Journey Of A Legend

[In Dia Family's Mansion]

A black limousin stopped before a huge building.

It was a two-story mansion with a beautiful fountain before it. Trees and green bushes with different kinds of shapes were on both of the jade roads side leading toward the entrance of the building.

As the vehicle's door opened, Scott climbed out from it with Joe and Greg behind him.

"Woooow!"

After looking up, Greg looked at the breath-taking scenery before him.

"You don't need to be so amazed by this sight. From now on, this will be your home too.", said Joe with a smile after patting Greg on the shoulder.

Hearing this, Greg nodded, and with Joe, he followed Scott toward the building's entrance.

Opening the door, a huge hall with amazing scenery, appeared before Greg.

Beautiful portraits were on the walls all around, while a big chandelier made out of gold was hanging down the ceiling. The handle of the stairs was made out of gold too and a red carpet was lying on the ground, giving a royal feeling to any onlookers.

In the middle of the hall, three butlers were standing, from which Greg realized one. He was the one who he met with when going to his first zone with Joe.

"Young Master, respected Sir and Mister Greg, It's my pleasure to meet you again."

With a slight bow, the middle butler, who Greg recognized from before, talked with a calm voice.

Scott stepped forward and said, "Please Henry, take us to the Master, we need important business to do."

Hearing this, Henry bowed and said while putting his hand to the side, "Then please follow me."

While walking up the stairs, Greg looked at the different pictures on the wall.

There was a picture, which showed a smiling man holding a baby in his arms, while an elegant woman was behind him, her arms gently holding the man's shoulder.

As he watched the man in the picture, somehow he felt that the man was a bit familiar.

"That's my father and my mother. This portrait was taken, when I was born.", said Joe, while looking at the picture with a smile.

Greg nodded and thought, "So that's why."

As the three continued to walk forward, Greg saw more and more pictures showing all the ancestors Joe had.

"We have arrived."

Henry stopped next to a door and knocked on it three times.

"Come in."

Hearing the calm voice came from the inside, Henry pushed the door open and led the three inside.

Walking inside, Greg saw a man was looking out the window, watching the outside scenery.

As they walked inside, the man turned around and looked at them, especially at Greg.

The man looked just like in the picture he saw from before. Black hair and beard, white smooth skin, and brown eyes. He looked skinny, yet he gave a feeling of a strong and brave man.

"Welcome."

As the man talked, his eyes looked at Greg with a sharp glare. It was like before the man's eyes no secrets could hide, no matter what.

Seeing this, only one sentence popped up in Greg's mind.

"A very strong being..."

After a while, the man opened his mouth again, "So you would be Greg, correct?"

Hearing his name, Greg stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Yes, that would be me, Sir."

Listening to this, the man walked behind his desk and sat down, while looking at Greg with a cold expression.

"I made Scott recruit you because I heard a lot of surprising things about you. But now that I see you in person, I'm a bit disappointed."

Hearing this, Joe and Scott were shocked, while Greg froze on the spot.

He looked up and asked calmly like he didn't hear the sentence from before, "Sir, what is that makes you disappointed about me?"

The man after hearing this leaned back into his chair and said coldly.

"Everything."

In an instant, everything felt stopped.

Greg didn't know what to say and when Scott just wanted to open his mouth, the man continued to speak.

"However you can prove me wrong if you think you have what it takes and maybe after that, you can join my family."

Hearing this, Greg's eyes brightened, and asked, "What should I do, Sir?"

"Clear a Soul Collecter ranked dual dimension zone all alone."

***

After Greg and Joe left the room, Scott didn't know what to say.

As the door closed, he turned toward the man and with a small hesitation he asked, "Is it a wise choice to make him do such a dangerous task?"

The man stood up and walked toward the window, and watched as Greg and Joe climbed into the limousine outside.

"I feel strange when looking at him."

Scott looked confused after hearing this answer.

"What should that mean?"

The man watched as the vehicle started to move on and started to talk.

"Maybe it's because your rank is lower than mine, but after looking at him, I felt a strange power coming from him. And because of that power, I felt... anger."

"Anger? But Sir, you just met with him.", said Scott with a shocked face.

"I know, that's why I said, I feel strange every time I look at him."

"Then why does he have to do that task, Sir?"

After a while, the man turned around and looked at Scott.

"You know why they call me Fate Watcher, yes?"

"Yes, of course. It's because one of Sir's ability, which helps to see a glimpse of others fate."

"Yes. However, when I tried to see his destiny, I only saw darkness. Pure darkness."

Hearing this, Scott was shocked and asked, "Then does that mean he has no..."

"Yes. He has no destiny. His future and fate are unknown."

Scott was dumbstruck after hearing this because he very well knew just how powerful was the man's ability. It wasn't just pure coincidence that the Dia family was one of the five Great Families in the Federation and he was the one who stood at the top of this family.

As the clock ticked second after second, Scott asked calmly, "Then what does this mean?"

The man turned his head back to the window and after thinking for something for a while, he shook his head in the end.

"I don't know."
