Chapter 523: Taking Off The Head
Harbour, Anna, Charlotte, Ivor, and Bargo had all entered the ceremonial room. It was a room created by the Lethal Bite Clan for celebrations and usually to honor those moving up in rank.
Today was one of the biggest days in the Lethal Bite Clan's long history as they had come to a decision as to who they wished to make their leader.
When they entered the room, it was nothing like the last time Harbour had seen it. How could a room filled with so much death feel like a joyous occasion?
Most of the bodies were shriveled up beyond recognition. Parts of their limbs cut and torn, injured.
Standing in the center of it all was none other than Raze.
"He did all of this?" Bargo commented, being surprised. He was wondering if this was something even the Clan Head of the Moon Shield Clan would have been capable of.
Perhaps so, but in such a short time frame, was a different story entirely, and even more so when looking at Raze. Apart from the blood on his clothing, there didn't appear to be a scratch on him.
Standing on the stage in the room was Niang, the new Clan Head, a few of the Elders including Connor, and several of the supporters that were deciding people in bringing Niang to the position he had achieved.
However, as Raze was taking care of the clan members at a fast speed one after the other, they were dumbfounded with not a single one of them jumping in, and before they knew it, all the warriors in the room had fallen.
"No… still not enough, they weren't enough, I need the rest of you," Raze said as he pointed his sword right toward Niang standing in the center.
"Who are you, who sent you to do this to our clan!" Niang shouted, his head still shaking with anger. As he shouted at Raze though, he could see behind him the group of people that had just arrived.
"Harbour?" Niang called out with a raised eyebrow. "And the others you brought with you… it was you, you were the one that sent this man to attack us, is he from the Moon Shield Clan, huh!"
Harbour couldn't believe it, even now, in the situation he was in, Niang was still keeping up with the lies that he had made.
But, there couldn't have been a larger smile on his face right now.
"You are a fool, that has brought this upon yourself," Harbour claimed. "All of you standing there, you all brought this upon yourself."
"You didn't believe a word I had to say and just trusted the twisted words of this vile man that is now the head of the clan!"
"The Moon Shield Clan? Do you really think a member of the Moon Shield Clan can wield this power? Someone that we didn't know about other than the clan leader?"
Those on the stage looked at the man below. Due to his mask, they couldn't see his face, but one thing they could tell was based on his body shape, he didn't seem to be the Moon Shield Clan leader.
But who else could it be, who could Harbour have connections with to be able to bring so much chaos to the Lethal Bite Clan?
"Everything seems to just be a string of fate, as you can see, I rescued Bargo and Ivor, the Vice Head of the Moon Shield Clan, and the Clan member in charge of the barracks that I sent here.
"Do you care to explain why they were locked up in our cells!"
Connor's gaze was staring at Niang from the corner of his eyes. Originally, they had believed that Bargo had run away.
It made him look guilty of his crimes, and Connor thought it might have been a plan set up by the other Clans. Yet, why would Bargo be here now of all things.
"Do you have an answer?" Connor asked.
"An answer?" Niang replied as he moved closer to Connor. "Do you think this man down there had the right, after bringing someone that took down our entire clan? He has brought the clan to ruin."
"If he was the leader, look what would have happened."
"Are you really that clouded in your own judgment, living in your own world!" Harbour shouted. "All of this has only happened because of what you have done."
"You went too far. You could have just kicked me out of the clan, but instead you even went after my family. All of what is happening today is a result of your own actions!"
A thread of guilt was overflowing in Connor right now. When they had the meeting, the evidence was stacking up against Harbour overwhelmingly. To the point even those that supported him had crossed him.
When did it happen, when did he fail to notice that Niang had so much influence over the clan? It had to be something that was brewing for a long time, even during the reign of Feebie and Royo being at the top.
"I'm sorry for what has happened, Harbour, my negligence in the Clan matters has failed the whole clan-"
In the middle of his speech, a dagger had appeared right through Connor's throat, out to the back of his head covered in blood.
"Shut up!" Niang said as he pulled out the sword, and Connor fell to the floor. "Are you saying that my reign that has only been so small is a failure?"
"I am at the helm of the Lethal Bite Clan that will make history. Our clan will be the biggest it's ever been and will lead the Dark Faction to conquer all other factions and unite the continents."
"I was able to unite the Lethal Bite Clan, by taking out all of those that were useless and not loyal to the cause, and I will do the same with the rest of the Dark Faction. I will not have someone tarnish the name of the new Lethal Bite Clan while I am at its head."
Harbour shook his head. It wasn't at the sight of the Lethal Bite Clan Connor losing his life. Because Harbour wanted to take that from him as well.
In his mind, he blamed all of the Lethal Bite Clan for not looking into matters. He did everything for the clan, gave his whole life to the clan, and they repaid him by killing his family.
However, he shook his head at the reason for all of it happening, and Niang's goal in all of this, it was truly saddening for him to hear.
"You're right, you will be remembered in the history of the Lethal Bite Clan as the one who was at the head when the Lethal Bite Clan was no longer and fell to oblivion."
Harbour was screaming at the top of his lungs that his throat hurt, he was so saddened by his words that tears were streaming down his face again.
"You said you will grant me my wish… so please, grant it for me, get rid of that man!" Harbour demanded.
"Don't worry, I was already planning to," Raze answered. "He is the current head of the Lethal Bite Clan, and as long as there is a head, the Clan will always exist."
Raze crouched down, holding the sword by his side, and his Qi started to pulsate right by the hilt.
