Be careful

*A few hours later*

I sat at a desk staring at a computer screen. This screen showed a picture of a group of buildings that looks like a sect from a cultivation novel. This was where the branch family resided. Actually the branch family was more like a branch of a branch family. After all there is no way an actual branch family would be that weak.

Elana had her first kill earlier and the look on her face while she did it was pure rage. I have never seen her like that before but I can understand. When someone takes away something you treasure how do you react? She is still in a training room hacking away at a dummy to let loose on her anger.

I had Nathaniel kill the bodyguard so he could experience killing as well. He did struggle a bit to do it but did it in the end. He is still recovering from the fact that he took a life and I'm not surprised.

I turned my focus back to the screen and I was wondering how I would go about this. The branch family itself consisted of only 132 members. It was a small family however the only ones that were a concern were the guys at the top of the chain. The family had one patriarch and 7 elders who were the leaders of the whole thing. I already knew the patriarch was a shinsu user

However it was rumored that the elders were formidable swordsmen and it may be troublesome to take on multiple of them at once. I plan to bring Elana and Nathaniel along again as now that they have killed they can get some actual fighting experience as well. The only problem is that how do I go about attacking the place with the least risk.

Do we barge in through the front gates?

Do I pull a uno reverse card and hire mercenaries to attack alongside us?

Should we sneak in and kill the elders and patriarch?

The possibilities are endless!

My phone started to ring on my desk. I picked it up and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"What did you do to my son!?" An angry voice yelled from the other end.

"Wow, that was fast. I didn't think you would call until tomorrow patriarch. So how does it feel to lose family? Does it hurt? Do you hate it? This will be a good lesson for you in the future." I replied with a smile on my face.

"You killed my son? How dare you! You do know we won't let this go right? Why did you irritate us for no reason?" He yelled back.

"No reason? I think I have plenty of reason to get rid of a stupid branch family. My first reason being revenge." I span my chair. My chair is one of those chair with wheels on the bottom. I just can't help but like to spin in circles. Don't act like no one who has sat in one of these hasn't done it.

"Revenge? What did we do to you? We have not done anything to you." He said confused.

"Perhaps I should jog your memory a bit. Think back a couple years ago to a village in the middle of no where."

The Patriarch was silent for a few moments before responding.

"So there were survivors."

"Yes there were, and don't worry about us. We'll be coming to you so make sure you're ready for guests." I said in a happy tone then I hung up on him. I decided a full frontal assault it was. It would be more fun anyway. While the three of us are not invincible I am pretty sure if I hire a mercenary team to fight with us we should be good.

Right now the only problem was the patriarch of the family. He was a shinsu user and I fought shinsu users before but it was only in 1v1s and the key to winning was to rush them and not let them do anything. However if he waits behind his subordinates and has enough time then we are most likely finished.

The only good thing is that since this is the outer tower the only real thing shinsu users are capable of is shooting a beam.

As I was thinking Sothis appeared in front of me.

"We are finally going to get revenge soon." I said while spinning in the chair. How could I not? It may seem childish but I can't help it.

She sighed at my behavior.

"So childish, even though you grew up you are still but a child."

I smiled. "What's the point of life if you don't mess around and enjoy it?"

A few moments of silence passed before Sothis spoke up.

"I know you want revenge but don't go too far ok? If you are in danger don't put revenge above your own life."

"Of course! I'm not that desperate for revenge. I hate them but if I have to die to get revenge then I'm not doing it. I still have common sense." I rolled my eyes.

"Just be careful. Don't act like the last time you went up against someone who used shinsu."

Oh yeah, I remember that. For some reason I had thought that the only thing shinsu users could do right now was shoot beams which most of them do. However the last time I fought in the arena was against a swordsman who used shinsu. However instead he used it for body strengthening. It took me by surprise and I barely won that fight. After that I decided to expect anything from people even if I'm still in the outer tower.

"Don't worry, I am not stupid enough to make the same mistake twice. I won't underestimate them." I said with confidence.

"Yet your original plan of attack was to just charge into the base and kill everything? Honestly, are you a human or beast because you look human but your intelligence says otherwise." She sighed.

"Hey! That's not nice Sothis."

She snorted "The world is not a nice place."
