Chapter 331: 331: Join my Guild
As if sensing the change in his master's state, Voli just listened quietly. It's not that he can't understand the conversation.
As the fusion of thousands of beasts, his intelligence had far surpassed other demon beasts. Voli was quite sure that his IQ should be even higher than average humans, and he was proud of it.
However, in comparison to his master, he feels that his intellect should be 100 times lower. After all, his master was omnipotent and he could do everything. This is his belief in his master. No one is greater than his master. Voli feels frustrated that he can't talk after all. He doesn't have vocal cords that are like humans. He wants to talk, but he can't. 'Damn it! Why should demon beasts like me just be capable of growling? Why can't I talk?' 'Fuck! Fuck! Shit! I hope the master will one day find a way to help me talk. Maybe if it was a master, he could change my vocal structure.' Voli looked at his master with adoration and pride. However, he doesn't have the intention of expressing it to his master now. His master seems to be sad due to the death of a human named Alfred.
'I'll just keep quiet for now. At that time, I will communicate it to him. But how can I communicate it to him? I can only growl. I can't talk. I can't also write.' Voli looked at his small paws with an expression of helplessness.
Caleb did not know the careful thoughts of his beast companion. If he knew about it, he would be completely speechless. After all, he's not expecting Voli to be that smart or have such self-awareness.
Caleb excused himself and step by step walked to the stairs briskly. He wants to go into the details and inquire more about Alfred's situation. Caleb rubbed his chest as he felt that it was beating harder than usual. He knew that it was because of the emotional turmoil that he was experiencing. Although he hadn't been with Alfred that long, he was used to waking up with the old man training him and even tending him. His service is something that he can't get to other people. That's how reliable Alfred was. Who would pick him up from school now? Who would drive him when he needs to go somewhere?
A minute later, he saw his family in a circle at the table talking to each other.
"Is it true? ?"Caleb asked as he went behind his mother and looked at everyone at the table. There was an old man in the center that he was unfamiliar with.
Who is this old man?
Caleb thought silently. The father of the household gave Caleb a stern look. "Where did you go, son? I've even instructed my intelligence department just to find you, but they can't. As if your traces have disappeared. Even the electronics all around the city don't have anything about you. How did you manage to bypass all the surveillance in the city?"
"Did you utilize your intelligence department just to find me? Why would you even have to find me in such an extravagant way? I'm not going anywhere." Caleb shrugged helplessly. What did they think of him? Did they think that he got kidnapped? He did not even disappear that long, right?
His adventure to the yellow zone only took about 8 hours or 9 hours? Are they that overprotective?
"Yes, son. You know you are a member of our family. Your worth and value are not something ordinary people could think of. Well, you are also an awakening genetic warrior in a prestigious school. And with the wealth of our family, do you think that no one would dare to kidnap you and ask for a ransom? Don't do that again. You made your mom and I worried, you know?"
Caleb sighed and decided to apologize for this. "Sorry, mom." He glanced at his mother who looked distressed.
Then, he noticed that everyone, including Klein and Delvin, looked downcast.
"Well, the most important thing is you're finally here, safe and sound.* His mother smiled gently, which made Caleb a bit guilty.
'Well, am I guilty? I'm already too old for this. They're just too protective. If they knew that I'm already transcendent, they might even laugh at themselves.'
As a transcendent, who could harm him? There are only other three transcendents in the Philippines, and they have a lot of matters to take care of. Not to mention, he has Volu on his shoulders. Also a transcendent like him, plus his three shadow assistants. A transcendent when they fuse into one. So with such a line-up. Who could do anything to him in this small country? Their power level is enough to fight a big country.
Caleb looked at the old man, then turned his head at his father. "He is???"
His father smiled in response. "He is your grandfather, Jeff De Vera. You haven't met your grandfather since your birth, because he had been overseas for more than a hundred years, managing a genetic warrior guild. Yes, your grandfather is a guild master of genetic warriors."
Huh? I... my grandfather? And he's a guild master?
"So you are my grandson. Hmph. You just look like your father. And don't you pay respects to your grandfather?" The old man smiled at Caleb.
Caleb could not sense the strength of the old man at all. Usually, there are only two possibilities when this happens. The first is that the old man was a lot stronger than him. That's why he can't sense his strength. The second possibility is the old man was just a normal person. The question is, how could a normal person become a guild master overseas? So there's only one most likely, and that is his grandfather has a higher realm than him. Maybe one or even two realms.
Shit! Who would have known I had such a hidden strong grandfather? No wonder our family has grown to such an extent. Maybe it also has something to do with my grandfather.
"Hello, grandfather. I'm... you... you already know me, but I don't know about you so...
"Just call me your grandfather. I'm already old for this so... I heard from your father that you already awakened and fused a gene to your first gene lock. Quite amazing.
"Even in my guild... there are only a handful of warriors that manage to break through the awakening realm at your age. So, my grandson, do you want to join my guild? I will groom you to be the next guild master if you want to." The old man gave a hearty laugh. "Nah, no thanks." Caleb refused without even thinking too much about it.
Guild master? Why would he do such a time to do such a thankless thing? After all, he can just fuse hundreds of beings and form his own guild and it would become the strongest guild instantly. He doesn't have an interest in matters related to guilds now. He only believes in his personal strength.
"Well, that's quite a pity. But you're always welcome to my guild. After all, you are my grandson. And a genius at that. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha."
Caleb shook his head. His grandfather looks like someone easy to get along with. But he knew for sure that these kinds of people are the type of people that are super overpowered. Just like in anime that he has watched in his past life. Maybe his grandfather was in the realm higher than transcendence? Such a strong powerhouse was actually his grandfather?
