Chapter 182: Chapter 182 - The Swords Secret
"So all I hear is that, The war that was never ending was happening with the Kingdoms being the douchebags they always were sent people to senseless deaths."
"And finally by a stroke of greed, A thief was able to find a Legendary Item that changed the war to its Samara's tides and when the three kingdoms got enough of them they tried to f*ck them from behind."
"And f*ck they did."
"Finally when the sword was broken, the war that was truly never ending started again and f*cked everything up. They could not even keep the sword to themselves and lost the damn thing."
"Like the circle of life as it always were."
"Does that tale still seem familiar to your story or do you want me to modify it a little bit?" Delmar asked as he laughed behind the speakers.
"You're completely right about the story." Adam said shocking William "But you are wrong about the sword."
"Even though broken from its previous brilliance the swords still has that great power in it."
"What? Making anyone master any sword to completion? That's a load of bullsh*t." Came Delmar's voice through the speakers.
"I don't think it's not." Adam with a secrecy to his tone.
"… Do you know something else about the sword, Adam?" William asked.
"And what if I did… Not like you're going to believe it." Adam said with a slight pout as he looked around.
"Damn right! We won't. Right Boss?" Delmar said and asked confirmation from William
But William ignored him as he asked Adam, "What is it that you know, Adam?"
Adam didn't say anything for a while until he saw that both William and Delmar from the speakers was quiet about it. So he finally turned around and said.
"Well you should first know that I come from a very prestigious clan that has been around for a few thousand years."
"The clan's main specialty is the Way of the Sword. It's from them that I had learned how to fight."
"But that's not the real thing. The real thing is the clan I was previously a member of was very adamant in becoming the best in the way of the sword."
"And most of its members including me were very good at it. But that couldn't be said about all of its members."
"Even some of its core members didn't have the great potential, outer clan members like me and a few others had."
"Even though the inner core members were stronger than the outer clan members they still didn't think that was enough. Even more so they were ashamed to find that some of the outer members had bigger potential than their core members."
"And for that reason for hundreds of years the clan had used many things to find a way to snuff out this problem."
William interrupted him before he could continue anymore.
"Wait a second - You said that they have been searching for a way for hundreds of years."
"Yes, I did. Why? What's the matter?" Adam asked as he didn't see the problem.
"It's that you don't seem like hundreds of years old so I don't understand what's happening over here."
Adam thought about what he said and he quickly raised his eyebrows in realization as he laughed a little.
"Haha… I'm sorry that's my fault. I didn't say it correctly."
"What I meant was the problem was already there hundreds of years ago, It didn't start with me or any of this generation."
Adam then continued his ramblings as he was before.
"So after some years there was nothing for them to find or they just couldn't find anything in their scope of research. But among the many years of research, one member had found something interesting."
"They find some things that indicated that the sword of broken heaven had some kind of power that could make anyone master the way of the sword completely and quite fast too."
"But they only had heard rumors of it and nothing more. So they sent out some people who searched for the sword."
"Even after many years they couldn't find anything so they stopped the search and researched for other ways."
"But after 60 or 80 years later, one inner core member had returned with some news. He said that he had found the sword and the rumors were true."
"The sword truly had amazing powers like that."
"They asked why he didn't bring it back with him then."
"But the man was scared as he remembered something as he said, 'The monster who has the sword now is not someone who could be stopped by a mortal'."
"The members didn't understand what he meant and asked again but the man only kept repeating the same thing over and over again."
"So the only thing the clan members could do were forget about the matter."
"But still they stored his words to secret scrolls hidden among the inner archives."
Adam breathed a huge sigh as he finished by saying, "This is why I believe that the sword truly does have powers that could make someone strong enough to do anything."
Delmar then said through the speakers, "So you believed some words written on ages old scrolls that were written by old and decrepit fools."
"Old and Decrepit fools they were but the things they wrote on those scrolls were not something to be disregarded so easily." Adam said in a serious tone.
"Okay, I understand what you meant." William said.
"But I have some questions about them, can you answer me?"
"Yeah, sure ask away kid."

"You said that this rumor of power was only circulating around the Sword of Broken Heaven, right?"
"Yes"
"Then what about the Sword of Broken Hell? Does that have similar power to Broken Heaven or something else?"
Adam scratched his head, "Truth be told, Not much is heard about that sword. After it was lost, it was found by someone else but strangely it was quickly lost again and never heard of again."
"Okay, This sword… Do you want this sword because of yourself or someone else?"
Adam shifted to his seat as he asked, "Why does it matter?"
Looking at his shifting figure was all the confirmation William needed as he understood that it's not for himself but for someone else.
But who? The one that is the reason for him to something very very foolish that got him kicked out?
"No… Nothing just a curiosity. Okay, final question."
"Are you an inner core member or an outer clan member?"
Adam sighed deeply as he knew this question was going to come one time or another. He waited for some time before he answered.
"Well you're going to know about this from you obnoxious subordinate who already knows about it. But before he says something completely unreasonable I'm going to be the one to say it."
"I am an outer clan member."
"And yes, my exile has something to do with that."
