Chapter 50 - 50: Forebearer's Cards Part 2
"Blackwood... truly formidable," he muttered in fear.
Initially, despite Blackwood's attempts over the years to trade with the Rodriguez family, Mark had never taken them seriously. But today's siege revealed Blackwood's terrifying strength. Having risen to power in just two or three decades, they now rivaled great families that had taken centuries to establish, even standing up to two families alone.
This was why, after Olivia gave him three choices, he chose to side with Blackwood. Even if Blackwood lost today, their members could escape, and no one could stop them. What about the next few decades, or even a century later?
"Master, if we help Blackwood, might they eventually absorb us?" a clan elder asked Mark, his expression grave.
Mark shook his head. "In just a short time, Blackwood has become this powerful. Previously, Garcia and Gonzalez blocked their progress, suppressing their development. Now that they can access resources, they will reach new heights. As long as we keep to ourselves from now on, we'll be in the shade of a great tree."
[Congratulations, you've led your clan and its forces to break through the economic blockade of Forest Town, defeating two major families. Your clanspeople are cheering for you!]
[You've earned a Spiritual Tribute +5000!]
"We won!"
Ethan finally stopped controlling the war AI Bionic Robot and joyfully waved his fist,
He had prepared for the worst and hoped for the best in this battle.
If he had lost, he wouldn't have just sat around waiting for doom; instead, he planned to take all members of Blackwood and retreat, breaking down and then rebuilding, abandoning the years of accumulation at Gratitude Village. Once the members developed successfully elsewhere, they would return for revenge.
And the best plan involved the Rodriguez family.
That was the key to this battle!
He still remembered the day Olivia went to the Rodriguez family on his orders, offering them three choices, essentially giving the Rodriguez family a way out!
"This was a total blast!"
Ethan couldn't hide his joy.
As the battle ended, the cleanup of the battlefield began.
In the event tab, a delightful list appeared.
[You've obtained loot, a basic psychic ability rapid-fire spear.]
[You've obtained a "Pill Scripture" book.]
[You've obtained a "Spear Formation Diagram" book.]
[...]
Who says war isn't the simplest way to accumulate wealth?
As Blackwood
Watching this message, Ethan almost jumped on the spot.
This Grade 9 medicine was simply a miracle drug for beginners, capable of changing a person's talents.
Even in the real world, it could fetch a sky-high price!
It also meant that the talents of Blackwood members would be further enhanced. The biggest beneficiary would be Nathan, whose Golden Psychic Constitution had reached 68 points after the Emerging Ability period. With a bit of luck, he could break through 70!
"Forebearer, we can now obtain a lot of resources from Forest Town, and I'm ready to develop two new medicines!"
After bowing to the cards, Amelia began to work on her new medicines.
Ethan took a quick look.
Qingfeng Powder, a medicine that helps clear the mind during cultivation, essentially enhancing one's understanding!
Heiyu Continuation Paste, a powerful healing medicine, capable of treating internal and external injuries, and even capable of reattaching limbs if they were severed no more than 30 seconds ago.
"Amelia, you really are my treasure!"
Ethan's smile almost reached his ears.
As long as Amelia increased her efforts in refining, once Blackwood grew stronger and she taught more disciples, Ethan could even start a real-world pharmaceutical company.
Making a fortune!
