"What!" Leyla got shocked and took a few steps back. She couldn't believe what she heard. Not only that, but it was her first ti seeing this child.
"Mom" The child called out again. Actually, this was all due to him losing his mories. Every ti the bald man popped out from his body, he would pass out and his mind would beco a ss.
Now, she was sure that it was her whom he was referring to.
"I'm not her." She shook her head.
"No. You are." He had a firm look on his face.
Seeing him so resolute, she thought that there must be so reasons behind it. So, she wanted to know about it.
"What is your na and why are you here?" This was the first thing on her mind.
The child thought for a while and couldn't answer it. The mories he had were all fragnted and couldn't rember a single thing.
"Child, since you don't even rember who you are, you might have forgotten about your mother too." She smiled and sighed in relief. After all, who would not get panicked, when soone suddenly cos for you and calls you a mother?
"But I have seen you in my dreams," he replied as he rembered seeing a handso male and a beautiful female carrying him in their arms. However, he didn't look so confident as earlier. This was because it was only a dream and he couldn't recall those faces properly.
She nodded and understood why he misunderstood her. So, she thought about consoling him and trying to put him at ease. Yet it was foiled as a male's voice ca out from outside.
"You two are awake?"
They gazed upward and saw a young man coming.
"Davion!" Leyla exclaid and beca happy as she was a bit worried about him.
"Father.." The child addressed him with a low voice.
Davion's expression changed straight away when he listened to it. Even though he was called this way on the island, he didn't bother about it since he was in a bad state. But it seems like the child was really serious and ant it from the heart.
Moreover, he looked to be troubled right now. So, to cheer him up he decided to go with the flow.
"Son, did summon bully you?" He gave a warm smile.
"Is this his child?" Leyla's mouth beca wide open.
As for the child, he simply shook his head and asked, "Father, am I really your son?"
"This…" he didn't know what to say. He really wanted to say no and put an end to his. But seeing the look of anticipation on his face, he changed his mind.
"He is quite pitiful, and who knows he might fall into depression later on because of my answer." He thought. In addition to that, who cared whatever he called him? This was just a form of address. Thus, he continued with it.
"Haha, it seems like I have to teach you a lesson. Did you beco big enough to forget your father?" He laughed and ca infront of him in the blink of an eye. Then he pinched his cheeks.
"No.." The child cried out in pain.
"Don't tell it's true. But how did he bring him inside the Secret Realm?" While Leyla was pondering, the child turned in her direction and questioned, "Dad, is she, my mother?"
"Definitely n…" she didn't even finish her sentence as Davion interrupted her.
"Yes, she is indeed your mom," Davion joked.
"You.." She stomped her feet in anger and jumped out of the hole. She didn't even want to stay here any longer with this shaless person. How could he say it like that?
"She looks to be angry," The child said.
"Don't think too much about it. She has lost her mories due to battle earlier," Davion patted his head.
"When will she recover?" The child believed what he said.
"Soon. After all, how could she forget a sweet child like you?" He praised him.
"Damn you!" Leyla, who was outside, heard it and cursed. But nobody could see that her face had already beco red.
"What the hell happened here?" After coming outside, she finally noticed the aftermath of the battle between Davion and Julia. There were deep pits everywhere around her and a chaotic aura could be felt everywhere. Almost everything had been turned to dust and the landscape had beco almost unrecognizable. She now pondered whether she was in the sa place or not.
Abruptly, she sensed so footsteps coming from her back. She knew who they were. Although she didn't want to talk to him, she really wanted to know what had occurred here when she passed out. Thus, without turning back, she spoke, "You know what took place here, don't you?"
"Yes," Davion replied.
"Who was she?" She asked.
Davion knew whom she was ntioning and decided to tell the truth. He knew that all the disciples who were alive would definitely get interrogated after coming out. Maybe they might even use so weird spells to force out the truth. So, to be safe he had to depend on Leyla or specifically her mother. As a result, there was no point in hiding it.
"A devil king…" He then began explaining.
After a few minutes, Leyla stood there with a stupefied look on her face. She couldn't imagine such a terrifying event had taken place here.
"Nora…" She felt bad thinking about her even though they were enemies as they were close to each other since birth at the end of the day.
"So, how did she fall?" This was the thing she didn't know.
"I don't know. I also passed out like you." He lied. He didn't dare to divulge his abilities. The fewer people knew about it, the better.
"Is that so?" She didn't quite believe him and knew that he was hiding so truth. But she didn't dare to ask about it since she knew that the matter was very serious. It was simply better to forget about it.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming so serious, Davion tried to change the subject.
"Wifey, why don't we enjoy our ti here? We still have an hour left to get out." he teased.
"Shut up!" She swept her hands towards him, but he easily dodged it. However, this didn't end there as she began chasing after him.
"Haha, you are too slow. You have to work harder." Davion laughed as he ran around here.
"You stop!" She shouted. Nonetheless, Davion didn't and he even increased his speed.
"Mother, you can do it." Suddenly the child raised his hands and yelled.
She nearly puked out blood from anger when she heard it. But she didn't scold him but rather stopped and coldly looked at Davion. "You are bullying ."
"How so? I was only trying to have so fun." Indeed, he was telling the truth. All this ti in the secret realm he felt utterly stressed. So, he just wanted to relax a bit.
"Humph! Don't think I don't know you. You have been lying to since the incident with the Wild Northern Forest." She scoffed while putting her hands on her hip.
"Eh!" he acted confused.
"Good, you are still acting. If you won't admit it then I will simply report it to my mother." She couldn't take it anymore. He was a complete bully.
"Hehe, it seems like I've been found out. Took you a long ti," Davion chuckled.
"I knew it the mont I saw you." How could she admit it?
"You are lying," Davion said in a sarcastic tone.
"Ahh...." He was annoying her ti and again.
Davion didn't play with her anymore and suggested, "Let's stop here. Why don't we visit the other parts of the Secret Realm? Those treasures would definitely make you happy."
"But you have to give a large part of it. Then only I might forgive you," she smiled.
"As you say." He didn't argue with her as he had already harvested the better ones.
***
Outside the Secret Realm, On the top of the Sect Master Peak,
The elders were still standing there and waiting for the disciples to co out. However, their expressions had beco much uglier than before. Not only did the disciples die inside, but even the Sect Master left the sect in a hurry.
"What do you think should have alard the Sect Master?" Vance asked with a worried look on his face.
"Who knows? But I don't think it should be so serious. Or else he would have asked for our help." Liliana reasoned.
"Hope so," he nodded.
"You worry too much. He is already here," she said while looking in a certain direction.
"Really?" He followed her gaze and saw a beam of light in the sky. It all of a sudden dived down and appeared ahead of them.
"Jared?" All the elders called out to him at the sa ti. Although the Sect Master was also here, their attention was only focused upon him.
