The Story of Demon Hunter

“Grandpa!”

Ascot smiled wryly. He seemed so grateful that Wendell supported him. But the man also felt somewhat depressed over relying on his grandfather's strength.

Arguably, the reason why Ascot could become the vice chairman of the Imperial Phoenix also had something to do with Wendell.

Ascot himself actually possessed extraordinary abilities. Not only is he smart and has a good education, he also has a variety of skills. Only, the man had yet to make a name for himself.

“I'm not defending you just because you're my grandson. But your words are true. Now we must focus on maintaining the Imperial Phoenix. After passing the wave of this problem, then we do the next step.”

“Ya!”

Ascot nodded with a serious expression, looking like a grandson he had been taught.

Derek only clucked silently while Cassandra frowned. Although Ascot's ability is quite good, but his personality is not at all suitable to be a leader. To them, that person did not seem like an exemplary chairman.

“Then, now we will talk about Golden Maple Group. For those of you who know the full story, just say it. Although this old man could not get an answer with certainty, he could at least try giving a little advice.”

Wendell spoke again. From the way it spoke so kindly, the old man did not seem creepy at all. However, people still took his words seriously and reliable.

After all, the achievement of the old man during his life was by no means small!

“If talking about Golden Maple Group, then we will have to mark some people who need to watch out right? I think we should keep an eye on Rhodez and some other officials.

Chris and Chelsea are dangerous, but they don't need to think too much about it. Chris was seriously injured while Chelsea rarely went out, just sat in his room and fiddled with a glass bottle.”

Ascot said with a serious expression on his face. Seems pretty confident with his estimates.

“Indeed.” Roldan nodded. “However, we should also be aware of what that genius scientist is making. The antidote to poison, poison, and the various medicines he made could affect the end of the battle.”

“Although Golden Maple Group needs to be supervised, but we should also pay attention to some other ‘neighbor’. Compared to the Golden Maple Group and Imperial Phoenix who had obtained some losses, they were still intact.

The hyenas could have been looking for trouble in the murky waters.”

Although arrogant and selfish, Derek still has a brain. The man attached great importance to the danger that could ruin his prosperity. Obviously not going to let that sort of thing just happen.

“You're right. However, I hope you consider something else.”

Cassandra said in a solemn voice. It seems more serious than before.

Right then, everyone stared at Cassandra. Even Wendell raised her eyebrows, staring at the woman with a curious expression.

“You should think of Chris and Lara's sons who have incredible powers. In addition, there was also the Sword of Sufferings that was behind him.”

“What group came from outside the city?” Wendell looks pretty curious.

“Ya.” Cassandra nodded heavily. “Their number is not much, but they clearly contain the elites. Me, Kron, and Roldan met them. Those people absolutely cannot be looked at one eye.”

The calm-looking Roldan nodded lightly. Sensing Wendell's gaze, he sighed then explained.

“They are indeed dangerous as the Chairman said. In fact, according to the latest news, it seems that they repulsed and injured the Cursed Berserkers quite badly.”

“Oh? Was the reason the barbarians were silent for some time was that group? Looks like I underestimated them.” Derek looked quite surprised.

“Are you guys not trying to contact them? We can make cooperation with them.”

Rather than people focusing on how dangerous the Sword of Sufferings was, Wendell was curious as to why they were not trying to harness their power.

“The two groups refused. Not only did they reject the Imperial Phoenix, but I heard they also rejected the Golden Maple Group.

From the man's mouth, I heard that the Sword of Sufferings is a neutral organization and does not side with anyone. There seems to be another reason coming to this city.”

“You guys are too shy.” Wendell shook her head.

“You mean?” cassandra asked with a confused expression.

“If they refuse, it means we lack sincerity. So we have to raise the price.

Try to connect with them through barter. They had not arrived long ago and lacked resources. We can trade it for something useful. Getting to this city from another city is not easy. There's something we can take from them.

Besides, after we barter long enough, there must be an advantage. Even if officially we do not become their alliance, but the relationship still develops. If the Imperial Phoenix were to be attacked, they would help.

His reason?

Of course because they would not let their big customers be annihilated. So they help because of the advantages.”

Hearing Wendell's so relaxed but also detailed explanation, everyone in the room breathed in a cold breath. Can't help but admire the old man in their hearts.

Indeed, the old chili is more spicy!

Experience, wisdom, and how to make decisions are on a different level than they are.

***

A few hours later.

Ark and Aisha left the Imperial Phoenix headquarters quite satisfied. Not only did they get some valuable items, they also received important information while getting to know some of the higher-ups of the group better.

“Do you have no plans to help them Ark? It seems you have a good impression of the old man.”

Looking at Ark who was just silent, Aisha asked with a curious expression on her face. Clearly wanted to know whether the young man wanted to change his plans or not.

“I'm not some kind of hero who can save everyone. In addition, their weight is less.”

Ark said with a flat expression on his face. It doesn't seem to have any other thoughts. Just telling his mind what it is.

“You mean?”

“The old man is indeed quite interesting. Only, he was already one step in the coffin.

I am not an almighty being who can take a person from the scythe of death and give him long life. It is regrettable, but everyone has their own time.

If asked to vote, the people would want good leaders to live forever and bad ones to die soon. However, there is no such thing in the world.

Time keeps flowing, some come and some go. There is a fire that is lit and a fire that is extinguished.”

Aisha looked towards Ark with a gentle smile on her face. He then said in a half-joking tone.

“So, it turns out there is something you still do not do ya~”

“Indeed. How powerful the creatures that exist in this world, even this universe, nothing is perfect. We just need to fight for our little lives and try to be grateful for what we have right now while moving forward.”

Looking towards the sky covered in gray clouds, the young man continued.

“Again, we are no bigger than a grain of sand than the vastness of the universe.

So, there is no need to elevate or raise yourself (arrogant) because actually such things are meaningless.”
