BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Dirty tactician
Ethan still remembered the joy on her face wh she saw Elizabeth in distress.
In the Thunderfire Demon Cave, there were two others.
[Your descdant Amelia is in retreat with the help of the demon king, beginning to attempt the creation of real sevth-grade potions!]
[Your descdant Daniel has tered the Thunderfire Demon Cave, becoming Amelia\'s military advisor, responsible for managing her forces in the Demon Subduing Alliance and the Thunderfire Demon Cave during her retreat.]
[He slowly realized the chaos and vastness of the place where his aunt was, discovering that she actually had many forces under her control. This place was simply the best paradise for him to show his prowess. His ambitious ambition expanded again, determined to help his aunt\'s forces!]
[Trait \'Ambitious\' transformed into—\'Dirty tactician\']
[He thought daily of various ways to control people\'s hearts, charisma +0%, popularity -30%]
They were all doing very well.
Especially pleasing to Ethan was that Olivia was getting younger, evolving from a decrepit old lady into a hunched old woman!
After Dawn\'s assassins withdrew from Cloudview County.
She actually appeared in Jones, staying by Jessica\'s side, becoming Jessica\'s housekeeper. Jessica would command Olivia to serve tea and water during the day, but at night, she had to kneel in front of Olivia and apologize frantically.
However, since Olivia arrived in Jones, Jessica\'s days were getting better and better.
Her husband Jack\'s path to becoming the next family head was becoming smoother, and those who mocked Jack would mysteriously disappear. Jack\'s luck was on the rise; he could find top-notch psychic equipmt ev after falling off a cliff, and he could unearth mysterious techniques from a roadside vdor.
No one knew why, but the people of Jones felt that Jack was like a rising star.
That night.
Olivia took an Energy Stone from a maid\'s hand in the darkness.
She took out the Forebearer Cards and knelt down. "Forebearer, your child has discovered the whereabouts of Felix and Elizabeth. They are in the Valley of Healers, hoping to conceive a new child through dual cultivation and secret medicines. Your child will ld a hand."
"But now, your child is ready to let Cloudview County feel the fear that Blackwood brings them."
Ethan nodded slightly in front of the scre.
He knew that all Blackwoods, though seemingly happy wandering outside, were waiting for a momt, a momt for Blackwood to fully seek justice.
No matter what faced Elizabeth, or the damn Azure Cloud Pavilion, or ev the tire Cloudview County!
A gleam flashed in his eyes as he manipulated the Forebearer Cards.
[Initiate Plan B, all units move!]
As his words fell, he connected a call, and Alan\'s voice came from the old phone, "Mr. Ethan, the stuff you wanted has arrived, it cost a lot of Energy Stones, we need to settle the accounts properly!"
...
In the living room, after many days, Ethan meets Alan again.
While sipping on milk tea, Alan stares at the young man in front of him, puzzled. Although he doesn\'t know what\'s changed, he can feel that Mr. Ethan from a few days ago seems differt.
The former Mr. Ethan, although a clever and cautious fox, now carries an added air of maturity and steadiness.
In his eyes, there\'s a hint of the weariness that only comes with age, and ev a touch of the aura of a leader, making Alan treat him with increased respect.
"Mr. Ethan, the price for the various drugs you gave me previously doesn\'t cover what I\'ve brought back for you," Alan casually mtions.
"But that pis hancemt pill you have, it really sells well."
As he speaks, he tosses a Storage Ring to Ethan. "About that Sarmat nuclear missile you mtioned, I really couldn\'t find one. But I got you some new stuff that should be fine for dealing with the average Compett, though that psychic old lady, maybe not. Oh, and there are four C7-type Star Seekers."
Ethan glances at the Storage Ring and sees a ghost head badge inside. He takes it out, puzzled, "What\'s this?"
"Oh, because we\'ve bought contraband from them multiple times, they think my boss behind the sces has pottial, possibly becoming a top-level criminal."
Alan gives a wry smile, "They said they hope you\'ll join them, become a member of the family."
Ethan, feeling somewhat appreciated by a strange group, ignores it and tosses another Storage Ring to Alan. "This time, I\'m only giving you t beast blood fruits. Take these to auction; those rich kids who get a taste will probably be crying out to buy them."
Alan frowns, but Ethan\'s next words cheer him up. "These t are ev higher grade than the ones before, with 00 points of psychic power and a chance to increase Psychic Constitution by point. Needless to say, they\'re valuable."
"Besides, there are 50 doses each of drugs that hance various Five Elemts Psychic Constitutions. Pis hancemt pills, 500 doses."
"And for helping during the Emerging Ability phase to break through Psychic, a 5% chance to remove mixed Psychic Constitution with \'Psychic Cleansing Scatter\', 30 doses!"
Alan suddly leans forward on the table, looking earnestly at Ethan. "Mr. Ethan, from today onwards, I officially join this revolutionary organization. I\'ll do my best to find powerful weapons for you!"
After bidding farewell to Alan, Ethan returned to his room and casually tossed the Storage Ring, th turned his atttion to the scre.
[Blackwood 90 Years]
On this day, the tire Blackwood was in action again, marking the first time the Great Festival of Blackwood was postponed. Under the scrutiny of Cloudview County, the Baili Pigeons of Blackwood could no longer serve as a means of communication, but that didn\'t matter to Ethan, who still had his Cards.
The descdants of Blackwood emerged from swamps, forests, continuous mountains, or the streets of the city. Once naive in front of the Primordial Blood Tree, they followed the signs of the Primordial Blood Tree to their destined places. Over these sev years, they had expericed various challges and no longer needed guidance.
The siege by Cloudview County did not trouble them; instead, it served as a catalyst for their growth. The only downside was...
"No new offspring have be born," Ethan said, supporting his forehead with his hand.
Wh stationed in Blackwood, the childr were safe and joyful. Each year, Ethan\'s biggest concern was that they would go looking for spouses and have childr, to the point where Luna was scared. But now, they simply had no time to deal with romantic relationships, being either in battle or on their way to one.
This also led to another problem. From the Emerging Ability period, the likelihood of having childr decreased, and the stronger they became, the lower the probability.
However, it didn\'t matter.
Ethan trusted the task of propagation to the fifth geration of members.
[Gratitude Village Town · Blackwood]
Today, the Blackwood station, developed over many years by the villagers of Gratitude Village, had become a town. At this momt, in the Blackwood compound, Dnis was playing with a child. Drunk Fool had once said Dnis\'s time was near, and now the old man indeed seemed much older.
The child was Nicholas, whom Dnis had be tasked to take care of. Nearby, a young woman was gtly watching young Nicholas swing.
"Grandpa Dnis, you said my family members are all heroes. Why hav\'t they come back to find me yet?" the adorable child asked with innoct wide eyes.
"They all have things to keep them busy," Dnis replied dismissively, turning away with a long sigh.
It wasn\'t until the people of Blackwood left and constructed the Azure Cloud Pavilion, displaying the gruesome spectacle of the Lopez family\'s heads and bodies, that he truly realized just how deranged Blackwood was.
