Chapter 70: Reunion!
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw a man wearing a cheap set of clothes walking languidly with a kingdom toppling beauty. No one could find a word to speak for some time. What kind of situation was this?
Even servants of these people would wear better clothes than this man on their normal days, but he came at the princess's birthday like this and even dared to interrupt Daniel!
Many people were looking at him as if he was some kind of idiot. However, those who knew about Ayaan didn't dare to show any disrespect on their faces, but not everyone knew about him.
"Who is he? See the clothes he is wearing they are so cheap."
"Who cares about him? Look at the beauty at his side, how could a toad-like him have a swan at his side?"
"What is she doing with that beggar?"
Some people tried to warn their companion but no one paid any attention to them when they saw a beauty like Rebecca beside Ayaan. Jealousy filled their heart and they wanted nothing but to crush him as soon as possible; so they would have a chance with the lady.
When those people heard their friend's words they maintained the distance of a few meters from them. Indicating that they didn't have anything to do with these peoples; although those people were confused when they saw the reaction of the people, no one paid them any attention, because at this moment their gaze was locked on Rebecca.
Hearing the voice of the people Daniel turned towards Ayaan and when he saw him, his expression changed. He had seen Ayaan's strength with his own eyes and didn't want to cross lines with this madman who could fight with entire Ferlee family all alone.
However, when his gaze landed on Rebecca jealousy flickered in his eyes, turning towards Hellshard and the man nodded. He won't let Ayaan spoil his plan this easily.
"Ayaan!" Isobel called out his name jubilantly, attracting everyone's attention. When the people present heard his name, their feet turned cold. Though they didn't see Ayaan with their own eyes, everyone had heard about him.
A few people who were speaking nonsense just a few seconds ago shivered in fear and hid behind their companions, so to avoid attracting Ayaan's attention.
At this moment, Isobel didn't give a single look to Daniel and went towards Ayaan while dragging her sister whose expression had frozen on the spot and didn't know what this situation was, her mind turned topsy-turvy.
'Am I dreaming? Is he really here? Bu-but how could he come here? He was so much weaker; for reaching here one had to cross many dangerous areas. There are so many vicious beasts, how did he reach here? How much he struggled to get here?'.
When she was questioning herself that if everything was real or her imagination, Isobel arrived in front of Ayaan with a smiling face.
"I was wondering why you two still aren't here. So, you were late as usual. Anyways, today I am going to introduce someone, meet my sister, Noor." Isobel introduced Noor, taking both Ayaan and Rebecca by surprise.
They didn't expect Isobel to be Noor's sister. He couldn't believe that he was working with Noor's sister all this time and he didn't know about it.
"Noor, meet him, he is Ay-"
"Ayaan!" Before Isobel could complete her sentence, Noor spoke with a hoarse voice taking her by surprise. As she wanted to ask how she knew about him, the lady dashed into her man's arms, hugging him tightly.
Isobel's expression froze on the spot. Not only her, but every single person present in the hall also had a dumbstruck look. No one saw this coming; people knew that Isobel was doing business with him but not even a single person heard the relation between Ayaan and Noor.
Just when everyone was doubtful about the situation and didn't know what was happening, the lady in Ayaan's arm started to sob, "I-I wa-wanted to meet you, but n-no one let me go. They locked me inside the palace. No ma-matter how hard I tried I couldn't escape. Do you blame me for leaving you?"
Hearing the lady, Ayaan understood most of the situation and patted on her back gently, "Silly girl, how could I blame you? You must have your reasons. Now I am here, everything will be fine."
"Hmm..." Noor whispered and continued to hold him tightly.
Afterwards, he looked at Isobel and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be Noor's sister. So that was the reason why I was attr- err.. found you familiar."
Isobel didn't know how to reply to him; Rebecca didn't interrupt the duo, she remained silent at Ayaan's side while a pleasant smile was plastered on her face; there was no jealousy on her face but only happiness for Ayaan.
Before Isobel could respond, an angry shout interrupted their conversation, "How dare you touch my woman!?"
Eventually, Ayan turned towards Daniel and gave him a disdainful look but didn't speak anything; instead, he hugged Noor even tighter.
At this time, Noor as well came back to her senses and worried expression appeared on her face. She didn't know anything Ayaan did in the capital; therefore, it was normal for her to become worried when she saw angry Daniel; he was high mage after all and she didn't think Ayaan was high mage himself.
