The Rise of the Black Plain

Hearing Minos' bold speech, that elder closed his eyes to calm down but agreed with him. 'It is indeed the behavior of imbeciles that can lead to death... Only a fool would lust after a married woman.'

To this elder and many other experienced people in this world, one desiring a married woman was not only an indication of an extreme lack of morality but also of dumbness.

If the woman in question abandoned her husband for this third person, what guarantee would there be that she would not do the same to him in the future? That is, what made such a person special compared to others?

There would always be people better than you in this world if you were not number one in trillions. So the probability that someone better than you would come along and take this woman away from you the way you already did was not small!

If she could abandon her first husband, the first lover would have to consider that she could do the same with him. But, at the same time, if he could desire a married woman, he had to assume that others would be too. In this case, he had to presume the worst, that this woman would make the same choice again as long as she had the opportunity.

A woman capable of exchanging her current husband for another man was weak. She certainly was someone who did not know how to choose, got married for the wrong reasons, or did not know how to deal with the weak moments in a relationship. In this case, she was necessarily dangerous, someone who would have a great chance of repeating such problematic behavior.

So who, besides a fool, would covet a married woman? Hell, that was like wishing to be betrayed and replaced!

And since this was not a peaceful world, the fate of a fool who followed this path was death!

Sooner or later, he would meet an opponent outside his boundaries who would finish him off!

In a way, Minos saved that disciple's life by teaching him not to get involved in other people's love affairs.

He had only questioned whether Minos was worthy of Ruth, but he had been 'beaten' and humiliated. What would happen if he had tried to seduce a married woman?

Well, that old man did not have to think about that since the traumatic way Garrick learned from Minos would never allow him to do such an absurd thing in the future.

Humiliation, rejection, etc., was the best way to learn. So, in a way, Minos deserved congratulations!

"Cough!"

"Your manners are harsh, but you're right. You taught that disciple an important lesson." The elder said after sighing. "But you should not speak to one of your elders with such disrespect! Where is your education?"

Minos looked at that figure and said. "I treat all those in my surroundings as they deserve. If someone points a finger at me, accusing me, I usually attack them back. Especially when they are hypocrites..."

"Tsk!"

The elder looked down at the ground, feeling that it was not easy to talk to this junior, as it usually was for him when dealing with juniors in his sect.

Minos looked like an old demon in a young man's body, acting as if he were equal or even superior to those in his surroundings. So for this figure, who Spiritual Emperors respected, it was somewhat annoying to deal with Oswald's grandson.

"Anyway, I am here on behalf of the Coleman family. So far, you have shown no interest in getting to know this house... What's the reason for that?" He asked.

He was a high-ranking elder of this family, someone who was concerned about the succession of power in this house due to the appearance of Minos.

He had supported Maisie in taking that position since she knew everything about them. But he had to admit that Minos was an impressive little monster.

As part of the committee in charge of preparing the leaders of this family, he could not help but approach this young man to introduce him to the history of his ancestors.

Minos heard that and replied. "That is not my priority. I enjoy learning about curiosities, but I have important business to do on behalf of the Black Plain."

"Curiosities?" That elder moved his head, finding it strange how Minos handled the subject.

Ruth then tried to interfere in this conversation. "Elder, my husband is just busy with other matters. But, eventually, he will have time to get to know House Coleman."

"So the Black Plain is more important than House Coleman?" He asked Minos.

"Of course. Is there any doubt about that?" Minos smiled, looking at his wives.

That elder of the Coleman family turned red upon hearing this, feeling incredibly offended.

Gloria then said. "Why are you so interested in making Minos accept these positions? He doesn't even know about your history. Plus, the sect and the Coleman family are different organizations. Isn't it better to give someone else one of these positions?"

Abby agreed with Gloria and said. "Maisie seems much more compatible with the leadership of this family. I understand that the sect master position is more compatible with my husband. Still, this other one wouldn't be of any great benefit to you."

That man looked at those two and questioned. "Are you saying it would be better for the Coleman family to stay with Maisie as the leader and the sect with Minos?"

Ruth nodded, understanding her harem sisters' plan. "The sect and this family don't have to have the same leader. If Minos accepts the position of sect master, it would already positively affect House Coleman. So you should focus on my master."

Minos' wives suggested this because it was a better way to subdivide these powers and for their husband's peace of mind.

They knew Minos would be very stressed if he had to deal with so many people pressuring him to take positions in this sect. So something they could do to help him was to take one of these 'weights' off his shoulders by showing these people that at least the Coleman family should not be after him.

And thinking about what they said, that elder could not help but imagine this situation. Historically, the Coleman family usually had the same leader as the sect, when a descendant of it reached that position, of course.

But the idea of those girls was not bad. It would keep the family from falling into the hands of someone who did not know them, but it would also benefit them with the leader 'being' one of them.

'Maisie is the best for this position...' He looked at Minos before sighing and saying. "You are lucky. Your wives help you escape responsibilities like few others!"

The three women smiled as that elder continued to look at Minos' face. "However, you still have to find some time to get to know your family. So will you accompany me now? Or would you prefer that I carry you there?"

Minos closed his eyes as he realized the purpose of this person. 'That's why he wanted to blame me for that fool's situation... To take me by force to that family.'
