Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 227: Dia Family Commission

After consuming God's Fruit and destroying its tree, the whole place started to become unstable.

Because God's Tree was in the middle of the most unstable region of the Federation, The Flake Zone, staying even a second more could lead to death.

The only reason why there were no Space Fluctuations was because of God's Tree power.

But now that it has got destroyed by Greg's unexpected outbreak, space became just as unstable as anywhere else inside the Frost Desert.

*TREMBLE!*

"Come! Let's get out of here before we end up dying here."

As Jay said that, he waved his hand, and instantly blood broke out from below the ground.

Just like previously, the blood solidified into a shape of a gate, waiting for anyone to pass through it with a mysterious glint.

"Let's go.", said Jay and without waiting for anyone to react, he jumped into the gate.

Greg seeing this, glanced at his friends and the experts, and noticing that they were also running toward the gate, he jumped forward too.

*KA-BOOM!*

And just as everyone vanished into Jay's gate, around the air in thousands of places, the whole atmosphere trembled and exploded like a detonated atom bomb.

***

Somewhere far away land, a huge mansion was standing proudly above a huge mountain, covered with a breathtaking sight from all angles.

Beautiful green and huge trees with crystal clear rivers flowing amongst them. Above the mansion, the beautiful clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds could be seen, while behind the building, the dawning sun could be discerned.

Before this gorgeous mansion, a man in an ancient suit and with a horn coming out from his forehead was slowly strolling forward, while the air around him was swirling mysteriously.

"What brought the Great Ecron here to our humble home?"

A man with a strict yet polite look bowed at the man, while behind him several of his subordinates were standing calmly with dark hoodies covering their faces.

The man called Ecron looked at the man and smiled gently. The smile on his face was so relaxed and beautiful that even the angriest soul would become calm again.

"Charon Nosler, known as Nos. You have failed not once, but twice now. And what is more both time miserably."

The man called Nos hearing what he was told instantly started to sweat profusely and waved his hand around.

With a trembling body and shaking voice, he started to talk, but even before a voice could have left his mouth, a wound appeared on his cheek.

"I don't remember giving you permission to talk."

Nos seeing Ecron's ice cold glare kneeled down to the ground and in a trembling voice he said, "I am deeply sorry for my rudeness."

Ecron seeing this snorted and looked around while saying, "The Highness told me to inform you that one more mistake or failure, the consequences will be dire. I hope you know what that means."

Feeling a piercing stare on his head, Nor flinched slightly and nodded while huge drops of sweat flowed down his face.

Ecron seeing this smiled again and after a nod, he said, "Perfect."

Turning around without saying anything else, Ecron walked away leaving the kneeling Nor on the ground.

Feeling that the suffocating presence finally vanished, Nor stood up and wiped the sweat and blood away from his face.

After thinking for a while, he looked behind at his subordinates and said calmly, "Go and strengthen the defense around Area A, B, and C. Until we don't figure out how to take away the treasure you don't leave. Understood?"

"Yes Sir!"

"Perfect. Now go! I don't want to hear about failure anymore. One more mistake and I will personally kill whoever f*cks up!"

***

Back in Mythbreak, Greg was told to wait patiently until Eliana and Zane find out where the next Temple was.

As a result, Greg could finally take a bit of rest and do what he wanted for a long time. Or that was what he thought when suddenly several people arrived into Mythbreak with someone he knew personally.

"Scott and... Henry? Why are they here?", thought Greg with confusion as he watched Joe's Family members at the gate of Mythbreak.

And what was even more confusing than including those two and a few other unknown Dia Family members, Greg noticed that Nick from the Soul Association was here too.

"Just what is happening here?", asked Greg quietly and watch as the group walked slowly toward them.

"Young Master!"

Just like always, Henry bowed at Joe and his friends politely and smiled.

"It is great to see you being healthy even under these dangerous times."

"It is nice to meet you again too Henry. You look healthier than ever too."

Hearing this Henry just smiled, but the next second his expression became deadly serious and looked at Joe and Greg.

"I am honored, but unfortunately we can't chat forever. Your father had given us the task to bring both of you back to Nexus City. He even ordered us to use violence if you resist, so I hope you won't."

"!"

When Greg, Emma, and Mila heard this, their expression turned stunned while Joe just looked at Henry with an expressionless face.

"..."

For a very long time what could be heard was pure dead silence. Even the bystanders held their breath back, fearing that their voice would start something dire.

After unknown how much time has passed, Joe looked at Scott and asked, "Did my father truly said what he did?"

"Yes."

"Was it because of what I told to Shadow?", asked again Joe, now his expression darker than ever.

Glancing at Henry who looked calm, Scott sighed and nodded.

"I fear yes. When you sent him your message, he became furious and decided with this decision. I am sorry Young Master, but your father's orders are higher. We can't deny his orders, especially in times like this, and I think you know this too."

What Scott said was in fact true. For a very long time, the Dia Family started to obtain more and more fame among the 5 Great Families, so they had finally had influence.

It wouldn't be arrogant to say that among the 5 Great Families they had the second biggest influence after the Voodoo Family.

And naturally, Joe knew this too, but still, he was getting tired of his father's selfish dreams.

He heard about the news that his father attacked smaller families to get more resources, especially during the time when the Scepter Family was attacked.

However, nothing would be wrong with all of this, because Joe wanted their family to reach bigger heights than currently, but not in a way as his father does.

Every family he attacked, he killed to the last member or made them work for him with no rewards at all. He used everyone under him as slaves.

And what was even worst, that when he found out about something or someone powerful, he would make everything to obtain it. 

Just like now, everything. He would even use violence against his own breed just to bring him back. 

This was not normal at all, and Joe wanted to put an end to this matter.

"Scott, Henry. I am very glad that you came and tried to negotiate with me, but I think you already know what my answer is. I won't go back."

"..."

Henry and Scott knew what would Joe's answer would be even before they left Nexus City, but hearing for real, it made their body to stiffen.

Never in their wildest dream would they think that they would need to fight against their Young Master and his friend just because of an order.

If it were any other time in the past, Henry wouldn't have hesitated to deny the order he was given, but unfortunately this time he couldn't.

With a deep sigh, Henry closed his eyes and said, "Then it seems I have no choice."

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

As he said this, the subordinates behind him moved and surrounded Greg and Joe, trapping the two inside a small circle.

There were even a few who floated in the air, not giving them the chance to escape through the air.

Mila and Emma seeing this wanted to go and help the two but suddenly stopped because of Joe.

"Stay out of this. Both of you."

"We won't. We are here to help and we will he-.", started to say Mila, but instantly froze up as she saw Joe glancing toward their direction.

Seeing that darkened expression with those ice-cold eyes, Mile swallowed back what she wanted to say and stepped back.

She knew that right now, Joe was insanely angry. He was still a person with a powerful Guardian which came from a white Soul Stone, so making him even angrier than this wouldn't be a wise choice.

Seeing that the two girls stayed still and didn't intend to help, Joe averted his gaze back at Henry and said calmly, "I will warn you only once. Leave us alone or I won't show mercy."
