"Is this ga…?" Gerard stated.
"Pandemonium." Adrian stated with his mouth full.
"Yes, Pandemonium. Is this ga really that popular? You see I am not that updated in the entertainnt industry as I never really understood it much because it is sotis a niche market." Gerard stated after swallowing his food.
"Well, it has been the most popular MMORPG since I was born. MMORPGs usually die within a year or two because of its repetitiveness but the lifelike features of the ga make it refreshing and exciting." Adrian replied.
"I see. The only form of entertainnt I had when I was young were outdoor sports and won." Gerard added which made Richard almost choke on his food.
"Dad! We are eating. Please observe basic manners. Was it not you who taught
that?" Richard stated after he drank a glass of water.
"That would be your mother. She was a stickler for the rules, and it is even a wonder on how I tolerated her. We were complete opposites." Gerard stated with a smile.
"At least you are not back to your old self ever since she left us. She would badmouth you by telling how degenerate you were back then. She even joked about being your leash and said that once she was gone, you would beco like a wild dog once more." Richard said with a pained smile.
"Anyways, she lived her life with fulfillnt and went off with a smile. Let us change the topic to a more interesting one. I did co here to learn more about my grandkids." Gerard stated with great energy.
"Have my older brothers not marry yet?" Richard asked.
"Do not even get
started on those two. They are almost forty but still do not want to tie the knot. They treat marriage like a business agreent which is why I cannot really stand them. Why don't you inherit everything, Adrian?" Gerard stated and this ti it was Adrian who chocked on his food.
"Dad even jokes need to have so boundaries. I left the inheritance claim because I am tired of fighting with my brothers." Richard stated in a passive aggressive tone.
"You should try the ga, Grandpa. Pandemonium is absolutely fun, and I heard that a lot of old people play the ga too. Although, they do play at their own pace so not many old people are famous players but there are so." Adrian stated as he wanted his grandfather to experience sothing new and exciting.
"Are there a lot of hot babes there?" Gerard asked.
"There are a lot, but you might get reported if you do sleazy behavior though." Adrian answered honestly.
"If you play with grandpa then I might consider playing the ga." Gerard added.
"If you really do decide to play the ga then I will help you in getting used to it. I am done eating now. I will head up again." Adrian stated as he cleaned up his plate and put it in the sink before returning to his room.
"I am done as well." Mina stated and did the sa actions that Adrian did.

Back in the ga, Adrian got ready for departing. At first, they debated on just teleporting back since Adrian could do that but the one with the skill stated that they could still be under observation. With that in mind, the three decided to use teleportation after they are no longer being followed.
Adrian paid for his stay at the inn and departed from the village. He did not even stay for the festival as his mission is already done. He also stated to his two companions that there might have been a hot head beta werewolf that is irritated by him.
"Is soone following us?" Adrian whispered.
"There is but they are about twenty ters away. It seems that they are only checking if you really are leaving as they stopped once you are no longer in the village borders." Lycan stated.
"Let us walk away a little more and then we will teleport back to Arkadia." Adrian muttered but he suddenly felt killing intent closing in on him.
Adrian is familiar with this killing intent because this was what he felt from Elara. Adrian imdiately told the other two that they use the forest as a cover. They went inside the forest and Adrian imdiately activated Mass Teleportation to escape after doing precautionary asures.
They disappeared into particles of light and a group of three people with Elara in the lead arrived at the location they were a few minutes later. Elara followed Adrian's scent here, but the trail ends there.
"It seems that he suddenly vanished. I may be out of line in saying this, but it seems that he picked up on your killing intent." One of the individuals that ca with Elara stated.
"He also abandoned his clothes on the way, so he managed to divert our attention away from us. From the pool of water there, he must have bathed himself in perfu that can erase soone's scent." The other one stated.
"I barely rember the brat's face because I am not that great with faces. I will maul that brat the next ti we et." Elara stated in irritation, but her face is still smiling.
"I bet she will forget about him in a day or two." The other two thought.

The Duke of Arkadia is in his office finishing up so paperwork before going for his regular training session when Adrian (still in disguise) appeared with only underwear appeared. Solstice and Lycan undid their transformation while Adrian took off the faceless mask.
"For a second there, I thought Lobo is up to no good again, but it was actually you three who ca in here. It is amazing that you managed to teleport directly in my office though as I hired a great wizard to erect the barrier. It seems it is not demon proof." Duke Lycaon stated.
"Sorry about that. We…I an I was being hunted down by a murderous werewolf, so I panicked. Do not worry as the barrier is working well. It even drained all my mana just by transferring all of us here." Adrian comnted but the Duke is still not happy with that.
"So, what have you three learned from your covert mission?" Duke Lycaon asked and the three looked at each other before disclosing what they learned.
Upon hearing the details, Duke Lycaon frowned. The details of a servant of a dark god that can turn itself into an Alpha werewolf is a recipe for disaster.
