Chapter 496 - The Tipsy Grasshopper (Part-3) (2/2)

Yujie sighed as he spoke, ”Yes, the person who had managed to poison you had been found but he was found dead, apparently he had been dead since dawn.”

Hearing his words everyone's eyes widen as Keya spoke with a gasp, ”That means sister Jacklin is still in mortal danger.”

Yujie grimaced as he spoke with a nod, ”Yes, she is since the assassin is still in loose though I believe the assassin would be quite for a few days so as to lower the heat.”, he then turned towards Jacklin as he spoke, ”Child, can you remember anyone who would wish to kill you.”

A tired smile came on Jacklin's face as she spoke, ”The list is huge great grandpa, there are many who would love to see me dead because of various reasons.”

Yujie sighed before he spoke with a frown, ”Fang where is Joseph?”

”Joseph went on a hunt with his friends but upon hearing Jacklin's situation both father and mother left to escort him back.”

Yujie gave a nod of approval as he spoke, ”Excellent, we should not lower our guard if it happened with Jacklin then it could happen with Joseph as well.”, he then turned towards Jacklin as he spoke with a smile on his face, ”So child what did your rescuer look like?”

At his words, the trio of woman blushed as Keya spoke with a dreamy look on her face, ”The most handsome man I have ever seen, and interestingly enough he kind of looks like brother except he is much more handsome that him and his mismatch eyes add more to his appeal.”

Both Fang and Sabine's heart did a flip upon hearing the description before they squashed the feeling while Yujie simply stroked his beard in deep thought before he spoke with a smile, ”Seems like an interesting person.”

*************************

Meanwhile, a certain family had gathered in their usual place when their youngest daughter arrived with a smile on her face she began to speak, ”Ryuu made contact with his biological family.”

Her words made the rest of her family sit straight as Maheswara spoke with anxiousness in his voice, ”So what happened?”

”His sister was poisoned so he saved her.”

Antariksh tilted her head as she spoke in a curious manner, ”Eh I got poisoned and Ryuu saved me, I do not remember.”, she then turned towards Sylvana as she spoke with a frown on her face, ”Sylvana did something like that with any of us.”

With an amused look on her face, Sylvana shook her head as Antariskh spoke with a confused look on her face, ”See neither of us remember anything like that and I might not downplay his skills but any poison that would kill us is currently beyond Ryuu's scope to heal us from.”

Shamiran could see the mirth in Antariskh's eyes as she spoke with a snort, ”I know you know whom I am speaking about.”

With a tired drawl, Antariskh spoke, ”Sister the only sister Ryuu has is us and no one else.”

Nuwa sighed as she spoke, ”So, what happened next? Did either of them figure out each other's identity?”

Shamiran shook her head as she spoke, ”No they did not Ryuu had gone to a restaurant when an attempt on that girl's life took place, Ryuu helped her by diagnostic the poison properly before creating and administrating the cure to her.”

Veena gave a nod of approval as she spoke, ”Such a kind hearted boy helping strangers without asking in return.”

Shamiran gave a nod before she spoke with a frown, ”But, apparently that girl took an offence to him when he gently reminded her to better take care of herself since she has lots of toxicity caused by pills in her body.”

Antariskh frowned as she spoke, ”What an ungrateful girl, my brother saved her life and she should be grateful to him instead she took offence to the fact he is giving her good advice.”

Celestia nodded as she spoke in support of Antariksh, ”Our eldest daughter is right that girl is ungrateful.”

”Apparently according to what I have learned, it is a matter of great dishonor for any woman to be mentioned as such.”

Veena had a look of understanding as she spoke, ”Ah, I see so they are embarrassed when their mistakes and callousness is made public like that, as they should be but still I do not see any reason for her to be angry with Ryuu.”

Sylvana snorted as she spoke, ”Ego, first mother, it is her ego that made her angry as the world around her learned how clumsy and lazy she is that girl is trying to find someone to blame for it.”

Maheswara shook his head as he spoke, ”Simply disgraceful though at the same time is shudder at what would have happened to Ryuu if he were to grow up amongst such people.”

A collective shudder went down everyone's spine as Antariksh summarized their thoughts, ”Nothing except a waste of talent and life.”, a sentiment that everyone seemed to share.
