[Sector 35, planet no.34, location:Middle Galaxy.]
Twenty people came from their respective ships wearing various clothes or battle gear as if waiting for something.
On a particular ship, Darya, Holland, Yalen, and Yelen were sitting at the top of the ship, all waiting for somebody. Holland, as usual, was on a white plastic chair wearing sun glasses while looking ahead.
Darya was lying on the ship and staring at the suns up in the sky, unblinking.
The thirteen families and the top seven faction heads and leaders all waited for the envoys of the star race.
They had arrived a day earlier than expected, so some of the family heads got together and talked about trades, or some of the factions looked scornfully at other factions or families.
For example, the Vector faction looked at the Ignis and Chanes family with apparent annoyance and disgust. Though Willis was physically here, he didn't even try to stop them.
He was just telling seth some stuff, yes William dragged seth out here because he felt like he hadn't spent much time with him and of course Hellen joined them because she didn't want to be the only person at home and really didn't want to leave her son with her careless husband.
The members of the Vector faction also talked to Seth, especially the girls, who thought the flower band on his hair makes him look much cuter, Seth gave up a blank expression at them and even though some of them are a year older than him he did not talk to them, it's not that he didn't want to it's just he became numb when they all started calling him cute and Thally began teasing him.
"Dad, why did you evem bring me here." Seth asked in exasperation.
William shrugged and simply replied. "You are too cooped up in the house. I thought you needed some fresh air."
Fresh air huh, well his fathers sense of cooped up is certainly strange. He turned to his mom and then asked her a question through his eyes. If she understood, thay was good. 'The old guy is here'
Seeing his eyes, Hellen immediately got what he was saying and turned to the family head of the entire Chanes family, who noticed her gaze and turned to her, he paused and seemed to ponder for a bit before he walked up to the Vector factions camp.
The Vector faction was a faction that did not really rely on their abilities but were a bunch of inventors and scientists, so rarely would someone find a person from that faction without a weapon like a laser rifle or a beast crystal engineered weapon, though no one in the faction camp dared raise their weapons at the head of the Vhanes family they still looked at him with scorn.
Non the less he was related to their faction masters lady, so they had to respect Nolvas Chanes and make way for him.
When Nolvas Chanes arrived near the group of three. He looked at William with a scrutinising look, which William didn't even try to notice, then he turned to look at Hellen with a friendly expression. "How have you been, Hellen?."
Hellen smiled and replied. "I'm fine, you know me. Always doing research and all."
"Yeah, I do. Too bad you didn't want to stay in the third families planet, you could have been a contender for head of the third branch." Nolvas said with a pitying expression.
Hellens lips twitched, but she didn't reply she just gave Nolvas a middle finger while smiling before standing up and going over to a friend in the Chane families camp, walking past an irritated Nolvas
The members of the Vector faction internally cheered at their leaders' mistress.
Nolvis sighed and then turned to Seth with a complicated expression, Seth met his gaze unblinking. "Hello." He said, not thinking much about it.
Nolvas nodded. "You seem hostile to me, Seth. Why is that."
Oh, he really wonders why too, it's not like he told him to ditch his dad and come join a family that literally hates him, yeah. Seth rolled his eyes and replied. "Come on, even you know that answer, Family Head."
Hearing that Nolvas remained silent before talking again. "Well, I'm sorry for...trying to take you away from your family then, i just thought you would want to learn more about the Chane families' traditions and ways."
Seth was not moved he still kept a blank expression. "I am grateful for that, and i may be joining the Succession war, but it is for my mother's sake. If I get a good impression on the Chanes family, then my previous actions of not wanting to meet anyone from thay family may be changed."
Nolvas smiled bitterly. It seemed seth didn't see himself as part of the Chanes family. Honestly, the reason he was doing this was because a lot of people from the chanes family discriminate on the powerless and poor, and in their eyes, William is not poor and powerless but they are just offended he took one of their family members and eloped with her and since they can't discriminate William strongly, they discriminated seth for being powerless.
Seth's situation isn't new. A lot of families suffer from such things, but Nolvas wants to actively stop it as arrogant and hypocritical as he is. "I hope so too. I shall take my leave."
Nolval looked at William scornfully before walking back to his camp. After Nolvas was gone, William turned to Seth and ruffled his hair in which Seth gratefully wanted to leave immediately. "Hah, you really showed him, son."
The moment he took his arm off Seth's hair, he grumbled and fixed it immediately.
The interaction between Nolvas and Seth was observed by quite a few people, but the ones who actually were interested were from the Whales family, the Hikari family, the Umbra family, and the Ambrosia family
They were some young ones brought along by their family heads, and they were highly interested in seth for talking down on a family head like that.
