" Grand father! That supreme elder farthur is your biological grand father! "
Mark was startled for a second, had azel been some random grand daughter, who was given birth from one among this supreme elder's offsprings.
Mark would not had been shocked to begin with. As a peak existence such as a supreme elder could have many third generations to begin with.
But what made him startled, was her current identity. How could supreme elder farthur enslave his own biological grand daughter. Assign her to him, after reducing her to the level of a lowly slave.
After deceiving many peak experts on this floor, when azel's birth took place. The supreme elder had narrated a fake death for his own granddaughter and safeguarded her life, against the coveter.
She was the last precious thing his beloved and talented daughter had left behind for him, so he needs to cherish her, rather than making slave out of her.
If this supreme elder had the guts to face against all the powers on this floor, just so he could protect the azel's life.
Why force her to go through the troubles at meyan household? To let her enter slavery, under an unknown owner, and lose her freedom thereafter.
Couldn't he provide her some peaceful life free from struggles at the least and let her live an ordinary life without any strife.
But what shocked mark the most, was the decision made by the supreme elder farthur.
Assigning azel to him as a slave, he who was a complete stranger for supreme elder farthur, not even acquainted to begin with.
Unless mark was a good owner to begin with, the decision made by farthur could had very well ruined azel's life. Filled with misery, not to be parted until her death, which had to be even permitted by that master himself.
A tought ran his mind " Demons! Yes he is a demon to begin with, the moralities of humans could never be compared to begin with. Did he really grown tired of his burdened granddaughter, and wished to get rid by assigning her to some random stranger as a master. If so, then why bother presenting me with the black order token, carrying the weight of an elder.
There a old saying that a beggar carrying a bag filled with gold, become thief in the eyes of others.
Valuable and beautiful things would be sought by others. if one doesn't had the capability to protect some thing or some one, they could very well be caught by others, under their very own eyes.
Didn't this supreme elders act of providing, the black order token. Elevating his status to that of an elder, ensuring an insurance for his granddaughter, a tight leg to depend on.
Who would dare provoking an elder from supreme forces, just for the sake of obtain a beauty like azel, isn't that courting death.
Supreme elder... he still had some feelings left for his grand daughter. "
This supreme elder... his brain is indeed twisted, to begin with. "
" Didn't there exists some young miss, exclaimed by Heil, who had brought me to this damn floor. Was that a coincidence or she had some motives behind my rescue. "
Compared to earlier more questions started bugging his mind, after azel had finished exclaiming her secret.
" Why did that young miss rescued me when this mark was vulnerable from injuries, inflicted under the decisive battle against selvira?
" I got a new slave, that's good, but why did that second slave turned out to be a half succubus, carrying a human gene?
If supreme elder farthur had turned out to be azel's biological grand father. Why bother gifting his granddaughter to me as a slave?
And at last, how the did I managed to survive from that damn arena? When the supreme elder from cole family was bend on killing me! " He was not able to sort out the exact reason behind these occurrences.
When his mind was puzzled with many unsolved questions, a tall silhouette that was a couple of feets larger than azel, appeared behind her.
He has a plain looking face with short trimmed hair, covered by a peaked hat, that slid half way sidewards.
A characteristic double coloured eyes, with an azure pupil on his right eye and a crimson coloured pupil on his left.
A large and thin circular earring was hanging down his left ear, that had a copper hue over it's surface, with a marked carvings on its lower part that looked quite mystical.
He was wearing some white colored robes, embroided with golden pattern design and with few occasional red coloured innervations.
It would rather be appropriate to describe it more and of an uniform, with the presence of a peaked cap that had a white circular top and hard black visor in the front.
With the presence of a relatively short black cape, he looked more of a warlord than some supreme elder that governs politics for the family.
He placed his palms over azels shoulders, gazing over mark, who was standing on top the bed, and exclaimed.
" Young boy, seems like you are fine, your hidden injuries are all healed.
This granddaughter of mine had reveled some of her hidden past, making her grandfather to worry again... and one more person to share my burden. "
Mark was dumbstruck all of a sudden. He was not able to spot his existence, was he spectating the scenes hidden, right from the very beginning.
This supreme elder had made his appearance out of no where. Popping out from thin air and making such revelations, how could mark be not surprised by this event.
" Azel's grandfather... Supreme elder Farthur! "
Mark was startled by the presence of this powerhouse. He was the very same person that gifted his very own blood related kin, to him as a slave.
Should he call his character to be insane, or an extremely scheming person that had even bend on using his granddaughter for his cause.
But still our mark was not able to feel, even a slight traces of killing intent revealed out of him.
Instead a bright smile revealing his sharp canines which was lying over his lower lip could be spotted.
His eyes revealed the feeling of being contented by some unknown cause.
Should he call him a trustworthy person or an extremely well trained killer, who had masked the killing intent within his self, to prevent attracting the attention from others. like a skilled assassin that completes his every task, given out for him, diligently without arousing anyone's suspicion like a ghost.
No matter what, the answers to his questions, that puzzles his mind, resides within the person, who was standing before him.
Mark signaled azel with his eyes, telling her to exit the room, as he wanted to have a brief discussion with supreme elder, that was standing behind her.
Bowing before her master gracefully, azel opened the large doors located over the right corner of the room. Closing it gently without making a loud noise, before exiting the room.

