[Third Person POV]
Michelle and Cary were a bit taken back when Ryujin said that he wanted to help Leo for money. Cary was also thinking that Ryujin decided to help his father for something in return but not money. He wasn't disappointed just shocked.
"So how much do you want?" Michelle asked Ryujin immediately. She wanted Ryujin to cure Leo as fast as he could.
"I will tell you later on but first can I check his condition?"
Michelle moved out of her way and gave him permission to check Leo. Ryujin went towards Leo. Leo's eyes were open. He hadn't fallen asleep. He could probably hear what they were talking about.
Ryujin had already been using his sixth sense to examine Leo. He knew that Leo wouldn't survive to see another day so he had to cure him as fast as he could.
Ryujin used his Nagis eye to see the flow of mana in Leo's body.
'How is his internal organs this messed up?'
Leo on the putside was perfectly fine. He didn't lose a single bit of muscle and looked as if he was not sick. However,his internal system was far from good. Every thing was a whole new mess.
Ryujin looked at Michelle.
"I am going to need your help as well."
Michelle steadily walked beside Ryujin.
"What do I need to do?"
"Hmm.. His internal system is a lot worse than I imagined it to be. If things go like this he won't survive for another day."
Tears started to dwell in Michelle eyes. Cary also couldn't look straight at his father.
"Don't worry. We can cure him. All you need to do is pour half of your mana in his body when I tell you to. This must be precise process. I hope you can do it."
Michelle gained some hope. She was ready to do anthing.
"But how do you know what to do?"
'Shit. I didn't think about that.'
"Um..that. Ehhh. I read it in a book."
"What? Are you kidding with-"
"Lets not waste out time talking. Every second is crucial for us now."
Ryujin was quick to change the topic.
Ryujin original plan was was going to be simple. Ryujin would erase the disease and the impure mana using Kairos and then Michelle would pour some mana. He could give the mana himself but he didn't want them to know about Ryujin's full potential.
But now seeing how fuck*d Leo was he decided to use Kairos and use healing magic as well.
'I didn't want to reveal this much.'
"Lets get started now."
Michelle nodded. Cary looked at the sky and started praying.
Ryujin moved his hand towards Leo. He stopped right above Leo's stomach. Gold colored stting started to form on Ryujin's fingers. The strings slowly moved and then penetarted Leo's clothes and stomach.
Michelle was impressed by his technique. His control and his mana flow was extraordinary for his age. Specially, the purity of his mana was astounding.
The gold string moved towards everypart of Leo's body. The string was there to heal the injuries and pull the disease towrads a particular spot so he could erase it in a single move.
Ryujin started sweating and blood were coming out of his ears. Cary wanted to intervene but Michelle stopped him.
'How can a kid like him have this much control over his powers and endure such pain?'
Ryujin looked at Leo.
"Mr Leo. Your chest is going to hurt a lot now. Blink twice if you think you are ready."
Leo blinked twice. He couldn't speak properly because of his condition.
The gold string moved towrads Leo's chest.
Leo's whole body started shaking because of the pain.
'What is this pain? I have never felt this. My whole chest is burning. I want to kill myself so I can end this pain.'
Ryujin was also quick. As soon as he pulled the disease towards his chest, Ryujin used Kairos and erased it .
It only took five second to erase the disease but fo Leo it felt like a decade of pain and suffering.
"Mrs Michelle,now."
Michelle quickly started to pour mana onto Leo's body. After five minutes Ryujin asked her to stop.
Ryujin sat on the bed. He took a tissue and wiped the blood coming from his ears.
"How are you feeling Mr Leo?"
Leo moved his hand. He could now feel his hands and legs. He could feel his voice coming out.
" I owe you one now."
Michelle started to cry profoundly. She went towards Ryujin and hugged him tightly.
"I am sorry for doubting you. Thank you! I don't know how I will repay you."
Ryujin gave a small chuckle and said
"Of course by giving me some money!"
"Haha!"
Michelle also let put a small laugh.
Cary also hugged Ryujin.
"Thank you! I don't know what to say other than thank you ."
Ryujin patted his back .
