Chapter 1358 - Complex Emotions (2) (1/2)
Just like this, the clans of Earth converged onto Dyon's battle. Not a single person of importance missed his valiant showing. Among them, even Madeleine's foster family stood in the skies, standing upon the patented Golden Eagles of the Sapientia family.
It seemed that Pertinacis, Madeleine younger brother, had had some accomplishments in the past few decades. After all, his mother, and Head Sapientia's second wife, had always been from a higher ranked Sapientia branch, only a step away from their God Clan branch.
That said, this wasn't the only reason he succeeded, even surpassing his elder brother, Oliver. Madeleine had no love lost for this foster family of hers, but she didn't feel right cutting off all relations with them. As a result, during the time Dyon was in a coma, she often helped them out.
By now, Pertinacis had graduated from his carbon frames glasses and finally entered the ranks of crystal framed Sapientia. He was the hope of his family.
However, Oliver was truly a tale of two sons. He never truly got over the fact he was nearly responsible for Dyon's death. Although Dyon didn't care to trouble him for it anymore, he forever lost the love of his younger sister…
Aside from Madeleine's foster mother and father, her brothers were not aware of the fact Madeleine wasn't their blood-related sister. So, from their youth, they had always treated Madeleine like their own sister. Oliver always dotted on her, and Madeleine always dotted on Pertinacis. However… Their family was forever fractured.
Maybe Madeleine would have been able to slowly forgive them if they repented. But, after she learned that her own father and mother tried to do the bidding of Connery Sapientia and steal away her unconscious body during the World Tournament War, she felt like they crossed a line she couldn't forgive…
She could forgive one mistake, but the same mistake twice? Even for the kind-hearted Madeleine, it was too much.
Now, Oliver had his own sons and daughters, having married a young mistress of the Big Sects. But, instead of being happy, he continually fell into an abyss… After all, his love had always been Eli's elder sister, Venus, yet he was forced to marry Jessica Knoton.
This said, this Sapientia branch family weren't the only ones with complex feelings about Dyon's appearance, though.
Remnants of the Cavositas clan and Niveus Sect were also present.
Ace Cavositas had been brewing in hatred for decades. He was aware that his father died under the schemes of Loki, but he couldn't rid himself of hatred for Dyon at the same time.
