Express Station, Ocien.

"Finally.." Max stretched his body, as he walked out of the Express car. The journey this time had ended peacefully without much trouble.

"I thought your luck with express car was bad." Naze gave Max a look. This guy, who was supposed to be his bodyguard, had no idea that the danger had literally brushed past them. If the Old man didn't end up having a peaceful conversation with Max, it would have been an entirely different story.

But, this guy didn't even seem to have noticed it, or was most likely trying to act foolish.

"You are acting aren't you? It's not like you didn't realize that old man was dangerous?" Max carefully observed his expression, and sure enough, Naze's brows twitched a bit on hearing that.

This guy clearly had felt dangerous vibes from the old man, but had pretended as if he hadn't seen him. Most likely to not get involved in it.

"What are you talking about? That old man was dangerous?"

Obviously, he had to put up an act.

But, Max just shook his head.

He wasn't interested in his skit.

"Hey, I am serious. If I knew he was dangerous, I would be the first one to come running to shield you with my life on line." He exaggerated it. Obviously, the old man was long gone. He was no longer here. Hence, he had the free reign to say whatever he wished for.

As the two of them walked out of the station, the view of the Ocien city finally came to them.

"Smells refreshing.." Naze muttered under his breath.

"Well, the borders are not that far from here," Max calmly replied. Two more small cities and they would be near Orena.

The Scarlets were majorly responsible for the control here. After all, they were the part of the Association who defended the borders.

"Excuse me, Sir."

A voice suddenly rang behind, and Max turned around to see a man who looked like some servant standing there.

He didn't remember asking the family to send anyone to pick him up for sure.

"Yes?" Max looked at the fellow.

"I am Ruthe. I am here on personal order from the Lord of our House to invite you," He politely spoke.

"Which House?" Max asked. He had his doubts. It would be too odd if it was Scarlet House. Weren't they in a bit too much of a hurry to invite them around?

"It's Scarlet House, Sir." The person looked at Leo. An odd look indeed flickered through his eyes for a second, but he didn't dare to question.

'Lord.....Wilson's father..' Max thought a bit, and then gave a nod. If they were asking, he sure wouldn't refuse. He had been wanting to pay a visit as well. Who would have thought that they would invite him like this…

'But, what can their motive be..' He wondered.

If he had to think, he could only come up with one reason. The fact that the Ancient Family had connections with him.

That might be the reason why the Lord wanted to meet him.

"Are you sure about this?" Naze asked as he slowly followed behind the man with Max.

"Well, let's go. We will find out if there is anything wrong. Besides, we have our bet with the old man as well." Max smiled calmly. He would prove the old man wrong, and seal the deal.



Scarlet House, Ocien.

The car slowly stopped near the main gates of the Scarlet Territory. This was their headquarters after all. And, to be honest, they had the biggest force among the 12 Noble Houses.

After all, they were so close to the borders.

It might also be one of the reasons that the Ovens were targeting them. Otherwise, Max didn't think that the Lord of Ovens House would marry his sister to the Scarlet Lord.

The guard at the entrance came forward, and after confirming the identity of the people, allowed the car to pass through.

As they passed through the streets, Max could feel a strong and savage aura around most of the Mages that he came across. He could now somewhat understand where Wilson came from.

These people who lived in front of borders were obviously frequent visitors to Orena. This should definitely have given their people an advantage over others when it came to practical experience.

"We are here.." The servant suddenly spoke, and the car came to a halt the next second.

They had arrived at the Scarlet Villa.

The place where the Lord and his family lived.

Max and Nathan slowly got out of the car.

"Please Sir, follow me." The servant respectfully led them inside, and brought them to the hall.

"I will inform my Lord of your arrival." He further added before hurrying away.

Max looked around in the hall. There were several pictures hanging around, and the biggest one was the one with four people in them.

He slowly walked up to it.

There was a couple in it with two kids; a boy and a girl.

The man was obviously the Scarlet Lord, Max recognized him. The two children resembled Wilson and Erina as well. The only person whom he hadn't seen until now was this lady here. Their mother.

'So, she is the Former Lady of the House..' Max muttered inwardly. He heard from Wilson that she was a kind hearted person. And, that smile on the lady's face seemed to say the same as well.

"She is my ill wife. And, also the mother of my first two children." A voice sounded from behind, and Max turned his head to see a man standing there.

He had long crimson hair with a noble look on his face. His elegant and noble demeanor definitely didn't match with Wilson.. If it wasn't for the fact that the two shared a few identical features, Max would have refused to believe that the duo were father and son.
