Chapter 511 - The roaring second (Part-5)

Yamamoto jumped up from his seat as he tried to bow in front of the figure in front of him only to stop as the person raised her hand as she spoke, "There is no need to bow Yamamoto we would like to remain a bit incognito as we spent time with our brother before we leave."

Yamamoto gave a small nod of his head as Ryuu spoke with a slightly embarrassing smile, "Advisor Yamamoto I am sorry I left without informing you first as well as leaving all the work on you."​​

Yamamoto waved his hand off as he spoke, "Please Your Highness you had an emergency but before that…", Yamamoto trailed off he gave Ryuu a bow as he cupped his hand before he spoke, "Congratulation Your Highness, on your ascending your tribulation."

"Thank you Yamamoto, well I take my leave for now as I want to show Kuvosie to my eldest sister."

Yamamoto gave a nod as Ryuu stepped out of his office along with Antariskh, who had half her face covered with a veil.

Yu Wu's eyes widen as she saw Ryuu and as such she quickly approached them as she spoke with a small bow, "Good to have you boss and congratulation on your ascension."

Ryuu sent a small smile to her as he spoke, "I is good to be back and thank you."

Ryuu then turned towards his sister as he spoke, "Sister this is Yu Wu my deputy, a very hardworking woman who helps me a lot.", he then turned towards Yu Wu as he spoke, "Yu Wu this is my eldest sister."

Yu Wu gave a small bow while her mind was working furiously as she tried to recall where she had seen the familiar face, her eyes widen momentarily as a certain realization struck her only for her to dismiss it.

'There is no way the Empress of Shangri-la would be here, she might be someone with strong resemblance to her, yeah of course why would boss be here in this place when such a big shot is his sister, but that women is so beautiful just like boss.'

Yu Wu quickly stole a glance at Ryuu as her cheeks coloured slightly at his sight.

'He seems even more handsome than before, handsome enough to cause riot in the streets.'

"I hope my brother is not causing too much problem."

The melodious voice of Ryuu's sister brought Yu Wu out of her thoughts as she quickly waved her hand as she spoke, "Of course not senior boss is very helpful and caring, and it is our honor working under him."

Antariksh simply gave a small nod as Ryuu excused himself and left along with her leaving Yu Wu behind.

"Hey sis, are you using something that makes them ignore you."

"Hmm, no I just made sure that my appearance will be slight altered when they looked at me and the rest well be simple, until and unless it is slapped on their face hard they will discard the thought that I might be the owner of the entire conglomerate because if I were why would I let someone, who is working at head of this place, as his sister."

"I see so you are playing with their psychology basically, as the brain sometimes chooses falsehood over the truth as means to cope up with something that is borderline impossible."

"True brother and now give me a tour of this place."

Ryuu gave her a small smile as he escorted her through the many streets of Kuvosie while the news of him being spotted with an otherworldly beauty quickly spread around and it soon reached the ears of the members of the Vance clan, and as such without Yujie, who was busy meditating, the rest quickly made their way to the last known location of Ryuu.

Antariskh looked at the jade hairpin that her brother brought for her, the hairpin was nothing special made from pure jade not to mention it was made by a mortal, but the craftsmanship made even her slightly awestruck.

"It is very beautiful brother, truly a beautiful piece of art it is as if the crafter has poured their very heart and soul in order to make it."

Ryuu beamed at her praise as he spoke, "So true sister, and I was glad that I was able to spot such a marvelous piece of work."

"Brother, help me put it on my hair."

Ryuu gave a nod as he helped Antariskh fix her hair with the help of the newly acquired hairpin before she brought out a mirror and spoke with a soft smile on her face, "This looks great."

"Yes, sister it goes well with your hair color.", As Ryuu spoke he bought another two for his other sisters as he paid double the price in appreciation for the craftsmanship.

"Ryuu if you wish to gift them those hairpin I suggest you hold onto them for now on and give them when you meet them next time."

While Ryuu was busy buying and helping Antariksh with her hair a group of people had already arrived, a group that consisted of Ryuu's birth parents who were watching the interaction from afar.

Fang narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "That woman seems close to Ryuu, do you think they might be involved with each other."

Sabine growled as she spoke, "I will have to have a chat with that woman about her involvement with my son."

Jacklin meanwhile simply frowned as she spoke, "She is so beautiful."

Sabine sighed as she spoke, "There are many cultivation techniques out there that can make any woman devastatingly beautiful.", her face darkened momentarily as she whispered lowly, "But woman who are usually cultivating in such method are definitely of not good breeding."

Ryuu sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose as he spoke, "Why did they have to appear here?"

Antariksh simply smiled as she spoke, "This is their home so of course they will be here just like ant from an ant hill."

Ryuu gave a nod of acknowledgement but he could spot a hidden annoyance in Antariskh eyes, and after spending his entire life around them he could easily spot their mood change and even if Antariskh did an excellent job of hiding it, Ryuu was able to spot the annoyance bubbling inside of his elder sister making him clench his fist.

