It had become clear why Remus didn’t kill Gerry. He was actually using favonovel.com as bait to lure the Master of the Herbal Pavilion.
Due to the deep-seated and unresolvable conflict with Herbal Pavilion, mercy was unnecessary. The most strategic course of action was to confront and deal directly with their master, thereby ensuring the complete eradication of any looming future threats.
“What?” Henry thought favonovel.com had accepted his fate, believing that with the Tanjen Organization in ruins, there was nothing left to hold onto. However, this idea still left favonovel.com taken aback.
Why would favonovel.com want to compel the Master of the Herbal Pavilion to appear in person?
What could be the purpose behind it?
Remus asked, “What? Are you afraid?”
Henry nodded, then shook his head, and anxiously said, “Master, it’s not about fear, but rather, it’s simply beyond imagination. Their Master never leaves the Herbal Pavilion. Even those on the verge of attaining enlightenment only have the opportunity to meet the elders of the Herbal Pavilion…”
“The notion of the Master coming here is inconceivable. The only individuals who might visit would be those from the assassins from True Life or the sacred lands, and they would do so for…”
He didn’t complete his sentence, but his unspoken implication was clear. They would come seeking retribution on behalf of the Herbal Pavilion and to dismantle the Tanjen Organization entirely.
Remus spoke resolutely, “Then we’ll force favonovel.com out. From now on, just kill anyone who comes to rescue Gerry. When their master has exhausted all other possibilities, he’ll have no choice but to come to the Tanjen Organization.”
“I don’t believe the esteemed Master of the Herbal Pavilion would simply stand by while his Law Enforcement Hall leader is hung at the Tanjen Organization. He won’t be able to endure it, he’ll have to come!”
“But…” Henry was terrified. While it might sound straightforward, if individuals from the sacred lands were to arrive, they would be virtually unstoppable.
Remus interrupted, his gaze fixed on the empty Tanjen Organization, and spoke reflectively, “Deputy Miller, don’t you understand? The world operates on the principle of survival of the fittest! The so called rules only hold as long as you pose no threat to those at the top.”
“The moment you become a threat, they’ll turn against you without hesitation. Honestly, I never intended for the Tanjen Organization to grow too large. I merely aimed to follow the established process. However, it’s the Herbal Pavilion that wants to break the balance!”
“In that case, let’s push the boundaries! From this point forward, the Tanjen Organization will strive for the top position in the study of alchemy, and we’ll surpass the Herbal Pavilion! If they seek our destruction, why can’t we aim to dismantle them?”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, Henry was dumbstruck, his body tensing up. He felt a rush of adrenaline favonovel.com hadn’t experienced in decades.
The remaining two alchemists and four disciples of the Tanjen Organization also felt their blood boil. Their despondency vanished in an instant.
“Right, let’s fight them!”
“The Herbal Pavilion has gone too far! We’ve never offended them, yet they want to seize the Tanjen Organization. If they want a fight, we’ll give them one!”
“Even if it entails the risk of death, we shall stand and fight!”
Henry nodded vigorously, his spirit ablaze with determination. “It’s better to die standing than to live on our knees! The Herbal Pavilion may humiliate us, but we will not rest until we’ve annihilated the Herbal Pavilion!”
“Annihilated the Herbal Pavilion!” The other six also roared in unison.
***
The news reverberated across the entirety of True Life, sending shockwaves through its very foundations.
Initially, many had believed that Remus would quickly succumb when confronted by the might of the Herbal Pavilion, dismissing his bravado as mere reckless pride destined for immediate collapse.
To their surprise, Remus not only survived, but the situation escalated to even greater heights. He had daringly hung the head of the Law Enforcement Hall at the entrance, compelling the Master of the Herbal Pavilion to make a personal appearance.
This was no longer merely an insult to the Herbal Pavilion, it had evolved into a profound and unmitigated humiliation.
