Location- Sky Blossom City, Whiteburn Manor, Whiteburn Family Conference hall

“Haven’t I answered you already? I chose you for your decisiveness and willingness to do anything for the family. And you’re the only one who can understand my new vision for the family. The other candidates have a different vision for the family and its development.

My vision also used to align with their vision. Until recently everything changed when I learned that my only son had the blood of a demigod. Do you know what it means? Not just to Pax but to me, you and the family?” Jack certainly had a new vision for the Whiteburn family and his recent action was just a step towards that vision.

“I don’t want to rain on your vision but you do know that having demigod blood does not guarantee that one can become a demigod…” Luke knew why Jack was so excited, but he thought Jack’s thoughts were too far-fetched. If just having a demigod bloodline helped one become a demigod. With the number of children each demigod gives birth to and the descendants these children give birth to. There would be a demigod on every street.

“You are right, having demigod blood does not guarantee that one can become a demigod but having a demigod’s broken rune does guarantee that one can become a demigod.” Jack was clear about his plans and had already deployed a pawn named Paul to achieve it.

“Are you mad? Let’s say even if Paul is successfully able to steal demigod Godson’s broken rune, it is not absolute that it will accept Pax as its new master. There is something called bloodline purity, without enough of it, there’s no way in hell demigod Godson’s broken rune will acknowledge Pax.

Let’s assume a miracle happens and demigod Godson’s broken rune accepts Pax as its new master but who is to say that it will not revive demigod Godson in Pax’s body. This plan is filled with so many variables that if we get caught doing what you are planning it will lead to the destruction of our whole Whiteburn family.” It did not take a genius to figure out the obvious holes in Jack’s plan and it made Luke cautious.

“Do not worry, I know what I am doing and the problems you just listed will not happen, Pax is my child and I will never risk his life. Trust me, if everything goes according to plan. The Whiteburn family will have a seat among the world leaders.” Jack was not someone who would risk his son’s life. He knew something that Luke did not know about the interesting demigod’s broken rune.

The broken rune of a demigod does indeed need high demigod bloodline purity to accept a new master and this criterion is mostly satisfied by direct descendants of the said demigod. Pax is not a direct descendant but still, Jack was sure that the broken rune of a demigod will accept him as its new master because Pax had received a bestowal from the demigod Godson. Which is equal to getting the seal of approval from the demigod godson. With the blood of the demigod and his bestowal, Pax will easily be able to subdue the broken demigod rune.

As for why Jack was sure that demigod Godson will not try to revive in Pax because demigod worshippers from the empire have tried to revive demigod Godson a few times in the past and failed as he does not want to be revived. And the demigod Godson’s will instead of getting revived helped the descendants that were accepted by his broken runes to ascend to demi-godhood. This way Demigod Godson continued to help humanity even after his fall.

These two were the reasons why Jack was quite sure that Pax would become a demigod without a hitch as long as Paul can steal the demigod Godson’s broken rune. This Luke did not need to know as knowing too much sometimes does not end well for either of the parties involved.

“If we are caught we face definite annihilation but if we succeed we will be able to climb to the top with a single leap. Hahaha! My sight was limited to a third-tier city while you eye a seat among the world leaders. Jack you crazy son of a gun, I was never so proud of you as my rival till today. Count me in, I want to see if the world appears the same from the top.” Luke did not trust that Jack had everything under control but he saw the vision Jack had for the family and it was grander than he could ever dream of.

What’s important is that if they pushed hard enough this grand dream was possible. This one possibility was enough for Luke to put everything he ever cared for on the line. Luke would always ask himself who or what he was willing to die for? And the answer was always the same, family and its prosperity. But he always felt that this death was not worthy of him. But today Jack presented him with a vision that was worthy of his death, not just him but the entire family. Why were they all working so hard together? They were working so hard for the prosperity of the family. And what Jack’s vision represented was the ultimate prosperity of the family.

“I knew you were the only one crazy enough in the family to see my vision. I was right to bet on you.” Jack laughed out loud finding a common objective in his lifelong rival.

“You were right to bet on me. If it was any other family member they would have called you maniac and blew the whistle on you and your car vision. Those old fogies are comfortable where they are right now. They would never see eye to eye with our vision. Just take the great elders as an example. Those old fools suppressed their realm and slept in the ancestral temple. To protect the family in Sky blossom city. Instead of expanding the family to a second-tier city.” Having gotten answers to his questions, Luke did not just see eye to eye in Jack’s vision but he considered it as his new vision for the family.
