As Samin stood with the chains that bounded him in place, the door to the room suddenly opened.
Crreeaak!
The door squiked loudly, as an old looking man with grey hair all over his head, and wrinkles on his face.
He had a sorrowful exppression on his face as he stared at the chained young man. He released a sigh of saddness, as he brought out a bronze key from his pocket.
The key looked ordinary. The only thing that made it worth mentioning was the red gem that was sitting at the center of the key, which gave it a different feel to that of a regular key.
The man than threw the key into the air.
As the key flew upwards, it then suddenly straightened itself in the air and began defying gravity by staying afloat on the air.
The key then began vibrating, as the red gem glowed brighter and brighter, creating some kind of red hue around the body of the key.
Then the chains that were holding Samin in place began to become brighter, as there were also other gems on them which began shining in harmony with the key.
Then..
Clank~
The key fell to the ground, soon followed by the chains.
chains fell off of Samin's hands with him having and exppression of pain as they fell off his hands.
Samin then looked up at the old man with zero exppression on his face.
" What do you want now old man?" Samin questioned, as he rubbed his wrist in pain, as it was bleeding profusely.
It turns out that the chains that bounded Samin in place a few seconds ago had spikes surrounding it. Meaning the spikes had penetrated into his wrist, making him feel pain when the cahin was also released from his hands.
The old man took in a deep breath, as he summoned up enough courage to spout out the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
" Your father said I should... retrieve you,"
Samin first of all put on a starnge look on his face before he smile like a regular person again," First of all, that man is not my father." Samin said with a menancing look. Since the day of the incident, he had never addressed that man as his father.
" Young master, wether you like it or not. He is your father, and would always be your fath-,"
" He is not my father!!" Samin exclaimed in an outrage.
" Would a father imprison his son for such an obvious incident?! Would a father chain his son with such horrific items that even true criminals do not deserve, actually even psychopaths should never experience this!" Samin said with heavy breaths that made the old man step back a little.
Samin inhaled deeply, as he returned back to his calm demeanor," now, second of all. Am I an item to that man that he told you to specifically use the word," retrieve" " Samin said, though, there was a hint of saddness in his eyes.
The old man had no words to say. He was only following orders, but at the same time, he does care a lot about Samin and felt bad for using retrieve for him like he was an item.
But he couldn't disobey the clan leader's wishes, so he had no choice but to use the word retrieve as the clan leader's had demanded.
" Young master, the master was clouded by anger, grief and sorrow at that time, so please try to forgive him, he didn't understand the situation at that time and he still asking himself everyday if what he did to you was right," said the old man, as he silently recalled the day of the incident.
Samin's exppression immediately became sour, as he heard the old man trying to find a way for Samin to see it through his father's point of view," I don't care anymore, what's been done has been done, and stop siding with that bastard man. You can't possibly tell me that his mind had been clouded in anger for eight fucking years," Samin exclaimed calmly, but the old man could clearly see flames brewing in Samin's eyes.
" Sigh! Young master, we're all humans, we make mistakes," said the old man trying to console Samin and defend the clan leader at the same time.
" You're right that we're humans, and every human always makes one mistake or the other. But the thing is...That man...he is not a human. He is a monster!!" Samin exclaimed, as he walked out of the hell room and began heading towards hair father's Chambers with an expression of anger mixed with saddness.
Why did it have to be him the universe turned it's back on, why can't it one of those nosy readers who are currently reading his life story.
Why did that incident happen? And why did it have to be him. Why him?!!!
" Oh how the young master had fallen,"
The old man said with a sad look on his face, as he picked up the key which had been on the ground watching the drama of Samin and the old man in 3d.
Then the old man turned around and left the room after closing the door and locking it with the key.
At the age of five, Samin was deemed one of the three percentage of the world without a system, which led to much embarrassment from the other families on the Geno ranking and forcing their rank to go from sixth on the Geno family ranking to seventh, since he was the son of Liam and Gaya Rico, one of the strongest in the world.
The day Samin was deemed systemless, every single one of his friends left him and called him useless. So.e even became his worst nightmares...or so he thought.
Liam and Gaya were still Loving parents towards him even after the embarrassment they faced because of him.
But when Samin got younger siblings, and the both of them had powerful Geno systems like their parents, his father began to become distant towards him, almost as if he had become a different person. It was also around them that Samin usually saw the old man, whose need was Ronald around his father.
As his father left him, Samin had only one person left in his life who didn't leave him in those dark times of his life.
It was his mother. It was only his mother that was the source of his happiness.
But even that didn't last for long.
