Francis went back to his group: “It seems like we are in luck, the Sun sect will be recruiting disciples soon, but we have to reach the sect before three months.
It have been three years since they left the Alba Kingdom. During the time their travels they had the same routine, hunt wild beast for money and pay their lodges, meals and transportation moving one city to another.
For the last three years they had passes through dozens countries. They become aware of many there are many sects like the six sects in their homeland, some even have similar strength some even little stronger than the six sects back in their homeland.
Gradually as they got closer to the Uri Republic, there were even more powerful sects and cultivators of realm gathering qi become ordinary. The last country they passed by before reaching out the Uri Republic they have seen sect with dozen elders in middle stage of Elemental Realm!
If this was in their homeland reaching this stage would considered as Supreme Elders but here they were only great elder of their sects, which their post considered as standard.
This was a massive blow to their group except Francis Keer. When he was young he had left the Martial city and travelled to different countries or else he wouldn’t know the Uri Republic much less their existence.
Seeing this the Keer family which always been arrogant even in front of the royal family was shocked as if it was an eye-opener except Francis who was still composed. Francis were in the Realm of body refinement, in their homeland even though it was not the strongest realm but people still treated him with respect, but here the further they went the lower the status of realm of body refinement, some even be servants.
This can be draw as in the developed countries, their cultivation realm was seen and considered as equal to servants, this came as dreadful news to them.
They gathered their every bit of will to continue their journey and went further into the continent. They could not help but to imagine some obstruction on the way but fortunately they had arrive to their destination.
They came to realize although they were tyranny in their homeland. Here they were nothing more than a fish in the ocean.
After that they decided to go to rent an inn to take some rest and eat. While asking for direction on the streets they finally arrived at the inn, which had a good reputation as it was owned by the Jordan family, one of the four ruling families in the Uri Republic.
With reputable Inn the keer family didn’t need to worry of their security, after all there are not many people within the republic who dare to cause problems within one of the four ruling families in Uri Republic.
First, the Keer family went to the dining room and had decent meal. The trip they had took around a week, during that time they were provided why meat jerky.
After the group finished eating, they all went respective room to rest. The next day, while the children were still sleeping the adults had meeting about what they going to do for living.
The first to speak up was Francis: “well, we’ve been through a lot but we‘ve finally arrived”, as he looked at everyone he continues “as you must be aware, with our strength the chances that we can establish ourselves in the republic is non-existed.
“All of you are in the Realm of body refinement, which means nothing here. Yesterday I have bought a republic map and within it state the city of Sunlake is two months away from here if we go by foot but if we use public transportation will take around a month and a half”.
“So” he paused briefly and said: “During this whole month, we will go buy resources for cultivation and spend the rest of our time cultivating. Does anyone have an objection?” Seeing the look of the old man face, no one in the family dared to say anything, they only nodded in unison.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Francis turned around and saw his grandchildren and took out a pouch size of fist and threw it at one of them and said “you two, go pay for the inn for a month, and when you do, ask for a pharmacy where you can buy medicinal pills.”
After all, it was their fault that they had to leave their home, and now they are suffering hardship for it. Although their family didn’t abandoned them, everyone was still unhappy of the circumstances they were in, including their wives. Let’s just simply put they haven’t had sex for years.
The children left the room and do what they were told to do. Two hours later they return empty-handed. Seeing this, everyone in the room who was waiting couldn’t help feeling indignant.
Even Francis frowned at the sight and questioned them, “and the pills?”
Hearing the question, the pair of brothers couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, one of them stepped forward and said “Grandfather, we didn’t buy them”.
This made Francis and the co’s face turned sombre, and Francis would about to yell at them but the other brother came forward and said “Grandfather, don’t get angry we can explain”
Francis tried to calm himself down, after few breath of time with the look of waiting for their explanation, the pair finally open up and explain what happened “Grandpa, we did what you asked us to do we went to the pharmacy but when we arrived there, there were several types of pills that have similar appearance. So we didn’t know which one to buy, so we made a list with the names and effects for you to decide, then we’ll go again”
Francis received the piece of paper and skimmed through it and nodded, thinking at least these grandchildren of his not so stupid. But shortly afterward he thought of why did they took it so long, squinted his eyes and stare and his grandchildren “To do that, it shouldn’t have taken you so long, where did you go?”
The two brother expression were in dismay at the question, as they weren’t expecting everyone to stay in the meeting room, after all they thought everyone would go to their rooms after the meeting. But they were wrong as everyone was still in here.
In an instant they felt cold shivers and pairs of eyes looking at them, even without turning back to see who was staring at them they knew it was their wives and they knew the screwed up.

Meanwhile in Alba Kingdom, Frey’s mansion.
In one of the luxurious room, a child was lying on top of the bed with his eyes opened. He looked around to see where he was and concluded he was no longer in the slave merchant storeroom.
Without wasting anytime he get up out of the bed and went to look for his mother. He went through the corridor and reached the door of his mother’s room, just as he was about to knock the door he heard.
“Helena, remember you are now part of the family, If Alexander mistreats you don’t hesitate to tell me, I’ll make sure to reprimand him.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Anna, I’m sure young master won’t mistreat me.”
“Jajaja, you can call me mother”
“Yes mother!”
“Hahahah, Good girl. Now we just need to wait for Alexander to wake up and introduces you two. That boy he dare to fall asleep in nowhere, I feel embarrass”
“Mother, I am sure young master is just tired don’t be angry at him”
“You’re right, maybe he stayed awake all night. I’ll watch him better in the future.”
On the other side of the door, Alexander frowned listening to their conversation between his mother and someone she called Helena as he had never met this Helena before.
After few seconds, he recalled two scene before he went to sleep one was a beautiful girl whom had burned marks of her body.
And the second one was the man he met in the illusion “please take care of my daughter”.
So he concluded that “Helena”, “The burned marks girl” and “the daughter” are the same person.
While Alexander was immersed in his thoughts, a beautiful woman dressed in orange lifting a tray full of drinks and snacks entered the corridor and saw Alexander in front of the door and said “Young master. You finally woke up”.
Obviously the woman is Audrey without turning his head Alexander asked “how long was I asleep?”
“Just a couple of hours, go ahead Miss Anna has someone she wants you to meet”
Audrey didn’t understand as to why Alexander was so cautious.
Alexander nodded, raised his arm and knocked the door.
“Knock.”
“Knock.”
“Mother, Audrey told me to come”
“Come in.”
Alexander opened the door and entered the room with Audrey.
Audrey proceeded forward and place the drinks and snacks on the table.
While Alexander, with his hands on his back and looked curiously at a little girl.
She looked a year younger than he was, her hair was blond and shiny, she have white skin and thin body, her whole face seemed as if it was sculpted by the god himself and not to mention her eyes were deep indigo blue were enchanting.
This girl when she grows up she will become a beautiful goddess chases by countless geniuses. But Alexander only thought.
(This woman will only bring me trouble!)
Seeing her son was staring at the girl, Anna showed a sweet smile and said “She is Helena, starting today she will be you servant”
