Chapter 827 Slow Progress
'That's not like him..' Bahamut frowned a little. Sothing was odd about his father's behaviour. And, no matter how hard he tried to make sense of it, he couldn't.
'I will have to get to the end of it..' Bahamut muttered inwardly and waited in the mansion for his father's return. Not that he could go out. After all, he didn't have the liberty to roam around.
When his father returned, Bahamut imdiately played his most amazing card.
A crying child...
This was the best way to get his father to show his true intent.
Bahamut was good at reading people. There was no doubt about it. Besides, when interacting with a child, one would have his guard down. Especially. If he was your own child.
"..Dad..sob! …is brother …fine..is he coming back? Sob!!..:" Bahamut balled his eyes out as he hugged his father.
"Don't worry..Felix..your brother is fine. I will find him soon, and bring him back to you.." Fergus smiled as he rubbed his son's head and cald him down.
Uncle Giant who stood beside was having a hard ti controlling his facial expression. He always wondered what kind of shock his Lord would feel if he knew the true face of this little monster.
'It's better if they live in the dark for the rest of their lives.. or at least until the little master completes his adolescence..' Uncle giant thought inwardly.
Bahamut on the other hand had finally cald down, and was almost falling asleep after crying so much.
"Let help the young master.." Uncle giant got up and took Bahamut away from the Lord. He had always been a child lover, and it was not unknown that he was literally Bahamut's babysitter. The two of them were always together in their free ti, and people thought that he was just playing with the little kid, but the reality was a bit different.
The Lord smiled at the man, and passed Bahamut to him. It showed how much trust he had in Uncle Giant.
…
"We are here little master.." Uncle giant spoke as they entered the Bahamut's room upstairs, and the next instant, Bahamut's closed eyes opened up.
"Did you find anything?" Uncle giant asked as he let Bahamut down on the bed.
"I did a bit.." Bahamut nodded as he gave Uncle giant a glance.
"Oh.." Uncle Giant was a little surprised, but at this point of ti nothing was impossible when it was done by this little monster.
"He is worried about brother, there is no doubt about it. But.." Bahamut suddenly paused, "Sothing is there which is giving him a strong hope…it feels as if he knows that brother is alive.."
"Is that even possible?" Uncle Giant asked with a frown. If the Lord knew that Faryl was alive, wouldn't he have gone to rescue him. Yet, there was not even an order to form the rescue team as of now.
"It shouldn't be possible. But, I know father. He wouldn't be this calm if he doesn't have sothing to rely on.." Bahamut concluded.
Uncle Giant too understood that. Fergus usually was in control, but the mont he lost it, it would be doomsday. And, with the current situation, the doomsday should have arrived by now. After all, what kind of parents could still remain this calm at their own child's death.
"It can only an that there are so secrets that are yet to be uncovered. Not to ntion, I am still unaware of a lot of things.." Bahamut spoke with a serious look on his face. He already knew that his family was hiding things from him and the world too.
It wouldn't be odd if there was a way for his father to locate his brother. Or a way to tell if he was alive or not. Maybe his family indeed had enough ability to find his brother, even if it ant searching the whole continent.
The possibilities were limitless until known..
…
On the other side…
Three days had passed since Max had entered the Spatial pouch.
"I can't find it anywhere on the surface.." Max frowned as he stood on the balcony looking around the place.
Even though he had been kept under surveillance, it didn't stop Max from being sneaky. He had attempted to escape a total of 12 tis now, and was of course caught all the 12 tis.
But, what people didn't know was that he had actually managed to sneak out his clone from the place. And, was currently searching around for the Cetery.
Of course, Max worked very cautiously this ti. Besides, he hadn't alerted everyone like before this made him have an easy ti travelling around. Aside from that, the good thing about this clone was that even though it didn't have his strength, it was definitely better than his original body when it ca to its ability to go unnoticed,
Max could easily control his life energy when in his clone, and make himself seem like a normal person. And, in fact, if he controlled the amount of life energy he put in the clone, he could actually beco a person with normal human ability.
By now, he pretty much had a good idea about the city's layout. But, the Ancient Cetery he was trying to find was not sowhere visible to people's eyes.
It didn't seem that he was going to find it anyti soon at this rate too.
On the other side, things weren't moving fast as he expected when it ca to communication with the Crimsons. The Second Matriarch had paid him one visit in three days. This made Max realized that they were trying to observe him. And, he knew that it was going to take ti at this rate.
It was a good thing that he had made preparations outside for such a situation.
He knew it would be too optimistic of him to think that he would co and ask them for help, and they would agree to it.
After all, this was their first eting, they weren't even sure if they stood on the sa side, how the hell would they be willing to help Max when they weren't even clear if he was their friend.
Aside from that, help could only be provided to those with capability or potential. But, Max believed that he had shown enough to pass in that test.
Now, he just needed Old man Sun's help to get on a talking ground, and convince that he was a friend to the Crimsons.
