"What the fuck?!" Gaya snapped as soon as she heard Michael. Just the thought of Sabrina being Michael's little sister boggled Gaya's mind. Her heartbeat rose rapidly to the point Gaya could hear her heart.

"But why suddenly? And what makes you think she might be your little sister?" Gaya came closer to Michael, where he was setting up apparatuses and other necessary devices to do a DNA test. Typically, one would need sophisticated rituals to find out whether they were related by blood or not. But fortunately, Michael was a 5-star Alchemist and an Inventor with the system. So, using his knowledge at his disposal, Michael invented a device to conduct a DNA test.

Gaya stared at the U-shaped contraption made of glass. The glass was split in the bottom by a metal ring, and an orb was hanging down from it.

"I don't know truly. Just a nagging feeling deep down that she might be my family," Michael said to Gaya while pouring Sabrina's blood into the contraption from one opening. The blood drizzled into it and stopped by the metal right.

For a few moments, Gaya stood speechless, uttering no words.

"If she is by some chance, do you know what that means for us?" Gaya's voice slightly trembled. Instead of answering her question, Michael unsheathed his sword, cut his palm, and held his hand above the contraption to fill the other half with his blood. To avoid confusion, Michael carved a small 'M' on the half with his blood. Afterward, Michael took out a bright blue potion. The potion sparkled, almost lighting the table with its radiance. When Michael opened the vial, Gaya smelled the fragrance of lavender.

Michael was still silent as he gently poured the potion into both ends and waited for the blue potion to mix with both of their blood.

"Now if she is my sister, a green light will be lit in the orb. Otherwise, red,"

"Answer my question, human. What are you planning to do after if she IS your sister?" Gaya asked with her brows creased together. His answer however, completely caught Gaya off guard.

"To be honest, I have no plans," Michael sighed and waited for the blue potion to turn violet.

"What the fuck? I never heard these words from you before,"

"First time for everything huh?" Despite the seriousness of the matter, Michael remained calm. It was true that Michael had no plans if Sabrina proved to be his sister. This would mean Noah his brother, Rowena his big sister, and Diana and Ethan were his parents. He may be cold and ruthless to his enemies, but if Noah was his brother, it wouldn't be as easy as facing Noah as an enemy like any other.

After all, fighting a brother was very different than fighting an enemy.

"How long will it take for the orb to light up?" Gaya couldn't wait to see the result. Red or Green, she wanted to know whether or not Sabrina was his little sister. That would change everything from her perspective.

"Couple of minutes," Michael took a deep breath and waited for the orb to light up. Although it would only take a couple of minutes, each second felt like an eternity. While waiting for the orb to light up, Michael and Gaya didn't speak to each other. Instead, they waited silently until the contraption trembled slightly.

"Is this supposed to happen?" Gaya questioned. Michael was supposed to say 'yes' when the orb lit up in red light. As soon as Gaya saw the red light, she sighed in relief. But Michael couldn't even tell what he was feeling. His mind was boggled with mixed feelings.

Michael's contraption checked the two blood samples shared bond of siblings. The orb would have lit in green only if the Skyhall hadn't put a rune on everyone in Diana's family to cut all their ties to the Dark Lord. Simply put, there were no typical means to prove Michael was related to Diana or anyone in her family. Qin Jiu made sure the Dark Lord wouldn't find out about his real family in this world.

Qin Jiu believed a person's greatest power was his or her family. Thus, she wanted to cut the Dark Lord's ties to his family. No matter what, she didn't want the Dark Lord to be united with his family. It was why Qin Jiu left notes that ultimately led Elidyr to create a forbidden ritual that required Diana to cut all her ties with Michael when he was a baby. If it wasn't for Wulfric, Diana's teacher and the headmaster of MAzeroth, the Skyhall would have passed a judgment to eliminate Diana and her family as a precaution.

However, convincing the Skyhall to spare Diana and her family cost Wulfric to put them through a ritual that removed any and all biological connection between them and Michael. So unless Michael could devise a way to reverse the ritual, the contraption to test the blood wouldn't light up as green as it should be.

