Chapter 2499 Before the Death Match
After a few hours of meeting and trying to get allies to join their faction and help them fight the level 114 general, Minos and Sender headed to the place where Kendrick would face a deadly battle in less than two hours.
On their way to the challenge arena outside of the city, Minos and Sender dropped the subject of the only two allies they’d managed to get that afternoon.
A level 112 Sovereign and a level 113 Sovereign had accepted Minos’ proposals and promised to join his group and help him with his current problems.
Minos didn’t need to mention the current level of his problems. Any guild internal member who was aware of what was going on in the inner city knew what obstacles stood in this human’s way.
Nevertheless, the two aliens agreed to join him, believing in both the potential of Minos’ faction and the welcome gifts he had given them for their initial agreement.
But as they made their way to the arena outside the guild, Minos and Sender had something more important on their minds.
“What do you think of Sediel’s warning? I didn’t expect her to tell us that an Elder is watching you.” Sender looked at Minos worriedly.
Why had an Elder been watching Minos for centuries? If it was for a good reason, why hadn’t this Elder already contacted him? If this Elder hadn’t done so, what were the chances that it would be negative for Minos and his allies?
These doubts already frightened Sender!
“I was surprised, too. I confess, I can’t think of a reason for it.” He answered Sender’s question sincerely, wondering if it was something he had done, his potential, or something he had yet to do.
Anything was possible, considering the power of cultivators at the highest level of cultivation!
Minos himself knew about things that would only happen in the long run, which is why he let Grisdi live and brought her with him. So it was quite possible that someone stronger than him, with clairvoyant abilities, could also know about his future.
Henricus Longus had helped him for a long time by protecting his future from third parties. But now he could no longer rely on him. Someone much stronger than him, who knew him and had clairvoyant abilities, could check Minos’ fate.
‘I hope it’s nothing negative. The fact that he’s been watching me for so long without giving me any signs or even approaching me means he’s probably waiting for something—which means I don’t have to worry, at least for now.’ He thought as he clenched his fists, feeling the insecurity and unease of someone who couldn’t do anything about something so serious.
“All we can do is wait. Eventually, we’ll have a development on this.”
With those words, he entered the dueling arena and soon made his way to the fighters’ area, where Kendrick was already with Lily and Vico.
The rest of the faction would watch Kendrick’s duel, but they would only come to the arena at the time of the match, which was scheduled for over an hour and a half in advance.
Seeing his two sons there, Minos smiled and said aloud. “Looks like you two are getting into trouble, huh? No wonder you’re growing up so fast!”
Hearing Minos’ distinctive voice, the three who were chatting in a special cultivation room turned their faces to the two newcomers.
“Father!” Lily said, her lip curling as she saw her favorite person in the world back in the guild.
Kendrick smiled at his old man’s comment and said. “We’re following the Stuart family line of troublemakers.”
Minos laughed as he stopped next to Kendrick and patted the young man on the shoulder, looking forward to the confrontation ahead. “How are you doing? Are you confident that you will defeat your opponent?”
“Yes. I would have killed him if we weren’t in the guild. But since I couldn’t do that in the situation where he tried to kill me, I preferred to make it official. This way, I’ll at least be able to collect his merit points.”
“Hmm, you did well.” Minos nodded, confident in his eldest son’s abilities.
Looking at Vico and greeting him, Minos showed the two eggs he had brought with him.
“These are gifts I collected in the Magma Barrens. Choose one, Lily.” Minos said as he gave his daughter the chance to choose in front of Kendrick.
After the girl chose one of the eggs and thanked Minos, he gave the remaining egg to Kendrick.
After telling them both similar words to what he had already told Hollie, he told Kendrick to show him some of her skills.
For the next 50 minutes, Minos traded tips with his eldest son, helping him adapt and learn how to better deal with tough opponents.
Dozens of minutes weren’t enough to change all of a warrior’s mistakes, but it was enough for a genius to improve a few points in his fighting style.
At the end of this training break with his father, Kendrick would cultivate to recover and mentally prepare for his fight, which would take place in less than an hour.
Lily stayed behind to accompany her brother while Minos, Vico, and Sender made their way to the spectator wing.
“How was your trip out of the guild? Did you hear about the problems we had recently?” Vico asked as he walked next to them.
“It went well, I’d say. And yes, we are aware of the problems. We’ll solve them little by little. But for now, we have no choice but to take things slowly and withstand the pressure. Many people are watching us right now,” Minos answered the man beside him.
“When will you go out on missions outside the guild again?”
“In a month at the most. In the meantime, I’ll stay here and do some of my punishment missions that can be done inside the guild. As soon as I’m done with some preparations, I’ll leave to face the worst of my problems.” Vico looked worriedly at Minos as he sat down next to him in the front row of the arena. “Are you confident?”
“Don’t worry. Just keep working and take advantage of the opportunities. There will soon be many opportunities for advancement within the guild. You and the others must take advantage of them to become internal members.”
