Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 544 - 347_Ear_2

Chapter 544: Chapter 347_Ear_2

Jake Wexler walked in with a light smile, “Though you’re only a useless man now, consider carefully where your father, who’s currently the Family Head, might have hidden Abel Scarlet? Confessing that would be a tremendous merit, which could offset the mistakes you’ve made earlier.”

“I have no idea.” Ernest Nango looked up at Jake Wexler, then shook his head. He turned his back, no longer willing to keep the conversation going. But Jake Wexler wouldn’t let things go, sceptical as he was of Ernest Nango’s guilt.

“Look at how things stand now, weigh the pros and cons. The reason the Lord wants to abandon your cultivation is not because you have offended Logan, but rather it’s due to Abel Scarlet being linked to you. It serves as a lesson for your father, and the next step is to purge him.”

Jake Wexler sat down leisurely, and poured himself a cup of tea, “The Lord even suspects that you have been instructed by your father. If no reason can be found, the entire Nango Family Clan will be treated as culprits.”

“Your deceits do not work on me. I’m sure I’m innocent. Indeed, I have secretly taken a good amount of Spirit Stones, but I would never dare to do anything to Abel Scarlet. Are you trying to get a coerced confession by threatening me now? I won’t oblige to become your scapegoat.”

Ernest gasped out a bitter laugh but his spirit wasn’t dampened, “I’m now just a good-for-nothing. Don’t talk to me about the interests of the Nango Family Clan. What has it got to do with me? If you don’t comply, just chop me up. After all, my life after this is certainly going to be miserable.”

“It’s true that your cultivation was deprived completely. But don’t forget, the Lord is a Quasi-Saint. Before I came, the Lord granted that if you can make up for your merit, your cultivation can be restored. Moreover, your qualifications can be activated to elevate you further.”

To convince Ernest Nango, Jake Wexler guaranteed with utter sincerity, “If there’s any lie in my words, I, Jake Wexler, am prepared to face retribution. After all, I’m a Half-step Saint. This retribution would be huge. I’m not going to tell lies here.”

Ernest Nango was affected by his words, but he still shook his head, indicating he knew nothing about it, regardless of how Jake Wexler questioned him.

Jake Wexler frowned. Despite his earnest explanation, Ernest Nango’s resolve remained unmoved. Had he misjudged? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

“Take some time to contemplate. This time it’s just me coming to ask. If the Lord comes, his temper wouldn’t be as pleasant!”

Jake waved his hand and left. Ernest Nango plunged into silence. Being stripped of his cultivation was already a painful curse, and now another disaster? Looking back at the event a few days ago, he did kill a man, and that man was Abel Scarlet.

He never told anyone about this, knowing full well that id he confessed it would lead to his downfall. Even during Jake Wexler’s interrogation, in order to save his own life, he had to withhold his words. But why did the suspicion fall on him? was it because the Lord already knew, or was Jake Wexler trying to trick him? Ernest Nango couldn’t figure it out. He found himself intrigued by the Lord’s potential to restore his cultivation. He would rather die than live without cultivation.

A while later, Nango Family Master also arrived, “Child, come home with me. Even if you have to live as an ordinary man for the rest of your life, your father will ensure your safety. After all, I’m still the Family Master and also a Half-step Saint.”

Ernest Nango remained silent, and left with his father. The Nango Family Master understood well that even the Lord dared not offend Logan, and probably, there was no chance of revenge for his son. He held onto the hope that Ernest Nango could live peacefully for the rest of his life.

They had just returned to the family, and the Elder, along with a group of young peers, surrounded Jake Wexler. They were full of concern and inquiry, which allowed the always anxious Ernest Nango to breathe a sigh of relief. At least after losing his cultivation, he wasn’t snubbed upon returning to the family.

Faced with everyone’s questions, the Nango Family Master originally did not want to say, but realized he couldn’t hide the matter anyway, so he might as well explain it clearly.

“Ernest Nango has had his cultivation level abolished, by the order of the Lord himself. However, that’s all in the past now; everybody can put their minds at ease.”

