GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

553 Exchanging Blows Or Pummeling Her.



The other security elder refused to agree with Stein's evaluation that Soverick was exchanging blows with his mother. He turned to Elder Stein and asked, "What do you mean exchange blows? Soverick was pummeling her."

"Shhhh." Elder Stein quickly shut him up. Then he whispered to his partner, "I was trying to be polite."

Except he wasn't really whispering. His voice is always loud so whispering is at the normal level of loudness. Everyone can hear what he said very clearly.

Then he turned to Mihila who seems to be furious about something. He said to her, "It wasn't that bad. You can be very proud of the son you have birthed."

His partner totally agreed with him this time. "Yes, he is so much better than my son. My useless son was the one that made me delay the life evaluation of your kids."

That made Mihila remember him. "Yes, I remember you, Haden Kroft. It seems you were successful with your breakthrough. You have changed. How is your son? I hope he is not giving you more trouble."

Haden Kroft smiled. "He died somewhere out in the plane."

Kroft Junior is one of the casualties of Hadrick's paranoia and influence of the existence of Soverick in the plane. He would still be alive if Soverick was never born to Mihila and Ghoto. Unfortunately for him, Kroft Junior had a problem with the fact that Ghoto is permitted by the family to have kids while he can't. So he tried to sabotage their life survey through his rich and well-to-do father. Kroft Junior became a grand god only to be sacrificed to create Celestials.

"I'm sorry about that."

Mihila apologized for the death of his son. The death of a son must have been painful. Even she will feel a little bad if Soverick dies. She will be mostly indifferent to his death but she will feel a pang.

Haden Kroft shook his head. "It's no problem, really. At least, he won't be giving me any more trouble."

He wasn't emotionally attached to his son. He only had him for the opportunity to see the path to becoming a titan of law. Now that he has succeeded, he has no reason whatsoever to care about his son. He considers it a relief and the removal of a burden that his son died.

Elder Stein readily agreed. "That boy was a lot of trouble for you. His death can be considered good riddance of a source of trouble. At least, now you don't have to be paying people off every now and then for his offenses."

Mihila's frown returned. "Yes. And they won't be hitting you now that they think they are all grown up." She said as he stared at Soverick.

The two elders coughed awkwardly. They have nothing to say to that. Actually, they have a lot to say but none of what they want to say is appropriate to say. So they coughed to cover their awkwardness. They felt especially guilty because they allowed the fight to take place and enjoyed watching it.

They are from the security department of the family. They are supposed to stop all acts of violence in the city. Their stern policies have become lax because of the availability of Origin energy in the plane. Now they don't need to preserve Origin energy by discouraging fights. They still stop fights to protect lives and properties.

They have been aware of the trouble that started his entire thing. They knew when Ghaster came to start a fight. They held back then because of Hadrick but they allowed the rest to happen because they wanted to see it. They could have interfered earlier when Soverick and Mihila were fighting but they didn't.

No one knows the power level of Soverick Ghastorix and everyone has been wondering what boost the title of the child of the plane really grants him. It is a mystery that a lot of people are interested in. The mystery continued unsolved as Soverick kept to himself without interacting with others. So they were very surprised to see that he is already a king of law and he can beat a titan of law. They even recorded the fight and only came to interfere when they deemed it over.

Soverick grumbled to himself. 'So much for a test subject.'

He observed the situation and decided that trying to get Mihila now will be too troublesome so he gave up. He can't get her unless he is willing to face these two new titans of law. The problem isn't winning. It is the effect of fighting the three titans of law of the family and using them for his experiments. The family won't take well to it since the new titans of law are elders of the family. So he decided he will get volunteers for his project by using the good old-fashioned way. By kidnapping them from the plane.

He asked the elders, "So what next?"

Elder Stein answered, "You're supposed to pay for the damages that you have caused and perform other bureaucracy nonsense. The family is willing to waive all of the consequences of this little fight if you give the family the permission to sell copies of your fight to the public. It will bring more boosts to the external city and revenue to the family."

Soverick is a celebrity. And not some C-Grade or B-Grade celebrity. He isn't even A-Grage. He is some S-Grade shit with serious popularity. He is the fucking child of the plane. It's a title that very few even knew existed. He has billions of fans and haters. He is the target of admiration and assassinations. He is a real-life hero of the plane. His popularity is just beneath those of the sages and will probably remain so even if he dies in his attempt to become a titan of law. So a video of his fight will be highly sought after.

Soverick replied, "Okay."
