Chapter 3254 Family
“Livya, don’t worry. I’m here for you,” Cloud whispered as he approached Livya amidst the crowd.
Livya glanced at Cloud, smiled, and nodded. Regardless of Cloud’s strength at the moment, having him by her side made her feel less alone. While Livya and Cloud spoke, Genya, not far away, spotted Cloud.
“Yorath, look, isn’t that the alchemist Cade brought in? How did he manage to get in?” Genya uttered, pointing at Cloud.
When Cade had brought Jared and the others here, he claimed that they were alchemists, so Genya and the others assumed that Cloud was also an alchemist.
Yorath glanced over and sneered. “It must be some trick by Cade to let this guy infiltrate the team into the ancestral land. Don’t you see how he’s even wearing the Seizon family clothes? But it doesn’t matter. Even if he’s in the Seizon family’s attire, entering the ancestral land won’t help. When Old Mr. Ozrell exposes him, let’s see how they’ll explain.”
Yorath did not expose Cloud on the spot; he planned to wait until they entered the ancestral land. It would be more entertaining when Ozrell confronted him.
The group quickly entered the ancestral land and proceeded into the grand hall. The Seizon family’s ancestor was still sitting in the center of the hall, eyes half-closed.
Seeing this, the people of the Seizon family went on their knees and bowed, loudly declaring, “Greetings, Old Mr. Ozrell.”
Ozrell slowly opened his eyes and immediately focused his gaze on Jadiel. Without needing to check his bloodline, Ozrell could tell Jadiel was not of the Seizon family.
“What’s going on? Why is there an outsider here?” Ozrell asked coldly.
“Old Mr. Ozrell, this is Mr. Jadiel from Behemoth Palace. As our Seizon family owes Behemoth Palace a favor, the head of the family has allowed Mr. Jadiel to enter the ancestral land. Here is the family head token.”
Yorath hurriedly presented the family head token to Ozrell. Ozrell briefly glanced at it, not saying anything. Instead, he waved his hand, opening a portal behind him. With the portal open, everyone could enter the ancestral land. However, Yorath wore a puzzled expression.
“Old Mr. Ozrell, don’t you need to verify our identities? What if someone has infiltrated us?” Yorath asked.
“No one has infiltrated you. I have already checked. These people all possess Seizon blood,” Ozrell replied indifferently.
“Old Mr. Ozrell, a-are you sure? Shouldn’t we double-check?”
Yorath could clearly see Cloud among them, but Ozrell did not seem to notice.
“Are you questioning me?”
Ozrell coldly looked at Yorath. With just that gaze, Yorath was frightened to the point he fell onto his knees to repeatedly bow. “Old Mr. Ozrell, forgive me. I dare not question you.”
Right then, Genya pulled Cloud out of the group and spoke up. “Old Mr. Ozrell, there is indeed an outsider in this group.”
“Genya, what are you doing?” Livya stepped forward to intervene.
“Livya, you’ve allowed an outsider to infiltrate our group into the ancestral land. This breaks the Seizon family’s rules. Prepare for Old Mr. Ozrell’s punishment,” Genya said with a sneer.
“Old Mr. Ozrell, this person is not from the Seizon family. He’s an alchemist brought in by Cade, yet he’s wearing our family’s clothes and snuck in with us. Clearly, he doesn’t respect you,” Yorath exclaimed, hastily pointing at Cloud.
Ozrell merely glanced at Cloud before saying, “No one can sneak into the ancestral land in my presence. This person has Seizon blood; he is not an outsider.”
“What?” Yorath and Genya were both stunned.
“Old Mr. Ozrell, how is that possible? He…”
Genya simply could not believe that Cloud could be a member of the Seizon family.
“You don’t believe me?” Ozrell glared at Genya, who instantly went weak in the knees and fell to her knees.
