Chapter 32: Abandoned (2/2)

”Come on boy, tell me how do you feel?” a familiar voice reached his ears but this time it wasn't as loud as before.

Lucien ignored the question and searched for the source of the voice. He saw a middle-aged man adorned in a bright blue kimono. He had a very attractive goatee and well-trimmed silver hair neatly combed backward. He could be considered handsome and beside the man was a fair-skinned petite lady who looked like someone in her early twenties but Lucien knew she was much older. She wore a silver Chinese kimono but even that failed to hide her alluring figure. Her beautiful face looks pretty even as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

”Why is my mum crying?” Lucien couldn't help but ask as he struggled to sit up.

Judging based on the look on his dad's face, he could tell something was wrong and as the man, he was suppressing his emotions but his mum couldn't.

'Why are they crying? I am alive, shouldn't that be enough for them to be happy?'

'Or did something worse happen?'

Lucien's thoughts ran wild until a loud banging sound could be heard and an elderly man stepped into the room with a stern look on his face. The man looked more frustrated and sad than happy!

”Grandfather!” Lucien blurted out.

Right now he was sure he was in the Raizen castle.

”How are you feeling my boy?” Lukas Raizen said while trying to force a smile.

Lucien didn't know why but the mood in the room was rather gloomy, quite different from what he expected. Shouldn't they be happy that he survived?

”I feel okay but tired…” Lucien answered slowly.

”Good… Can you release your lightning element… just a little… nothing too fancy” Lukas said with a stern look on his face.

Listening to the request, Lucien felt it was strange, but he stretches forth his hand and shut his eyes in a bid to summon his lightning element. Just like a bottomless pit, Lucien felt empty! There was nothing there! Even his link with the Raizen God beast had greatly weakened so much that he almost couldn't sense it anymore!

”There is nothing there… I have no power” Lucien muttered slowly with a blank look on his face.

It was only then that the images of his past start rushing in! It was only then that Lucien remembered his cultivation was greatly affected by the dangerous light spear that hurt him.

”Since you have no powers, no strength, you are hereby stripped of your position as my successor… The clan space ring and the clan sacred heirloom have been taken away already… In a week, there will be a clan meeting… there your fate will be decided… until then I advise you stay here!” Lukas said coldly.
