Chapter 8 - Fermin City.. The Lark Family

As he was flying towards Fermin City he called out to the person flying alongside him

"Nala" 

"Yes?" 

"Are you from the God Realm?" asked Odell

"Yes, are you also from there?" replied Nala

"No" said Odell

"Then are you from the Immortal Realm?" asked Nala

"No but one day I will tell you where I'm from" said Odell with a smile

"Okay….so why did you left Randal alive when you could of finished him with the rest" asked Nala 

"Because it wouldn't be interesting otherwise now would it" Odell said with a smile that's not a smile

"Hmm don't smile like that it's kind of creepy" said Nala while showing a weird expression

"Is it but I was told I had a devilish smile" said Odell while acting slightly shocked

"You sure they didn't say devilishly creepy or something along those lines" said Nala 

"Hmm nope other than my siblings who said it'll cause problems for me but I haven't had any yet" said Odell

"In more ways than one that's for sure" muttered Nala

"What's that Nala" asked Odell

"Oh um nothing so are we heading to the Lark's Family or" asked Nala as she changed the subject

"Not yet I want to check something out first" said Odell

"Is it where you decided to massacre the Silent Killers entire Organization" said Nala

"Yup seems I found something that's starting to become entertaining there" said Odell

"I see and what's that" asked Nala as she thought about going back there like it wasn't a big deal

"You'll see once we're there" said Odell

"Okay" replied Nala

As they were having this kind of conversation while heading to the once Silent Killers main branch. In the manor of the Lark Family within a private meeting room for the family head and elders of the family. They were listening to what Randal Lark, the person who Odell let live, was reporting after calling them over.

"Do you know who he is" asked an elder of the family

"No Third Uncle Ray" replied Randal

"So you said he killed everyone and left you alive right" asked an elder of the family who is his brother and the second after him 

"Yeah Matt" said Randal as he wasn't too fond of his second brother to much as he also wanted to be the head of the family before their father chose Randal and not because he was the oldest 

"Hehe I say Randal aren't you exaggerating a bit too much? One young man who looked to be in his late teens came into the main branch of the Silent Killers Organization and killed everyone while being unnoticed until he spoke to everyone in that room. And he has some treasures on him that have some pretty powerful skills enchanted into them. Did I get that all right Randal" said Matt sarcastically with a smirk

"Tsk, yes you can believe or not but all I know is that he's dangerous and I don't know if he'll come after me and finished me off even though he let me live" gritting his teeth as he said that last part

"So have any clue as to why he let you live" asked his third brother who's also an elder of the family

"Probably because he's afraid of our family and that's going to be his worst mistake" said Randal as he narrowed his eyes from remembering what happened

"Are you sure it's because of our family because according to you he had no facial change when knowing what family you're apart of and letting you live has another purpose than that" said another elder who was more of an schemer type of person but only to enemies of his and the family

"I don't know maybe he is also after them, second uncle Dax" said Randal thinking about why they decided to take action against the Porter Family now

"Hmm but still only because of that he let you live I'm say something isn't right about that" said second uncle Dax

"Maybe he used up the skills in his treasures so as to not alert Randal about it he let him go or else Randal could of just killed him and the girl named Nala that you mentioned she lead him to the Porter Family couple" said his fourth uncle 

"Something isn't right about that if he has the Porters than me being alive is of no use to him so what's his angle why keep me alive" said Randal with furrowed eyebrows 

"Maybe he's not worry about us at all" said second uncle Dax after a little pause for thinking

"Why do you think he isn't worry about us for do you think he has a strong family background because it doesn't matter since our main family is in the Immortal Realm so these weak Mortal Realm families aren't a problem let alone some of the families who are subsidiaries of their Immortal Realm main families compare to us" said the second brother Matt

"But that could also be the case but I don't think so" said his first uncle who is more of an analyzer 

"What do you mean Francis" said third uncle Ray

"I mean it could be a possibility but since we confirmed that the higher star rank families, clans and guilds won't bother with the Mortal Realm maybe some low to mid stars might but not really so it must be that he's confident in his strength and his family in the realm" said first uncle Francis

"Then he has misplaced his confidence because soon I'll torturel them all and have the women as my plaything before killing them just you wait your time will come" said Randal gritting his teeth with narrowed eyes filled with killing intent

And as he said that they heard the door open and at first they were on guard but soon they saw who had come in. It was Richard Lark Randal's father and the previous head of the Lark Family

"Father so you're finally out of seclusion and you reached the middle layer of the Mana Immortal Realm" said Randal as he was shock and happy to see his father 

"Yes but I heard that you have a problem you the head of the family can't solve" said Richard in a slightly disappointed tone as he made his way to where Randal was seated and just looked at everyone but said nothing. 

