Gnyan spent seven days in a dark cell and all this time, he screamed with all his might demanding a meeting with his father, but his father seemed to have instructed him not to bring anything related to his disappointing son to watch.
On the seventh day, he was finally able to get food but as soon as he ate it he fell unconscious and his locked spiritual energy could not help.
Now this news was finally brought to his father's notice and the family healer saw it and said some absurd reason that they sounded stupid.
"He ate too good a meal. He was treated to spiritual cooking when his cultivation was locked. Too much weight for her body and she fainted. Unlock the seal, little by little, and let him absorb the energy slowly and he will wake up, do not immediately remove, he said, it would be too much of an overflow of spiritual energy into his body because he would not wake up to control it.
It might result in damage to the spiritual core."
That made my father angry. She did not know if she should scold the kitchen for sending this food or whether she should feel happy because her family staff was so kind to her son. He just stayed quiet.
After two days, he finally woke up. When she saw herself in her room, she felt devastated. He immediately ran out and approached his father who was in a meeting and shouted.
"Dad, we have to go to the city of Mirage. How many days has it been? We have to leave if we don't, we'll be in debt."
"Get out now, we'll talk after the meeting's over."
His father didn't even say anything. But Gnyan did not stop and shouted even louder.
"You have to listen to me, I have a lot of debt to pay. I need the money now. How many days have I been here?"
"I said get out."
"Listen to me fucking. We're in big trouble if you don't listen to me."
At this moment, Rana came in and said to her father.
"If I were you, I would listen to my brother, my dear father. Your son has done some great deeds in the city of Mirage that will tear your flesh apart if you don't find a way to reduce its damage."
Gnyan was surprised and turned towards Rana.
"When did you come back? You should be in Mirage City."
"Well, I'm having a little trouble because people know about our relationship, they're accusing me of calling me a con man's brother. It's a little hard for me to bear the burden of your actions.
Even your creditors are also after me, so I give them advice. On the fifteenth day, they would file the case in the imperial court.
After all, war was an expensive thing, so I offered them an easier alternative to let me leave the mirage city.
Today is the twelfth, so if you don't want to go to the imperial court and be tried, you better go back and pay the debt."
Gnyan's body shivered, now he understood that it must have something to do with his brother, otherwise he wouldn't be too arrogant about it. But he did not have enough evidence to convince his father to take action and the deal he had was fully legitimate. He has no way out.
"What are you talking about?" Only after Rana spoke did the father even try to listen.
After a betting incident, Rana leaves the family home and lives outside. He didn't even go back to family gatherings and he heard that he started a business. The head of the family wanted to discuss, but he could not do it. But two days ago, on the last day Gnyan lived in a dark cell, she finally came.
But he didn't get a chance to talk to her. Now that he had come to him himself, he said something about his eldest son's mistake.
He felt something suspicious.
He broke up the meeting and only his two sons remained in the room.
Panicked Gnyan could not explain the situation, so Rana explained, while Gnyan immediately gulped down the wine.
"Foolish boy, why didn't you contact me as soon as something happened to the workshop? You stupid bastard. I shouldn't have given you a chance at all. How much debt do you have now?" The head of the family became furious as he slammed the table. He almost wanted to beat his son to death. He had already lost around three billion for the sake of his son and now it seemed like he would lose even more.
He tried his best to rectify the situation and he was unable to pay a large sum in the form of spirit stones.
Gnyan did not dare to call that number out loud. He was sweating everywhere as he counted. It had been twelve days now and they would definitely take another day at least to pay it back. Thirteen days total. That would be a terrible number.
The head of the family turned to Rana and asked.
"how much?"
"If you pay for it tomorrow, then it's four billion five hundred and forty-seven million spirit stones and that's a rounded amount."
Suddenly there was silence in the room, the head of the family fell into his chair while staring at his two sons.
He knew that his son had dug a large grave for him. Four billion is a huge number. Especially, when he had just torn and was still licking his wound.
"I can't pay for this, I don't pay for this. Whoever framed my family, they'll pay. It's cheating. My son has been fooled and he's being played."
"Don't get me wrong, dad. You can say all you want that you are being cheated, but you better have a good reason and proof. It is your loving child who signs the deal with all of her rising ego.
They usually ask for a refund when he fails to deliver the product they paid for but your son continues to delay them on the grounds, saying, they became angry and there was no way they would let go easily if not for him signing the agreement. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame two people.
The first is your precious son, Gnyan, and the second is yourself for trusting your loving son so much.
And the people who deal with him are also not easy to give up. If it wasn't for the fact that I still have a conscience left towards the family and I wanted to take your position someday, I would never have tried to stop them and now, he said, the army will be at our doorstep.
They would go to the imperial palace on the fifteenth day which meant three days later. If I were you. I'll try to figure out a way to pay them back. Don't let yourself humiliate yourself in the presence of the emperor."
With that, he left the place.
"Dad, I think Rana's behind this trap."
Gnyan said from the side gently.
*PACK*
His father replied with a loud and hard slap right on his face.
"Let's go to Mirage city, I want to talk to your creditors."
With that he and Gnyan began their journey with a transcendent stage beast. They arrived at Mirage city within half a day.
Gnayn's father went to city management in person and requested a meeting with his son's creditors and he actually got a meeting.
"I can't pay a huge amount. You can't possibly think I'll pay for that."
As soon as he took the sea, he got straight to the point. But he couldn't beat them in a fight. And all they said was that they would meet the emperor if they did not give him money.
The head of the family is in a difficult place.
"Do you think four and a half billion is a small amount that I can just pay for? That's a lot of money."
"Of course, but that's your problem, right from the start."
"Is there no other way we can solve this?"
“Of course there are, you can pay us in property form. We will be generous, two wrought we will take along with the management office. We'll take all the employees, the business deal everything. We could value a total of two billion and for the remaining two billion five hundred and forty-seven thousand, you could either pay in cash or give us something else."
