Devon turned to look at Mae, maybe she could help him out of this situation, but Mae didn't even look at him even for a moment her eyes were only focusing on her mother.
Well, I guess it's every man for himself.
"I'm an orphan, beside which family will accept someone without celestial energy." Devon stood straight, with his head raised high as he spoke to the woman.
Though he was no longer at home, but with the identity he had, it was within his ability to bring down this so-called alliance if he wanted to. So why should he be terrified of someone like this?
A smile appeared at the corner of the Bran's lips. It seemed he liked the reply Devon gave his Mother.
"Can you tell me why I can sense a death aura coming out of your body?" The woman, however, seemed to ignore whatever expression Devon had and asked him another question that amused her.
Devon's heart skipped a beat, he never expected this kind of question, perhaps if he was giving some minutes then he would come up with something but right now he could only stare at the woman.
"Mother, something happened on our way here." This time Mae stepped in, she walked straight to her mother pulling her away from Devon then started explaining the whole incident that happened on their way here.
The woman shook her head as she listened to her daughter's words, "That little brat, I'm going to talk to your father let's see what we can do about it."
"Mother, Why not cancel the engagement." Mae's eyes shined, if there was something she wanted deeply the most then it was to end her engagement with that bastard are father set her up to
"Not possible, you may leave the Hall Mae and take your guest out with you."
That same voice again, Devon looked around trying to find out who was talking. At first, it was the voice in his head now another one in the hall what's wrong with people in this World.
But he was sure he wasn't the only one hearing it this time around.
Mae's face turned red, one could tell she hated the owner of that voice. She bit her lips hard and blood was starting to come out from her lips.
Since childhood, Mae had always inflicted damage on herself whenever she faces a problem she can't find a solution to. It had even become a habit of her.
"I hate you father." She turned around, giving Devon a look that he didn't need to be told before he knew what it meant. They both walked towards the door exit.
Before Devon could leave the hall, the woman's voice sounded in the hall"Oh yeah, little boy you're a core tier member, don't let anyone bully you."
Rather than being glad, Devon knew there was a hidden meaning behind those words. Despite not spending up to an hour with this woman, Devon had learned a lot of things about her.
He looked at the woman's face one more time, he was surprised that no matter how hard he stared at her face he couldn't see anything. Everywhere still seemed a blur to him.
"Thank you."Devon said.
He walked out of the hall right behind Mae. Unknowingly a smile appeared on his face this scene reminded him of home.
"Mother why did you make him a core tier member do you know what you just did." The other brother whose face was down the whole time raised his head and spoke to the woman.
He was tall, with broad shoulders, with an extremely healthy and strong body. He had black hair and eyes, His skin color was a healthy sheen of bronze, and his feature had a noble spirit within.
"Bran, of course, I know." The woman soft voice sounded as she returned back to her seat, a smile appeared on her face as she thought about all the fun she was going to have with the arrival of that kid.
Bran Silas, of all the Silas siblings He was the strongest, most intelligent, and it was especially so when it came to his peerless talent. Unlike Damian who never knew the meaning of hardship, Bran was raised with an Iron fist.
He was specially raised to be the next All Heaven Alliance leader.
....
Devon and Mae walked down the Main compound till they arrived at a black gate.
Mae raised an emblem pointing it at the gate. The gate opened on its own, unlike the Outer Compound meant for the Low tier members and the Inner Compound meant for the Mid-tier members. The main was different.
Each member of All heaven Alliance was giving an emblem with their respective colors on it, the emblem represents one's identity. It was also the only way to get into any of the compounds.
"Lady Mae welcome we have been waiting for your arrival." Two beautiful women rushed straight at Mae the moment she walked in as if they knew beforehand that she was coming.
Devon looked at them and was stunned, is it just me, or is this world full of beautiful women.
Seeing Devon staring at her friends, Mae decided to introduce him to them. "Aiden this is Anne and Lina," Mae said. From the way she addressed these two ladies, it was certain that the relationship between the three of them was good.
"Girls, this is Aiden a new core tier member." Now those words caused the two ladies to be stunned.
Anne and Lina looked at him from head to toe, trying to figure out how that was possible. They could tell he didn't have any celestial energy in him.
So how did he become a core tier member?
You have to know they were people who were stuck in their respective tier for years with no hope of advancing further, especially low-tier and mid-tier members.
Seeing someone come out of nowhere, claiming to be a core tier member was very disturbing.
"Mae, please tell me you're joking?" Anne stunned voice could be heard.
Mae shook her head, "No, even my parent agreed to it."
Anne and Lina looked at Devon with pitiful eyes, knowing his life would be miserable here. Every day will be a battle for him trying to survive.
"Okay, okay, enough with the eye you are giving him," Mae said, she, of course, knew what was going through the mind of the ladies and while it was indeed true, she wasn't going to leave the kid alone.
Devon's heart throbbed when he saw how the girls were staring at him.
"Anyway later girls, I have to take him to his room," Mae said, dragging Devon away with her.
After some minutes, they arrived at what seemed to be a housing estate still in that same main compound. They were houses on both the left and right sides of the estate.
Mae went to the 43rd room on the left side with Devon following behind her and pushed the room door open.
"This will be your new home, Aiden!"
The house had a living room and two bedrooms. The living room was pretty big, maybe the biggest room in the house. The celestial energy here was superb, even a pig could become a God.
"Now for the do's and don't of All Heaven Alliance and also the benefit a core tier member gets."
After hours of talking and talking about the rules of the Alliance, Mae finally left the room.
"Finally there is some peace urgh." Devon laid on the bed with his eyes closed enjoying the cool breeze that was entering through the window.
"DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Congratulation for completing the First Main task. Reward time."
He smiled when he heard reward time.
"Level increased to Level 1."
Devon fell down from the bed when he saw the reward he was given, so you mean all my hard work was for just a level increase just one.
"Main task: Read at least fifty books in All Heaven Alliance."
