The Ancient Genes

Chapter 823 Old Man Sun’s Headache”This place sure feels a little different..” Max muttered inwardly as he looked through the window. This was his second time in a Spatial pouch, and it felt a lot different when compared to the Ancient Cemetery he had found Orena.

Currently, he was left all alone in the room. The Matriarch left a little earlier. She was most probably waiting for him to heal, and then get stricter on him.

And, of course, he wasn’t left unchecked, Max could feel a few strong auras keeping a tab on him.

’Most likely Supremes..’ Max sighed inwardly. It seemed they didn’t want to underestimate him any longer. He would have to be obedient for a while.

Max could feel Erina and Synthia’s presence around, and had already informed them about this situation. Synthia would have to wait for a while as Max needed a little time to get out of here.

To be honest, he had already made his move in the outside world to ensure that he could leave this place. After all, he had no idea how long they might keep him imprisoned here. And, in all his honesty, Max knew that he didn’t have much time to spare around.

But, before leaving, he needed to make sure that he won the trust of the Crimsons, and established himself as someone worth investing in. Aside from that, there was only one more thing which interested Max here.

It was the Ancient Cemetery.

Yes! It was Max’s speculations that every Spatial Pouch was actually a place where the Ancient Cemetery was located. It was same for the other Ancient Families and so Max was sure that one of them was here too.

According to the things Max knew, he had formed his own hypothesis. He knew that there were 12 Artifacts, which probably meant that there should have originally been 12 Ancient Families or Clans who protected these Artifacts in their own respective Spatial pouches.

But time or some unknown factors had erased a few Ancient Families from existence. And, if Max was right, the Ancient Cemetery he came across was probably a destroyed Spatial Pouch which once housed an Ancient Family. And, the same was probably true for cemetery his mother came across.

Max wanted to go on a search for it, but now was not the right time. He needed to recover a little, and it was probably good to stay a little quiet after causing so much of a commotion.

…

Yule Family, Ocien.

”Patriarch, there has been someone requesting an audience with you..” A servant came up to Old man Sun and informed him with a bow.

”Did he say something?” Old man Sun asked. He was the Patriarch of a family, and normally, he wasn’t someone that you could easily meet even if he was wasting his time away.

”Sir, he actually passed on a crest.” The Servant took out a crest, and showed it to the old man.

At first glance, Old man Sun didn’t recognize it at all, but when he concentrated a little, he realized that there was an illusion type formation drawn on the crest, and the real identity of the crest was hidden unless it was an expert judging it.

’Edwinson?’ The Old man’s lip twitched when he realized that it belonged to Max. If Max was here, then it meant that the old man had to do some work for him.

”Send him in..” The Old man waved his hand with a sullen face.

But, when the person came in, it wasn’t Max. It was someone whom Old man Sun had seen by Max’s side.

It was Naze.

The old man didn’t say anything, but just looked at him.

Naze understood what it meant, and spoke with a smile, “I am here with another request..”

Old Man Sun’s face twitched slightly on that. He knew that he had lost the bet, and had no choice but to obey Max as the brat kept threatening him using the Ancient Family. And, even if that wasn’t there, he still had a face to maintain.

How could he go back on his words?

”Speak..” Old man said as he looked at Naze.

”Well, there was a little incident yesterday…and one of our teammates went missing. And, Max went after him, but before going he said to look for you if he didn’t return in 3 days..”

Old Man Sun frowned a little. He didn’t think that sly brat would need help that easily. And, with the backing of the Ancient Family, there probably weren’t many who would dare to touch him except for the Demons. And, he had kept his eyes on the city, and hadn’t felt anything recently.

”Where did he go?” Old man Sun asked as he stared at Naze.

”He went to the back mountains of the Scarlet House..”

Those words immediately made the Old man’s eyes widen a little. But, he calmed himself down. It wasn’t possible for someone at Max’s level to discover the Spatial pouch, so there was probably not a need to worry.

”And, we have lost connection with him for a whole day now….so I came to report early..”

’Sh*t!’ The Old man cursed inwardly. He knew that it had happened somehow. There was no other way to make sense of this event, the back mountains were indeed big, but it should not take much time to search the place when the brat had the ability to fly.

And, losing connections only strengthened his fears that Max had entered the Spatial pouch.

But, the question was, how?

Even he couldn’t break into the Spatial Pouch, so how could Max slip into it.

’Did they let him in?’ Old Man Sun couldn’t help but think like that. But, that wasn’t possible. Especially with the Matriarch’s cautious personality.

’This is going to be a mess…’ Old Man Sun could already feel a headache. After all, if he was to get Max out, it meant that he had to deal with the old hag, and even take responsibility for Max.

He was going to get on the bad side of the old hag with nothing to gain in return.

Talk about a fair exchange!!!

But, who could he blame but himself!

He was the one with a big mouth, and made a bet with Max.
