He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 85. Attending the banquet 1
Chapter 85: Chapter 85. Attending the banquet 1
The gazes of the family elders lingered on one another as Butler Simpson left.
’’When I overheard Phil mention his sister’s name while saying he’s gonna die with her in the video, I thought he was just being a lunatic, it turned out she was really alive huh’’ One of the elders voiced, the others nodding slightly to her words.
Another one chimed in, frustrated.
’’Well, now that the cat is out of the bag there’s no need to hide it from everyone. We had a meeting with Phil recently where he mentioned that his sister was alive after identifying her husband after carefully examining the video of Kailen Darkhaven killing my son and three other S ranked awakeners from the family. Those at the meeting were warned through unconventional methods that anyone who breathes a word to the family head would face the consequences. In fact, the bastard actually killed one of us to prove he was not joking. Heck, turns out him threatening us to not breath a word to the family head was all a ruse since the family head and his wife are technically vegetables now. The bastard literally had us all fooled’’ The man who had just spoke sighed in exasperation, the others nodding at his words in realization, sharing his sentiment

In a living room boasting expensive furniture and a high-quality vibe, the moonlight cast it’s glow, further adding depth to the clarity provided by the chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, revealing a man fuming in rage as he kept slapping a young man who seemed to be in his late teens or early twenties.
The man’s spittle was flying all over as he kept fuming in rage, slapping the young man as the young man remained silent and just received the slaps without making a single comment despite the blood oozing from his cheeks, along with the pain and terror that had clouded his being.
Never had been in such a situation before. His father had always dotted on him and given him free reign to do anything he wanted, even to the point of covering for his stupid actions. Yet today, things had taken an extremely different turn.
Forget about the video where Kailen had killed 4 S ranked awakeners like crushing ants, after seeing the video of Kailen Darkhaven killing a national level guardian awakener like he was taking a walk in the park, only to massacre 25 S ranked awakeners without even battling an eye, he had realised how stupid he had been.
Cursing himself and the idea the stupid lady he shared his bed with had given him, he quickly reported what he had done to his father, hoping to find a way out of this predicament. This had led to the current situation.
’’Idiot!. why the hell did you have to offend someone like him?
To think you not only decided to assault him when he decided to join your so called Ashen club, you even hired assassins from the black market to deal with him during an official examination of the university?. How stupid could you be!! Even if he were not this strong, Helena Hall clearly demonstrated that day in the lecture hall that she rallies behind him by even offending a grandmaster potion master for him. Was that not enough to steer clear of offending Kailen Darkhaven?
Could you not have tried to build some sort of relationship with him, or rather attempt to recruit him into the family despite not knowing he was this strong, based on the few feats he had demonstrated? Yet you decided to drag our names in the mud!!! Do you want everything your mother and I have worked tirelessly for to go down the drain?’’ The man kicked the young man now sprawled on the floor in blood, causing him to land a few steps away from his position, coughing a mouthful of blood!!’’
A woman, presumably the man’s wife, scurried towards the young man now a bloody mess, then screamed ’’ Dear, do you want to kill our son!. Calm down and lets find a solution to this predicament. Besides, you are the reason why he turned out this spoilt’’
The man calmed down after hearing his wife’s voice, her truthful words driving his sanity back home.
’’We received an invitation to join the banquet this evening, get this disappointment of a son dressed the way he is. He is attending the banquet the way he is.
Also, that girl who gave him that stupid idea to hire guys from the black market to kill Kailen Darkhaven, should come with us to the banquet to apologize to Kailen Darkhaven. Tell the butler to pull some strings and rescind the stupid assassination deal your idiot son made with those guys at the black at market.
We cannot afford to offend this Kailen Darkhaven’’ The man gave quick and domineering orders to his wife, clearly not in the mood to banter with her, then left the room.
’’Why did I have to not only marry an incompetent man, but give birth to a failure of a son?’’ The woman sighed, left with no choice but to follow the orders of her husband. Inasmuch as she was mad at him right now, she had to admit that this was the best they could do to placate this Kailen Darkhaven.
Jazz’s father stood under the gaze of the moonlight, sighing depreciatingly ’’ To think dotting on this boy all these years would come to bite me in the end. I just hope that sending him to the banquet in this bloodied state would be enough to show my sincerity to Kailen Darkhaven about how sorry I am for my son’s actions, else, not even the main family leaders can stop a national level guardian awakener from going on a rampage’’
The video of the terrifying massacre Kailen had enacted earlier played through his head, causing him to shudder in fear.

’’I did not think he would be this strong. To think I almost offended this kid?’’ Skybruff was currently pacing around nervously in the room as he was replaying the contents of the video of what Kailen had just done in his head. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
’’I cannot afford to be at odds with this guy. I need to throw away my pride and apologize to him’’
As a grandmaster potion master in the Capital, he had received an invitation to the banquet. He was well aware that even if someone like him had been invited, there was no reason why Kailen Darkhaven, a national level guardian strength level awakener, would not be invited to the banquet.
He had to make use of the opportunity to apologize to Kailen Darkhaven. His life was on the line here.
