342: Damien's revenge (2)

Damien's revenge (2)

The three living ancestors simultaneously shifted their eyes away from their religion's beads and settled their gaze on Damien. 0

"The book of rules? Didn't the book go missing a few decades ago?" One of the elders asked with narrowed eyes. 

"Yes, that was what I heard. The book was taken away by the Lu clan when they fought with our Yu clan." An old woman joined in. 

"There was also a rumor that the Xu clan has it. How did Young Master Damien read it?" A middle–aged man frowned. 

"Damien–"

He raised his hand to stop Emilee from speaking further. "Just now, you acknowledged me as your Master. Henceforth, address me as such." This time, he didn't smile or laugh. His face looked ruthless, sending shivers down Emilee's spine. But she didn't let that deter her. 

"Master Damien is funny. You didn't mind lying about something so big. I wonder what the Living ancestors would do to you after your lies are discovered." she smiled.

"You should worry about yourself, Emilee. What do you think that they would do to you if they found out you lied about the Rainborite stone?" Damien beamed. 

"Huh?" 

"What?" 

"Damien!" 

"Insolence!" 

"Watch your tongue, Damien!" 

The Elders were all angry at Damien for what he said because they were scared that if it turned out to be true, they would be the ones to get punished for not checking facts before dragging the Living ancestors out from seclusion. 

"What are you talking about?" Emilee frowned. If her Intel deceives her, Maverick wouldn't. So what rubbish is Damien saying? 

"Oh, you didn't know? Well, there was no Rainborite stone. You were misinformed." 

Emilee and everyone else froze. A part of them believed what Damien said but the other part didn't want to accept it. 

Damien might be evil and unserious sometimes but when he talks, especially about important things, he doesn't joke. 

"It's all up to you if you don't believe me. Why would Maverick remain in the Country if there was Rainborite stone?" he smiled cunningly as he stared at Emilee. 

It was at this point that Emiled knew she was being played into her own mess. 

When she reported the Rainborite stone to the Elders and the Living ancestors, they asked her who it was that was holding the stone but she said he was a powerful stranger that must not be offended because he has a connection with the Dark– age organization.

However, now, Damien was trying to entangle her in her web of lies which would tell that she lied to everyone, proof that she has bad intentions towards the Yu clan. 

Before Emilee could speak, Damien beat her to it. "Or do you intend to tell us that only you knew about the Rainborite stone? The Xu family, The Lu family, The Dark– Age, The Half–heart and even The Sin. You are saying none of them but you know about the Rainborite stone? Even me who had been on an island for months is aware of the appearance of the Rainborite ORE!"

"Ore?" Someone asked. 

"Yes, it's not just a stone, it's an Ore!" Damien smiled at Emilee's face which showed a panicked expression. 

"Emilee, why did you lie about it? Why would you say it's a Rainborite stone instead of a large ore in a mine? What do you stand to gain? Ah, if you ask me, I would say;

"The Rainborite Ore is with Emilee but because she knew that everyone would be on her neck, she decided to lie about the size just so she could get the Clan to protect her when the time comes. 

"Emilee intended to make the Clan her weapon. While the Yu clan is fighting the enemies from all sides, she would escape with the rest of the Ore that can be broken into stones. Isn't that a bad intention? 

"Although I'm wicked, I can't treat the Yu Clan the way you are doing now, because they are MY FAMILY!" 

"Y– you are lying! Don't listen–" Emilee tried to defend herself but everyone in the room was already glaring at her, including the three Living ancestors.

"I– I'm innocent of the accusation. The person who owns the mine is Alpha Chaos, not me!" 

Immediately she said that Damien roared with boisterous laughter. 

"Hahahahaha… Now I understand why Chaos would be that evil. Emilee, you're ruthless. So because you've been caught, you decided to make innocent Chaos take the fall for you?" He sighed and continued. 

"We know that Chaos' little wife is your half-sister whom you hate with every fiber in you. You have plotted with me to kill her multiple times and even stole her inheritance. 

"That wasn't enough, you killed her grandfather and sent her to jail. Alpha Chaos took her out and brought her to the Country to be under his wings. 

"Despite being under Chaos' protection, that girl didn't come for you and your little sister, still you didn't let her rest. 

"Your sister kept bullying her until Chaos' wife struck back. To seek revenge for your sister, you want to implicate Chaos who has been minding his business and living his life away from the Yu clan." Damien concluded with a thoughtful look on his face. 

"Emilee, do you hate our Yu clan so much?" An Elder who hasn't said a thing since, roared. 

"I knew she had bad intentions for being a member of this family!"

"She should be dealt with and set as an example for others!"

More than half of the Elders agreed that Emilee should be taken care of.

Meanwhile, the Living ancestors haven't said a thing, so no one dared to carry out their threat. 

Damien didn't plan to scheme or waste words like this before coming here. He had intended to send Emilee to Jeslyn to fully redeem himself but never expected to meet those ancestors. 

Left with no other choice, his excellent mind went to work and immediately cooked Emilee. Now she's ready to be served. Hahaha…
