3 The Nguyen Loyalists (1/2)

Chapter 2: The Nguyen Loyalists

The redwood door shut behind Van and the brown eyed man turned towards the youth. He had a worried expression on his face.

”You shouldn't be wandering around for too long! Who knows what kind of dangers you will encounter out there!”

The man's eyes widened as he noticed the bruises that had been previously hidden in the dim lighting.

”Who attacked you?!”

”It's fine Ghan. I just fell on my way here.”

Ghan sent him a doubting look. Ghan was at the 1st Stage of Dantian Formation, but because he was a well known supporter of the Old Nguyen Dynasty, he had to hide his identity and couldn't get revenge for his young master.

Ever since he was little, Van did not have much talent, which resulted in his exclusion from the family.

But now, he was the only one left of the royal family, besides his aunt who rejected the throne as if it were an undesirable disease. The usurpers had ignored him because of his status as the royal failure.

He had hopes of getting revenge, but at the moment they had no chance. They just had to wait patiently for the right time.

At this moment, a woman in a red dress, that accentuated all the curves on her body, decided to approach the two.

”Van! You're back!”

Ghan grumbled something about a damned enchantress and moved to the kitchen. Van smiled at the woman in red and crossing his arms bowed.

”Junior greets Aunty.”

”Don't greet me like that! It makes me feel old.”

”Junior apologizes.”

Van's aunt shook her head in mock indignation and sat down in the nearby couch.

Her long pale legs crossed as she sighed. Suddenly, her expression turned serious.

”Why did you sign up for the Fierce Beast Hunt?”

Van turned his head sharply, staring at his aunt.

”How do you know?!”

His aunt sighed.