"Its fine Cary and let go of me,you are going to crush my ribs."
Michelle and Cary then gave a small hug to Leo.
"I told you that I would live." Leo wiped tears off of both Cary's and Michelle's face.
Michelle kissed Leo on his cheekss. Leo patted Cary's head.
"Welcome back my husband."
"Welcome back father."
"Sorry,to ruin your family moment but the work is not done yet."
Leo looked at Ryujin.
"Am I still sick?"
"No! Everything is cured just something else is left to do. Cary can you go out of the room for now?"
Cary didn't question Ryujin. How could he question the person who saved his father? Cary went out of the room.
"Why did Cary have to go out?"
Michelle asked Cary. Cary was part of the family so it was fine for him to listen.
Ryujin looked at Leo and Michelle.
" My original idea was to use my Divine Ability to erase the disease in your body but when I actually sense- I mean examined your body it was much worse."
Michelle asked Ryujin in a worried tone.
"What was it?"
" It was black magic."
Leo and Michelle were shocked. They didn't want to believe in Ryujin but after all he did for them they knew he wasn't lying.
" Because it was black magic nobody could heal it because the black magic that was used on you countered every spell except my Divine Ability. I have countered this type of black magic but the one used one your body was a hundred times worse."
"If I used my Divine Ability without healing you first then you would immediately die because of your internal injuries."
The black magic Ryujin was talking about was the magic used in Anna's wand.
Leo frowned.
'How could I let my guard down?'
"Do you have any idea who did this?"
"It is probably one of the Oppressors."
Ryujin decided to tell them the truth. There was no point in hiding it.
"I hope you won't tell about this to anyone."
Leo nodded.
"You have my word but we haven't discussed your reward."
"Ohh..that! Just donate some money to an orphanage. I don't need it."
Michelle stood up. To her Ryujin now was like her own son. She was extremely grateful.
"Lets go to out treasury. I will give whatever item you want."
"No! I don't want it."
Michelle was surprised. To reject a gift from someone was considered rude but she didn't think of that.
"You can even get an S-rank item."
"No! I don't need it."
Leo also couldn't comprehend Ryujin's behaviour. Sometimes he asked for money but when you offered him he wouldn't take it.
Leo could also see Ryujin's eyes when he was treating Leo. Ryujin didn't use Nagis eyes continuously as his eye color would change and he didn't want anyone to know so he would use it. Ryujin used it for a second and then turned it off but Leo saw it. The eyes of the beast were quick to catch the change in Ryujin's eyes.
Leo decided not to tell about it to anyone to respect Ryujin's privacy.
'The red and yellow color in his eyes. Hmm.. So the mighty clan lives on.'
"I should go now."
Ryujin sat up from his seat.
"Have something and stay here today. We just can't let our saviour go enpty handed."
"Im sorry Mrs Michelle. I would love to saty but I to go. I have some work to do as well."
Michelle was sad that Ryujin decided to go. She also couldn't force him to stay.
"Lets have a meal together next time."
Ryujin said with a smile on his face.
Leo and Michelle felt warmth when they saw the smile on his face.
"Ok."
Ryujin wnet out of the room. He also said good bye to Cary and the head butler drove him to the teleportation gate.
Cary came back to the room. He was happy and giddy.
He looked at his father. Leo was thinking about something. Even his mother was thinking something.
Cary asked both.
"What are you giys thinking?"
"Nothing."
Michelle was quick to dismiss her thoughts.
Leo looked at the ceiling.
" I wonder what your friend had gone through to smile so brightly and have such warmth in his eyes."
"He is too kind as well."
Michelle added.
Ryujin's smile and eyes were still lingering in both of their mind.
"What do you mean by that? Isn't he just happy?"
Leo shook his head.
"You see son! Sometimes the brightest of smile don't come from people that are happiest."
Cary couldn't understand what his father was saying.
"Then why do you think Ryujin smiled like that?"
Leo looked at Cary.
"Son the world is cruel. Some people face the worst and they don't want others to feel what they felt.The preetiest eyes have cried the most tears. The brightest smile hide the deepest secrets and the kindest of hearts have felt the most pain."
