"Master".

Argon's voice woke him up from his reminiscining of the past. He tidied up his clothes and put all of his things into one of the five spatial rings.

It is exactly one year after he became a hybrid and over four years when he was kidnapped. It is the day he will return home.

Yesterday,he said his farewell to his friends that he came to know and became his temporary mentors. Certainly, they will meet again in the future.

"Let's go home!"

Thea activated one of his skills and a spatial tunnel appeared in front of Arthur. He slowly entered and finally disappeared after a few seconds.

<Spatial Canyons, Red Zone, Near Sunstone City>

Arthur appeared standing on the edge of a cliff, the same place he was thrown in by the bastard leader of kidnappers.

Arthur never lingered there and started walking out of there and towards Sunstone City. He never had the problem of navigating his way back because of the skill Hunter. It is a passive skill produced by Bolton using mana waves to scan a wide range around Arthur and creating a map in Arthur's mind. Every tree, stone and the livings things covered by the mana wave will not escape his detection even if they were using hiding skills.

His kidnappers back then used a safe house not far from the city, and they escaped to the red zone by consuming time of an hour.

Arthur used half of that time and he was now walking towards the west gate.

Sunstone city is divided into thirteen sections which is located on four circles. The city has four gates which are the North, South, West and East Gates.

The central circle is where the chairman of the city, signifying the first section of the city.

The second circle is where the six noble families resides, which adds up to six sections surrounding the central circle.

The third circle is where two more sections are located. The market place which constitutes the auction houses and red district zones and the slave stores which take part of the east part of the circle. The west part belongs to the army barracks and guild houses.

The last circle is where the four business families that sums up the four last sections of the city.

The Zell family rakes in profit through selling unique glasses for construction and other things. The most popular asset though are skill seed gems by hiring mercenaries.

"Stop, show some identification before you enter." Before Arthur can enter the city, he was naturally stopped by the guards stationed there on the West Gate.

Arthur just slowly retrieved a set of clothes and put a letter on top of this. He then carefully handed them to the guard. He also took some gold coins out.

"I am so sorry, Uncle. I have lost my identification papers but please send this letter to the head of the Zell family and you can just tell him that the proof will be these clothes. These are for your troubles dear uncles".

The guard was visibly happy by these events that he spared no time to send someone to the errand. He could finally spent some time relaxing on a premium room on the red district zones with these money.

After waiting for some time, the messenger came back and whispered something to the guard in-charge.

"Okay, you can go in now kid. Some people are waiting for you inside."

Arthur gave his thanks and walked in.

There were three people waiting and he recognized his mother from the start. The other two are his father and the Head of the Zell family, his Uncle Marty.

After scrutinizing the boy who just entered, the woman started to cry and she slowly went near and welcomed her lost son with a hug.

"Arthur, my child I am so happy you are back. Do not worry, I will hire some guards to protect you now. You will be safe from now on".

She just lost his first-born son for many years because of that incident, and she used all of her connections to save him but failed in the end.

When she heard of what happened in the red zone, she was totally devastated. No one is optimistic that Arthur is still alive, but she never stopped hoping.

"Mother, I am sorry for not returning fast enough. Do not worry, your child is here and I will be safe".

"Kathlyn, I do not think our son will have trouble protecting himself from now on."

The moment Arthur closed in near the two men, they immediately sensed a hybrid in their power radar. Marty, who looked younger even though he is the oldest, was shocked to see that his power radar actually detected Arthur's presence for three seconds.

"I think Jeremy is correct, your son is a hybrid now. And a powerful one at that."

"A hybrid?" Kathlyn is a hybrid herself but he never noticed that his son was one too because of his excitement.

Arthur had the passive skill Hunter so he already knew that the three was waiting for him before the guard knew about it. The range of the Hunter skill can easily cover one-fourth of the city. Surprisingly, no one tried to block his his scan which means it is totally invisible for the people there. Maybe a high tier hybrid may sense it but Arthur will experiment on it a later date. Also, it is very idiotic to block his skill because it can by-pass any hiding skills.
