Chapter 316 Wait For The Right Moment To Strike
"Just what were you thinking?!" Arthur glared at the ten-year-old, who was casually sipping a fruit juice without a care in the world. "Why did you decide to join the Central Government? Are you mad?"
"Grandma, Grandpa is bullying me," Thirteen shamelessly hugged his grandmother, Lady Callista, and pretended to be scared.
"Arthur, don't raise your voice at Zion," Lady Callista said as she hugged her grandson. "Can't you see that he is scared of you?"
"Him? Scared of me? Nonsense!" Arthur scoffed. "Did you not see him talk to a Majin Prince and Majin Princess as if they are the best of friends? Do you really think someone like him, who fought against the Majin Prince, Arundel the Destroyer, is scared of me? What a joke!"
Lady Callista ignored her husband's words and patted Thirteen's head in order to calm him down.
Michael shook his head before fixing his glasses, while Hans only smiled faintly because he found this scene quite amusing.
Thirteen, who had been dragged back by the Agents of the Leventis Family, all the way from Wayside City, enjoyed his Grandma's pampering.
It had been a while since he had truly let his guard down and simply enjoyed the moment because such luxuries weren't possible in the world of Solterra, where his life was constantly in danger.
A few minutes later, Arthur finally calmed down, and sat facing the boy and his wife.
"Tell me the real reason why you joined the Central Government," Arthur demanded. "Were you afraid that I would cast you out just because you are unable to surpass the Rookie Rank?"
Thirteen raised his head to glance at his grandfather, and blinked in confusion.
"Why would I worry about whether or not you would cast me out?" Thirteen asked back in an innocent tone. "Last time I checked, my father was kicked out of this family some time ago. So, I don't understand how you could cast me out when we're not even in the same family."
Thirteen was very tempted to say that it was Arthur who should be worried that he cast him out because in the future, their Family would become the Main Branch of the Leventis Family, and Arthur's family would become their branch family.
Of course, he didn't say this out in the open because he was certain that the old man would smack his head silly, which was something he didn't want to happen.
The Leventis Family had many enemies, so the moment the Monarch Clans, and the Prestigious Families felt threatened by their sudden rise in power, there would definitely be a confrontation, where their family would be greatly outnumbered.
Arthur understood this, so he reluctantly nodded his head to inform his grandson that he understood.
"While I am forming connections in the Central Government, I want the Leventis Family to focus on expansion and information gathering. In a few years, the Dimensional Gates in the Cygni Continent will open.
"This event will force the Monarch Clans, the Ten Prestigious Families, as well as the Central Government to send their manpower in an attempt to prevent it from getting overrun by Jinns and Majins.
"They know that we can't afford to yield any more ground to our enemies. The Continent of Antares and Rigel have already fallen. If Cygni were to suffer the same fate, it would only be a matter of time before Sirius and Aldebaran followed suit.
"So, let the Jinn Invasion be a smokescreen, so that we can have the time we need to complete our preparations. Once we are ready, I will not stop you from letting everyone know that there is a new Monarch in Town.
"Until then, we will keep a low profile. This is the best course of action that we can take. Don't let your desire for fame and recognition blind you from seeing the bigger picture. One mistake and the Leventis Family will collapse before it can even rise."
Arthur, Callista, Michael, and Hans looked at the ten-year-old, who was currently the hottest topic of discussion in the World of Pangea.
Now that Arthur understood that Zion had joined the Central Government for a reason, and not out of spite towards his family, he was finally able to calm down.
"How long should we lie low?" Arthur asked.
Thirteen smirked as he held his Grandfather's gaze.
"As long as it takes," Thirteen replied without giving a definite time period. "But, I promise you this. Once I'm done with my preparations, there will be nothing in this world that we need to fear."
Thirteen already had a plan in mind, and once this plan was fully executed, there would be no one in Solterra that could threaten him, and his family, ever again.
