Chapter 108: Counter Scheme
"I guess it was real!"
Upon hearing his statement, Karen again asked," Are you sure?"
"Yes Uncle, Sam had told me that this celebration was organized with the permission of grandfather. Moreover, I had also told my mother and father about the party. Even Sam personally came to pick me, so it is possible that the celebration was in their plan. This way, he would tell a genuine story after my death and no one will suspect him and Mayank group."
Karen nodded his head and understood Kritos' situation.
"Do you know anyone who would be at the celebration party except Sam?"
Kritos shook his head and said," We have to find them. Besides, it may be possible that they are all part of the Scheme."
Karen listened to his words and thought for a bit.
Karen knew the personality of young Sam, he is a cautious boy. Without a full-proof plan, Sam would never do anything.
According to Kritos, he was faint in the passage for almost two hours.
It is impossible that Sam didn't check the situation which had a 100% chance of completion after two hours of waiting.
Thus, it is possible that he knew the current situation, and told everything to his grandfather in fear of Clan's head fury.
'No! Even his grandfather wouldn't be able to save him if father learned that Sam was involved in their scheme and tried to kill Kritos.' Karen thought to himself.
Karen shook his head and thought about other possibilities.
'Maybe he told a false story to the Vishwa Clan and his grandfather, but there is no commotion outside.'
Suddenly he understood something.
"Kritos, after those bats killed Mayank group. Have they destroyed their dead bodies?" Karen seriously asked.
"Uncle, as I said previously, they used some unique ability to consume their dead bodies and blood, even if someone saw the battle spot, they would not find a single drop of blood lying there," Kritos retorted.
'As I guessed, they deliberately help Kritos.' Karen thought to himself.
"Kritos, it seems they also killed Sam!" Karen asserted after a few seconds of thinking.
"What?"
A shocked expression emerged on Kritos's face, he had not thought about this.
Firstly, Sam was not present in the battle scene.
Secondly, there is no commotion in the city.
'Was they intentionally helping me from the start? But, I have never met them in my life.' Kritos thought about those two bats.
Watching Kritos's astonishing complex, Karen continued," Those bats must be experts and they must be watching you for quite some time, although I don't know the exact reason for this."
As Kritos listens to his uncle's statement, he recalls these bats were following him for almost two hours before the start of the battle with Mayank group.
"Uncle, then what do we do?" Kritos anxiously asked.
In response, Karen simply stood in his spot and intentionally looked at Kritos.
"Forget it! Forget everything you saw. Just think you escaped from a Catastrophe."
"Catastrophe?"
"Yeah, Didn't you escape from it after it killed Sam?" Karen smiled.
"..."
Kritos stunned for a second before he understood his uncle's plan.
"We just need to do some light makeup and fabric your injuries," Karen mumbled.
Karen could have told the truth to everyone. However, could anyone believe in Kritos's word, if he said two bats killed everyone and saved him?
Besides, it would create many disputes with the Vishwa clan, when they didn't even find the dead body of their young miss.
It may arise a huge problem for the Dwivedi Clan.
There is also some possibility that the first elder betrayed the clan after he found his grandson's death was related to Kritos.
It is known by everyone that the first elder greatly adores his only grandson to the core.
Hence, Karen wasn't willing to tell the truth to everybody.
In contrast, he made a plan which would solve all the problems and would also justify the death of everyone.
The story follows from here. A core realm demon appears in Rewa city and it was hiding in the same passage.
Unbeknownst to Sam and Kritos, they take the same passage to quickly arrive at the restaurant for their celebration party.
However, midway through the passage, they were attacked by the Core Realm Demon who killed Sam with a single attack.
Seeing the huge demon, Kritos decided to quickly escape from the passage. Although he didn't have the strength to back up. Kritos used his mysterious invisible ability to deceive the Core Realm demon and escaped from there.
After escaping from there, he reaches Clan hall to tell the incident to his grandfather. However, the clan head of the Dwivedi Clan wasn't present in the clan hall. He was in the meeting with the other clan heads in the Vishwa Clan.
So, Kritos concluded to tell this incident to his uncle.
About the death of Mayank and Manvi, Kritos had nothing to do and didn't know anything about it.
People would think they are killed by the same Core Realm Demon.
Nevertheless, this plan would only work if Sam Dwivedi is dead.
Karen took a deep breath and decided to call a guard.
After the guard came, he instructed him to strike the city emergency bell.
The city emergency bell would only ring when there is a huge disaster that could affect the entire city.
Upon hearing its sound, people will stop their work and hide in their houses.
On the other hand, all the guards will take the front, and three clans would jointly exterminate the source of the crisis.
Other than Clan heads, only high authorities people in the Rewa city have the authorization to rang the bell without the permission of their respective Clan heads.
Karen was one of these people. He was currently the strategist of the Dwivedi Clan.
Nonetheless, if the danger wasn't at the level of the city's destruction. His high authority would be taken away from him and additionally, the person has to single-handedly compensate for the city loss.
After he gave instructions to them, the guard soon ran to the city tower which is situated in the middle of Rewa city.
As these three clans were close to the center of the city. It doesn't take much duration to reach the tower.
Tin! Tin!! Tin!!! Tin!!!
Ding-Dong!!! Ding-Ding!!!!
The sound of the tower bell resonated across Rewa city. It rings three times, telling them it is a huge crisis.
"What happened? Didn't it sound like the tower bell, which could only ring when there is a huge crisis for Rewa city?"
"Young boy, why are asking such a dumb question? Just run!" An old man replied who was walking with a wooden stick.
With his speed, it would take almost 20 minutes to reach his home.
"Old man, with your speed, would you even reach home safely in this commotion. Who knows maybe some step on you," The young man giggled.
"Boy, I am maybe a slow walker, but I never walk back."
After saying this, he continued to walk.
A stunned expression was present on the young boy's face.
"Attitude… atti--tude..."
As he silently murmurs to himself. Suddenly, someone steps on him.
"Fu*k you!"
***
Clan Hall, Vishwa Clan
"Something big happened, the bell rang three times."
"Three times! The crisis approx the level of city destruction. We have to quickly leave for our clan."
All of them nodded their heads in agreement.
No one wanted to waste a single second away from their clan in this period.
Soon, all of them hastily leave the Vishwa clan.
The three-time ringing of the Tower bell was enough to make them nervous.
Lakhan and Sanju used their movement speed skill to instantly reach the Dwivedi Clan. Still, it takes them almost 2 minutes.
As a peak foundation realm cultivator, their speed was great.
In Sincromas world, the only cultivator above Core Realm could fly in the air.
Hence, in Rewa city, there isn't a single cultivator who could freely fly in the air.
Moreover, only a few experts in the entire Star Kingdom could fly in the air. The current King himself was a middle-stage Chakra Realm cultivator.
For ordinary people, the people who could fly in the air are immortals.
1000 years of LifeSpan of Chakra Realm cultivator was enough to deceive the eyes of the mortal who could only live up to 100 years.
…
After reaching the Dwivedi Clan, Lakhan quickly summoned the elders of the clan.
On the way, he learned that his clan was behind the Tower bell ringing. After some talk, he found out, his son, Karen, ordered them to ring the bell.
As Lakhan arrived at Clan hall, Karen shortly walked inside the clan hall.
He saw ten elders sitting in their position. The first elder on the topmost position just below the Clan head.
All of them were anxiously waiting for Karen.
