The pet master

Violet just giggled. "uncle Haran, if you call yourself a peak C-rank powerhouse old bones, then what will the two D-rank bodyguards be? Dead bones? Hihihi. "

The old man just smiled while the maid laughed.

As for the bodyguards, they didn't dare speak, just walked stiffly, since they knew how frightening the old man can be.

All of a sudden, the group fell silent as a hand made of mist emerged slowly from the ground before them

The hand had roots stuck inside it as well as rocks, and even some liquid?

Lucy started moving the new trump card Max taught her towards the group as Max ordered.

"huh? What an interesting skill I've never seen it before, although it's quite slow and impractical. " exclaimed old man Haran.

Violet looked at the approaching hand. She wanted to respond and ask if it was their target's doing.

But then she suddenly held her necklace and looked anxious.

She felt like her target was about to escape.

If he got away, she wouldn't be able to track him down again. To find his current location, she used his hair that she got from her friend. But the tracking item she used burns the hair, and she's almost out.

Violet gritted her teeth, determination evident in her eyes.

In order to find Max, she spent a lot of money and she will spend much more now.

She took out a blue scroll and a small bead. If you examine the bead closely, you'll observe a tiny black hair that is being consumed by flames.

"Uncle Haran, I have to find him fast, this teleportation scroll can only teleport one person, so I'd go first. "

Old man Haran frowned and wanted to stop her, but before he could violet put the bead in contact with the scroll and disappeared instantly.

Blink! Woosh!.

as both items were left behind broken beyond repair.

Old man Haran was annoyed. From the current situation, their target is obviously not simple, thus he didn't want his knees to be alone with this young man.

He threw a teleportation scroll towards one of the bodyguards.

As a C-rank powerhouse and an elder of the family. He was much richer than Violet's mother, but even so he only had two Scrolls one which he just gave away.

"find her current location through her phone and go after her. I will join you after I deal with this hand and see who's after it."

As he spoke, old man Haran started changing physically.

He became slightly taller.

Two long hyena ears replaced his human ears. His eyes became a mixture of brown and yellow.

His hunched back became straight as he stood emitting an ominous aura.

....

Looking at this scene, The Bodyguard didn't hesitate and used the teleportation scroll, while the 2nd bodyguard and the maid waited, planning to head out with the old man.

The old man leapt towards the misty hand, while the ground beneath him fractured into a web-like pattern.

Crack!

..... … …

Back at the mountain house, Max was stunned as Violet appeared in front of him out of thin air, and pointed her finger at himself.

He wanted to jump down immediately, and have Lucy blow up the newcomer, but he wasn't fast enough, as golden light enveloped him.

Vrrr!.

No actual harm was done to him, but Max could feel something within his body changing slightly.

He stood in place and looked at the newcomer calmly, and he stopped Lucy from taking action since he need to understand what was done to his body.

Craw! Craw! Craw! Craw!

The crows eyed violet with hostility, but didn't make a move waiting for Max's orders.

violet didn't seem to notice any of that, as she smiled in pure ecstasy.

Now that Max looked at her carefully, he noticed her heart-shaped pupils, and he remembered something.

"you are from the Atyai family, right? And the golden light you just used on me should be the talent sun mark, I assume."

Violet nodded in confirmation. She didn't feel surprise that Max knew about her family and talent. After all, her family was too famous.

Max had limited knowledge about the families and various powers of the continent, but he was familiar with the Atyai family and their inherited genetic talent. Their reputation was not particularly good or bad, but rather tainted with disgust.

Their talent sun mark is somewhat similar to Max's, but only works on humans.

They technically parasites geniuses of the other sex in order to grow stronger.

There was even that one incident when the Atyai family had faced a near extinction event in the past, when a certain female member of the family had used her talent on the son of an SS-Rank Powerhouse.

In response, the Powerhouse had killed that woman and several other family members, leaving them shattered in his wake.

... Max fell deep in thought, trying to remember the details of their talent.

Now that he is marked, if he grows stronger, so will this woman.

'Never.' Max will rather die than live as someone's lap dog, working his ass out to benefit some random bitch he just met.

Still, there were different methods to handle the situation, and he was considering which was the best.

Although he looked calm, Violet could see his pupils shaking from time to time. He was obviously holding his anger.

"don't give me that look. My talent isn't actually harmful to you as long as I don't use it on others.

In fact, it is quite beneficial, it will enhance the growth speed of your spirituality attribute by 10% and its effectiveness will gradually increase over time.

Plus, my family will take care of you, pets, resources, and knowledge whatever you need. "

Max looked her deep in the eye, which made violet scared a little, although she didn't show it.

"if it's the sun mark, then as long as I kill you here, I'd be free from it."

Max had to ask probing questions because he wasn't certain.

Violet smiled confidently. "although that's true, but you are weak and I am not alone. "

Seemingly to prove her words, one of the bodyguards teleported next to her.

Violet smiled happily. Luck seems to be on her side. "you see this D-rank bodyguard? There is another one, also there is my uncle, a peak C-rank Beast holder. Just come with us. I really won't harm you. "
