Temporal Pearls

Chapter 87: Malinda

She ran to Seth and checked him. "What the fuck. You broke his chin!" And that moment, her first thought was to pounce on the person that didn't but then Sam said.

"Let's take him to the hospital!" Sam's voice was calm but stern. She gritted her teeth and then took Seth, princess way, out of the room.

Sam then looked at the boy and said, "Pack your belongings and leave the family house!"

"Sam, you can't make that hasty decision. You are not…!"

"I can and I have! He better leave before I activate the Security Guard in 10 minutes!" He said as he glared at Audu.

Audu was plastered with his only son. And he knew he acted in anger which he shouldn't have… Seeing Adam walk in confused about what happened.

"Brother Adam. Please, it was an act of anger. Don't make the decision of banishing him from the house!" Audu pleaded.

"I can't banish someone that has been banished. We can only discuss if we can take him back!" Adam said as he glanced at the calm Sam.

Everyone showcased their anger differently. Anna tended to thrash around, Sarah cried out, and Adam left the space but Sam became exceptionally calm and collected. And he makes mostly the best possible decision due to that trait he has.

However, Sam was actually saving the man. The way Anna was pissed, she will surely cause him more harm than what he did to Seth. So banishing him from the house and the family will serve to appease her for a moment and then they will be able to prevent her from making things escalate.

'That fool. He might be my friend but there is nothing I can do for you. You just punched this family golden goose.' Sam thought.

Seth was immediately given a bed and doctors attended to him. In just three hours, Seth's chin was placed back and was already healing.

Technology in medical sciences has reached unimaginable heights to the moment that organs can be regenerated with ease, the only problem was cost and compatibility.

As even if the cell of a person was used to cultivate the organ, that organ might not be compatible with the body owner due to some unforeseeable reasons.

However, healing wounds and bones were the easiest as long as one has relevant status and money.

"Hey!" Anna said with a smile as she looked at him. Seth smiled back at her.

"Do you feel any pain?" She asked. Seth moved his eyes up and down and then he wrote something on the screen device he was given for communication.

"Don't touch him. He was just angry and ignorant of my intentions!"

"No. He will go to jail for punching you!" Her calm demeanour collapsed and she began to seethe with anger.

"Please!"

It took some time before Seth managed to persuade her before she agreed.

"Well. It seems you are taking your duty seriously." She said with a smile. Confusion was all over Seth's face as he stared at her.

Anna looked left and right before she mumbled without letting her voice come out.

"Saviour!"

Seth cringed and he forcefully closed his eyes.

"You all did well in the last assignment. And for that reason, I will be giving you a gift next tomorrow. As for tomorrow, you will be performing another assignment on your own. Choose 5 different flowers in this mansion and document their characteristics." Manuella said with a rare smile.

After the incident life has gone forward. It's been a week now. Seth recovered the next day and John was forgiven and taken back into the family.

Even though the family was failing, that doesn't mean they do not have a standing in society and influence, so it's better to be part of it than to be alone.

They might be losing their assets but their status and reach were of Class C. And even Former Class C is better than Class D and below, let alone them.

As for Seth, he had an elaborate plan that he had been wanting to execute but his mother's owl eyes were sticking to him all day long and he didn't know how to bypass that.

But he managed to make great progress in the game. He was able to make a lot of bricks, make building foundations and then began raising his mansion.

Seth's ambition was poured into the mansion building and with his now surfacing intelligent genius mind, he was able to finalize half of the job in just a week.

Another thing was that he found a way to stay in the game longer than usual on his own. So, instead of 6 hours, Seth now can stretch it up to 8 hours. He also taught it to others and some were able to do it. There was a rule though, it can only be used when a person was alone away from human civilization.

'Hopefully, I finished the damn mansion today and got my cloak upgraded. With that, I know I will be able to get out of the damn cursed forest!"

Manuella dropped Seth home and he went straight to his workshop and began making ceramics.

Seth was now focusing on Ceramics more than Painting because his Mothers elder brother was an Agent that sent and received goods abroad. Due to the incident with Sir Mathew, he came to their mansion, and that was when he saw Seth's displays.

He was amazed by them and took some of them and sent them to his clients at some places. The people appreciate it and provide positive reviews.

For that reason, the plan was for Seth to develop himself further in Pottery and make a lot of them to be transported.

Unlike paintings that can only be hung on the wall for seeing. Ceramics and other related objects were practical objects and they tend to break from time to time.

But that wasn't what made Seth's ceramics amazing, it was because of the incredible paintings and drawings he was able to engrave on them.

Seth studied greatly the vases and pots he bought from Sarki and he also made Anna accompany him to Sarki in Golden Sand City where he received lectures from the man himself.

As of now, Seth was able to make clay objects as amazing as he was able to manipulate sketches and paintings. For that reason, he took advantage to make an exquisite ceramic he will be using to impress the old man.

Because the old man said if Seth impressed him, he will link Seth with some influential and powerful people that desire it.

Seth decided to make a two-handed slick long jug. Then two handles were in the coil as they rested on the jug belly. While the button will have an inner stair arrangement. That was easier to make but what took time was the hand engraving.

He had a pen which doesn't produce ink, rather it was a sharp point, the Engraver. Using it, he began to sketch a flamingo head with its beak touching the upper side of the handle while the neck of the flamingo coiled down and cropped touching the coil lower side of the coil handle.

Seth made that either side of the jug with careful precision before he let it dry down. The moment it dried, he sprayed it with liquid that wet it against the back of the jug again and that allowed Seth to start applying some Colour Appetizers.

It took time as every colour has its own appetizer, so, the beak, the feathers and some feather feathers that are going to colours need careful handling.

After all that, he put the jug into the kiln where get what lay man called, cooked. As the temperature was controlled so that the appetizer didn't get damaged it took time for it to be ready for the next round.

It was already night by then and Anna was with him.

"How are you holding up?" Seth asked her. She had been depressed lately.

"I feel free!" She answered before she looked at him, "I'm upset about everything but I'm relieved now. The load I was carrying is no longer on my back!"

"I heard some of the uncles are departing the family?" Seth asked.

"Well, something like that came up. But they are not!"

"Are you sure about that?" Seth asked her.

"Yes. Where will they go? Aunt Jean's mother has a distant relative that is Class C but that is. I don't think they will just take them in!"

"I guess. Do you know about TE?"

"Yes," she looked at Seth surprised, "Raad told you?"

Seth nodded and then said, "Malinda has it in her cabin!"

"That is impossible!"

What that insinuated was that, with that capability, they can buy their way to almost any family that knew about it. And also will attract the scrutiny of the whole family gamers. And the way Raaz put it, now is not the best time to show that one can produce the TE as the only danger it will bring!
