Chapter 99 Aster’s Gift
Egil almost choke with the wine he was drinking when he heard his nephew saying that the little boy in front of them was the "golden reaper", the day of the auction he was one of the spectators so he saw with his own eyes how Kurt Rein lost one of his arms just because a slight touch of those terrifying golden flames.
Like many others that were seeing the show he tried to simulate what would have happened if the attack was directed at him instead of the Rein family members and although he was at the peak stellar constellation realm, the best outcome he could imagine was him losing either an arm or a leg before running away for his life.
Eric nodded seeing that Aster didn't bother to hide the fact that his supposition was correct.
"To be honest I was half guessing, you see my body constitution is called "Barbarian King" body and it is a type of constitution that mainly focuses on body cultivation, you probably already know but there aren't any body cultivators on this planet… nah according to my older sister there aren't body cultivators in this sar cluster besides me"
"I'm not bragging but my constitution is a quite high ranked one so even when I met elders who were above the star tribulation realm, I didn't feel pressured by their body aura but when I first met you although I kept my cool on the surface… every cell in my body was screaming "Run", coincidentally when the "golden reaper" summoned those golden things I got the same feeling so I just connected the points".
Aster was surprised listening to Eric's explanation, because he seemed to know a lot more about cultivation than the average people of the Rodia star cluster and also, he didn't notice that Eric was a body cultivator, he turned to see his mother because she didn't say anything about that when they met.
Lilia just shrugged.
"He probably has something to hide his cultivation path, I haven't heard about his constitution but if it is truly mostly suited for body cultivation then he probably has a high sensibility towards danger, mm like an enhanced version of instincts".
Eric pointed one of the ornaments on his neck which seemed to be made out of the bones of a spirit beast.
"That lady is right, this is the legacy treasure of the Barbarian heart sect which was given to me due to my special constitution, since I'm only in the earth origin realm I'm not suited to travel in a spaceship yet so I have to stay in the azure sky planet until I reach the star formation realm and this treasure hides my cultivation path from the eyes of others in the meantime".
Egil felt his legs giving up, "just like that this stupid nephew of mine told basically every secret of our Asher family to someone he has just seen twice!!!!".
There was only one thing Aster didn't understand.
"I get the part about your brother and all that, but was it necessary to tell me al this, your uncle seems to be having a mental break down right now, you know?"
Eric laughed.
"What's the use of hiding all this when you are probably not a native of this star cluster, besides if you wanted to kill us, I have no doubts that both me and uncle Egil would have not been able to leave this place alive… since that lady over there gives off a stronger presence than the patriarch of the Barbarian heart sect", he said while pointing at Lilia.
Egil shook his head.
"You brat, why the hell didn't you tell me about all this before we came here?".
"Because then you would have not allowed me to come here if I told you right?".
Egil sighed, "I swear this stupid brat is going to cause my death someday", he thought.
To be honest Aster was indeed interested in the background of the Asher family now, considering they seemed to have some relation with another star cluster where there were probably mortal transcending realm cultivators but right now their food arrived, and in an hour, they needed to attend Arthur's birthday ceremony so his curiosity would have to wait at least until the party.
"How about we continue this conversation on the party later?", he said.
Eric nodded before standing up.
"Sounds good to me, see you in the party brother Aster".
He and Egil left the room and the waiter entered with their dishes, while they were eating Aster wanted to ask Lilia some things.
"Mom, have you ever heard about that Barbarian heart sect?".
Lilia shook her head.
"No, to be honest I only know about forces that have at least one peak transcending realm cultivator be it a Law integration or a Gate transcending one, I suppose the best cultivator on that sect must be an early-stage genesis manifestation cultivator, since that treasure, he was using was at most a middle stellar rank treasure".
Aster seemed to contemplate things for a moment.
"Are you completely sure of it?".
Lilia smiled.
"Immortal rank treasures are really rare darling, even if you know a master blacksmith, the materials needed to create one would need to be from at least a heavenly comprehension realm spirit beast and there would be an 80% chance that the creation fails, so stellar rank treasures tend to be the legacy among low and medium tier ranked forces".
Aster smiled.
"Well, that being the case I guess I already know our first stop once we leave the Rodia star cluster".
He has been thinking were will they go once he reaches the star formation realm on the future and the star cluster where the barbarian heart sect resided seemed to be a good starting point, not like he was going to join tat particular sect but there were probably other forces, so he will just look for one which rules didn't restrict his freedom.
Once they finished eating Aria guided them to the Ghale family grounds, there were some people waiting in line to enter while others were allowed to enter directly, the guards of course didn't dare to keep the young miss of their family waiting so their group entered directly.
Arthur personally came to welcome them.
"It's good to see you attending this old man's humble ceremony, for a moment I nearly had to cancel it due to some maniac nearly killing the first son of the Rein family patriarch on Ghaleria… luckily the administrator of the auction spoke on behalf of our city saying that the only ones that caused that were the Rein family".
"Pffft- hahaha", Aria and Alice couldn't hold their laughs back, which confused Arthur because it was quite a serious topic.
"I'm sorry dad but the "maniac" you are talking about is in front of you", said Aria while pointing at Aster.
Arthur's eyes widened but after a moment he just sighed.
"I guess I should have supposed it… whatever the auction house guards fixed the hole in the street so we didn't have to spend anything on that, and your little act made the Rein family afraid enough to practically leave this planet, although I heard that the youngest son of Kalas Rein stayed to act as the supervisor".
Remembering Kail's current status Aster smiled.
"Uncle Arthur I have a present for you, unfortunately I'm not going to give it to you on public but I bet it's going to be the best birthday gift you have ever gotten hahaha".
Arthur was immediately interested in his future son in law words.
"Oh, then come with me to my studio and let's see that present you mention".
Aster took out his communication talisman and said a few words before putting it back on his spatial ring, they went to Arthur's studio and waited a couple of minutes until they heard someone knocking on the door, Arthur opened the door and to his surprise in front of him the youngest son of the Rein family patriarch was standing outside.
"Come in", said Aster and Kail obeyed.
Once the door closed Kail immediately kneeled in front of Aster.
"Hi boss and young ladies".
Arthur's mind went blank seeing the scene that was developing in front of him.
Aster smiled before saying.
"From now and onwards you will also assist Aria's father, you must treat him with the same respect you show to me, of course keep all this in secret from other people eyes".
Kail bowed his head.
"Understood boss!!!".
Aster nodded, he turned to see Arthur before saying.
"This is my gift for you, all the resources available in this planet from the Rein family, happy birthday hahaha".
