I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1805: 24.66 Sixth Violet Star - Request

Long Tian’s opening remarks as soon as he saw the father and son, Mu Yao and Mu Liao, left everyone dumbfounded. The words ’repay what you owe’, was something the Mu Jia didn’t expect to hear from someone in the Long Clan.

However, the current marshal remains calm under the stare of the Mu patriarch and Mu Liao.

He continued to speak, ”Mr. Mu was saved by my father in the slums and helped him change his and his family life for better. This life changing debt can be cancelled for when you save my father in the massacre in the ancient forest.”

”Mr. Mu’s hard work during the times can cancel the resources you got from my clan. That will be considered yours as of now. The beasts under your contract will be fully yours.”

”However, the wages and all other bonuses must be repaid. We don’t want money. There is only one thing you need to do for us. In exchange, we will give you something to cure not only your internal injuries but also help you grow your limbs.”

”This is...can be considered a payment for what the Mu Jia will do for us next. Is Mr. Mu interested in hearing our request? If not that is also okay, the Jin Jia is also in the same situation. We don’t care if either of the two of you would like to accept the job.”

Mu Liao, the more he listened to Marshal Long’s words the more offended he was. He wanted to retort when his father gave him a glare which immediately shut him up.

The Mu Patriarch, Mu Yao, asked, ”Is this what the old marshal had told you to do?”

”No. He is completely against asking any one of you. He wanted to have nothing to do with you. He said a broken trust can never be restored. However, to me, all debts must be repaid. Whether it is voluntarily or by force,” the current marshal, Long Tian, said.

The Mu Patriarch, Mu Yao asked, ”Is it not possible for me to see the old marshal?”

”My father’s heart wounds are too deep to heal. That’s why he just chose to forget about it. For your family’s safety you must not regret. It is just this choice of yours, no matter what it is you wanted to do. Do not get my father involved. He no longer wants to see any of you. Not now and not in the future,” Long Tian said.

He prepares to leave but calls the butler to show them the guestroom.

Long Tian said, ”You have three hours to decide. If you agree I will send people to inform you of the details of the request. Please excuse me. I still have a lot of things to do.” He left the room without looking back even once.

It was only at this moment that Mu Liao realized that the old relationship between the two families can no longer be repaired. He had seen his father’s bloodshot eyes as if wanting to cry but trying his hardest to stop them. He knew his father had regretted his past actions before. However, it is already too late for everything.

The old butler appeared once again and said, ”I will not escort you to the guestroom. Follow me, please.”

Mu Liao and Mu Yao were escorted by the old butler to the guestrooms they used before. It was abandoned for a long time and the servants of the palace took a long time cleaning the place. To call it a guest room is incorrect. It’s a detached manor near the main palace.

The more Mu Yao looks, the more nostalgic he becomes. Every corner of this manor had his traces. But he can also see the traces of it not being maintained as if it was abandoned for a long time.

He can still recall the old marshal who didn’t want to build this manor and have him live with them in the main palace.

”A’Yao, even though I agree to build this manor you are still in need to eat dinner with us in the main palace.”

”Master, I am a slave. I cannot...”

”Nonsense! Who told you that!? You don’t even have a slave seal and even got promoted to have your own position. I will not allow you to look down on yourself!”

”Haha~ alright. Master, I will listen to you. Thank you for this big manor.”

”Big your ass! You picked the small among the rest of the manor’s blueprints!”

Mu Yao couldn’t help but shed tears at these memories. Mu Liao wanted to say something but he was asked to leave the room.

”You go out for now. I will call you when I have made a decision.” The Mu Patriarch said.

Mu Liao before leaving the place. ”Alright, father.” The moment he left the room, he heard his father’s stifled cry coming from inside the room.

He knew how much the Mu Jia had owed the Long Clan. However, he thought that everything he had right now had nothing to do with the Long Clan and all of it was his hard work. But now it seems that everything his family has right now was given by the old marshal who used to support them with everything.

Mu Liao mumbles, ”No wonder. After my family betrayed the Long Clan all those who supported us before had either stopped supporting them or even attacked them. Without a backer, they were almost destroyed.”

The master of the Tower of Mercenaries now had nothing to do with the Long Clan. Because of this, it was hard for them to keep their position. The current marshal will still support them a little and things stabilized. However, just one evening was enough for everything to fall.

Mu Liao mumbles, ”That night must be the day the current marshal learned the details of my father’s betrayal and even he pulled out all his support for their families. No wonder even Jin Yang was asking for help from me. The marshal had cut off all support to those families who had betrayed them and replaced those that could be replaced with his people.”

”As expected, he had always been ruthless towards his enemy. That’s why he was entitled as a Marshal that rules his position with a hard fist than connection. He is not like the kind-hearted old marshal.”

Meanwhile, at the Old Marshal’s room.

Long Tian saw father and brother helping the two youngsters of the family find the most suitable armor to wear in the journey.

”How does this feel, Teng’er?” Long Kian asked his son.

Long Teng, who was to wear thick steel armor, complained, ”Dad, it’s too heavy and I can barely move!”

”Really? But this is an armor with the strongest defense,” said Long Kian, who received a hit on the back of his head from his father.

The old marshal bellowed, ”I told you to give Teng’er something light that protects her vitals. Who told you to bring out such heavy armor!”

”But father you guys are going to the barren land. Isn’t it safer to wear something thick?” Long Kian said.

Long Huang retorted, ”And then be unable to move, get surrounded and bullied by beasts! Use your head! Give him light armor!”

”Okay~” said Long Kian.

Thud!

All of a sudden, in front of their eyes, Long Teng who was wearing heavy armor fell on the ground unable to get up.

Long Teng flails but is unable to move. He now looks like a turtle who fell on its back unable to turn over.

”Dad, help me! I cannot move!!”

The old man and Long Tian who just arrived look at Long Kian who made this scene giving him a judgmental stare making the latter sweat.

”G-Grandpa, I think this light armor is enough. I don’t want to look like a turtle,” said Long Juedi with a fearful look on his face.

Long Tian said, ”Son, wear the chest armor I gave to you on your last birthday.”

”Oh. That’s in my room. I will go get it!” Long Juedi said as he ran out.

Following him was a small fair with a golden glow. This is the support type Beast egg he got from the warden as a gift. It had hatched and he had signed a life and death contract with it.

As for Long Kian and his son, he had carried his son over to the next room as he knew that his brother wanted to talk to their father about the Mu Jia. After the others had left, Long Huang who was still looking through the armors scattered in the room didn’t speak right away. Of course, Long Tian didn’t either. After all, the names of the clans who had betrayed the old marshal had become his greatest taboo.

It took a while before the old marshal spoke and asked, ”How is the situation?”

”I had given Mu Jia a chance as you wish. But I didn’t even tell them the details of the request. Normal people wouldn’t agree to it blindly.”

”Also... Uncle Mu... the Mu Patriarch requests to see you, father.” the current marshal, Long Tian said.

The Old marshal thought for a moment before saying, ”If he agreed unconditionally to the request without asking anything... I will see him. Go continue your work.”

”I understand, father,” said Long Tian.
