"Bunch of Idiots! How can you leave Yota alone? With no one guarding him! Now he was kidnapped." A furious old voice rang as Rion beside him shivered in fright.
Yota on the other hand smiled brightly and said in a joyful voice, "It's grandpa! Let's go uncle, I will let you meet my grandpa."
Hearing him Robert understood that the owner of this voice is the Nascent Soul Realm Alpaca.
Rion beside him had an awkward face as he said with a bitter voice, "Uh... You guys go and meet grandpa! I will leave now as I have to hunt for food."
At this time he wanted to avoid meeting his grandpa otherwise…
Just as he wanted to leave in front of Robert and others there was an old voice beside them.
"So Rion, you are finally back." Hearing the voice everyone looked over at the source and saw a one-metre big Alpaca standing behind them with a big smile on its face. This alpaca has many whiles hairs all over its body and a few of its teeth are missing too.
Seeing the Alpaca, Rion shivered as he squeezed a smile uglier than crying and said in a feeble voice, "Grandpa… I am back.."
"Idiot! Do you dare to come back?" The smile on Grandpa Alpaca disappeared as he looked at Rion in anger and without saying anything it started beating Rion.
"You were in charge of security! But look under your charge Yota got kidnapped! How can you let this happen? And now without finding Yota you dare to come back? Huh! Looks like your skin is itchy!" The elderly Alpaca started beating Rion with his hoof and Rion did not dare to resist as he endured all the beating.
"Ouch, grandpa listen to me first! That guy was too cunning. It's not my fault and looks, I have brought Yota back. You should see him first!" Rion laid on the ground and endured the beating. He reminded the Old man that Yota is back otherwise he would beat him forever.
"Eh?" Hearing Rion the old Alpaca stopped as he looked around and saw that many people were present here.
His eyes finally settled on Yota and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Ah! My dear grandson, you are back." The Old Alpaca walked near Yota and rubbed his face. His eyes were full of doting love as he looked at Yota.
"Grandpa! I missed you." Little Yota looked at the Old Alpaca and said with a merry smile. He jumped and climbed on the Old Alpacas back.
From his actions, it looks like it's not the first time he did this and the old Alpaca did not mind this as he appeared happier.
Old Alpaca finally looked at Robert, Celli and Snowball. He was surprised to see Celli because he knew about the Astral Race.
Rion and others just thought that Celli is some special beast; they did not recognize her face as people of the Astral race rarely travel to the outside world.
But the Old Alpaca knew about the Astral race as he had lived for a decade and had tonnes of experience. By coincidence, he has once seen an astral race that left a deep impression on him.
"These people are?" He looked at Robert and the other two and asked Rion.
Before Rion could say anything Yota on his back opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa It's Uncle Robert who saved me from the people of Coyote Tribe."
"Coyote Tribe, what are you talking about?" Old Alpaca frowned as he looked at Rion with
a hint of interrogation in his eyes.
Rion who just stood up had a fright seeing his grandpa's serious face. Fearfully he started to recount everything that happened that he learned from Yota.
How those from the Coyote tribe kidnapped him and wanted to kill him and Robert saved him.
At this time Snowball and Celli also heard the whole story. They looked at Robert with a weird look.
Robert was somewhat embarrassed seeing their look but he has no choice as he can only throw the blame on the Wind Coyote tribe if he wants to save his ass.
From the dotting look of the Old Alpaca, Robert knew that even if he had a hundred good reasons for kidnapping Yota he would still lose three layers of skin if the old Alpaca knew that he was the culprit.
So it's better to keep quiet and go along with the flow.
The old Alpaca did not show any abnormal reaction as everyone expected he just nodded his head.
But Robert knew that the rage was boiling inside the Old Alpaca as they started to feel pressure on their body.
The air around the Old Alpaca started to contort as the atmosphere became heavy. Robert felt that he had returned to the Trail ground because of the pressure.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Yota asked with concern as he saw his grandpa not saying anything for some time.
Hearing Yota the pressure around was instantly disappeared as a smile appeared on Old Alpacas face as he said to Yota, "Don't worry. Grandpa is alright."
Saying this he looked at Robert gratefully and said, "So you are the one who saved Yota. I am truly grateful for your help so to express my gratitude I will hold a banquet for you."
"Senior you don't have to be so polite. Saving a child in danger is something I should do." Robert was a little flattering hearing the old Alpacas' polite words.
"Hahaha! You are quite righteous. Come on! Come with me I will bring my special wine for you." The Old Alpaca said with a laugh as he saw Robert's polite expression.
Hearing this Rion on the side was overjoyed ad he said joyfully, "Let's go! Grandpa is willing to take out his wine this time."
Robert's face froze hearing their words, Wine? Do they have wine here?
The Old Alpaca looked at Rion and said with a plain face, "Rion we have guests today so we would need some good fishes. You go to Lynx river and catch some fish for us."
Hearing this the Joyful Rion froze and said with an unbelievable look, "But grandpa…"
"It's either you catch the fish or I will call your dad for that." The Old Alpaca said. Although Yota is alright now this doesn't mean that Rion will not be punished.
It's due to his negligence that all this farce happened. A little punishment is necessary.
"Fine! I will go and catch some fish." Hearing that grandpa wanted to call his Father Rion hurriedly said.
Then he left with an unlovable expression on his face.
Looking at Rion disappearing back, Robert looked at the old Alpaca and said, "Senior, You know how to brew wine?"
"No! If I knew how to brew wine then I would drink wine every day." The Old alpaca said with some dissatisfaction and then continued, "I purchased this wine from Spirit Beast assembly!"
"Spirit beast assembly?" Robert was startled hearing this new term and looked at the old Alpaca in confusion. Besides him, only Snowball, Celli and Yota remained as the rest of the people retreated to do their work.
Similar to Robert, Snowball and Celli we're confused too as it's the first time they heard about this time.
Seeing their confused face the Old Alpaca smiled revealing two rows of teeth with a few missing teeth and said, "It's normal that you do not know about this. Only Spiritual Beasts with ten cultivation bases of Core Formation and above can enter the Spirit Beast Assembly.. Let me tell you about that place…."
