242. Patriarch

Inside Luo Clan.....

King now stood inside a study. He watched a middle-aged man flip through a book, he had a kind face and a warm aura.

" Father."

The man closed the book and looked at King. This was King's father and the patriarch of Luo family, Luo Zhen.

" You returned."

" Yes."

Zhen looked at his son and sighed.

" Did you find peace? "

King was silent.

" * sigh *..... son, among all of Luo you are the most talented one, your only shortcoming was your brother."

" I had to father. Mother.... mother made me promise to always look after him."

" I know. She asked me the same as well but you should understand what kind of person your brother was. The care we showed him changed him, instead of becoming kind he became arrogant.

We always cleaned up his mess. If not for him being my son and my promise to her I would have killed him long ago."

" I know who he was but I had to atleast seek his killer out.....

" No. My younger son provoked someone he couldn't and paid that mistake with his life. We feared such a thing would happen thus we imprisoned him in that semi plane like you suggested.

I went against every elder and member of our family and did that just for you.

If she was here she would have ended him herself. You know she would, she was kind but never would she ever tolerate him if she saw his deeds."

King didn't reply, he knew his father was right. His mother was kind but at the same time she was righteous, for the crimes his brother did she would have killed him long ago.

" Anyway, I should be thanking them. They spared me the heartbreak of killing my own son."

" Father, I.....

" Go, rest. Finally everything is done."

King took a deep breath, he turned around to leave but remembered something

" Father, before I left the one I fought gave me this, as an apology for killing my brother."

" Well....

Zhen was quite surprised when King took out the token. He could sense a mysterious power course through the token.

" I understand."

King took back the token and left. After the door closed Zhen spoke

" That token, what do you think of it? "

" Quite mysterious. Several laws were carved into it, with space being prominent. I think it's a space marker, one that allows the other person to locate and teleport towards the token."

A shadow stepped out from a corner. It was a grey haired man, he wore black robes all over his body, even his face was covered by these robes. If a person didn't look at him they would fail to sense him standing there.

" Hmm.... I didn't think King would make such an impression on them. What do you think about them? "

" Strong, way too strong. Infact Monstrous won't even be able to completely define those people."

The shadow spoke seriously. Zhen was stunned, this was the first time he was hearing his trusted friend speak this seriously.

" Surely not to that degree."

" You didn't see them. One man contested against Glaze with just level one Immortal strength, his battle instincts were horrifying but what was scary was his ability to control true flames!! And two of them!! "

" Huh!? Control two True flames!? "

This time Zhen was shocked. It isn't such a shocker if a person can control true flames but two at the same time being a level one Immortal... he has never even heard of such a thing a such a thing before.

" And he wasn't the strongest, the one who contested against King was even stronger! He defeated King with Level two immortal strength!! "

Zhen's eyes nearly popped out. It took him a minute to gather his wits and asked

" Are you saying the one who beat Zhen was just an Immortal? An immortal beat a golden Immortal? "

" Yes."

Zhen took in a cold breath. He couldn't believe what he just heard, if what his friend said was true then these guys couldn't be considered monsters, infact that would would just undermine their strength.

" It's a good thing Luo made a good impression on them."

" True, he has grown up. His only weakness is no more, I believe he will soon lead our family towards greatness."

" As a father I am sad to have known the death of my younger son but at the same time I am also happy that he will no longer bind Luo. His mental state should be cleared soon, his path to higher realms will be much smoother."

" Hmph! You should have killed that vermin sooner, he was a disgrace to this family at the same time he was a blemish towards my elder sister!! "

Zhen smiled bitterly. Noone else within Luo would dare speak to him like this except this man. He was his brother-in-law and his good friend, Cane.

" Give me a break, you have been saying this for years now."

" You should have listened to me when I first said it then!! "

Zhen raised his hand in surrender. Cane calmed down and said solemnly

" Do we inform the higher ups about them? "

" No. Let them do what they want, from what you said none of them are dangerous to the masses, right? "

" Right."

" Then it's settled. It seems few powerhouses will emerge in the future, I hope our Luo can still stand amidst them."

" Why do you worry, we have that."

" Yeah... but it's existence may also be our death as well."

" We can only do our best."
