"Why is this happening!?".

'Bam,' a smooth and delicate hand slammed a wooden desk inside the office where Xiao Long worked. In front of him stood a menacing girl, accompanied by her other two friends behind, asking why all of this could happen.

Xiao Lian and her two comrades behind her had just awoken from yesterday's exhausting battle, and it took them a whole night to recuperate before they got news from Violet that things had turned quite troublesome.

It is unusual to see Xiao Lian show that much rage within her usual calm and ignorant nature. Even his father, Xiao Long, flinched and was afraid that things would turn worse in the family with her daughter like that.

Yesterday, after the event that happened in the Capital City, which now lay wasted by the appearance of the dragon, all four families were summoned to a court, and many S-Rank awakeners from the country also gathered to give judgment to Soma.

Xiao Long was stunned at first, but upon further clarification, His deed that suddenly assaulted a woman on a broad day drew criticism upon him; there is also much proof of his doing that spreading all over the internet.

The atmosphere around the court was heavy, and many of the big names supported the decision to confine the boy until the investigation reached a new light.

Initially, Xiao Long and Lin Fan, who knew Soma, intended to open their mouths to talk, but Soma's glares shut them up. The boy knew well what would happen if the two of them decide to cover him, in that atmosphere.

The two were devastated especially Lin Fan. Even Xiao Long accidentally saw him destroy a waiting room before all the guests came home. He remembered that the Lin Family head was furious; his eyes were red, and he condemned all of the jurisdiction.

Xiao Long decided to have a small talk with the boy, but because of the situation and his mood, he held back. So, the current situation happened, when he was tied and couldn't voice any explanation to his furious daughter.

"You were there, right? Why didn't you do anything? We are a renowned family, right? All that talk about legacy things, and you can't even talk back—what hubris!"

Every word that his daughter threw at him sliced open a wound in his heart, bit by bit, until it carved a massive hole of regret. He looked down, unable to say anything; his adjutant, also muted, couldn't even refute the girl's rage.

"Why!? Why are you silent? answer me, you basta…!".

"Lian'er!".

A stern yet gentle voice echoed inside the room, and Xiao Luan breached out toward the room where the conflict happened. The atmosphere halted. Hina and Serafina, who also couldn't do anything about Xiao LIan's rage, were stunned to see Xiao Luan appear with Xiao Rui.

"...Mother…?".

"Okay, that's enough sweetheart, let's stop it right here!".

"...But, Soma is…".

Soon, when Xiao Lian was about to open her mouth, Xiao Luan approached and took her daughter to embrace her. Xiao Luan could feel the rage and hatred emanating from her daughter, seeing how the trembling didn't stop even after she did this.

She felt disheartened to see her daughter become so emotionally attached to someone who could spark war even in her family. That is how far Xiao Lian treasured the promise to him; she even intends to take it to her grave.

Xiao Lian promised to protect Soma when he needed it. Now, she must witness firsthand just how foolish and arrogant her thinking is. With her current powerless strength, no connection, and not enough influence to move even the crowd, she was at a loss.

"...Soma".

Her weak sob resonated with the other girls behind her. Hina kept her face calm, but deep inside, she was frustrated; her nails dug into her skin, causing a severe wound and blood to fall to the floor.

Serafina, on the other hand, began to plot something ominous inside her head and began to ask her shadow members, under Violet's command, to infiltrate the country and steal any important information inside.

"...It's okay, Lian'er, rest for now. I will speak to your father, and you two also take a rest! I will handle it from here, Rui if you may?".

"Yes sister, Lian'er, Hina and Sera, let's go to the house first!".

After being pacified by Xiao Luan, the girls, guided by Xiao Rui, reluctantly leave the room, where Xiao Long can finally breathe in relief.

"Tell me everything! What happened that day!".

The room instantly froze after Xiao Luan's icy tone resonated. Xiao Long trembled, and his adjutant started to calculate several paths for him to escape this situation. With a heavy heart, Xiao Long began to shift their place and talk around on the Sofa.

Time was ticking, and a moment of silence descended upon the room. Xiao Long was tensed, waiting for his wife's response after hearing about yesterday's event.

"...I see. So, Soma had understood that far…".

"...Ye-yeah, I was also surprised when the boy glar- I mean glance at me, it was…".

"Pathetic!".

Xiao Long's body twitches after hearing his wife's cold diss and the way she looks at him, like a piece of rubble on the roadside.

"Is this the man I was infatuated with? It seemed, my eyes had been blinded back then".

"Luan, What are you?".

"Enough with this pathetic side of you. Are you afraid of those silly guys within the government because of some random accusation they blamed on a single kid?".

"What? No, I was just…".

"Again with a reason, you know it didn't you? Who was the person who saved me from that long sleep, whichever of you can't accomplish all these years? Who?".

"...". Xiao Long and his adjutant stiffened in their tracks.

"...You couldn't say it? Okay, I will spill the name. He was Soma or rather Xiao Ma the son of Xiao Lei, one of my sisters in arms and Rui's nephew, who brought me from that abyss. His achievement should have been rewarded greatly by this Xiao Family…".

The two men in the place were silent, lost in their own thoughts, especially Xiao Long, whose brows were knitted, filled with deep regret for what he had done these days. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

"...And yet. Because that creepy sense of doting tendency of yours who give him a stupid trial just to prove his worth, without thanking him, and now when the city had blamed him for what he do is to fight those demon creature that you and everybody else couldn't do or should be said not wanted to get your hand dirty. As a head from a renowned family, who should hold their prestigious conduct in wise. Instead, what did you do? You abandoned him just because you don't want your family not want to get criticism from the people. You have no right to call yourself Xiao family's head!".

"!?".

Her words struck down like thunder that rang in his heart, making Xiao Long duck down; he was unable to see his wife's face any longer because of the shame. "Truly, what a fool I am…".

*****

At the same time, inside a luxurious living room where the Lin Family had gathered to discuss the topic of what had happened in the court earlier, it turned heavy. Leon and his party members sat on the corner, not daring to utter a voice. They are even careful with their breath.

Two people who hold power within the house are sitting comfortably on the Sofa and facing each other. One of them is looking down in rage, but the other is looking at him with contempt.

"Son, is that what happened earlier?".

"Yes, what is wrong, mother?".

Lin Fan, who had kept looking down since they talked, now could see his mother's contempt gaze directed at him, making his body flinch and colour drain from his face.

After hearing what his son said, Lin Huang sighed in disappointment to hear that his son would do something so foolish as to abandon the family saviour just for some petty criticism.

"Lin Fan, you truly disappoint me!".

A chilling phrase that even stabbed the guest in the corner froze Lin Fan's ability to think. He knows exactly what her mother's current mood is; she is really pissed.

This is one of Lin family teachings: when one parent calls their offspring by a full name, it means that the parents are angry or disappointed at them. Lin Fan's butt used to be wiped out by her mother's wrath; it also includes Lin Jia, who trembles like a newborn fawn on the corner within Leon's group.

"I never ever remember raising someone to become a spineless person like you!".

"!?".

"The boy was our saviour. He was the one who saved us, no, saved this family. The mercy he shows, who pardoned Jia after transforming into a demon and turned her back into a normal girl who can laugh and smile again, and yet, you abandoned him when he needed the help most. What kind of family head are you, huh? Answer me, Lin Fan!".

Lin Fan was muted. No words or reasoning could help him in the face of his mother's wrath. He clenched both teeth and fists tight, wallowing in his deep shame for taking his words back to his saviour. "I'm such a fool!"
