"Zerra, help Jane pacify the dragon spirit. It is affected by the kid's emotions; she won't be able to calm it down on her own," the old man looked at the black and white dragon, which was still growling in a low voice despite being pinned to the ground, and said to Jane's mother.
Zerra looked at Jane and said, "Try communicating with it using your mind. I will cast a light spell to calm it down."
Jane hurriedly nodded and ran towards the dragon spirit. She caressed its neck gently, "Blacky, Whitey, calm down... that grandpa is not an enemy... please calm down."
"Second rank, Soothing Spirit Butterflies," Zerra cast a light element spell, and suddenly, light element particles gathered around the dragon spirit and condensed into little butterflies, which danced around him while spreading a golden glow.
Gradually, the struggling dragon calmed down, and with a flash, it transformed back into two little snakes. The white snake flew towards Jane and nestled against her neck, while the black one flew towards Alvin and rubbed its small head against Alvin's cheek as though it was asking him to wake up.
The old man smiled. After standing up, he picked up the black snake in his palm and, with one hand, lifted Alvin and slung him over his shoulder. "Let's talk inside my aircraft. This place is not suitable for a conversation."
Zerra nodded. As she looked around her, there was already a large crowd gathered. Although the guards had stopped them at a considerable distance, it was still better to move away from this place.
One of the middle-aged guards tapped a few buttons on his watch, and a large shadow suddenly engulfed the sky, making the entire place seem as though it was under a rainy sky.
Silently, a large spaceship over 100 meters in length and width appeared in everyone's view. Several beams of light shone from the spaceship onto the old man, the wolf-like creatures, the three middle-aged men, Zerra, Jane, and even on the injured middle-aged man who was still in Alvin's room.
The next second, all of them vanished as though they had not been there a moment ago. The large aircraft also vanished as though its presence a moment ago was just an illusion.
"Terrifying, it's surely some bigwigs from a higher-tier city."
"Yeah, I have never seen such a huge aircraft in my life..."
"Does anyone know the identities of those people?"
The people started murmuring among themselves after the aircraft left the place.
...
Inside the aircraft, it was like a luxurious mansion with several maids and all kinds of decorations. There were even some cute animals like rabbits and deer running here and there.
"You sure know how to enjoy life, Uncle. Compared to this, my father's spacecraft is simply trash," Zerra said enviously as she looked around. Even Jane had the same expression on her face.
The old man chuckled, "Of course. How can you compare me with that old bastard? We Nyxborns are at the top in both wealth and strength."
Zerra rolled her eyes.
The old man laid Alvin down on a bed two maids brought out and touched the head of the little Blacky, who was staring at him with its black eyes. "A Yin Dragon, and the white Dragon on Jane's shoulder is a Yang Dragon."
The old man's eyes landed on the white snake on Jane's shoulder, and he smiled, "It's made of this brat's Yang energy, right?"
Jane lowered her head. She didn't dare look at the old man at this moment, as her wedding was already decided with the old man's grandson, Alin.
Zerra also didn't say anything. She waited for the old man to speak.
The old man sighed, "Don't lower your head, child. I already know both you and that useless grandson of mine are not happy with this arrangement made by us old people. I would have never allowed your wedding if you had not sorted out your relationship either. So just forget about that, I will talk to your grandfather about this later."
"Thank you, Grandpa," Jane hurriedly thanked the old man when she heard this.
The old man nodded and walked towards Alvin before placing his hand on Alvin's head.
Suddenly, pitch-black darkness mana conjured around the man's hand and entered Alvin's body.
This would have been enough to corrode the internal organs of a normal human in an instant, but Alvin's body began absorbing the darkness mana as though it was the most delicious treat for it.
After a while, Alvin slowly opened his eyes. He blinked a few times to clear the haze in his eyes, "You..."
What appeared in front of Alvin was an old man with a white beard and a long mustache. Alvin wanted to punch this face right then and there, but he couldn't even lift his hands or legs, as though he was paralyzed.
"How do you feel, little brat?" the old man asked with a smile.
"I feel like pulling out your beard, old brat," Alvin shot back coldly.
The old man chuckled, "Show some respect, kid. After all, I am your grandfather."
"Oh, then I am your father, you old bastard," Alvin scolded the old man mercilessly.
The old man:
Jane:...
Zerra:...
All of them were speechless after hearing Alvin's reply.
Jane's mother came forward and said to Alvin, "Young man, my name is Zerra Everheart and I am Jane's mother."
"Who is Jane?" Alvin asked in confusion. He didn't know the young lady's name, as they had never introduced themselves.
"It's me," suddenly Jane's low voice came from the side. Alvin turned his head with some difficulty and saw Jane standing there with a white snake on her shoulder.
"Oh, so the blockhead's name is Jane. Anyway, nice to meet you, Madam," Alvin said to Zerra after taking a glance at Jane.
Zerra smiled, "You are quite a respectful lad. Nice to meet you as well. Now, Alvin, what this old man is saying is true. He is your real grandfather, and he is not from Phynic Land as he claimed. He was just teasing you back then..."
Alvin nodded indifferently, "That's a really good way to tease. If I had my axe when I first attacked, his head might have rolled on the ground."
The old man's mouth twitched, "Don't be cocky, brat. I have survived way more battles than the number of days you've been alive in this world. It was only because I was testing you that I allowed your kick to land on me."
Everyone present looked at the old man speechlessly, as though saying, Old man, your acting is too mediocre.
But the old man ignored their gazes as though whatever he said was true and he wouldn't accept any objections to it.
