Chapter 340: The No-Good Great Grandson Of The Helion Family

Andreas blinked. "You’re not even surprised?"

"I’d be surprised if it were my two other sons. After all, they are currently here with me," Helen replied coolly.

"And you’re perfectly fine with this?!" Andreas glared. "Your son is taking the lifeline of the Helion Family!"

Helen shrugged. "Leone is a very kind and filial son. He is also very well-behaved. So, I’m just wondering what you did this time. You must’ve made him angry enough to rob you."

"..." For the first time in several minutes, Andreas found himself at a complete loss for words.

He hadn’t even talked to or seen Leone face to face since this grandson was born. This was their first meeting in their lifetime!

All the information he knew about him was from the reports of his subordinates, as well as the portrait they had sent to him for viewing.

Simply put, there was no reason for Leone to rob him and the Helion Family!

While the father and daughter pair momentarily stopped bickering with each other, Lugh finally arrived at the entrance of the treasury.

Even from far away, he could hear the shouting match between father and daughter, which put him in a good mood.

It had been a while since the three of them had talked, and this was the perfect opportunity to catch up to old times.

Also, he was very curious to talk to and see his supposed to be "no-good great grandson," who had managed to enter the very heart of the Helion Family’s secret treasury.

The moment Lugh arrived, both Andreas and Helen breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing they respected and admired more in their family than the man before them.

"It has been a while, Helen," Lugh said with a smile.

"Yes, Grandfather," Helen replied in an affectionate tone. "I hope you’re well and healthy."

"Oh, I’m still fit as a fiddle." Lugh chuckled. "Your grandma even says that if I’m not careful, I might give your father another sibling at our age."

Andreas almost choked on his saliva at his father’s words.

If he and his mother really popped out a child at their age, wouldn’t that be an extraordinary achievement?

Powerful humans could live for up to three hundred years without problems.

There were even those who said that a handful were able to retain their youth and surpass a thousand years.

But whether that was true or not, Andreas believed that if someone could achieve that feat in their family, it would be none other than his father, Lugh.

"Well then, where’s my no-good great grandson?" Lugh chuckled.

Jeeves, now holding the magical mirror, moved closer so that Helen, Andreas, and Lugh could see Leone.

Since Daedalus was also projecting what was outside, Leone was finally able to meet his mother and great grandfather.

"Hello, Mother," Leone said politely. "Hello, Great Grandfather."

"Leone, I was looking forward to talking to you again. How did the war against the Darkmane Tribe end?" Helen replied softly. "But, seeing that you are safe, I believed that it ended in your favor?"

"Yes, mother," Leone answered. "We won the war against the Darkmane Tribe. Also, we defeated the Monster King and ended the Monster Stampede."

After hearing the words "Monster King" and "Monster Stampede," the expressions of Lugh and Andreas became serious.

"As expected of my son." Helen nodded proudly. "You really take after me. Can you tell me more about the battle?"

"I can show it to you," Leone said calmly. "But it will probably take a long time for you to see everything."

"Don’t worry." Helen smirked. "I have all the time in the world."

The corner of Andreas’ lips twitched. Didn’t his daughter mention that she was a very busy person earlier?

However, since he was also curious about this so-called war, he decided to keep silent.

"Understood." Leone nodded. "I will use a magical artifact to show you everything that happened."

Truth be told, he was a bit reluctant to show the battle between him, the Darkmane Tribe, and the Monster King.

But since his mother and his great grandfather were there to watch, he thought this might be a good opportunity for them to praise him a bit.

A moment later, a projection appeared at the entrance of the cave. There, it showed the start of the battle between the Aslan Tribe and the Darkmane Tribe.

Everyone, including the butler and the guards, quieted down and watched the projection with all ‌their attention.

They were quite familiar with projections like this since the Royal Family of the Radiant Empire also used them to make important announcements to the public.

An hour later, the projection finally ended.

"Leone, let’s have a proper talk later," Helen said in a solemn tone.

Leone thought she would praise him for a job well done. But seeing her reaction, he believed that his mother had something important to tell him.

Lugh, on the other hand, looked very impressed. He now saw his great grandson in a new light.

As for Andreas, he would have praised Leone and said, "As expected of someone who holds the Helion Blodline." But since the little devil was trying to rob him at the moment, he couldn’t muster even a single word of praise.

