'Thankfully, this ended very well.'
Viktor grabbed the crying guardian by his hair and said, "You're more than a billion years old, aren't you? I guess it's time for you to get down from the king's throne. Nothing will happen in four thousand years. So, rest assured.
Adonis came closer to him and said, "Master, it's been almost 10 minutes since you escaped from your duty. Leave the uninvited guest so I can take care of him."
Viktor looked at his watch and then stepped into the air. "So this is the power of a king fragment. I'll make good use of it. Adonis, take care of him and make sure to introduce him to Rae. Rae will be very surprised to see him."
"Understood."
A few days later after the battle…
After Viktor became a team leader, an incident occurred in his distant future. The future was shrinking and thousands of different ways were shrinking into hundreds. All of those paths were leading Viktor to a huge battle with Elesis so he had to skip his duty by putting all the work on Welis.
She was a little annoyed but when she saw the expression on Viktor's face, she held back her anger and did what she was told.
It's been a week since Viktor entered his study room and didn't come out.
Knock..knock..knock…
"Master, I will come in now." Adonis opened the door to Viktor's study room and saw he was sitting in the same position for 7 days. He was super busy reviewing everyone's future.
"Master, here's your early morning tea."
Viktor glanced at the cup and said, "Add more sugar cubes. I want to eat something sweet."
Adonis was a little surprised to hear that because Viktor wasn't a fan of sweets. He prefers spicy foods over chocolates all the time so asking for sweets was something out of the blue.
"Master, are you feeling alright?"
"Yes, it's just my old mouth wants to eat something sweet after so long. I've been reading the goddess's record for so long. I spent 278 years inside my library searching for the perfect way to create something big."
"Master-_-, just how old are you now?"
"Me? Hehehe… that's a secret."
Viktor put this record on the table and took a cup of tea. Adonis sat beside him on his chair and also, took a cup of tea to start his day. "Master, how is the future?"
Viktor took the first sip of his tea by closing his eyes. He then said, "The future? It's alright. It's just the universe will shrink by 20%. Means, so many stars will disappear, go supernova, be eaten by blackholes and collide with each other. Since this milky way has the only planet that has humans on it, it won't get into any trouble even if it collides with the Andromeda galaxy. Earth will just simply pass through it."
"That's not what I meant," Adonis complained.
"Then, what?"
"Our future, is that alright?"
"Are you worried about that? Silly. We're alright in our future. We're all living our best there."
Viktor smiled and mumbled, 'We're all living a great life in the future, except for me.'
Viktor finished his morning cup of tea and said, "Adonis, I think you should pack your bags."
"Are we going somewhere, master?"
"Yes, we're finally going to Russia. A new family member will be added to our family list."
Viktor and Adonis both packed their bags and took a private jet for the first time. It was purchased by Adonis so Viktor was a little surprised. Since he always travels by teleportation or floating magic, he never took the airways in his life. So it was technically his first time getting on a private jet, not just any public transportation.
Adonis, who knew about Viktor's social media, took pictures of him and told him to post them on his account. But Viktor refused. So he took a different path and posted his picture on his own accounts.
"Hah… You'll never let me walk in peace on the street now. People will just gather around me when they see me."
"Master, it's a business strategy. People will look for the company if they look at your picture. They will search for it and think about investing so much money here."
Viktor sighed and said, "Do whatever you want." He then looked outside through the small window and saw the white crowds passing below.
Approximately 10 hours later in S.A. Pushkin Airport, Khimik, Russia.
The weather was gloomy and the sky was rumbling. Since August is known for the time of rainfall, the streets were wet. Adonis already prepared an umbrella underhanded and held it above Viktor's head to protect him from the rain.
"Master, the ride will be here soon. I guess they are late because of the rain."
"I think so too. Adonis, the rain will stop in 30 seconds. You can put away the umbrella."
'The weather will worsen at night. But the time isn't ripe. Mors isn't just asleep in the seal, he's cultivating there and waiting for someone to touch it. His powers have gradually weakened the seal so even if a human touches it, it will break. But from my prediction, nobody will casually go inside a highly radioactive area and look for a broken glass casually laying on the ground, covered in mud. It needs the physical touch of a human so it won't crack open.'
