Looking at its expressions, Gail felt helpless all of a sudden.
He doesn’t even know what to do to convince the cat any more.
“All right, I will be honest with you. I know you don’t like mingling with cultivators, but you can tolerate me, can’t you?”
The cat nodded without any hesitation.
“So, hear me out. My clan is in deep trouble. More than eighty per cent of us are annihilated. A lot of other organizations ganged up and did this to us.
We are in a perilous stage. We managed to stall the rest of the organizations for a month now, but I don’t know how long we can keep that way.
I need all the help I can get. That is why I am asking you so much.”
The cat visibly frowned. It looked at Gail to see if he is lying.
It then turned to look at the mattress and bolster, the massage pillar and the incense machine. It looked at Gail as if asking all of these are bribes.
“There is no point in lying to you. They are indeed bribes in a way. But not to poach you, it is to make our communication go a bit better.
And you cannot deny that it went good after this. You didn’t drop a hairball on me for days.”
The cat looked at him suspiciously and gestured him to come close to it.
Gail frowned, but he did as he was asked to and it spat a hairball on him before turning around and lying down on the mattress.
Gail caught the hairball in the middle before looking at the cat helplessly.
“Come on, don’t be like that. If you want you can leave after my clan goes back to its normal state.
Or you can stick with me. I am not going to stay in my clan for long. I will be roaming around in the Grey circle and staying around in the divine graveyard.
You can accompany on many journeys. We can fight with many people of our strength. There are many hidden dangers, trials and tribulations waiting there.
How long are you going to stay here and gain rust to your joints?
The only worthy opponent is gone now. I am the only one that could come and visit you. Even now, I have to divide my time with my clan and you.
It is all becoming extremely difficult for me too.”
The cat just turned its head as if it doesn’t care.
Gail sighed and didn’t bother talking to it anymore. He took out the present that Sam prepared and left.
The cat looked at the large metal box in front of it and checked it out.
There is a paw-shaped groove on top of it and as soon as it placed the paw there, the whole box moved rapidly.
It looked like a large rectangular bathtub. The cat looked at it weirdly for a moment and stepped into it.
The machine got activated and a series of brushes and massage rollers came out of the walls while the whole body started vibrating it.
It is also a massager, but much better than the one before and this one comes with some of the massage techniques that Sam learned from the elves.
They are simulating the meridians and the joints in a very precise level that the cat felt like sleeping then and there.
As it got lost in its own pleasure, it looked at the path in which Gail left.
It felt a little guilty for letting him off like that. But when she looked at all the devices and thought that he only gave them to bribe it, it became stubborn again and enjoyed the massage without any guilt.
After a few hours.
Gail arrived at the Gaja clan and met with Sam.
“How did it go?”
“I don’t know. But I came clean. I just gave out all of the information regarding my situation and didn’t bother to hide anything.
I directly asked for its help. I will only know if he agreed or not the next time I visit him.”
“You let the massager right?”
“Of course. What use does that machine have for me? I left it for the cat itself. It might even be enjoying the massage right now as we speak.”
“Alright then. Don’t visit it for a few days. In fact, only go by the end of the month.”
“Why?”
“You need to show that, even though you have a necessity of the cat, the cat also has some use for you. Even in the contract, you are maintaining a relationship with it and it is always two-way street.”
You opened the street already. So, let it meet you halfway.”
“Whatever you say. Everything worked until now. I don’t see a reason to suspect you now. There is no point in doing so.”
“It is great that you think so.”
While Sam and Gail are having a conversation regarding a beast that could help their Gaja clan, someone else is having a secret chat about the whole situation of the Gaja clan somewhere else.
Far away from the Gaja realm, in a stray realm. Divine league headquarters.
Divine league members are having a meeting at the moment.
At the head of the table sat an old man with a white flowing beard. He has his eyes closed and had a big bald head.
The beard is completely in contrast with the dark skin he has. But even with that clear sign of old age, he is looking extremely dashing for some reason.
On either side of the long table sat two different groups of people.
“What is the situation of the Gaja clan?”
The old man asked in a serene voice.
On his right hand sat a young man who also had dark skin and a faint resemblance with the old man. But he didn’t look as charismatic. He spoke after clearing his throat.
“The Gaja clan is actually pretty active and passive at the same time. They destroyed the Bain clan. Gail himself put some of his principles aside and went on a pretty crazy killing spree.
But the rest of the organization didn’t make a move after that. Even now, Gail, Gamin and Yuvana are making the lives of the rest of the organizations miserable.
For some reason, the rest of the organizations are acting passively.
It seems like they don’t want to be the first ones to face the wrath of the Gaja clan. After all, the Bain clan wasn’t able to do anything to the Gaja clan. There is not a single known casualty.”
“So, they are afraid of a rabid dog biting crazily. Understandable. But killing the dog would have been a better option even at cost of some bites.”
“Of course, it would have been. But they are not trusting each other now. The Draconian tribe has gotten forgiveness from the Gaja clan and no one wants to bother with the Star eye sect.
One organization that completely shed all the responsibility and the one that has full responsibility.
Every organization falls between these two, but some are leaning to the first and the others are to the second.”
“In short, there are all kinds and they cannot find someone of the same kind to trust?”
“Yes. That might just be the second reason though. The primary one could be the Gaja clan killing a lot of higher officials at the tournament venue.
Gail, Gamin and Yuvana slew at least two Peak stage Astral Plane Consummate cultivators from all of the organizations. It is not a small loss to cover and they don’t want to lose anymore.”
“The Gaja clan out did itself. They really managed to keep all the organizations in check all the while picking on them. We need to change the situation.
Letting Gaja clan rest like this is the worst thing they could do now.”
“The Gaja clan is not resting….”
The young man went on to explain the construction of new things within the city. Of course, they don’t know any details.
They cannot get them as every person that went in search of clues are dying every day.
“The situation is not looking good. Why didn’t the Divine league do anything in the past month? Just because I was staying down and laying low, you guys have grown soft?”
“We couldn’t find a proper occasion or a situation to deal with the Gaja clan. We are having a hard time gauging their strength.”
“Excuses. We don’t need to find occasions and situations. We need those four children that belong in the care of our gods. Go and use all of your agents with different organizations and make them use all of their resources to create conflict.
Within a week the Gaja clan should be fighting on all the possible fronts. Every organization it has enmity with should be active.
Do you understand that?”
“Yes, Godfather.”
The young man said and the rest of the people who are scarily silent until then also stood up.
“Yes, Godfather.”
They said in unison.
