Chapter 983 Unexpected Early Confrontation

[This… Well, I kind of did something like that to them. But you know I did it all for my own interest, right?]

[Reasons differ from you to them, and in the end facts are all that matter. You are a legendary figure, a mighty lord that even those who are in the second generation desperately want to meet and speak with you. To them, this is the greatest honour they’ll get in their entire lives!]

[I… Don’t know what to say, hahahaha!] Indeed I saved their parents and grandparents lives, and gave them a chance to start over.

But this… All this happened without me doing anything about it actually. This world did everything, coupled with such a strike of luck when I missed this place out of my calculations and plans.

I didn’t know how to deal with such praise and fame when I missed out on something. Shouldn’t I get punished for missing such a little piece out of my plans for all this time? Why was I getting rewarded though?

But in the end, no one would say no to any praise or reward, even if they came at the cost of his mistakes and errors.

[You don’t need to say anything, just be prepared to lots of shocking gazes and a sea of admirers]

[I won’t get used to this, hahahaha!]

[Arrogant lord, hahahaha!]

I closed the chat with a big smile on my face.

Well… Things started out in such a bad way at first, but gradually I started to get one good news after another.

Yet this all didn’t let me misjudge my current situation. I still needed to see these Hescos before deciding if any of this would matter at the end or not.

As Angelica left to do the task she got sudden interest in, and Lily had yet to bring her boys over here, I finally got time to think about the last black spot in all this.

[I want Hescos to be delivered in two hours, so get ready] I sent this to Silverlining, while evading opening anything related to what they did.

If I had to speak, then I’d speak with one of the true powerhouses, one of the sovereigns, not just a middle man.

But before I’d do that, I had to secure my biggest and most precious trophy. Who knew what that talk would end up at, a fight or what.

[Sure. Let me speak with the sovereigns and let them ready them for you]

[You didn’t get them yet?]

[Well… Something as precious as this can’t be entrusted to me. I’m not even the one to send these to you]

[Then… Whom?]

[That’s what I’m going to know exactly. Give me few minutes, I’ll return back with the name of that sovereign]

[Ok…]

I recalled how he helped me by preparing this gift for me. To be fair, I never thought about having Hescos under my wing.

He thought about such a thing that didn’t cross my mind. It was thanks to him that I’d get these Hescos, and that was something that helped me forget about his past slip.

Of course he did wrong, but he also helped me in many ways before. As for that thing related to keeping all these secrets about Hescos off me wasn’t his fault for sure.

Such info wasn’t known to Lily, making me doubt they were even known for Silverlining.

Even if he knew, he’d just get to know a few, not many. And if he kept silent about this, then it was all thanks to the big names in his race.

They must have spread an order to not speak about this with me.

He didn’t lie, and in a few minutes I got a message from none but that crazy sovereign.

[I got what you need… But we need to talk about something first]

[About what?] I was keeping my vigilance and utmost care to not speak with him about anything of what I was feeling.

I had to wait for my Hescos to arrive before exploding with everything swelling inside my heart onto their faces.

[About Hescos… There is something that you need to know before getting them]

Damn! Don’t tell me… Was he going to open this topic right now?!!! No way!!! He shouldn’t have known anything about what I knew, right?

[Speak…]

[Well… I know that you got many things about Hescos from us, but to be fair and honest, we kept an information seal from you]

sh*t! He was going to speak about this matter… I kept trying to not speak or say anything, yet when he said his next line, I failed to control my anger.

[We did this all for your sake]

[Screw you! You didn’t tell me such a valuable piece of information that will make all the difference in the fight with them for my sake? Are you bullshitting me or what?!!]

[Oh… Don’t tell me…]

If I spoke already, then there was no point in holding myself back anymore!

[I know… I know everything! I know how you kept covering up such a crucial piece of information away from me… Not telling me that Hescos suits are invincible against any of my forces, invincible against any kind of attack except for cultivation based ones! Thanks for being too honest with me!!]

[Sigh! You got it all wrong! I don’t know who told you about it, but I hope he did it late and not too soon]

[Indeed! That’s for your grand scheme to work, right? What did I do wrong with you to get such kind of treatment? Huh? I even hustled before about any of our deals!]

[You… Can you shut the hell up and listen first before issuing judges like this?]

[Sure… You got all the time you need. And believe me, trying to bullshit me isn’t going to work! I know it all man! Know it all!]

[Sigh! Fine! I’ll hear your opinion after I’d say my words, alright?]
