A deal with Shen Xiu

Nearly dozens of Inscription Scrolls were released from Alan's Spatial Ring. Alan controlled all of them using his Soul Force and activated them at the same time.

These Inscription Scrolls formed a thick barrier in that room and prevented any Soul Force from leaking out.

"It was me who injured you earlier, Aunt," Alan revealed with a grin. He even released his true cultivation.

Shen Xiu was extremely started as she felt a strong suppressive force. This was similar to the feeling she had when she stood next to Shen Hong! Did this mean Alan's aura had already reached the Black Gold Rank?!

It had barely been a month since Alan's Soul Force was publicly tested, and he was merely a White Rank Fighter at that time. But now, his cultivation had already reached the Black Gold Rank!

'What a monster?!'

It was only after all these thoughts did Shen Xiu realize what Alan had spoken just now. He was the one behind her injury!

Shen Xiu didn't understand why Alan would come here and admit it so simply.

"You seem puzzled. Let me explain," Alan spoke with a devilish smile. Honestly, Shen Xiu loved how that smile seemed to suit him so much.

"I revealed this to you only for one reason. I want to control the Sacred Family's resources through you," Alan spoke.

"Do you understand what you are asking of me? What if I go to tell my brother about this?" Shen Xiu threatened Alan. She felt that since Alan wasn't directly taking control of the Sacred Family, he must fear something. And Shen Xiu soon concluded that it was most likely Shen Hong.

Thus, she dared to threaten Alan like that.

Alan responded to her threat as his smile widened, "Aunt. I was just a 1 Star Silver Rank Fighter when I injured you. And right now, I am a 1 Star Black Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist. Do you think I am scared of Shen Hong?"

Alan also revealed a trace of the Divine Winged White Tiger's form. The pure aura of this Demon Spirit startled Shen Xiu as she felt that Alan's aura far surpassed Shen Hong.

This indicated that Alan's Demon Spirit was much stronger than her brother's!

Moreover, Alan just revealed that he was a Silver Ranked Fighter when he injured Shen Xiu. However, that incident occurred only a few days ago. Just how did Alan elevate his cultivation from Silver Rank to the Black Gold Rank in just a few days?!

No…How did he cultivate to the Silver Rank in a few days?! Shen Xiu was utterly puzzled.

"Submit to me, Aunt. Because the only alternative to that is death," Alan calmly spoke.

"…What will I get from this?" Shen Xiu slowly asked.

Alan smiled and spoke, "The entire Sacred Family, including the cultivation resources and treasures. My ambition has never been to control or manage the Sacred Family. I can gift it to you if you remain loyal. Moreover, I assure you that you will reach the Black Gold Rank with ease. Naturally, you must obey all my orders without any exception."

Shen Xiu fell into deep thought. She was considering his proposal.

Her brother was the Patriarch of the Sacred Family, but she never managed to acquire the respect she deserved within this family because she was a woman! Shen Hong hoarded all those resources and utilized them to elevate the strength of his subordinates or heirs.

Well, this was only natural. This was what all the families in Glory City did. However, Alan was offering something different!

Alan was giving her a chance to take the reins for herself!

Shen Xiu soon spoke, "I will be at your command, nephew."

"You won't regret this decision."

The suppressive aura around her instantly disappeared. Alan recalled his Soul Force, including those Inscription Scrolls.

Shen Xiu finally took a long breath of relief. She was finally out of danger.

"Now, you are to retire from teaching in the Holy Orchid Academy. Send a letter of retirement tomorrow," Alan ordered her.

Shen Xiu was puzzled upon receiving that order and spoke, "…I will do that. But may I ask why?"

Alan rolled his eyes, "I want you to focus on some tasks for me. How will you do that while teaching at the Holy Orchid Academy?"

"I understand," Shen Xiu nodded while accepting the reason.

"Good. Your task is to frame Yang Xin for embezzling funds from the Alchemy Association. In fact, it will be better if you can make her commit a crime. Use your personal wealth and resources if you have to. Just make sure that the scenario is extremely realistic!" Alan spoke.

"…Understood. But why are you targeting her? If I recall, she is just a director in the Alchemy Association," Shen Xiu asked.

"You don't need to know," Alan coldly responded.

Shen Xiu nodded in response and didn't ask about it again.

"How far am I allowed to go?" She asked the next question.

"Don't harm her personally. Using force against such individuals is a fool's way. Deal with the situation a bit more smartly," Alan spoke seriously.

Shen Xiu understood Alan's aim, and a wicked grin appeared on her face, "Rest assured, nephew. I will deal with this woman the same way the Sacred Family dealt with the Winged Dragon Family."

Alan nodded in affirmation. The Sacred Family dealt with the Winged Dragon Family very intelligently. They used numerous schemes to buy 80% of the Winged Dragon Family's property without letting them realize it. By the time the Winged Dragon Family realized, it was too late.

They had to submit to the Sacred Family! Only their core techniques and a mansion remained. With no direct male descendants and only their core techniques remaining, they couldn't turn the tables on the Sacred Family anymore.

"Give me daily updates regarding this incident. I won't tolerate any blunders. You will be punished severely for any mistakes on your part!" Alan threatened Shen Xiu before leaving her room.

Shen Xiu nodded. She was flabbergasted to see her nephew change so dramatically in just a few days.