When she taught him magic, he was nothing but an ordinary man with no magic energy inside his body. At that time, she was at the senior mage and after more than a year, she only reached the peak of a senior mage. Even he was a heaven-defying genius, he would still take many years to become that much powerful.
Slap!
However, before she could warn Ayaan, a loud slap sounded in the entire hall; Ayaan was still by her side, but Daniel's face had turned red; a visible palm print appeared on his face, blood started to drip from the corner of his lips. His swollen face was looking just like a pig.
"How dare you!? Who dared to hit me!? Show your self!" the poor guy shouted furiously because he didn't even see who had hit him; like him, everyone else present also didn't know about the culprit behind the attack.
At this moment, Hellshard's expression turned grave and looked at Rebecca in shock. He never in his wildest dream thought this girl was this scary. He was at the seventh level of the great mage and clearly saw what had happened.
Rebecca had used a space spell to hit Daniel, not even some great mage would be able to tell how she did it, he could only tell this because he was way powerful than the girl.
Eventually, another thought appeared in his head, 'if this girl was at the level of great mage then what about the boy?' the man suddenly felt the situation very mysterious. 'Where these two had come from? How could someone at their age become this powerful without the backing of a powerful organisation?'
The man didn't know what to do about this situation. In their plan, Ayaan was only at the level of the ancestor of Ferlee family; even if he was little more powerful it won't affect their plan, but after seeing the strength of Rebecca, he couldn't believe anything which happened previously.
Ayaan again looked at Daniel and mocked the man, "What are you talking about? You just slapped yourself and now you are trying to blame someone else. How could anyone be this shameless? Oh...I know, Isobel must have invited a clown to entertain her guests. So you are that clown? Not bad."
Isobel looked at Ayaan's serious expression speechlessly and didn't know what to say. All the guests also looked at each other in dismay and no one knew what kind of celebration this had turned into.
Nevertheless, Ayaan's word had completely infuriated the man. Daniel's swollen face which had already looked like a pig turned even more ugly. The man couldn't take his insult, and barked furiously, "How dare you!? For your insult, I will make you regret being born in this world!"
"Ahh..okay, and how are you going to do that? With the help of that fucker?" Ayaan looked languidly at the man and turned his gaze at the side where Hellshard was standing.
No matter Hellshard or Daniel, both people's expression froze on the spot. Neither of them expected that there was someone who could see through Hellshard's shapeshifting spell.
However, people present at the venue didn't know about his reality; therefore, everyone looked at Ayaan in confusion. Arnav Ferlee had since long run away and hidden behind the people at the corner of the hall. His fear for Ayaan had reached another level.
"Aren't you going to take revenge for sir Daniel, Mr Hellshard?" As his voice faded, his body disappeared from the spot.
Before anyone could understand what had happened, another shocking scene appeared in the hall. Ayaan again appeared in front of the masses, however, at this time he was beside Hellshard. Without giving him any chance to react, Ayaan held him by his neck.
The man tried to struggle but Ayaan's grip was very strong, not giving any chance to Hellshard, "Don't try to struggle or it won't take me even a millisecond to twist your soft neck."
Looking at Ayaan's fierce gaze, Hellshard didn't doubt that he would do such a thing if he dared to struggle any further. He was able to tell Rebecca using space element but he didn't even know how Ayaan attacked him.
After that, Ayaan turned towards Daniel whose face was wide open in disbelief. Daniel had never thought he could defeat someone who was at the seventh level of the great mage.
"Alas, this was your source of confidence. Such a disappointment." he looked at the Daniel and continued, "You better call your stupid grandpa who is still hiding and that one more person."
"H-how d-do k-kno-know?" Hellshard again started to struggle when he heard Ayaan's words. He wanted to ask how did he know about all these things, alas, he made a mistake at this time.
"I told you to not struggle. Didn't you hear? Or you think I won't be able to kill you because of your stupid reinforcement?" He looked at the man in his hand and suddenly activated his soul devour. The man's body started to twitch, his expression became twisted, but at this moment, another powerful aura descended in the entire hall.
"How dare you, boy!"
Everyone's face turned pale when the aura descended in the hall. Ayaan curled his lips when he heard the shout.
'Now the real fight will begin'. Ayan looked at the man hanging in his hand and threw him at the side like garbage; there was no soul left in his body while his eyes were wide open; visible fear could be seen in them.
