"I'm bored but they're the ones who made beads filled with pure cosmic mana. Well it's not like it can harm us or anything but might tick it off again" said Odell
"What are you going on about?" asked Nala as she calmed down after seeing all the Lark's in the room disappeared
[I don't even know why I'm surprised after what he did when we met] thought Nala
"It's nothing just haaa nothing" said Odell
"Okay anyway what are you going to do about the rest of the family there are some who don't know anything about what's going on behind the scenes" asked Nala curiously
"It's that what you think well I'll let some go so that the kids won't suffer but if they turn out like the rest I'll erase the whole bloodline out of existence" said Odell with an expressionless face looking at Nala
"I-I see d-don't joke about t-that" said Nala while stuttering after gulping from what she heard
With a slight smile he just turned around and left the room
Seeing him leave and not saying it's a joke made her shiver a little but soon calmed down then left the room too. Seeing as he walked through the Lark's manor as if it was natural, she was a little bewildered but let it go as they strolled out of the residence. Seeing as they haven't passed anyone after coming she becomes even more confused until Odell answered her without her asking yet
"I just put them all to sleep so don't worry about them we're going back I wasted enough time as it is" said Odell as he thought about the delicious food he'll have once he gets back
"I see but I didn't care just for the ones who are truly innocent" said Nala
"Hmm but are anyone truly innocent maybe but that's up for debate"said Odell
As they both flew into the air even though it's a rule not to fly in city limits but since no one could detect them they went back to Autumn Port City. After a few minutes Odell widened his eyes after remembering something important
[I forgot I can just use a portal damn I was too busy trying to seem all mysterious back there I totally forgot]
"Ahem how about I just bring us there directly" said Odell to Nala
"Huh what do you mean by that" asked Nala
"Stop and I'll show you" said Odell with a grin
"Show me wha…"
Before she could ask what it was she saw as a portal open in front of them and inside she could see a huge mansion on the other side which shocked her
"I-is that a p-portal" asked Nala stuttering even though she knows the answer just couldn't believe it since making portals are extremely hard the Mortal Realm and portal needs lots of mana in order to use them so anyone who could make one are extremely valuable as well as dangerous. The person in front of her is one if not the most dangerous person no matter how weird his personality is.
[If the people who are behind what's going on in the God Realm were to know that someone in the Mortal Realm has the ability to use a portal which is stable and is able to transverse long distances easier than I couldn't imagine what they'll do but I know one thing for sure is that I hope they don't find out because I'm afraid they'll be killed not realizing they went after someone they should never had]
"Yeah it's no big deal though" said Odell
"N-no b-big deal if those people were to know about you…"
"They'll what we both know it'll be in their best interest if they don't" said Odell
"T-that's true well I was told before they did had some people who could use portals too but they couldn't keep it open for too long as it uses a lot of mana but looking at how yours hasn't disappeared yet I can assume you have a lot of mana" said Nala
"Does it hmm, haven't notice, well anyway let's go dinner should still be warm" said Odell
"Are you letting me stay the night at your place" asked Nala as she assumed she will be staying in a hotel for awhile
"Of course you, do you think I'll let the first princess of the God Realm sleep in a hotel?" said Odell with a smile
"Don't smile it creeps me out but are you sure I can" said Nala
"What but how could it be creepy? It's a genuine smile. I don't give a lot of those to people who I don't find interesting and yes we welcome you so it's not a problem" replied Odell
"You must take pride in your smile a lot" said Nala
"No I don't anyway let's go I don't want my food to go cold" said Odell pulling Nala into the portal
"Wait I haven't agreed yet" said Nala as she was directly pulled close to the portal
"Hmm you right but it's fine to agree you know" said Odell
"But I…."
"Just come and stay for a few days and if you think it's uncomfortable you are free to get your own place or a hotel room okay"
"Fine just for a few days okay"
"Hehe, was that so hard now come on no more stalling"
Saying that he pulled her through the portal and even though she has gone through a portal before she still hasn't gotten used to that feeling of her body breaking down, traversing at an unknown speed and then reemerging on the other side of the portal. She could now see how huge the mansion truly was up close but it didn't surprise her as where she lives is even bigger.
"Welcome your highness to our, the Black family, humble home. I hope you can enjoy your stay" said Odell smiling
"Tsk just call me as you been calling me no need for that I'm more of the free bird in the family who doesn't like being tied down or praised by my last name and who my parents are" said Nala with a slight frown
"Hehe I know I can tell by glance what type of person you are but enough about that let's go in" said Odell as he led Nala inside
Going inside she felt like the place was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside but she didn't think much as she followed him into the dining room as they weren't gone too long and got back faster than expected. She saw a beautiful catkin mother and her daughter who's about seven or eight years old with silver hair and a cute innocent face.
Next she saw the Porters and their twins. He told her when they went to get the couple not to say anything about her once being a part of the Silent Killers Organization as they wouldn't take too kindly to that. Even though she didn't participate in that operation, she still was a member.
She only took missions that weren't against those who were complete scums and to gather information about that group who imprisoned her family. He told her he'll help her out with that but what he meant was he was going to let it run its course without much help from him as he wanted to see what all they have prepared and if it'll need all of them to intervene.
