9 Escape 4

In the break room of de Laval family

"dad something happened" a hurried voice startled people in the room as the door opened.

"Zoel? What is it?" Asked Leonie as he saw that his son did not have the usual cold expression.

"It's Victor, I was walking near their break room when I overheard."

As Zoel told what he saw, Leonie's face also turned serious.

"For that guy to leave in such a hurry something major must have happened." Said Leonie while frowning even more.

"bang…"

"we can't just let him go, we waited so long for revenge, because of him we lost our baby girl, I will rip that guy with my bare hands I won't wait anymore." Said a beautiful woman with red hair and red eyes as she heavily slammed her hand on the table while emitting a deep killing intent.

"Calm down Amalia we won't have to wait anymore, we will follow that bastard." Said Leonie as he hugged beautiful woman in his arms his golden eyes were also shining with a deep, cold killing intent.

"Lapis prepare people we will follow Victor back and finish this once and for all, also inform father and our people once they are all ready, we are going to attack Ammate family."

"Yes master." Lapis bowed down and exited the room to make preparations.

Finally, de Laval family is going to take revenge on the Ammate family.

In three days, de Laval family was all ready and followed after Victor, by this time all the other families knew that tension reached its peak and war was starting so, no one cared about the competition anymore.

In the next few days, Victor finally went back to the lab and the situation was worse than he expected. He did not care much that Morana took a beast egg but he did not know what to do about the cell 7.

After knowing her for so many years, Victor understood that he cared about Morana a lot and this accident was going to make her a target, even if he tried to keep all of this a secret he knew he could not protect her for too long.

As Victor looked at loose chains in cell 7 his brows frowned more and more. After he went out of the room man in black kneeled in front of him.

"What is it?"

"Master de Laval family is here."

Hearing this Victor frowned even more but in a few seconds his brows loosened.

"Let them in I will talk to them in private."

"so, you are not hiding?" Said Leonie as he saw Victor walking into the hall calmly.

"I don't know why all of you are here?" Victor spoke calmly not showing any of the earlier uneasiness.

"Stop pretending you know very well why we are here, it's time to pay for what you did." Shouted Amalia angrily as she let out a killing intent.

"I don't know what MRS. de Laval is talking about but right now we have more urgent matters."

"I don't know what you are scheming this time but don't even dream about leaving here alive." Said Amalia mockingly. No matter what, today she was going to take revenge for her baby daughter.

"Are you sure you want to keep wasting time or get to the business." Said Victor coldly as he pulled out a jade stone.

Seeing the stone Leonie immediately stiffened not believing his eyes.

"You must recognize this stone right, so if you are done with this nonsense lets go to a private room and talk." Victor was confident Leonie would recognize the jade and did not bother to talk anymore.

Other people from the de Laval family were puzzled and did not understand what was going on but seeing their master's reaction they knew it was going to get complicated, then Leonie spoke again.

"Lapis you stay here with everyone, father you guys come with me."

Everyone was even more puzzled by this sudden change in their master.

In the secret room in the lab

Leonie, Amalia, Roman and even Zoel were sitting while facing Victor on the opposite side all of them were silent when Roman finally spoke.

"Leonie are you going to explain?" Old master of de Laval family was a little annoyed, he came here and was planning to get revenge for his baby granddaughter but here they were sitting with a person that caused all of this.

Amalia and Zoel could not understand as well but they were restraining their anger as they knew something must have happened to make Leonie react like this.

Leonie was quiet for a few seconds before he finally spoke. "That jade is the life stone I made for the baby before we separated in the forest." His words caused a shock to all of them but they did not have time to digest the news as Victor spoke as well.

"After you fell in the valley you dropped the stone, I found her and took her here." Victor's words shocked them but they all had a little hope in their eyes. 'Their baby girl was alive.'

"Where is she?" Amalia talked with a trembling voice.

Victor looked at her and after closing his eyes he said "I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know. Where did you take my daughter?" Amalia shouted with anger.

"I mean what I said, she was here until a few days ago why do you think I suddenly came back?" Victor answered with a little annoyance.

After hearing Victor's words their hopeful eyes dimmed a little.

"What happened?" Finally, Leonie spoke again.

"Things are very complicated that's why I am willing to tell you that she is alive, if her life was not in danger, I would not tell you anything." Victor admitted. His words angered them at first but they calmed down quickly and concentrated on what was important.

"What do you mean her life is in danger?" Asked Zoel. He has not spoken this whole time and was sitting quietly but his eyes also shone with a hope.

"Before she disappeared from the lab a few days ago she took 2 things first was and unknown beast egg we found in an old tomb."

"Is there some kind of problem with the egg?" Asked Roman.

"We don't know anything about egg but it's not the reason why her life is in danger it's because of the second thing she took." Said Victor with a tired face.

"What's the second thing?"

"Second thing she took was the thing divine realm entrusted our family."

"What?" Roman barely managed to speak his face was in disbelief as he finally understood the severity of the situation.

Many years ago, people from the divine realm came down in the upper realm and entrusted each of the 12 families something to keep and safeguard. Even families themselves did not know what they were entrusted with, but they knew that even people from the divine realm were scared of these things. This was a hidden secret of the 12 great families and only very few knew about it.

"Do you know what was it that she took?" Asked Leonie with a serious face.

"I am not too sure but I know that what we were guarding was who and not what, once my grandfather said it was a man but I don't know. When I opened the room only chains were there so I am not sure what she freed, but if even divine realm was afraid of these things and she is with one of them her life is in danger." Said Victor with a serious face.

Everyone was quiet for a few minutes, they did not know what to say then, Victor spoke again.

"I'm not sure why, but she went for only two things as if she knew exactly what she was taking."

"You mean to say that whatever it was that she freed she did it intentional as well as that egg?" Asked Amalia.

Victor nodded.

"Since we have her life stone did you try to track her down?" Said Zoel.

"First thing, but we were only able to find out that she is in the lower realm, she is very talented and skilled so if she hid her traces, we won't find her using witchcraft."

Hearing Victor's words, they had complicated feelings. They were happy to know their daughter was talented yet bitter that they knew nothing about her, they were also sad and worried for her life.

"I have already started making preparations and will be going to the lower realm in two days. I raised her and she is important to me so I am telling you all of this for her sake this way we will be able to protect her better." Said Victor as he stood up.

As much as they hated to admit it, they knew Victor was right and right now their priority was their baby girl.

Debts can be cleared later.
