The Ancient Genes-Chapter 808 Captured
Chapter 808 Captured
Ancestral Hall, Crimson Family.
Two old ladies sat on the throne placed at the very top of the stair of the hall. A person stood in front of these two women with a heavy look on his face. This person was the Scarlet Lord's Uncle, and the Commander of the Crimson Family's forces.
"Are you sure about it?" The Matriarch asked with a frown.
"Yes, from the image captured, I am afraid it is the girl from the Storm House who has been staying in Ocean lately.." The man spoke in a grim tone.
"How could she possibly sneak inside?! What were the guards doing?!" Matriarch asked in anger. It was one thing if the intruder was a powerhouse, and he had snuck past the guards, but it was just a young girl. This was ridiculous.
"It most probably happened during the time when we opened the entrance to let Erina in.." The man said with a frown on his face.
Honestly, it was very difficult even for a top tier powerhouse to find this place, the only reason that Synthia was able to find it was because of the fact that they opened the portal. It was very likely that she was in the nearby vicinity.
"It looks like that she had followed after Erina.." The man said with a serious look on his face. This had to be the case, if not, there was no way for Synthia to have found that entrance.
No one suspected Erina to be on this. To them, it seemed that Synthia for some reason had visited the back mountain, and by a matter of coincidence stumbled upon Erina, and followed after her into the Spatial pouch.
But, the fact that she got under the guard's nose was something very hard to digest. In the end, it was put on as guards' negligence.
"I think we should give the order to kill that girl on sight…" The man looked at the two old ladies as he gave his suggestion to the situation. There was no shred of hesitation in his voice, and it was very obvious that he had killed too many to care at this point of time.
"No! We have nothing against these kids. Capture and bring her here to me." It was the Second Matriarch who spoke. Even though her position was just fictitious, her words weren't so. Everyone knew that she was one of the two supporting pillars of the House.
The man shook his head with a bitter smile on his face, "You two really won't change..just stop showing mercy to them.."
"Brat! Don't forget that we will be playing into our enemy's hand if we begin to kill each other.." The Matriarch berated him. This guy was actually her grandson, and he wasn't the only one.
She had made her son marry too many women and produce a lot of children. Actually not only her son, but all the surviving male members of the family. It was all for the purpose of reviving the family. But, this had led to a complicated relationship structure in the family.
After all, this guy who was almost at the age of Erina's grandfather actually had tons of wives as well, and one of them had recently given birth to a child, who could be considered as Erina's uncle. This kind of situation can be seen throughout the household. But, people were now used to it.
"Mobilize as many people as you want, but the girl shouldn't escape the place. I want her here within 24 hours.." The Matriarch spoke with a stern voice, and the man nodded before leaving.
…
On the other side, Erina had once again gone under the waterfall to train. Her energy had been under a constant change as the seal on her powers had been lifted. And, it was not only that, she was having a feeling that her next breakthrough was near.
"Sizzle!"
The water from the waterfall began to let out sizzling noise as vapors began to emerge from it. Earlier Erina had to use all her power just to vaporize the water, and right now, she was only sitting beneath the waterfall and circulating her energy, yet the heat emanating from her body during the process was enough to vaporize the water.
'It's not enough…this is not my limit..' Erina frowned a little. She felt that there was still a long way to go.
"Zmmn.."
Suddenly, the spear in Erina's lap released a hum and began to vibrate as if it was roaring with its owner wanting to defy its limit as well.
This was the same spear which Max had in his possession until recently. It was the Artifact which was obtained by Old man Sun and later on passed to the Yule Family. It was originally given to Erina's mother, and later was supposed to reach her.
Even though there were delays in between, the artifact was finally where it should have belonged.
Old Man Sun had already met with Erina once. But, the Matriarch had kicked him out, saying it wasn't time for him to come. After all, Erina's first task right now was to unlock all her sealed power, only then would her real journey start as she would be able to properly wield the artefact.
…
"You guys really went all out, didn't you?" Synthia let out a helpless smile as she looked at the man standing in front of her as well as the army of mages which had surrounded her. She literally couldn't see the end of it, there were people all around and even in the sky.
"You guys really value me…don't you?" She asked with a smile while looking around. She was wondering if there was any route for her to escape. She didn't like the fact that she was caught this easily. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
"You better not do what you are thinking little girl, I don't have much patience after all.." A voice sounded in Erina's ear, and the next instant, a figure descended right in front of her.
"Boom!"
Synthia raised her head to look at the man, and her body seemed to have frozen entirely. The man was giving her the same feeling which she got from her father, and the other Lord's of the Ancient Families.