The ride came after 20 minutes in front of the airport. Adonis, who was in charge of managing their stay, sent a request to a politician to stay at his place for 4 days. Of course, the request was accepted and they were welcome in the house anytime they wanted.
The car stopped in front of a huge house. The house was guarded by mana users with mana guns and all of them were muscular, hitman-looking men. A man walked down from the second floor and said, "Welcome to my house, Sir North. And you must be the youngest one. Viktor E. North, correct?"
"You're absolutely correct. It's nice to meet you, Sir Alex."
"Hahaha!! Youngsters are very confident these days. Sir Adonis, please follow the servants to your room. You've travelled a long path to come here. Please rest for the day, we will take it at dinnertime."
"Sure."
Adonis and Alex shook hands and then he took Viktor to his room.
He closed the door and said, "Master, are you tired?"
Viktor jumped on the comfortable bed and said, "A little bored. Are you feeling alright? You look worried for some reason. Also, I want to know why you locked the door. I believe they gave you a separate room, right? Why are you here-_-?"
"I'm not worried, master. It's just the owner of the house is preparing night butterflies for us. Are you okay with it?"
Viktor smirked at him and said, "Why? Do you want to give it a shot? I bet he has prepared the hottest girl for you. It's almost time for your second season of the year, isn't it?"
"I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about you. I've never seen you take a girl in your room at night. Alex will send one to your room at night."
"Oh-_-. About that…"
Adonis raised his eyebrows and asked, "About that…?"
"I will put her to sleep. We will have a nice sleepover." Viktor smiled innocently at Adonis so he just dropped on the floor in frustration.
He said, "You're too soft, master."
Viktor laughed and then said, "He's insulting us, can't you tell?"
Adonis was taken aback by his words. "Alex is insulting us. There are countless tiny cameras in the guest room. He's probably thinking about cutting a blackmail deal with it. He didn't even realise that we're not some hybrid punk." Viktor smiled and said, "I can't wait to chew off his neck and swallow it. It must be very satisfying."
Adonis shook his head and said, "I apologise for not thinking about this, master. I will take care of it. Please rest until dinnertime. I will look into this matter." He then rushed out of the room and went straight to Alex's office to have a chat.
'He's pissed. And I'm sure he will replace Alex with a clone today and offer me his head.'
Both of them rested until 5 pm. The dining room was filled with delicious food. There were chairs for only three people so as planned, the three of them took their seats to have a meal.
Adonis was still holding his anger in front of him with a sweet smile.
"Sir Adonis, is the food your liking?"
Adonis nodded his head and said, "It's different from Korean and Vestrain food, also the food from Navaka. I've gotten pretty used to spicy food, thanks to Viktor. But it's good."
Alex then asked, "Vestrain? Is that a local town in your country? Hahahah! You're good at making jokes. No local food can be that good."
Viktor took the glass of wine and said, "Let's put that aside. How's your factory running? I heard you were fined by the government. After Putin's death, it has turned into a mess."
"Yes, he was actually killed by a dream clan assassin 2 years ago. Then the hybrid government took control of it. I'm not sure why the European hybrid association is declaring war, but I guess it's also related to the death of Putin."
"So we're expecting a third world war."
Alex was surprised to hear that from Viktor. But it wasn't entirely wrong so he said, "Please keep your voice down. Your family is a big figure, ruling almost 97% of the black market in Asia and Australia. Rumours can spread around at the speed of light. If you say something offensive, the press won't shut their mouth."
"It's true that we can't control the media. But you know, I believe that he was killed by someone from this household."
The pressure around them became intense. Adonis glanced to his left and saw an assassin using an invisibility spell, waiting to slice off their neck.
So he smiled and said, "Viktor, you don't talk rudely when you're visiting someone's house. Listen to your brother and finish your food."
'Eh? Look who's acting high and mighty. But I don't have any intention of causing a scene in the enemy's territory. I just want to rescue Mors and go back home.'