Nonetheless, Michael was led to believe Sabrina wasn't his little sister. With this effort, Michael let go of his little desire to find his real family in this world.

"Look Michael, you have a family, and they are in this room," Gaya spoke to him in a gentle voice and took a step forward.

"I remember my mother used to say it's not that blood makes you family but love. I love you, more than anything in this world," Gaya cupped Michael's face in her hand and stepped closer to the point her forehead touched his.

"Your mother is a wise woman,"

"Whom you haven't helped me find out," Gaya jested to lighten up the mood a bit,

"You know Elidyr is working on the way to find your mother. We must first find out why she is in hiding before finding her location," After giving up on finding his own family, Michael wanted to reunite Gaya with her mother more. At Least one of them would have a mother. Michael and Gaya were still standing with their forehead touching,

"I am kinda relieved Sabrina wasn't your sister. It's not easy to fight against your family on a battlefield," Gaya spoke in a low-pitched voice.

"Do you mean Noah and probably Rowena?"

"Hmm. If they were your family, raising your sword against them would be hard. Trust me, I know," Gaya sighed, thinking about Xanali. True that Gaya wanted to strike Xanali down for stealing the throne that rightfully belonged to her. If she wished, Michael would definitely help her kill Xanali, except she didn't feel the fire to kill Xanali as she used to before she met Michael.

Of course, that didn't mean Gaya would give the throne of Nagaland to Xanali. It's just that Gaya didn't want to kill Xanali anymore. After they take over Nagaland, Gaya would simply exile Xanali from Nagaland. If she tried to cause any trouble, she would put Xanali in the same prison Xanali put her in.

"Atleast, I'm relieved now. Besides, I am giving up on finding the people who gave birth to me. So there is no point," Michael sighed with a heavy heart.

"I know it's hard, but it's for the better, Michael. They gave you up willingly. As far as I am concerned, they don't deserve you,"

Knock!

Knock!

Knock!

Their conversation was abruptly cut short when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Ghost," Michael recognized the voice immediately.

"Come in," As Michael expected, Eve opened the door to step in. To Michael's surprise, Eve looked a bit flustered.

"Is everything alright?" Michael asked as he and Gaya walked toward Eve to meet her in a mid-way.

However, Eve avoided looking into his eyes, which was very unusual. With a long breath of sigh, Eve walked to the window and stared at the distant horizon. Despite the city in her sight looking gloomy with the grayish mist, the drizzling weather, and the ominous thunderclaps resonating in the distance, the city calmed her mind and soothed her soul.

However, she wasn't here to talk about the city. Rather, she wanted to talk about something personal.

"My father," Eve turned her gaze away from the city to Michael and Gaya.

"He told you about Filvendor and my predicament to stay in the Core Strengthening stage until I die, didn't he?"

By looking at the stern look in her eyes, Michael knew there was no point in covering it up. Thus, Michael nodded before walking toward her and leaning on the wall.

"He did. And he also told me to stay away from you,"

Unlike Gaya, who was surprised, Eve just let out an exhausted smile as though Eve was tired of her father.

"What did you tell him?" Eve asked.

"I told him Eve, and I can be friends without being romantically involved,"

"No offense to your father Eve. But what the fuck is wrong with your father? He should show him some gratitude," Gaya growled in rage.

"You have all the right to be mad at my father. He's been trying to protect me. But he fails to understand that I don't need protection," Eve sighed as Michael patted her on the shoulder.

"We don't need to talk about that, Eve. Unless you want me to stay away from you, I'm not going anywhere," Michael didn't want to bring back hurtful memories by talking about Eve's love life. Rather, he wanted to talk about their future.

"I don't want you to go anywhere. Promise me you two will be my friends forever,"

Gaya didn't expect her to make such a request at all until she heard what Eve had said next,

"Father and my family only know that I won't be able to break through to the next stage. But the full truth is that I am sick and don't have much longer to live. Maybe a couple of years," Eve's voice stuttered.

"Let me guess, the elves told you this," although the news Eve had just revealed, Michael remained calm and had a smirk on his face.

"System, scan Eve and tell me if something is amiss," Michael ordered the system and paid twenty thousand badass points as the price.
