Chapter 201 201:Warrant[II]
In Aurorica, Wood Mansion...
A deadly silence prevailed for a moment that was broken by a loud crisp sound.
A tablet displaying a scene was crushed into pieces of dust and fell on the ground.
CRANG!
In the grand mansion of the family, Arthur, Gwen, and Stephen gathered in the opulent study room, their faces etched with concern and anger.
Arthur, the patriarch of the family, slammed his fist onto the polished wooden desk, causing the room to tremble.
A destructive aura radiated from him and his hair rose terrorizing everyone.
"This is preposterous! What the hell happened in there" Arthur roared, his voice echoing off the walls. "How dare they accuse him of such crimes?"
"We don't know the details but Irina had met Leon. Both of them sorted out their differences and according to her Leon was the one to end the enemy commander leading to the closure of the gate"Stephen massaged his forehead
Gwen's heart sank as she watched her grandfather's outburst. She paced nervously, her hands twisting in her skirts."But how is this possible? Leon is so weak? How can he defeat the enemy commander who is supposed to be a Martial King?"
"And he had already met her…..ARGGGG!"
"My brother, how hurt he might be now. And who knows how he is now? Maybe he went into hiding again to avoid my mother…That bitch."
"GWEENNNN!"
Arthur's loud voice swept Gwen and woke her up from her frantic state.
Gwen looked at Arthur with calm eyes.
"Listen Gwen. You and everyone out there are living in delusion. That boy..."
"That boy isn't frail...He is a menace."Arthur muttered, closing their eyes.
Only he knows Leon himself and how terrifying he is.
Trash...
That is the word used by the world but only he…yes only he knows how terrifying he is.
"He will be alright, but the problem is too much. That bastard Paul is just trying to shift the blame. The family had spent so many resources on the Federation call and since all this became a failure without gain, they had to find a scapegoat. That Paul knew knew he would be fucked by other families Martial Saint so he just pinned Leon and ran away."Arthur's mumured caressing his beard.
"Damn! Is this a joke and why Leon is the one to bear this, "Gwen screamed in anger.
"That's because Leon's worth as a whole isn't much. He might have done great deeds inside but the problem is that he is not famous and people aren't willing to believe that this is true after all everyone knows his condition. A person who can't cultivate."Stephen analyzed and looked at his father, "It seems we need to file a case to the Federation. Maybe they take back the search order."
"But Grandfather, what if they don't listen? What if they take him away before we can do anything?"
Gwen clenched her fists in frustration. "It's madness, Grandfather. He's been fighting to protect the shadow zone, not exploit it and these greedy people."
Stephen, paced back and forth, his jaw set in a firm line and he affirmed Gwen's words, "We must do something. We cannot let them take him without a fight."
Arthur's eyes flashed with fury as he rose from his seat, his imposing figure casting a shadow over the room. "We aren't going to stay idle and it's good that Leon disappeared for now. I hope he won't come out and create some trouble.
Gwen stepped forward, determination burning in her eyes. "I'll do whatever it takes to clear Leon's name. He's my brother, and I won't let them destroy him secondly, do you know where he is."
"I know but we can't just make big waves and bite everyone like rabid dogs," Stephen voiced his thoughts firmly.
Arthur calmed a bit and spoke, "And Gwen don't go crazy you will meet soon."
Stephen nodded in agreement. "We'll need to act swiftly and decisively. Time is of the essence but we need to do this in an orderly way first so that we don't become a nuisance and pull more aggro."
After discussing it a bit, Stephen and Gwen walked out hurriedly, and the moment they walked out of the mansion, the place that had been silent started to tremble and crimson murderous intent filled the entire place.
"Is this also the manipulation done by that person on the order of fate? Why are you trying to cut him?"
The mansion shook violently, the force of Arthur's anger reverberating through the walls.
Was he worried about Leon?
Hell no?
He was the last guy he needed to be worried about, still, he couldn't help but feel burdened by all this.
"I am gonna go bald dealing with his antics. Who knows if that bastard has other plans in mind?"
Rubbing his chin, Arthur rose remembering the woman.
"I should consult her. I just hope she won't beat
me down again. Things would start clear once Leon came back and I am sure he would nag the hell out of me trying to know the past when he was one who came with all the weird ideas."
But amidst the chaos, he wondered what fate had for them.
He looked up and sighed wondering just how much he could help Leon against the journey ahead.
........
Things around the world started to heat up and the turmoil wasn't going to end soon.
As soon a terrifying storm blew over Aetheria Prime in Elysium.
Inside an open land in front of a huge mansion, an old man took a pill and swallowed it.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Just believe in yourself."
"Shut up! Dont teach me, kid. You are way wet behind the ears."
The old man's name was Harold Greymore and the grandfather of Seph.
BOOOOOOOM!
The blood and Qi in his body stagnated for a moment and his heart stopped beating.
He froze like a statue and then there was an oar in his body like an angry dragon.
A crackling sound echoed as his body went through a transformation and he spat a mouthful of blood.
After a few minutes, Harold spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
His power started skyrocketing and as he started getting acquainted, he swallowed a few elixirs beside him.
RUMBLE!
Loud shockwaves emerged crashing onto everyone around but Seph with his hands folded stood unfazed.
His eyes then gleamed and then looking around, he screamed.
"Everyone run! Get away from here."
"What?"
"No, we can't. We must..."
Their voice hadn't fallen when a fierce coercion hit them, blowing them away into tatters.
