Chapter 93: Entering the Grayeye family

The two middle-aged men were none other than Reece and Harper whom Lucas saved in the Myriad primordial forest and later swore their allegiance to the Hellmore family.

"Sir Lucas."

Seeing Lucas, Reece and Harper bowed down respectfully.

"You are finally here."

Lucas nodded his head as he asked, "So, did you settle all your things?"

"No...master."

After some hesitation, Harper shook his head with a bitter look on their face.

"Huh? What happened?"

Lucas sensed that something was definitely wrong. So, he asked about it.

"Th..this...we can't become the Hellmore family members, Sir Lucas."

Reece was also bitter as he replied to Lucas.

"What did you say?"

Lucas became serious as he asked in a cold voice.

"Sir Lucas, please don't be angry. We can't become your followers and drag you and your family into our problems."

Harper hurriedly tried to calm Lucas.

"The moment you swear your loyalty to me in the Myriad primordial forest, you become the Hellmore family members. So, your problems will naturally become my problems."

Lucas valued the two middle-aged men in front of him and didn't want some problems to make them leave the family before they even become the official family members.

'...'

However, Reece and Harper were silent as though they were hesitating to inform Lucas about their problem.

'Sigh'

Seeing their silence, Lucas sighed as he shook his head before saying, "Fine then. You can do whatever you want."

Even though he spent rank 3 attack talisman to save them, Lucas already got a rank 4 spirit beast under his control. So, he didn't bother much about Harper and Reece.

Since they didn't want to drag the Hellmore family into their mess, Lucas also didn't want to bother about it.

"Everyone, let's go."

Soon, Lucas shouted as he walked past Harper's group.

"Sir Lucas, it is the Grayeye family."

Just as Lucas and his group walked a few meters, one of the young men behind Reece and Harper, shouted at Lucas, as he fell to his knees.

"Joshua, what are you doing?"

Reece and Harper anxiously shouted at Joshua at the same time.

"If we don't pay 10000 gold coins, they are going to sell Martha to the Slave house. Also, they will continue to sell us one by one, until we pay them that money."

However, Joshua didn't stop as he continued to shout at Lucas while explaining the problem they were currently facing.

'Ding,

A new system mission is generated.

'Ding,

Mission name:- Help the lightning squad.

Mission details:- The grayeye family used some despicable means to make Harper and Reece join their family. As the Hellmore family's family head, how could you let the Hellmore family members get snatched away by other families? So, help them.

Mission reward:- Awakening a random talent in the young ones from the Lightning squad along with their absolute loyalty to the Hellmore family.

'A mission?'

Lucas was not surprised by the mission; however, what surprised him was the reward and of course, it tempted him. So, he started listening to the entire story that Josua was saying.

"Huh? Grayeye family?"

Lucas frowned when he heard their entire story.

Even though the Lightning adventurer squad has a good reputation, their last few hunting trips were not good and they have to take a credit of 1000 gold coins from the grayeye family.

However, the Grayeye family used their despicable tricks to make that 1000 gold coins to 10000 gold coins just within a single week.

When they said that the entire lightning squad was killed except for the two leaders, the grayeye family had ordered them to join their family's adventurer's squad to repay that 10000 gold coins.

However, how could they join when they knew how despicable the Grayeye family was? So, they said that they would repay their loan within the time according to their contract which ends in three weeks.

But, the Grayeye family asked them to repay the entire money by tonight or otherwise, they will sell all the young ones to the slave house one by one.

"Joshua, is it?"

After learning everything about their problem, Lucas looked at the crying young man and said, "Why don't you take others into the manor and get some rest? I will bring back your friend."

"Thank you, Sir Lucas."

Even though Joshua didn't know exactly how powerful Lucas was, according to his Uncle Reece and Uncle Haper, Lucas was powerful and rich. So, he thanked Lucas before bringing the the young ones with him.

"Porter, protect them while they sacrifice the spirit beasts."

"Beck, you do what you said you will be doing today."

Soon, Lucas gave the orders to Porter and Beck before looking at Harper and Reece.

"Let's go. We will go to the Grayeye family."

As soon as he finished his words, Lucas didn't wait for anyone to speak as turned around and started walking in the Grayeye family's direction.

"Sir Lucas, you don't have to do that for us. As long as we join them, we can repay our debt in a month or so."

While walking behind Lucas, both Harper and Reece tried to stop Lucas.

"Let me ask you one thing. Did you lie to me when he swore that you will become my followers?"

Lucas stopped in his tracks as he asked them with a serious look on his face.

"No. We didn't lie, Master Lucas."

Both Reece and Harper hurriedly shook their heads.

"Good. So, as long as I repay your debt, you will have no problem in joining my family, right?"

"Th..this...yes sir."

After some hesitation, Reece and Harper, both nodded their heads.

"Then, don't talk about anything more. I hope you will not make me regret my decision to invest money in you."

After saying these words, Lucas walked straight to the Grayeye family.

"Thank you, Sir Lucas. We will definitely work hard."

"We will give our lives for the Hellmore family."

Reece and Harper's eyes were filled with tears as they replied to Lucas.

'Ding,

Reece's loyalty increased to 90 points.

'Ding,

Harper's loyalty increased to 90 points.

Soon, Lucas got two system notifications, making him nod his head as he didn't stop walking until he reached the Grayeye family.

Within no time, Lucas and others reached the Grayeye family's manor.

"Hey, look. Aren't they the leaders of the Lightning squad?"

"Yes. Why do you think they were here? Did they already decide to become the Grayeye family's slaves?"

The two guards looked at Reece and Harper and conversed with each other.

"I am Hellmore family's family head and I am here to meet the Grayeye's family head."

Lucas nonchalantly informed the guards who had a bright look in their eyes when they heard Lucas' words.

"Sir Lucas, our master said you will be allowed to enter the grayeye family whenever you want."

The two guards were respectful while looking at Lucas as they hurriedly led them into the manor.

Lucas was family from the time he came out of the dungeon and later news about him training in the Myriad primordial forest along with some slaves were circulated, making him popular.

Of course, the grayeye family also had an eye on the Hellmore family and wanted to take it under their wing.

So, the family head had given orders to everyone in the family to not mess with Lucas.

However, what he didn't know was that his second son had already commissioned an assassination on Lucas.

'Huh?'

With a surprised look on his face, Lucas entered the manor.
