The dark room was the back seat in the car covered in special mana to hide things, the car was running at a high speed.
"W... What!! I'm being sold now? I thought it would be yesterday!" Zeno panicked as he thought he was being sold off.
"Calm down you little boy... Don't make soo much of a fuss." Grandpa Hyun's voice came from outside.
"Grandpa??! What the hell are you doing with me?" Zeno was confused tk fins himself with grandpa Hyun.
"I'm not with you, you are with me." Grandpa Hyun released the mana and so did the covered vanished.
"What do you mean..." Ze I couldn't get a head or tail of what was going on.
"Listen up kid." Grandpa Hyun took a deep breath and started marketing what happened on his birthday.
"When the preparations for your birthday were going on I installed special tanks in the main hall, and I also mixed some Temazepam in every food item, it is a medicine which makes you fall asleep for a long time. When everyone fell asleep I picked you up and released all the sleeping gas in the main hall, so even if someone woke up they will fall asleep." Grandpa Hyun decided to speed up and get out of the Flare Continent as fast as possible.
"You really..." Zeno couldn't believe what his grandpa had just done, he thought he is done for sure and his life never is his anymore.
"Here's the plan kiddo, first we will go and meet the ruler of the content of Darkness, she will help us to get some shelter because out of all ten continents she is among the few rulers who can rival your father's strength, I haven't contacted her but she knows me pretty well." Grandpa Hyun kept on speeding up, he didn't want to get caught.
"Hmm." Zeno patiently heard what grandpa wanted to say.
"Then we will try to live over there, simple isn't it?" Grandpa Hyun gave a smile to Zeno, ut was enchanting and gave them a ray of hope to Zeno.
"Grandpa..." Zeno was truly happy this was the first time someone was ready to give their life for him.
"Zeno dismiss Millieous, make sure not to summon him in front of anyone except me, they might be your father's spy, and a Blackconda is rare and is easily spotted in the crowd.
"Ok, grandpa." Zeno closed his eyes and started mumbling down his mantras, and soon Millieous vanished back to the nesting area.
After an hour of driving, they finally reached the borders of the continent.
"The guards will open the door on seeing yh3 Dane symbol on our car." Grandpa Hyun waited for five minutes but still, no one contacted his radio.
"This is strange..." Grandpa Hyun started wondering why they weren't opening the door.
"What is strange?" A heavy voice came from behind the mist, that voice being heavy was calm as if it was patient.
"Who's there?" Grandpa Hyun took out his Mana sword and faced it in the direction of the voice.
"Father can't even recognise my voice..." As the mist cleared a bug figure wearing right red robes and Master engraved on it stood in front of them.
"T... Taurus how did you!" Grandpa Hyun was truly surprised to find Taurus out of the blue.
"You forgot about my Infinite Eye ability?" Taurus walked forward as his glowing red filled with red mana and red aura.
"But how..." Grandpa Hyun still couldn't get what he was trying to say.
"The whole Dane palace is my eyes, I can create any number of eyes and place them wherever I want, nothing can be hidden from me, im the real master of the Dane family."
"Impossible... You mastered it!!" Grandpa Hyun couldn't believe Taurus was able to master The Infinite Eye, an ability which was rarest among all, a treasure a boon was given only to selected ones, and Taurus was born with it, but its drawback is it takes decades just to summon one extra eye.
"I did, after all, im Master Taurus, I can battle all the spacial beasts alone!" Taurus took a deep breath and jumped dom grandpa Hyuns car making it go boom!
"I saw you placing all those traps, I could have imprisoned you that very moment, but... I knew if I punish you for plans it won't give you a severe punishment, so I wanted for you to commit it..." Master Robert closed his eyes and started mumbling an awful lot of mantras.
"That's a..." Grandpa Hyun took a step back when he saw a massive amount of flame summoned in his palm.
"The Sacred Fure Of Justice." Taurus walked toward grandpa Hyun and stared him in the eyes.
"Hold it." He placed the fire in Grandpa Hyun's palm, and the moment he kept it, it started burning his palm slowly but steadily.
"I will ask 1 question if you live you die, if your day is true and it is against our set of rules you die." Taurus shuffled his pocket and took out a scroll of documents.
"This one, It says when Zeno turns eighteen and can't learn a second he has to be sold off, and you won't interfere with it, why did you interfere?" Taurus started goading in grandpa Hyuns eyes, and there was not even the slightest glimpse of sympathy for his won father.
"I didn't want him to be sold..." The flame in his palm quickly covered his whole body burning off all of his clothes.
"Grandpa!!!" Zeno ran towards grandpa Hyun only to find him being burnt alive.
"Zeno..." Grandpa Hyun could not feel his body anymore, the pain grew stronger and stronger and soon all his senses became numb.
"Grandpa!! No, what has happened to you..." Zeno cried out for help, there were many people around but Taurus stopped them all from reaching grandpa Hyun.
At last, the only thing Zeno could do was watch his precious grandpa burn to crisp.
"Father why..." Zeno couldn't understand the reason why his father was being like that.
Taurus walked to Zeno and pulled from by his collar, "Your mom and sister have to give you a starting gift before you are sold."
Taurus didn't even care to take a glimpse of his burnt father.
