Clark Family Estate…
On the way to his room, Tony saw the buzzling crowd outside his estate through the glass walls. The commotion had already started for tonight's birthday party. All the elders were busy receiving guests.
Thankfully, there was not a single elder to witness the current state of Tony. Otherwise, they would have been quite surprised by his achievement.
Thinking about what he was going to face at tonight's party, Tony reached his room. Mary already stood there with her head bowed.
"Young Master, everything is ready," she said politely, with a hint of shock in her tone, because she could not bear the bad smell coming from Tony. But she clearly knew what manners she must display now to keep her job.
Instead of the bad smell, she was thinking about what the young master Tony might have done to be covered in this kind of black impurities. For a second, she thought Tony might have cultivated and improved his body refinement stage... but in the next second, she shook her head. Because in all these 18 years, she had never seen Tony covered in this kind of impurities even once.
"Young Master…" Mary called in a low tone.
Tony paused before he closed the room door.
Mary slightly lifted her head and said, "The advanced fighter jet which you ordered for your brother's party has arrived at the family runway. I already placed the keycard on your bed. Is there anything I should prepare for tonight's party?" She asked in a meek tone as her eyes barely met Tony's straight gaze.
"There is no need for any preparations. Also, place the jet in my personal garage. Tonight, I am not gifting that to my brother. I have a better choice. You go and get ready for the party. Don't forget that you are my personal servant. You must look good. Understand?" Tony said before closing the door.
Mary stood there in shock. She never expected to hear this type of command from Tony, because he never cared for his servants. For the first time in these 18 years, Tony said to her, "Go and get ready for a party." Also, there was no regular irritation or authority in his tone.
Usually, before every party, Tony asks her to gather intelligence about possible crimes he already did and which he might encounter inside the party. Because it is a common ritual for the Clark family to have a discussion of the future in every family gathering.
While the shower water was running over his head, Tony opened the system interface.

*********************************
"What?!" Tony's eyes went wide in shock. "Defeated…?" A faint frown formed.
Just minutes ago, he had merely toyed with a few servants under his third uncle, punishing them by asserting control, nothing more.
There was no real fight, and yet… the system had recorded it as a defeat. Tony's eyes narrowed slowly.
"So even this counts…" His lips curved faintly, a hint of realization settling in.
The system didn't care about fairness. As long as someone was suppressed, dominated, or broken under his will… it counted.
"Interesting…" A quiet chuckle escaped him.
If things work like this, he can earn system points like eating cake. As the Clark family's young master, who can question his authority inside his family?
Even though he felt reluctant, Tony decided to use a few points to get a good gift for his brother. In this world, he only cares for his brother. Otherwise, Tony wouldn't even spare a single point for anyone without any use for him.
He went through all the rewards which he could buy with his remaining 43 points.
"What could my brother need right now?" Tony put on a thoughtful face.
He was also very cautious not to pick a gift which was out of his capability… because there would be other family heads attending this party. He must not alert any old foxes.
"As far as I know, my brother already reached the peak of the grand master rank and is ready to take the blessing of the world tree. No amount of cultivation pills would be helpful to him at this current stage."
Reaching the grand master stage is nothing but a roadblock for all the martial people in this world, because no amount of hard work or resources can guarantee the breakthrough.
One must get the blessing of the world tree, which is in the Pacific Ocean floor. This is also the reason why only some families can control the people on the martial path.
After deep thought, Tony finally decided to give a useful item to his brother rather than a cultivation technique which might reveal his secrets. His eyes finally landed on the utility items like a storage ring.
Usually, all the martial people use bamboo bags, which are available from the Octopus organization, but jade storage rings are very much confined to the top people.
Even inside the Clark family, only the ancestors, senior elders, his father, and his third uncle have a jade ring. He himself didn't have one. That's why he decided to gift a good jade ring to his brother.
[System: Show me Storage Rings...]
Tony himself went into shock as he read the description of several storage rings in lines.
They were very much advanced for this world.
He saw one Pegasus Jade Ring which costs 1,000 fate points. There is an entire world inside that ring, but Tony could only breathe in disappointment... because if he really had a thousand points, he could have purchased a useful treasure which could directly push him to higher martial stages like a cakewalk.
Tony's eyes finally set on the Moonstone Ring, which looked very normal but had several useful functions.
"This would be perfect for my Brother..."
