Chapter 2087 Leaving The Ruins (Part Two)

"Yes, we can't carelessly share this information, or people would panic. We should first take Kenneth and that disciple back for treatment, and they can tell His Majesty what happened once they have recuperated. As for us, I'm afraid we can't escape this situation unscathed. We will most likely be punished, if not outright killed."

"Anyway, let's set aside this matter for now. It's not like we can do anything more about it. We should focus on going back first, and the rest is all up to the fates."

Soon, a tense silence settled over them as the flying beast flew quickly to the imperial city.

It was about a day later when an imperial guard knocked at the imperial palace's study.

The said guard hesitantly reported, "Your Majesty, the Yan Clan has sent people to inquire about the situation three times."

He was talking to the young man in the study who was wearing an imperial robe decorated with an elegant dragon pattern. The young man stared expressionlessly at a skeleton as he answered, "Tell the members of the Yan Clan to go back and wait for us to contact them."

"Understood, Your Majesty," the guard said respectfully, nodded once, and then left.

After a few minutes, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura arrived outside the imperial study, intending to meet the young man.

"Come inside, Deacon."

"Did you need me for anything, Your Majesty?"

the middle-aged man greeted as he walked in, but the young man's face remained blank. After a moment, he finally instructed, "I want you to ask Kenneth and the nameless disciple what exactly happened. I expect a detailed report from you before the day ends."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

with gray hair dressed in coarse linen clothes.

Behind him stood a short middle-aged man.

"It's just you, Deacon. How dare you stop me?" The old man's eyes widened in surprise, and his eyebrow raised critically. Deacon Wen trembled before him like a guilty child.

"I would never dare to attack you, sir. I just didn't expect you to come here. Please forgive me," Deacon Wen murmured fearfully, and his trembling hands cupped before him.

This terrifying old man was Kenneth's grandfather. He was once the leader of the Red Demon Clan!

Even the ruler of the Eastern Imperial Region showed respect to him, not to mention Deacon Wen.

"You better have some answers for me..."

Without any warning, the old man grabbed Deacon Wen by the collar.

"Grandfather, Father!"

Kenneth cried out with joy before the old man could ask Deacon Wen what happened.

"Kenneth!"

The two sighed in relief. They had been so anxious because all they knew was that there were survivors from the ruins in this room. They had no idea that Kenneth was one of the survivors.

"Kenneth!"

The old man hastily rushed to his grandchild's side, touching his face tenderly, as tears ran down his cheeks.

"I heard that most of the people who went to the ruins were slaughtered, and there were very few survivors. I was so worried about you, my beloved grandson."

"Grandfather, I'm so sorry. I thought I wouldn't get to see you and Father again." Kenneth was visibly overjoyed to be reunited with his family. Once again, he was so grateful to Darren. If the other man didn't accompany him, he would have died many times out there, and he could never have made it back alive.
