BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161 - Uninvited Guests
Soon enough, Cain launched into heavily edited stories of all the first encounters he had with Amber.
And before they knew it, time gradually passed as they were all engrossed in their little talk.
The stories Cain told were just enough for Amber\'s parents to get the whole picture and not be so overly in-depth to the point where it would make Amber uncomfortable.
As for his forced trip with the black robe man, Cain didn\'t know how to describe that.
If he made it aware that somebody was trying to kidnap Amber, then it\'ll certainly increase the protection around her. Furthermore, he\'s sure Amber\'s parents will try to hunt this person and their organization down.
But Cain truly had no feasible leads on that black robe man.
All the information he got is that the black robe man wanted them to be a part of some \'Ink collection.\'
Cain had thoughts that this could possibly relate to the Ink Rain Sect, but it was flimsy at best.
Mentioning this incident would only create needless worries that\'ll certainly damper their first meeting. He eventually decided to keep this under wrap but was sure to bring this up very soon.
In any case, there\'s never anything wrong with having more protection for Amber.
Like this, the young couple and the older couple had a joyous time talking with each other, slowly getting closer.
At this time, Joy was attempting to rile up Amber since she was quick to learn that it was simply impossible to make Cain flustered.
She was saying, "Really, with everything we heard, I feel like we can already discuss far off into the future. Our grand-"
But Joy never got to finish her teasing statement as her attention suddenly snapped to the door. Her expression morphed from casualness to slight annoyance.
At the same time, Amber and Amiel\'s expression smolder that same annoyance as they glared at the front door.
Cain was intrigued as the cause for the sudden tonal shift was because of two distinct presence suddenly appearing at the door.
One had a powerful Aura matching Amber\'s parents. While the other had an Aura that belonged only to a genius.
Evidently, the top-level figures of their Family couldn\'t wait anymore.
And Cain was prepared for whatever was about to go down.
"Tsk. Great, what\'s Bai and that brat doing here? Anytime they think an opportunity is here for them, they can\'t stop their grubby noise."
Joy muttered with undisguised disdain in her tone. Her previously calming Natural Aura slowly turned a bit violent.
Considering their temperament, Cain was a bit surprised to see even Joy could quickly shift in her Aura.
More surprising was that this gradual violent Aura emitted from Amber and Amiel as well. He even felt Amber clutched his arm that bit tighter.
This nearly reminded Cain of a pack of lions coming together to fend off some enemy intruder.
And right then, a loud knock reverberated through the small Villa. The knock was accompanied by a charming-sounding man\'s voice. A voice that\'ll soothe into your ears like a melodic song.
"Ah, Joy, Amiel. We\'ve heard that young World Spirit Master Cain has come to visit our humble adobe. If it wouldn\'t be too much trouble, can we make acquaintance for just a moment?"
The pristine nobility and pride practically radiated from this man\'s voice.
It was a bit intriguing to Cain. When he swept his Spirit Sense, he could just barely perceive a small portion of this man\'s unfathomable Aura infused into his voice.
For any weaker cultivator, this would aspire them with absolute obedience. They would have no chance to resist the will of utmost nobility.
For even just cultivators slightly weaker than this man, it would be hard for them to not be persuaded.
Strangely enough, out of all fairy-like beauties he met so far, this man had the most persuasive voice of them all.
Just this little tidbit did cause Cain to raise his guard just slightly. Persuasive people are potentially dangerous.
"This man….sorry about this, Cain. Some fellows in our generation just don\'t know when to not stick their noise into others\' business." Amiel\'s displeased expression vanished with an apologetic one.
No matter his discontent with that man, he felt it was still rude to show such a side to a very special guess.
As Cain awoke from his thoughts, he did notice the three noble vampires staring at him with various expressions.
Expectedly enough, Amber had concerns upon her face, Amiel looked honestly apologetic, and Joy looked strongly determined.
Before any, the situation could possibly escalate, Cain faintly smiled and spoke in a calming tone,
"This is fine. I don\'t mind at all. I always expect to receive attention from all sides, no matter the kind of person they are. And since this Senior can show up to your Vilia without any regard, I\'m positive he\'s someone important."
