Chapter 116: The elder's revenge!

It had been some days since then, and it was finally time for the joint-training program to commence.

Today, they would be gathering again to meet Dennis Rivera, the one who had been chosen to be their instructor.

Oliver was somewhat excited. Last time, he had missed the opportunity to bond with Evelyn due to the ghost incident, but this time, he would make sure to connect with her.

Well, there would be plenty of opportunities after all. They would be meeting frequently now that the program had been initiated.

Oliver was picked up by the elder from before in that same luxurious car, along with Nadia and the maid.

He sighed at the wealthy elder; the car was too impressive. He wondered if he would be allowed to drive it if he asked politely.

'Maybe I would require a driver's license first, hahaha.'

He curled his lips into a smirk as he imagined himself driving such a car in the future.

Nadia looked at him smiling to himself and felt he was as silly as ever.

This time, they were taken somewhere else instead of the forest.

He could see a huge mountain in the distance.

It was on a mountain covered in mist. There was a fortress located at the top of the mountain, shrouded in that white mist.

It was an ancient-looking fortress built atop a secluded mountain range surrounded by diverse landscapes such as forests, smaller hills, rugged areas, and plains.

It was the perfect place for any type of training.

As the sun set and the sky grew darker, the car arrived at the foot of the mountain and stopped in front of a dilapidated hall, which was most likely the entrance to the mountain and the fortress at the top.

He watched as the elder parked the car and asked them to follow him.

As soon as they entered the ancient-looking hall, Oliver smelled a strong scent of moist earth, plants, and damp rocks. It was a pleasant smell.

He gazed at the insides of the hall carefully. The hall was a little desolate, with weeds growing in the corners.

"Are you not aware?" she asked, her tone slightly unsure.

Oliver blinked. What was it?

Was there something special that he should have known?

Seeing his blank expression, Bella chuckled slightly, guessing he did not know.

"The elders will be leaving from here soon."

"What?" Oliver thought he had heard it wrong.

"The elders will be leaving us alone under the care of our new teacher for a few months."

She said it calmly. It was the first time she was staying so far away from her clan and could not help but feel a little nostalgic and experience some strong emotions.

"The elders will be leaving us alone? For a few months? When did this happen?"

He could not help but blurt out as he looked at her with confusion and shock.

"Didn't the elder from your clan inform you of this? I think everyone knows about it," Bella replied and looked at the others, who seemed to be prepared as well.

Oliver groaned in his heart; he really had no clue this was happening.

No wonder, just the travel here consumed a few good hours to even reach the mountain's foot.

He glared at the useless elder from the Mystic Purge Clan, his clan. Had the old coot finally gone senile? Or was his age taking effect on him that he forgot to inform such an important piece of information.

The elder, seemingly feeling a strong gaze boring a hole in his back, looked back and met Oliver's angry eyes.

He was confused for a moment before realization dawned upon him.

He gave him a knowing smile and showed him the middle finger.

'Fuck!'

Oliver cursed as his eyes almost bulged out. The elder seemed to have intentionally hidden this information from him.
