After hearing this, Daneel was tempted to spit in this guys face and walk out.
However, he was interested in finding out more about this threat that would definitely try to kill him in 6 months.
So, he simply raised an eyebrow and sat down, deciding to listen to what this greasy kid had to say.
"Percy, how can he be responsible for what his disciple did? I saw personally all the disgusting things your older brother did. He deserved it! Besides, he must have grown it back by now, right?"
This made Percy turn around and look at Sister Xuan, and by the look on his face, it became clear that he was curious as to why she was taking his side.
"This man is someone who was banished by the Goddess’s Sanctum. Of course, I’m on his side, even though he isn’t a part of us now."
"Oh? What was he banished for?"
"Forbidden love."
As this conversation went on between Sister Xuan and the guy who had been called Percy, Daneel started to feel more and more puzzled.
What the hell was she saying?
However, knowing that she must have some motive behind speaking like this, Daneel kept quiet and made sure to put on a neutral expression on his face.
Yet, those last two words almost made him gawk, as he remembered what they meant back on Earth.
Thankfully, he received a message from Sister Xuan the next second which cleared up his doubts.
"You need some back story so that you won’t be hounded by these three. The Matron allowed me to give you this background. ’Forbidden Love’ means that you pursued someone you weren’t supposed to, according to the rules of our Sect."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was still carrying all the main communication trinkets, so Sister Xuan was able to contact him.
"Thank her for me.", he said, as he had worried about this particular thing too when he heard that others from the Big 4 would be arriving.
He was supposed to be someone who was from the Big 4, as it was only those individuals who had the capability of doing all he had done in the name of ’Master Novrain’ in Lanthanor.
So, there would definitely be queries regarding his background, which he wouldn’t be able to answer because he knew almost nothing about the Big 4.
So, he really appreciated both Sister Xuan and the Matron for resolving this for him.
After nodding on hearing what Sister Xuan said, Percy put on an expression of deep thought for a few seconds before saying, "What you said is true, but honor dictates that I must still talk to him. Don’t worry, I won’t be too tough. Why don’t you accompany Carmen and George around the Sect while we have a chat, man to man?"
"It’s fine. Go."
Receiving this message from Daneel, Sister Xuan gave up and sighed before nodding and leaving the house along with the other two people, who were still staying silent.
After they left, Percy carefully locked the door before walking towards Daneel while rubbing his hands with a snivelly smile on his face, as if he was anticipating what he was about to do.
Daneel started to put his guard up, as he suspected that anyone who was related to that madman who had called himself the ’Mad Doctor’ must also be, well, mad.
However, when he saw what happened next, he couldn’t help but let his jaw drop.
In a smooth motion, the kid knelt on the floor in front of Daneel’s feet and said, "Sir! Please take me in as your disciple?"
What? Was Daneel going crazy? Had Skrrag hit him so hard yesterday that he was now seeing things?
Getting these doubts in his head, Daneel rubbed his eyes, but the kid was still there, kneeling with his hands stretched out and his upper body parallel to the floor with his head almost touching the ground.
Hearing no response, the kid looked up and saw Daneel looking at him with a startled expression.
Still kneeling, he made his upper body straight and took out something from his pocket.
It was a miniature sword-shaped trinket, and when the kid squeezed, it enlarged into a full-sized sword with a flowing design and a golden handle.
Holding it out in front of him, "Apologies for asking without presenting any gift for Master! This is a Warrior-level Fighter Trinket, it’s the best one I have on me! Please accept it, I beg of you!"
Still dazed, Daneel couldn’t find it in himself to answer.
This was someone from the Big 4! Wasn’t he supposed to be haughty? Wasn’t he supposed to look down on everyone else as if they were just dirt?
Instead, he was kneeling and offering gifts while begging?!
One thing was clear, though: this behavior really did match with this kid’s snivelly appearance.
And...what did he say? A Warrior-level trinket?!
The number of Warrior-level trinkets in Lanthanor could be counted on one hand, so Daneel wasn’t willing to waste this opportunity. historical
So, acting once again like the expert he was supposed to be, he took the sword into his hands and held it’s hilt while running his fingers along its length.
Seeing that the man had accepted the gift, Percy looked up with hope on his face.
