Chapter 181 eting the Scarlet Family
When the Light Family arrived at the office, an old man with an unfathomable aura appeared before Leo.
Camille narrowed her eyes when she saw this person.
The old man glanced at Camille for a brief second before ignoring her and turned to focus on Leo, who was his reason for being there.
"I am Adam Light, and I am here in hopes to recruit you to our Light Family." The old man said after sitting down.
"Unlike the Tempest Family and the Thorns Family, the Light Family's influence and fa isn't restricted to this Stellar City. Our na reaches every corner of the world with connections in almost every city. If you join our Light Family, we will turn you into one of the most powerful magic users in this world within 10 years."
"However, I am going to be honest with you. Our Light Family is very strict and disciplined. If you are lazy or unwilling to train everyday, you are not going to like our family very much."
"Countless people wish to join the Light Family but only very few would get that chance. If you join our Light Family, you won't ever have to worry about money again, and you will receive the best support this city has to offer."
"If you have any questions, ask away."
Leo then asked, "What are the rules and restrictions? And what do you expect to do in the Light Family?"
"The rules are as follows— You are not allowed to harm any mber from the sa family. You are not allowed to badmouth the Light Family. You are not to do anything that could disgrace our na. You are not allowed to do anything that will harm our reputation as a righteous family, which ans any criminal activities are a big no-no. If you are caught doing anything illegal, we will punish you severely. And obviously, you are not allowed to do anything that could be considered as betrayal towards the family."
"As for our expectations for you— We will give you a goal that you must fulfill within a limited ti. If you fail, we will punish you accordingly. You will be going on missions actively, and you will be participating in Labyrinth raids."
"Naturally, we do not expect you to raid Labyrinths with us the day you join the family. In the beginning you will only be training, and after a year of training or earlier if we think you're ready, we will put your talents to use."
And before Leo could even say anything, Adam retrieved two items and placed them on the table before them.
"S-Rank magic artifact 'Fla Emperor's Sword' and a Tier 7 fire magic spell 'Phoenix Rising'. We will give these two items to you if you join our family."
'Two items? The Light Family is obviously far more generous than the previous two… However, they are also far more hardcore.' Leo thought to himself.
"I won't ask you to give a response right away, but I won't wait forever either. You have three days to decide whether you want to join our Light Family or not. Until then." After gathering the two treasures, Adam stood up and left the office.
Compared to the other two families, the Light Family seed to be more dignified and prideful, and they were far less desperate to recruit him.
"The Light Family truly is sothing else." Leo said while looking at Camille.
"I forgot to ntion— they're incredibly arrogant."
"Well, arrogance isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can be very arrogant at tis myself." Leo admitted.
He then asked Eve, "When's the Scarlet Family going to show up?"
"They won't show up for another few hours, so you can go back ho for now." Eve said.
"Alright. I'm going to train my magic then."
And for the next several hours, Leo would spend all of his ti practicing his fire magic spells, increasing most of their mastery ranks to Rank A, and the only ones that hadn't reached Rank A was his Tier 6 and Tier 7 magic spell.
Leo stopped his training when he received a call from Eve.
"Get ready. They'll be here in half an hour."
"Okay."
Leo went to take a quick shower before making his way back to Eve's office.
When he arrived, there was only five minutes until the Scarlet Family's arrival.
"This is going to be the real deal, Leo. There's a good chance the Scarlet Family won't be here to recruit you. You should also choose your words carefully when you speak with them, as they are easy to offend."
"I know." He nodded. "However, I doubt they will do anything to ."
"What makes you say that?" Camille asked him.
"Because of Lia Scarlet. She won't let them."
Camille narrowed her eyes at him, "And why would she do that for you? Because you're lovers?"
"No, it's because she promised that she wouldn't hurt ."
"Even if that's true, what's going to stop her family from hurting you?" Eve raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I'm not 100 percent certain about that, but I think Lia would stop them if they do. She's the future leader of the Scarlet Family, right? That ans she should have at least so authority within the family."
Eve shook her head, "While it's true that Lia Scarlet is a very important individual within her family, I wouldn't say that she's very influential— at least not until she fully awakens her Scarlet Eyes and becos the leader of the family. Until then, she's just a young lady of the family."
"Is that so…"
Soti later, the Scarlet Family arrived at the academy, and there were two of them.
The atmosphere in the room changed the mont they stepped foot into it, making the air feel stuffy and unpleasant for them to breathe.
Out of these two people, Leo actually recognized one of them, and his eyebrows twitched when he saw Edwin's old face.
'Fuck… Why does he have to be here?' Leo sighed inwardly.
