Celestial Bloodline

All eyes turned to Kyle, who glanced at Susan from the corner of his eye.

The old man had just stormed out of the room made of stones in the grassy field, probably because of all the noise everyone was making. Susan wanted to make them all go away, but he stopped when Kyle started speaking.

"I have come to realize that putting things off is a bad habit of mine. So, from now on, if I want to do something, I will do it right away... That's why I am leaving now."

Kyle gave his answer to Han with a subtle smile, and he responded with a nod. But then a wave of protests erupted, with all of his friends saying that if he left now, they would not be able to go with him.

After all, they had to inform many others about their departure since they were the young guardians of the Continent.

Regius needed to bid farewell to his grandmother and the surviving elders from his village. Carcel had to inform his older brother and mother. Sinon, Jian, Lara, and Mia faced the same situation.

And let's not forget that they had to find capable individuals to take their places all around the planet. It would take at least a few days to sort it all out.

Alec rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"Kyle, I know you have made up your mind, but how about we all leave together after a few days?"

"That way, me and everyone else can quickly handle what we need to do."

Jian agreed with him.

"Also, if we leave together, it will be a lot safer. In the end, no one knows how many dangers are waiting for us outside the boundaries of this planet."

Ray and Neon glanced at each other and also agreed with Jian and Alec.

They wouldn't stop Kyle if he wanted to leave because they knew he could take care of himself, but they wanted him to stay for a few days because they didn't know how long it would take for them to see their younger brother again once he left.

Kyle let out a deep breath as multiple voices flooded his mind. Bia sensed his troubled emotions and left his head to sit on his shoulder.

-'What happened?'

Kyle raised his hand to caress the phoenix's head and furrowed his brows.

'Just a feeling I can't describe...'

The moment he mentioned that he would leave the planet now, a sense of unease began to well up inside him. It felt like something was telling him it would be better if he left a few days later with everyone else.

Kyle relaxed his brows when he noticed Alec's eyes on him, not wanting to make the man worry. But why would he feel this way all of a sudden, like something bad would happen if he left the planet now?

'This is not the first time I have had this feeling... Could this be a new way for my bloodline to alert me about danger ahead of time? Regardless, it is best to stay cautious.'

He thought he would leave a few days later and the strange feeling in his heart vanished like it never existed.

'Hmm...'

Kyle raised his hands to calm everyone around him, but at that moment, another person landed on the surface a little distance away from them.

Zron let out a yawn. Then, the brown-haired dwarf clicked his tongue at all the people in front of him as he approached them with slow footsteps.

"I just wanted to rest. Kids, can you all stop speaking for even a second? I can hear all your noise up here."

He pointed up at the clouds where he had been trying to catch some shut-eye and locked eyes with Kyle.

"Hoho, I actually thought you died. But it was a pleasant surprise to see you alive."

Kyle squinted at the dwarf because he looked a bit familiar, especially with that sleazy smile on his face. Then his eyes widened because he had seen the dwarf before!

"You... aren't you the one who gave me that old scroll before I entered the tower of opportunity?"

Zron stopped and let out a chuckle.

"It has been so long and you still remember?"

He waved his hand and rubbed his nose.

"Shhh, no need for thank you! I'm someone who helps people here and there. That scroll was nothing compared to all the things I have given out casually."

Alec gave a wry smile since he was the only one who knew which scroll the duo was talking about.

'So, Kyle got the scroll from Zron?'

However, in that moment, Jian raised his hand with suspicious eyes.

"Wait, wait, wait! What scroll are you both talking about?"

He had a bad feeling about this because he knew Zron stole his and Kelvin's storage rings! That damn old dwarf! He only let it slide because the dwarf saved his life.

Bia glanced at Jian, and his expression sank when she told him about the scroll.

"The scroll helped us a lot in the tower, and we gathered many treasures because of it. It has all the knowledge of the first three floors of the tower."

Kyle started checking his mind space.

"I think I still have it with me... I wanted to sell it for a good price after knowing it's authentic, but I never got the chance."

Han let out a chuckle at Kyle's words. Now he understood why the kid had so many treasures to sell after coming out from the tower. Not just Han, Neon, and Ray also glanced at each other, finally figuring out the secret of how Kyle got his hands on so many treasures.

In that moment, Jian surprised everyone around him by dropping to his knees with a blank expression. He pointed his trembling finger at Zron.

"You!? Don't you dare tell me you stole the scroll from me and Kelvin!!!"
