The hunter family was the strongest in the forest City. Having a duke as the family head, place them on top of the food chain.
In Forest City, there are four major families, Hunter families being the strongest while the Pepe family, Wood family, and the Snow family only have a Marquis.
Being the strongest and the Lord of Forest City the Hunter's faced a lot of threats and dangerous schemes. Though having a unique bloodline, their family members are extremely strong, which makes them a lot of threat to the noble families.
In the Sky polar empire, the imperial family is wary of them. While the imperial family did everything with their power to exterminate the Hunter's family. Though with the aid of other powerful families in the Imperial City.
The imperial family sent countless assassins to assassinate every major person in the Hunter family. Yet, Hunter's family survived and moved out from the imperial city to the Forest City.
In the past, nobody dared to go against the Hunters. Being the strongest family in the Sky polar empire, every family looks at them in awe. Due to their ancestors' teachings, not to struggle for power or contest for the king's position.
However, to make their family great and live a peaceful life. Thomas's grandfather, the strongest in the entire empire, went on an adventure to see the outside world besides their little empire.
After 50 years of not returning, various threats and assassination attempts started appearing. Some of the important people in the family were killed in this attempt. So, this leads to the decline of the Hunters family.
Thomas walked out of his room and headed toward his father's apartment. Everyone who saw him stole a glance from him. All ladies who came across him could not compare their look to him.
Envy and jealousy had been seen on their face, most of the maids fought among themselves to tend to his chores.
Ignoring everyone that came across him, with an emotionless calm face, he entered his father's room.
His father and mother sat on a chair and stared at him intensely. His father in his early forties looks extremely handsome for his age while his almond-shaped eyes make him manly and authoritative.
His mother in her early 30s is nothing short of his father's appearance. Her blemishless skin makes her look like a porcelain doll.
Her plump chest added a mature feeling to her appearance. Also, her raven black oily hair gave a natural feeling to people looking at her.
Staring at both of his parents, their beauty together could not but awakens his soul to act.
His father cleared his throat.
"Hmm, hmm"
"Sit down" his father commanded.
Immediately, he took the third chair and sit.
"Thomas we cannot delay your going to the academy anymore," His mother said.
Thomas loved reading, he started reading when he was 6 years old. By 10 years, he had already read all the books in the forest City library and every major personal library of a major family. Although they were baffled at first, why did the hunters' family needed a lot of books? they thought. However, since the books are not cultivation manuals or the family's secret books they soon forgot about it.
While there was no book for Thomas to read anymore in the Forest City, his father started going to the imperial library to get more books for him in the Imperial City.
Thomas read all kinds of books to gain knowledge, alchemy, formation, war strategy, war Commanding, business, painting, music, men, women, relationship, and everything that could be founded in the library.
He believes he was unique and different from others. He must follow his path, but since he could not start cultivating until the age of 12. He poured everything in his heart towards the book.
Having an eidetic memory made him a living encyclopaedia.
"Father, mother, there is nothing to learn in the academy that I haven't known," Thomas said with a light smile on his lips.
His father sighed, his forehead creased bit.
"We know, but the imperial family had given a command that every noble child above age 12 should attend the academy"
Meanwhile, his mother stretched out her hand, while getting hold of his son's hand, she caressed it gently with an affectionate look. She stared at his son lovingly while her eyebrow raised slightly.
Noticing his wife's action, his father shook his head. There was a sorrowful look on his face.
"You need not be told, you know everything that is going on isn't" Thomas's father questioned with a coarse voice while trying to hide his emotions.
Thomas nodded.
He knew that the imperial family is pushing him out of the forest City. So that they can do their evil deed to him.
However, they made a grave mistake underestimating him. With the unique bloodline not only does it make him extremely strong. It also hides his cultivation realm. Making the Hunters looks like an ordinary mortal.
Thomas's bloodline is the purest in the past thousand years. So giving him time to clock 14years was their greatest mistake. His father looked at his expressionless face and said
"You went out early this morning to the mountain forest," without taking his gaze from him. "And came back dirty with torn clothes"
Immediately, his mother looked at him intensely, checking his body for any sign of hidden injury.
Seeing the look on his mother face, Thomas smiled
' I'm lucky to have a family that cares and loves me this much' he thought.
"Mother! I'm not injured"
Hearing this, his mother sighed relief.
"I broke through" Thomas answered abruptly in a low voice.
"Broke through what!!" They both questioned together.
Seeing their questioning look he chuckled.
"Will you talk or I break your hand?" His father asked, raising his voice a bit. Though he was joking.
