His aura was like that of a true gentleman no matter what angle one looked at him from.

"How have you been doing young master..." The man asked, a smile on his lips.

"I\'m fine and don\'t call me young master..." Quinn said slowly walking towards the table as he took his seat opposite the man.

"You know ever since you had, um, \'left\' home. The family has been gravely worried about you..." Old Man Mang said looking at Quinn who had a blank expression on his face.

"Your father and brothers searched around for you but we soon heard you\'ve chosen to join the EIA. A choice they\'re not proud of or agree to. But nothing can be done, you\'re an EIA Member now and under their care too. Though it\'s pretty hard you leaving home without a note and all..."  Old Man Mang said cooly while tapping his index finger on his knees.

"Ah, firstly Old Man Mang. I don\'t have a father. Secondly, I don\'t have brothers. Thirdly, I don\'t have a family, I\'m a lone wolf.  They don\'t need to worry about how I choose to live my life since anyway I\'m the bastard of the family. Why worry so much about the insignificant bastard? You all should just focus on raising the so-called prodigies..." Quinn said as a vein popped on his head, and blue light flared brightly through the blindfold he was putting on.

"But you do have a mother..." Old Man Mang replied as he watched Quinn\'s reaction, the vein on his head disappearing while the light from his blindfold slowly dimmed.

"We both know she\'s a lost cause, Old Mang..." Quinn replied with heaviness in his voice though he acted as visibly calm as he could.

"That\'s what we both thought..." Old Mang said laying down a piece of paper before him.

Quinn looked at Old Mang, the familiar face he could remember from young that would never age, before diverting his gaze as he picked up the paper.

"An invitation? The Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins?" Zeras asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, I was given the invitation to invite a single genius that I had in mind to join the expedition, and you\'re the only one that comes to mind..." Old Man Mang replied.

"I believe that single genius should be one belonging to the family. And I\'m no longer part of the family. Thank you Old Man Mang," Quinn said pushing the invitation back to him.

"Quinn" Old Man Mang suddenly called out, to which Quinn slowed down his ascent.

"You know, I\'ve watched you and been there since the first second of your life. I watched as you grew from an infant to a young man. I can confidently say no one understands you more than I do.

I\'ve watched you go through three states of emotion. The first was when your mother was present, you really loved her Quinn, even when the whole family called you a bastard when your father rejected you. You still had a happy smile and never hated or blamed anyone. You were satisfied, then your mother was your only pillar and that was everything you needed.

But then your mother was taken away and since then you have grown cold. You became unfeeling and your hatred for the family began and was ever growing. You hated but you were weak. You wanted to forget those peaceful times and embrace the chaotic emotions. Time became hard as the hatred in you grew, and then you ran away from home and came to join the EIA. That was your second state of emotion..." Old Man Mang said taking off his eyeglass as he gently ropped it.

"I\'ve seen Al the reports about you know in the EIA. You\'ve once again changed. The coldness has disappeared and it said you even made some friends..." Old Man Mang said, flashing a smile at him.

 "Well, good change right?" Quinn asked rubbing his head.

"You might fool everyone but you can\'t fool me, Quinn. You\'re trying to forget your past. Perhaps new company, new friends, new people, new groups, perhaps they\'ll make you forget that past you left behind but I can see they do nothing..." Old Man Mang said.

"Tch, how are you so sure of that, Old man," Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You\'re still cultivating so hard, you\'ve not truly given up on saving your mother, have you? Even though it is pretty hopeless, you still welcome that possibility, don\'t you?" Old Man Mang asked with confidence to which Quinn remained quiet.

"So here\'s your only chance. This Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins. With it, all your answers to entering the ancestral ground of the Voidspace family will be obtained.

With it, you\'ll have that one thing you\'ve ever wanted..."

Quinn sat there stupidly numbed as he picked up the paper in his shaky hands.

" This is something only a few people in the Voidspace family know but actually the Ancestral ground of the Voidspace family was taken off from the Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins in the first place. So if you can enter into the place, then you definitely will be able to find a way to enter into the one in the family and bring back your mother.

Besides it hides the secret to why the Nine families are so strong today and that does not exclude the Voidspace family. In all ways, if there\'s a person who can\'t afford to miss this Event, then it\'s you..."

"So Quinn, will you accept this invite, for the sake of that which you hold dear but slowly slipping away?" Old Man Mang\'s gentle whispers were like thunders ringing into his ears.

"I... But..." Quinn struggled to come to terms with the condition as he was faced with the dream of his life.

"Hey, this is not for you. It\'s for your mother who is sitting down there. You know well she\'s waiting for you, waiting for you to come wake her up. And she never gave up on that you\'ll come one day, so don\'t give up on yourself too Quinn..." Old Man Mang said his palms firmly holding his shoulders.

"I... Thank you Old Man Mang..."  Quinn said as he rolled the invitation and bowed his head to him.

"You don\'t need to thank me, I\'m just doing what any father would for his son..." Old Man Mang said with a smile.

"But I\'m part of the EIA now, would they agree to this?" Quinn asked, he was well aware there was a probability the EIA wouldn\'t agree to that, and leaving the EIA due to that would be next to impossible.

"Don\'t worry about that. They won\'t want to tear off the face of the first Voidspace butler like that. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to your participation.

But let me warn you of just how heavy the weight of this event truly is..." Old Man Mang said ready to unleash a secret that will turn the world upside down if heard... n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
