BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31: Reunion Part 2
Chapter 31: Reunion Part 2
Seeing his parents again, even though he knew they were fine after the [Awakening] happened on Earth, Nova was overwhelmed by emotions and he barely contained himself not to cry in front of them.
In a few milliseconds, he was in front of them and hugged them tight. Martin and Arin were stunned for a while seeing Nova\'s speed, before recovering and hugging Nova back, even tighter.
"My child, are you okay, what are you doing here?
Asked Arin concerned, a few tears formed in her eyes.
"I\'m okay, Mom! I\'m happy to see you again. Mom, Dad, I\'m going to participate in the tournament as a representative of the Star Sect."
Said Nova somewhat proudly.
And he had reasons to be proud seeing his parents become so shocked.
"How are you a disciple of the Star Sect?" Asked Martin after recovering himself, the situation didn\'t make any sense for him.
"Let\'s talk somewhere else, there are many people here." Indeed a few people were giving them strange looks considering the commotion they caused.
After they all got back to Nova\'s room, he started explaining to them everything that happened to him in the past month, obscuring a few details about the Apex Bloodline and Star of Origin.
"So it started like this..."
They were sad when they heard about how many people died and the feelings of their son when he was concerned about them. It shocked them when they heard about his [Awakening] or his encounter with a dungeon a few hours after he awakened.
Furious when they heard that it was a Peak Dungeon of a higher class, and finally amused about his encounter with Imperia.
They started to give him teasing looks and he finally changed the subject.
"Finally when I got to the planet you left the coordinates for teleportation, after a breakthrough Denzel and Sophie appeared out of nowhere..."
He told them everything that happened to him in only a few hours and finally, he got to the present.
"So the changes to the Bloodline Tablet were made by the fact that your Apex Bloodline devoured the Space-Time Bloodline of our family?" Martin and Arin were finally relieved to hear that.
Matter of fact, they were happy to know that their son awakened a high-class Bloodline that strengthened itself from devouring other Bloodlines.
\'Speaking of devouring, that\'s what my Limitless Ability evolved to, \'Devour\'. It can eat the bloodlines of other people I kill and better strengthen my body, mind, and even the Apex Star of Origin, truly a perfect Ability.\'
Thought Nova to himself, letting his parents know only about his Limitless Ability; "Mom, Dad are you going to attend the banquet?"Nova curiously asked his parents.
"Yes, only if your father would have bought a suit earlier and not forgotten about it again."
Said Arin somewhat angrily and also embarrassed because she also forgot why she was out with Martin in the first place.
That was family love, an emotion so strong it could make you forget something and focus only on it, speaking of which; "Oh, shit! My suit! I forgot about it again and there\'s only one hour left until the banquet." Said Martin while panicking.
After they laughed for a few moments, they once again separated with Martin and Arin going to buy a suit and Nova relaxing for the remaining time before the banquet.
After they left Nova stood for a few minutes in his room before hearing a knock-knock sound at the door.
When he opened it he was a little taken aback seeing Melissa in a provocative red dress that showed much of her arms and legs.
\'Calm down boy, you have Imperia...\' Nova tried to hypnotize himself that he was taken already.
"Why aren\'t you ready yet? Haven\'t you heard that we are going earlier?" Asked Melissa, cutely tilting her head.
Nova almost facepalmed when he heard that because he indeed forgot about it.
\'It seems it\'s from my father. It should be a gene transmission some sorts.\'
"Please wait two minutes so I will change." Without giving another explanation he closed the door shut.
Melissa was a little bit stunned seeing him act like this. \'How\'s he in a hurry now when he\'s the last one to get ready anyway?\' She was truly left speechless by Nova.
Exactly two minutes later the door was once again opened and Melissa blushed, as she was charmed by the good-looking Nova before her.
He was wearing a golden suit that accentuated his golden hair and eyes, with a white necktie that made him look like an apostle coming to save mortal people from the apocalypse.
When Melissa realized she was blushing, she turned her head from Nova and started walking.
"L-Let\'s go already!" stuttering for a while, she increased her peace as she was almost running and not walking.
