Chapter 29: It's Good To Be Home

........

In the year 1986.

The Zoldyck Family owns and lives at the Kukuroo Mountain, a dormant volcano in the Dentora region of the Republic of Padokea, which stands at 3,722 meters.

In the outskirts of the mountain near the testing gate, a middle-aged man could be seen standing next to a shabby-looking wooden cottage.

That is Zebro, a middle-aged man with a balding head that appears to be a simple old security guard, but is in actuality heavily muscled and capable of opening the first door of the Testing Gate (4 tonnes).

He seems to be paying attention to the bus parking close by as a few tourists exited while being led by a beautiful blonde lady.

She seems to be the tour guide from her uniform as she explained a few available information about the Zoldyck family.

The beautiful lady is from lamentation Tours, a daily bus tour ride that runs around Dentora's mountains.

From the tourists a young dark-haired boy could easily be noticed, he seems to be walking from the rest of the tourists heading towards the testing gate.

He was standing at a height of 153 cm, wearing a set of black clothes. An air of maturity and tranquility seemed to surround him.

A serene smile painted his pale handsome face, a silver chain earring on his left ear that brings a new light to his pitch-black eyes that perfectly complements his dark short hair, this is Yasuo Zoldyck.

Zebro seemed to know who he is as he bowed his head. Yasuo just nodded at him then continued on his way.

As he walked his presence seemed to be getting lower and lower until It completely disappeared once he stood in front of the testing gate.

It got to such a degree that the tourists far away completely ignored him as if he didn't exist though Zebro was still paying attention to him with a few drops of sweat coming down his face while trying to keep his usual expression.

Silva seems in deep thought then he said with a stern look, "I asked you this question more than three years ago and I'll ask you again, what do you think about being the heir?"

Yasuo looked at silva with the tranquil smile still hanging on his face, then he said in a casual voice, "Hmm, Nah it doesn't sound interesting and it sounds like a lot of responsibilities."

Silva's face couldn't help but twitch as he looked at his monster of a son.

The problem with forcing him to be the heir is the possible backlash, after what silva saw in Yasuo's water deviation he knew that forcing him to be the heir isn't a good idea.

Especially after observing him for soo long and noticing how much he likes to be in control. So while he can force him to be the heir for a while, In the long term, It may lead to some unforeseen consequences.

Silva was in deep thought while Kikyo seemed to be holding her laugh. Yasuo seems to be sitting there in a carefree manner with his wandering thoughts.

A strange family, that's what he is thinking about, but this is the kind of family he is comfortable with and he wouldn't want to be born in any other family especially a normal one.

A normal family would be too uncomfortable and limiting to someone like him, that's why Yasuo appreciates the Zoldyck family quite a lot and he'll help if needed but being the head will take too much of his research time, and it's not something he'll enjoy.

"So is there anything you're interested in?" Suddenly silva asked Yasuo bringing him from his daze.

A bright smile appeared on Yasuo's face as he answered instantly, "Yeah, I read a lot of books and I found I enjoy researching and experimenting on stuff so I was thinking of creating a lab though I don't have enough funds yet."

As soon as Yasuo finished talking, a devilish smile surfaced Silva's face as he brought a simple device that has an oval shape and, apparently, a semi-flattened aspect.

Its size is small enough to fit in the palm of the hand. It has a side button for quick contact, a small LED status light indicator/display on the top, a small microphone and/or speaker on the bottom, and also what appears to be an earphone jack connector port for audio output underneath.

Additionally, in the middle of the device, there is a hexagram (?) stamped within a circle.

"This is the Zoldycks Personal Transmitter, we use it to ask for any available mission as well as reporting the completion of missions.

Since you need funds then you can take missions as you'll get paid depending on the difficulty of the mission." Then silva explained with a crafty smile on his face, ready to continue convincing the youth at any signs of resistance.

Though Yasuo seemed to have expected as he took the cell phone saying "Sure." leaving silva speechless...
