Chapter 285: Meet your fiance!

Shane would never allow anyone to do something to his family.

He wouldn't even hesitate to kill someone in front of all the people here, which everyone could tell.

At least, that was what one could see as his friendly smile lost all of its emotions before his eyes turned ice-cold.

The killing intent radiating from him was just another means to show that he was dead serious.

To Shane, the Stella mansion's staff were his friends and almost like a family to him, and they weren't excluded in the former comment!

As such, he couldn't accept the youth's words, despite him standing next to his family, and ancestors! 

Shane couldn't care less about being intimidated by someone's powerful family members, as he knew that they were unable to release the intention to harm, let alone kill him.

The youth Shane had targeted with his "Shut it" had turned speechless, unable to comprehend what kinds of words had been thrown towards him.

He could only look at his father and grandfather, who was the eldest member of their family, in disbelief.

However, it didn't take long for the youth to regain his senses as he turned furious, 

"You want me to SHUT IT, maybe I should take care of you instead of the maids and butlers next to you? How about we--"

Yet, before the youth could finish speaking, his father, who had heard his own father mumbling something, dragged his son away before ordering him to shut his mouth.

"Just be quiet for now, alright?"  He said to his son while eyeing Shane carefully.

In the beginning, he had wanted to defend his own son and lecture the youth in front of him, however, when he  heard his father mumble something about 'killing intent', he wondered as to how it was possible despite the 'system restrictions.' Thus, he had concluded that something was amiss.

There were many inconspicuous, yet powerful families that hated to attract too much attention, and it was better to not offend the descendants of one.

They were unsure whether Shane belonged to such a family or not, but holding back once or twice was still better than facing the consequences!

The youth was unable to comprehend what was going on, but Shane didn't seem to pay more attention to him after he said

"Just challenge me later if you dare to!"

Only a moment later, his cold eyes turned gentle again as he turned to his friends and began talking as if hadn't been murderously angry only a second before.

The service staff had to continue to work and bid farewell to Shane after they had wished him good luck for the future.

"Let's meet my family first before we eat something!"

All his friends meekly nodded their heads before slowly following Shane.

While the mana radiating from them and their clothes were uninteresting, their clothes' design and everyone's looks were more than enough to attract some attention.

It was even more interesting to see that they were just a group of teenagers walking around without any family or elders accompanying them. Shane, whose looks were the most striking, stood out as the handsome young man among their small group.

His aura was overflowing with confidence and charisma which made a few people curious about him.

"Who is this youth? He has such a strong aura at such a young age!"

"Not only that, but his body is trained to an extremely high degree, and balanced too!"

"And….he is handsome and beautiful at the same time!"

"Who is he??"

Most big families, merchants, and other firms were extremely curious about the new, potential rivals and Shane was someone most people didn't know.

Only a few particular family heads and higher authorities were aware of his real identity as John Stella's son, and they began to ask themselves if Shane planned on revealing himself today!

This was not going to happen, at least it was not what Shane had in mind, and he had just wanted to talk to his family.

He had never really cared about his identity being exposed, and it was more like his family had asked him to keep it under wraps for as long as possible.

As such, he thought there was something important about it, but in the end, Shane was unable to figure out its importance.

'What if someone would try to assassinate me? It's not like this is likely to happen on Igra, and I don't even plan to stay outside the Primordial Dimensions or Masua for long either way!'

With that in mind, Shane didn't really fret over being exposed as John Stella's son, and he doubted that the other family members were as vigilant as they had been in the past.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been invited to such a grand event!

There were several thousand invited humans after all!

Their small group walked through the mansion with its huge halls and floors, as Shane recounted tales of his childhood to his friends and shared a few details about his past.

He didn't have much to tell, but it was more than enough to cause complex emotions within the others to emerge.

While Kylia and Jack were astonished about his arduous training that seemed to be much harsher than theirs, it was even more astonishing to figure out the truth about Shane's childhood.

They hadn't realized what kind of background Shane had!!