Nova just shrugged seeing her like that and started following after her to meet with the others. After a few minutes, they all met at the entrance of a grand hallway that was a few hundred meters long and almost twenty meters tall. It was lavishly decorated with golden walls and white-bluish marble.
They exchanged a few pleasantries, but undoubtedly the ones who stood out the most were Elura and Nova. They looked like a match made in heaven, both wearing golden-white clothes and having golden hair and eyes.
Even Melissa was overshadowed by them and couldn\'t help but exclaim.
"Wow, you two look like a couple!~~" Said Melissa like a diehard fan. She looked so adorable right now, those surrounding them slipped a few glances.
Hearing this Elura blushed profusely and then berated her; "Shut up, Mel! Do you want to be punished?!" Elura berated Melissa, mostly from the fact that what she said made her blush.
"Uuw, sowwy big sister El!" said Melissa acting as if she was afraid of Elura\'s threat.
"Wait, you two are sisters?" Asked Nova feeling confused as the two of them didn\'t have any sign of resemblance at all.
The others were looking at him like an idiot before remembering that he wasn\'t in the Star Sect and couldn\'t possibly know these matters.
"You could say so, a few years ago my parents were killed by a demon and it was my big sister Elura who took me in and took care of me. Anyway, I consider her my big sister, and she considers me a little sister, so say what you want big brother Nova." Said Melissa somewhat proudly.
Nova nodded before he caught on to her last line.
"Did you just say \'big brother Nova\'?" Asked Nova just to be sure.
"Mhm, of course! Why, you don\'t want it?" Asked Melissa with a few tears threatening to form in her eyes.
"You! How could you make my little sister cry!" exclaimed Elura pretending to be angry.
Nova was speechless by the situation unfurling before him. "Okay, okay, please don\'t cry little sister Melissa." Said Nova feeling a headache approaching him soon in the future.
"You can simply call me Mel brother Nova, hehe.~" Said Melissa, her fake tears instantly disappearing from her face.
Nova was once again rendered speechless by these two girls\' schemes.
The others all laughed seeing this scene before them and all the tension formed because of Nova seemed to dissipate in the air like it never existed, to begin with.
After laughing for a while they finally decided to enter the entrance before them where the banquet was being held.
Barely making their way through the door they observed the room was fully packed with people all looking in their direction. Some looked at them with fear, others with envy and greed, or even lust.
A few seconds after entering a voice announced their entrance just like celebrities.
"Guests from the Star Sect arrived! Everyone, please give them a warm welcome!" The voice grandly welcomed them.
All people no matter their status or that they were Stae 9 powerhouses got to their feet and started clapping while also giving them warm smiles.
A guide came to them and it was precisely Harith from the Vientienne family, he quickly approached Nova and whispered something to him before showing them to their seats.
With how good everyone\'s hearing was, how could they not hear a Stage 7 whisper? They all wondered what business Nova had with the Vientienne princess.
The guys were giving him thumbs-up while the girls were rolling their eyes at Nova.
"Good job securing one, brother Nova!" said little Melissa with a perverted smile.
Nova already had enough of this group and didn\'t even care about them anymore. He just waited for the five minutes to pass just like Harith said before Imperia would make her appearance.
And, indeed five minutes were gone in a flash before another announcement was made; "Welcome to the Vientienne family!"
Hearing that Nova instantly looked at the entrance, before suddenly smiling.
There were two people in front, a middle-aged man built like a lion, and a girl in her 20s so breathtaking that every single man\'s gaze followed her every single action.
Seeing Nova suddenly smiling the other turned to look for him, only to realize that he disappeared from his spot.
Even Elura didn\'t see how he moved and she was shocked about this, because she was more than 3 Great Stages ahead of him and still couldn\'t see it.
What to say about the people who barely entered the banquet? They were all shocked to see a handsome teen suddenly appearing in front of them and exuding a majestic aura.
When Imperia saw Nova again she was angry at first, but it didn\'t last long. Because when she saw his smile and heard him talk, everything melted away.
"It\'s been a while." From Nova\'s voice could be heard a multitude of emotions and feelings.
