Chapter 19 - Family Meeting - 1

Watching the wooden splinters slip through Zale's fingers and fall on the ground the old men were first puzzled and then Xander said" BOY, are you taunting us that we have become old and are weak chickens?" while glaring at Zale.

"Yeah, boy. You dare to taunt The Devil Alchemist you got some guys kid."Added Ardon from the side with a raised eyebrow.

"Sh*t! That's in the game idiot. You wouldn't be really imagining yourself as such in real life are you?"Said Xander, taking a dumbfounded look at his friend who is confusing his game identity with real life.

"Who are you saying is an idiot? I remember someone once died because of starvation!" Retorted Ardon slamming his palm on the table glaring at Xander.

Zera's lips twitched as she watched the two old men go on with their bickering again, forgetting the topic. Pulling the sleeve of her father Zera said," Hmm, dad how about you let mom do it. That would be more impactful or else we might have to watch them bicker for who knows how long."

Zale raised his eyebrows at his daughter's suggestion and took a look at the old men, then nodded to Sylvia.

"Hey, grandpas, mom got something to show you," shouted Zera clapping her hands to get their attention.

As they turned their heads back to Sylvia, she just broke away the corner of the 5-inch thick wooden table making it look like breaking a thin piece of ice, and then crushed it in her palm.

As the wooden splinters fall only gasps followed by heavy breathing can be heard in the room as the family of three just looked at the dumbfounded parents and grandparents with smiles on their faces as this is the reaction they have been waiting for.

"Wait! Sylvia, you didn't do experimentation on yourselves during the time you guys were out of reach, did you? Can you imagine what kind of side effects these strength-enhancing drugs can have!" Bellowed Ardon, as he got up and took a look at his daughter's hand and confirmed that she was not injured in the slightest, not even a scratch.

"Yes dear, tell dad if you do and we can remedy this if you took them recently."Added Kate, with concern from the side.

'I wonder how they would react if I squished the spoon into a ball. Let's do it and hope they won't get a heart attack.'

"Hey, grandpa! Look here I got something to show you." Shouted Zera, disrupting the scolding Sylvia is receiving while waving a spoon in her hand at Ardon.

As Ardon looked at his granddaughter shouting from the side, his pupils almost shrank into slits as he watched his cute little Zera easily squish the metallic spoon into a ball effortlessly.

"You B*ASTARD! You even gave your daughter those inexplicable drugs. Are you going to ruin her? Come here and see if I don't beat you up." Bellowed Ardon as he ran Sylvia waving his fists as if he isn't going to stop until he beat her.

"Wait, Ardon. Give her a chance to explain….."

"Wait, husband! I am sure she has a rea….."

All of them fell silent as they watched Sylvia, who is about to be smashed by a fist is now standing at the other side of the table in the blink of an eye and they couldn't even see her shadow during the whole process leaving them speechless.

Calming down after being shocked at how inhumanely fast his daughter is Ardon also regained his demeanor of the chairman of an international multi-billion door group and asked Sylvia with a serious expression taking a look at his newfound son in law who is now feeding his granddaughter peeled oranges without a change in expression during the whole time." What's going on with your strength and speed? And also Zera, is it a gene mutation?"

Taking a look at her husband and daughter, who just pushed the whole explaining process to her, Sylvia depressedly looked back at her parents and inlaws who are all now looking at her with a serious expression and said," The things I am about to tell now are much more than that and you can say it's evolution instead of mutation. Dad didn't you keep wondering why there are a bunch of new plants and mutations discovered every other week. The answer is simple: our planet is going through the transformation process and is evolving into a planet containing aura and due to this aura there are new mutations in plants, animals, and all beings, whether animate or inanimate."

"Just like plants we can also absorb and use this aura to evolve our body just like me or Zera just now. There's more to this dad and I think it's safer to talk somewhere else." Sylvia ended while taking a look at the surroundings and the window.

As everyone in the room is experienced people who are in a high position for quite a long time they immediately realized the importance of the matter and with tacit understanding, they didn't ask any more questions as they finished the food, paid the bill, and calmly let for Bladestorms family's house which is located on cliff few miles away from the city.

Zera watched the surroundings curiously as they near the house where she will be staying for the next couple of months.

Gradually a beautiful European manor with gardens full of flowers stretching till the small forest to the side and a fountain before the gate with the ocean as a background making the whole thing quite beautiful.

Entering the house Zera was immediately attracted by the complete suits of armor placed in the hall and quickly ran to them and started examining as she had never seen this kind of primitive armor before.

Watching his little granddaughter looking at the armor with enthusiasm, Ardon rubbed her head standing behind her and said," Does it look good? These were worn by my grandfather when he was young and went to war but now they are just getting rust being on display. Anyway, do you want to go and play or join us in the study?"

'I might as well stroll around, it's going to take quite a while for mom to explain and answer their questions anyway.'

"I will look around grandpa. You guys can discuss your adult matters." Said Zera with a smile as she waved her hands and ran out of the house.

"Haha..kids." Chuckled Ardon and shook his head quite happy with his newfound granddaughter.

"Dad, let's wait till my brother and Zale's brother reach here so that I can explain to everyone at a time." Said Sylvia, putting down the mobile confirming that her brother is on the way.
