THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

"How dare you!" The old man bellowed and exploded with Nexus energy.

Ivan's face immediately changed, this old man was a Domain Lord!

This was the strength of the majority of the instructors back at the tower.

Even at that, Ivan wasn't scared as he prepared to fight.

The man who was screaming on the ground immediately stopped when he heard the voice of the old man, he got up and ran out of the room.

"Father, this person is causing trouble. He came here and started harassing us! He's a strong Nexulyte and even knocked out my guards" The man cried out to the old man the instant he saw the latter.

The face of the old man contorted in rage hearing his son's claims, he stared at Ivan with murderous intent.

"As a highly ranked Nexulyte capable of defeating two True Kings simultaneously, you should be ashamed of yourself for using your powers on an ordinary person!" The old man said through gritted teeth.

A huge amount of Nexus energy rose from his body and splashed on the ground before forming into a huge black scorpion that was as tall as a human and six meters long.

The scorpion landed on the ground with a bang.

"Ivan, be careful!"

Ralph suddenly called out from behind as he and Glen came to stand beside Ivan with serious faces.

"We'll help you deal with this old man," Glen stated.

The three of them faced the old man and his Scorpion, ready to fight at any moment.

Contrary to their readiness, the old man had a doubtful look on his face as if he had heard something wrong; he looked at the three young men before suddenly asking.

"Did you just say…Ivan?"

His sudden question left the three speechless, they glanced at each other before turning to the old man.

" Yes, I said Ivan; what does it have to do with you?" Ralph replied.

The doubtful look on the old man's face grew and he asked again.

" Are you perhaps the new recruit of the Owen Tower from six months ago?"

This question once again stumped the three of them, they could feel that the man's tone wasn't as energetic as before and there was even a slight hint of panic.

Thinking of something, Ivan brought out his storage device instead of answering and took out his ID before showing it to the old man.

The eyes of the old man immediately shrank upon seeing this, he turned to his son before bellowing.

" How dare you!"

The shout was backed up with a slap that sent the man flying back into the room while screaming. Everyone in the hallway was shocked by the sudden twist, they all looked at the old man as if he had gone crazy.

After sending his son flying, the old man turned to Ivan and his friends and suddenly bowed his head slightly.

"I apologize for my son's misconduct, I've neglected teaching him the right way. Please pardon him this once, I'll make sure I find out what he did and compensate you if necessary" the old man mouthed words of apologize to Ivan's group and without waiting for the three to digest what was going on, he turned around and ordered the people behind him to make room for them to pass.

Still confused, Ivan led his friends and Elisa's family through; they left the place easily which wasn't what they had expected when the old man had arrived.

After finally sending Ivan and his group off, the old man sighed in relief before rushing into the room that he had sent his son flying to.

"Son, son! Are you alright?" The old man called out worriedly  as he rushed to the man on the floor, the side of his face was bruised and a few of his teeth were missing.

"Why" the man muttered with so much difficulty as he looked at the old man with a wronged expression in his eyes, his face was currently unable to form an expression.

He had been delighted that his father had shown up, as a Nexulyte himself and a strong in at that, he believed that his father would be able to avenge him. But not only did his father not do as expected, he had sent him flying with a slap after asking a few meaningless questions.

'Sniff, I feel so wronged. Are you really my father? Are you being biased because he's a Nexulyte and I'm not?' the man lamented in his mind as hot tears streamed down his eyes.

The old man shook his head when he saw his son crying silently, he felt a tightening feeling in his heart but there was nothing he could do.

"You messed with the wrong person this time son, you should be careful who you cross paths with; not every Nexulyte will be scared off by me easily.

That young man is a talented recruit of the Owen Tower, he was scouted by James Owen himself six months ago; I don't need to tell you who James Owen is, do I?

What is more frightening about him is that the heads of all the big towers fought over him. Do you know what it means for those old monsters to make a move personally? I do not even have enough worth to make them move.

Do you have any idea what would happen to our family if we offended him or as much as to hurt him? The entire Owen Tower might come for us or James might come knocking on our door the very day he learns of it, our heads might not be enough for compensation; he will definitely sweep our entire family clean!" The old man patiently explained to his son before sighing again.

Imagining the consequences that might have befallen him had he attacked irrationally caused his body to tremble, he was extremely lucky to have waited a bit.

Looking at his son who was still shedding tears silently, the old man picked him up from the ground.

" It's alright, he shouldn't hold a grudge after seeing what I did to you. Just make sure to stay as far away from him or anyone related to him in the future" said the old man as he walked out of the room.

….

After reaching outside, everyone turned to look at Ivan.

"What?" Ivan asked with a frown.

"What was that about?" Glen shot back with another question.

Ivan shrugged, he honestly didn't know.

"It's alright, we were able to avoid trouble thanks to whatever just happened" Ralph mentioned and everyone nodded.

" Thank you so much Ivan, thank you all for helping our daughter" Mrs Florence suddenly began to thank them, tears gathering in her eyes.

" It's nothing Auntie, Elisa is like a sister to us too" Glen quickly stopped Mrs Florence with a honest smile on his face.

" Who's your sister?!" Elisa snorted coldly from the side.

Glen looked at her with a confused face.

'What did I do wrong?!'

"Come, let's return home first. I'll prepare a nice meal for everyone!" Mrs Florence announced.

" Sorry Aunt but that will be next time, we have something else to deal with. We'll come tomorrow" Ralph mentioned.

" Oh" a look of disappointment appeared on Mrs Florence's face but she didn't force them, they waved goodbye before going their separate ways.
