Chapter 8 - Chapter:- 8

The future has already changed with him here but to survive an endless war in the future. A Morningstar family has to become the strongest family and I am not doing because I have interest in saving the family, but I am doing this for only Ethan because he has very deep loyalty family but also someone that I care about, otherwise I already left the Morningstar family years ago.

Therefore, Lucas's main plan now is to not interfere in the events that happens in future and for Ethan to survive he decides to make a Morningstar family too strong then any ancient family for the time when the barrier will be broken.

"According to the ancestors' sayings, the barrier will soon be broken, and the appearance of dungeons is a sign of that," Lucas with a serious expression.

"So you're saying that we still have less than twenty years to go to war with beings that even our ancestor who was at the peak of the Ninth-tier couldn't handle, how did you know all this?" Idar said.

"I don't have proof and I can't tell you how I came to know this information, but you'll be sure of my words shortly," Lucas said.

"Do the other eight families know about the barrier?" said a man in his thirties dressed as a ship captain

Giam Morningstar, captain of the marine crew, and a warrior from the Sixth-tier

"Approximate all ancient families knows about this and even some of the major forces know about the barrier, but they don't know what is behind the barrier." Lucas

"Then why do they keep the existence of the barrier secret and why are they fighting each other? Wouldn't it be better to unite their strength to face the danger behind the barrier?" said Elisa

Recently, the Morningstar family has noticed that many forces are gathering their forces in secret and even some powerful families have declared war on each other.

"There is a prediction that whoever will unite the human continent will get a second-class title, so after the major powers noticed the weakness of the barrier, they began to compete for who would unite the continent and get the title, and soon this competition will turn into a continental war," Lucas said with a serious expression.

Thus, Lucas continued the meeting, and many issues were discussed

As ways to make Iskar city stronger and some talents to be attracted to the Morningstar family, the reason for Lucas's stop the dungeon expenditure was also discussed, telling them that dungeon is higher than you see but dungeon boss monster at the peak of the eighth rank and it would be impossible to face with their current strength.

A dungeon Is evaluated by the energy it contains. There are five levels of a dungeon and they are symbolized by stars as a low-level one-star dungeon and a high-level five-star dungeon.

But the monster is sealed in a dungeon and can't leave even if the dungeon explodes

Finally, Lucas concluded the meeting by saying:

"Remember, our main goal is to get stronger in preparation for the time when the barrier will be broken, we will not get involved in the Continental War or the events that will take place on the continent from now on, we will simply close in on ourselves and get stronger, and We will only act if we are attacked."

The council members still had so many doubts about Lucas's statements but they had no choice but to take what he said seriously because what he said seems unbelievable, it will answer many questions, for example, why do the five Empires prevent the red line from being crossed in the ocean, despite their claim that there are powerful sea monsters outside the red line, they did not provide any evidence regarding their words

In the Morningstar trade Hall

Morningstar Trade Hall is a medium-sized trading company with many branches all over Luminarch Empire.

(What should I do?) Idar thought with a complicated expression on his face

Lucas gave each member of the council a task, and Idar's task was to invest a huge amount from the treasury of the company, which is already suffering from a financial shortfall to buy land from the lifasy city that is very far from the Iskar, The time required to reach the lifasy city of from the Iskar city is more than two months using the cart

Lucas said without providing any evidence that this land contained an energy crystal mine

(If that was true, it would certainly be a good Trade but I really should trust that child) Idar

Idar actually never agreed to Lucas to be the head of the family because Lucas is a cold-hearted person with complicated mental problems. He's more complicated than his father and Idar didn't want the Morningstar family and the Iskar city to suffer under the rule of someone like that again.

One year ago

"Why, why are you so determined to refuse, if that kid continues to rule the family it will be destroyed sooner or later," screamed idar.

"Elisa, Idar is right, you have to challenge Lucas for the position of the family head, when you win the challenge, even Ethan can't object" Anas

"And why do you think I will win?" Elisa said in a low voice

"We didn't hear you well what you said," said Idar after he heard inaudible murmurs coming out of Elisa

"And why do you think I can defeat Lucas?" Elisa said loudly, "You are all wary of Ethan, but you ignore the real person to be wary of…You don't know how terrifying Lucas is…. He's…"

Although Elisa said that in a Cold expression as usual Idar could see that Her hands were trembling

Whenever Idar remembers that conversation, he feels like his hair is standing in awe

(Just what is it that makes a warrior from the Seventh-tier shiver like that….just what the hell did that night happen)

Knock Knock Knock

"Enter," Idar said

"Sir, did you call me?" An old man dressed as a servant came in and said

"Get the cart ready, we're going to lifasy City"

In the Morningstar family's main palace

After the meeting ended, Lucas returned to the chemistry room.

(First I have to solve the food problem of the Iskar City, looks like I'll have to recreate Organic fertilizer) Lucas thought as he looked at the food stats in Iskar City.
