Matheo's Rage and Chester Nonchalant Behavior

'Aghh, what should I do in these few minutes, Yone is taking a bit too long for some reason,' Sara grew bored as she waited outside the exit door, her eyes darting left and right checking out the different stores in the vicinity.

As Sara scanned the marketplace, her eyes locked on a jewelry store across the street.

The ash-painted building stood a few meters high and stretched several meters in width, with a signboard that simply read "Accessories."

She immediately rushed to it to check if there was something she liked and looked pretty on her.

After the harrowing day she had endured and her life that was almost lost if not for Yone, she felt that buying a few pretty things for her to lift her spirits wasn't extravagant and her father and mother would surely understand her feelings...

Just as she was about to open the door, a middle-aged man clad in green light armor suddenly appeared by her side, gently grabbing her hand.

In the next second, he tightly hugged her and made several checks on her body in the blink of an eye without her noticing any abnormality.

Startled at first, Sara looked up and recognized the familiar face of her father. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes like a miniature fountain as they streamed down her face.

She couldn't hold back her feelings anymore the moment she saw her father.

Her body trembled and the image of Raven's chest getting penetrated by the amorphous hands and Albert's whole middle body getting blown away by a similar attack made her fearful and angry.

All the emotions she had suppressed came rushing out and she tightly hugged her father as she sobbed uncontrollably without stopping for several moments.

Fear...weakness... sadness and despair filled her heart at that moment.

Matheo, her father, felt his heart break seeing his daughter in such a state. His sorrow quickly turned to rage as he thought about the cause of his daughter's suffering and current state.

'Sword Cliff, you will pay for the attack and the condition you left my daughter in!' Matheo vowed in his heart.

He swore that he would plead to the expert his father got acquainted with and ask for revenge.

No matter the payment or the sacrifice he had to make, he would undoubtedly get revenge on Sword Cliff sect and bathe Lake City with their blood. even the royal family must answer to him.

He then looked down at his crying daughter leaning on his chest and his heart softened, he focused on comforting Sara. He stroked her hair and spoke gently, "Shh little anger, your father is here now."

He knew that words would be of little comfort, and instead, he wanted to give her the space to release all the pain she had been holding inside.

Through her tears, Sara tried to speak, "Father, Albert, brother Raven, and all the guards were brutally kil..." Her voice broke, and she couldn't finish the sentence, the memories too painful to recount and she didn't have the courage to do so.

Matheo's expression darkened at her words, but he maintained his composure and said, "Little angel, it's not safe here. Let's go back to the clan, and you can tell us everything that happened. Your mother is worried sick about you and can't wait to see you."."

At the mention of her mother, Sara mustered up a bit of courage, distanced herself a little from her father, and wiped her tears with the sleeves of her robe.

She can't let he mother see her in such a miserable state.

If that happened, her mother would feel sad and might do the unthinkable and risk her life for her. 

The thought of her mother risking her life to hunt down the terrifying beast that had attacked them filled Sara with fear.

She didn't want that. She wanted her mother to stay safe, to stay by her side.

"Mhm," She nodded her head obediently, and then continued," But we can't head there immediately Father, my friend Yone is still creating his ID, I have to wait for him."

Matheo's frowned upon hearing his daughter's words.

'Where did this kid come from, and how did he get acquainted with my daughter,' He felt that this kid's identity might be a bit unusual and needed to protect her from him.

"Sara, we should return to the clan first and then..." However, before he could finish his words, a gentle breeze passed by them.

In the next moment, an old man appeared in front of Matheo, clad in green armor. The man had a gentle smile on his face as he respectfully greeted Matheo.

"Patriarch Matheo, it's an honor to meet you in this place," He then briefly glanced at Sara and the surrounding area, finding no one else he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the kid who accompanied your daughter on this trip Matheo?"

The man's respectful tone, devoid of any malice, only made Matheo more uneasy. He immediately pulled Sara behind him, shielding her with his body

He coldly glared at Chester but didn't dare to make a move in this place.

And even if he had the guts to make a move here, he still hadn't met his father's benefactor yet, so he didn't dare to make a scene and start a fight.

Seeing Matheo's reaction, Chester realized that Sara hadn't informed her father about the recent events yet so he didn't take it to heart and opened his mouth to speak, he maintained his respectful demeanor in case he mistook his intentions and fled the place.

If that happened, Chester would get a headache dealing with the aftermath of the situation and the fortuitous encounter with that kid might get ruined and his chances of getting into Snow Lake nation's inner circle would be lost!

After explaining the ins and outs of the aftermath of their attack on their carriage and what Chester heard from the spy Albert left behind them to trail after Sara, Matheo expression finally relaxed and he looked at Chester in a new light.

'Such a sly fox, jumping to each possible fortuitous encounter his eyes see,' Matheo thought, Chester's actions made him feel that his clan worth was nothing in Sword Cliff's eyes, which made him feel quite displeased.

'This kid my daughter met, I should have a chat with him as soon as possible,' He thought with narrowed eyes.
