Failed Attempt

As if answering his inquiry, A cold creepy voice sounded out in his ears. Making him kind of startled at first moment as he didn't expect that such an unusual voice could ever exist.

[ This is the sole alternative I can utilize, you can choose from both of the methods and I'll use what the host prefers better.]

He quickly got his thoughts on track as he marveled over this thing called Fortune System, " I'll really have to get used to these heaven-defying methods that no one ever heard of before."

Abaddon stroked his beard as he pondered over which one he will choose, but he quickly chose to send all messages via voice, as screens can really be annoying to deal with and extremely deadly in all life-and-death situations.

[ Adapting to the host's wishes and switching to only using voice messages.]

A download bar with a percentage that showed its adapting process emerged in front of him as a black screen.

[ Progress 18%.]

[ Progress 47%.]

[ 78%.]

[ 100%.]

Right after the bar hit 100%, no black screen with red writing's popped up and the same cold robotic voice of the system sounded in his ears, making him quite satisfied by this useful and life-saving change.

[ Fortune Systems will no longer use screens and will only communicate with the host through voice messages.]

His voice was pleased as he gave it a little praise for obeying his orders, mistaking the system for one of the people under his command who unwillingly obeyed his every word cause of fear.

" Nicely done."

Back to the present. Fang clan main pavilion. Inside its meeting hall.

Mia's face was shocked beyond belief as the pressure from the sudden outburst of Abaddon's aura made her suffocate without any ability to breathe, her whole body was shuddering as she mumbled in a low voice.

" You are not my grandfather. What did you do to my grandpa and who are you!"

Everyone could clearly hear her mutterings despite the shaking low voice as their cultivation greatly enhanced their five senses thanks to spiritual energy.

" What do you mean Mia." Bam looked at the girl that was sitting on the ground, obviously frightened after being exposed to his aura.

" His... His expression and the words he just said, m... My grandpa never acts like this!" She was barely able to utter her words after Abaddon retracted his aura.

Bam subconsciously shifted his gaze to Abaddon, for some reason, he felt extremely terrified after he scanned out the old man in front of him.

He felt his vision turning blur as a sudden thought flashed past his mind. Soon, sweat drenched his back, and a cold chill run down his spine as he knew that things weren't simple.

A little earlier when everything happened, he was indeed scared but it was just that, cause he was also joyful as he believed that Mia's grandfather was shocking everyone and showing his deep cultivation to impress his father and let the marriage proceed.

However, everything changed after he heard Mia, at the end of the day, no one will know someone more than an offspring of said individual.

His father was quick-witted after the pressure was gone and he directly leaned forward and knelt, not daring to look Abaddon in the eyes as he yelled, " I failed to see your greatness and deep cultivation, I beg Mr Chester to forgive my lack of vision and calm down! "

' Bad news, this is really bad. he is at the very peak of the 9th layer of the Godly realm. He could easily slaughter everyone in here and no one would dare to stop nor question him. I really messed up this time.' His heart trembled after he saw the old man's cultivation realm.

Abaddon mused secretly as he witnessed this scene, some of his pride and arrogance started leaking out as he wanted to have some fun and remember even a little bit of the good old days.

He pointed at Ben as he questioned the kneeling Neon, his face adorning an evil smirk," Your son Ben, would you refuse if I tell you that I'll only forgive your behavior in the past days if you give me his head? "

crack!

A little behind Neon's right shoulder, Ben was gnashing his teeth in fury after he heard this old man's words, his fists clenching tightly, barely holding himself down from attacking.

" Kill me? You are really bold saying these words after displaying your cultivation huh! Why don't you come yourself and take my head if you want to! " He roared at Abaddon as his gaze was stabbing countless swords burning with murderous intent.

Neon's body shook slightly after he heard Chester's question and Ben's words, yet he didn't have any resort except the one he thought of as he tried to mend the situation.

In his mind, making this old man wait, and giving him a wrecked room didn't warrant a death sentence for one of his sons, at most he will heavily compensate him and apologize for everything he have done.

And that's cause his brain was too narrow and he lacked great imagination as to even think that Abaddon was only doing this for pleasure, and all of them will perish regardless as he really needs to kill Ben and get the luxurious rewards.

" Shut your mouth Ben, pardon my son's disrespectful and rush manners. About your request, you don't have to go that far Mr Chester, I can heavily compensate you with several resources of your preference." His voice was low as he tried the only method he could think of.

Abaddon was far above Neon in cultivation base, offending him would be tantamount to instant death, that's why he couldn't say anything and only knelt and tried to calm the old man down.

He wasn't actually paying attention to Neon's words as his concentration was all on the numbers that were above Ben's head that plainly displayed the number 500.

He couldn't think of anything else of what these numbers could be except for the fortune value points that the system tasked him to plunder from Ben.

Yet, he was inwardly confused as he thought that he will get more destiny points and even raise his fortune value by making Ben furious right now but unable to act again cause of his father.

Since last time, it was basically the same scenario with Bam, and Ben actually lost some of his fortune value. His mind started running different simulations as he tried to think of several ideas on how to drain his fortune value.

Sadly, Abaddon wasn't someone from earth and doesn't know the typical scenarios of such heaven-defying people, hence his only choice was to use brute force as he couldn't think of anything else without being knowledgeable about them.
