The Ancient Genes

Chapter 665 - In Trouble

"It's time for some answers, kid.." The old man looked at Max with a menacing smile on his face. He sure had been fooled by a little guy. And that as a Supreme Tier Mage was not a thing to be proud of. He would be turning into a laughing stock, if people ever found out about it.

Max was about to fall into a state of unconsciousness, but the old man wasn't allowing him the easy way out. The next instant, he felt a searing feeling all over his body as if someone had dumped into a pot of boiling oil.

"Uh.." Max gritted his teeth, refusing to scream.

The Old man's face immediately turned dark. He could already understand one thing. Max was going to be a tough nut to crack. If he was so stubborn to not even let out a squeak, one could imagine how hard it was going to get the facts out of him.

"This is the last chance, kid, I have got nothing personal with you. Your will has even impressed me. It will be a pity for a person like you to die young. Just give me what I want and I will let you go. This is a promise from me, and I don't go back on my words.." He decided to give Max a last chance, it was very rare for him to come across young people like him.

He had a fair idea about the upcoming future, and to be honest, he didn't want to kill a seedling with such a potential.

'To think he finished off that guy…' The old man could definitely see the bald guy's head and body at two different places.

But, it was pity that what Max had taken was too precious for him to even consider a negotiation here. If he didn't return that thing, he would just tortured him to death. It was either he spoke or die in silence.

"I don't know what you are talking about.." Max muttered with difficulty looking at the guy.

As soon as he said those words, his arms were immediately set ablaze. And, these flames were something that even he couldn't counter. The old man was just at another level.

"Whoosh!"

The flames vanished, and the old man looked at Max who was breathing heavily and spoke again, "Willing to speak now?"

"That thing doesn't belong to you?" Max muttered as he looked at the old man while lying there. He knew that if he refused to acknowledge the fact, and kept getting tortured, he might really die.

He needed to buy time. He was sure that the Supreme from the Ancient Family would act. He had to. This old man was clearly an enemy now. And, according to the terms, they would act if an enemy at the level of Supreme appeared.

"So you have it in the end, that's good enough for now.." The old man smiled. At least that was certainly reassuring to him.

Well, Max's plan seemed to have backfired. And, things didn't go according to plan.

"Since, you are not talking ahead, I assume you don't have the intention to tell me its whereabouts.."

"That thing isn't your, old man. Are you going to steal it?" Max smiled even in that state of his.

'This guy is really mad..' Freya looked at Max in disbelief. He was really seeking death.

"I see, you are trying to buy time.." The old man laughed as he looked at Max. This was one of the funniest things he had experienced. It had been a long time since he had actually found a match. Even if people arrived, he could kill them with a snap of his finger.

But, he didn't want much trouble and bloodshed. Neither did he want to put the Yule Family in trouble. So, it was better if he acted in restraint.

'I won't be able to get the truth out of him here..' The old man realized that it was going to be a long hard process. If he tried to do it all here, it was evident that someone would arrive. It was better for him to get this kid and get out of here.

He would then have all the time he needed to slowly get things out of his mouth. He had done the same with a lot of people over the course of years.

'Why is no one coming?' Max was really confused and angered at the same time. For a supreme, it wouldn't even take them more than a minute to traverse across the entire battlefield.

So, how come they hadn't noticed it as of yet even when this old man had blown a hole through the ground.

This was ridiculous..

Were they planning to let him die?

Max's face turned grim when he thought about it.

"You are coming with me kid.." The Old man walked towards Max, and as he put his hand ahead to grab him, his expression changed.

His figure paused at the place, and he slowly retracted his hand. He then raised his head to look at the person standing in front of him.

It was an old man and behind him was an old lady.

They were the Progenitor of the Storm and Leviathan Family.

At the same time, four figures had surrounded the old man from all sides. They were all Supreme deployed by the Ancient Families. They seemed to have stayed aside from the battle on the order of the Progenitor of the Storm Family.

"The Kid from back then sure had gotten Young.." The Progenitor from the Storm Family smiled looking at the Old man.

"Hmmn?" The old lady from the Leviathan family sure was confused on the other side.

"Don't you remember this kid? The one who got his ass handed over by Old Von a dozens of time." He asked, looking at the old lady.

"I sure don't remember what you are talking about. Who are you people?" The old guy raised his staff calmly, he was sure ready for the battle.

"Yeah, I remember him now..." The Old lady's eyes widened in surprise.
