Chapter 158: New Disaster Zone (Part 2)

Nicholas Sabate lived up to his name—he was wild and arrogant in his youth but became mild and obedient after marrying and having a child.

He conformed to rules and norms.

It wasn’t that he feared the Lin family.

He and his sister had a love affair from the beginning, from infatuation to mutual affection, they had set an example of a model couple among the upper class.

Unbeknownst to them, many people also envied and cursed their relationship, anticipating for their breakup and divorce.

"Ah, Kenny is back too. It’s been a while since the last time I saw you. I’ve been asking, when are you going to visit the Sabte family?" Nicholas Sabate was one of the few people who wasn’t afraid of Kenny Lin’s cold demeanor and could chat with him freely.

His sister often said that something was off in his head.

Nicholas Sabate’s today visit wasn’t merely a casual drop-in.

After exchanging pleasantries with Kenny Lin, he went to discuss serious matters with Mr. Lin.

They didn’t try to hide things from him; in fact, they hoped he would get involved in some matters, fearing that while you anticipated something here, he might disregard you over there.

Nicholas Sabate was part of the military, currently in charge of military supplies.

Although he was not at the frontline, he still has a lot of money in his hand.

Moreover, the amount of money passing through his hands daily was enough to drown countless people.

However, no matter how much money there was, it couldn’t be spent recklessly, especially when purchasing certain expensive items.

"The Yoder family is really despicable."

Nicholas Sabate suddenly burst into a curse.

Mr. Lin who was sitting across from him had anticipated this, and showed no change in expression as he said, "Another price hike?"

Nicholas Sabate vigorously nodded, "That guy Walter Yoder took advantage of the situation. Initially, we agreed on that price, yet not even half a year later, he claims he wants to increase it."

"The Yoder family controls over half of the country’s artifact refining resources. Their audacity in making such demands is not surprising," Mr. Lin said calmly.

The most crucial resource in refining an artifacts is the essence unity crystal, but unfortunately, the majority of it were controlled by the Yoder family.

It’s no wonder they’re so arrogant.

At that time, the country was in a severe turmoil, and the situation of individual families went unnoticed.

By the time the leaders’ attention finally shifted, the Yoder family had already established itself firmly.

Attacking the Yoder family at this point wouldn’t be beneficial to the recently stabilized situation.

Not only do they control most of the essence unity crystal, but they’ve also recruited a large number of artificer at that time.

From a second-rate,and bottom-tier family, the Yoder family leaped to become a major force rivaling the Lin and Zhao families.

The Yoder family can be said to have a legendary rise.

However, despite this legendary rise of the Yoder family, they still lack the deep-rooted strength and the cultural heritage accumulated over thousands of years like the Lin and Zhao families.

Apart from Hael De Yoder, the ancestor who led the Yoder family onto this legendary path, the later generations of the Yoder family grew increasingly deviant.

They bore the ambitions to control the fate of the fruit country.

Of course, the Yoder family never explicitly stated this, but their actions were quite evident.

"The Yoder family members never consider why the higher-ups didn’t directly deal with the opportunistic Yoder family back then. It’s all thanks to Hael de Yoder’s willingness to contribute a vast amount of resources to the country. Otherwise, could the Yoder family have reached this stage now?" Nicholas Sabate sneered coldly.

"His descendants have gotten too comfortable, and forgetting they were once insignificant people. Yet, now they dare to step over us," he added.

"Someone under extreme stress might act recklessly."

"These things you mention, keep them between us. Don’t spread rumors. While the Yoder family’s reputation has been nearly destroyed, their artifact refining are still there, and over the years, they’ve attracted many young artificer," hinted Mr. Lin.

Nicholas Sabate knew he couldn’t speak carelessly.

But Mr. Lin was one of own ally, so he said: "Elder brother, is it true that the Yoder family’s essence unity crystal haven’t been depleted even after all these years?"

"They might not have been entirely depleted, but estimating how much longer they’ll last is uncertain," Mr. Lin shook his head.

Nicholas Sabate’s eyes lit up suddenly, "Elder brother, what if they’re about to run out? Do you know what conditions the Yoder family proposed to the military this time?"

Mr. Lin worthy as a man who was appointed by Old Man Lin as the head of the family, he immediately grasped the situation, and said: "Is it related to the new disaster zone?"

"Yes, after confirming sweet cherry city as the new disaster zone, the military detected numerous massive energy fluctuations inside. They suspect it might be an advanced level disaster zone, possibly a new S-class disaster zone," Nicholas Sabate explained.

His gaze then shifting to Kenny Lin, who remained silent and aloof.

"Kenny, i believe you probably already knew about the allocation of fifty slots to your school. Without the ongoing collaboration between the school and the military, there wouldn’t be that many slots allocated. At most, it would have been thirty."

An additional twenty slots were specifically secured by the leaders of Heavenly Path University.

Even Heavenly Path University’s leaders attached such importance to the new disaster zone, how could other forces not pay attention it.

Yet, the military could only allocate a total of five hundred slots, and reserving some for themselves.

Although it seemed like a significant number, many people wanted those slots.

They were distributed among various factions, and within moments, they were all taken.

The Lin, Zhao, and Yoder families held a great influence in fruit country.

Each family got thirty slots, and totaling ninety slots for these three families.
