The Ancient Genes

In one of the Luxurious Hotels in Capital.

An old man with black hair and a few whites ones mixed in sat on the couch. His face had a few wrinkles, but his body seemed vigorous and was exuding a strong sense of righteousness.

"How is Rio doing, Sirius?" The old man asked with a smile.

He was the Lord of Lorenz House, Garry Lorenz.

"Why aren't you coming to the mansion if you are so worried about him, my Lord?" Sirius asked as he looked at him.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "You know how he is…."

Sirius couldn't retort that. The kid blamed his father for being trapped in the mansion and hated him. He even threw a fit and refused to eat when the old man came to the mansion last time.

"He is still a child, my lord. I am sure he will realise it once he is old enough…" Sirius tried to console him.

"Brat, you think you are old enough to console this old man.." The Lord looked at Sirius with a smile. He was naturally aware of the situation. He was a Lord after all, even if he was hurting his child a bit, it was all for his safety. Life as a Noble wasn't easy.

"How is the new kid doing?" The old man suddenly asked, he was referring to Max.

"He is an interesting one.…." Sirius said with a smile.

"Oh!" The old man naturally didn't expect such a response, he knew Sirius very well after all.

"I don't know what magic he played but he even managed to make the Young Lord acknowledge him as a teacher...though it is still too early to decide yet…" Sirius further said.

"How is Elly doing?" The old man asked as he looked at Sirius.

"The same as usual…" Sirius said as his smile dimmed.

The old man sighed as well.

Elly had been like that since the day he had brought her with him. Never expressing any desire. Following his every word.

There was only one exception that she refused to train her unique powers. The old man didn't force her since he knew that an event had left her with some kind of trauma….

Not to mention it was better if she hid her powers, the Ancient families were not someone he wanted his Granddaughter to be associate with...

There had been cases like this in the past where people with rare abilities had emerged but were all taken away by the Ancient families and most of them were never seen again…

The old man didn't know what happened to them...but he didn't think they were up to any good...

But he still wished for the girl to behave more like a normal girl of her age. This was what her parents wished for her as well.

"Is there any kind of development regarding her social abilities…." The old man asked with a bit of hope.

This was another one of the problems. The girl didn't seem to like interacting with people. She would put a facade and do so if asked but….it was not a solution...he was worried about her….she had only a few female friends….what would happen when he was gone? Could she even find someone to spend the rest of her life with anyone…..

The last time he brought up the topic of marriage with her granddaughter in a humorous way when one of his friends had asked for Elly's hand in marriage for their grandson….of course he refused as the child wasn't up to mark....but still he wanted to check Elly's attitude towards the topic and to his surprise, her response was...

"As long as you ask me to, I will marry that person." Her eyes were dead, she was serious.

It was clear, she couldn't care less. She seemed to be living in a world where she didn't feel herself as important, she just didn't want to be a burden to anyone and hence has never been wilful.

It really broke the old man's heart seeing Elly like that….

How would he face his son and daughter-in-law? He had promised to take care of their child and….now...

His worries were endless...only if there was a guy who could win his granddaughter's favor….it didn't matter who he was as long as it was a decent person, he would get the guy for his granddaughter at any cost…

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open and a familiar figure walked in.

Both Sirius and the Lorenz Lord were dumbfounded at the sudden arrival of the old man who didn't seem to be in the best mood.

"What are you doing here? And who dared to piss you off?" Lorenz Lord asked as he looked at him with a smile.

It was Lisa's grandfather and his old friend. He was obviously happy to see him.

"Who pissed me off? It's your granddaughter!" The old man replied in anger as he flicked his wrist and a picture went flying, piercing half the way into the armrest of the old man's couch.

The Lorenz Lord looked at the old man with a strange gaze. Elly offended him? He just couldn't imagine it?

The old pulled out the picture stuck in the armrest and the next instant, his eyes widened.

He was shocked to his core.

"This isn't edited right?" He suddenly stood up and grabbed the old man's arm.

"Of course it's not…" Lisa's Grandfather was taken aback when he saw the look in his eyes. There was even a faint hint of killing intent which was warning him not to lie.

"Hahaha!!!!!" The Lorenz Lord suddenly let go of the old man's hand and began to laugh like crazy. His eyes were filled with joy.

Both Sirius and Lisa's grandfather couldn't understand his behavior. They exchanged a look and seemed to be communicating with each other…

'Did he go insane? Is he hurt?'

'I don't think so..' Sirius hesitated but then shook his head.

…..

Two hours later…

Edwinson House, Capital.

Max's Grandfather, the Lord, was recuperating in his chamber. The battle had resulted in injuries and tomorrow was the celebration event, he had to at least show his face.

But at this moment, two fierce aura descended from the sky and clashed right above his Mansion.

The waves disrupted his state and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"What are these two idiots fighting above my mansion for?' The old man was angered as he recognised the two auras and immediately rushed out to have a look. After all, if he had let them do as they wish, it was possible that they had destroy his family.

....

One guy was taking a bath at this moment unaware of the crisis that was about descend in his life...
