Chapter 182 - BETRAYAL (Part-3)

"I think you should put that dagger down, you have proven your point so you should stand down, "said Hulizum Hiyuma, the heir to the Egyptian great clan.

Unlike others, he wore a blue blazer over his school uniform. His clan symbol was highlighted at the back of the jacket. His purple eyes gazed at Medea with a calm yet dangerous look.

Medea snorted before releasing the one who insulted Ichizu. He allowed this to happen as he wanted to tone Medea down a bit. She was crazy in love, even the slightest word against him infuriated her to no ends.

Ichizu naturally found her qualities very attractive since his alignment was something similar. But he knew that he must contain himself or others around him may get hurt.

Due to this reason, he sealed his own power which wasn't being suppressed by the [World's Will] as he knew that the speed of his bloodline integration had reached a critical point. He could very well lose control over his powers if he didn't seal them.

The last thing he would want to do would be to hurt his family and loved ones. Same went for Nikasu, just the difference was that he needed to stay away from most people so as to not get influenced by their aura while his bloodline crossed the threshold.

This was the reason why he didn't speak much and was just patiently waiting for it to integrate.

Well back to Ichizu, he wanted Medea to control her obsession with himself. He didn't ask herself to lessen it or anything but instead just asked her to think more before reacting to the situation.

Today Hulizum Hiyuma also contributed to the cause which was proving out to be a success till now.

" So I guess we should go with the suggestion then...???" said Mari to which everyone just nodded, no longer doubting the capability of his servants.

[Somewhere else]

"Maya..!!!!, I have found a trail. The hideout of those criminals where our clan members are kept is under my watch. We must take action immediately." a man in his middle 30s, wearing suit and tie spoke in a plain tone.

Around him were some other members of the Yotsuba clan, they were discussing over the point that the enemy's location was exposed and how they could rescue their clansmen from their eminent dead.

Maya sat on the head position while the others continued their discussion. In front of her sat Shiba Tatsurou, husband of Miya and the father of Tatsuya and Miyuki.

He was the one who just spoke to her, telling that he had found the enemy hideout. Many people think that Tatsurou was a talented magician with a superior gene but wasn't able to convert it into actual strength.

But this was far from the truth, he loved Shiba Sayuri and wanted to marry her instead of Miya. In the clan marriage was decided by the elders who wanted the two of them to separate from each other.

Sayuri wasn't much talented ,his gene was superior and the clan wanted him to marry Miya so that the next generation would have strong offsprings.

He couldn't decline Elder's decision as they were a bunch of despicable old fools who would go as far as killing her of he didn't comply.

He hid his skills in hope's to change the clans opinion about him and let her marry Sayuri instead, let them think that he wasn't on her level.

Alas nothing worked and Sayuri later died due to a terminal disease. He had closed his heart to everyone in the clan including his family and the clan.

He acted cold towards Ichizu as he hated the fact that his son had enough capability to treat a terminal disease ,to make the clan fear him, to do as he pleased, to have the support of the head. He cursed his own weakness and incapability which led him to seek more power.

Tatsuya was able to use [Gram Demolition] and [Gram Dispersion] not due to the fact that he had a huge Psion pool but rather he inherited his father's genes.

Tatsurou could very well use [Gram-Demolition] and [Gram Dispersion] without any problem but he was also an expert in close quarter fights. When he was younger he faced off against that 'Bald monk' and ended in tie.

But this wasn't the only thing which made him so dangerous, rather it was his ability of [Time avatar]. This ability was similar to a supernatural power and had similar effect to Ichizu's [Time-control].

He could 'see' into future while in a fight, meaning that he knew your every single move. He could slow down time for 5 seconds thus successfully avoiding getting off guard.

His spell [Time caught up] was an exclusive ability of his which allowed him to accelerate and deaccelerate time of both organic and inorganic objects.

'Truly like father like son.' she thought as she stood up and announced in a loud tone "I along with 3-elders will go to rescue the clansmen, only we three will be enough otherwise more numbers may alert the enemy."

"I shall come along." said Tatsurou ,his voice had displayed his strong determination which no one could question, he still was one of the elders in the clan which also being the brother-in-law of the head.

Tatsurou didn't really hate Miya since he knew that she too was forced into a relationship with him which he understood. Rather after Nikasu treated Miya, he took good care of her even though he didn't love her.

Tatsurou was a good man who was ruined by his own clan even so he served without complain all these years. This made Miya fall for him in real even after knowing that he didn't really love her.

She didn't lose hope and actually succeeded in becoming his best friend who he really cared about, but even so he couldn't fix his relation with his son which also created tension between him and his daughter.

Maya felt bad for her brother-in-law and sister yet her hands were tried to the clan so she couldn't intervene.

He was too focused on Sayuri yet Miya patiently waited for him to reprocate her love, even now up to this day.

"Very well Brother-in-law....!!" she replied as they left for the mountain near the temple were 'baldy' lived.
