When all the elders have left the room, Wyatt was just about to walk out when Simon called him.
" Wyatt I suggest you stop whatever you are thinking about else you are going to pay for it if father was to find out".
" I don't know exactly what you are talking about" replied Wyatt before walking out of the room.
" Act like you don't know what I am talking about," said Simon to Wyatt while going his own way.
After their little chat, Wyatt went back to his room. On getting there he commanded his servants to leave his room before smashing a glass of wine that was on the table.
" That cunning Simon how did he know I was making a move against Ellis return, just you wait when am done with Ellis it will be your turn," said young master Wyatt before yelling.
" Brodie is the preparation going" asked Wyatt.
The room remained silent, and it was like young master Wyatt was talking to himself but then his shadow began to split into two and a man came out of the shadow. He was no other than young master Wyatt's loyal subordinate Brodie.
" Everything is going according to plan young master" replied Brodie while bowing down.
" You will have to make some adjustments to the plan," said young master Wyatt
" There is no need to worry about young master Ellis returned for the men that will be working under me in this mission are professionals" replied Brodie
" Am not worried about my little boy, but I just heard in the meeting that commander Derrick is protecting him from the shadows," said young master Wyatt.
" This, how could the clan head send commander Derrick to protect young master Ellis, ain't his maids with him," asked Brodie.

" I suspect my brother Simon is behind it, and it seems like he knows what we are planning to do" replied young master Wyatt
" That's impossible, there is no way he could have heard or caught us in our scheme," said Brodie in shock.
" Am also a surprise but am not too worried about him since he won't have any evidence, but we still have to be cautious from now on" replied young master Wyatt.
" Understood young master Wyatt," said before leaving the room via the same shadow.
" Just you wait Simon, it won't be long before the role of clan head falls into my hand," said young master Wyatt in a sinister voice.
Back at warberry cave, everything was back to normal after a day of rest from the battle with the gnurx goblins and the workers are back to their daily routines while a distance from the cave, you could hear the sound of explosion and trees falling one after the other.
And the cause of this explosion was no other than Ray and Ellis who were having a little spar. And by the side stood a kate who seen to be enjoying herself.
After exchanging a few blows they both separated from each other and Ray was about to dash at Ellis with his blade, but before he could make a move, Ellis fell and started panting.
" Hey, are you done already" asked Ray while panting?
" Haha, sorry to disappoint you but am done for the day" replied Ellis my laughing.
" I wonder how you were able to stay alive after the fight with the gnurx goblins," said ray while keeping his blade back in his scabbard.
" Maybe it just not my time to leave the world now" replied Ellis while stay laughing.

" By the way, you are really strong for a fatty," said Ray before sitting down.
" Who are you calling a fatty and have you not heard about the saying don't just a book by its cover" replied Ellis with anger for being called fatty.
" Yeah, but it was just a saying," said Ray while chuckling.
" You seem to be able to stand-off against me even though am a level ahead of you," asked Ray.
" Are you surprise, well the technique I practiced enhances my body making it stronger while causing my cultivation to be sluggish which is why are my brothers are way ahead of me" replied Ellis while laying down on his back.
" I see, hope you don't mind if I asked how you were able to cultivate the technique when your father knows it will only lead to this" asked Ray
" That's because he did not know and even now he thinks the reason I am not able to improve in my cultivation was due to been lazy" replied Ellis.
" Since he did not know about it, then why didn't you bother to tell him," asked Ray once again.
" Well, that's because I don't feel like telling him" replied Ellis.
Ellis got up and stretch his body before walking out of the forest and went to the cave while Ray remains laying on the grass in the forest.
" Since am alone, this should be the best time for me to rest before those goblins attack again," said ray to himself while looking at the sunny sky.
Meanwhile, each were in the forest Morris was leading his two hundred men to the cave and by dawn, they will be approaching the cave. While they were making their way to the cave, a silhouette was following then and after a while, the silhouette disappears only to appear in another part of the forest where two men were standing.
" Commander, the gnurx are already on the move," said one of commander Derrick's men who were tailing the gnurx.
" As expected, I how reinforcement will arrive in time to give young master Ellis a hand" replied commander Derrick before turning to the silhouette and asked
" Anything else".
" It's seen like the gnurx are only probing since the number of armies sent this time around is small unlike their first attack asked the man.
" Since they are only probing, then you will be aiding young master Ellis and make them think our strength is just so before giving them the shock of a lifetime" replied commander Derrick.
The silhouette now before leaving the forest.

This story has been published, but I'm adding it here for Royal Road readers to enjoy.
8 149Emperor NPC
The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale. A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god! “It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.” By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them. A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here! ---------------- I'm going to be upfront here. This is not an anti-hero story. So, if you've come for anti-hero you might not enjoy it. The cover art I commissioned from my friend @cyborgraptor. You can find her on twitter, or tumblr. Absolutely awesome person, and way too humble. She's also a great dps on WoW, and her and I always fought for top of the meters. I update every day, or nearly every day. I'll be updating this quickly as I bring it to parity with my other sites. Afterwards, expect 6 or 7 chapters a week. This is my only job and I approach it professionally.