After a few seconds, Daneel smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Hmm, not bad! Made from Volcanic Iron while using the scales of a hell-crocodile as a reinforcing agent. I’ll take it as a gift, but you must be delusional if you think it’s enough for me to take you on as a disciple. What do you want to learn from me, anyway? And what was all that stuff about honor? Here I thought we could have a good fight! Don’t you want to take revenge for that assh*ole of a brother of yours? Sit before answering, though, I don’t wanna bend my neck."
"Incredible! I wasn’t wrong in my judgment! Finding out the material of the trinket by just examining it! Master, you are really amazing!"
Exclaiming like so and beaming with happiness even though Daneel hadn’t said that he accepted him as his disciple, Percy got up and dusted his clothes before sitting on the sofa nearby.
Daneel, on the other hand, laughed inwardly on seeing that his ploy of using the system to analyze the trinket had worked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, he had no idea whatsoever about trinkets.
"I apologize for acting like that before, Master. I think you understand when I say that I have to keep up appearances! As for that assh*ole of a brother, I’m just regretful that he didn’t lose his tool permanently! You should hear about all the embarrassments he caused me and my father. At one point, all the woman in our Sect rallied together against him due to his lascivious comments, but our father talked them down. Since then, he was grounded until being sent to that Event. It was so fun seeing him moan in pain all day while having his tool grown back! By the way, can I borrow a mosquito so that we can have the whole thing repeat?"
In response, Daneel only raised an eyebrow.
Fearing that he might have gone too far, Percy smiled, but this made Daneel want to punch him again.
"Sorry, I got ahead of myself. The bottom line is, my younger brother inherited my dad’s lust. I’m one of his bastard sons, and my mother was just a lowly maid who died while giving birth to me. Luckily, I inherited some talent, so I wasn’t killed off like other bastard sons and daughters of his. Still, he doesn’t give two sh*ts about me. I’ve had to claw my way up in the Sect, as my father only focuses his resources on those who were born ’officially’, like the assh*ole brother in question. Master, I won’t beat around the bush. I am someone who prides myself on identifying opportunities. That’s how I became influential enough to represent my Sect here! I know that you must be in possession of a VERY powerful inheritance, because I studied both the mosquitoes that your disciple made and the anti-mosquito solution that you made. I don’t dare ask for you to pass down your inheritance to me, but I hope that by being in your service, you can teach me a few things. Please consider."
Well, things made more sense now.
It was, indeed, logical that that lust must have come from somewhere, and the story that Percy was telling him seemed truthful enough.
However, Daneel was conflicted.
He wasn’t naïve enough to believe the story, but he also knew that an inside source was very useful.
And, he had no qualms against fleecing this kid as much as possible.
After thinking for a bit, he was just about to reply, but a knock on the door interrupted them.
Taking out a communication trinket from his pocket, Percy handed it to Daneel and said, "Master, please think on it. You can contact me through this."
After making sure that Daneel pocketed the trinket, he walked to the door, but turned back and flicked his finger.
Thinking that it was a surprise attack, Daneel was about to defend but he stopped when he saw something incredible happen.
Multiple vases, sofas, and walls cracked simultaneously, and in a few places, fire came into being before disappearing and leaving behind soot.
Opening the door, Percy shouted, "I’ll kill you if you think about going against my family again! It’s only because of Sister Xuan that I’m leaving you alive now! Watch your back, punk!"
Leaving these words, Percy stormed out of the door, leaving Sister Xuan and the other two staring at the inside of the room which looked like a fight had just taken place.
Daneel was about to chuckle on seeing this, but he had no option but to stop and gawk once again when he received a message on the communication trinket that he had just been given.
"Sorry about that, again, Master. As an apology gift, here’s some inside information which might be useful to you or your disciple: The Kingdom of Axelor is secretly maneuvering against the Hidden Kill Sect, and they might conquer the Sect soon. This is why the Sect Leader is so desperate to unlock their formation. Recently, it seems that Axelor has stepped up their efforts after seeing your disciple’s Kingdom and the Black Raven Kingdom unite. By annexing the Hidden Kill Sect, they want to establish a large force which can stand up against your disciple’s."