On the other hand, Aimy, and Olivia felt a little bit depressed about the things Shane had shared with them because he had been unable to live a carefree childhood without any responsibilities as they had.

All of them had been listening to him attentively and Shane was about to tell them more about his past when he heard someone call his name.

Looking out for the voice's source, Shane noticed that it was not only one, but multiple voices, and when he saw whom they belonged to, he couldn't help but smile.

"Long time no see!" 

It was his aunts and uncle who called him, attracting the attention of everybody in the surroundings.

Most people had never encountered one of the 12 humans who had united humanity and established the government! 

As such, they were happy to see them, but at the same time astonished to hear them calling someone's name.

It was even more astonishing when they saw who they had called for!

When Shane saw his aunts and uncles, he approached them, followed by Kylia, Jack, Olivia, and Aimy all of whom had begun to grow nervous.

They had never met one of the 12 Uniters in real life, and videos, signs, and other means of communication channels had been the only time they had seen them!

"It hasn't been that long, little Suro!" Uncle Lars voiced out loudly.

A wide smile emerged on his face as he said "I heard you created lots of trouble for my Aisha! Don't you dare to exploit her anymore than you already did!" 

When Shane heard this, he could only scratch the back of his head while thinking about the Golden Centipede King and the fact that he had wanted to throw both Aisha and Frer into the Hidden Paradise to 'request' their help.

"I wouldn't…say I exploited them...I think." He managed to utter weakly.

Lars was not angry with Shane or anything like that, and instead, he was happy about other things Aisha had told him about Shane!

'I don't have this uncomfortable, let alone disgusting sensation coming from him when I come in close contact with him.'

He was fully aware of how Aisha felt owing to her unique constitution and that she had been unable to make friends, let alone be close to anyone!

As such, there was no way he would be angry with Shane, whom Aisha felt comfortable around, even more so, because Lars knew what kind of person Shane was.

In the end, he had raised him to a small degree as well.

Shane greeted everyone else heartily and they began to talk a little bit before he noticed that he had yet to introduce his friends, who had been awkwardly trying to blend in without knowing how.

This was quickly done, but Shane could barely suppress laughing out loud when he noticed how stiff everyone had been.

Even his aunts and uncles felt that this was something new because Shane had been unable to make friends in the past which was mostly their fault.

When they saw how Shane behaved around his friends, and even with them, they felt that Shane was finally getting a chance to live the childhood he never had!

"Why do I suddenly feel so guilty!" Lars mumbled while the others agreed silently.

Only Kia held her head high up as she said,

"I already told you guys about this before! Whoever hurts Shane will see my bad side!!"

Shane heard this, and couldn't help but smile gently, thankful that Aunt Kia and the others were on his side.

In the past, he hated them for the fact that they forced things on them which he didn't want to do.

However, after he had been within the Primordial Dimensions, he noticed that the dangers he had encountered on Igra were only a small part of the true cruelty the universe harbored! 

As he thought about this, Aunt Kia saw someone approaching Shane, and his friends from behind, and her smile stiffened for a moment as she mumbled.

"Why is his timing so bad??" 

The others noticed this too, and when they saw the man who had arrived behind Shane, they could hardly contain themselves either, 

'His timing is really the worst!!'

At that moment, Shane heard a few guests exclaim in delight.

"It's John Stella!! I met John Stella!!!" 

Only a moment later, he heard an overly familiar voice saying,

"Hello Son...You should meet your fiance now!!" 

'Is he serious right now???' Shane thought as he turned to face his father.

"Why? Do you still want to force me into something I won't accept??" 

John Stella towered over him, but Shane couldn't help as he looked straight into his father's dark-brown eyes.

He was taller than him and had the same black hair and fair skin he had. Yet, John Stella had a small beard and his physique was even more toned than Shane's.

Other than that, his aura was cold and emotionless. If Shane didn't know better, he would have thought that his father didn't have any emotions!

"You don't have to marry anyone…" John said before he sighed

"Just meet your fiance once, and tell her that you won't marry her…"

"HUH?"
