The talisman that was burned by Sui Weisheng is called "Forget me not," which was given to him by the Grand Elder when this future heir turned 21.

The specialty of this talisman is that as long as is in 10000 km range from the Grand Elder, the latter could teleport to him in an instant to rescue him from the possible life-threatening situation.

After the explosion of the prison tower, Sui Weisheng understood that he wasn't a match for the enemy. Even if he could save himself, he felt like his clan members will perish instead. That's why he didn't hesitate to summon his Granduncle.

As soon as the talisman at Sui Weisheng's hands turned into nothing, another talisman rushed out of Sui Rong's storage card and created a portal. He walked into it and teleported right before his grand-nephew only for him to be struck by the hellfire missile and blasted away together.

Both of them fell on the ground with the old man perfectly managing to shield his grand-nephew with his body.

Sui Weisheng was completely unharmed but the old man was having fire burns all over his body. Despite that, he wasn't conscious and stood on his own feet. The ether energy rushed out to heal his injuries. This is the specialty of seven-circle realm experts. Their ether energy can also heal their injuries.

"Grand Elder!" "Young Lord Weisheng!"

The elders and the other clan members watching from the ground also got blasted away but only had light injuries as they were standing away from the mansion.

Four guards caught up in the explosion and died. An elder who caught the falling Sui Hanying and was about to hand it over to the guards was also blasted away. He was fine but the guards were heavily injured.

Meanwhile, Sui Clan's Patriarch who was hiding in the mansion along with an elder was also hit by the deadly explosion and their bodies were also seen on the ground.

The Elder was alive but is unconscious with all of his body heavily injured. Surprisingly, the fatty patriarch who was only at 4-circle realm survived the explosion and is perfectly fine.

It's all because of the armor he equipped at the last minute. His torso armor was a semi-divine weapon that created a barrier around himself and blocked the incoming attack.

The staff members working in the mansion weren't spared either. Thankfully for Sui Weisheng, his mother and aunt escaped successfully.

Four of the elders who were ordered to erect a barrier didn't get the time to do it and the mansion explosion forced them to return right away.

The remaining two elders rushed towards the Grand Elder while the helicopter started to hover around the place.

As Sui Rong stood up on his feet and angrily stared at the attack helicopter, Mark's voice was once heard from the giant megaphone.

"So, I guess, by now, all of you must have understood the consequences of trying to break the rules I have. That mister over there, never try to ambush me, again. This time, I will erase your whole clan. " Mark was indeed surprised by the effect of the missile.

He felt the missiles given by the system are far powerful than the ones he was acquainted with, in his previous life. But then again, he also realized that he can't push them far. Killing them won't fulfill his quest, and neither can he extort the money. So, let go of his grudge and just reduced the time limit.

An Elder named Sui Chun who was with Sui Hanying hurriedly searched his clothes. He found a scroll.

Abandoning him on the ground, he dashed towards the old man and handed it, "Grand Elder."

But, Sui Weisheng took it and read the letter. A deep frown appeared on his face as he said, "Grand Elder, he mentioned that you ordered Elder Hanying to capture them so that the girl would be my bride. And then, the Elder resorted to threats about making her a prostitute and him, a slave. Lu Zhen, in his opinion, was returning the favor for threatening. For our survival, he demanded two things."

"What are they?" The old man asked him calmly. His sight is still fixed on the hovering helicopter to get ready for the next attack.

Sui Weisheng looked at his grand uncle in surprise. The old man's reaction clearly states that it is true. But, Sui Weisheng is a celibate and this is why he hadn't married until now. This wasn't a secret either.

Then, why did this old man is trying to get him married? Sui Weisheng was a little bit disappointed but he knew that now is not the time to think about such useless things.

He answered, "His first demand is to free all the slaves at our crystal mine and gold mine. If we want to work them, he demanded to elevate their status to the servants with proper wages and proper accommodation."

Sui Rong narrowed his eyes. He felt this demand is nonsense. Slavery is, after all, a normal thing in the Phoenix Empire. More importantly, what did Lu Zhen would gain from freeing those slaves? He wondered.

But, still, maintaining his calmness, he asked, "What is the second demand?"

Almost crushing the letter, Sui Weisheng answered with a look of frustration, "100,000 gold coins. No ether crystals. Only gold."

"100 thousand? Has he gotten mad?" Sui Rong lost his coolness for a moment.

From the helicopter, Mark was observing their expressions. He let out a grin as he saw the old man destroy the scroll in anger, "it looks like they were angry."

He picked up the mic and said, "That old man over there, considering how you survived my missile, I believe you are the Grand Elder that gave the order to capture us. So, here's the deal. Either you pay the compensation or face the wrath. I still have a lot of missiles in my arsenal, you know."

"How dare he threaten us, the mighty Sui Clan?" The Grand Elder clenched his fist in anger. He spits out a mouthful of blood and realized the pain, left by his injuries, once again. Almost thirty percent of his injuries were healed but only half of his either energy was left. So, if he wanted to fight, then, he can't bother about injuries and vice versa.

But, what if he gets injured again? Then, there would be no comeback.

"Grand Elder, give him what he wants." Elder Sui Chun pleaded to him. He was genuinely afraid of what Mark can do.

"We know nothing about this weapon." Sui Weisheng also pitched in. He supported the Elder, "Earlier when I attacked him, my arrow only left a scratch on that thing. I think it's wise to fulfill his demands. A hundred thousand is indeed a large amount but we can recover our losses within a few weeks. Moreover, the Emperor won't sit by and watch when two major clans were attacked by the same person."

In front of greater power, all that confidence that he displayed during the earlier meeting has disappeared. Now, Sui Weisheng wanted to use their connections with the Emperor to punish Mark.

"Father…" A loud scream was then heard from behind them. The fatty patriarch was seen running towards him.

"What a waste of Semi Divine armor." The elders couldn't help curse inwardly. They felt like he should have been dead.

Sui Rong sighed in relief that his only remaining son is still alive. He then glanced at the helicopter. "Fine, you win, Lu Zhen but Sui Clan will have its revenge for sure."

Nearly twenty minutes later;

The helicopter landed on the ground but Mark didn't come out for his safety. Alina was the one who stepped out and received a pouch. After confirming the amount, she spoke, "Just a friendly reminder since you made my master, rich. I hope you won't go back on your words for you took an oath with Heavens as the witness. Not only do you lose your ether, but a curse will also befall your whole clan if you break the oath in the future.

Although your oath only covered those two mines, it's really better if the Sui Clan abolish slavery altogether. This way neither you nor your future generations will be tempted."

The helicopter took off from the Sui Clan and flew towards the wilderness, leaving behind an enraged old man.

"Weisheng,"

"Yes, Grand Elder?"

"Contact Mt. Hua sect for me. I guess only your master can help us out, now."

"Yes." Sui Weisheng nodded.

"And also, I think it's time to bring some changes in our clan." Sui Rong announced another astonishing thing. "Get ready to take the reins."

Meanwhile, inside the helicopter, Mark was looking at the notifications.

*Ding! You successfully completed Emergency Quest. A 2-free-stat point card has been sent to the inventory.

"Open Inventory."

Mark clicked on the card from the inventory. It was rainbow in color with a number 2 written on it.

The character screen opened before him with + symbols beside the stats.
