Back home 2

"So… why is it that you want to meet me?"

Elron looked at me with serious eyes. He probably knows why already.

"You probably know about it already."

"..."

"Remove me from the tournaments, remove me from the limelight"

Elron slammed his fist on the marble table, causing it to crack.

"You've… planned this haven't you?"

Now with eyes full of greed he looked at me with such intensity.

"Yeah, and you'll never get me anyways, as I said I plan to join the military"

"Hah!"

I showed all evidence, things that I made Viperpool my own, a foothold in the underworld and Bluelights. He can't ignore me with all of the achievements I have.

"So… protecting your Identity, your… business too and removing you in your spotlight altogether?"

"Yeah, it's not much is it?"

"Hahaha!"

Elron burst out laughing, right now he's intrigued by me.

"Also here"

I tossed a glass bottle towards Elron and he caught it, looking at it with both curiosity and confusion he glanced at me.

"Pills I made specifically to counter your erratic perks side effect"

His eyes widened, and without any moments wasted he gulped a pill down. Not many know this but this man's Skills perk is making him slowly descend into child-like madness.

For centuries he was finding a way for a cure but then some mafia gang centuries ago decided that it was a good thing that he was being crazy, but all for nought that just gave them an enemy for life.

Now that I have Riley under my hands he is very willing to cooperate with me, and this pill is just a push.

"Alright then Headmaster. I'll be going"

I closed the door behind me and left them alone. With that, I also made the Headmaster dependent on me.

As I went to class I couldn't help but shake my leg. I want to go back to the mansion that we used to own.

"Damian?"

A voice made me snap back to the lessons. It was our homeroom teacher.

"Sorry miss"

"What makes you so aggravated?"

"oh-uh… it's... "

At this time everyone's attention is on me, but I just lowered my head and continued speaking.

"Jask's proclamation. It's my birthplace and hometown. I just can't wait"

A heavy silence, a few nodding heads, looks like I'm not the only one who came there.

"Sorry if I'm disturbing the class"

It's currently 11 am and I'm already itching to go, I'll just stay in here and immediately go back after.

When it hits 1 pm it's time for our personal training. It's time for us to go to the Training center by choice.

But since I'm itching to go at Jask I immediately went off and took the necessary stuff on my dorm, especially the woven bracelet.

I didn't use the road, I went ahead to the nearest forest to call unto the mechanical tiger and we went ahead to Jask immediately. The moment I'm a few km away from the bridge I got off the tiger and started running.

There are multiple roads coming and I, who was walking slowly took my time taking in what's happening.

"This bridge…"

I slowly walked across it. I looked below it and even saw the same Graffiti art I made back when I'm staying under the bridge.

"Haha! It's still there…"

The moment I crossed the bridge I ran like my life depended on it, even getting honked at by some cars I didn't care.

With my legs about to give out and my breath running out I finally managed to get here.

"Home…"

I looked at the rusted gates of the mansion I grew up in. Slowly walking inside I took my time to look around. It was at least left in pristine condition.

Walking in front of the doors I inhaled and grabbed a key out of my storage space. Using it to unlock the door, fortunately it wasn't that badly affected even though it crooked then and there.

The first thing that meat me is the huge living room. The TV The Sofa are dusted, cobwebs on the corners of the room.

I walked slowly to sit on it on the sofa, it was crunchy. I guess time got the best of it.

Next was the kitchen which was visible. I walked there and looked at the cabinets the food there was expired. I didn't bother checking the fridge.

Slowly walking upstairs and through the corridor, I stopped at a specific room. There was dry blood on the floor.

Memories of my Nanny came in mind and so as the manservant. I sighed and then my eyes landed on one room.

Mom's office. I took another key off my storage and opened tried opening it, but the door just gave out and fell on the floor creating a loud noise.

I shook it off and went to my mother's desk. How nostalgic.

Going to the desk drawers I touched them one by one. My hands starting to shake. I don't have keys on this one but I tried opening them.

They're unlocked.

The moments I opened the first drawer is where I saw it. My diary back at the nursery.

"mom… you kept it.. "

A tear flowed down my cheek as I grabbed the tiny notebook that has a label of "my diary!" and opened it.

