atmosphere was tense as the Family Head, Lord Grage, sat behind his imposing mahogany desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp eyes bore into the representative standing before him, who had just returned from the Federation Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of the family’s future seemed to hang in the balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did the Federation Head inspect those resources?” Lord Grage’s voice was low, but it carried an edge that made the representative flinch slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representative, eager to please and hoping to deliver good news, shook his head with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation Head simply handed the storage rings over to that brat without even inspecting them.” A sly smile curled at the corners of Lord Grage’s lips, but his eyes remained calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what of the boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think he’ll notice anything unusual?” The representative hesitated, unsure of how to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, Head, do you think that kid would discover anything?” Lord Grage let out a dismissive snort, his expression turning cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few pills were slightly tampered with-nothing that would be immediately noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t meant for enhancing physical strength, as they appear to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they’re designed to affect the mind.” His voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper as he continued, “Those particular resources require precise guidance when consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that boy consumes them without the proper assistance, he’s bound to face severe backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind could be affected in ways he won’t expect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a subtle move, but one that could cause significant harm if everything goes according to plan.” The representative’s eyes widened with a mix of awe and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Grage was known for his cunning, and this scheme only solidified his reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a genius, Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That boy won’t know what hit him.” Lord Grage leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s hope so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The less they suspect, the better for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation might have its eyes on me, but they won’t see this coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when that boy falls, we’ll be ready to move.” The representative nodded eagerly, the gravity of the situation settling in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Grage’s plan was risky, but if it succeeded, it could cripple their enemies from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he left the room, the weight of the Family Head’s words lingered in the air, a chilling reminder of the ruthless games played in the shadows of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha…” Lord Grage’s laughter echoed through the dimly lit room, a sinister sound that sent chills down the spine of anyone who might have heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of his mouth curled into a wicked grin, the satisfaction of his plot seeping into every fiber of his being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Lord Grage hadn’t intended to resort to such measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He preferred to maintain a façade of civility, avoiding unnecessary conflicts with the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the compensation demanded for Zack Lockwood had hit him hard-too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those resources, painstakingly gathered over the years, represented a significant portion of the family’s wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were rare, valuable, and not easily replaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss was a bitter pill to swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he reflected on the situation, his expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of seeing Zack grow stronger, fueled by the resources his family had sacrificed, was intolerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the tampering wouldn’t kill the boy outright, it was a subtle, insidious attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Injuries from the tampered pills could undermine Zack’s foundation, slowing his progress or worse-crippling his future potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the beauty of it all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be no way to trace it back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Federation Head hadn’t bothered to inspect the storage rings before handing them over, there would be no evidence, no proof of his involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Zack suspected something, the damage would already be done, and there would be nothing he could do about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Grage’s confidence in his scheme grew with each passing moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest as he savored the thought of Zack struggling, his path to power disrupted by unseen forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy might never know what hit him, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it would be too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He won’t die,” Lord Grage mused, his voice dripping with malice, “but he’ll suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that suffering will be enough to make all of this worth it.” In his mind, the plan was flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation Head’s negligence would shield him from suspicion, and Zack’s misfortune would be seen as nothing more than an unfortunate accident-one of many that could befall a young warrior on the rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a scheme born of desperation and greed, but one that might just tip the scales back in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied with his plotting, Lord Grage allowed himself a final chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, this will work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it does, I’ll have my revenge without even lifting a finger.” With that, he leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with malevolent glee, ready to watch as his enemies unknowingly fell into the trap he had so carefully laid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representative stood frozen, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched the Grage Family Head’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sinister laughter that filled the room sent a shiver down his spine, and he could feel the cold sweat beginning to bead on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known Lord Grage to be a shrewd and calculating man, but this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the realization of what had just transpired sank in, the representative’s unease grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected the Family Head to seize this opportunity to inflict further damage, especially not in such a subtle and devious manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The compensation had already been a heavy blow, but now it was clear that Lord Grage intended to extract a different kind of payment-one that would hurt even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representative swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Grage was not just making the best of a bad situation; he was weaponizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Federation Head’s apparent negligence in inspecting the storage rings, Lord Grage had found a way to strike at Zack without fear of reprisal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was perfect, and no one would dare to question the Family Head’s actions-not now, when tensions were high and loyalties were tested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me
