Chapter 144
It had been more than 300 years since Anderson had become an official Adept!
Due to his timid and prudent disposition, he hardly participated in any conflicts or battles among the Adepts. As a result, the improvement of his overall strength was very slow. In the last 100 years, he had even fallen into the terrifying situation of having his overall strength nearly stopped from progressing.
But a new round of the family’s interplanar warfare was going to begin soon. According to statistics obtained from analyzing all of the previous data, the minimum fatality rate of First Grade Adepts in interplanar warfare was 50%. For an Adept like him, who was not good at fighting, the rate would be even higher. Therefore, in order to bring his overall strength up another grade before the warfare began, Anderson had no choice but to take the risk and cast his evil eyes on to the few Pseudo-Adepts under him.
Initially, the magical array had only been prepared for Acteon and Mary. But following the debut of Greem and Alice, Anderson felt like he might need to give the magical array some modifications so that he could include the latter two in his evil scheme.
By devouring three Pseudo-Adepts cultivated by the family in one go, even if Anderson succeeded in making an advancement, he would still receive punishment from the Sarubo Family. However, as he would be a Second Grade Adept at that point in time, so long as he was willing to give up more of his rights, presumably, the punishment coming from the family would not be that severe.
After all, anyone could easily tell the difference between the value of a Second Grade Adept and three Pseudo-Adepts.
Currently, the only high-end Adepts owned by Sarubo Family were one Third Grade and one Second Grade Adept. If they could have a new Second Grade Adept, the overall strength of the family would definitely take a huge leap. With that, their position and interests in the Zhentarim Association would also rise accordingly.
Under such circumstances, who would really take action against the wrongdoings of a Second Grade Adept?
