Chapter 318: Changed Lives...

Chapter 318: Changed Lives...



Rex Mansion, Living Room.

"Do you know where Father goes when he enters seclusion training?"

Hearing Link's question, Olin shook his head and said, with a complicated look on his face,

"I never asked him about it, actually; usually those kinds of places are meant to be kept secret, so I thought it would be better if I didn't ask about it..."

"Well... even though I don't know where it might be.. but I am sure he's not in the mansion at the least... I know every corner of this mansion, including all the hidden rooms..."

"He's likely underground somewhere in the capital..."

Link nodded his head at those words and didn't pry further for information on Ashtel.

Although he wanted to talk to his father before leaving, it wasn't that urgent of a matter. "Sigh... I wanted to ask him if it was really safe to go to the 'Dragon Valley'... After all, the dragons are known for their arrogant nature..."

"And it's their home turf; we will be at a disadvantage if something happens..."

Hearing Link's words of worry, Olin shook his head and said,

"Young master, they have invited you as a 'Guest'... In other words, your safety is their responsibility. If something happens with you guys, then the Dragon King himself will be responsible..."

"After all, you are his 'Guests'..."

Link contemplated those words and asked,

"But, can we really trust the dragons? We went to the Elven Empire without any problems because humans and elves are on good terms..."

"But the Dragon Valley has been cut off from the world since two millennia ago; they rarely have any contact with the outside world... Their opinion of humans may vary..."

Unlike other races who were coerced into joining the World Alliance by King Allen, Dragons were one of the few races who never joined the World Alliance.

Moreover, they have established their home in the Dragon Valley, which is located in a sub- space of its own.

You can't even go there without a proper invitation.

Due to this reason, Dragons were totally unaffected by the demon race's influence, and even if some miasma entered their sub-space, they could easily purify it with their insane power.

And since they were unaffected by demons, they never participated in the demon extinction war and never felt the need to join the alliance.

Even King Allen couldn't force them to enter a war that clearly had nothing to do with them, so they always remained neutral.

...

Seeing the concerned look on Link's face, Olin smiled a bit and said,

"Young Master, you are worrying too much... Dragons are not foolish beings; they are wise and thoughtful creatures... Even they wouldn't want an unnecessary conflict..."

"If something happens to you and your group, they will be facing the wrath of the whole human empire... They aren't foolish enough to be too bad to you..."

Link sighed and said,

"But their home is located in a different space... I don't know if they will even be affected much..."

Olin smiled at Link's words of concern and said,

"Young Master... Don't forget what kind of existence 'Ashtel Rex' is... He shattered the space- time fabric to nullify the 'Heavenly Punishment' just to save your life..."

"Do you really think he can't shatter the 'Space-Time' fabric again to invade the Dragon Valley?... As a matter of fact, I don't think he would be much weaker than the Dragon King himself..."

"I believe in him.... You shall too..."

Link sighed after hearing those words and agreed.

He has never seen a person as strong as his father in his whole life.

Even Alverto, who was able to manipulate time, wasn't anything much in front of Ashtel.

'Sigh... When will I become as strong as him... He's so far away that I can't see the end of his power...'

Farah glared at Damian for a second and said,

"You spoil her too much... Sigh~ I am telling you, you father and daughter pair really cause a

lot of trouble..."

That happy and lovely talk between her parents made Riya finally realize that now she also

has parents like everyone else.

She can experience the life she always wanted.

Tears appeared in Riya's eyes as she hugged her mother tightly and said,

"Mom.... Thank you for waking up... Thank you for everything... You are the best..."

Farah was taken aback by Riya's crying face for a second, but then she patted Riya's head with

a guilty look on her face.

"Forgive me for not being there for you when you needed me the most... I love you, my

daughter... I promise to always support you from now on..."

Even Damian's eyes went moist after seeing Riya cry over such a small matter, it turns out, and Riya was really living a hard life without her parents.

She wanted the love of her parents, and now that she's finally got it, she's so happy that she

can't stop crying over it.

Although everyone else may have forgiven him, Damian himself feels guilty for not being there for his daughters.

'I guess I will need to make up for all the time that's been lost...'

On that day, Damian promised himself to give all his time to his family. He retired from the

life of an awakener and decided to spend the rest of the time with his family.

...

After half an hour of talking and chatting, Riya finally got up as she noticed the message from

Link on her phone.

"Link is here; I should go now... Mom and Dad, bye, for now..."

Farah and Damian waved their hands to say bye. Riya smiled happily and entered the car, and she opened the window and waved her hand to say bye before the car left.

From today onwards, she will always have the support of her parents with her; she won't have to worry about coming back to a house that is empty and lifeless with no one waiting for her in it.

Rio changed the lives of all his friends for the better, but his own life remained the same as before. How ironic...

Fortunately, he got to meet and love a girl like Lia, and that alone is more than enough for

him.