'Sister was so happy to spend some time with me but their arrival ruined my sister's mood, I do not know the exact reason for it but I would not hesitate to wring their necks and…'

His inner monologue came to a halt as Antariskh spoke with a mock glare, "It is not gentlemanly to give your attention to something else when you are accompanying a lady."

Ryuu gave a sheepish grin as he spoke, "Well please forgive me my lady for I have erred as such is there any way I can atone for my sins."

Antariskh frowned in deep thought as she spoke, "Hmm, may be if the gentleman escorts this lady around a bit more.", with that Antariskh extended her hand to Ryuu.

Ryuu gently held her hand before giving a soft kiss on her knuckles as he spoke in a suave tone, "Shall we my lady."

Then the duo broke into laughter as they resumed their exploration while Ryuu noted that the annoyance that was present within Antariskh disappeared after their small banter which made him incredibly happy.

A few minutes later an incredibly bored Joseph could not help but complain out loud, "Father, are we going to simply follow them or are we going to confront them."

Salazar sighed as he spoke, "I believe my grandson is right, it is time to confront them."

As Antariskh squeezed his hand as she spoke, "As I said before if you poke at an anthill you are bound to meet an ant or two."

"Ryuu, can we speak with you?"

As Beatrice's voice came to his ears Ryuu let out a groan as he turned to face them as he spoke with a tired voice, "Yes, how may I help you?"

Beatrice suddenly lost her voice as she found herself being stared hard by the woman accompanying her grandson, the woman who seemed to be looking directly into her soul, judging her and found her wanting.

Beatrice was not the only one who felt as such, as the rest of her family experienced the same when they came face to face with Antariskh.

Sabine was the first one to recover as she spoke, "We were worried about you we had heard that you were missing."

Ryuu snorted as he spoke, "Missing I was never missing, I was busy with my work."

"But you left without telling anyone."

Ryuu looked towards Fang as he spoke with a drawl, "I do not see any reason to do so as I am not someone's prisoner so I do not think I need to take permission from some imaginary warden."

Fang closed his mouth audibly as Salazar quickly spoke, "That may be so but your subordinates…"

Ryuu stopped him by raising his hand as he spoke, "My subordinates well being is my headache and upon saying that advisor Yamamoto did a wonderful job working in my absence, but most importantly why are you getting worked up I do not know."

"We were worried Ryuu, you suddenly disappeared only to reappear with a girl."

Sabine gave a nod as she quickly spoke where her mother-in-law left off, "Yes, you were suddenly missing and then you suddenly returned with that woman."

Ryuu raised one of his eyebrows at the sudden heat in Sabine's voice as he spoke, "What do you mean that woman?"

"Obviously the woman is ensnaring you with her false beauty, you should not …"

"ENOUGH!", the sudden shout from Ryuu startled them as he continued to speak with unrestrained anger in his voice, "How dare you insult my eldest sister, have you no shame."

His shout had managed to draw the attention of the people of the market area as Ryuu continued to speak, "How dare you insult my big sister, just because you are ugly does not mean that the rest of the world has to be ugly too, my sister has been blessed with divine looks since birth she does not even need any cosmetics to look better, and how narrow minded are you?"

"Brother, please calm yourself and reign in your glamour your focus is slipping."

Antariksh's words quickly drew his attention as he quickly reigned in his glamour but the damage was already done, the people in the surroundings including his biological family might not have been completely exposed to his real face, but it was enough for people to blush and gain a gaze of admiration.

Ryuu clicked his tongue as he spoke with annoyance, "tsk, of all the things, let us move from here big sister."

Antariskhs gave a small smile as she spoke with a shake of her head, "No baby brother maybe some other time as I have work to do so I will take my leave for today, and if I remember you have some paper work to finish."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "I am sorry big sister our time was cut short so abruptly."

Antariskh simply smiled as she spoke, "There is no need to say sorry, though I am amazed at the restrain you have to show against someone so annoying."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "What restrain big sis, it was you who restrained me."

But before Antariskh could speak again Beatrice intervened after she had managed to calm her emotions, "What was that? Why did Ryuu suddenly looked so handsome?"

Antariksh sneered at her as she spoke, "My baby brother is one of the most handsome person in the universe, so handsome that even the most celibate and emotionless person pine for his attnetion.", her face then gained a sadistic smile as she spoke, "I know him from when he was a toddler and I still remember that his mother, Heaven's bless her kind and selfless soul, never had a problem looking at his true face yet you lot could not even gaze at a him when a fraction of his face was revealed, so pathetic please do not pollute my brother's eyes by being near him."

Antariksh then turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, "Well then I will take my leave."

With that Antariksh disappeared leaving behind Ryuu quickly turned and as he was leaving he spoke in a harsh tone, "You lot are like frog in a well, you should count lucky that my eldest sister was in a good mood and as such you are still breathing I have seen her erase a planet with a snap of her finger next time think before you speak otherwise you will simply shorten your pathetic existence."