"Mn! As expected of you, young man." Joy approvingly nodded her head. "You see, my status here is faintly above even our Supreme Elders. Not many can so casually come around us. Not many except this man are one of the tiresome cases. Before you showed up, we told this man we would be very busy today, subtly informing him to not show his face. But it seems his courage is just as high as ever. Haaah~. No matter, I will quickly deal with this."
As Joy had already formulated a plan in her mind, she swiftly stood up and strolled towards the front door. Amiel followed right behind her as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
And Cain tossed a look back onto Amber. In direct contrast to her worries, he slowly nodded, subtly informing her there was nothing to worry about.
Under this signature look, Amber could only sigh while her lips curled into a wry smile.
Then, without ever releasing her hold from Cain\'s arm, the young couple walked right behind Amber\'s parents.
As Cain and Amber approached, Joy had already reached the front door and begrudgingly opened it.
At that moment, Cain was greeted by an odd-looking duo.
By their universe standards, both men and women are quite taller than his previous homeworld. The refinement of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy does allow for a far better body constitution.
But for this Senior, he distinctly shorter than all of them. He looked around to be only 5\'4 foot tall, practically a tiny person in Cain\'s eyes.
But also because of his shorter stature, this man\'s whole presence seemed soothingly kind.
He held a genuine appearance of a friendly person who would put their all into helping out anyone. His pearly white smile and gentle eyes would tell all that you need to know about him.
This, combined with his elegantly designed blood-red robes, made for a perfect combination.
Next to this friendly short man was an extraordinary genius of this generation. Not only did he radiate a pristine noble Aura, but he also had the refined presence of a hardworking genius.
Towards this distinct-looking duo, Cain\'s impression remained relatively indifferent.
While Joy\'s expression turned a bit cold, uncaring about this duo status, and sharply said, "Elder Bai, Wang. Just what business could you possibly have as of now."
Under Joy\'s pressuring tone, neither Elder Bai nor Wang shifted their calm expression.
Elder Bai simply raised his hands in a non-threatening manner, saying, "Truly, if we had the option, we wouldn\'t forcefully intrude. But after young World Spirit Master Cain\'s arrival reached Headmaster, he simply ordered us to make some acquaintance. I won\'t try to sugarcoat my intentions for showing up here. But at the same time, you know how beneficial these orders and this meeting are, right, Elder Joy?"
It was only when Elder Bai mentioned the Headmaster did Joy\'s previous momentum just slightly dimmed. In this situation, her own attitude and status wouldn\'t matter much at all.
She knows that some things are just inevitable to happen. But either way, Joy kept his calm and stepped to the side, saying,
"Come in."
Elder Bai and Wang wordlessly nodded, entered into the Vilia, and immediately set their sights on Cain.
Seeing the young man behind all the fame and word of mouth was enlightening for both Elder Bai and Wang. Various judgment calls already formed in their minds were confirmed with just a simple first look over Cain.
At the same time, they both kindly smiled towards Cain, and Elder Bai spoke first, "Indeed. You\'re just as dashing as the news says. Allow us to formally introduce. I am one of the Supreme Vampire Elders here, and you can simply refer to me as Elder Bai."
"And my name is Wang. I am one of the leading front runners for the next Family Headmaster position, so I had no other option but to show up here. I hope my presence doesn\'t annoy Sir Cain."
Wang finally spoke up, his tone completely elegant and flowery.
This duo admittedly is a good figure for any political relations. Neither of them showed even a slight crack of negativity.
But at this point, Cain\'s too accustomed to being treated with this amount of reverence. And in any case, Cain wasn\'t anywhere near naive enough to believe this duo truly respected him from the depths of their hearts.
Similar to many others he encountered after his World Spirit Master status, they all simply respect his background more than anything.
In terms of personal prowess or feats with Spirit Energy, he hadn\'t yet achieved that ultimate point.
Still, Cain didn\'t show his bad side, staying cordial as he said, "It\'s no bother to me. Though I was just getting into a good discussion with everyone here. So, if you don\'t mind me asking, is there a specific reason you\'re seeking me out?"
"Indeed, just like Cain said, what is Headmaster\'s goal here. If this is all true for relations, then he should know we would be a perfect choice here." Amiel perfectly followed up with Cain\'s point.
And Elder Bai\'s following words were spoken with complete serenity, uncaring to how this would severely drop Amber and her parents mood.
"You are correct.. What we\'re here for is about the relations of Amber\'s marriage matter and the prime opportunity we can create with young Cain here."
