Gregor family, meeting room.
Gregor sat with a serious look on his face, standing beside him was Galen leaning against the wall as he watch his mom coldly.
despite knowing that she was the only suspect here, Ling Xan didn't seem concerned on her face is a calm smile, she opened her mouth and spoke in an unusual tone.
"Darling, do you really think that I'll be out my hand on such a thing after we have reconciled with each other just a few months ago? Don't forget, I was willing to let her go with me on vacation just to prove to you guys that I, Ling Xan, have no bad relationship with Emerald, if you're blaming me. my darling son, my darling husband, I'd like to tell you that you are wrong.. anyways, I'm so tired, I'm leaving!" She said with a smile, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Who told you to leave, Ling Xan, sit down here if you don't want to be in more trouble than you already are"
Ling Xan was closed to the exit when she heard Gregor's words, she turned to look at him, the smile on her face no longer beautiful but was serious and had a disgusted feel to it.
"Oh, my husband, I hope you realize your family is now under my family and in this house I have the final say"
"Mother!" Galen reprimanded her, but she did not stop and instead walled closer to Gregor and whispered.
"I told you, I don't know where she is or what has happened to her, believe me that's the fact." She smiled playfully and catwalked towards the exit.
Whoosh.
At that moment, the sound of something flying through the air was heard.
Close to her neck appeared a small knife.
It wasn't moving neither was it held by someone, the sword stopped in midair closed to her neck.
She chuckled and cautiously turned to face her husband and son, she could see Galen holding out his right hand proving true her intuition, she smiled sweetly at him.
"I'm your mother Galen, you don't have to be so hostile"
Galen gritted his Teeth, trying very hard to hold his emotions in.
'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',
"Let it go, Galen"
Only after hearing the calm voice of his father did he let the small knife return to him, Ling Xan chuckled and walked out of the room completely ignoring the father and son duo.
Galen gritted his teeth, while Gregor could only sigh.
After trying severally to increase the grade of his family, he finally succeeded and he was even fortunate that he was able to succeed in it many times and his family rose from the grade it was and became a 5th grade family, nevertheless at that time, the Ling family, a family that is ruled by women and The family his wife belonged has already rose to a seventh grade family, two grades higher than his and for that, his position in the house fell down and Ling Xan picked it up, using her family to make new policies and take charge of few of his assets.
The most touching part of it was that she even pretended to call off her bad relationship with Emerald who he was legally wedded to five years ago after the birth of Julian who possessed an epic bloodline and physique that even the royal family was jealous of.
After calling off the bad relationship between them, she tried her best to be kind to her in presence of everyone even his visitors.
After she left on a vacation to her family, Emerald was kidnapped and he could only trace it to her but without enough proof, his hard work was useless and right now he didn't want her to do such things but wanted his family back but she was proving stubborn.
"Sigh, Galen, I'm so glad you're unlike your mother and sister, I'd like to plead with you to see try to find out what happened, investigate using any of the games resource and report immediately after you get a hold of a solid one."
Galen nodded, he muttered strange chants and his body started fading away.
Gregor signed once more, he was really glad right now that his son was on his side and was ready to do anything to make him get to the high position he was in before the whole thing came crashing down.
At that moment, the door to the meeting room opened and a middle aged man dressed in uniform of the police walked in, he was fat and had sharp features, as he walked in, an aura of human lord envelope his body, Gregor who was a minor radiant heart cultivator had to stand up with a smile on his face and prepared to welcome the man.
"Greetings, Lord Yuan, great vice leader of the prestigious police guild."
"Old man Gregor, you're still formal, come on we're friends"
"Hehe, the formalities is very needed when it comes to you Yuan, anyway, long time no see, you only came here to visit me because I invited you"
Yuan smiled wryly and took a sit.
"So how's it, have you been able to come up with enough proofs."
"It's still no for now, that bitchy wife of mine and her family sisters have decided to rule over their own family and at the same time rule over mine. those ladies are really so crafty"
"I agree with you on that, my friend. but you know my hands are tied If I don't have solid proof against them. if I charge them without a proof, it will be the downfall of the police guild and the Kings."
'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',
"Kings, why is kings involved"
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that the Ling family are currently under the kings of three kingdoms, how their leader was able to achieve this is really surprising no matter how hard I try to imagine it"
"Oh, Gregor sighed, right now he was in more trouble, the ling family was no longer stronger than him in terms of family grade but now they have backing of kings which will make it extremely difficult If he tries anymore to do anything against them without solid proofs.
"I will certainly get that bitch when her defense is down, and oh, I heard about a new Guild that has formed in silver south kingdom, will it be okay if I... send them a mission request as well to find my wife..."
At the mention of the other guild that has formed, Yuan furrowed his eyes and released a strong pressure immediately sending out his displeasure towards the new topic that was about to be brought up.
The new guild, that guild that was taking away the pride of the police guild.
Gregor stood up and held his hands in an X formation to blood the force from pushing him backwards, nevertheless he didn't have the mind to let go of the topic so he pressed forward with reasons to make Yuan reconsider.
"Lord Yuan, please stop and listen to my reasons, it's not like I don't have hopes in your guild, but just as you always say, two hands is better than one in a dangerous situation. your guild is the greatest in silver south and you Even have authorities in other Kingdoms while the other guild only have the right to just one kingdom.."
"So what, Gregor, you want them to be the one running silver south while the police guild scout other Kingdoms, is that what you're trying to say."
"Yuan, this isn't about guilds anymore, If it's only you guild alone going against the ling clan, the backlash will be stronger but two hands will be better, infact you when stand a chance to place all the blames and accusations on them."
Yuan stopped for a moment and of pondered, after reasoning for sometime he stopped and he finally saw the wideness in the suggestion that his friend was giving.
"Well, Gregor you have a point, go ahead with what's on your mind, I'll also try my best on my end, sorry for that earlier,"
Gregor smiled before taking his seat, with two guilds searching for his wife and kids then it might be pretty easy to find them and then he will be able to take control over his family.
But if they were dead, everything will no longer be alright, thinking about that his eyes furrowed once again and his expression turned ugly.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure they are not dead yet, with Julian physique, if she gets injured her body will self heal, and if she was killed, the world will experience blizzards and thick lightnings for several weeks."
"That's true, I'm sure they are still alive, haha, I can't believe I had such negative thought in my mind, I just hope she's fine, her physique will manifest when she's fourteen and she might be able to get into an heavenly sect"
