Chapter :-117 [The Hidden Sage] of [Hliðskjálf] (Part-2)

Outside awaited a platoon of armed soldiers near the stairway, neatly stationed in straight lines to welcome Elijah Mikaelson of the Mikaelson family from Japan.

Elijah walked down the Jet while looking at the people standing in front of him. Edward and the commander of S.T.A.R.S were standing at the bottom of the stairway to greet the handsome Mikaelson.

"Welcome Mr.Elijah….! I am so happy that the Mikaelson family accepted my invitation to my son's birthday party..." Edward wore a polite smile on his face while he introduced Elijah to the commander of S.T.A.R.S, the Head-Captain, Lieutenant Colonel, William Sirius, the creator of [Molecular Divider].

The most elite of the USNA Military's Magician Unit "Stars", the Head-Captain is code-named "Sirius" is the magician who possesses the strongest magical power. It's known as a rumour that those bestowed with the title of "Sirius" are front-line fighters.

[Molecular Divider] is a secret technique that weakens molecular bonds. It was developed by Major William Sirius, a previous USNA Combat Magician Commander. A classified USNA military magic.

"This is William, a high-ranking official of the S.T.A.R.S…..he is representing USNA to welcome you." Off-course Edward wouldn't say that the Head-Captain of the First-class unit is here to monitor Elijah's movements.

Unfortunately, nothing could be hidden from Henrik. Not even the true identity of William who was currently undercover.

"Mr.Edward…my brother is interested in your knowledge upon different systems and acknowledges your skills. Unfortunately, he is busy with some urgent work thus asked me to attend in his place….he sends his regards." Elijah politely greeted Edward back while he turned towards William to introduce himself.

Edward was a middle-aged man with short black hair and a unique face. He was 5'11 in height and had a bulky body.

"Hello, Mr.William….nice to meet you." Elijah extended his hand for a handshake as an acknowledging gesture which the opposite party gracefully accepted.

"Hello, Mr.Mikaelson…..I appreciate you attending Raymond's birthday party, it is a great honour for the USNA to welcome you to our nation….." Both of them shook hands before Edward led them towards the USNA private travel vehicle.

The three of them sat inside the vehicle as it started moving towards Edward's mansion where Raymond's birthday party was being held.

"So Mr.Mikaelson, if you don't mind then may I ask why the Mikaelson family looks like British and have that accent even though your family is of Japanese origin?…." Inside the car, William started the conversation by asking Elijah a genuine question which he had always been wanting to ask him.

"You see…the Mikaelson family wasn't originally a Japanese clan. We are actually of British origin, about a 1000+ years ago our ancestors moved to Japan from England, the reason why we look British even after 1000+ years is that our family line is totally pure-blooded, the Mikaelson family bloodline recreates within ourselves thus our British accent and looks. Factors like climate change and land didn't affect us due to our magic.…." Henrik had already told Elijah to dismiss such a question using the justification he provided just now.

"I see…." William nodded his head as he processed the information he received just now.

ᒥ....We truly don't have any useful information on the Mikaelson family. Even the data collected from the England servers and history records don't contain any information on the Mikaelson family other than the fact that the Royal Family are the only allied family with the Mikaelson family outside Japan….ᒧ

William actually wanted to gain some knowledge on the mysterious Mikaelson family but after observing Elijah for some time and judging the pressure he released, William knew that he wouldn't be able to gain any useful intel.

Elijah had mastered [Force] to an impressive degree and had even mastered the [Modern Magic] that Henrik created. Henrik had given him his [M.A.G] and [Lightsaber], that he created for him.

Even if Elijah was still mastering the [7-Arts of Lightsaber], he was still [Assualt] [High] [Tactical-class magician] and that was without using Tsukuyomi's power to control gravity using the Moon.

After a few minutes, the vehicle finally stopped and the driver opened the door. Elijah and the others stepped out of the car and looked towards the huge mansion in front of them. A dozen of maids and a butler stood near the entrance to welcome the guests within the mansion.

The three moved inside the mansion which wasn't really bustling with people. Edward only invited a few important people and family friends to celebrate Raymond's birthday as he didn't want to disrupt the harmony of his mansion by filling it with people.

"Honey, I am back with the guests….." Edward walked forward while William and Elijah followed behind him.

"Welcome back darling, are these our guests….?" A young woman in her late 20s was standing beside Edward while wearing a purple dress and high heel, she had a pale white skin and silver hair with sharp eyes.

"Mr.Elijah, Mr.William...this is my wife, Vanessa." Edwards introduced his wife to his guests.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs.Clark, I am Elijah Mikaelson, Edward loved talking about you when he worked with us on a joint project in Tokyo….." Elijah could clearly see that the relationship between Edward and his wife seemed a little strained thus out of goodwill, he decided to help the man a little with his problem.

He took her right hand within his hand and little kissed the top of her palm according to the British custom (I don't know if it is true or not).

"Is that true Mr.Mikaelson….?" Edward's wife seemed a little happy with Elijah's words as she thought that her science obsessed husband did care for her.

"Off-course it is true, I wouldn't dare to lie in the presence of someone as magnificent as Mrs.Clark…." Elijah attacked her using 'Praise the Woman' attack and it worked like a charm. Elijah could see Edward's grateful smile towards him.

After the introductions were done and William also introduced himself, Edward asked Elijah if he would like to meet a few people who wanted to have a conversation with him.

"I guess that wouldn't be possible….I would like to meet the little Raymond and return back to Japan as soon as possible…." Elijah's motive was clear, he had to compel Edward into creating [The Hidden Sage] and return back home. He didn't have time for meeting people and holding conversations with others, he had work to do.

"A-Ahh..ok, please follow me…." Edward stuttered for a few seconds before motioning Elijah and William to follow him.
