Rowan chose to pick his next words carefully,
"So you are implying that my actions, whatever they may be, led to the Minerva Ancestor return, and it is the reason the two Major Families are hunting me so that means the entire Empire is hunting me because I'm a so-called Breaker?"
Fury stood behind him and Rowan did not turn to look at him, at their level they had virtually omnipresence around themselves and this was a psychological tactic employed by Fury to check his nerves, Rowan could hear the smile in his voice as he was speaking,
"Yet is your bounty not enough proof? There was a leak somewhere about your status as a rogue Breaker of the Kuranes, someone like you under no direct supervision is dangerous and also an asset to any family because a Breaker can be a source of fortune to a family, but in the right hands or the wrong hands, it can be a source of misfortune."
Rowan's tone became solemn, "The whole purpose of the bounty was to capture me, so I can be used against my family by the others, while the Kuranes family wants to capture me, so I can't be used against them."
Fury shrugged, "The time for the next selection for the ruling Family of Trion is to be held ten years from now, and a Breaker like you can be the best thing that happens to my family, or it could be the worst thing if anyone else captures you, although luckily for us, only the Tiberius Family knows your status as a Breaker, but that will not last for long, after all the Minerva Family Ancestor is awakening and with him present, there are no more secrets"
"So you are here to bring me back to the family."
"Your actions on this tiny planet are worthy of a Breaker, but I think you don't even know your true purpose, and I will show you."
"Recall that I told you it should be impossible for someone of our bloodline to strike me because I'm the culmination of all the variant factor of our bloodline, but since you are able to strike me, it means you are no longer of our bloodline and the title of Breaker of the Kuranes Family can no longer be attributed to you."
"That is an arrogant statement, isn't it? Just because I could hit you makes you think I am no longer of Kuranes blood, my conclusion to this matter is that you are weaker than you think!"
Fury smiled, "I am not wrong, but I am not here to argue semantics with you, or to fight you really. When I knew what you were, I came here with another purpose. I am here to make a deal with you."
