Chapter 424 Make You Pay The Price
On bing the champion of the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games, Austin was greatly rewarded
with treasures including about 2, 500 servants. Through a scroll, he built a spiritual connection with his
ves. He could order them to do anything and they wouldply. They were to serve him
unconditionally. They were his and he could even take their lives if he wanted.
He ordered the servants to wait for him at the new residence that the emperor had gifted him as a
reward on his victory.
After him the others including Leo and Symon received their prizes. Their rewards were considerably
lesser than those awarded to Austin. What was more insulting for them was the fact that their treasures
were quite cheaper than the champion''s!
Even the number of servants they got was lesser than Austin''s. They felt disgraced and unappreciated.
Everyone present there noticed the difference but none dared to ask or question the decisions.
Leo simmered with rage. Gritting his teeth, he red at Austin. He desperately wanted to dash forward
and beat Austin up. However, he didn''t let his fury get the better of him as it would all be futile. Instead,
he cursed the champion in his heart.
''Damn it! I''m supposed to be the one getting the first position and taking all those rewards.
You took them away from me. I''ll tear you into a million pieces, Austin Lin!''
The emperor joyously announced, "Well, now that our contestants have got their prizes, I''m going to
talk about another reward—the quotas for entering the Mysterious Nether World."
Upon hearing this, all the people in the crowd turned their eyes towards the emperor and waited with a
fixed gaze.
The Mysterious Nether World was under the control of the royal family. For cultivators in Violet Orchid
Empire, it was a mysterious and sacred ce full of endless treasures and secrets.
"Due to time and space constraints, we have been facing some problem with the entrance to the
Mysterious Nether World. But even under these circumstance, the Mysterious Nether World is safe for
people to enter.
Some experts have been observing the entrance for over a year now and have confirmed that the
Mysterious Nether World will be ready to open in fifteen days.
Then a hundred people can be transported into the Mysterious Nether World without any problem.
Apart from the top fifty who have won in this Outstanding Talents Exchange Games, there are still fifty
quotas left.
So, the five biggest sects will get five quotas each.
And the remaining 25 quotas will belong to the cultivator of the royal family."
Silence filled the whole pce as the emperor made the announcement. With their keen gaze focused
on the emperor, all listened to his words intently. They didn''t want to miss a single word that was
uttered by him.
Upon hearing this news, the leaders of the five biggest sects couldn''t control the joy and happiness
which spread over their faces.
"That''s great!" all of them eximed.
Disciples from the five biggest sects had signed up for this tournament. Some had been able to
manage to get into the top fifty. But by adding five quotas now, each sect could have at least seven to
eight disciples who could enter the Mysterious Nether World.
All the leaders of the five biggest sects had no problem with the fact that there were twenty-five
members of the royal family who could enter the Mysterious Nether World. It was eptable. After all,
only royal members had been permitted to seek treasures in this ce in the past years.
But this time, the emperor was allowing other people to enter the Mysterious Nether World. It was a
precious gift and opportunity for all the five sects.
Those who had been able to make it into the top fifty in the games couldn''t hide the rapture on their
faces.
After he had finished making the announcement, the emperor dismissed the court.
Austin started heading towards the exit door of the throne room. He was followed by his servants who
carried all the other prizes. Dewey and Maria too were following him.
Suddenly, a loud voice called out for him from behind.
"Wait, Austin!"
Austin stopped moving.
"Yeah?"
He turned around and found Theon the leader of Sun Sect walking towards him with a slight smile on
his face. For some reason, Austin felt ufortable with his fake smile.
"Congrattions, Austin. You reached the first position and won!"
Theon said in a cordial tone.
"I''m ttered, sir. What can I do for you?"
Austin responded in a polite manner. He didn''t want to create a scene with Theon. He remembered
Theon''s actions of the past.
When Austin had been attacked by Dwayne, the Chief Elder of the ming Sun Valley and Abbott, the
leader of Blood Wolf Team, Theon had done nothing. He stood by and watched. Far froming to his
rescue, Austin remembered that his former sect leader didn''t even utter a word for him.
