Chapter 107: Family that doesn't stick together

The day dawned.

The clock was ticking loudly inside the office. The silence inside the office was so deep that the clock seemed to be ticking very slowly to the chairman.

He was dead worried.

Neul's absence made him think about his memories as a father but sadly, he found it depressing.

I never thought about Neul like this before.

He looked at the pictures which were on his table but there was no picture of him in the family photo. There wasn't even a baby picture of Neul besides his school group photo at the very corner. But it wasn't on his table or on the walls where everyone's photos hang. His existence inside the house wasn't welcomed from the very beginning.

Some photos on his Instagram were found but they were all some photos that he took outside the house. Not even a single friend was with him nor his single picture.

His lonely bike ride pictures around the city, some pictures of him drinking cokes inside an abandoned factory and the chairman noticed something.

There was no clear picture of him anywhere on his social media. He never took a picture of him where his full face could be seen. He was already invisible.

It's just your ID photo that I have.

He shook his head and mumbled, 'Just what kind of life you lived under my shadow?'

"It looks like you created your own shadow under mine."

The clock turned 9 PM but there was no further news about Neul. The police checked all the CCTV footage around and outside the town but he was nowhere to be seen. Since he left all of his belongings, the chairman was worried about him.

At that moment the chairman's wife came in and said, "What are you doing? If you find him, cut his allowance for this month and place two more bodyguards around him so that he can't do anything that affects the company's reputation."

The chairman thought about it and said, "Aren't you worried about Neul?"

"Why should I? I know he's doing something really bad. If he does something this time, I will send him to his grandma for the next 5 years."

"He left everything that he had with him this morning."

"What!! Now I'm sure that he has joined a gang or something. Ugh!! I'm really disappointed in him. Tell those bodyguards to come back. I'll inform the police to stop looking for him. Tsk!! What a waste of my time!"

The chairman wasn't angry. Instead, he was surprised by her reactions. He became more worried about his son's situation and her reactions made him think about how Neul grew up inside the house. He never spent any family time with anyone in his whole life.

So you were always alone.

He looked at his ID photo since it was the only clear picture he has ever taken.

Come to think of it, I've never spent any time with him as I did with the other three. I've been on vacation with those three leaving him behind because I heard he was sick. We never took him to the official party because the eldest told me that he was sick.

Everytime we had a chance to spend our time together, the eldest told us that he was sick and couldn't leave his bed. So why do I feel uneasy about this…

…

Somewhere in an amusement park.

"Vik, are you sure about this?"

"I'm damn sure."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am so shut up."

Ivon and Rae were on a huge spinning pendulum waiting for the ride to start. All seats were booked but they were lucky enough to get two tickets for the ride.

Even though they could fly around, Rae wanted to try the spinning pendulum to feel some excitement.

The bell rang and the pendulum started to spin as it swing up and down. The crowd started to scream in excitement.

"Um.. Vik. It's not that fun."

"I told you. We can't feel it because it's the same feeling as we fly around the sky up and down."

Ivon and Rae were sitting there with poker faces while the others nearly screamed their souls out.

It was too noisy.

After some seconds, Rae told him that it was nowhere near the feeling that they feel when they fly around. It was such a waste of time.

"I told you though…"

"Let's leave."

"Hmm. Let's just sit and wait. We won't be coming here for a while you know. Let's just enjoy the screaming."

"Okay. Let's go to the mountains after this. I want to see the shrine that I saw on the internet."

"Okay."

Both of them got off the pendulum and looked around the park to try the other rides. Ivon had a bank account on a fake ID that he used to save the money that he earned from his book and gambling. After he died, his stepmother tried to search for the money he incomed but for the lack of information, she was unable to withdraw the money. For some reason, she died but Viktor didn't bother to look into it.

So, Ivon took them all right after he came back on earth to roam around here and there.

The account was jacked with 40 million won and 90% of it was earned from gambling.

After they finished visiting all the park sides, both of them sat down on a bench with two cans of beer to finish their day.

The park was getting empty as the clock reached 12.

"Vik, what is your goal in life?"

Ivon was flabbergasted to hear his question all of a sudden.

"My goal? Do you think a criminal like me has the right to achieve my goal?"

