Chapter 222 - Dragon Dance
"No way, why are the two clan leaders here?"
"There\'s no way that the kid was telling the truth, right?"
"Absolutely no way that some random kid like him managed to get both clan leaders to join him. They\'re probably just there to eliminate him. After all, what kind of kid would have so much power that he would command the respect of these two figure head?"
The crowd of people, which was composed nearly entirely of WD and FFF clan members, began to speak amongst themselves as they couldn\'t believe what was in front of their eyes.
There stood Yuki who was walking down the stairs behind Batol and Arthur who walked towards the crowd with a face filled with shame.
"Come on clan leaders, why do you look so bummed out? I mean you\'re both here so if you team up, you should be able to take him on right?"
"No you moron, they\'re probably playing a prank on us and they\'ve already taken care of him. They\'re probably just testing how loyal we truly are to them."
The people in the crowd continued to speak with disbelief and pure ignorance in their voice as they didn\'t want to assume the worst.
Unfortunately for them, Batol not Arthur spoke a single word as they stood there to look their troops in their eyes with nothing but shame as they didn\'t have a single way to apologize to the people who were there.
"I-I\'m sorry," both Batol and Arthur said as they bowed down to their clan members which they had let down.
Of course Arthur\'s apology was fake and all he hoped to gain was the trust of his people so that they would think that he was doing the best he possibly could and was still losing to Yuki which was far from the truth as Arthur never cared for the result as long as he got to keep his ability to which he relied on so that he could level up more frequently.
"NO WAY!\'\' Everyone in the room yelled out in pure shock as they didn\'t know what they were going to do with themselves. A literal child was about to take control of two of the most powerful clans in the world. The leaders weren\'t even giving it up on their own volition but were instead basically forced due to the power which Yuki had at his disposal.
"S-Sorry sir. We didn\'t mean to offend you earlier. We had no intention of getting in your way. We just had no idea of knowing that you would actually be the new clan leader, not that it justifies us being so ignorant," one of the people in the crowd began to speak elegantly as they wanted to save themselves from the fate which awaited their comrades.
...
"Ya, I promise that I didn\'t mean any of the words I said to you beforehand. It was just a misunderstanding and I can\'t guarantee with my own life and soul that something as horrible as that will never happen under my watch from this day forward. I hope we can just move on from this predicament and start off fresh on your new clan leader," said another one of them with a nervous laugh which indicated how badly the person who spoke wanted to leave his class and run away for his life.
"Oh no but you see, life just isn\'t that simple. When you make a mistake I need to punish you and set an example. As such, I\'ll just have to kill you so I can show all of the people here what happens to those dare to
doubt me,"said Yuki in a sinister voice as he began to walk towards the second man who tried to apologize, who was so scared out of his mind that instead of running away, he just stood in place as if his feet had been frozen.
After walking slowly and menacingly for a while, Yuki finally made it in front of the 2nd man who tried to apologize before placing his hand on the man\'s shoulder.
"I\'m just kidding. Lighten up a bit, will ya? I\'m not here to become a killer. I\'m just here to introduce myself to you guys since now I own both of the clans which either of you have joined. Since they\'re suddenly merged now, there are going to be a few changes which some of you will of course not enjoy," Yuki began to speak like a real mature clan leader as he forgot about his nervousness and began his speech
"My apologies for the late introduction but anyway, I shall run a quick intro which will hopefully get all of you accustomed to what is to be expected of you. First of all, I\'m Yuki, your new clan leader. Since I\'m the leader of not only WD but also FFF, I feel like it would be only necessary that there is a new hybrid name created to make everyone feel included?" Yuki asked to which everyone stayed silent as they still had trouble processing the fact that their world was going to get turned upside down just because of some random kid.
"Since no one seems to have any ideas, we can just go for the obvious answer. \'FFF\'s WD\'. If anyone has any objections or anything to ask or say please do it now," Yuki requested yk which everyone still stayed silent as they needed another few more minutes to completely process all the new information that was getting sent to their brains.
"I guess I can pick whatever I want then. Too bad for you guys, since you guys didn\'t bother to put in any work into the name of our clan, I decided to do it on my own," said Yuki as he looked at all the people who just stared at all the wide eyed people which looked like they were just little kids which wanted to get attention on themselves. Or more specifically, they looked like children which were hopelessly lost within a large grocery store.
"So what exactly are we supposed to do now? Which clan building are we supposed to live in? Which kingdom should we live in?" a person from the crowd began to ask Yuki reasonable questions after realizing what Yuki was planning to do. After all, with getting a whole clan to merge with WD, it would cause a lot of problems (space wise) as adding an extra couple dozen people would cost a lot of space for the clan, especially one such as WD where there is barely any rent available.
The reason for the shortage of places to live in the kingdom which Yuki along with Scar and Avila resides in was because of one very concept which was commonly referred to as superstition.
Due to the mysterious nature of the world which Yuki had decided to create, many people constantly lived in fear of what would happen to them if a monster were to suddenly spawn while they were sleeping.
Most people dismissed the thought so that they could sleep better since they simply would forget about the negative thoughts due to them not being able to do anything about them however those who were willing to make a change in their lives and more specifically could afford to do so, did. They would simply move to the kingdom which clans such as WD or like WD were so that they could seek protection from monsters with their help. After all, if anyone could take those monsters on such as the goblins from \'goblin king\'s parade\' could only be taken down by the likes of the higher echelons of clans with members around level 25 or higher.
However that\'s not where their fear stopped since human imagination was quite a wild concept. People thought of all strange things and one of them was a monster group which would be able to go outside and do as it wished while being stronger than even the goblin king\'s parade. That was truly something that not even some of the higher echelon members feared. The only people who would be able to be a real challenge let alone defeat those imaginary problems would be clan leaders such as Arthur and Batol or current leader of both the clans they used to run, Yuki.
"I guess you do make a good point. For now the FFF\'s WD clan will have a base of operations. For now, all members of FFF, you guys can go back to your kingdom for now. I\'ll come up with something soon so that you guys can come live in this kingdom as well," said Yuki with a nervous but promising smile.
After hearing this, Batol stopped bowing and began to walk upstairs before bringing Mark with him and taking his clan back to the kingdom they came from so that they could wait for the time where they would be called back.
However as the members from the FFF branch of the new clan known as FFF\'s WD clan were leaving, a white light came down from the sky before presenting a screen.
