The Cheat Seed

Chapter 28

"I SPOKE AGAINST THE KING FOR YOU, MY SON"

Albert cried out in a single breath.

Marcus who was kneeing down, slowly released his hands from his father's hold and stood up.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Marcus laughed holding his stomach.

Albert and Reiren looked at him in surprise. Evy laughed along with her brother.

"That was it?, And here I thought it was much worse"

Marcus said when he finally calmed down.

His parents were looking at each other in confusion.

"Dad, Aren't you forgetting something?"

Marcus asked as he perched his right eyebrow.

Albert thought for a second and then shook his head at his son.

"Arent..You..Forgetting something?"

Marcus said again but this time waving his hands in front of him, motioning to his side.

Albert once again went into deep thought, he really wasn't getting it and neither was Reiren. They looked at each other and shook their heads at each other in confusion.

With a chuckle Marcus broke the awkward silence.

"Me!!.. I am right here, And I am a high ranking Seed user now, the king can't touch me"

Marcus turned back at his parents.

"You guys went against the king for me, Thank you, So as your son I, Marcus will even go against gods if it's necessary.

He turned his head towards them again, but his body still. His red eyes sent a chill down both of his parents spine. The pressure their son was producing was Extraordinary. The Air around started rupturing. The Aura..

"This Aura...Son, You are a BEAST"

Albert shouted, a wide smile on his face. He was feeling proud for his son's achievement up till now, But also was frightened at the insane change of his once wimpy son.

"Nah.."

Marcus replied.

He looked at his dad in his eyes.

"I am something more than A BEAST"

Marcus said with a grin. His eyes turned back to normal, the calm greenish color appeared back to his eyes.

But Albert sweated as he realized his original eyes had much pressure than his skill had!!.

"I'll go and fresh up, Mom please prepare dinner, I'll have a feast tonight."

Marcus said as he stuck his head from the doorway to his room.

"It's been almost a millennium since I had Mom's delicious cuisine."

Reiren smiled at his Son's praise. It might have been just a phrase to them, But to Marcus it was real.

"A Millennium, Haizz"

Marcus grabbed his towel from his cabinet and removed his pants. Switching on the Light (Invented with the help of Light Magic and Lightning Magic) he stepped into his bathroom floor.

It was very clean. He almost teared up when he realized his parents had been keeping it clean for his sake. Just in that sliver of hope that their son will return one day.

And here he was, surprising his Parents and having surprises for himself when he came to know he had siblings.

...

After a long, relaxing bath Marcus changed clothes to his Kimono and Capri's. He chuckled when he realized that he had far outgrown his old collection in his wardrobe. Now that he looked at his pants, he realized how short he had been and red streaks of embarrassment danced around his cheeks.

Marcus stepped out of his room and walked to the dining room, crossing the lit up living room.

It felt refreshing to be back. Marcus shook of his memories from the Dungeons and entered the dining room.

The Table was set perfectly and 5 chairs were set up in perfect alignment. Evy had a much taller chair and Marcus chuckled when he saw Evy struggle with the food on her plate.

His eyes darted around the food on the table. His all time favourite, Fire Den Turkey was the centerpiece of the feast. He drooled at the sight and staggered to his chair, his eyes fixed on the huge

meat which was almost the size of the table. His leg hit the chair accidently and the chair exploded sideways, exiting through the back door and into the dump.

"Oh, I am sorry"

Marcus apologized awkwardly to the rest of his family. Their eyes were open to an extent that they were about to pop out.

"hehe....Haaaaizzz"

He sighed.

Marcus made his way back to the living room and grabbed a chair. On his way back, he thought about the power he possessed. He really had to learn to control his strength. If he left it stagnant it might backfire, just like it did right now. But atleast the Chair left this world in style...

As he put the chair beside the table and sat on it. His mind seemed to scream some words to him and it was not the system.

'WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY'

Marcus nodded in agreement, He rubbed his chin and furrowed as he really seemed to understood the meaning behind those words.

[SERIOUSLY???, what's with this cliche' line?]

The System shouted back, Marcus snapped as he reality hit him once again.

"Marcus, Start eating"

Reiren motioned to the Turkey, taking her place on the chair beside him.

"Ah, Yeah"

The family of five had a huge feast. They talked about daily matters and helped Marcus catch up to date.

After some more of casual talks, Marcus started looking around, They were alone right now, His mother was in the kitchen washing dishes with her Water Spells. Evy and Iris were playing in their room.

Albert noticed his son.

"What is it son?"

"Ah dad, I wanted to ask you something, I actually forgot this before"

Came the reply from His son.

"Yes, Go on, Shoot"

Albert replied with a smile.

"But what did you say to the King that he banished you from his palace?..I mean seriously, You are among the best Mages in Krozon."

The smile faded when Albert heard the question. Marcus felt guilty when he saw his dad's smile fade.

"It's okay, You don't have to tell me everyt..."

"I TOLD HIM, YOU'LL COME BACK"

"huh?"

"I TOLD HIM, THAT MY SON WILL COME BACK AND PROVE HIS WORTH RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES"

"..."

"I CHALLENGED THE KING FOR A BATTLE ON YOUR RETURN, YOU, MY SON AND HIS YOUNGER SON, GABRIEL RICHARD"
