Chapter 715 - Speechless

"How is it?"
"The card seems to be effective. They won't attack you at all and will support you on every occasion. Song Jiaoren is betting on you to get you to nominate him to the Main Blackwade Clan."
"Is that so? I know there is a Blackwade Clan out there, but this is surprising. To see he wants to go there by my nomination… It means he wants to go there before reaching God Stage. But can I even nominate him or something like that?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"It's an easy task for a Supreme VIP Card holder. However, you need to contact the main clan first."
"If I want to do that, I need to reach God Stage first, right?"
"Indeed. However, Young Master has an extraordinary cultivating speed. I am sure you can get there in around five to ten years. For Song Jiaoren, he might only barely get another star within that time, so I believe you can fulfill the promise."
"I see." Alex looked down and crossed his arms, pondering the matter. "I want to see what he will do first. If he won't do anything, isn't that my loss?"
"Certainly. For the time being, they are planning to eliminate the first elder and the third elder. Not only will it protect you, but it also proves their stance to support you. Secondly, they will announce the Supreme VIP Card, but nothing about you being the holder, I think. I will need to check this one tomorrow. The last thing you need to know is about the Ancient Ruin. Well, since Young Master wants to go alone, I don't think this is very important." Nicole shrugged.
"What is it?"
"Song Jiaoren has given up his slot to his younger sister since she will be the next patriarch."
Alex narrowed his eyes, recognizing the meaning behind these words. "I see. Song Jiaoren has truly bet his life with this. If he wins, he will be the biggest winner. If he loses, it's over."
"Yeah. This also means that we can use the Blackwade Clan as long as we are in this world." Nicole nodded with a solemn face.
"I understand what you mean… But I only want to destroy the Fire God Clan and do some damage to Snow White Mountain. After that, I don't need Blackwade Clan's help anymore." Alex thought for a moment. "Well, an ally in this world doesn't sound too bad even if it's only as a business partner. Besides, I can also make Rose be protected by the Freedom Sect and Blackwade Clan after I leave."
"You shouldn't forget about the Drunken Pavilion, Young Master." Nicole reminded him with a smile.
"I don't know about the Drunken Pavilion. I only know that Evelyn will surely protect her." Alex said mysteriously. Seeing how Manness's act, he didn't know whether he would still take care of Rose. After all, Manness just used him to solve the internal problem of Drunken Pavilion.
"I understand. I will leave right now."
As soon as she said that, Nicole disappeared. Alex realized why she left in such a hurry and turned around, finding someone behind his door.
*Knock Knock!*
"Come in." Alex waved his hand and opened the door with Spiritual Energy.
Song Jiaoren cupped his hands first before entering the room.
"Sir… We have a problem in our family and will solve it soon. I am sorry to trouble you, but I would like to request you to not leave this courtyard tomorrow."
Alex glanced at him, fully knowing what they wanted to do. "I understand."
"We will handle your transaction after we finish this problem. However, Sir must know that the transaction is too big, so we also need time to calculate everything and prepare the money for you. If Sir doesn't mind, I would like you to wait for a few days."
"Don't worry. I don't have any plan for the time being." Alex nodded with a smile. "Though I might leave the Blackwade Clan and stroll around the city."
"If that is the case, I will be your guide." Song Jiaoren smiled calmly.
"Haha… I will take you up on that offer."
Song Jiaoren nodded and continued. "I would like to inform you about another matter."
"Do tell."
"I am going to pass my quota to fight inside the Ancient Ruin to my younger sister, so I can't help Sir inside the Ancient Battlefield."
"It's fine. I am planning to go alone in that place anyway."
"I understand. And one last thing that I want to ask is when will we attack the Fire God Clan?" Song Jiaoren's face turned serious when he entered this topic.
"Not too soon… In three to five years. It will be bad if we attack now anyway." Alex shook his head with a calm expression.
Song Jiaoren thought for a moment and realized Alex's attention. "I see. If we fight the Fire God Clan now and somehow eliminate them, they will become the symbol of martyrdom, and the disciples of that clan will fight to the death. Even if we attack them now, we won't escape unscathed."
"That's right. Even if we kill a thousand of them, we will suffer eight hundred." Alex paused for a moment. "I want to weaken the Fire God Clan first by making them decline like this for a few years. If we put more and more pressure on them, I think many disciples will leave their clan.
"Seeing the tension between us and the Fire God Clan, the disciples should know that they might lose their lives if they stay, so three to five years are ideal for me." Alex nodded before adding in his heart. 'Well, I am also going to reach 5-Star Martial Saint first before fighting them to make sure I am not useless there.'
"As expected of Sir." Song Jiaoren was admiring Alex's wisdom. He knew he wasn't the smartest person in warfare since there was Princess Elizabeth, but it seemed even she couldn't hold the candle against this Alexander Sirius.
"Still, there is a huge possibility of the Fire God Clan allying with other influences. Phantasm Sect never showed any interest in this area, but the Snow White Mountain, the Ancient Blue Family, and the Divine Kingdom might join them. Even if we get the support of Drunken Pavilion, it will be hard." Song Jiaoren furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't worry. The Divine Kingdom won't interfere." Alex assured him.
