Chapter 2872 Solving the Mission I

Inside the humble residence of those three individuals who had stood in Minos' way, his wives stood around while he sat opposite the two elders, with the young man at level 99 silently staring wide-eyed at him.

The old woman totally changed her ways and said to Minos in a tone of defeat. "I'm sorry for my attitude. I didn't know I was facing an expert."

"We could never have expected that someone of the senior's caliber would come to us because of that individual..." Said the old man, feeling Minos' tactlessness in hiding such information from them.

The powerful had to make it clear so that weak commoners like themselves wouldn't make terrible mistakes - that local thought.

"Don't worry. Just tell me your story with Forfex and we'll be fine." Minos didn't want to have to deal with these people's flattery, nor their fear of his position.

The old woman said, "Our relationship with him? Sigh! It's a long story, a story that would only make the senior angry to waste his time.

That person was one of us, a family member, like the one you're looking for. But he was a coward. He was supposed to take a stand and ran away before the decisive day for him and us. That cost our family a lot, relegating us to our current situation." She gestured as she spoke, trying not to look angry but unable to hide her frown. She clearly held a great grudge against Forfex.

"That's strange to hear. The Forfex I knew was a strong guy with great talent. Why would he run away from something?" Minos asked, his incomprehension showing on his face.

Had he misjudged Forfex?

"Great talent? Forfex?" The level 99 young man asked, hearing something so absurd that he couldn't help but exclaim with a smile on his face.

Minos looked at the level 99 youth and said, "Certainly. He and I were competing for something and the last time I saw him, he was a level 115 Supreme. Now he must be stronger."

The three people there couldn't believe Minos' words, each of them widening their eyes and adjusting themselves in a way that explained their disbelief at this. "Impossible!"

"Are you serious?" The old woman asked.

"Yes, I am." Minos noticed that Forfex's story was really complicated. "You didn't consider him talented enough for that?"

The old man explained, "Our family has never had a Supreme in its entire history, even considering our greatest talents. But Forfex was a mediocre talent at best. When he ran away, he was on the same level as Axils." He nodded to the young man at level 99.

"How long ago was that?" Minos asked doubtfully.

"About 400 years," said the woman, recalling the past. "That's how long we had to bear the consequences of his escape, which led us to have to return to our humble origins." The old man added, making it easier for Minos' group to understand Forfex's story. "That cursed man was born 10,000 years ago, in this very place where we are. But at the time of his birth, some of the most talented family members in our history came together. They led us to a good regional position, taking us to the point of having our own cities and domains.

Forfex was never a good talent, but he was always intelligent. I admit that. He always knew how to choose his friends. It seems that after he ran away, he stayed that way." He looked at Minos' wings, shuddering at the thought of this boy's powers. "At that time, he made a friendship of great value to the family. This friendship brought us into contact with a great regional force, opening many doors for us. So far, so good. He was well-liked and had great importance, even though he was weak.

Things started to take a turn for the worse when a talented girl member of this allied force fell in love with him. We arranged the marriage and thought that all would be well for an alliance of a few thousand years. But then, one fine day, the bastard ran away, leaving a letter explaining that he couldn't marry her!"

At this point in the explanation, the old man was practically shouting as he spoke. Minos could already see where this conversation was going and closed his eyes in regret.

"His escape destroyed us. We fell out with that organization, lost all the deals we had and were eventually targeted by former enemies. We ended up suffering a severe fall and dropping even lower than we were before he was born. Amid this, we lost all our good talents and are now relegated to the end of the family." The old woman concluded, unable to stop thinking of Forfex with hatred.

All he was supposed to do was marry someone and live his life. But he rejected that and set the whole family on a path of destruction!

Gloria heard that and remembered the problems she had in the Spiritual World. This was the kind of thing she had heard about on her journey before committing herself to Minos. Things like this happened all the time, but she hadn't expected to come across it now, so far from her homeland and at such high levels.

'It seems that reproduction is, after all, everyone's ultimate goal. Everything ends up being connected to this and problems capable of affecting even Sovereigns can start with things as simple as marriages... She pondered the matter.

Minos then asked, "How are you related to Forfex? Are there others besides you?"

The young man was the one who answered, "That useless one is my brother. Those are my uncle and grandmother. Our other relatives number no more than 20 and they're all on the outskirts, working for a living"

The reality of this planet was harsh. There were parts of the planet that were very rich and abundant. But traveling around it was very difficult. If one was born in the wrong place or forced to hide in certain areas, they could easily find themselves trapped and unable to find better places. Not only that, with the harsh natural competition, these beings might have to suffer a lot to get the bare minimum, even at levels high enough to conquer planets like the Spiritual World.

Minos understood the suffering of this family, even though they were much stronger than 99.9% of the strongest in the Spiritual World.

He stood up and said, "Give me some of your blood and I'll help you. Like Forfex or not, but use what he left you. The resources I have to give you can give you back everything you've lost and even put you in a better position than you were in before!"