It just described my days with Jeanne playing and displaying my annoyance with her. I couldn't help but chuckle.

After reading it all I looked back at the drawer with a Blue folder in it. Opening it I saw a whole paper with a note in it.

===

Dear Damian.

How are you my baby? If you're reading this you must've been grown up! Sadly I won't be able to see you grow or see my grand babies.

But either way! I want to say that I love you and I miss you, I hope you understand why I left that day. Mommy promised to make the city monster free just for my baby boy~

Is life in Jask good? Well if you're reading this it must be right? Well baby, I left some things just for you! Also I also have a gift for your cousin Dimitri they're just in the basement! Give the gift to Dimitri once he hits age 16 okay? Be a big brother to him and don't bully him, my baby is a smart boy after all~

Much love, your mom Freya Cassanova

===

My legs gave out, mom. Mom! You sacrificed for what?!

Tears started running down my cheeks, mom sacrificed herself because she wants Jask a place for me to live. She thought that three Gate overflows was manageable but then… she…

I wanted this world to burn down sometimes. But then I remember the root cause of all of this tragedy of mine.

Zenites.

Those damn zenites.

Until I can proudly say my name is a Cassanova I would eradicate the root cause of my suffering.

It's a very hard deceleration for someone who wants to live out of will of his mother but what is a world where I can't even walk freely if there are zenite threatening to destroy my world at any given moment?

The second dimensional rift already occurred. Time to prepare for the third.

I slowly lifted myself up and looked at the drawer, there is a key in there, presumably the basement.

As I grabbed the key I checked everything on the drawers, nothing important so I went to the basement. I wasn't allowed in here because mom extremely prohibited me so.

As I walk down the dusty stairs I used my phone's flashlight and I was greeted with a large heavy looking door.

'It wasn't rusted as I thought'

As I placed the key on the keyhole and twisted it I heard a click. Then I pushed the door. What was waiting inside gave me a shock.

"w-what the hell…?"

Skill orbs resting on shelves and two martial guide sitting in the middle of it all. It felt like a library with the two martial guides in the middle.

I immediately closed the door behind me and locked it from the inside.

"What is this…?"

I walked up to the martial guides, there is a note in top of them. Saying:

"For Damian, For Dimitri"

With a smile I sighed and looked at the contents of the Martial guides.

===

===

Bullet consort is Dimitri and mine is Point blank. I can see why, I looked at Uncle Richards past and he is too good with a gun, this is probably the same guide he has.

I'll keep this both for now. I looked around the shelves of Skill orbs around me. I can't believe mom and uncle would keep this things.

All of this skill orbs are all ranked from G to D rank. I don't know what to say, I know we're rich but not this rich.

'Were we billionaires?'

I might be underestimating an [S] rank salary who knows. I'm a millionaire now and were just at the point of building a bigger business.

"This place.. "

I can't put them in a dimensional space like my storage, there is a reason why this things are too valuable.

"Hmm.. "

I went out and locked the heavy door, locking the whole mansion even. As I walked through the mayors office, I'm pretty sure an official would be in there.

But of course there are already people in line waiting, and it's a long line I may say. I immediately went ahead and go to the very last place and waited.

It took me couple of hours but it was worth it, when it's finally my time the mayor, which in his office looked absolutely haggard.

"Please sit."

I did as he said and sat down

"Okay, are you here to live or reclaim property?"

"Reclaim property, but its my relatives and she's gone"

"Is there any documents?"

"Yes"

I showed the papers he read it through and his eyes widened in shock.

"you're related to Freya Cassanova?"

"Yes, why?"

"oh nothing"

As he placed the documents down and went to his laptop just sitting on the desk writing something as the taps continued.

Then lastly with the hit of enter behind him which is a printer started printing.

With a pen he started writing down on the blanks of the document he just printed.

"okay sign here"

He handed me the pen and did as he said, signing on the paper itself.

"Alright, that's just the rough draft. Come back by.. October 7th as for the formal document thank you for coming here"

"Thank you"

I left with the document and went back at the mansion. I breathed slowly, it's time to build a strong background.
