The Eternal Family

Chapter 73 The Golden Monkey

?

Valeria's laughter came to a pause as everyone looked back at the monkey and prince duo; the monkey looked on in confusion and turned back to look at the prince's face; it was red and shameful.

Raising a brow, Harry's face darkened as he looked at them, "What do you want here?" he asked in a low tone.

He had a limit to avoiding other men pursuing his woman, and barging in like this sure passed that line.

Hugh Vincias didn't bother to look at him and looked at Lilly. Gritting his teeth secretly, he smiled elegantly as his face straightened up, his gait changing to a different form, and said in greeting, "Congratulations on your brother's wake up, princess."

Lilly didn't bother to look at him and just calmly stayed in her brother's embrace.

Hugh didn't care and looked next at Valeria, "Sorry for the intrusion Aunt." He said with a slight bow. Startled, the monkey followed.

"Oh, you know you are rude?" Valeria asked with a dangerous squint, even brats were so cocky these days...

Calm, Hugh replied, "I didn't think before my actions. Please pardon this ignorant nephew."

Harry squinted as he replied in the head of his grandma, "Okay, you are pardoned. You may leave." He was now sitting in a proper position, his one hand resting on his knees and the other hugging Lilly's waist as she sat on his lap.

Hugh's veins bulged, but he calmly said, his voice as sharp as a knife, "I never asked some filthy null's opinion."

The room immediately sank into stillness. Lilly fiercely turned back and glared at him.

Harry smiled rather creepily and asked, "Oh, I see, but this null prince's words count the same as all three people here combined…I wonder what you will do then?"

Hugh squinted his eyes, 'They had such deep relations?'

No matter — he had already ridden the tiger, now he could only ride till the end.

Even if he had to act shameless!

"Oh, aren't you daring? Calling a Stage 5 Royal of the family, will-less, like you own them?" he asked like a mock, but he was rather unsure inside.

Harry chuckled; he could see the vain attempt at manipulation seeping right through…

But what are they planning?

"So what? It's because I do own them after all, isn't it so, Grandma? aren't you mine?" Harry looked at Valeria's fierce yet calm face and asked.

She was wearing a simple yukata. yet even then, he could feel the unconscious pressure she released, the wanton majesty of her bearings.

Hugh squinted and looked at Valeria, was she going to say she was mindless herself? For a null brat? He didn't mind either way though.

He had already lost the woman the moment she was bedded, and now. And what he now wanted was to beat some sense into them, to where they stood.

He didn't care about Lilly's ability anymore, the monkey can analyze someone else' ability.

"Sure, I'm my grandson's private property," Valeria said with a chuckle and stood up, going next to Harry. She sat on his empty side and put his hands around her waist, "See?" she questioned with a bright smile.

"Aha, I see, the great v…' Hugh was about to say something when he stopped and reconsidered, then asked Harry without beating a breath, his voice filled with disdain, "As the great warrior Valeria's direct grandson, don't you have no shame?"

He paused, blinked, and then asked, "Heh, you are null sure, but what else are you?"

Harry sighed exasperatedly and whispered into Valeria's ears, "Ha….This is what I hate about cocky young masters so much; they are so obvious, aren't they?"

"Hum, Hum," Grandma nodded with a crazy smile.

Emma put down the tea in her hands, looking at Hugh with a sharp gaze.

She could already see where this was going; she didn't like it one bit.

But she decided to let her boy handle it.

"Heh, Mr. Null Prince sure has a way with women," Hugh praised, then chucklingly asked, "Do you want to do a gamble with me?"

That was why he was here, to first make sure of the mysterious tip.

Second, earn face.

Third…

"Oh, a gamble?" Harry asked, intrigued.

"Yes, a gamble."

"What is the prize?" Harry asked, his face looking as overconfident as one can be.

Hugh opened his palm and showed it to the world, "This is a Gu of the mind, said to heal all kinds of diseases, even soul related, " he paused. Valeria's face changed, Emma's glare got sharper.

Resting inside his palm was a jade.

Hugh looked back at Emma, smirked, and asked, "Your mother gifted it to me. I wonder why she didn't use it to heal you?"

Valeria wanted to immediately defend her daughter, but she didn't; she, like everyone, was rather curious to see Harry's reaction.

Lilly blinked while in his lap and stared at Emma. She was acute, so she could sense Emma was sad, But Lilly was equally confused, so she looked at Harry for answers.

"I see, so that thing is the gamble," he paused, thinking about Verma at the mention of Gu before shaking it off and asking, "I'm fine with your prize. What do you want from me?"

Hugh smiled and looked at Lilly for a second before answering, "I don't want anything in return," His smile widened, "Just face me with your Gift, the Gift of the null prince who had been in slumber for the past decade and a half."

Harry blinked, "What?"

Everyone inside the room could feel their hearts trembling, especially Valeria, 'My little grandson's gift?'

Everyone turned silent.

Puzzles started to click in Harry's mind.

'So the mysterious assassin team came to kill me because they think I awakened a gift?'

That was not so confusing since Nulls turning Gifted often meant the birth of Eternal talents.

No wonder.

They must have tipped against him.

But then, what was this bastard's actual motive?

That part was confusing, 'Was it to show off?'

No, he had a feeling something was up.

But a challenge now to fight was perfectly aligned with his plans.

Lilly, slightly panicked, spoke for the first time, "Gift? My br—"

"No need Lilly," Harry smiled and stood up, walking towards the prince. He looked at his golden eyes, their faces mere inches apart, and asked, "You want to fight Me?"

His dark eyes looked dangerous and menacing.

The monkey jumped up into the prince's shoulder, "It is a neutral bet; it's your choice if you want to fight." Hugh said. Completely unafraid of the stupid intimidation attempt.

"Three days, come to the Royal Battlefield three days later, morning," Harry withdrew and said with a smile, he didn't know shit about this guy except his weird Monkey being with him all the time.

Know yourself and know your enemies.

It was a quote he held up with life.

Three days should be enough to know this guy's every detail.

Lilly and Emma wanted him not to do this, but since it was in the Royal Battleground and it was his own choice, they remained mum; it's not like he has something other than his cover to lose if he showed himself now.

And the cover was already blown in a sense...

Whereas, Valeria's face was nowhere calm…it was fierce with anger and confusion, for multiple reasons; she was pissed.

An outsider, a fucking outsider knew his gift, and she didn't.

Sure, they were in a small fight with each other, but this?

This was betrayal…

And what the hell was that Gu doing in his hands? The fucking king!

Hugh nodded and turned around, 'So you do have an ability like the concubine said,' he smirked...show me, let my monkey analyze you!

his footsteps faded into the distance, his shadow left into a corner.

Harry looked towards Emma. Now, it was time for some talks,

Then at Valeria,

Especially with her.

There were many little holes he wanted to fix inside their little family, and he wanted to do it as soon as possible.

Three days more and nothing would be as he remembered.

'Aah…I want to rest so badly!' he muttered but then went back to his rightful seat at the center of the bed, surrounded by three women,

His Mom, sister, and grandma,

each with a different expression, frustration, confusion, or anger.

Ready for the intervention, he took his sister into his embrace.

Looking at Emma and Valeria, he said, "Now, Mother, Grandma, let's talk."

The door closed by itself with a Bam!

The Family Intervention had begun.
