Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 2182 Blowing Smoke

Chapter 2182  Blowing Smoke

"I don't know if you are caught up with the news. But the Thala.s.sa family is no more.

Recently, strange disease caught the Thala.s.sa clan and their affiliates. Their strength as severely weakened and all of a sudden an unknown force has invaded their territory, killing every single one of them.

Only a few remnants of the Thala.s.sa family were left behind in this world right now.

And the elder that was related to Thala.s.sa family is being dealt with as we speak."

"Dealt with? Who is doing that?" Gorn asked.

"Who else? b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot. From what we heard, this is all the plan of Vlachous' family and b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot.

Since Christos Vlachous' was the one that gathered the forces from these families, he and b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot are working together to appease the big wigs. They dismissed you first and then, they gathered the list of all of your a.s.sets."

Icarus paused and played another recording.

This one has the conversation between the elders who were compiling the elders' a.s.sets.

"The compilation was ordered by b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot himself. Their plan is to kill you, the elders and take over the a.s.sets and then attack the families that you are affiliated with. In that way, they can regain the losses the academy has suffered because of the war, while appeasing that hidden power."

Gorn went into a deep thought before asking.

"How are you so sure about this?"

"Well, there are two reasons. One of them is that the secret force that destroyed the Thala.s.sa family, is none other than the Shadow Cavalry of the Vlachous family."

Gorn is stunned again. How many times has it been since the start of this conversation? Icarus didn't keep track, but he sure as h.e.l.l is getting bored of it.

"Then the other reason?"

Icarus sighed at this question. Here is the biggest lie.

"I am one of the last remnants of Thala.s.sa family. The one who is barely enduring the life threatening disease that is about to kill me soon enough. That is why I am wearing this attire, to make sure that you will not be infected by this."

"WHAT?"

Gorn jumped up from his seat and the hid behind that chair like a kid.

Icarus almost wanted to slap him. That expression of disgust really irked him.

"Please don't worry. With this attire, the disease is sealed. It might be killing my insides as we speak, but it won't spread out as long as I am alive.

That is why I am in a hurry to say my piece and leave.

I would like to spend my last few days in peace."

Gorn looked at Icarus warily. There are a million questions running through his mind at that moment, but he doesn't know how to ask them. But the most important one is the trust. As much as he felt that whatever Icarus said is the truth, he still held some suspicion.

However, he couldn't possibly have a reason to doubt the other party either. After all, what would his aim be in deceiving him like that?

"Why are you giving me this information? What are you expecting to gain from this?"

Icarus got a bit tense, this is going to be a bit troublesome.

"I have limited time. If my guess is right, I will die by tonight. And I don't believe I can reach the upper echelons of the diplodes family in the given time. You were much easier to find. You can also say that I am doing this out of spite against the Zeus Academy.

I cannot do anything against them right now. I can only find some satisfaction in making their plans go to h.e.l.l. At least, trying to do that.

In fact, not just me. There are a few more people who managed to escape the death temporarily and they are actually meeting other people who are about to become the victims of the Zeus academy and b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot's plot."

Gorn still didn't know what to do.

If he can have his way, he wanted to ask him to prove that he is really dying. But the only way to do that is for the other person to sit beside him and die.

Even for that, Gorn is not completely willing. He just learned the disease is contagious. Why would he be stupid enough to risk getting infected.

Icarus sat there in silence for two minutes, before he stood up while holding his chest.

His eyes appeared blood shot.

"I told you all I wanted to say. From now on, whether you believe me or not is completely up to you. So, please make the right decision."

Icarus was about to turn around and leave, however at this moment Gorn asked.

"What do you want me to do?"

Icarus paused and said without turning back.

"The best course of action for you is to first confirm whether my words are true. I am sure, once you are sure that this is true, they you can think with conviction.

If I were you, I would invite someone high up in the Diplodes to come and visit you. Let them stay in hiding and wait for b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot to show his hand.

Once you do that, you can take further action.

If you choose to believe me at that time, the best course of action is to go to the Diplodes and make the first move before the Academy does."

The meeting concluded and Icarus left.

He went to a different target. Its not like Diplodes have only connections with one Elder.

Similar meetings took place across various places.

As soon as Icarus left, Gorn immediately acted.

He contacted someone from the Diplodes and within a couple of hours, that person came.

It is a middle-aged woman that wore blue and brown colored robe. She is tall, almost reaching six feet and she had a serene expression on her face. She looked at Gorn with a faint smile.

"To think that you would use the emergency call note. I thought you would be dead by the time I am here."

She spoke without any change in her expression. Gorn felt like he followed a fly.

"But to me, it looks like you were hoping that I would die before you come here. Two hours after using the emergency call note? If I was really in danger, the enemy could smoothly kill me, clean up, have a nice meal at the restaurant around the corner and leave leisurely.

Why are you so late, Elder Niman?"

His tone is filled with righteous indignation, but he didn't dare turn it into anger.

"I am late, because I know that you are not in a state of emergency." She spoke casually, but at this moment, both of them sensed a presence from the entrance of the estate.

Someone opened the door and is fearlessly walking towards the entrance. Since the other party is not hiding their haughty att.i.tude, Niman and Gorn didn't back down either. They immediately spread their divine senses to identify the person.

Gorn closed his eyes as he tried to get a better look of the face and it made his body be paralyzed for a moment. That is a familiar face. Way too familiar in fact.

"Elder Niman, please come inside and wait for me in the hall. I would like to receive the guest. You don't have to worry about anything, it is someone that I know and I am sure you will enjoy the conversation that we are about to have."

Niman is a bit surprised, but didn't refuse. She walked in and took a seat. She was focused on Gorn who stood at the door.

Soon, that uninvited guest arrived at the front door.

"Greetings, Former Elder Gorn. How are you doing? Is retirement treating you well? Or is it better to call it unemployment?"

The visitor laughed out loud as he greeted.

"Elder Krinin. Why are you here?" Gorn kept a straight face as he looked at his former colleague.

This guy is an elder in the Zeus academy and he also happened to be rival of Gorn. They both joined in as instructors around the same time and their growth path was basically the same.

Now, Gorn is kicked out why Krinin is still in. That's why the gloating and sarcastic commentary as soon as he arrived.

"Oh, I am here to reclaim all the property and a.s.sets that you have acc.u.mulated illegally and immorally by abusing the power of being an instructor and elder of the Zeus Academy.

The acting-dean demanded that you hand over all the a.s.sets directly to avoid any confrontation. If by any chance you do not hand over and it is proven that you have hidden some for yourself by superficially handing over something, b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot will be here himself and deal with you."

"Why should I comply to this? I am no longer an elder of the Zeus academy. If you have any reclamations, you should have done it at that time. All my a.s.sets are in my personal name. You don't have authority to do this?"