Song Jiaoren widened his eyes and opened his mouth. He blinked a few times and got shocked once again.
"The current Divine Kingdom is indeed still ruled by their king. However, fifty percent of their forces have been under Princess Elizabeth. Meanwhile, the king and Prince Julius only have the rest fifty percent. I am sure Princess Elizabeth can handle this situation unless the king and Prince Julius bet it all and act recklessly." Alex nodded.
"I understand. Then the problem will be Ancient Blue Family and Snow White Mountain."
"I think Snow White Mountain will join their alliance."
"If that is the case, the Ancient Blue Family will certainly join their alliance. I am not sure whether the Drunken Pavilion will still fight together with us in this type of situation."
"I am aware. That's why I am preparing for another trump card. After I reach Martial Saint, I am planning to scare the Ancient Blue Family away." Alex smirked evilly.
"What do you mean, Sir? I am not sure whether we can scare them away. Even if I and the Drunken Pavilion come with you, I doubt we can convince them to back away."
"Are you thinking I am planning to have a three vs. three fight?" Alex smiled mysteriously.
Looking at this smile, Song Jiaoren thought for a moment and dropped his jaw to the ground. "Are you planning to involve the fourth influence to join us?"
"Correct. As for the fourth influence, I am sorry, I can't tell you just yet." Alex nodded and closed his eyes. He thought, 'How can I tell you about Freedom Sect this soon. They are basically my trump card.'
"I understand. If we have four influences, the Ancient Blue Family might back away. No, we might even be able to have them play along with us as long as we pay them high enough. If they can fake their alliance and back away right before the big war starts, the Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain will be surrounded by the four influences.
"And with Sir's Fourth Influence, we can scare the enemy and weaken their prowess by showing our strength difference. With this physiological battle alone, our forces will be able to destroy the two influences easier because they are low in morale. This way, we can win the war while minimizing our loss…" Song Jiaoren fell into silence as he suddenly looked at Alex with his eyes and mouth wide open. "Don't tell me… This is your plan all along?"
Alex smirked. "I have been fighting this way this whole time. If I don't minimize my loss, I won't be able to fight the Southern Kingdom, Mount Hua Sect, Joyful Union Sect, or even Fire God Clan in the Northern Continent continuously. Besides, I am going only with a few elites capable of fighting thousands of people."
Song Jiaoren gasped. 'So, this is Alexander Sirius. No wonder so many influences have been razed to the ground while the Fire God Clan has this kind of problem. If Blackwade Clan actually becomes his enemy…'
He decided to shake that thought off because he already decided to be his ally, or even worse, follower. Even so, he didn't feel it was humiliating. From talent, strength, brain, connection, and composure, he had nothing that could beat Alex.
"I understand the grand plan." Song Jiaoren nodded and thought, 'With this, I won't need to be scared of them allying with Snow White Mountain or even Ancient Blue Family. It seems the Fire God Clan meets the opponent that they can't afford to offend… If I can get closer to the Spirit Nest or this Fourth Influence… I think I can set up a different type of measure to protect the Blackwade Clan in the future.'
"Anyway, is that all you want to talk about?"
"Yeah. I want to remind you that we can go to the Ancient Ruin next week. Since our Blackwade Clan is relatively closer than the other influences, we will arrive within a few days at most."
Alex thought for a moment, wondering whether he should go with Blackwade Clan or not. In the end, he accepted the invitation because he was already a guest in their place. "I will leave it to you."
"I understand." Song Jiaoren nodded, rose from the floor, and bowed to him politely. "I will excuse myself."
"Alright."
Song Jiaoren then left the room only to hear a woman's voice from his right.
"Big Brother?"
Song Jiaoren glanced to his right and found a blonde-haired woman walking toward him. Her hair was still wet as if she just had a bath. "I heard that you have a guest… Considering you discuss something with Father and Grandfather secretly, this guest should be someone very important."
"What are you doing here then, Ling'er?" He asked.
"I am just wondering who big brother's guest is…" Song Ling'er looked at the door behind him and realized she could find the guest inside there. She was intrigued to see a guest could make this sudden change in the family. "Father and Grandfather had a severe expression when they left earlier, so I am curious. He/she is staying in the most honored guest room in your courtyard to boot."
"You are curious?" Song Jiaoren noticed how his sister looked at the door behind him, so he walked toward her. He put his hand on her sister's shoulder and asked her to walk. "Let's go then."
Song Ling'er nodded with a smile and followed her big brother. However, she was surprised that he passed the door without opening it and continued walking down the hallway. "Big brother… That's the room, right?"
Song Jiaoren only smiled and forced her to continue walking. "Continue…"
"But that's the room…"
Song Jiaoren still forced her before she suddenly struggled. Song Ling'er wanted to leave his grasp but to no avail. "Brother…"
"Let this big brother educate you first before you could see my guest." Song Jiaoren smiled evilly.
"Eh? I.n.c.e.s.t is a big no, big brother!" Song Ling'er screamed with a pale face.
"Which big brother wants his own little sister? This is why I should educate you. Your mind is filled with those things!" Song Jiaoren continued dragging her somewhere, and the peace came again.