Rae took a sip from his can and said, "You did nothing though. So why are you scared?"

"I did nothing and still they didn't bother to kill me. Do you really think I'll be okay if I appear again? It's better to play dead."

Rae became silent because the thing Ivon said was actually true. His birth wasn't his fault and he never did anything bad. Not just him, there are millions of innocent guardians who died because they were weak and useless. And nobody can say a word against the creator's orders.

"Then how about controlling humans since you don't have anything to do? Make an organization by gathering those humans who have mana within their bodies."

"Nah, I already passed that episode where I was a branch leader of an international organization. I'm too lazy for that again. And I just want to sleep peacefully."

"Hahahaha!!! You are still the same."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Hah…I want to sleep but I don't have a warm bed yet. Let's just walk around the city where I've never been before in my past life. I'm sure Adonis will find me out in the meantime.

Suddenly, he spotted a man from Neul's house who was looking around with a phone near his ear. He was talking with someone loudly.

Is the chairman still looking for me? He's sure a man who chases around after letting the hare go.

"Vik, that man is looking for you."

"Yes, I noticed it already."

"Do you want to go back?" Rae asked.

At that moment, Ivon cast a teleportation spell and they quickly went to the temple that Rae was talking about. Rae was surprised by the sudden change of places but his mind quickly changed after he saw the temple.

"I guess you have no intention of going back." He smiled and went inside the dark empty temple.

Yea. I'm too old and tired of family stuff.

…

Adonis's POV :

A day ago right after Ivon came to earth.

Adonis was walking towards the destroyed apartment where they used to live some hours ago to pick up some of his master's belongings. The bed that he loved so much was still burning. The flower his master used to take care of was destroyed and the painting that his master was unable to finish was also destroyed. Everything that his master used to use was destroyed by the guardian.

He was heartbroken.

"Master, I'm sorry."

He took the half-burning painting and went inside his dimension room to have a long conversation with Welis who was currently in Elena's body.

"Hey!! I sensed everything from here. The dragon punk died, right?"

Adonis had no expression on his face but a vexed one. He was so devastated that he would kill anyone if something went a toe out of his orders.

"Sit down and listen you piece of shit. I'm not going to be kind since my master isn't round. If you don't want me to disappoint my master, you have to do exactly what I say. Do you have any objections?"

The aura around him was so cold and murderous that Welis nodded yes by his survival instinct. His mouth was paralysed because of the pressure.

"So, I'm going to cast a slave spell on you so you don't do anything besides my order."

Welis nodded yes and gave him his hand to make the slave bond.

He just wanted to live.

"I'm glad that you can understand what I'm saying. That's more like it. Since you're in a woman's body, act and talk like a woman. You have the mind and soul of a guardian. I don't think this won't be hard for you, am I correct?"

Welis nodded yes as he was casting the spell on his body. Deep down, he was scared to his death. He felt like death was an inch away from his soul waiting to squeeze it out if he move a cell in the wrong way.

The seal was made and Adonis dragged him out of the dimension room. He was shocked to see the city. It was nearly a ruin and so many people were working to dig the dead body from under the pile of building concrete. He looked above and saw the clear sky where it was supposed to have more than 3 floors.

The rain started to fall on the dry ruined apartment.

He saw the back of Adonis as he was picking something from the pile of concrete and saw a picture of Viktor. It was a painting that Viktor painted where he was sitting on a chair and Adonis standing on his back.

"Um. Adonis. What are you going to do now…"

"We go straight to my master because the link between us is still here. I am sure master planned this all along and he gave me a chance to find him out. He's waiting for me."

"Is Viktor dead?" Welis asked.

Adonis turned around and said, "If that word slips through those lips of yours ever again in your life, I will make sure to kill you with the slowest but the most terrifying process in the whole universe. I will give you the test of living hell as long as I'm alive. And I'm pretty sure that I'm an immortal being."

Welis gulped through his dry mouth and said, "Then, let's go and find him out. I don't want to wait either."

"That's good then."

Adonis cracked the portal stone and a dark looking portal appeared in front of them. It was slowly getting smaller so both of them didn't wait and jumped right into it so that their lifetime opportunity doesn't slip through.

Both of them left the magical world.
