Chapter 906: Sinister actions Chapter 906: Sinister actions Meanwhile, inside the Grage Family’s grand estate, the atmosphere was tense as the Family Head, Lord Grage, sat behind his imposing mahogany desk.
His sharp eyes bore into the representative standing before him, who had just returned from the Federation Headquarters.
The weight of the family’s future seemed to hang in the balance.
“Did the Federation Head inspect those resources?” Lord Grage’s voice was low, but it carried an edge that made the representative flinch slightly.
The representative, eager to please and hoping to deliver good news, shook his head with a grin.
“No, Head.
The Federation Head simply handed the storage rings over to that brat without even inspecting them.” A sly smile curled at the corners of Lord Grage’s lips, but his eyes remained calculating.
“And what of the boy?
Do you think he’ll notice anything unusual?” The representative hesitated, unsure of how to answer.
“Well, Head, do you think that kid would discover anything?” Lord Grage let out a dismissive snort, his expression turning cold.
“Unlikely.
A few pills were slightly tampered with-nothing that would be immediately noticeable.
They weren’t meant for enhancing physical strength, as they appear to be.
Instead, they’re designed to affect the mind.” His voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper as he continued, “Those particular resources require precise guidance when consumed.
If that boy consumes them without the proper assistance, he’s bound to face severe backlash.
His mind could be affected in ways he won’t expect.
It’s a subtle move, but one that could cause significant harm if everything goes according to plan.” The representative’s eyes widened with a mix of awe and fear.
Lord Grage was known for his cunning, and this scheme only solidified his reputation.
“You’re a genius, Head.
That boy won’t know what hit him.” Lord Grage leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.
“Let’s hope so.
The less they suspect, the better for us.
The Federation might have its eyes on me, but they won’t see this coming.
And when that boy falls, we’ll be ready to move.” The representative nodded eagerly, the gravity of the situation settling in.
Lord Grage’s plan was risky, but if it succeeded, it could cripple their enemies from within.
As he left the room, the weight of the Family Head’s words lingered in the air, a chilling reminder of the ruthless games played in the shadows of power.
“Ha…
Ha…
Ha…” Lord Grage’s laughter echoed through the dimly lit room, a sinister sound that sent chills down the spine of anyone who might have heard it.
The corners of his mouth curled into a wicked grin, the satisfaction of his plot seeping into every fiber of his being.

At first, Lord Grage hadn’t intended to resort to such measures.
He preferred to maintain a façade of civility, avoiding unnecessary conflicts with the Federation.
But the compensation demanded for Zack Lockwood had hit him hard-too hard.
Those resources, painstakingly gathered over the years, represented a significant portion of the family’s wealth.
They were rare, valuable, and not easily replaced.
The loss was a bitter pill to swallow.
As he reflected on the situation, his expression darkened.
The thought of seeing Zack grow stronger, fueled by the resources his family had sacrificed, was intolerable.
Though the tampering wouldn’t kill the boy outright, it was a subtle, insidious attack.
Injuries from the tampered pills could undermine Zack’s foundation, slowing his progress or worse-crippling his future potential.
And the beauty of it all?
There would be no way to trace it back to him.
Since the Federation Head hadn’t bothered to inspect the storage rings before handing them over, there would be no evidence, no proof of his involvement.
Even if Zack suspected something, the damage would already be done, and there would be nothing he could do about it.
Lord Grage’s confidence in his scheme grew with each passing moment.
He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest as he savored the thought of Zack struggling, his path to power disrupted by unseen forces.
The boy might never know what hit him, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it would be too late.
“He won’t die,” Lord Grage mused, his voice dripping with malice, “but he’ll suffer.
And that suffering will be enough to make all of this worth it.” In his mind, the plan was flawless.
The Federation Head’s negligence would shield him from suspicion, and Zack’s misfortune would be seen as nothing more than an unfortunate accident-one of many that could befall a young warrior on the rise.
It was a scheme born of desperation and greed, but one that might just tip the scales back in his favor.
Satisfied with his plotting, Lord Grage allowed himself a final chuckle.
“Yes, this will work.
And when it does, I’ll have my revenge without even lifting a finger.” With that, he leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with malevolent glee, ready to watch as his enemies unknowingly fell into the trap he had so carefully laid.
..
The representative stood frozen, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched the Grage Family Head’s reaction.
The sinister laughter that filled the room sent a shiver down his spine, and he could feel the cold sweat beginning to bead on his forehead.
He had known Lord Grage to be a shrewd and calculating man, but this…
this was something else entirely.
As the realization of what had just transpired sank in, the representative’s unease grew.
He hadn’t expected the Family Head to seize this opportunity to inflict further damage, especially not in such a subtle and devious manner.
The compensation had already been a heavy blow, but now it was clear that Lord Grage intended to extract a different kind of payment-one that would hurt even more.
The representative swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure.
Lord Grage was not just making the best of a bad situation; he was weaponizing it.
With the Federation Head’s apparent negligence in inspecting the storage rings, Lord Grage had found a way to strike at Zack without fear of reprisal.
The timing was perfect, and no one would dare to question the Family Head’s actions-not now, when tensions were high and loyalties were tested.
