The Zell and Range families were friends even before they started doing business. Zell family would provide glass wares for the restaurant businesses of the Range Family while the other would advertise the glass wares and even transport some to other cities for selling. Even when the Zell family ventured to supplying glass tubes for potion making and the Range family started importing and exporting herbs, they are still strong allies.
They were so close that previous head of the two families agreed to strengthen their alliance even further marriage.Jeremy married Kathlyn the third daughter, and Raven married the second son, Chuck. Marty got married early to the youngest daughter of the Devon Family, Lydia. Unfortunately, Lydia died giving birth to Lylia and Leo.
The two families would find time to visit each other every three years but this time the Range family volunteered to come early this year for various reasons.
First is of course to congratulate the twins becoming hybrids, and by the info they had received, they harmonized with a yellow skill seed which is a very big deal.
Second is to check-up their lost grandson who came back just a few months ago. They really want to know how he survived all these years.
Lastly, to oversee their training before going to an academy. It is a law after all to send kids who became hybrids before the age of fifteen to an academy or a military institution. Hybrids who became one after the age of fifteen years are not accepted because they passed the age good enough to train their bodies. However, there are exceptions to this.
Christian and Jennifer, the previous heads of the Range family, always enter into the Zell Family through the Training facility in the back where the previous head of the Zell family, Richard, would always greet them with terrific wine. They would always do this even if their friend was now gone, and they would bring wine themselves. All of the rest of their group who came with them enter through the main hall.
Almost everytime, Marty was there to accompany them, but this time, it was very different. What they saw almost gave the two a heart attack.
The scene when they stepped in is the moment Skye and Dylan were blasted away and fell terribly hard. They observed that in the origin of the blast is a kid, standing there like nothing happened, he was even smiling.
Chris immediately rushed to where the twins fell and analyzed their condition. He was surprised that this two were only unconscious and not injured in the slightest. That blast was strong that he was sure that it would result to great damage.Furthermore, it seems that it was inflicted by both of them to each other.
Jennifer, on the other hand, took this situation rather different than his husband. Seeing her unconscious grandsons, her maternal instincts kicked in and judged the kid to be the culprit.

She angrily casted a magic skill towards the kid.
"No, wait dear, he..." Chris tried to stop his wife but he was too late.
The kid doesn't seem surprised by the attack and dodged the skill while answering by creating a shadow line towards the old woman.
Jennifer side stepped in reflex but the line just extended and passed her. Noticing that the skill was not harmful, he faced the kid once more, ready to cast another skill.
"Calm down and sleep". She noticed that the kid vanished but she heard a voice behind her. Everything became dark and she fell down. The kid caught the old woman and lie her down with ease.
=≠================≠============
Everything changed when Jennifer woke up. She was already on Marty's office, sleeping like a baby using his husband's lap as a pillow. She sat up and noticed that Marty and Jeremy is also in the room but all of them were awfully quiet. Sitting opposite to her was the kid he attacked earlier, sipping tea like an adult.
She really can't remember what the hell happened but she was still angry that she did not care. She wanted to attack again but was stopped by her husband.
"It is nice to meet you again, Grandpa Chris and Granma Jennie. It has been too long. I hope you can forgive me for my earlier offense."
'What the hell is this kid saying?' She never met a kid with such ability so she was bewildered. She was very puzzled by this event, but like a tidal breeze, the reality slapped him awake.
"Aa-Aa-Arthur?"
Only grandsons and granddaughters were allowed to call him Grandma Jennie. She already saw Skye and Dylan, so this must be Arthur.
"Grandma Jennie, please try out these magnificent tea I brewed. On my travels I had the luxury to drink a cup and buy one bag of the tea leaves. If you want more, I can give you some later. Please excuse, I had to check my brothers if they are already awake."
Without waiting for their reply, he casually walked out leaving the dumbfounded old women on her seat.
"I-I-I .... You and you, start talking? What the hell is going on? And you, dear old man, why are you calmly sitting there drinking tea?"
"But the young one was right, it is an excellent tea. You should sit down, calm down and drink some tea."
Chris only saw how the kid instantly appeared behind Jennifer but the skill used to knock out a top tier class hybrid like that was extremely invisible.
Chris clearly saw the light of hope today. He should learn from the kid and use it everytime he and his wife had a quarrel.
