********************************
In Desmar, inside Astaria Household.
A couple could be seen sitting on a huge dining table eating together. As the man was eating his food, he heard the voice of his wife.
"It seems that the Greville and Rothschild will have some confrontation in the near future," a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes told the man who was sitting on the same table as her.
"Well, the Greville were getting too powerful, so this would make sure they don't overstep their limits," the man with red hair replied to her.
"I was thinking that I should tell Alan to befriend the heir of the Greville during his stay at the World Academy, but this event with Rothschild made me reconsider it," the man spoke.
"ALEX!! Don't use our son for such purposes," the blond woman shouted at him.
"Use that bitch instead. No need to trouble Alan for such things," she spoke.
"Calm down, Mia. I was just thinking about creating a friendly relationship with the Greville, but I'm reconsidering it myself," the man calmed his wife down.
"And you know that girl is useless. I mean, her face is hideous enough that it would strain our relationship with the Greville more than better it," the man told her.
"Whatever, it's your headache, not mine." The woman stood up and walked out of the room.
"Sigh," the man sighed as he saw his wife leave the table.
"Tsk, this girl is so useless. But Alan befriending that Whiteheart boy doesn't sound too bad as well," the man said.
"Well, I have 7 months to think about it." He stood up after he finished the food and left the table as well.
*******************************
Asher moved out of the cave and looked in the direction where the portal gate was present. He was done with what he wanted to achieve in the dungeon and had also acquired the new sword art, which only time could tell where it would take him.
"Young Master!!" A couple of guards who were behind Emmy and searching in the cave saw Asher, so they came near him.
"I am fine. I have given Emmy the orders for now. Follow what she says for now," Asher said with an indifferent face.
"As you wish," the guards were used to him as they always followed him everywhere.
Asher left them, as they informed others who followed them inside the dungeon in their communication devices.
"Garreth, you take four guys and protect this dungeon until I send more people. Make sure nobody enters the dungeon until I give you guys the confirmation," Emmy told the guards with a serious face.
"Yes, Team Leader!" The guards replied together.
They did not question what the reason behind her decision was, as Emmy was not a simple maid that served Asher. She was a special elite that followed Sylvia, was partially trained by her, and was famous for her reconnaissance skills.
This team of guards were trained under Emmy directly as Asher's security. They were all B-Rank hunters, as this was enough for Asher who would only travel a few times. The Grevilles were sure that nobody was stupid enough to attack them in their own territory called Soran.
Although Soran also had the World Academy, it was on a floating island, and only the portal dome was present in Soran. So, the influence of the World Academy in Soran was not stronger than the Grevilles.
Asher saw the portal and stepped into it, feeling a huge wave of mana rush towards him as he found himself in front of the temporary camp that was set up outside the dungeon gate. The rest of the guards had already received the news of Asher being fine, so they were not surprised to see him walk out casually.
"Are you fine?" Amelia said. She was outside near the gate, so she saw Asher walking out of the dungeon gate looking almost fine.
Asher looked towards Amelia with his usual indifferent face.
"Yeah," Asher's same indifferent voice irked Amelia, but she could only take his answer.
"Where are the twins?" Asher asked Amelia.
"Oh, I think they will wake up soon." Amelia replied to him.
"Wake them up now. We are leaving." Asher said to Amelia.
"Okay," Amelia turned and replied to him, but you could tell she was irritated with Asher.
"Mean bastard," Amelia muttered as she walked towards the camp where the twins were resting.
"Young Master, I have arranged for security to guard this dungeon." Emmy, who came out just moments after Amelia left, said to Asher.
"I will tell Mom and Dad about this cave and my plans for it. Make sure news doesn't leak." Asher's gaze turned a bit cold, but Emmy did not seem to be affected by it.
"As you wish," Emmy was saying something when she suddenly got a notification about a certain piece of information Asher was looking for.
"Oh, I think we have found the person you described to me weeks ago." Emmy told Asher excitedly.
"Where is his current location?" Asher asked Emmy as he knew what information Emmy was talking about.
"It says that the person you described is hiding around in Vernes," Emmy replied.
"Vernes.." Asher muttered.
He knew that Vernes was another city of Somaria, south of Soran, and famous for being the city where the World Association tower was located in Somaria. Every continent had a building for the World Association, and for Somaria, it was Vernes.
"Bring that man to Soran, and make sure that nobody gets on your trail during this mission," Asher said to Emmy.
"This might be a bit tricky due to the World Association-" Emmy stopped as Asher threw something towards her.
"Take this emblem of the Raven family and make sure that he gets to Soran soon," Asher said.
Emmy looked at the emblem that Asher had taken out of his ring. It was the token that could only be used by VVIP members of the Raven guild. This was given to Asher by Alfred on his tenth birthday.
"Okay, I will make sure that the work gets done," Emmy immediately disappeared, leaving Asher alone.
Asher sat down and closed his eyes to assess the damage that he had suffered from the doping method. He channeled his mana circulation technique, and he could feel that the stinging pain was gone, but not completely. He could still feel a bit of pain left around his chest region, but it was something that would trouble him greatly.
"Not that bad," Asher muttered as he opened his eyes.
He found that his condition right now did not require him to take a potion to heal the numerous small injuries that he suffered from this method.
"Lucas, Livia, get up, we are leaving," Amelia said. The twins, who had rested enough, got up without creating any fuss.
"Hmmm, YAWN- Did we win, Lucas?" Livia yawned and asked Lucas if they had won. She looked cute worrying about the fight, even though she was quite tired.
"We did," Lucas brushed his hand on her head, making Livia giggle a bit.
"Come on, Livia, get up. We need to leave now. You can rest when we get home," Amelia told Livia.
"Okay, Big Sis," Livia immediately jumped from her bed as she nodded her head quickly to affirm Amelia.
'So cute,' Amelia thought in her mind, being careful not to speak out loud.
"Is bro out now?" Lucas asked with a low voice.
"Oh, apparently, he also got hurt and needed Emmy to take him out of the dungeon. Not so strong after all," Amelia cheekily changed the story a bit. It was her form of petty revenge against Asher for his mean attitude.
"Is he fine?" Lucas immediately asked her.
"Yeah, don't worry. He is outside, so you can see for yourself," Amelia replied to him. The twin saw Amelia leaving so they followed her.
"Ash, we are ready to go!" Amelia came out with the twins and saw Asher standing there, waiting for them.
As they moved towards the location of their cars, Amelia noticed that some of their security was missing.
"Emmy, some of the guys are missing," Amelia turned her head and asked Emmy, who was beside her.
"They are guarding the dungeon on my order," before Emmy could answer, Asher replied to her question.
"Oh, is there any reason for extra people here?" Amelia got curious, so she asked Asher.
"You will know soon enough," Asher sat in the car as the driver opened the door for him.
"You-" Amelia muttered quietly but stopped midway and quietly sat in the car.
The car left for the mansion, and Emmy also went together with them. Lucas was curious about what Asher encountered in the dungeon, so he chose to ask directly.
"How many of those monsters did you kill?" Lucas's eyes shone as he asked Asher. It was a bit weird for a 10-year-old to get excited by the thought of killing monsters, but being a Greville, being a bit insane ran in his blood as well.
"Don't know, maybe above 100, including the boss," Asher looked at him and answered.
"Wait, you killed the boss? And 100+ F-Rank monsters?" Amelia almost screamed but controlled her voice.
