Chapter 469 Burnett Clan’s Meeting
The Dragon City, Burnett Clan:
The Capital's land mass was stretched for hundreds of miles.
Apart from the commercial area. Where the Central Auction, Treasure Houses, Restaurants, and other business houses do business.
And the area is occupied by three big academies which include the Yellow River Academy, the Weapon Palace, and the Royal Force Hall.
The rest of the area was occupied by small and medium-sized wizard families.
Among such areas, The Burnett Clan is located in the South West of the Capital.
Right now, a high-level meeting is taking place in the Burnett Clan. All of this happened because of the death of one of the high-level elders Cortez Burnett.
Swoosh~
A medium-sized flying aircraft lands on the platform before the entrance. The appearance of medium-sized aircraft alarmed the guards who were guarding the gate.
Creak~
The door opens, and a person wearing a stoic expression steps out. He is none other than Tony Burnett.
He was summoned by his father. So it's impossible to skip the meeting. When he turned around and saw the huge gate.
A quick glint flashes in his eyes,
The huge gate was depicted with pictures of the Red wolf. Which is a symbol of their clan. And on both sides of the gate, two stone sculptures can be seen.
The stone sculptures are of Red Wolf. It is sculpted in a way that it looks like a real wolf is pouncing on its prey.
He pauses his footsteps for a movement before touching the storage bracelet on his left wrist.
"The forbidden potion?" He muttered in his heart. He didn't reveal the matter to his father or other elders.
At that time, he thought about getting Elder Cortez's permission before doing anything. Now he decides to bring up this matter in the meeting at an appropriate time.
Then he started walking. The guards at the entrance immediately recognized his face.
"The young master is here. Open the gate," One of them quickly shouted.
Tony Burnett ignored everything around him. And headed towards the main hall where the meeting is taking place.
On the way, people made their way in fear. After taking a dozen steps forward. He walked into the main hall.
The family head was seated in the main seat. From his left to right, the family elders are seated.
All the elders gathered here are high-level wizards. The Wizard's power ranges from level-5 to level-6. He was a level-5 Wizard.
His father, the head of the clan, is Peak Stage Level-6 Wizard. The Clan Head touched the limit. But because of the bloodline limit. He couldn't break through.
After Tony's appearance, everyone turned toward him. The atmosphere became quiet.
The Clan Head Darrell Burnett finally opened his mouth to speak.
"You are here. Come and sit. Tell us what's happening?" Darrell said.
Tony Burnett nodded his head before finding an empty seat to sit down. He is feeling scorching gazes from everyone sitting here.
The death of Cortez Burnett is not a small issue. It has greater implications. One less level-6 wizard in the clan can cause a lot of suffering.
Tony Burnett met the eyes of everyone. He was not as cocky as before. Earlier, everyone favored him because he has the potential to break through to reach level-7 wizard.
The potential lies in the bloodline. But it's not easy to utilize the potential. For that, he needs a bloodline potion or any treasure equivalent to cause improvement to his bloodline.
But such special relics are hard to come by. He can only rely on the bloodline improvement potion.
Now that such a mishap has happened. Everyone is having second thoughts about whether I should get my hands on the bloodline potions or not.
But Tony quickly destroys such thoughts in his heart. He knows he can't handle some of the elders. But his father can suppress them.
The next moment, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Clan Head and all elders. I have something to say."
"Elder Cortez might have been killed by the Sub-Taboo Hall Wizard in our academy."
When he dropped those words. Everyone's expression changes drastically.
The Clan Head Darrell squinted his eyes. He wasn't surprised by his son's words. Because their movement was not secret lately.
With little effort, anyone can tell. What's their purpose?
Darrell asked back, "So they are aware of our actions."
Tony furrowed his eyebrows. He doesn't know what his father is up to. But he nodded his head in response.
"Sub-Taboo Hall Wizards?"
"How dare they?"
"Clan Head, we should seek revenge."
One by one some of the hot-headed elders start to echo their opinion.
"Silence," Darrell uttered before releasing small coercion.
Quiet~
Everyone became stiff on the spot. Even Tony's heart was racing.
After glancing at everyone, Darrell said in a cold tone.
"Do you want our clan to disappear silently?"
"Don't forget we are just a clan of level-6 wizard powerhouses. If the truly strong wizard of Sub-Taboo Hall makes a move."
"Do you think we stand a chance? They can destroy us with a snap of their fingers," Darrell added further.
His words pour cold water on hot-headed elders' heads. Others' expressions were not good either. They forgot that Sub-Taboo Hall is one of the strongest wizard halls.
Level-6 Wizard was like an ant to them.
"Clan Head, what should we do now?" One of the women elders asked.
"We shouldn't have involved ourselves in fighting in the first place. It doesn't matter whether it's a Bloodline Hall or the Sub-Taboo Hall. It's something we can't afford to offend."
"Now if we cross the line, it will directly cause anger among the Sub-Taboo Hall's elders," Darrell said.
Hearing that everyone became dispirited. You can't seek revenge. At the same time, you should hope there will be no second attack on the clan instead.
Darrell sighed inwardly. It all started from the words of bloodline hall's higher-ups. Their promise to give a bloodline enhancement potion to Tony which broke everyone's mind.
No one was able to think logically including him. For that potion's sake, he dispatched the clan elders to chase and hunt down the target.
But that kid Vincent Carey disappeared at the border. Now weeks after, their clan elder was dead.
Suddenly, Darrell looked at Tong who was silently listening to everyone.
He asked, "Tony, did higher-ups say anything to you?" Darrell hopes to hear that the deal was not off.
Tony Burnett thought it was the right time to bring up the topic. He nodded his head at Father. The Clan elders stopped their murmuring to listen to him.
Then Tony spoke about his meeting with the mystery women of the elder house. Also about the matter of the forbidden potion.
A few minutes later,
Everyone's face became heavy. The Clan Head Darrell's expression became dark. He knew the bloodline hall was ruthless.
But they still want to use their family as a gun even after those failures. What a forbidden potion! Elder Cortez's death was just a warning.
If they still make a move against that kid, it will be tantamount to offending the Sub-Taboo Hall. He fears that their Clan's destruction might become true in the future.
"Tony, are you aware of the consequences of offending the Sub-Taboo Hall?" Darrell asked.
"Clan Head, wait!"
"Higher-ups hope that I become a Level-7 wizard and join the Elder House soon. Then nobody will attack our family."
"Even the Sub-Taboo Hall wants to destroy us but they won't attack. Because of the academy rules," Tony said with a smile on his face.
He still didn't give up on using the forbidden potion.
Tony's words brought new hope to others. But Darrell was still skeptical. Because Tony was a level-5 wizard. It will take some time for him to reach the level-6 wizard.
And there's still a period left to become a level-7 wizard. He doesn't think that the Sub-Taboo Hall will show any patience until then.
