I Want to Die, But I Am Immortal

But the Royal Family is not interfering anywhere for now. They are silent.

Samuel was very surprised to hear this. He thought the Royal Family's support was absolute. Then his eyes lit up with a sudden idea. A desperate gambit. He said what if we give that boy Adam to the Royal Family as a reward.

Hearing this Borcelino looked at Samuel. His expression was grim. He said what do you think. Have our men been sitting idle until now.

We have been trying to find him. Besides we have not received a reply from The Ghost Group yet. We can only hope they have been successful in killing this boy.

Then Samuel smiled a thin hopeful smile. He said The Ghost Group has never been unsuccessful. They are the best. They always complete their mission.

Hearing this Borcel-ino also smiled. A flicker of hope returned to his eyes. He said then I have high hopes that we can win this war. If we give that boy to the Royal Family then our support is guaranteed. They will protect us. They will end this war. Saying this a ray of hope was clearly visible in both their eyes. They clung to it like drowning men.

We see the other family heads. The ones who have started a war on Philips's family. Those five families are sitting in a large ornate room. Their men are sitting all around them. They are silent and tense. The air is thick with anger and grief.

Then an old man among them stood up. His name was Isaac. He commanded the room with his presence. He said I have called you all here because I have to tell you something very important. I know that we all do not have good relations with each other. Our families have been rivals for generations. But if you want to take revenge for what happened then listen to my words carefully.

Hearing this all the people present there started looking at Isaac very carefully. They respected him even if they did not like him. He was wise.

Then Isaac spoke again. His voice was steady and strong. If you think that we five families together can defeat the Song family then you are wrong. It is a foolish thought. The Song family has the support of the Royal Family. That is why our victory in this war is almost impossible.

Hearing this a lady was present there. She was very old her face a mask of wrinkles and sorrow. She looked at Isaac and said how are you so confident about this Isaac. What do you know that we do not.

Hearing this the faces of all the people present there went pale. A cold fear gripped the room. Because they knew how infamous The Ghost Group was. They were not just assassins. They were legends. They were monsters who never failed.

Then another man stood up. He looked very calm and collected. He seemed to be in his 40s a man in his prime. He said "So Mr. Isaac what do you suggest we do?" His voice was steady a rock in the sea of their fear.

Then Isaac said "We will save that boy."

The words hung in the air. The silence was deafening. Hearing this all of them looked at Isaac with very surprised expressions. They stared at him as if he had lost his mind. They all spoke at once. "Are you crazy? we will not stay alive after doing this. The Royal Family will hunt us down."

Isaac subsequently elevated his hand. It was a modest gesture. He reassured them and stated, "I am aware that the Royal Family is pursuing that boy."

"If the Royal Family discovers that we are safeguarding that boy, they will not cease until they eliminate us. They will annihilate our families. But What if the Royal Family remains unaware? We may exert pressure on the Song family from two angles. We can dismantle them."

Hearing this all the people looked at each other. They saw the same doubt and fear in each other's eyes. Then that old lady stood up again. She looked at Isaac her gaze sharp and penetrating.

She added, "I understand that what you have thought of is beneficial to this conflict. You are playing a larger game. But are you aware of the risks associated with this step? We will only receive the destruction of the Song family as a reward. But if we lose, our families are done....Completely eliminated."

Then Isaac smiled a confident knowing smile. He said "Who said that we will only get the destruction of the Song family in reward?"

Hearing this all the people became very serious. They started looking at Isaac with new attention. Then Isaac said "We will get the support of the Royal Family. After we win their trust."

Then everyone was surprised. The room buzzed with quiet murmurs. One of the leaders asked "Why will we get the support of the Royal Family? They will see us as traitors."

Then Isaac smiled again. His plan was unfolding perfectly. He said "Because we will give that boy to the Royal Family after this family war is over. We will deliver their greatest enemy to them on a silver platter."

They finally started to understand Isaac's idea. They understood what Isaac wanted to say.