"...Can I?." A girl with bright yellow eyes and blonde hair asked as she looked up at a woman with a cold expression in her face. The woman was wearing a yellow robe, which seriously contracted with the girls' modern wear, the girl was wearing sneakers and a knee long white and gold short with a loose shirt which was the same Colour as her shirt.
The head of the Hikari family looked at the girl and sighed she waved her hands, and the girl smiled happily as she transformed into a beam of light and blasted towards the Vector camp
As that was going on, a boy from the Umbra family also wanted to go and meet Seth, making friends who were not his cousins intrigued him.
Minos sensed the kids' thoughts, turned his shadowy body around and looked at him blankly, and then at Williams camp, where he saw a streak of light making its way there. "Rorel, quickly go and meet Williams child before the annoying members of the Hikari family do, we can't let them beat us at anything even if it is something small."
Hearing the family heads words, Rorel became stunned before he grinned, and his form collapsed into shadowy fog that dispersed into small orbs of smoke and rushed towards Seth's place.
Minos just brought him here because he had considerable talent, and letting kids stay with old geezers like him didn't make him have rivals, so meeting people of his age may allow him to form rivalry and increase his growth more.
He only made the excuse of not being willing to let the Hikari family get to Seth first because he didn't want to say he let him go if he did his pride would not allow it.
The same thing happened in the Whales family, but the situation there was completely different as in different, it was a girl who was LITERALLY sitting atop a floating miniature whale that went towards the direction of the Vectore camp, the people from the Whales family did not even try to stop them girl, even the head of the Whales family merely looked up at the girl before minding his damned business.
He had no time to deal with rebellious children, so he let them do whatever they wanted as long as it is not dangerous, of course.
While the other three families may have allowed the interested young ones to go and make a friend, a boy from the Ambrosia family was grinning as he pointed the weapon he had personally forged, a sword embedded with the core of an Abnormal class beasts and the bones of a catastrophe class.
The boy's amber eyes burned with an untamed passion, and the wrapon he was holding radiated and enhanced the burning sensation. "Old man, you think you can stop me from making friends, well today is your mistake for bringing me along."
The old man was the head of the Ambrosia family and also the leader of the Earth Alliance. He was the man who conducted the meeting a few days ago. He looked at the blabbering child in front of him. Despite the man being old, he had a spear on his hand and looked at the child with a smirk. "Hah, I never stopped tou kid, you're just not strong enough to beat me, so if you do beat me, then you can go make friends."
The boy chuckled and confidently raised his sword. "I Ufriel El Ambrosia have the dream to forge the greatest weapon to ever exist you think the bones of a measely old man can stop me?."
The old man grinned. "This old man's blood, bones, and soul is gold, and a boy who only has copper in him is trying to fight the so-called measely old man."
The old man's Amber eyes became gold, and a palpable golden aura began emanating from him. His once white spear also began to tuen gold, and the muffled roar of a beast could be heard within it.
The next moment, the man and the child clashed.
CONCLUSION.
Like a rocket on extra gas, the boy with his sword was thrown straight to Seths sides like someone hitting a baseball with a bat.
It was simply hilarious for whoever watched and depressing for the one involved, but at least he was thrown in the direction of the friends he was going to make, and that was something he accepted.
The person who was being the target of all this wasn't even worried because he didn't know he was being targeted for just casually talking to the main family head of the Chanes.
And when he noticed, it was already too late, before Seth could even blink, a golden flash of light appeared right in front of him and a girl who had her hair tied to a ponytail looked at him with bright and vibrant yellow eyes staring right at his eyes.
Seth's face remained blank, and as .uch as he wanted to look away, he didn't, so for the next few seconds, setha and the girl were partaking in a game of staring. Whoever blinked would most likely talk.
But there was another disturbance, but Seth was focusing all his mental strength on not blinking or making any expression.
The disturbance that appeared was actually a relatively tall boy with black eyes and hair wearing a long black coat. He appeared in countless whisps of black energy reforming inot a person.
He curiously observed the two who were not talking but were just staring at each other.
Then the boy from the Ambrosia family came crashing down from the sky, but the boy from the Umbra family merely looked up before a large dark tentacle extended from his shadow and grabbed the poor falling boy.
The last person to arrive was the girl riding the miniature whale.
William, looking at the situation, just paused for a second and left Seth alone with his new friends and went to a colleague to discuss new research on law energy and advanced energy detection technology.
The members of the Vector camp just looked amused at the interaction and didn't even bother stopping the kids. They wanted to know if their little boss was able to handle unpredictable situations.
