since he was also reported about that. And because of the dramatic story just now, he immediately agreed to let Mega use those sh*tty pills.

…

It was also the same in the Makmur Family.

The atmosphere was heavy when they realized what happened. The entire family was enraged because they lost their successor since they did not consider Putri as the successor. But it turned out that Intan would be the useless one in the future.

The same as Mega, Intan also made a lie while giving them Alex's information. After knowing Alex's ability, they were full of greed. If they had Alex's ability where they could use a sword like using a spear, their family would rise.

Intan would also be fine since she could use a sword in the future. And their family might go toe in toe with the royal family in the future. They decided to enslave Alex so they could grasp his technique and his identity as an Alchemist. If they could not do that, they would kill him before he became a threat to them.

…

Back to Alex,

\"You can ask Nicole or Ngina for the details,\" Leoz said.

After hearing that, Alex started frowning. He indeed forgot to ask Ngina or Nicole to intercept them since he thought Leoz and the others would be enough to kill them. Njomo also went back to his shadow after seeing they left the sect.

But it turned out they managed to pass through them and get inside the capital city. The situation became a little bit more complicated.

Alex then took out Nicole's and Ngina's card and asked them. \"Nicole, Ngina, what happened?\"

\"The Makmur Family wanted to kill you if they can't enslave you. They decided that after that Intan told them about your status as a rank 4 Alchemist as well as your talents in Spear and Sword. It seemed after enslaving you, they wanted to grasp your technique about using a sword like using a spear. They did not care about Putri at all. Should I kill her?\" Nicole explained.

\"Royal family wanted to kill you because of Zwaka's inheritance. That sl*t princess even slandered you and incited not only greed but also anger from the royal family. They had posted a bounty in your head. And what the deal with this bounty… they only put ten million Spirit Stones on your head. Even a hundred million would not be enough, how dare they to put a meager bounty like this in your head. Young Master, should I kill her?\" Ngina said.

\"…\" Alex was speechless. Nicole was a bit reasonable, but Ngina… Alex did not know if he was angry because of Mega or because his bounty was not that high. But from normal cultivators' perspectives, ten million was a huge sum.

\"Young Master, your decision!\" Nicole and Ngina shouted.

\"Ufufu… fufu… I just heard something interesting.\" Anya suddenly spoke as her expression became dark.

Alex ignored her for the moment. He was also angered by them. He then said, \"Do not kill them first. They should have had Jeanne Session before they died.\"

He was planning to torture them first before killing them. But it turned out, it was not enough for Anya. She suddenly added, \"Yeah. You are right. They should 'play' with Jeanne first. But Alex, although I do not want to help Jeanne. I should break my rule for now and join her when she 'plays' with them. I can heal them so they won't die so easily. I will ensure they have the biggest nightmare before they die!\"

Alex was flabbergasted when he heard that. He looked at Anna, who made a weird smile. Although she was also angered by that, she was also speechless by her twin sister.

\"Well, this is Anya. I am the normal one while she is the extreme one. But this time… I like it.\" She sent a thought transmission to him, and in the end, she even made an evil smile.

He was surprised to see Anna made that smile. But he did not stop them.
