Chapter 1341: Title
Chapter 1341: Title
As soon as Grivon was done, everyone looked at Migron's parents in shock.
Migron's parents are shocked even more. They even forgot to breathe for a moment. They knew the full story behind it, the person that came to her son is indeed Grivon, but the rest of the story is a bald-faced lie. At least more than half of it, if not the rest of it all is a lie.
But before they could reject it, Grivon continued.
"I am willing to show the reports on my forces' operations in that planet and the report on the whole take over process. The only that I gave is a small tip on the organization regarding its corruption. So, Migron decided that I don't get more than one planet, I didn't want to gain too much attention and also didn't want to start a conflict and since I also have some resources I need from that planet, I took it graciously.
But from what my friend who just left that realm told me, I can tell you that Migron is not exactly holding well there. It seems like the internal corruption of the organization is a plan created by another young master within the Mari Clan and we can say that Migron dived headfirst into an internal conflict of Mari Clan and now the Mari Clan is retaliating.
I don't know what kind of situation Migron is in and what kind of actions he has taken to save himself, but he kept on harassing me to give the name of the friend that gave me this information, but I don't want to give it.
As for why they did it so well, until now. I believe, Migron wants the clan's help but once the clan gets involved, the organization would become the clan's property and doesn't belong to Migron alone, he wouldn't be able to swallow the profits of the territory on a whole. So, they are hiding this information for profit but still want to reap the benefits of the clan.
I must say there are really bold."
Grivon finished and looked at them with scorn.
Giyon smiled in amusement and said.
"They are bold indeed."
The Elder and his wife froze on the spot. They don't even know how to rebuke the situation But they knew for sure that if they don't rebuke it, things wouldn't end well for them.
Once again taking the advantage of their silence, Grivon turned to clan head and spoke.
"Sir, I don't have any ill will towards Migron, so if he is really in crisis, I wouldn't mind helping him out, but it is not fair for my friend's name to be sold out because of his hotheadedness and I also cannot bring myself to believe them with all the secrets.
So, I would request the clan to investigate the matter on a deeper level before proceeding with the judgment."
Clan's head looked at the elder and his wife calmly.
"Clan head, this is not the case. Grivon is lying. He clearly set our son up."
"Elder, you are not giving me much ground here. Grivon explained everything in such detail and the only comeback you can muster is that he is lying. Do you want me to take your words at face value?
That wouldn't very fair now, would it?
The investigative department will take charge of the matter and if your son is really kidnapped, the clan would spare no effort to save him.
Until then, this issue is adjourned."
"Now that this petty issue is resolved, I would like it if my title is officially sanctioned."
It hasn't been a second before Giyon spoke up as soon as Clan's head finished his words.
The elders looked at her coldly.
"Clan head, it is unprecedented for people to give titles for the financial contributions." One of the elders said calmly."
"So what? This can be the first time. Our clan leader himself was the reason for one such event. He was given a special title, 'The Reaper of the Clan' because he killed the most number of people on a single battlefield protecting the clan.
From then on the title has been established and we are selecting the Reaper of the clan for every generation.
Our Clan leader's father, the previous clan leader also managed to create a new title. 'The Star strategist' because he managed to implement great strategies in the war that saved the clan in many ways.
We select Star Strategist for every generation.
So, I am establishing a new title myself and it would start my generation.
I would like the Clan head to consider this seriously."
"How can you compare the achievements of the clan leader and the previous clan leader with earning some money?"
"Some money? Because of my contribution, the resources for the teaching facilities of the clan disciples and the External members have doubled.
I managed to open up eight new trade routes with the people we have never even talked to before and we have access to new resources that our clan only heard but never saw.
My contributions are no less than the clan leader when he was just a candidate.
The only difference is that he reduced the losses of our clan by killing the enemies in the war and I reduced the losses by making our clan more prepared. In fact, I dare say that my contributions are much more long-term than killing people in the battle."
"Are you saying that your contributions are greater than that of the Clan head? How dare you?" Mingiv yelled out loud as he stood up.
Giyon didn't even blink as she looked at him with a frown.
"So what if I am saying that. I believe that my contributions are greater than the clan head. I am not afraid to say the truth out loud."
"You dare say those things. Giyon, do not forget your place. You are a person of the younger generation. You better show some decorum and respect."
Before the Elders could even react, Mingiv already took the liberty of scolding her. But Giyon didn't even acknowledge him this time and just looked at the Clan head, waiting for his reaction.
"I approve of the title allocation. But we cannot decide it immediately with a possible crisis to one of our members. We will discuss it in the next meeting when the case is resolved.
All the members in the current meeting shall stay within the clan grounds until the case is resolved and that includes you Giyon. Don't go running anywhere.
For now, you all are dismissed."
Slowly one after the other everyone walked out of the room. Migron's parents are the last ones to walk out. Their faces are gloomy and they don't know what to do or say.
Migron's mother is generally intelligent, but she couldn't find a solution at the moment and might as well be dumb as a rock.
As Grivon was thinking of what to do now that he cannot leave the clan grounds, Giyon suddenly came up from behind and twisted his ear.
"Now, now. Someone seemed to have grown up a bit. Good thinking. You almost got caught up in the mess, but you just threw Migron into a deeper one."
"Well, what can I do? That is the only way out. We already knew something like this might happen."
"You knew?"
"Yeah, I was doubtful at the start on why I needed to give such a large share to Migron so I discussed things with Sam. This is to make sure that Migron doesn't throw me off the boat when the time comes.
Even if he says that this is completely my idea and someone connects the dots, I would be the suspect for holding Sam and Sivan's people will come after me, so Sam arranged this. After all, no sane person would think that I gave up such a large portion of territory just because I wanted to frame one of my peers."
"But you did exactly that. Not bad. But I am sure that you didn't know you would need to use that today right?"
"Of course, I didn't know. That came as a surprise. I take credit for that quick thinking and using that groveling video of Migron."
"So, you didn't record it on purpose?"
"No, I just wanted to remember that ȧsshole's face like that. After all, it is indeed hard to get him to that state since his mother cleans up all the mess."
"That is true."
"By the way, I wanted to ask, why do you need the title exactly? You don't want to be the leader of the clan, so why would you need a title?"
