《Old Cultivation Record》Chapter 49 - Very Confident
Advertisement
Taylor tried. They did the best they could. The war effort had lasted for 7 months, but they were already beginning to falter. Taylor understood where they were failing; there was no coordination with the Naturalists. Although they were on the same side, they acted like two separate groups, in an unsynchronized manner. Never mind a higher level of cooperation, they didn't even help each other out during a fight. They fought like they weren't even on the same side.
But Taylor couldn't do anything about that. The other side didn’t trust them. As they saw it, we were the same as their enemies, and if they managed ti succeed in their defense, Taylor’s group would probably be another target when it came time to strike back.
Taylor held the phone and stared at the contact on his phone; it was the number for the war effort’s management division. He was about to make the call and throw in the towel. They had lost too many people and it would be better to salvage what they could and re-organize for the next stage, then continue with a futile struggle.
As he hesitates, he hears a knock on the door. Taylor raises an eyebrow? Hope? Are you there? He thinks to himself before walking to the door.
Taylor opens the door and sees a familiar face.
“We’re ready to talk.” Tasha says with a gloomy face.
…
…
“Unfortunately we can’t forgive what led up to this, Taylor. I’ll say this now, as a courtesy for our previous friendship, if we win this fight, you’ll be our next target.” Tasha says with a cold and emotionless face.
“And we’re going to kick your ass too.” Jared says with a smirk.
Taylor frowns. “Fuck you, Jared. If it wasn’t for us, you assholes wouldn’t have even made it this far. But whatever, I don’t fuckin’ care. We can fight it out afterwards if you want; for now, let’s put out the fire in front of us.” Taylor says dismissively. He didn’t care. He just wanted to make it to the next step.

“Well… I’m glad you have no delusions of alliances and the sort.” Tasha says as she gets up. “Our people will contact your people. To be honest, we would’ve been fine without you. But we kind of feel bad that you’re putting so much effort in something pointless while still taking so much losses. We’re very confident in our win, with or without you, but seeing as you’re taking such a beating, we’ll try to assist in extending what little life there is for you to live.” She says as she looks down at Taylor.
Taylor’s eyes widen. “Are you fucking serious? You guys aren’t hiding a bunch of eighth stage Naturalists, are you?” He asks, unsure if he should believe it.
“I’ll leave that for you to ponder.” She says before signalling with her hand. “Come, Jared. We have cultivators to kill.” She says before walking towards the door, ignoring Taylor’s reaction.
Taylor’s wide eyes continue to stare. Is that a hint of a smile on her face? Taylor asks himself.

8 202Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)
‘’ Ladies and gentlemen of Panem, for the Pageant of the one hundred and twenty fifth annual Hunger Games, or the fifth Quarter Quell, we have a special treat in store. Here in Panem, we are all depending on something, the Capitol depends on the twelve districts for goods, the districts depend on the Capitol for food and protection but also, the districts depend on each other. To highlight the fact that the districts of Panem are so dependent on each other, the tributes in this year’s Hunger Games will be randomly paired with one another. The pairs will be connected via a new Capitol invention that will mean when one of them dies, so does the other. This will mean that the pairs will have to protect each other, because their lives are in their partner’s hands and vice versa. As you may be wondering how this will affect the final outcome, I am very excited to announce that for the first time ever in Hunger Games history, two tributes will be able to win! Yes, you heard me correct. There will be two victors! You will all hear more about this after the Reapings have commenced, until then, I bid you all adieu. The one hundred and fiftieth annual Hunger Games has officially begun!’’
