70 True Purpose

Everyone was inside the restaurant with Alex's master, Vito Pushkin as they eat food and drank wine all together in a big table. Alex was still a little pissed at Vito's answer earlier so he didn't talk and just ate his food.

Aiden looked at the old man and tried to see through him but somehow the old man looked completely normal and if he didn't see him go against Hu Zhao earlier, he would've thought that he was an ordinary man.

Vito noticed Aiden's gaze and looked at him, "You must be Aiden, right? I heard from Ceaser about you and your weird divine ability. You could even sense my presence even before my stupid disciple. I must say that if I met you before I took that disciple of mine, I would've made of you the youngest Saint to ever exist. After all, I'm the best trainer ever".

Aiden's eyes flinched as he heard Vito calling Sunshine a weird divine ability and how he also proclaimed himself as the best trainer. Aiden didn't seem to enjoy talking to this old man but before he could say anything, Alex decided to talk and spoke to his master, "So what are you doing here?".

"Eh, didn't I tell you?? I heard from Ceaser that you're coming back so I decided to meet you here. isn't that enough reason for you?".

Alex hmphed and then said with some sarcasm, "Except that you won't do it. You're as lazy as F*** and you won't come even if you heard I died. So how about you spell it and tell us why you're here. Spare us your lies".

Vito: "I really can't understand why don't you try and speak with some respect to me. If it wasn't for me, you would've died in the streets and your talent would've never bloomed".

Alex smiled and then said with some mockery, "I'm sure that I will leave a peaceful and lazy life without being thrown into a problem each time I want to get stronger. Just spit it out and tell us the reason why you're here".

"Sigh...I won't argue with you anymore. Well, In the first place, I came here because Ceaser asked to meet him here instead of the capital. He talked about some sort of problem in the capital. I wanted also to see little Lorra since it's been a long time since I last saw her".

Lorra who heard that smiled and felt a little happy because she also considered Vito as her grandpa and he and Ceaser have been old friends since a long time ago. She looked at Alex and gave him a sly smile that meant, "I'm more important than you in his eyes".

Alex just rolled his eyes as he didn't care about fighting for his master so-called love and then said, "What a drag! What problem is the capital having?? The captain of my adventures team is there so if she gets into a problem, I might have some difficult times".

"Hmmm. I don't really know. It's been almost ten years since I last visited. What I know is that something changed right after Ceaser went to search for you little Lorra. Ceaser and I came to one conclusion which is that someone used you to make Ceaser go out of the capital to do something".

When Everyone heard that and especially Lorra, they understood that something bad might be happening in the capital right now. Lorra felt even more guilty because it was her that everything right now that is happening.

Saya who is beside her started comforting her as she didn't want Lorra to feel sad. Saya and Lorra became friends after staying together for two months. They could even be considered good friends since they shared some hobbies like shopping, love for sweet cakes, and even painting.

Aiden who saw that sighed and then looked at Vito and replied to him, "So someone wanted to get Ceaser out of the capital and kidnapped her? What do they wanna do in the capital? It must have to do with the marriage, right?"

Vito nodded and told them, "Of course it has to do with the marriage. the day Ceaser got out of the kingdom, The royal family announced the marriage. Something fishy is happening there and so Ceaser wanted me to come with him back there".

"... Wait you're coming with us?!!!!".

Alex raised from his seat and pointed at Vito. Vito continued to smile as he looked at everyone while eating his food. He didn't bother to answer and was too lazy to argue. Aiden, on the other hand, asked the most important question in his mind, "geezer, I don't care about the marriage and I'm sure old man Ceaser knows about that too. I only have one question, is the underworld, the black market alliance involved??".

Vito suddenly stopped eating and then put his spoon as he raised his head and showed a confident smile and said one word, "Definitely".

Aiden also smiled and then answered, " Then what are we waiting for? Let's finish our food and go to the capital. I wanna find that lizard and destroy him".

"I hope that the intel I gave you stays confidential since I don't wanna my sister to get hurt".

Salzar Admonius Icidia, Duke of Icidia city looked at both Ceaser and Edvard who're preparing to go back to the ship because they got what they wanted. Ceaser nodded and replied to Admonius while shaking hands with him.

"Please rest assured that no one will know that you told me this. I will also make sure to protect your sister and niece as we agreed. Nothing will happen to them during this period before marriage".

Admonius nodded and thanked him. He then said goodbye to both of them as they left the castle. Edvard and Ceaser didn't want to be seen by anybody so they didn't go through the main entrance and left discreetly.

*Woosh Woosh*

Edvard and Ceaser who were moving very fast didn't have a good expression as they thought about what Admonius told them. Edvard looked at Ceaser and told him, "Ceaser, we both know that he's the one behind this. Only he would make something like that. In fact, I already knew that he might have some hand in it even back at the flying island".

Ceaser: "So you noticed it too? Well, there aren't many people who can make those kinds of weapons. I must say that he's really a brilliant mind among all the Mages".

Edvard said with a serious voice, "It's The dark hand league".

It was some time now since Aiden and the others left the restaurant and so they went back towards the airships. they were walking through the streets and heading to the harbor but suddenly, Aiden, Hun Zhao, and Vito sensed something.

They and raised their heads towards the sky as they noticed a bunch of people standing far away in the sky and looking directly towards them.

Aiden saw six people wearing red cloaks and hiding their faces. Aiden also noticed that they didn't move at all but just stood there like they were waiting for something to happen.

"Seems like we Have some guests. So, who does want to go deal with them? ".

Hu Zhao continued to look in their direction while asking Aiden and Vito who seemed to be the only ones who noticed their presence. Aiden didn't answer and used some mana as he immediately activated Sunshine and moved very fast towards them.

*Swoosh*

Everyone then looked as Aiden became bigger and his muscles started bulging while his black suit started tearing because of his size growing suddenly.

Lorra who saw that and didn't know what is happening sighed as she looked at him,

"Good thing we bought many sets of clothes for him otherwise, he would be standing naked each time after using his power".

*Woosh*

Saya blushed as she thought about that while Hu Zhao went after Aiden as he wanted to see the strength of these people. Vito who knew what is happening didn't care and told them, " Let's go and follow those two. I'm curious a little about how Aiden's divine ability works. Seems like we got the perfect chance".

Dian Long understood what is happening when he saw Aiden transforming so he asked Vito, "Are the enemies strong?".

Vito just shrugged his shoulders and answered him, "Well, for you who are here, yes, they might be a challenge. For Aiden and the tiger who went away, then its nothing threatening".

Aiden didn't care about his clothes as he continued to jump above the buildings on the streets to reach the place where the six people are standing.

*Woosh*

After some a second, Aiden was standing in front of the six people while smiling and said to them, "It's been months since I last fought that lizard and I'm right now searching for a little challenge. Perhaps you can be a good little warm-up".