Sighing deeply, the Nango Family Master turned to everyone?and said: “Remember to maintain a low profile in the future. Should you ever encounter someone named Logan, be sure to take a detour. We can’t afford to provoke his power and influence, even the Lord behaves politely in his presence.”

“The Young Master’s cultivation has been abolished?” The outcry ran through the crowd. To be abolished was a different concept than merely losing one’s cultivation. Losing cultivation can be retrained, and the Nango Family has abundant cultivation resources, enough to strengthen Ernest Nango again in a short amount of time.

However, being “abolished” was different. His Dantian and Meridians were shattered, and it was feared that he’d never be able to tread the path of cultivation again. Amidst the shock, the younger members harbored ripples of hope in their hearts. Could the Young Master of the Nango Family be an ordinary person?

Eyes filled with fiery hope stared at Ernest Nango who they had previously revered due to his status as the future Family Head and his exceptional talent, forcing them to show him utmost respect. But things have now changed.

Now that Ernest Nango’s cultivation had been abolished, his future prospect of becoming the head of the family was extremely slim. It was anticipated that everyone, except the house master, was disinclined to let Ernest Nango ascend to the position of Family Master. Appointing an impotent person as the Family Master would lead the entire Nango family towards destruction.

The Family Head must be the strongest in cultivation. Even though the Nango Family Master can suppress anything undue with his own strength, he will eventually age. Therefore, another successor for the Young Master should be considered, giving every young disciple of the Nango Family a chance.

Ernest Nango initially tried to compose himself, but after hearing the whispers and conversations, his barely settled mood sunk again. It seemed that these young contemporaries had been eyeing his position as Young Master. He felt truly cast aside.

“I know what you have in your minds, and I urge you to drop the idea. As long as I remain the Family Master of the Nango clan, I will not let you succeed. Ernest Nango may have lost his cultivation, but no one can threaten his position as Young Master.”

The Nango Family Master surveyed the room, rebuking everyone, feeling a fire igniting in his heart. He had been back with Ernest Nango for not even ten minutes, and these people were already contemplating taking his position as Young Master. He was beyond indignant. Didn’t they have any sympathy for Ernest Nango?

An Elder in the family squinted his eyes and stood up: “Master, calm down. The fact that Ernest Nango has had his cultivation abolished is undeniable. I hope you can consider not only from a father’s perspective but also for the sake of the Nango Family, and remember your responsibility as Family Master.”

“We, the Elders, have unanimously decided to remove Ernest Nango from the position of Young Master for now. In the future, if his strength increases, he can reclaim the position. The title of ‘Young Master’ is nothing more than a label, and there is no need to monopolize it indefinitely, especially now that it is unreasonable in both feelings and logic.”

The other elders joined in, asserting their voices. Even though the Family Master’s authority was great, they, as the Elders, also had significant decision-making power. The young disciples’ desire to become the Young Master was understandable. It was inappropriate for the Nango Family Master to be yelling and threatening.

The Nango Family Master was livid, angrily said: “Can’t we wait for a while? Ernest Nango’s cultivation has just been abolished. Is it appropriate to be discussing all this now? Can’t we wait? I will use all means possible to restore his talent, what if he could resume his cultivation?”

“Do you think that’s possible?” The elders responded firmly, “We shouldn’t delay. Once hesitations begin, the young members of the family will undoubtedly fight and shed blood. It’s better to make a decision sooner. Or, you could give a timeframe, so everyone can have peace of mind.”

“At present, the two great Lords are biding their time for action. After settling this issue, I will immediately choose a new Young Master. If the Nango Family keeps having internal conflicts at this time, it will disrupt the Lord’s plans, and not a single one of you would be able to bear such consequences.”

The Nango Family Master stared deeply, all the elders weighed his words and nodded in agreement. Indeed, with an impending war, this issue could be postponed. The Family Master had already revealed his intentions, he would definitely choose a different successor in the future, otherwise, it would be his fault.
