Chapter 712 Glenn's Son?
?Lenny smiled back at him, "Father Black!" Both men embraced one another, Patting their backs.
It was indeed good to see a familiar face. However, When Lenny looked behind Father Black, he was surprised to see only two other people that he recognized. It was only Elder isiah and Elder Zod.
A kind of foreboding suddenly came upon Lenny, and as much as he did not want to think about it, he already had a range of guesses.
As Lenny raised his head up, he absorbed the sight of Glenn's territory, now fortified with walls, a stark reminder of the battles and struggles it had faced in his absence, he was led into the great hall by Father Black.
The sight of the numerous seats, many unoccupied, spoke volumes of the losses and changes that had transpired. Father Black offered him a seat, a gesture that carried a weight of significance in this place of leadership and decision-making. N♡vεlB¡n: A Haven for Bookworms and Dreamers.
Father Black's question about Lenny's whereabouts pierced the air, echoing with the curiosity and concern of years passed. Lenny's response, a simple exclamation of surprise and confusion, revealed his unawareness of the passage of time. "The Nether realm!" he declared, his words casting a somber tone over the room. The mention of the Nether realm, a place notorious for being inescapable and synonymous with a fate worse than death, filled the room with a sense of awe and disbelief.
Father Black, more than anyone, understood the gravity of Lenny's revelation. The knowledge that Lenny had survived the Nether realm and returned was unprecedented, a feat that defied all known wisdom and experience.
However, Lenny was more concerned with the state of affairs in Glenn's territory. His question prompted Father Black to recount the events that had transpired during Lenny's absence.

The young man's declaration cut through Lenny's contemplations. "That's because It is my territory." The simplicity and confidence in his statement left no room for doubt about his claim.
Lenny's eyebrow arched in response, sizing up the young man before him. It was evident that the young man, despite his considerable power, was not in the same league as Lenny, who had attained the rank of a third-rank Great Demon.

"And who are you?" Lenny's question was direct, his tone indicating both curiosity and a measure of skepticism.
The young man's response came with a smile, an expression that carried both pride and a sense of legacy. "I am Luca, son of Glenn the witch!"
Those words resonated in Lenny's mind like pealing bells. The revelation was startling, almost unbelievable. Luca, the son of Glenn, the very witch whose territory had been a beacon of hope and a foundation for Lenny's vision. The connection was unexpected, a piece of the puzzle Lenny hadn't anticipated.
In that moment, the dynamics of the room shifted. The revelation of Luca's identity added a new layer of complexity to the situation. Lenny, faced with the progeny of Glenn, now had to navigate this new reality where the territory he had hoped to build upon was under the stewardship of Glenn's own blood.
But that was not the most surprising thing of all. After all, according Lenny's memories, Glenn never had a chile. At least, at the time he had seen her, she was not with child.
Also, even if she had a child, then with whom did she have it with?
lenny recalled Glenn to be a very selective woman, but even more so, quite faithful. And she was with him. So therefore, who is the boy's father?
