Reborn With The All Seeing Eye

[Some minutes later.]

"Welcome."

Lucy and her husband smiled brightly at the King's messenger, a middle-age man who walked inside the sitting room with four royal guards following behind.

"Why didn't you welcome us on the entrance? I see the merchants' head is angry with the royal family."

The man walked into the sitting room, and sat down on a couch like he owns the place.

"Sit." He said to the couples.

Lucy looked at her husband, and said to the arrogant man.

"You got it wrong, We were busy that's why we couldn't welcome you at the door, I'm not angry with the King."

The two sat down, their gazes fixed on the man... Seeing his intense gaze on his wife, the husband quickly opened his mouth:

"Mr Xo, Please get our honor guest some drink and snacks--"

"--That's not needed." The messenger cut him off, and added:

"The king sent me here to asked why the Merchants aren't selling their goods in our kingdom, So what is the reason for this?"

Lucy thought for a moment, and gave the speech she already prepared:

"Two days ago, Some merchants got killed on the way to your kingdom, all their goods were stolen, This incident caused the rest of us to be fearful... And some decided to stop coming... As their head, I also came to the same decision--"

"--Which is?" A frown appeared on the Messenger's face.

"One month Ban, to remove this ban; Your Kingdom will have to locate the killers, Compensate the goods stolen, If these two conditions are met, the ban will be lifted off your kingdom."

The more the Messenger listened, the more his frown deepened.

"Let me get something straight... Some merchants got killed on the way to my Kingdom, and have their goods stolen... How is that our fault?"

"It happened some miles from your border, how isn't it your fault? Your lack of security led to the death of ten merchants." Lucy said with a frown.

The Messenger was silent, he sighed and relaxed on the couch; "Give me the Merchants' families contact, we'll settle them in accordance... Then, the Merchants can start selling, right?"

"No." Lucy shook her head.

The man's face turned cold: "And why is that?!"

"We already tried to settle the families, but justice is what they're after, not money."

The Messenger was stunned; "Then..."

He was speechless. 'What the hell am I going to say? Maybe I can bribe her. Yes.'

"Ahem!" A cleared his throat;

"Ok, I have another idea, We'll give you 500,000 gold coins, all you need to do is help us convince the Merchants to start selling... I know with you position, you surely have some power... Furthermore, Your merchants can even increase the price of your goods, we'll buy it, even if it's 50% increase..."

"50% increase? Can your people afford that?" Lucy asked in mild surprised.

"Yes... And don't forget the 500,000 gold coins."

Lucy scoffed at him: "You demons are always thinking about the rich... Increasing 50% in our goods will be hard for your people to buy, look at this, Goods is sold for 10 gold coins, How do you expect your people to have the money to pay for the same goods which will be sold for 50? It might be beneficial to the nobles, but what about the Common people? You know my rule...

All my merchants sold things affordable to the public, No matter their status."

"They'll adapt with the change." The man said in a straight tone.

"Sorry, but that won't be possible... You heard my conditions, go back to the king, and see if you can fulfill it... Oh, We also need prove."

"Do you know your holy merchant guild is going against the Demon Kingdom?"

"And how is that?" Killing Intent flashed in her eyes.

"Refusing to obey orders, and you don't want to anger us." The Messenger stood up, he was clearly unhappy.

"Is that a threat? My guild might be the third in the world, but we aren't pushover!"

The Messenger moved his gaze around the room, and stopped on the couples; "We'll see about that."

With a huff, he walked out of the house, followed by the four Knights.

"Wow, You aren't brave, Lucy. I won't even dare to go against the Demon Kingdom... Don't forget we humans are guests in the third Continent... The Demon Kingdom has the power here."

"So? If what Princess Lilly wrote in the contract is correct, We'll be protected by them, right?"

"You have a point... But do you think Terra is Stronger than the demon kingdom?"

