Cold treatment from clan's elder, young people of the clan, even from my own servants, are things that were within my expectations and something I was okay to deal with. But this is completely a different issue. I am not a person to hold into something forcefully but there are somethings which involves dignity of a person. Things like that can not be taken lightly.

“Are they here for annulling the marriage contact? “, I asked and even though I tried, my voice was showing a hint of anger.

“Not quite, they want to swap the holder of the contact.”

“you mean?”

“Yes, me instead of you. The great elders summoned me and informed me about the matter.”

“Does Liz knows about it? Or it was the decision of her clan? “

“It seems she does, I heard she said that our clan needed to have a Dragon in order to pact a Phoenix”

“Hahaha, such nice words, that hypocrite woman. I still remember her flattery from few days before. Hahaha, those words I will remember them”.

I was angry this time, all those things that were happening right now, all those double faced bastards who wagged around their dog's tail before me changing now, I didn’t care about it. But this particular incident, seriously annoyed me. I calm myself down and looked at Tatti.

“So, you agreed?”

“No, I refused.”

“What? But why?”

“I will rather have a chameleon at my yard and watch it change it's color. Who knows if she were to have a powerful suitors, she might stab me in the back. Such woman disgusts me.”

I looked at this guy again, although I always felt that he was special but I still end up underestimating him. No wonder, even after being bullied for so long, he didn’t lost himself.

“The elders didn’t agree with your decision, right?”

“Of course not, they told me to not think much about it and focus on my cultivation. I can rethink about it later. But I told them, no matter how much time goes by, my answer will be the same. They seemed pretty pissed off. After all they don’t want to make an adverse relationship with Shin clan.”

“Even if they don’t want to do it, they should have summoned me before summoning you. I am the one who is holding the contact. The marriage contact, although the clan plays a great role behind it, it’s held by an individual. So, my worth has gone so low that they are not even considering before disrespecting me, huh? Well It’s alright. “

“You want to talk with them? It won't change anything and forcefully holding that contact will harm you more. Besides that woman is not worth that attention.”

“No, I have my own plan regarding it. Don’t worry, I am still the current clan master's son after all. They will need to pay some price, if they want the contact.”

I looked at Tatti with mixed feelings and said, “Your life was quite miserable because of that thing, I said before. Why did you help me so much?”

“I am quite talented that much I know. But I am not good enough to handle assault from an entire clan's younger generation. Surprisingly, I got more resources than people who were even stronger than me. The elders told me it was my compensation for getting bullied. But I am not a fool to think there are so much generosity in a clan such as this. You made my conditions miserable but you also gave me the opportunity to become who I am now.”

“So you knew, huh? Hey Tatti.”

“Yes?”

“Three years from now, the grand practitioner's hunt will be held. Prepare yourself, I will see you there.”, I looked at Tatti. The demeanor and the aura that was surrounding me completely changed and it was no where near the aura that a basic grade martial spirit holder should possess. It was the bearing of a ruler, of a conqueror, of a slaughterer.

Tatti looked at me with surprise, he was clearly stupefied watching me like this but he soon picked himself up and nodded his head.

“I will wait for you brother Arya”

This was the moment when a wonderful brotherhood was formed. Nobody imagined this little interaction between this two young masters that formed this bond will end up saving the entire Vihan clan in the future.
