Chapter 137: The Truth

Inside the fox family room, the grand elder was sitting in his usual spot in anger as he waited for the elders of the council to arrive and after some time, they were finally in the hall together with the family head who was as confused as everyone one of the elders as to why they were holding another meeting. Seeing that everyone has arrived, the grand elder let out a sigh as he said at loud.

"Do you all know that the Phoenix family has been coming into our territory all this while even when we have stated it clear that they should let the boy be".

"That is impossible, there is no way that they would have come into our territory without anyone knowing" disagree the family head as he finds it out to believe that those from the phoenix family could easily enter their territory.

"There has been an attack on the boy by a member sent from the phoenix family to assassinate him and the intruder has been helped by some fools from our family" said the grand elder as he ignored the family head.

"And who are these people that you say that assistant the intruder" asked the family head with a frown on his face when hearing that someone helped the attacker.

"Who else could it be other than those trouble makers of the family who cant take their cultivation seriously rather they choose to cause trouble wherever they go" replied the grand elder in anger.

"Guard.....guard" Yelled the family head.

After hearing the grand elder say those words, the family head already has a clue as to who the grand elder was speaking about since they are the only one who has been causing trouble in the family. It didn't take long for the guards to arrive in the hall.

"Tell Andrew and his friends to come here this instant and also invite their parents" order the family head.

After getting the order, the guard left the hard as he went out to complete his task. 

After the guard had left the hall, one of the elders turned to the grand elder as he asked. 

"So what measures do you think we should take at a time like this".

"We can't leave things lying down when we know what they have done" added another elder.

"Retaliating is equivalent to a declaration of war" replied the grand elder and everybody went quiet.

Declaring war against the other family is not a good idea since many lives would be at stake so until there is no other choice, they will need to think of another approach to get back to the phoenix family.

After some quietness with no one speaking, the family head spoke up since the matter is quite serious.

"I don't think there is a need for us to go that far over a kid who is not even a member of our family". 

"He may not be one of us but it is also true that he is living in our land which puts him under our care and for the phoenix family to sneak into our territory without getting permission from us, show how they view us to be inferior to them" replied the grand elder.

"But there has to be another approach we can use against them apart from going into war with them" said elder Luke.

"It will all depend on how they are going to respond to the matter" replied the grand elder.

While they were speaking, a knock came from the door before it opened and that is when they could see some young boy walking inside with their parents tagging along.

After entering the hall, they all bow before Andrew's father begins to speak.

"I would like to know why we have been summoned into the hall".

"There has been issue with the members of the Phoenix family and it seems like your good for nothing children knew of it and still choose to help them out all because of a little conflict they had with the boy who is living close to the forest with his mother and sister and it happens to be the person the Phoenix are looking for" said the family head as he tries to contain his anger.

Andrew's father was shocked to hear that his son was helping an intruder and to be sure about what he just heard, he turned to his son who was standing beside him and asked.

"Andrew, is it true that you help an intruder with his task of eliminating the young boy when you should have reported his existence".

"That is not true father, I never met anyone from the phoenix family that kid is lying against because of a little issue we had" replied Andrew as he refused to submit.

"Jason may be a troublesome person but I don't see a reason why he should lie against someone he could easily deal with" said the grand elder.

"Grand elder, I have known my son to be a troublemaker but helping someone from the other families with their task and at the same time making their identity unknown to others is something he will never do" said Andrew's father with a bow.

"I never expected you to side with your son without investigating the matter. What about you guys, are you also saying that I am lying about you helping the intruder" said the grand elder as he locked his gaze on Denise and the rest.

"Grand elder just like Andrew here, I don't know anything about an intruder coming into our territory" said Michael with a bow.

The grand elder went quiet as he began to look at them one more time before withdrawing his gaze and resting his back on the chair.

"I thought we can handle this matter nicely with you guys running free with little punishment but since you don't want to agree to your wrongdoing, then you leave me with no choice. Guard summoned Jason from the alchemy room" order the grand elder after asking them once more time. 

The guard runs off leaving Andrew and his gang with a worried look on their face. After some time of waiting, Jason was escorted into the hall by the same guard who quickly returned to his position after completing his task…

After entering the hall, Jason begins to scan the place as to why many people were gathered only for him to see Andrew among the people and that is when a wide smile appears on his face as he said.

"Look who is here, so you thought that you can easily run scout free after setting me up".

"What are you talking about you loser, who are you saying set you up" asked Andrew with a frown when he saw Jason. 

"Oh so now we are acting dumb eh" said Jason with a smile on his father.

"Look here kid, you better hurry up and stop all this accusation about my son setting you up" said Andrew's father in anger when seeing Jason playing around.

"You must be the father of this unfulfilled child of yours" asked Jason as he turned to the middle-aged man standing next to Andrew.

"And so what, hurry up and tell them that my son was innocent" replied Andrew's father.

"But your son was never innocent in the first place so what are you talking about" said Jason before turning to the grand elder who was sitting above them, Jason greeted them all before asking.

"I would like to know why I was summoned here".

"Jason, are these the people you said brought you to the forest where they left you with the member of the phoenix family" asked the grand elder.

"Yes they are, I remember just coming back from my training only to meet them waiting outside our tent and I tried chasing them away but he refused to say that he will not leave until I have a match with him which I refuse to but after many persuading, I agreed to fight with him and that is when he suggested that we go into the forest for the fight to avoid getting interrupted which I also agreed on and that is how I followed him into the forest but to my surprise, Andrew was not coming to a stop even after going deep into the forest and I have to stop following them since it didn't seem right only for him to smile at me and that was when a sword was sent my way which I barely avoided only to see that they are nowhere to be found" replied Jason aa he told them about the event.

"He's lying grand elder, I have never been to his place" yelled Andrew before anyone could speak.

"Silence….. Who gave you the right to speak" said the grand elder in anger as he slammed his hand on the wooden table in front of him.

Andrew could only lower his head while trying to avoid the grand elder's angry gaze.