Personally, he wants his disciples to get strong enough to do something about it as he could end it now if he wants. As of right now he hasn't found the other disciples yet and yes all of them were already chosen to become his disciples. He's just testing them to see if he chose right.
Odell, looking at all the delicious food prepared in front of him, almost sat down and went straight to eat before introducing Nala to the mother and daughter pair. He cleared his throat then said
"Cecilia, Lily this is Nala, Nala this is Cecilia and her daughter Lily" as he introduces the three to each other
"Hi I'm Cecilia Silverten and she's Lily Siverten it's nice to meet you Miss Nala" said Cecilia why reaching her hand out to shake her hand
"It's nice to meet you two also" replied Nala as she shook Cecilia hand and smiled at Lily too
"And you already know Mr and Mrs Porter but these two are their son and daughter. Lex and Sam Porter" said Odell as he introduced her to the other two kids as she met the parents already
"Nice to meet you two also I'm Nala" said Nala as she smiled at the two who were shy and hid behind their parents
"Looks like they're quite shy in front of new people" said Nala smiling still
"Yeah they have been like that since they started walking and talking" said Mrs.Porter smiling at her kids as she told them it's fine
"Now that everyone has become acquaintances, it's time to eat, oh and by the way Cecilia could you prepare another room for Nala she'll be staying for a few days for now" said Odell
"Oh another guest, no problem I'll prepare it after dinner" replied Cecilia
"Thank you and you to Lily" said Odell as he saw as Lily was busy eating and not paying to much attention to anyone but from time to time she'll say something to the twins
"You're welcome big brother Dell" said Lily after swallowing her food
"Nala I will get into more of what we talked about earlier tomorrow okay but for now relax and enjoy Cecilia delicious cooking okay" saying that he started to gather what he wants to eat then began eating
"Yes then thank you for the food" as she began eating and being surprised at how delicious it was it was better than the cooks at the palace in the God Realm.
"Delicious right, no one could out cook our Cecilia too bad my brothers and sisters are busy they know they're missing out big time hehe" said Odell as he saw Nala reaction to the food
"Y-yeah it's honestly better than our cooks" said Nala
"Your cooks, is your family rich" asked Mr.Porter after hearing Nala saying that
"Hmm you could say that" said Nala to Mr. Porter
"Wow big sister you're from a rich family also" asked Lily
"Yeah" said Nala to Lily
"Cool, big brother Dell family is super rich too hehe" said Lily
"You mean our family Lily, you two are a part of the Blacks now remember" said Odell stopping then going back to eat
"Tehee I forgot sorry" sticking her tongue out at Odell after said that
"Now get back to eating before it gets cold, you all can talk about these things tomorrow" said Cecilia
"Okay" said everyone except for Odell and the twins as they were still eating
[I wonder what they want to use those beads for? I also want to know why the have that same formation underground in Fermin City. Well I found out naturally so no need to care. Oh and I just remembered those three should be back tomorrow] thought Odell going back to his new plate of food
Early the next morning, in the residence of the Lark family within an secret space.
An old man with a robust body and handsome looks as that of his sons and nephews. He after breaking through to the Sky Immortal Realm but through unconventional means so for a while he was stabilize and improving it.
Once he felt like he had done enough, he left the secret space. Walking out the he felt something amiss, he was confused that no one was around and it was way too quiet. He stroll around a little and saw some of his family members were sleeping and thought that the rest were busy with finishing up the Porters.
Their goal was the seven cosmic beads and he found out they had two but didn't know where. Heading to the meeting hall he past a room where the life crystals of every family member were located. Noticing that something was wrong he went in and saw as their was a lot of crystals that were destroyed.
Seeing what it meant and then looking at who it belongs to made him both angry and surprise. He thought to himself
[What happened, who did it, why so many members and how come no one knew about this]
Thinking about it more he realized something about the people in the rooms so he went back but didn't find anything unusual. When he noticed how no one woke up even after he deliberately let them feel his presence but no one moved.
"It looks like someone made them sleep and it's a slightly powerful skill but not strong enough for me to cancel" muttered the old man
Using his mana to cancel out the skill with some ease he watched as they woke up with confused looks and surprised as they saw their grandfather out of his seclusion.
"Grandfather what's going on and you're finally out of your seclusion" said a young man in his mid 20s
"Yes I just finished breaking through and stabilizing my realm but that's not why I woke you up Tain" said the old man
"What's wrong grandfather" said Tain
"You all had been put under a skill that made you sleep but I woke you all up because I want to know who did it and why" said the old man with narrowed eyes
"Huh we were but we didn't feel any mana being used though but who is so bold enough to do that to us" said a middle aged man
"That's what I want to know plus that person or group killed my sons and nephews but it looks like two of my nephews are still alive along with everyone here" said the old man with a slight killing intent
"W-what did you say grandfather our family members were killed and it happened here but h-how?" said the middle aged man
"That's what I'm going to find out, Kite, gather everyone into the main hall okay" said the old man
"Yes father but what are we going to do" said Kite
He was one of the three brothers of Richard that isn't an elder because they weren't as talented in cultivation so Odell didn't bother with them.
"That's obvious find out if we have any traitors and if we do, find out who they work for then kill them" said the old man with his voice filled with killing intent
"Yes father"