When was the last time I had seen such abnormal stats and attributes, on a moving soul, few known aspects are seen by me, but still almost all other stuff about him are hidden.
Though this person's presence is weaker than that old bone monarch. He isn't to be underestimated easily, at the bare minimum he had to be above level 145. What does that probably signify? He's powerful, when compared to that supreme elder from cole family, who was bend on killing mark.
Mark was startled, he just appraised farthur on a whim. Right from the very beginning, after mark had awoken, he was wondering weather this powerhouse had played a role in safeguarding him, against supreme elder from cole family.
Mark's reasoning was simple to begin with, if person A had offended an expert B, who was many times stronger than him, and also had a status of an apex existence of a certain area.
That person A's chances of survival would be minimal, unless an expert C, of same caliber as expert B who was also an apex existence, that was willing to offend that expert B, for A was present.
In this hidden areas of dungeon at this 21st floor. The person who could possibly offend, supreme elder sharing the same status of an apex existence could be counted on one's fingers.
And the one's who may be willing to offend the supreme elder from cole family, for mark may only be farthur, or his subordinates. As the black order token in marks possession would represent the flame glory family, even they would have to think twice before making an enemy out of him.
Comming back to present, mark had stepped down the large sized bed, and stood over the elevated area in which the large sized bed was positioned.
Mark had immediately directed his gaze away from farthur's eyes, when their eyes met.
Mark's eyes carried slight traces of gratefulness, As he had mistakenly took farthur for a savior.
His eyes also gave out a slight trace of fright since he was doubting farthur's true motives behind helping him.
Mark had put up some courage, took a couple of deep breaths, before looking back at farthur's eyes, that still looked frightening for him.
Especially his crimson pupil on left eye, that made him threatened, as if it could devour him any moment from now.
He slowly opened his mouth before exclaiming respectfully, as he suspected him to be his savior.
" Supreme elder farthur... While this mark was asleep, did you presence driven away that old monster from cole family and rescued me from that mad man's rage! "
A person who dares to break rules set by the arena, and disrespect a peak existence such as farthur, that mark was unable to see through, even with his privileges of being a player, with the help of his system, farthur remained mysterious.
If that supreme elder from cole family was not called a madman, then who could possibly take his place for it.
" Mad man! " Supreme elder farthur chuckled a bit, revealing his upper canines, before exclaiming.
" Young boy, though that mad man was chased away by an expert, who had also driven him away merely by his words. But that person is not this seat, you are expecting it to be. "
He approached mark instantly like wind and placed his palm over marks head, stroking the hair gently. Like a master who's praising his pet.
" Young boy, you passed this time, let's see if you're really are the person I am waiting for. " The supreme elder exclaimed internally.
" Young boy stop using that appraiser skill on this seat or others, from today. Though your skill seems to be rather hidden, an ordinary emperor class with decent amount of intelligence or even an expert at the peak of king class, who had a solid foundation for his cultivation base, would be able to sense your trick instantly. "
The words of supreme elder farthur had made mark remind him of Kaiser, who exclaimed the very same words on his first acquaintance, but wasn't he an expert who was at the lower realm of king class, nevertheless a peak class. The thing of cultivation was a new concept introduced to his statement.
Though farthur's voice resembles that of a young adult. He was actually an old monster, belonging to the generation that succeeded the current generation by five whole layers.
A powerhouse whose influence was keeping flame glory family, away from external threats and also in harmony with other supreme forces.
" When you use appraisal on some expert, you actually manages to see through their skills, their armaments, their blessings and sometimes their hidden trump cards.
Some experts who are able to sense your skill would get irritated, they feels as if some one is starring at their naked body present without any robes to be present, with a curious gaze in users eyes. And I don't need to say things regarding womens, who will not stop until they find excuse to end your life then.
Unless your target, did not exceed by a single major realm in cultivation, you must avoid getting unwanted troubles over your head. "
When mark lifted his head slowly, to apologise to the supreme elder for his mistakes earlier. He was startled for a second, looking at the irritated face of farthur, mark's heart started beating harder.
By some old instincts, the supreme elder resembled, a well known person to him for a second.
The one who always had his back, in his first life, when he was the Jian family's patriarch.
The one who had made him attain the glory of twin sword asura, by sentencing him to go to the foreign lands.
The first ancestor of Jian family!
Instinctly a drop of tear ran across his cheek, the expression made by mark had startled the supreme elder farthur, who was confused by this sudden development.
" Why is he making that strange face, did I remind him of some old troubling memories, about a person who's attached to his heart.
Well it's not my position to pry on his privacy, asking about that, let's divert the topic. "
" Hey, hey! Young boy, had this seats made you frightened? Is my face really that scary?
Our arrogant young boy that was capable enough to stand unfazed, facing against the might from the supreme elder of cole family, really got scared!
Had I made a mistake... by sending my granddaughter azel as a slave to you? " Supreme elder started mocking mark, trying to divert the present topic at hand, bringing azel's name into conversation.
Bringing his eyes down along with his brows, making a regretful face, mark sighed before gaining back his composure exclaiming, " Nothing, it's just that, I got reminded of some old relative. Who is no more on the face of this land. Well few questions are bugging me for a long time. Supreme elder would you spare some time, clearing my confusion in my brains! "

* It's just that farthur reminded our mark of first ancestor of Jian family, the doll like ancestor.
