My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 616: Wedding gift
"Is that what you should be calling me?" Lysander crossed his arms, frowning in displeasure.
Eren looked at him for quite some time, before uttering, "Father-in-law."
"Hahaha, that sounds so much better. Good, very good!" He patted Eren's shoulders, laughing out loud as his displeasure was completely gone.
He suddenly thought of something and looked all around him before bringing his face close to Eren's ears. "Don't call me that in front of my little girl until you win her heart. But when she's not nearby, you can freely call me that."
He didn't want his daughter to know about his schemes, to not make her grow more distant from Eren. Still, as someone who had accepted Eren as a son in law, he really liked hearing him being called father in law by him.
Eren thought that Lysander was going to ask him about where he was coming from, but to his pleasant surprise, the conversation never reached that point at all.

"Now go and get back to my daughter." Lysander turned him around and pushed him inside the auction house. "I don't feel safe when she's with that cunning vixen."
Eren took a deep breath, wondering if he should tell Lysander that his daughter was completely straight, and that he was overthinking about something unnecessarily. However, in the end, he dropped the thought and started walking away.
"Oh, and son-in-law," Lysander suddenly called out when Eren was about to disappear into the hallway. "Your performance was quite impressive. Treat that stone with care, and don't let anyone else find out."
Eren's feet came to a sudden half as he heard those words. He didn't look back, and continued walking, even though his mind was suddenly very chaotic.
It was clear to him that the First Primordial already knew that he had taken the Portal Stone. That was why he didn't ask where he was coming from.
It was as if that man was watching everything happen with his own eyes, while the other Primordials didn't even know where the culprits were hiding.
Despite knowing everything, the First Primordial didn't ask for the portal stone back. It was like he didn't care about that stone in the first place. Or he trusted him so much that he didn't feel the need to hold on to the portal stone.
Eren was lost in thoughts as he disappeared in the maze-like hallways, leaving the first primordial behind.
After Eren disappeared, Lysander turned around and started walking away as well. "Sigh, and here I thought that I would gift that stone to my son-in-law at the wedding. Who could've thought that so much would happen."
He truly didn't need the portal stone, as he had no interest in going to the upper world. He was very content with his current home. The only place he wished to visit, if any, was earth.
Even if the others had bought the Primordials stone in the auction house, he couldn't have cared about it as that didn't affect him. That's why he didn't come here personally.
The only reason he even told his daughter to buy it, was because he thought that it might make for a good wedding gift if it was bought by his daughter, and handed over to his son in law in the future.
He didn't expect that stone to be stolen from the auction house itself. The moment he arrived and heard what had happened, he had already found the whereabouts of the thieves. But he didn't care enough to take action.
It was only when he saw his son in law was the person fighting the thief, he grew slightly interested. He even thought about helping his son-in-law, but the boy clearly didn't need any help. Some of his tricks even impressed the strongest primordial demon of hell.
He was even more pleased with the kind of son in law that he had managed to find. He was sure that it was only a matter of time before the boy could become someone that far surpassed a Primordial Demon.
"I will have to find another gift. I wonder what he would like. A mythical beast maybe?" He scratched the back of his head, before he flew in the direction of the explosion to catch up with the other Primordials as well.
He soon disappeared into the distance as well, catching up to the other Primordials that were looking at the surroundings that had been destroyed in the flames.
They couldn't feel any aura traces. The only trace that was left somewhat intact were the pieces of altar.
"This confirms it. They were from the upper realm," the Third Primordial picked up one of the altar pieces, looking at the inscription on it. "It was activated not long before the explosion. It looks like they arranged for this explosive gift before they left."
"Can you find which upper realm world it connected to?" The Second Primordial asked coldly. Even though he was the strongest in hell after Lysander, but he had the least amount of knowledge when it came to inscriptions.
"It shouldn't be hard. Maybe I can even do something better..." The Third Primordial started collecting all the remnant pieces of the altar, of which quite a few were left.
....
Eren reached before his room, and stood outside. He was about to send an instruction to the clone to open the door and come out, but before he could do that, he heard the sound of the door opening.
He quickly returned to his shadow form, right before the door opened, making himself invisible beneath the door.
Estelia and Jenia stepped out of the room, and the blood clone followed. Eren came out of the shadow, taking the place of the clone that merged with him.
He had completed everything that he wanted to achieve. Even though some things had gone beyond his expectations, the end result satisfied him to some extent. Almost all the threats were gone, or so he thought.
