"What happened?"
Nux questioned as he and Melia walked into the Clan's Main Hall. There, he saw all his women, Aisha, and the three Great Sages of Destiny.
"Master Nux."
Vindan greeted as soon as he saw Nux.
Seeing that, Nux raised his eyebrow in slight surprise, then, he turned towards Amaya for answers,
"You should hear it from them."
Amaya simply pointed and Vindan, Miliana and Xavien.
Nux turned towards the three Great Sages.
"Master Nux… It is about Destiny…" Vindan spoke.
"What is it?"
"It… Destiny is over…"
"Over?" Nux frowned in confusion.
"We lost 90% of our business. More than half of the members have left the Clan and even after they paid the fees of voiding the Contract, are funds are still not enough to sustain ourselves.
In the next 15-16 years, Destiny would fall apar."
Vindan described the situation.
Nux didn't know what to say. He just stared at Vindan with a bland look on his face.
"You still have enough funds to sustain yourself for the next 15 years and you still dare to say Destiny is over? What the hell are you on about? Are you saying that 15 years are not enough for you to revive your clan?"
Nux couldn't believe it.
And it wasn't his fault either.
From his perspective, 15 years was more than half of his lifetime, Vindan, however, was different. Having lived in Yrniel for more than 16 centuries, he knew how the world worked. 15 Centuries may seem long, however, in truth, it was nothing.
People do not forget.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Destiny's defeat, it damaged their reputation to the point it cannot be restored anymore. If it was just a normal Middle Clan losing against a new Clan, the effects wouldn't have been this bad, however, the problem was, it was a 100 vs 13.
This challenge raised ExceedoGenesis's reputation to ridiculous levels, but it did the same amount of damage to Destiny. Their reputation was pushed down to the lowest possible level.
There was a reason why every clan regarded reputation with so much importance,
Once the reputation of a Clan takes a hit, the Clan is pretty much crippled since no one associates with them, the harder their reputation takes a hit, the more business they lose. And in the case of Destiny, they not only lost their business, but even their clan members left the clan as well.
No business, current members leaving, no new members willing to join the clan,
With all the sources of income sealed, Destiny was chained into a position where no matter what it does, no matter how much time it was given, it wouldn't matter, it was over.
Destiny could never rise up again.
And Vindan, who realized this was broken apart.
The Clan he gave all his life to, seeing it falling in this position with his own eyes was heartbreaking.
"It… it wouldn't work, Master Nux…
Whether it is 15 years or 15 centuries, Destiny cannot be revived again. That is also the reason why we came here." Vindan replied as he gritted his teeth.
"90% of business has been lost, however, this doesn't mean the rest 10% is safe, they will move away soon as well. If we had waited for a week as you ordered us to, barely anything would have been left.
So we came here early, hoping you would take over the Clan and save whatever can be saved."
Hearing Vindan's words, Nux raised his eyebrow in doubt,
"You came here on your own accord because you wanted me to profit as much as I can? Heeh? Now isn't that interesting? No matter what, the reason why you are pushed into this position is me.
Honestly, even if someone killed your entire family right in front of your eyes, you would still hate me more than you would hate him.
Why would you come here then?
Wouldn't you want me to lose as much as I could?"
Nux questioned with a curious look on his face, but then, a smile appeared on his face. He looked into Vindan's eyes and,
"You experienced the pain again, didn't you?"
Vindan's body flinched.
If one looked closely, he would realize that his knees were trembling and his face was slightly paler than before.
Nux's guess was correct.
When Vindan realized that he had lost everything, he was devastated, but at the same time, he was happy as well.
With him becoming Nux's Slave, he was not Destiny's leader anymore, the clan didn't belong to him, it belonged to his Master. If the Clan was losing business, it affected Nux, not him.
He knew the situation would deteriorate the longer it continued and he didn't have even the slightest intention to inform ExceedoGenesis about this, however, the moment this thought came into his mind,
The Slave Seal was triggered.
Vindan then went through another horrifying event.
The pain that continued for 5 whole minutes completely broke him away.
Master Nux…
He knew he had to bow down to that man, and that too, without holding anything against him.
His life now belonged to his Master and there was nothing he could do about it.
Miliana and Xavien realized this truth as well.
Seeing Vindan screaming in agony as he rolled on the floor due to pain, their souls were shaken. Their pride as Great Sages, it was crushed into pieces.
The Butcherer? The Calm Devil? All those titles were meaningless now.
Their life now started from Nux and ended at Nux.
Would this action please their master?
That was the only question they shouldn't be thinking about from now on.
"Hmmm. This is bad. I expected something like this, but things would be this bad, that was out of my expectation." Suddenly, Amaya commented.
"What should we do?" Nux questioned.
"There is nothing we can do now. We will follow Vindan's idea, save whatever we can, from now on, Destiny would cease to exist. ExceedoGenesis would take over all their businesses and clients, and the members left would take the test, if they are qualified, they would join ExceedoGenesis, the rest would be freed."
Amaya then turned towards Vindan and spoke,
"Make the necessary preparations, finish this as soon as possible, I am hoping that some clients would return when they hear this news, let's hope for the best."
"I will get to it right now, Lady Amaya."
Vindan bowed his head.
