This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"We have a deal then! oh right, you came for Caesar. tell me honestly, what exactly does the family wants from him?"
"You can rest assured now, he's your adopted son, how can we try taking him from you? These talismans are more than enough to put you in a very high position in the family and no one will try to make things difficult for you or him." Billy promised
"Just tell me what the offer is."
"…if he were of our blood, I would offer him protection and resources in return for fighting under the Burton family banner."
"I agree."
"Huh?" Billy couldn't believe what he heard
"I said I agree, Caesar will benefit nothing from sitting next to me with his hands on his cheek. Take him with you, give him a good and steady allowance, enroll him into competitions and throw him at dangerous zones, it's even better to get him into some wars to make a name for himself and increase his experience,
but.. this is under the condition that you DO NOT lose sight of him even for a second! Billy, if my boy gets killed or maimed while he's with you, you won't like my reaction." Robin said seriously
A strange threat to come from a fifth-level teenager, but after seeing what the talismans could do, Billy had to take him seriously, "alright! Count on me, we will appoint one of our great uncles to protect him all the time, if they all refuse, I will protect him personally."
This was no small promise, Billy was a strong candidate to be the next patriarch and was assigned many important tasks and is running a huge section of the family's business,
the patriarch would not allow him to quit all of his work to run after Caesar around, so he would probably appoint someone stronger than Billy to take over.
"Good, I see we'd have no problems then! Caesar, this is Billy Burton, he's my cousin and my friend and that makes him your uncle, he'll take you with him to the Burton family to expand your horizons, obey his instructions."
"….Yes." Caesar nodded unwillingly
"Good! I'm looking forward to some epic news about you then… ah right, Billy, keep the talismans a secret for now, you can only tell the patriarch and the most important old men in the family, and you are not allowed to reveal it in wars either until I say otherwise."
"What? WHY?"
"This world shall know its existence at the right time, It would stair quite a storm when it appears for the first time, I'm not prepared yet.. leave me some time to enjoy the peace while it lasts, will you?" Robin chuckled
"…as you wish then," Billy nodded. "Do you have other instructions?"
" just send any random uncle I know every first month to receive the talismans and give me my money."
"Okay, I understand, let's go Caesar." Billy stood up, but paused before turning around and leaving, he heard "wait"
he turned around to face Robin " Is there something else?"
"… how did he die?" finally Robin found enough courage to ask.
Billy immediately understood who he was asking about.. it's his father.
that guy was already old when Robin left and with his talent, it was granted that he would never advance to level 11, it is impossible for him to stay alive for so long, "he started a bar fight about forty years ago over a few coins and got stabbed repeatedly to death"
"…It suits him, I guess," said Robin with mixed emotions
"do you want to know about your mother, half brothers and sisters?"
"No need, I already know what I need to know, you can leave now."
"…Robin, you've changed a lot… but I think it's a change for the better, I'm happy for you." stated Billy then walked out of the house quietly, and Caesar followed him closely after cuddling Robin one last time.
".. have I changed? Hmm maybe this has always been my personality, I just didn't find enough strength or passion to show it, what do you think, Zara?"
The standing girl shrugged and extended her lower lip.
===========
Over the following days, Robin was busy helping Zara make talismans day and night, he wanted to finish the orders for the next few months and have them ready for delivery on the first of each month so that he wouldn't bother with them again.
Twenty days passed quickly.. and the first order was delivered to the two families, and the orders for the next five months were already prepared.
On that day when he finished the last talisman he summoned Peon, "Peon, I am currently free and I want to explore more laws of the world so I decided to start making a technique for another major law, which major law do you want?"
"Me?!" Peon's eyes under his mask opened completely, would he be able to carry the same strength he had seen from Caesar? The strength that made him famous throughout the kingdom?
"Yes, you, but choose quickly, I will begin my seclusion at once."
"…I've always been fond of the path of the Wind," Byun said
"The wind? Really? You could choose any law in existence but you settled on the wind?" Robin exclaimed
"I heard that the Wind Emperor is very fast and can generate storms when angered! ..He was my hero when I was young." Peon stated while scratching his head
"You're from the Lying Water kingdom, I expected that you would ask for the Water major law, or at least say that you admire the Water Emperor, But the wind? Haha. Interesting.. never mind, the wind isn't bad either, I will get it for you!" Robin put his hand on his shoulder and went to his room to get ready
Two days later, he came out of his room and ordered Zara to bring food and drink to Theo from under his door and to complete the training to speed up her production of talismans during the day, while he took Peon, who was carrying a huge bag on his back and left silently..
his destination was a few places saturated filled with the wind's path, like narrow valleys that serve as wind pathways, or high mountains..
Like fire and darkness, the wind patterns also differed according to the place, things like how heavy the grains carried by the wind, the Obstacles it hits, and so on..
the pattern of the major law of the wind was associated with the movement of particles almost completely, and these movements are easily affected by the geography of the place
Robin continued to monitor and move from one place to another for about four months before he finally decided that what he had collected was enough and took Peon back towards the institution, during this period he broke through to the sixth level without even trying.
On his return, he found that Zara had done an additional two months of talismans on her own, her rate was much better now. he asked her about what happened during their absence and found out that she had handed over the monthly orders to the two families and received the price agreed upon without any problems.
And that Theo still hasn't come out yet, but he didn't worry about him.. he knows best how hard it is to practice the perfect law of darkness.
"Peon, I'm going to take a break to write the perfect wind technique for you, focus on your training to increase your level quickly and take care of the house with your sister.. She obviously did well in our absence," he stated and went up to his room directly to complete his Perfect major law Technique No. 3 in just under two years….
