The Ultimate Pranker System

Chapter 21: Seeds of Revolution

The Yin estate was a powder keg, and Adam was the flame. Every move he made sent ripples through the family's fragile foundation, turning whispers into shouts and tension into full-blown chaos.

In the aftermath of the granary explosion, the estate's guards patrolled restlessly, their faces etched with suspicion. Yin Hua and Yin Wei remained locked in a cold war, each suspecting the other of sabotage. Adam moved through the chaos like a shadow, his presence unnoticed but his influence undeniable.

Adam's grin widened as he read the notification. The treasury was the lifeblood of the Yin family's power—a strike there would cripple them.

Under the cover of night, Adam and his allies approached the treasury. Using the Whispering Shadows Technique, they bypassed the guards, their footsteps silent against the cobblestones.

The treasury doors were reinforced with a complex array of seals and locks, but Adam was prepared. He activated the Phantom Quill, its enchanted tip glowing faintly as he sketched an override pattern onto the seals.

The seconds ticked by like hours, the distant sound of guards' footsteps sending adrenaline coursing through Adam's veins. Finally, the seals faded, and the doors creaked open.

Inside, the treasury glittered with wealth—gold, jewels, and cultivation artifacts piled high. Adam's eyes locked onto the centerpiece: a shimmering jade disk etched with intricate runes.

Adam grabbed the seal, a sense of triumph surging through him as he turned to his allies. "Take only what we need," he instructed. "Leave just enough to make it hurt."

As they retreated, Adam set a small alchemical charge near the treasury's foundation. The resulting explosion echoed through the estate, drawing guards and noble family members alike to the scene.

The next morning, the Yin estate was in an uproar. Servants whispered of betrayal, guards questioned their loyalties, and the noble siblings pointed fingers at one another.

Adam held the artifact in his hand, its surface warm and pulsing with energy. The Yin family's downfall was no longer a matter of "if," but "when."
