An Offer From A Viper:

None of their members who is not stronger enough can even go down to the first heaven, the first heaven is nothing more than a dead zone to any and everyone who claim to be from the Litiria clan or it associate, because only death await any of them there, they now have to disguise themselves to go out of their own world, it's just an irony, two year or so ago the Litiria clan and it partners were the one after the higher human and now that they are retaliating, they realize they could not handle them.

Patriarch James sigh one more time as his visibly age, his well combed hair is now totally dishevel like a mortal that skip multiple night rest, he was physically and mentally exhausted, he is currently out of option, his father demand the head of the goddess of life, the higher human are demanding of their princess and the goddess of life herself as disappear of the face of existence, who will he tell his own that will believe him that he truly knows nothing about the girl disappearance.

He has even start praying to his lucky star to just make the girl appear, he swear l will simply watch himself clean of anything that associate will her, no one inform him leading was this hard, and the worse the situation becomes, the harder and riskier his decisions becomes.

He was truly tired of it all, he fought for this position because he was greedy of the resources that come with it, but now he can't even enjoy the smallest of that resource. The irony of it is just so laughable. 

His daughter that should have been his joy and pride and could have help him in this dilemma, wants nothing to do with him because her mother was part of the large number of people he kill to get to this position, while he thought time will mend the bridge between them, it been over five thousand years now, and he can still feel it every time he lay eyes on his daughter that she will come for his head when she becomes strong enough to do it, which does not seems like a far dream from now with the way all these situation has been keeping him from having time to cultivate.

His two younger brothers are also another vultures, they are just waiting on the line for him to failure so they can do to him what he did to their older brother who was suppose to be the true patriarch of Litiria clan, but even now James his sure that even his younger brothers are totally out of plan to get out of this situation even if they succeed him, if they have any plan at all, they will have rush in already to save the day, and be named the hero.

"hello, big brother, you seems troubled?" a man standing over six nine in height said, his black hair that reach down to his shoulder blade wave like a ripple on the surface of a water, his eye as narrow as a viper, eyeing its unsuspecting prey, a short pointed nose with a small mouth, his would have been considered extremely handsome if he let his smile reach is eyes, but no, he is a schemer and a viper true and true.

"Speak of the devil and it appears" Patriarch James says under is breathe as he turn and look over his shoulder from the table he bend over as he heard the voice of who was suppose to be the last acknowledge child of their father, all he could do is to sigh again at his own misfortunate.

"Little brother Rhemi, what brings you here" Patriarch James answered as he tries to sound as polite and as welcoming as possible. He even tries to smile but all effort was futile, he walk over to his chair that was not that far from the table.

"well, nothing much big brother, l just want to offer you my helping hand in this trying time for our clan" the man called Rhemi answered back as he wave his hand to signal the two leader of the six corps to give them privacy and he proceed to take out a chair from his spatial ring to sit, at the front of James and smile towards him.

Patriarch James know in an instant that no good helping hand can come from this viper without a neck breaking price tag to it, and for him to come here to offer a "helping hand" he was sure his death maybe the payment this vile creature in human clothing will demand for, but at the end of the day he really was at the end of his rope, any 'helping hand' right now will be appreciated, whether good one or bad, he care no more.
