Chapter 1274: Royal Zodiac Meeting -Part 5

“I could tell you all my background story of how my parents were brutally killed by the Banned Emperor Assassins just as I was a newborn baby. There should be police records of it years ago assuming none of them had been deemed classified, archived or worse still, scrapped.” Jin said thinking none of them will care with the exception of Yang Rou Xiang, the Head of Royal Zodiac Sheep as well as the lady who said that she could cure everyone of their ailments if Jin had poisoned the food that they ate previously.

“No, explain more. Especially how they were found dead.” Rou Xiang queried even though this was delaying the meeting even further. (And that is why meetings are never productive…) Even though almost everyone in the room believed that they needed to know a little more about Jin, they did not really care about him much until the Royal Zodiac Sheep Head had decided to probe further. 

“From what I heard from my grandfather before he passed away, they were killed almost beyond recognition and their Dantian cores had been shattered. The same technique was almost used to assassinate Tigers when they came to my shop.” Jin said and Rou Xiang sighed.

“Although I could not vouch for him, he spoke the truth of the young couple. I was one of the professionals called to the scene and it left me bewildered on the killer’s modus operandi.” Rou Xiang said. “We later learned that that young couple was the last few surviving members of Panda Clan and possibly the up and coming new Panda Lord. Little did we know that they had already given birth to a young child.” 

“Because former General Ming had been rather secretive and protective of his only grandson’s identity.” Se Chang Chang, the Snake Head remarked. “I worked with him in the army and he kept such a secret for a long time even though we were once close colleagues. We all assumed the grandson was adopted based on how he told the story. And here is the flesh and blood of the last standing Panda Clan member.”

“Still doesn’t mean he could not have betrayed us in the near future. If Jin had been amicable, he would have found ways to cohabit with us rather than killing our men.” Shu Tiao Xiao exclaimed, and Jin looked at him only to remember how Wo De Tian was so ruthless in destroying the Tiangong Shopping District. What the Rat Head had poured his woes on was clearly the pot calling the kettle black

“Not to mention how he flexed his muscles to cripple both of my sons in broad daylight during the festive Chinese New Year. How much humiliation one can take from this rebel Lord is rather limited.” Yuan Ba chipped in and Yang Ling could see her father was merely fueling the flames of accusation once more.

Defence Minister He Fei and a few other Zodiac Heads felt the need to keep quiet to see how Jin would react in such a situation. As long as he wears the mantle of the Panda Lord, he would need to present himself as worthy to be sitting at the adult’s table even though some of the adults were behaving like children. It is just an unwritten rule to ascend as a Royal Zodiac Head.

“Business is business, Head Shu, I lament your loss but if you cannot get over the fact that your Triad Boss is unable to beat a game which he had started, that is not my concern. And Head Hu. The Heavens had overseen the fight, fair and square while the rest of my companions fought against overwhelming numbers without killing a single one of your men. Injuries aside, they are all still alive. I might have offended you but you were the one who poked the hornet’s nest. Therefore, I asked that the both of you stop being such sore losers. Admit your defeat and move on.” Jin replied and Kraft could already hear a few subtle chuckles and slight smirks on their faces. Oh, the entertainment was worth it and he was glad to be here.

The two Heads were stunned and speechless for a while since they assumed that their snarky comments would infuriate Jin with all the accusations and subsequently put him in place but it seemed like the opposite had occurred. Yet, the Panda Lord was not done and he continued to attack the two of them by offering them an olive bunch.

“Move on and be my ally in the fight against the Banned Emperor. I can only think that the motive of them killing my parents would be to completely decimate a possible rising Royal Zodiac Clan at that point in time. Supposedly nipping the problem at its bud could have solved the problem but they did not expect their son would rise to exact vengeance against them. So if anyone still doubts my resolve, you can voice it out now.”

“Then perform a Heavenly Five Element Tribulation right in front of us and swear that you will defeat the Banned Emperor at all cost.” Tiao Xiao said in a fit of anger and thus the worst scenario possible in Jin’s and Kraft’s minds had been realised. It’s not that Jin could not perform the Heavenly Five Element Tribulation, the promise itself would be an extremely assuring factor to increase his trust towards the Royal Zodiacs but it’s the wording of the swearing that needs to be considered.

Usually, when someone performed the Heavenly Five Element Tribulation, it was in a fit of anger and many who did that had the wording of their promise to be too broad for interpretation, causing people to suffer the Heaven’s Wrath unnecessarily. So, Jin either had to circumvent this situation by trying to avoid the use of the Heavenly Five Element Tribulation (Which is unlikely and cause suspicions) or have a proper phasing so that the Heavenly Five Element Tribulation would only be struck if he were to derail away from his road of serving justice to the Banned Emperor’s lackeys.

So, he decided to return the favour. “Then what about everyone in this room? Have they performed the very same Heavenly Five Element Tribulations concerning the said common enemy?”