Since then, Austin had cut himself off his former sect leader.
"Austin, you joined our sect when you were a little kid. You spent years cultivating with us. You were a
capable disciple of our sect.
I have talked to the Elders and we think that you''re a talented cultivator. So we have unanimously
agreed to let youe back.
Austin, what do you..."
"No," Austin interrupted him before he could finish his words.
"Thanks but ever since I left the Sun Sect, I have never considereding back," he said firmly.
"But..." Theon hesitated as he stood motionless.
He hadn''t expected that Austin would turn down his offer so bluntly.
Both of them stood looking at each other. A few minutester, Theon heaved a sigh.
"Fine. I''ll not push you for this. We have done some bad things to you.
You have no feeling of belonging to our sect and I don''t me you for that.
I assure you that I''ll never bring it up again.
But there is one more thing," the sect leader went on.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Oh! Please go ahead."
Austin noticed the look on Theon''s face, and a sense of foreboding took over him.
"Hmmm... Well... Ahem... Ahem."
Theon pretended to cough.
"I need to tell you that Evan and Herbert had an ident."
Austin was shocked on hearing what he said. A ferocious, cold look appeared in his eyes, and his body
was filled with a strong urge to kill as fury took over his senses. Glowering at Theon with his blood-
thirsty eyes, he asked, "What? What did you say?
What happened to them?"
Austin always treated Evan and Herbert as his own brothers. When he heard that they were in trouble,
he was worried and furious.

All his life, Theon had nevere across any disciple who dared to show disrespect to him. No one
had the nerve to shout at him. He was always regarded as a respectable sect leader.
It upset him to stand and face Austin''s offensive behavior. Yet, Theon suppressed his anger.
"Take it easy, Austin. Hear me out.
A few men from the Blood Wolf Team took them. Now, Abbott has them," he replied calmly.
"Abbott Nangong!
That son of a bitch. If anything happens to Evan and Herbert, I swear I will kill all of his men," Austin
seethed in anger, clenching his teeth.
His eyes seemed to be on fire with anger and murderous will.
"Evan and Herbert are disciples of the Sun Sect and they lived at your ce. How did they get caught
by those guys from the Blood Wolf Team?
Or did you just watch others kidnap your disciples?"
Austin queried in a reproachful tone as he narrowed his eyes at Theon indignantly.
"How dare you, Austin? Who do you think you are? How could you talk to a Sect Leader like this?
You''re being disrespectful!"
an Elder of the Sun Sect who stood beside Theon chided Austin sternly.
Theon waved his hand to stop the Elder and continued speaking to Austin, "It''s okay. We should take
responsibility for this. I assure you, I have already sent a few disciples to negotiate with Abbott. We
asked him to release Evan and Herbert, or he will be regarded as an enemy by us," Theon''s words
slightly appeased Austin''s fury. ''Now, if that is what he has said and done, I have no reason to snap at
him. If I continue to do so, I''ll be regarded as an unreasonable person, '' Austin thought.
Austin was a sensible and smart person. If others were good to him, he would be good to them too. But
if others bullied or insulted him, he would get even with them.
"If Evan and Herbert get killed, Sun Sect will be responsible for their death indirectly.
If that happens, I''ll avenge them and bring you to justice!"
Austin said gravely, before he turned around and walked away.
"What a rude brat! How dare he threaten us that way? He has gone too far. We can''t let him go. We
must teach him a lesson!"
the Elder hollered with anger as he watched Austin leave.
The Sun Sect disciples standing behind them started to talk ill about Austin.
"Just let it go!"
Theon ordered with a wave of his hand.
Austin stormed out of the throne room, while Dewey and Maria trotted behind. They found it difficult to
keep up with him.
zing anger smoldered in Austin''s heart.
''Blood Wolf Team. Abbott. Just wait! I''ll make you pay for what you did to me and my friends!'' he vowed
to himself. He was filled with a desire to take revenge against all those who wronged him.
