Chapter 504 - The long awaited meeting (Part-3) (1/2)
Ryuu tilted his head in a moment of brief confusion as he tried to understand the reason why the people were suddenly tensed and more than one of them had suddenly sent an annoyed look at the younger of the two women.
Before he could not help but let out a sigh inwardly as he felt pity for the woman, 'Poor woman, her mental disorder is annoying her family, I will see what I can do to help her, as a family should not treat one of their own like that and hence I will help them for a price.'
Yujie looked towards Ryuu who wore a confused look on his face, as he hurriedly spoke, ”Well you see our family did a large injustice a long time ago, we made a horrible mistake.”
Salazar suddenly looked even older than before as he spoke with a sigh, ”When my grandson born we did something that haunt us to this day, we thought him to be bringer of misfortune and we wanted to kill him, my brave and wise daughter, she was different she fought against us and ran away with my grandchild.”
A silence descended in the room with the only sound of Ryuu's pen moving furiously against the paper when Fang decided to continue, ”My sister was right, she was right all along because of our, no my narrow-mindedness I would have lost my son, we later learnt of our mistake but it was too late, our enemies found them my sister and my son first.”
Salazar sighed as he continued to speak, ”When we reached there we found my daughter's best friend and spirit beast Zhu Zhu dead, as well as the attackers but my daughter and grandson were missing.”
AS they spoke Ryuu had lowered his head his eyes hiding behind the bangs of his hair, while he had stopped writing the grip on his pen tighten.
Yujie sighed as he spoke, ”I am a Celestial, and being one enabled me to sense my descendant though the senior who took them blocked me from finding him as well as Xiao Xiao.”, he then took a breath as he spoke, ”When you arrived here I was finally able to sense you and find you Ryuu, we want you to return home, please let us make amends to you.”
Ryuu sat completely still to the point that to everyone he was just a statue as Sabine spoke with concern in her voice, ”Ryuu, are you alright?”
Ryuu did not even look up in their direction as he began to work on the piece of paper in front of him as he spoke, ”Are you all done? Then you may leave.”
Sabine quickly spoke with her eyes filled with tears, ”Please give us a chance, I know what we have done was criminal but please give us a chance to make amends.”
”Why would I want to make amends with you at all? you gave me away when I was just a new born, have you ever thought I would want nothing to do with all of you.”
”Son, please I…”
Whatever Fang was about to say was stuck in his throat as Ryuu snarled at him as he spoke, ”Never refer to me with so much familiarity, mother name is Xiao Xiao and she was, is and will always be my parent, so this is the last time I warn you do not call me in such a manner.”
”I am you mother, I gave… ”
Sabine was prepared for many things but she was not prepared for Ryuu to roar out with laughter, in fact, all of them were taken aback at his behaviour.
Ryuu wiped the tears that appeared in his eyes from laughing too much as he spoke while trying to control his breath, ”You know how to tell a joke, 'you my mother', how laughable.”
Fang's fist clenched as he spoke, ”This is not the way you talk with your mother.”
Ryuu let out a growl as he spoke with a snarl while trying his utmost not to kill them where they sat, ”My mother raised, she protected my life from the likes you, today whatever I have become is because of my mother, and her name is Xiao Xiao, I do not know in fact I do not wish to be known by the likes of you now get out.”
Ryuu's words broke both his birth parents' hearts but he did not care in fact he was greatly annoyed at them and their behaviour.
'I hate this, they must have some ulterior motives for trying to bring me back to their home but what is it? Even more is the fact that my teachers and even my sisters might know about it, I see that is why they sent me here but why? Why after all these years that I am forced to face them, especially when I had even forgotten about those filths.'
While Ryuu was deep in thought his birth family begun to bring out all sorts of items in order to try and make amends, and as his senses returned he was taken aback at the sight of various items being placed in front him.
In another place and another life, the items would be like heavenly treasure for someone who was about to break into the Immortal Realm, but for someone like Ryuu who had seen much better treasures, those items were akin to trash not to mention he had no need of them at his level.
”What do you with these things?”
Salazar looked at his grandson and as time passed by he was getting more and more curious as well as stunned the reason was fact that, Ryuu according to their common sense should be at least someone who has just become an Immortal was talking down even a Celestial in his home planet such a scene was unthinkable as well as suicidal in his mind.
'Just how was he raised? To act with such impudence, or is it because he is angry at us or he has someone protecting him, but why would someone protect him.'
Meanwhile, Yamamoto simply looked at the confrontation while drinking his tea, but the moment the group had entered he had activated a special array that let Ryuu's teachers have a perfect view of the confrontation taking place.
Ryuu growled as he spoke, ”You are trying to bribe how disgusting you lot are, out get out I have enough of you.”
Beatrice seeing her grandson quickly losing patience spoke hurriedly, ”No you misunderstand we are not trying to bribe, we are just trying to give you gifts for your birthday, please do not misunderstand us.”
With that, she promptly took out another item, which turned out to be a painting, a painting that was infused with Dao, but what drew his attention to the picture was the face that was drawn on it, the beautiful face of a beauty that would make everyone's heart skip a beat before they noticed the giant piece of metal that the woman had hoisted over her shoulder with the handle held tightly with her right hand.
Ryuu sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose, 'All I need is for my teachers or Heavens forbid one of my sisters sees this, I will never leave through their teaching.'
”I understand that being in presence of a Dao all of a sudden can cause a great problem, but even if you meditate from a distance it would be possible for you to gain some immeasurable benefits, this picture is a great treasure that my ancestor had stumbled upon and brought back with great risk to his life.”
As Yujie spoke a snicker from the corner of the room managed to draw their attention and for the first time, they spotted another occupant of the room, who was sitting leisurely.
Ryuu looked at Yamamoto as he spoke with a smile on his face, ”Is there a reason for your snickering advisor Yamamoto did you hear or see something funny then please share with us.”
