Chapter 181: Chapter 181 - A Swords Tale
"Fortunately for us, we already got one so we don't need to worry about anything… except for the huge amount of money you're about to spend."
Hearing that William first had a delightful expression before it quickly turned sour.
"Don't remind me of that… I shudder to think about the future."
Delmar on the car's speaker didn't stop as he continued.
"Boss, are you sure you want to spend so much on a hunk of metal like that?"
Adam quickly became angry as he said.
"HEY! Don't insult the Sword of Broken Heaven like that! You don't know the worth of it."
"OH! Isn't this the prodigal idiot who had to escape from the clan himself for a very very stupid thing."
Hearing those words made Adam feel internally hurt as they were true.
"And for your information, I know the worth of that piece of metal."
"Okay, so much do you think it is?" Adam asked in a mocking tone.

"25 Billion Dollars but if someone knows its value then it might go more than 40 Billion Dollars."
Hearing the increasing numbers made William clench his heart in mock pain as he thought about the dreadful future of his bank account.
Adam snickered at him, "As I thought you can only think about its monetary value and not of its real worth.
And for YOUR information, the price of the sword can go a heck of a lot higher than what you said."
As they were rebuking about that they didn't see William breathing heavily with a painful expression on himself in the background.
"Well then Mr. Prodigy, please enlighten me about it." Delmar said through the speakers.
Adam straightened himself as he said, "Well I'm going to tell you because you should know the true value of the Sword of Broken Heaven."
"So it was the Year 2485 and the war was at its midpoint where the kingdoms didn't really have any true victories and were just hurting one another without any change."
"The Kingdoms were desperately looking for some kind of machine or someone who had the power to change the tide of the war to their advantage."
"So they sent many of their people to the Unknown Realm in search of any special thing that could help them.
Many people were dispatched there and more than 98% of them came back either in body bags or with grave injuries."
"And the last of them had returned with some special weapons and skill scrolls but not great enough to turn the tide of the war for anyone."
"But among the thousands that had gone to the forbidden realm for hope, One came back with something that changed the course of history."
"It was a thief employed by the Samara Kingdom, But the thief he was, didn't listen to them and searched for treasures that would make him rich."
"Incidentally he stumbles upon something that would change his life forever."
"He found a trove of treasures that would make even the richest of kings envy with greed. But it wasn't the gold that had made him curious but what was hidden under it."
"A Sword made of frighteningly great length that was said to be more than 10 feet tall. But very easy to hold and maneuver."
"As the thief took it in hand he was enshrouded by knowledge of the sword not known to any."
"It turned out that the sword was the sword of a retainer.
A retainer of the True Ancestor."
"Someone who had been a glorious commander back in the 100 year war and died in that cave while hoarding a lot of gold."
"The thief had gotten great knowledge of the sword but didn't have any strength in his body so he took the sword and trained with it for over a year before returning to Samara."
"The once unknown thief immediately entered the war and gained a name for himself. The sword held great strength that made any and all adversaries to bow down to it."
"The people of Samara then asked him what was the sword, who's was it?"
"The thief told them the truth and said the name of the sword was The Sword of Heaven and Hell."
William's brows went up as he didn't understand the name. Adam looked at that and said, "I know the name is completely different but there's more to the story."
Adam then continued the tale, "The Current King of the Samara Kingdom at that time became very pleased at the thief and changed his status to that of a Class A Subject but was treated like Royalty."
"The thief in happiness used the sword in favor of the king and the kingdom and brought many victories to them."
"Something which the other kingdoms didn't like one bit. So they after long discussions held secret meetings for the destruction of the sword."
"They slowly gathered details about the sword and how to destroy it. Finally when they had gotten enough knowledge the three kingdoms decided to launch a decisive hit on the thief."
"Two of the kingdoms would act as distraction while the other kingdom had something up its sleeve that they knew would work on the sword."
"And as they had successfully distracted the thief and the one who was waiting in the shadows used their secret weapon on the sword."
"The thing they used was a forbidden item that was supposed to destroy anything it touches. And it had its effect as well."
"The unbreakable sword of great might broke in two and the thief was stumped in his place."
"Taking the advantage of being shocked, a soldier from the Evernight Kingdom attacked from the back, killing the thief instantly."
"Losing their sword and the thief made the Samara Kingdom waver very much and not wanting to make their losses any more they quickly stepped out of the war."
"But the three kingdoms that had successfully executed their plan were now in contemplation. There were two halves of the sword which was still capable of delivering great might and there were three."
"So the war quickly began among them as the sword got divided among two kingdoms and they called their greatest blacksmith to remake the sword."
"With great effort they were able to remake and one part of the Sword was called The Sword of Broken Heaven and the other was called The Sword of Broken Hell."
"But over the years both kingdoms lost the sword and it slowly got forgotten in time."
"Until recently when one of the frontier teams were able to recover the Sword of Broken Heaven and now it's being sold at the auction house."
"The reason why the sword is still so popular is because even if it was half of what it could do, it still had a secret. A secret which was only known to the people who are truly trying to master the path of the sword."
"What secret?" William asked as it was the first time he had heard of something like this.
"Well I don't know if it is false or a rumor made up by revolving times but…"
"The swords are supposed to have some kind of power to them that could make anyone able to truly master the path of the sword to its highest."
