Chapter 41 - Meeting The Boss

Devon stepped inside the room with the two old men beside him. Getting into the room, he was surprised to see that the room had the same kind of setting as one of the rooms in Reid's mansion.

An empty room with a single chair right at the center of the room and three black orbs circling it.

"Great things were said in the book about the son of prophecy but seeing you I'm beginning to think that those words are just ordinary words."

"You're nothing but a pathetic little kid trying to avenge his mother by killing a man who even the heavens can't get to harm a hair on his body."

Devon couldn't see the person talking as the chair was facing its back at him. A smile was on his face despite all the harsh words the man was throwing at him.

"Are you done? You see, I don't give a fuck about this son of prophecy bullshit, neither am I accepting any of you as my master."

"Screw the heaven itself if they can't harm him. I don't know what it is you guys want, but one thing you should know is I don't need your help in getting revenge for what that bastard did to my mother. I can do it myself!"

Devon was about to make his way out of the room when he heard something that shook his entire being.

"Kid, don't get your hopes all high. Do you think that signing a contract with the Devil is enough to kill someone like Clifford Reid?"

"How do you know about that?" Devon inquired, still shocked at how this person knows about the contract.

Devon began to walk towards the chair, in an attempt to see who was seating on the chair, and surprisingly, he did get to see the person on the chair.

"Hahahahahaha! Though you're frightened by what you see. It's Impressive that you managed to control yourself, kid. Hehehehe the book of prophecy revealed that the son of prophecy shall sign a contract with the Devil.

Devon wasn't interested in another man's life. Not even bothering to ask what happened, he just stood there like a statue with no intention of moving, listening to what the man was saying.

"We just didn't know what type of contract it was, but seeing how much you depend on that contract, it seems to be a very good one." The man continued.

"The book also gave a warning about the danger that will befall the son of prophecy. Now, this is the fun part, as I'm only going to tell you that if you do me a small favor."

Devon shook his head at how the people of the world are. He sighed, 'What is it you want?"

"It's not difficult at all. All you need to do is allow my two disciples to impart all their knowledge and skills to you."

Devon looked at the two smiling duos beside him. He then intentionally went ahead and tapped the shoulder of the man on the chair. "Alright, then a favor it is."

Seeing the shoulder of their boss being tapped sent the duo shivering, as the last time that happened was in years and that person's hand was completely ripped off.

They both waited patiently for how their short-tempered boss would react to his shoulder being tapped.

"Why doesn't this old man brief you two are specialized in." the man said with a chuckle?

If the tapping made them shiver, then seeing how their boss acted like nothing happen made the duo speechless. The only possible explanation was because this kid was the son of prophecy.

"When it comes to battle, either attack or defense, the dominator will teach you everything you need to know about it. For a matter of fact, in this world, no one can teach you better than him."

"While it comes to the matter regarding soul, I'll also recommend nothing but the best. The sovereign will be handling that."

"Soul?" Devon stated in a confused manner. This was the first time he heard someone saying the matter of soul. Even in all the heaven library, there wasn't anything about the soul.

"That's strange... Judging from your background, the matter of soul shouldn't come as a surprise to you, unless it........"

"Unless what!" for the first time coming to this world, Devin raised his voice at someone.

"Calm down kid. If you're unable to hear what I said, then it means someone doesn't know you to know about it, at least not yet."

"That should be all. When you're done with your training, come see me." The two old men pulled the stunned Devon out of the room.

When they were about to step out of the room themselves, they received a telepathic message from their message." Go really hard on him and don't show any mercy."

"When do we start?" stepping out of the room, Devon asked immediately, showing how much he wanted to know about the situation.

"Tomorrow kid... Go have a good rest because I don't think another opportunity like this is going to arise when we start your training."

The bald-haired man called one of the staff, instructing him to take Devon to his room.

.............

The Modern World.

A year and some months had passed by since the death of Luna Reid. There wasn't any movement from the world government organization anymore. Some had forgotten about the incident, while others found it hard to let go of it.

And an example of such was the Shelby family.

The Shelby family is also one of the strongest forces in harmony city, well, to be precise in the world. Having strong ties with both the underground world and the Demon world.

For years, they had always stood against the Reid family. Rumors had it that both families use to be united some years back, but matters of the heart splitted them apart.

Currently, in the Shelby family estate. A meeting was going on presently with all the most important members present there.

"Chairman, the Reid family mansion security is too tight, even their business is untouchable in the market. We have lost about fourteen top powerhouses due to this."

"We have tried all methods, but there seems to be no way of causing this person serious damage."

"Don't forget the Reid princess, Elyse. As even harming that little brat is impossible, it's like with every encounter her strength increases."

"I heard Clifford has a son, what about him." A gentle and soft voice sounded out in the meeting room.

There was no doubt that the voice belonged to a woman and an important one at that.

"Miss Charlotte, that's true, Clifford does have a child. The last report we got on him was he mysteriously vanished from the modern world, but we believe he's going to be in the underground world."

"Our men have been looking for him since he left, but his whereabouts remain unknown."

"I'll look for the kid and bring him in." Charlotte stood up and left the room.

The Shelby family were surprised at how good the situation turned out to go. Anyway, it was a good thing for all of them.. The miss rarely goes out for a mission, when she does, it was always a job well done.
