Chapter 172: Alena's rage
Alena was taken aback as she looked towards Diya. Her eyes became completely different as thunder could be seen running through her eyes. Her body started to rise into the air and her cultivation base started rising at a frightening speed.
Both Leon and Lin became shocked after seeing this and they exchanged glances with each other.
"She has already reached the eighth level of the Body Strengthening realm. She got another breakthrough after that night. How is this possible? And Lin, I told you to look over her. What were you doing that you weren't able to determine this?" Leon exclaimed as he looked at the old man Lin.
Old Lin was in shock after seeing Diya. He didn't know when she had managed to get another breakthrough. He was shocked, knowing that her body was able to withstand reaching eight levels of the Body Strengthening realm in such a short time. There were too many unanswered questions running through his mind and the thunder around Diya's body started enveloping her.
But both of them became shocked as they saw that Alena was running towards Diya and was about to take her into her embrace as Diya started losing her senses and that thunder around her body started harming her body.
Old men Lin and Leon shouted at Alena as they tried to stop her, but it was too late as she had already taken Diya in her embrace and tightly hugged her.
"Stop it, Diya! You don't have to show me anything! You are harming your body, we will figure out something. Believe me, you are still human, my child," Alena said as she caressed Diya's head. Her body was also starting to get affected by the thunder which was running through Diya's body.
But Alena didn't care about herself as she wanted to save Diya from harming herself. Diya snapped out of it as she heard Alena's words and felt her warmth.
Suddenly everything went normal but the next moment Diya lost consciousness. Alena didn't let her fall on the ground as she held her in arms.
Leon and old Lin didn't waste any time as they approached Alena and Diya.
"Are you okay, Alena?" Leon asked with a worried expression as he looked at Alena.
Tears started flowing from her eyes.
"What is happening to her? What are those things? Look at her body, it became blue. Father, tell me what is wrong with her body, I've never seen her like that, she is behaving differently." Alena looked at Leon as she spoke.
Hearing those words Leon and the old man Lin exchanged glances and Alena noticed this as she looked at these two.
"Both of you, are you hiding something from me? Tell me if you know something about her that I don't know," she said as she looked towards Leon and the old man Lin.
Hearing those words, old Lin took a sigh and looked towards Alena while Leon remained silent.
"Firstly, let's go inside the mansion, this is not the place to discuss those things. I will tell you everything, but first she needs some rest because her body wasn't able to withstand that kind of power.
She lost her senses the moment she tried to release her power, but she wasn't able to release it because of the limitation of her body." The old man Lin looked towards Alena as he explained to her and approached Diya and he patted her head with a blissful expression.
"She is confused and she doesn't know how to express her inner thoughts. I already noticed the change inside her when she was doing the breathing training inside the hall, but I don't know how she was hiding that kind of power inside her. She is a special child. I learned a few things about her past that will shock you," the old man said as he looked at Alena and scooped her in his arms.
Alena took a deep sigh as she heard about this. She was heartbroken as she came to know that his father and the old man Lin were hiding something from her and that he already knew about this but he didn't confront her.
Leon was looking towards a different side as he avoided Alena's threatening gaze. He knew that he didn't tell anything about Diya to Alena and he was feeling guilty for that.
"Let's take her into her room, and I am expecting you to tell me the truth. She is my daughter and she is suffering inside. I want to know everything about her, no matter what, and father, I want you to call Yohan back. He must come here along with his partner. I don't care about his training with Arjun. She needs his care and affection." Alena looked towards the old man Lin with a furious face.
Hearing Yohan's name, his heart sank and he looked towards Leon. Leon also nodded at him to remain calm in a situation like that. If she came to know that Yohan also lied to her, she would be devastated and they didn't know what she would do.
Meanwhile…
Yohan and Natasha were walking inside the forest and the sun had almost set and the darkness started enveloping the whole surroundings. Yohan was very concerned about this as they didn't find anything lively and the whole world itself was lifeless.
"Natasha, we need to find a place to stay tonight. Things are not looking good because we didn't find any life forms yet. It's wise to find a place before the night comes." He looked towards Natasha as he spoke to her.
Natasha nodded her head in response as she started feeling cold out of the sudden. The two suns were about to go down and the temperature started dropping very drastically.
"You are right, master Yohan. We need to find a way to spend the night. This place is creepy and I don't want to end up sleeping outside. I've never seen anything like that. This place is amiss and I am not feeling good about it," Natasha said as she looked at Yohan.
"We still have time. I have seen a few hills in that direction when I was on higher ground. We might end up finding a place if we go in that direction." Yohan pointed his finger towards a particular direction after thinking for a moment.