"I don't think, I know, That princess Lilly is a Heavenly-Saint Realm, And her guard is a Cursed-Demon, that kid called Vince is also a master realm, all the three following Kira are all Heavenly-Saint, while Kira herself is a Saint... Princess Lilly also mentioned having a Brother, who is also the king of Terra... Just imagine what Realm he'll be on to have such powerful figures under him."

"Wow, your observation is top-notch... Let's just hope you're right." He sighed.

[Outside the house.]

"What are we going to do now, Messenger Zack?" The knight walking beside Zack asked.

"The queen will have my head if we don't complete this mission." Zack stopped, he looked at the house over his shoulder, Killing Intent spreading out from him.

Zack was once a powerful cultivator in the Sky Realm, but, because of money and title, he moved to the castle and took the position of the royal messenger... And now, a common merchants' head refused his great offer, he even gave her 500,000 gold coins.

"Send someone to the take care of her kids, if those two are in our hands, she'll do anything we ask." He stated, stunning the four.

"You are going to blackmail the couples?"

They were shocked.

Zack sneered: "Do any of you have a better plan?"

"Well..."

They looked at one another, then shook their heads.

"Good." He started walking.

"Send some bounty Hunters, kidnap the two, and wait for my order."

"Yes, Messenger Zack."

The group walked towards their convoy, got on it, and drove away.

A Hundred meters from their location, A white werewolf hid in the darkness, watching the group, after some minutes, it ran away from the location.

[Academy.]

[Test Ground.]

Everyone already gathered on the field, waiting for the final test to begin, but... Aaron was missing... That wasn't the only surprising thing on the field.

"Is that Mott?"

"What did he do to his body?"

"Wow! He looks so handsome now!!"

"I can't believe this!!"

"What happened to his fats?!"

All the kids in the outer section were stunned, seeing the well-built Mott, muscles could be seen on his body, and if that's not the surprising thing, he was now a Saint Realm...

Their eyes widened, seeing Mott and Stellar laughing together, and she was also a Saint Realm too... These kids would have gotten a heart attack if Lori also increase in realm, Thank goodness she remained on her realm; a beginner.

"Where's Aa-- I mean, Jack?" Stellar asked her friend, who simply shook her head;

"I don't know."

On the podium, Kara, and the elders sat with the royal families, while the Dean stood in front of them.

"Where is Jack?" The Dean asked no one particular, moving his gaze around in confusion.

"Something isn't right, Is it possible to increase in realm under a night? Look at those kids in the outer section, they're a lot stronger than their section." The second elder revealed, observing Mott and Stellar.

"True, after this test, we'll announce their promotion in section." Kara nodded; "These two might be hidden geniuses." She added.

The elders observed the two for a moment, and nodded in approval, and agreement.

"Jack is here!!!"

Angela, Harold, and everyone present raised their heads to Aaron, who was descending towards them, with...

"Is that?!"

Kara and the elders stood up in shock.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Hmm... He looked ok... But... Aura is still sleeping like a polar bear.' Angela thought, observing the body behind Aaron. "Wait! Is that?!"

All the royal families stood up, the parents, students and even the contestants all fixed their gazes on the body descending with Aaron.

"I hope I'm not late, I was on a mission." Aaron landed on the ground, with Protean on his shoulder.

The body slowly landed in front of the Podium.

"Is that?" Kara was speechless, staring at the burnt body, but with the shape, anyone could see it's a female.

"I completed your quest... This is the proof you asked for... I killed the Vampire... And sorry for the burnt body, I had to use by Light Magic." Aaron said with a scratch of his head.

Kara walked down the Podium and observed the body, She squat down, and moved her hand on the unrecognized face.

A frown appeared on her face, seeing she couldn't return the face to its usual appearance.

'Is Jack's light magic mastery a lot higher than mine? How is that possible? I'm way older and stronger than him.' With confusion, she stood up.

'If he's this powerful, there's no way the Vampire would have survived.' She nodded thoughtfully.

"You did Good, Jack. You completed the quest, and your reward--"

"--I refuse." Aaron cut her off.

"Huh?"

Kara and the elders were stunned, who will refuse to be a guardian?
