ch 19

I didn't have time to ponder this long as before I knew it someone was knocking on the door to my apartment there wasn't that many people who were aware of me period and even fewer knew where I lived and it was definitely not the building staff as they already dropped off Dinara's things yesterday while she was in a trance.

I didn't feel any hostile intent so I opened the door to find Randall standing there looking bored whenever things didn't involve Sarah but immediately became stunned looking right past me.

Dinara: "Master I finally have my power under control"

Dinara was only wearing a shirt that she grabbed from my room that did absolutely nothing to hide her amazing figure and her was unbelievably sultry even without her intention to do so Randall seemed to forget about me completely even though I was right in front of him.

Randall: "Magnificent" he said in a daze

Me: "Hey Randall why are you here?"

Randall: "...."

Me: "Randall?"

Randall: "...."

Me: "Randall!"

Randall: "Huh!? Shit! Hector what is it!?"

Me: "I said why are you here!?!" I was beginning to lose my patience

Randall: "I came to tell you about your court battle..."

Apparently my dear uncle still thought of me as the same smooth brain idiot saying that he wanted to meet with me and sort out this "miscommunication" as he called it as he never intended for me to feel abandoned is what he claimed to the court so using whatever pull he seemed to have I was forced to meet with my uncle and his family tomorrow before we continued any legal action Sarah wasn't directly involved and couldn't stop this as she wasn't informed nor did I want her too involved with this disaster.

After forcing Randall to leave with much difficulty and I was only successful after threatening to tell Sarah the following morning I was woke up and got ready to deal with the unpleasantness that is my biological family I wanted to leave Dinara behind but she insisted on coming even though she was only a early stage tier zero meaning she would be essentially useless to me in a fight with non ordinary beings instead I gave some of my extra jewelry that I had infused with my demonic power but all that did was leave her looking high so I removed most of it until she was able to focus again.

The trip to the meeting place was an out of the way restaurant that had private rooms I could already see what my uncle had planned it was so obvious nonetheless I still went the place itself was truly magnificent and seemed to carved out of a single gigantic piece of marble with gold inlay in fantastic patterns which to the untrained eye were just decorative but were really as method to control the power of natural energy within the place although I couldn't say what it did specifically I knew it was massive and complicated even beyond my comprehensive abilities although it doesn't doesn't seem to be malicious but still left me nervous which put Dinara on high alert although Randall was oblivious to the change in our behavior.

Part of the answer quickly presented itself to us as a beautiful ceramic doll the size of a person approached us surprisingly Randall seemed to be expecting exactly this.

Randall: We have a meeting with...

ceramic doll: I have been ordered to escort these individuals to meet with the owner of the establishment (indicating to me and Dinara)

Randall: But we have an appointment...

ceramic doll: The room will be upgraded and the food will be compted in exchange

Randall: But...

Me: Randall it's fine besides we arrived early it won't be too much of an inconvenience I'm sure

Randall: Fine

As soon as he agreed a second ceramic doll seemed to appear out of nowhere and guide Randall away as we followed the first to a circular platform which immediately began to float the moment we all on board we then floated to the ceiling which seemed to be one solid piece but shattered open with the pieces floating around merging with our platform as we arrive on the hidden top floor where a pot belly old man sits wearing an elaborate turban and silk robes making seem like some sort of sultan as his stern eyes bore into us.

sultan: I am Mustafa Khalji and to what displeasure are demonic entities darkening my door
