Chapter 62: A Surprising Event

"I must ask, how does one forget such an important part of the job, huh, Elder White Fang?" Lord Acheon inquired with a mocking smile.Currently, they stood in the midst of over a hundred individuals, with weapons pointed at them. These individuals were all dressed in armored uniforms of black with a tinge of purple.

"When one grows old, a short term memory is something that comes with it. Hehe… I think I forgot." Great Elder White Fang laughed heartily, ignoring the weapons pointed at him. There were swords, spears, nocked bows, hammers, daggers, and several weapons aimed at them and yet, they didn't seem to care.

"Shut the hell up and state your business here!" One of the uniformed warriors yelled at Great Elder White Fang.

"This isn't necessary. Put down the weapons so we can discuss things like normal civilised people." Lord Acheon pleaded with them but the voice of the lady in the group of four soon overshadowed his own voice.

"Tch! This is plain stupidity. I want to see whoever is in charge of this place right now!" She yelled out, her voice reaching the ends of this expansive building they'd found themselves in.

Lord Acheon slapped his forehead as he both regretted and anticipated what would come after.

One of the men who didn't quite like how she'd yelled out, moved forward to teach her a lesson thinking she was just an ordinary woman amidst the men.

Bang!

Crack!

Before he had the chance to humiliate her, a blow to the face sent him spiralling until he slammed into the other end of the wall, his body pinned against it.

"Haha… As expected." Great Elder White Fang laughed and the other two male Lords had to look at him with questioning gazes.

"You just had to bring her, didn't you?" Continue your story on M-V-L

Lord Acheon was the first to speak.

"Of course. Although you and Ashbourne act differently, you both won't react until it's a battle of life and death. She on the other hand doesn't care. Whoever attacks is attacked." Great Elder White Fang said with a smile, his eyes landing on the battle armored attire Lord Leah was dressed in. She seemed ready for battle from the onset.

Furious having watched one of their own her pinned to a wall, they felt the need to attack.

"Who does this bitch think she is?"

"She'll pay for that."

Just as these warriors took the first step toward Lord Leah, a soft yet commanding voice spread out in all directions causing them to stop in their tracks. "Let it be known that whichever one of you dies by their weapons will not be avenged. And if all of you die, it still changes nothing."

There was silence in the room, not one of the uniformed warriors daring to move after such a warning.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The only sound that could be heard was the measured footsteps that indicated an approaching figure as it grew louder.

Finally, the speaker appeared, revealing herself dressed in a kimono styled attire of blue and white. She was a young lady who didn't seem to even be twenty yet. Blue hair and eyes, and a smile that out up the whole area. Her skin glowed like something polished by the gods themselves and her graceful curves felt like something crafted by the gods.

As she arrives standing a few metres from Great Elder White Fang and the others, she sighed. "I never had four Family Lords of the Fated Families suddenly visiting me, written on my bucket list but now I'll have to tick that off."

"The Great Elder of the Fated Families, Uncle White Fang, welcome." To the surprise of the warriors present, this lady who they held in high esteem, bowed before the white haired old man they'd been shouting at minutes ago.

Elder White Fang proceeded forward until he stood in front of the lady and then he patted the lady's head gently. "Still as smooth and beautiful as ever. Thank you for having me. And the others of course."

The warriors almost couldn't believe their eyes. One of the warriors who couldn't afford to keep quiet at the sight of the patting raised his voice. "Young Mistress, that's not…"

"Lock him up!" The blue-haired lady spat out a command and in the next second, the other warriors pounced on the one who'd angered their mistress and dragged him awaywhile he pleaded.

"Was that really necessary?" Once again, Lord Acheon broke the tense silence in the atmosphere and the blue-haired lady had to nod with a sigh.

"He interrupted my reunion with my uncle. He deserved it." She answered, pouting her cheeks. Now it was obvious she truly wasn't even twenty yet.

"Uncle?" Lord Acheon repeated after her, his eyes turning to Elder White Fang.

The old man simply nodded with a smile. "She is indeed the youngest daughter of my youngest sister. Her name's Mirai."

The surprise was evident throughout the room as everyone was left in shock, their mouths agape. Even Lord Terrace who had acted uninterested since their arrival.

"You have a sister here in the Northern Ireleone Continent and you never thought to tell us?" Lord Leah asked, moving closer toward Mirai, the girl Elder White Fang had just finished introducing to them as his niece to get a better look at her.

"Well, in my defense, none of you ever asked." Elder White Fang shrugged.

"Fair."

"Fair."

"Yup."

The responses from all three Lords were one worded replies.

Mirai didn't bother though as she politely bowed to the other three Lords. "Welcome to the Taka Clan, esteemed Family Lords." Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Thank you for having us." Lord Terrace and the other two returned the bow as well to show their appreciation.

"Uncle, come with me. Mother will be glad to see you." Mirai said with a light smile, tugging at Elder White Fang's robes.

"Let's go greet the Clan Leader then." Elder White Fang turned to the others who immediately understood the assignment. They were to tag along.

"I'm guessing your mother has been expecting us, hasn't she?" Elder White Fang asked his niece as they walked out of the building they had just arrived at.

"To an extent, yes! She has been expecting representatives from the Eastern Continent but not you in particular. She didn't think you'd show up." Mirai explained to her uncle as she led them through the large manor they found themselves.

"That's why I decided to surprise her by coming here myself." Elder White Fang chuckled.
