âFine, since you donât seem to change your mind, I wouldnât attempt to stop you anymore,â Clamont gave up and decided to stop suggesting Aakesh for not going in search of the ruler.
âIâve already repaid my favor by warning you of the dangers of the ruler,â At the same time, he added it in his heart.
Aakesh expressionlessly nodded, hearing that Clamont wasnât going to bother him any further about the ruler. If not for their respectful treatment, Aakesh wouldâve already left this place.
Since he couldnât kill the ruler here after his treatment of Aakesh and similarly, Clamont was also an Immortal inside this territory, so Aakesh had to now leave on foot and continue for another month.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFather, I also want to go with him.â
Clamont had only stopped suggesting Aakesh not to go when he heard a familiar voice coming from his left.
A stumped expression appeared on his face as he stared at his eldest daughter, Clara. Clara was the one who suddenly requested to go with Aakesh.
âWhat do you mean by that?â Before Clamont could say anything, his wife, Chrysant, asked Clara with a grave expression on her face.
âThis place bores me. I want to go for an adventure with uncle intruder,â Clara sincerely answered her mother.
Even though Clara and Clamontâs other children referred to Aakesh as uncle, in reality, all of them were older than Aakesh.
It has only been around eighty thousand years since Aakesh had opened his eyes. Even Clamont jr., the youngest of the children, was around a million years old, let alone others who were even older.
âWhy are you being unreasonable?â Clamont asked his daughter.
Aakesh had no interest in the familyâs conversation, so he stood up from his chair and left for his journey while the family was busy bickering.
Time flew by.
âClara, he had already left,â Chrym, who had been silently listening to his parents and siblings bickering, finally opened her mouth and told Clara while pointing at the empty chair where Aakesh once sat.
The group bickering came to a sudden stop as Clara and Clamont looked at the empty chair at the same time.
âFather & mother, please let me go,â Clara asked her parents for the umpteenth time. Her eyes got watery since she decided to use emotional blackmail on her parents since nothing else was working for her.
âYou are more than ten million years old. Stop acting like a baby,â Chrysant scoffed, seeing Clamont having a change of expression after noticing the moist eyes of his eldest daughter.
âFather,â Clara ignored her mother and looked toward her father since her father seemed to be the first to break down and accept her request.
âYou donât understand the consequences of your action,â Chrysant, still not melting with her daughterâs expressions, told Clara with a stern tone.
Clamont, who seemed to be on the verge of accepting Claraâs request, also had a sudden change in his expression after hearing what his wife said.
âHeâs going to meet the ruler, and most probably, he would either offend the ruler or even have a fight with him.â
âHim dying doesnât matter much to us since I already repaid my favor by warning of the dangers of the ruler to Aakesh.â
âIf you leave with him, you would also get involved with the ruler. I have no worry about myself since even the ruler canât kill me inside any land on this territory, but your mother, Chrym, and Clamont jr. donât have the same luck,â Clamont told Clara with a grave expression.
He didnât want to refuse the request her daughter made, but the consequences were too much for him to accept it just for the love of his daughter.
Clara didnât know what to say at that time and fell silent. She wanted to leave with Aakesh as it would be an adventure for her, and she was bored here, but no amount of feeling for leaving with Aakesh wasnât more than the safety of her family.
âWhy do you think Aakesh wouldnât be able to kill the ruler?â Chrym, who had only spoken a sentence up to this point in family bickering, suddenly asked her father.
Chrym stopped referring to Aakesh as an uncle intruder since he had already left.
âHe is too weak to stand up to the ruler even for a moment,â Clamont responded straight away, as if what he said was something not even worth thinking about.
Despite being the middle child and being over several million years older than Clamont jr., Chrym was the weakest in her family group when it came to strength. But when it came to intellect and intelligence, she was the first.
âYou underestimate him,â Chrym also commented straight away.

âUncle intruder, wait.â
Aakesh suddenly stopped in his steps as he heard a familiar voice coming from the sky behind him.
Aakesh turned his head around and looked at the sky, only to see Clara flying toward him.
âCan you take her with you?â
Another familiar voice rang in the area as Clamont appeared a step away from Aakesh.
Claudio and Chrysant accepted Claraâs request to go with Aakesh after hearing Chrymâs arguments in Claraâs favor.
Now that theyâve agreed, it was time for them to ask for Aakeshâs permission since he also needed to approve taking Clara with him on his journey.
âNo,â Aakesh refused in response to Clamontâs question. At the same time, Clara also landed next to Clamont.
âTake her with you. She can help you in battles and your journey,â Clamont told Aakesh.
Now that he had accepted Claraâs request, he wanted to do everything in his power to make Aakesh agree.
âShe would let me sit on her,â Aakesh asked, hearing Clamontâs statement, and looked at Clara.
Aakesh didnât need Clara for his battle, but since she could fly and at a quicker speed severalfold than he would be able to walk on foot, he could think of taking her with him.
***
âThe next territory belongs toââ¬Â¦,â Clamont told Aakesh as he dropped Aakesh and Clara at the edge of his territory by teleporting him. It reduced a month of the journey to only a second after Aakesh accepted to take Carla with him.

A/N: There would be only one chapter at this time. I will upload the next chapter later in the day. I still owe you one more chapter, and most probably, my debt will get cleared today.
Thanks for reading my book!