"Yes father, it's….." he proceeded to tell his father what he told everyone else in the room 

"Hmm I see and you think he knows something about the seven cosmic beads" said Richard

"I don't know because he didn't need to let me leave without trying to get information out of me so it's bizarre" said Randal

"Maybe he knows something about them" said second uncle Dax

"But how do you know he knows or was there because of that, it seems he was there for the Porters and nothing else" said Randal's third brother

"Because he was there for them specifically which makes me think he knows why we went after the Porters, since we were told they had two beads which were the ice and fire beads, I think he was there for information about where it was too" said the fourth uncle

"Maybe fourth uncle Blaine but it doesn't matter why he was there" said Randal

"You're right Randal it doesn't because he won't live long for us to ask why" said Matt

"Father what do you think" asked Randal's third brother

"Danny" said Richard to Randal's third brother

"Yes father?" said Danny

"Gather information about this guy, Randal do you know his name and how he looks" said Richard

"Yes father I heard he tell the girl his name was Odell" said Randal

"Then Danny" said Richard as he looked back to him

"Yes father I will get it ready as soon as possible" said Danny

"By the way, where are your sons, why are they not here" asked Richard to his brothers as they each had a son while his third brother had two sons. Three of his brothers have daughters as well which are the third, fourth and fifth brothers. 

"They are at the Porter Family's manor looking for the beads as we haven't got any information about them from those two we had in prison and now that they were saved we can only do that" said second uncle Dax

"And our sons went to handle the company after we were called for this urgent meeting" said third uncle Ray as he was talking about his oldest son and first uncle Francis son

"Did you send anyone to see if that is still intact" asked Richard to Randal

"No father not yet but…." said Randal but was interrupted

"Oh so you do know something about that.. interesting… Mind if I intervene and is this yours you don't have to try to get information about me when I'm here" said Odell with a smile towards everyone as he came through the door nonchalant like he was having a stroll in the park

"Who are you and how did you get in here" asked third uncle Ray

"Hmm weren't you trying to gather information about me just now or did I not say that I was the one clearly… hm what do you think Nala did I not say it right" said Odell as he asked Nala about it as she was behind him 

"Haaa yes you said it right don't worry" said Nala as she rolled her eyes at how sarcastic he was being

"You are…" before Matt could finish they heard Randal said while stuttering

"Y-yyou w-why are y-you here?" 

"You know who he is Randal" said Richard as he narrowed his eyes at Odell as he saw that he couldn't feel any mana from him which made him cautious as he didn't even notice when he came in and he saw as his third son Danny who he sent out to gather information was behind them with fear on his face making him wonder. 

"Oh isn't it that little rabbit I let go… nice to see you again hehe" said Odell as he chuckle while remembering Randal

"You, I don't know how you got here but now that you're here, you won't be leaving here alive" said third uncle Ray

As he said that he dashed towards Odell and when he was about to use a skill as he brought his fist up to punch his hand started to slowly fade away as all of them watched in horror as he yelled

"N-no w-what's going on why is… is it your doing… no brothers save mee" as he was fading away 

The room became silent as he faded out of existence and no one knew what or how it happened but they were quite scared by this scene. Odell who did it didn't have a shed of emotion after he killed him but Nala was frightened with fear as she didn't know what happened. 

It looked like he just ceased to exist and no one did anything since she didn't feel any mana fluctuations. Neither did anyone in the room, so it made it all the more terrifying. Odell saw there expression, smiled then said

"He should've waited I wanted to let you all go together oh well...now let's finish this up I'm not here for small talk" looking towards Richard 

"Then what are you here for since you already killed my brother" said Richard

"Oh so you know it was my doing good this makes it's easier" said Odell smiling

"What does" said Richard as he circulated his mana to use a skill as he didn't understand how his brother died. He was ready to strike Odell down at a moment's notice.

Odell hearing him and seeing as he was secretly circulating his mana to use a skill just smiled and said 

"Making the Lark Family disappear from both the Immortal and Mortal Realms" 

"What?... How do you….."
