It has been more than forty years since he last saw this grandfather of his. He did not expect that he would still call him that way even though he had already grown up to be such a proper and well-grood man.
Don by his eyes had his eyes sparkling with interest as he looked at Grand Patriarch Zuko.
Although he was aware of his existence, and even saw his portrait before, this was actually the first ti that he had seen this mysterious Grand Patriarch in person.
According to his father, this great grandfather of his went into seclusion to grow stronger. The place he went to was unknown, but it was said that he was just secluding near Blazing City.
He was the only Grandmaster figure in the Red Family. His na alone could deter the surrounding families’ dark thoughts.
He was also the only reason why the Red Family could manage the whole Blazing Expanse peacefully even though the family had already declined over the years.
One must note that in the whole ven Empire, Grandmaster Summoner’s, Gold Grade and Grandmaster Martial Artists were considered as the peak.
A peak of the empire was now standing right before him, even Don could not help but feel awestruck by his own great grandfather’s dominance.
His admiration towards him grew to an unprecedented level.
Grand Patriarch Zuko had clearly seen the battle earlier.
Even though Don felt that it was a very fierce battle, it seems that his great grandfather doesn’t think that way.
In fact, at this mont, his great grandfather has been ignoring Elder Journey’s existence.
What does this an?
Well, it just ant that his great grandfather doesn’t see Elder Journey as soone on his level at all.
Realizing this point, Don decided to himself that he must beco his student.
This plan was actually supposed to be for Elder Journey. Unfortunately, he was always inside his villa and rarely cos out so Don didn’t have the chance to get close to him yet.
However, seeing a new alternative, a more powerful one at that, Don was more than willing to cancel his previous plans and create a new one.
At this mont, Grand Patriarch Zuko finally turned to look at Don who was looking at him with an intense gaze.
"Is this your son, snotty brat?" He asked casually.
Damian nodded his head.
"That’s correct, Grand Patriarch!"
Grand Patriarch Zuko nodded his head, "Very talented!"
Hearing the praise, a wide smile escaped Don’s face.
Indeed. This was how it should be!
His talent was very recognizable.
Even his legendary and mysterious great grandfather thinks so.
’Hmmp! Elder Journey is indeed ignorant. He could not even tell my talents at glance,’ he thought to himself. The previous admiration he had towards Elder Journey has been wiped out at this instance.
"I have not prepared anything while coming here. Co look for later, I have a gift for you, understand?" Grand Patriarch Zuko stated to Don.
Don imdiately nodded his head in happiness.
Right! This should be it. This should be the treatnt that he must constantly receive as a genius.
"Thank you, Grand Patriarch!"
After nodding his head, only then did Grand Patriarch Zuko turn to look at the situation ahead.
He took a step forward gracefully and his figure instantly disappeared from his current position.
As if teleporting, his figure appeared twelve ters ahead in the blink of an eye, surprising everyone present.
Standing just over twenty ters away from Miguel, he asked, "What’s your na? I haven’t heard of an expert of your caliber ever since I settled here a hundred years ago."
Miguel realized that this Grand Patriarch doesn’t seem to be unreasonable.
At least, the way he spoke was devoid of any hostility. It seems that he was truly just genuinely curious about his origin.
"It’s normal. They call Journey. I have been in seclusion and just ca out a few weeks ago. The Red Family recruited after I saved one of their promising juniors," Miguel introduced himself quite eloquently.
If there were no traces of battle around him, one would surely think that he was a student introducing in front of his classmates.
Two figures then materialized right beside him, scaring Master Nelson so much that he almost yelp like a little girl.
Edith arrived with [Flash Step] while Aaliyah erged with [Fla Jump].
"These are my two beasts, Aaliyah, and Edith," Miguel gestured with both his arms and introduced the two won as well.
They stood calmly right beside him as they looked at the Grand Patriarch in wary.
Aaliyah, observed the Grand Patriarch thoroughly, though, she shook her head inwardly a few seconds later after realizing that he was unfamiliar to her.
Master Nelson who was in the presence of such big shots felt as if a heavy boulder was pressed above his head.
The pressure was imnse.
Especially since two beasts capable of toying with Gold Grade Beasts were now standing not too far away from him.
He felt like the grim reaper of death had never been too close to him until this mont.
Unfortunately, no one could save him from such a dangerous position.
anwhile, hearing the introduction,Grand Patriarch Zuko nodded his head in understanding.
It was indeed normal for experts to go into seclusion and only co out a few decades or even a century later. Even he himself was in seclusion for a long ti as well. He only ca out this ti mainly to check with the Red Family.
What he was surprised about, though, was the lower face of this Journey.
It was quite young and there were no traces of wrinkles even on his lips.
If he did not know enough, and if he did not see his strength personally, he would even believe that he was just a teenager disguised as an elder.
"Right. You are actually an Elder of my Red Family? I reckon that those four are also elders. Why are you fighting among yourselves?" Grand Patriarch asked. This ti, his face finally showed a hint of confusion and a slight frown.
As far as he knew, it was clearly forbidden for the elders to fight amongst themselves, unless they had an unreasonable grudge.
Do they have an unreasonable grudge?
Looking at their expression and current actions, Grand Patriarch Zuko did not think so.
Hearing that, Miguel rely chuckled and said casually, "Oh, this? Don’t worry about it. It’s just a casual spar."
Hearing such words, varying reactions were garnered from the crowd around them.
A casual spar my ass!
Who would believe you?
If this was a casual spar, why would you order your beasts to kill the innate beasts of the other party?
If this was a casual spar, why would you order your beast to cut off the arm of the two Martial Artists Elders?
Hearing his words, though, Grand Patriarch Zuko seed to believe it as he nodded his head after so thought.
In the crowd, though, one person in particular had a huge and uncontrollable reaction.
"Liar! Grand Patriarch, do not believe in his lies. He has committed a grave sin. He has murdered innocent people inside Blazing City. According to the law, such a person must be imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon!"
