Asher clapped his hands.
" Wonderful ..... "
" But, I still need the money " Keon continued.
" Of course. There will be specific missions for you , nothing that involves killing or anything. Plus it will serve to make you interact more with your family. "
" .... Do I have to ?"
" I promise you all of them are low level danger and you also get 10,000 Tean per mission. "
Keon's doubts evaporated .
" Deal "
" Good. Have this... "
Asher tossed a purple glowing rock which Keon caught with fluidity.
" That's a teleportation crystal " Asher said
Keon looked at Asher incredulously which just made the man smile.
" Our family sure has a lot of surprises. "
Keon didn't ask more on the matter. He was curious yes but hated long talks.
" Now Keon. This can only carry one person a day. Its usage is limited to once per day however when you arrive at our estate you can recharge it. Its radius is 200km and you can only teleport where there's a sigil . To make the sigil just place your intent on the stone and hold it on the ground for two minutes . "
Keon nodded.
" Good. I believe we are done here. You can visit the estate tomorrow. The missions will begin next week but for now I will give you an advance of 1000 Teans for every training in the estate. " Asher said.
Keon nodded and was about to walk off but...
" I'm curious , why haven't you asked me questions , for example what is up with the name Veltore ? Why am I so helpful ? Is there a hidden agenda ? " Asher asked some of the question he genuinely thought a kid Keon's age would ask.
" I think most of them are answerable even without asking. The Velmore name clearly holds significance in god knows what organizations hence the Veltore name , its basically hiding in plain sight. You're helpful because you feel horrible for what happened to my mother and the hidden agenda is you trying to fully recruit me into the family. " Keon explained.
Asher smiled .
" 2 out of 3 not bad "
Keon turned away.
" Ah one more thing. It seems your mother sealed most of your energy when you were young, a common Velmore ritual . I have unsealed it so you will have a horrible night tonight as your body and mind try to adapt. Training will help with this " Asher said.
Keon nodded in acknowledgment and walked away leaving Asher alone.
Asher's eyes glowed and ' saw ' as Keon exited the building.
He smiled, an amused smile.
" Let the games begin "
-----
Keon arrived home by Mid-day. He walked into the living room where he found Kaiten and Viv playing Warriors Conquest. It was a fighting game based on real life Hunters of the past and now where one could compete against each other or fight together to kill the monsters. Kaiten was a huge fun of the game . His love for Valrys contributed it as her company was the one to make it but it was also based on real life data of every hunter , their strengths and weaknesses . Heck even Valrys herself wasn't the best character to play with.
Currently Kaiten and Viv were playing Co-op and they seemed to work well. Kaiten was obviously doing the talking while Viv just reacted through actions.
Keon walked to the couch and kissed Viv on the head. A small smile formed one her.
He then went to Kaiten who was still engrossed in the game and did the same. Kaiten quickly looked up and his face turned to shock and disgust .
" What the fuck dude "
Keon just shrugged, smiled then walked to his room. Kaiten turned to the screen to see he died and to say the least he was enraged.
" Keon fuck you " He called out from the stairs. His glasses shined for a brief moment.
Keon went to change but apart from that he used the Teleportation crystal to form a sigil .
But still , a functioning Teleportation crystal. That guy just offered me something that the scientists have been struggling with for decades.
Keon didn't know why he trusted the dude but he just did. There was something unique about him that made him trust his words. And even if not he was going to find out tomorrow .
After taking a quick shower he went back to the duo.
Kaiten seeing Keon descend was about to start arguing when Keon fluidly changed the subject
" Did Mal come back ?" Keon asked.
" No " Kaiten answered.
" Mmh " Keon did not say more. He just fished his phone a d looked at the chats.
Mal hadn't responded.
' Oh she'll be late again ' Keon thought to himself
He went to the kitchen and made himself some afternoon snack. His movements in the kitchen attracted Kaiten's attention.
" Bring me some orange juice and mango juice for Viv "
Keon did not respond to Kaiten but Kaiten continued playing alongside Viv knowing full well his message was delivered.
A few minutes later Keon came with two glasses of orange and mango juice. He placed them besides the two then walked back to get his own sandwich and apple juice. He sat own next to Viv and watched silently as they played while nibbling his own food.
Once he finished eating remaining with half a glass of apple juice is when Kaiten spoke to him.
" How did the interview go ?"
" Nothing really interesting " Keon responded monotonously.
Kaiten took a quick glance at Keon before concentrating at the game.
" Really ? You didn't get the part ?" He asked.
" I didn't. He invited me back to the family ?" This time both Viv and Kaiten looked at him .
" The fuck you mean invited you back to the family " Kaiten asked.
Keon did not respond causing Viv to return to the game like she did not hear anything and Kaiten to click his tongue and roll his eyes.
" Get the third controller , we will be heading to the lower dungeon floors and another player wouldn't hurt. " Kaiten resorted to not further pestering Keon ,, atleast for now.
