Though five minutes was an insignificant time but since there was really nothing left to challenge me in this world, a carefree attitude was perfectly the norm for me.

”Can you wait until we return, Father?” i replied to the man that blocked my path in the sky. I didn't even go out to share the same clouds he was stepping on.

”What's going on, Nicholas?” but the fool ignored my words and chose to ask my puppet instead. So i let him.

”The young master has found evidence for the Ceres Family's involvement in his poisoning, Patriarch. So we ended them all.” an apt choice of words and i congratulated myself for that.

”Ended? What do you mean ended?!” said my good father. I wanted to laugh at his face but kept my mirth hidden. This was definitely not the time to deliver my surprise.

I needed more preparation for that. And i will have that, soon. Very very soon.

”The Ceres Family is no more, father.” i interjected. But my adopted father still took his gaze intently on his faithful servant, his partner and comrade, my puppet Nicholas.

I guess he doesn't trust my words yet so i issued another wriggling command at the strings on my hands.

”The young master's words are true, Patriarch. The Ceres Family is indeed gone. We have slaughtered them. All of them.” and my toy responded in a clear, vibrant, even dramatic tone.

Well done, Nicholas. I applauded the tormented soul.

”With just you? That's impossible!” father retorted in disbelief.

There they stood out in the open sky. Both friends for a lifetime and more, they were even as close as true brothers.

But with how incredulous my father appeared, i knew that he realized that something had horribly gone wrong today. It was really too hard to fool a blind beggar in the dark.

Much more a seasoned veteran, a cultivator who had lived for thousands of years like this father of mine.

”Where's mom, father?” so i chose to change tactics instead. It was a little bit premature but since it had come at this point, then there was no helping it any longer.

”She's interviewing the new recruits of Elders in the family.” the drastic change of topic confused him a bit as he broke eye contact with Nicholas and looked to my carriage's direction instead. And so i decided to continue shoving my chess pieces.

”We need to go see her, father. I can explain everything. I promise.” my voice was solemn as I wanted him to calm down and force this issue later and not now.

”Okay, Neon. Come.” he took five breaths to agree and i was happy with the result. All were within my expectations.

So we resumed out halted trip and got to where my mother was within 10 seconds of flight.

”What's going on, dear?” my beautiful mother asked the moment we landed. Around her in the room were all greying cows of men and women.

Are all elders of the family supposed to be this antique?

”Neon has something important to tell us, Thea.” father answered in serious voice.
