Chapter 33 - Back To The Clan
Back in time to Dante perspective
Dante and the rest of the Kinsman Clan members managed to leave the howling beast forest after a long and tiring journey. there weren't any major difficulties as any beasts they faced could be easily one-shot by Rebecca so they could travel through the forest with peace of mind.
But as they approached Brightsteel city Dante noticed something strange about the city. There was an extremely tense atmosphere throughout the whole of the city with each and every person looking around anxiously while scenes of destroyed buildings and craters were spread out through the city showing the conflicts between the Kinsman clan and the Slater Clan Rebecca was talking about.
As Dante and rest pulled up to the clan compound they were greeted with a hectic scene with people rushing all over the place and dragging injured people to the clan infirmary.
Suddenly a brown-haired maid rushed to the group. It was Maria
"Young master Dante! Young miss Rebecca!"
"There's currently a meeting between the upper echelons of the clan and your presence is urgently required!"
Seeing Maria's distressed look Dante was sure this meeting was an important one they could not miss.
despite the fact, all Dante wanted to do was rest after all the fighting he did, he was dragged by Rebecca towards the clan meeting grounds.
Standing outside a large decorated double door Dante and Rebecca could hear the muffled sounds of arguments and shouting making it clear that a heated debate was going on.
Dante took a second to organise himself before stepping inside along with Rebecca.
As soon as they entered the room it went silent as tens of malicious eyes turned towards them, more specifically Rebecca.
Feeling threatened Dante instinctively released his 'dragon fear' causing a change in expression in some people in the room, but due to the high cultivation of the elders present barely anyone was seriously affected.
Even so, Dante wasn't bothered.
he knew the people in the room couldn't do anything towards him here, after all ,both his father and uncle, who was the patriarch of the clan, were currently in the room. Inside of the Kinsman Clan, he was basically untouchable and so he stood there fearlessly returning every single stare directed his way!
Rebecca also didn't seem to be affected after all she was the daughter of the current patriarch with a cultivation level equal to some of the elders in this room. So she stood there unmoved by the numerous gazes on her.
Suddenly patriarch Gavin spoke up diverting the attention away from Rebecca and Dante
"Since we're all here, why don't we go back to the topic at hand. The attacks of the slater Clan."
"Recently there has been a steep rising in conflicts between the Slater clan and kinsman clan with them attacking stores and damaging our properties!"
"They even disregarded the founding rules of Brightsteel City and sent members of the older generation to attack our youngsters in The howling beast forest."
"We're led to believe that their recent actions are all caused by the recent return of one of their sons, Curtis Slater!"
Instantly a burst of chatter erupted from the gathering of elders
"Curtis Slater, the son of the Slater Clan Patriarch. Isn't he a piece of trash that couldn't even awaken his martial spirit ?"
"Not only that wasn't he brutally defeated in the inter-clan competition three years ago? I wonder where he gets the confidence to even come back to brightsteel city again "
"What can a piece of trash like him do if he returns anyway?"
"Silence !" exclaimed Patriarch Gavin
"The Curtis that left brightsteel city and the Curtis that is returning could barely be considered the same person" he continued
"Not only did Curtis Manage to awaken a martial spirit. The martial spirit he awakened was also a never-before-seen mutation in the Slater Family, The Demonic Blood River! a martial spirit which granted him excellent manipulation of blood and demonic energy !".
but before patriarch Gavin could continue he was quickly interrupted by Grand Elder Harrison.
"So what if the boy of the later Clan managed to awaken an amazing martial spirit, surely his strength wouldn't have reached such a ridiculous level in such a short time that the Slater Clan thought that they could completely deal with us?"
"of course not " replied patriarch Gavin displeased at the sudden interruption "if you hadn't interrupted me and allowed me to continue speaking your doubts would have been cleared" continued patriarch Gavin causing an ugly expression to appear on Elder Harrison's face.
"As I was saying before, through unknown means Curtis Slater managed to awaken a mutated martial spirit and managed to receive the attention of one of the most ruthless groups known on the rippling wave continent"
"The Blood Moon Palace!"