"Well then, let’s talk about the matter at hand." Lugh took the initiative to talk about the heart of the topic. "Leone, how did you manage to enter the dragon’s nest?"

The young man then explained about Lord Azar and its predicament.

After hearing that the young man truly had been given the right to get everything inside the Dragon’s Nest, Andreas could only grit his teeth in frustration.

"Leone, what you are doing is a good thing," Helen answered. "But the Helion Family also needs the gold in this treasury. I don’t want to admit it, but even my failure of a father had sent some people to protect our family in the past. Can you spare him some pocket change?"

Andreas almost coughed up blood then and there.

’What pocket change?’ Andreas cursed internally. ’Am I a beggar?!’

"I am willing to leave half of the gold and precious gems for the Helion Family, Mother," Leone replied. "But there’s one problem. Even if I leave it here, can they take it?"

At that, Andreas had no words to say. They had been trying for many years, but the defenses remained strong.

"Then, can you bring it out for them?" Helen asked in a teasing tone. "Don’t give them everything. Since you already took half, how about you give my father a third, and keep the rest inside the dragon’s nest?"

After a quick internal discussion with Daedalus, Leone confirmed that it was possible.

"Very well, Mother," Leone replied. "I will send a third of the remaining gold coins toward the entrance of the treasury. Tell everyone to back down a bit."

"You heard him." Helen smirked.

Andreas reluctantly took several steps back, while ordering the guards to do the same.

Jeeves followed behind his Master, while Lugh also backed away.

Once Leone had confirmed that everyone was already a good distance away from the entrance, he ordered Daedalus to send the gold to the entrance.

The loud tinkling of coins falling to the ground spread in the surroundings.

Andreas watched as a small hill of gold coins formed in front of him, making his mouth open wide.

This was only a third of what remained of the treasure that his no-good grandson had left behind for the Helion Family, and it still created a small hill in front of them.

According to his estimate, this amount would yield millions of gold coins.

It was more than enough to sustain their family for at least a decade even if they were to continue warring with the neighboring kingdoms!

"Well done, Leone," Helen praised her son. "You easily did what my father failed to do for many years."

Andreas didn’t even have time to be angry at his daughter’s jab at his incompetence, for his eyes were focused on the gold coins in front of him.

He was already thinking of ways to store this gold properly without notifying anyone from the Radiant Empire.

The guards were all loyal to the Helion Family, so there was no worry about them sharing this information with others.

Now that the issue of gold coins had been dealt with, Lugh decided to call out to someone, which he believed was protecting Leone at this moment.

"Are you there, Hassan?" Lugh asked.

He was the one who sent his personal subordinates to protect Helen in the Kingdom of Britannia.

Hassan was one of them.

As soon as his name was called, the masked assassin moved from Leone’s shadow and made his appearance.

"It has been a while, Master," Hassan replied before kneeling on the ground.

Helen had been keeping in touch with her grandfather and mentioned that she had asked Hassan to protect Leone, who had been exiled from the Kingdom of Britannia.

"I have good news for you," Lugh said. "Your sister is now cured of her disease. I will be sending her soon to Helen so that she can protect her in your stead."

"Thank you, Master," Hassan replied in a very grateful tone. "This servant will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. I am willing to obey any orders without fail."

"Then, continue to protect Leone," Lugh ordered. "It seems that my grandson has inherited all of my finest qualities. This also means that he will always find himself in troublesome situations, so make sure to ensure his safety."

"Yes, Master!" Hassan replied.

Lugh then glanced at Yuni, and a kind smile appeared on his face. "So, great grandson of mine, is this young lady here your lover?"

"Yes, Great Grandfather," Leone answered without hesitation, while holding Yuni’s hand.

Yuni smiled and gave Leone’s hand a little squeeze. Being introduced like this to Leone’s family was proof that he had intended to take their relationship seriously.

"Good." Lugh liked the young man’s decisiveness and nodded in approval. "I have heard about your circumstances from Helen. Seeing that you seem to be in a pinch, I decided to send some minstrels to keep you company."

"Minstrels?" Leone blinked.

"Yes." Lugh smirked. "You may not have heard of them, but there is a famous Minstrel Troupe here in the Radiant Empire. They are called the Orion Troupe. I’m sure they will be a very fine addition to the Aslan Tribe."

Leone had no idea what his great grandfather was planning. But for some reason, he could tell that the Hero of the Radiant Empire was planning to send him people who would play a major role in the growth and advancement of the Aslan Tribe.
