Transmigrated Enhancement Specialists - Chapter 57
The submission of the arrogant and overbearing Elder astonished each and every disciple in the vicinity. All of their mouths were opened so wide that one could fit an egg into it and their eyes were wide open like saucers. They never thought even in their wildest dreams that someone could actually subdue that overbearing Elder. Most importantly, they never expected that it would be Jiang Tian!
The scene was so surreal that every disciple found another disciple and had their cheeks slapped, checking if everything was real or not.
But no matter how many times they tried to rub their eyes or pinch their cheeks. The scene unveiled before them was undoubtedly real. The domineering Elder that often ripped them off their contribution points was paying respects, right now towards their fellow Outer Disciple.
“Stand up. Now tell me honestly, how much contribution points should every disciple get?” Jiang Tian ordered and the Elder slowly stood up and dusted his shoulders. Bitterly smiling, his heart bled upon the sight of his main source of income disappearing right before his eyes. Unfortunately, in front of an Authority Token, he was nothing so in the end, he had no other choice but to reply.
“The Elder assigned to tally the contribution points as reward for the disciples should only acquire at most ten percent of the entire tallied rewards…” His word sounded soft and reluctant, yet the disciples who strained their senses just to hear his confession leaped upwards in shock.
They never thought that they were entitled to such a huge amount. Ever since the start of the war, they felt and thought that it was natural for them to receive five or ten contribution points in each recovery mission due to the fact that the Xia Clan was in a state of crisis. Never did they expected that the Elder didn’t indulge them honestly and kept the remaining contribution points for himself.
In that instant, anger flared up within the hearts of every disciple. The collective piercing gazes of several hundred angered Outer Disciples intimidated even the Elder arranged by the Xia Clan.
“Calm down, everyone. I suggest that we don’t hurt or injure him, if we do, the Xia Clan will brand us all as traitors and dispose of us as a result…” Jiang Tian warned and the disciples sharply inhaled in fear before retracting their gazes.
They almost lost themselves in fury and anger, if not for Jiang Tian’s warning, they would’ve leaped at the Elder and pummeled him towards the ground. Staring at the former with gratitude. Jiang Tian nodded his head and smiled.
“Senior Brother Xia Lei, can you come up here for a moment and talk with me privately?” He gestured towards the nearby tent and albeit doubtful. Xia Lei complied and the two went inside the tent for a small talk, leaving the Elder standing there with a dark expression on his face.
“This can’t do! If this goes on, I would have to return every contribution points that I earned from these brats! What’s more, I already spent them all so I have nothing to return! I need to find a way, I need to find a way so that I could escape this quagmire!” The Elder clenched his fists. HIs mind madly spun looking for that opportunity or scheme to break out of his current predicament.
Since the Xia Clan was located in a remote area within the continent where resources were scarce. People often fight for it with their lives on the line and the Elder wasn’t an exception. For the sake of cultivation resources, he schemed against his disciples and took what they deserved away.
Returning back from the tent, Jiang Tian wore a small smile on his face as he approached the Elder and stood before him once again. Standing there with his arms crossed together, the Elder couldn’t help but feel bitter and irritated by Jiang Tian’s actions, if not for this bastard, I still would’ve kept those contribution points! He thought in his head.
“Everyone, let’s not act so brashly. I understand your feelings of indignance but we should still remember that he’s an Elder, no matter how many of us gather and speak out against him, the Xia Clan will still favor him due to his position, that’s the cruel reality of the world…” Jiang Tian’s voice rang loud and clear, piercing through the hearts of every disciple whose fists tightly clenched.
That’s right, in the end. Without strength, we are nothing. Without strength, we could easily be trampled and be deprived of everything that we have… They all thought in their minds.
The Elder who stood before Jiang Tian suddenly trembled in realization. That’s right! He was an Elder and no matter what happens, the Xia Clan will undoubtedly support his actions for he was an indispensable asset for the current Xia Clan. Inwardly sneering, the Elder calmed down and stared at Jiang Tian with ridicule, staring in amusement at his futile efforts of struggle.
Unbeknownst to him. Jiang Tian pinched a small glowing stone within his hands which disappeared into crystallized dust. Staring at the Elder, Jiang Tian saw that the man’s eyes glittered in disdain and ridicule. Smiling, Jiang Tian said.
“Although I said that we can’t be brash. That doesn’t mean that we cannot claim what was ours. The assigned collector of contribution points from the Xia Clan, please hand over the contribution points that was rightfully ours…”
Jiang Tian said in a mellow and amiable tone that pleaded for mercy towards the strong. However, his words astonished the Elder whose expression changed into different colors. Standing there with hesitation brewing in his heart, the Elder gulped a mouthful of saliva and Spiritual Energy rotated, forming into a vortex that converged into his palm.
The suddenness of the situation left everyone astonished. Jiang Tian who stood at the forefront of everything didn’t expect the Elder’s actions as the latter fiercely slapped his own chest, spouting a mouthful of blood that drenched the ground.
Wiping the edge of his lips, the Elder stared grimly at the disciples, shattered a jadeslip within his hands and screamed in a miserable voice akin to pigs being slaughtered.
“AAAH! HELP! The disciples from the Recovery and Enhancement Team are rebelling!”
